DID NOT WEIGH The COAL
Mr.. Kennedy Says Inspector How.

He DENIES wrone-Doing-C Commits
sioners Decide to HIVE the
Contractor Tried.

The District will proceed against Mr..
Kennedy, the coal contractor. whose coal
was held up and declared short weight, last
Saturday, by detective, While it was ON
its way TO the Dennison school.
The Commissioners had long meeting
yesterday, which was devoted largely to
considering the alleged shortage, and IL
was decided to have Mr. Kennedy before
the police court Immediately for violation
of the statute relating TO short weight coal.
The Commissioners. would make no state
ment as to their belief in the matter, but
simply said when the meeting adjourned
that they were determined to find the truth
OF the matter, and punish anyone found
guilty. - Tse
The Commissioners also announced that
Mr.. Howard, the coal inspector. is held
to be blameless in the matter. His duties
have been more than he could thoroughly
perform, and they say they are convinced
he has done the best he could under the
circumstances. He Will be given additional
assistance In his work hereafter.
Nothing il said by the Commissioners as
to Mr.. Kenedy's coal contract, except that
itwillnot be etaken ava V from him, unless he
is found TO be guilty.
Mr.. Kennedy denies absolutely any wrong
intention or wrong-doing in the matter. He
says that ne mad known of the inyestig.-
tion of his methods for a long time. and
even was aware that the particular loa ds on
Saturday would be held up. He alleges
further that Mr. Howard did all the weigh

CERTIFICATE HELPS BROWN.
Its Wording Leads Mr.. Davis TO
Grant a Rejected Pension.

II htJttttu
A Assstant Secretary of the Interior Davis
gave a decision in the pension claim case
of Jason p. Brown, late of the Navy,
which was rejected by the bureau The
bureaus action is overruled and the claim
allowed. The argument used against the
applicant was that he had not served
ninety days in the late war. Mr. Davis
finds by reference from the War Depart
nent rolls aud his discharge certifica te that
the claimant had eighty, out OF the requi-
site ninety days, To his credit on July l 3,
1865, q fact which,, from an equitab bic
point of view, commends the claim to the
favorable conside IA ton Of the DEPART
ment.
Mr.. Davis says: The further fact that
the armed cruiser upon which claimant
served remained Off the coast OF Texas
from January / To April O, 1866, crea tes
the presumption that said service was
rendered in furtherance of the suppression
OF armed hostility in that State. In the
certificate of discharge the Secretary OF
Navy assigns as a reason therefor the
fact that the war for the preserva tion
of the Union had been brought to a sue
cessful termination. This, it seems, is an
implied declaration to the effect that
claimants services had been rendered in
the war OF the rebellion

GEN, GODIh'S INQUIRIES

Statement as TO the Position of the

Mexican War Pensioners.

New York, Jan. 1O-Gen. John p Go
bin, of Pennsylvania, commanderin-
| chief of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, admitted to-day that he was
quietly investigating the alleged pen
sion frauds.
Il do not care to say he said, upon
what lines | am conducting this inves
tigation. The Grand Army of the Re
public does not allow the imputation
to rest upon it that it sanctions any.
thing wrong We wish to see those
wfro are entitled TO draw pensions Sc.
cure their rights.
Il hear that newspaper is begin
ming to publish the pension list. That
is all right / do not know how it is
here, but in Philadelphia they have
an excellent way TO save time and eX-
pense for those who are drawing say
only s. per month. Instead Of these
poor pensioners having to pay car
fares and fees to notary when an
affidavit is fgiade, they simply go TO a
place prepared by the Grand Army.
Then, too in order TO detect a fraud
the pensioner appears in person and is
identified. We know he or she is not
a mythical person. The Grand Army
does not wish~to see the Government
defrauded out of a dollar In fact,
only one-third of those on the rolls are
G. A. r. men.
1t must be remembered that many
pensioners on the list never served in
the late war. At least thirty thousand
are men who We're wounded or disabled
in Indian wars, and this is excluding
the Mexican war veterans. AT one
time think that more than 50, 900 Mexi-
can war pensioners We're on the rolls,
and yet hardly half that number served
in the war. Gen Taylor, when he
fought the battle of Buena Vista, had
scarcely 5000 men, and Gen. Scott
operated with only 10. Go9. These two
armies conquered Mexico, and yet the
pension list, it is said. was double the
number of soldiers. This shows how
the pension list can grow. The reason
SO many applications for pensions have
been made recently is that during Mr..
Cleveland's Administration thousands
held back because they knew the Ad
ministration was antagonistic.
Pension Commissioner Lochran
pigeonholed many applications, and it
was generally understood that he per-
mitted only enough to go through to
fill the vacancies caused by death
do you think the maximum has
been reached"
I do, and from this on ! think there
will be a decrease in the number of
applications
