THE ROLL OF HONOR.
4 Partial List oi Pensioners Receiving
Above ai5 Per Month.

In its crusade against the dishonest pen
-oucr- the New York Sun has commenced
the publication Of the roll Of pensioners.
Friday last it published the names of all re,
ceiviug pensions above S45 per month, 3 3,jGs
in all.
These are the cases of the badly injured
veterans those who suffered to such an cx-
cent that they require bodily assistance or
regular medical attention, and the widows Of
distinguished officers whose services have
given them good claims upon the gratitude
Of the nation.
As the list published on Friday is only one
third OF one per cent. of the list of pen-
5ioners, it can be easily understood what a
large task the sun has laid out for itself 1t
makes no excuse for doing so, but states that
firstly it desires to establish the principle
that the pension list is a roll of honor and
that the pensioner whose name is on it has
nothing to fear but much to gain by the pub
ication of it, and that the policy of secrecy
pursued by the pension office has been the
means of committing many frauds which it
hopes to 80 exposed.
On the list we find the widows of Genls
Grant and Garfield in receipt of pensions of
$4,000 per annum, Mrs. Sheridan S25OO, the
widows Of Gems. Mcclellan, fremont and
Logan $1,000 while among those in receipt of
$1,000 per aunum are the old veterans, Franz
Sigel and John A. McCIernaud and the
widows of Custer Hartanft, Doubleday,
Warren and Anderson.
Among the list of old veterans from this
section we find the following in receipt of
the amounts specified viz: Adam Bummers-
bach, Locust Gap, $50 per month; Isaac J.

COMMISSIONERS CASE,
1t Was Resumed This Morning Before
Judge Bechtel.

Judge Bechtel.
Pottsyille, Jan. 1O.-The case of the Tax
payers Association vs.. ex-Commissioner
] Charles +. Allen aud present Commissioners
/ Frank Rentz and John p. Martin, continues
to attract much attention, and the court
room was again crowded this morning. It.
was 6:45 o'clock Saturday night before the
last juror was selected.
EX-SherH Scott and Deputy Prothonotary
Leib told how the jurors Of 1897 were drawn
in December 1896, and Judge Bechtel over
ruled the motion to quash the array of
jurors, made by the defense.
His Honor was very firm in urging counsel
on both sides forward, and after he informed
them that jury would be selected on Satur-
day if it took all night, more speed was
attained and the big crowd did not have to
ur. $ t..air supper altogether
Attorney Ryon pleaded not guilty for Mr.
Martin, Attorney Mar did the same for Mr..
Rentz, and Mr.. Allen, in the absence of his
counsel, did likewise for himself. Charles
A. Berger, solicitor to the Commissioners,
took seat at the table for the defense during
the afternoon and Charles A. Snyder was
added to the Commonwealth's array.
The defense had exceptions noted ON every
decision, indicating an intention to move for
new trial if this one goes against them.
The jurors are:
Charles Sailor, lumber dealer, Pottsville
Samuel G. Boyer merchant, Port Clinton
h. }. kirlin, Justice of the Peace, POrJ
Clinton
Daniel Conan, fireman, Mahauoy Plane.
Jacob Lurwick, railroader Port Carbon.
Edward Shoener, carpenter, Orwigsburg.
Jacob Holwig, laborer, Pottsvile
Wesley Seltzer farmer, Orwigsburg.
Nelson c. kuarr, mason, Mahantongo twp.
Fred Eberlc, barber, Pottsville.
William c. Womer box manufacturer,
pottsville.
Harry Krice, laborer, Frailey.
1t lacked but a few minutes of eleven
o clock this morning when Judge Bechtel
told counsel the case could proceed. In
the meanwhile he would examine the authori-
ties cited, and by two o'clock should decide
whether the indictments found last week
would be admitted part of the proceedings.
John o. Ulrich, Mr.. Aliens counsel, was
on hand this morning looking somewhat the
worse for his illness from tonsilitis.
Fergus Farquhar made the opening address
for the prosecution. Among other things he
said it was IA matter of no moment to the
iuIymen who urged the prosecution. If the
charges are not proven, conviction is not
asked. Everybodys business is nohody's
business, and the financial affairs of Schuyl-
kill county were everybody's business until
the parties urging this suit began to look
after matters. There are 32 different counts
in this Indictment there are 13 of these
counts alleging acts of omission or commits
sion relative to the Improvements at the
almshouse, began in July, 1896,
Upon tine conclusion of Mr. Farquhar's ad-
dress records were produced showing the
election of the defendants as County Com
missioners and also the filing of their bonds
as such in the sum of $4,000, each, after
which the court adjourned, at 1890, until 2
p. m.

The minutes of Jan. /, 1894, showed the
organization of the Board and appointment

ruled the objection.

made to court by the Commissioners for leave
to construct new hospital and improve
