Pension Lost by Remarryinw

New York Aug. 14.-James Cooper of
First Avenue and Thirty-fifth Street, this
city, was arrested in Jersey City yester-
day on a charge of bigamy. The COM
plant was made by the widow of William
Sharples, a veteran of the civil war.
Cooper and Sharples had been comrades
in the war and when Sharples died, three
years ago, Cooper began 10 pay attention
to the widow. She had heard that he had
a wife living, but he persuaded her that
he had been divorced, and she finally con-
sented to marry him. They had been
married only short time when Cooper
deserted her. In the meantime the woman
forfeited the pension she had been re-
ceiving as Sharple's widow. When Coop
er deserted her and she learned that he
had another wife she endeavored to get
the pension again, but was informed that
she could not get it until her marriage
with Cooper had been dissolved. She was
also informed, she says, that if Cooper
was convicted of bigamy she would be
entitled to her pension again. She in
duced Cooper to go to Jersey City and
then had him arrested. Cooper's first
wife is living in Philmont, N. j., and is
married again. Cooper insists that they
We're divorced. AS there was not much
evidence to sustain the charge of bigamy
Police Justice Potts paroled him.

EngInnd,s Philippine Trnde.

London, Aug. 14.-An official statement
has been issued in reference to trade be-
tween the United Kingdom and the for
mer Spanish possessions in the West In
dies and the Philippine Islands.
Imports into the United Kingdom frcm
the West Indies last month were GS,265
nearly double the trade in July, 1897
Exports from the United Kingdom TO the
West Indies last month, e1Ss. compared
with s91. .s92 in July, 1897.
The Philippine Islands imports into the
United Kingdom last month were 92i4 ,267
and in July, 1897, they were e3l, lS9 Ex-
ports from the United Kingdom 10 the
Philippines in July, 1898, were Ella, and
in July, 1897, G49,1ss
The Statist says today: Exports from
the United Kingdom to United States last
month were over f1,e00,0O0 less than in
July, 1887. The imports into the United
Kingdom from the United States hst
month showed only small decrease.
When there is an opportunity for using
money more profitably in New York than
in London the money left here will be
withdrawn. How much we still owe to
the United States is difficult TO ascertain,
but we estimate that for the past seven
months our purchases OF AiieiiCaH Pio-
duce have exceeded our shipments 10 the
States by about e66, ,000,o00.
"Deducting the obligations of the United
States TO England for interest, etc, there
is still a large balance which has not
yet been liquidated. Continued purchases
of American securities in London by New
York are helping US to pay off a portion
of this debt and are also preventing gold
from yet being taken, but with the re-
duced amount of securities now held in
Europe 1t cannot be expected we shall be
able 10 pay for our wheat and cotton when
exports of these from the United States
again become very large, as they VIII
probably do toward the end OF Septem-
Der.
while we may be able 10 satisfyfour
debt 70 the United States for some weeks

certain America will require gold from
us in September. SD

PROTECTED IN OFFICE
The First Suit Under the Amended
Veteran Law

Veteran Law
Seneca Falls, Aug. H.-Yesterday the
referee, Col Fred w. Manning, Of Wa
terloo, handed down his decision in the
case of Byron Goetchins against ;he VII
lage of Seneca Falls. in which The plain
tiff sues for reinstatement On the police
force. The recently amended veteran law
furnished the grounds for the claims
Goetchins attempted to establish. This
is the first case ever tried under the pro-
visions of this law, and it's result has
been awaited with interest by veterans
everywhere.
According TO this law, no honorably dis
charged veteran of the late civil war, in
the employ of the State county, town, or
municipality can be removed from office
until after charges have been preferred
against him and an opportunity has been
granted him to defend himself. in Feb-
ruary last Goetchins was removed from
the local police force and another man
was appointed TO fill the vacancy. Suit
was brought against the corporation in
the Supreme Court. The first hearing
was held before Justice Davy in Rochss-
ter on April 26. at which time Col. Man
ming, of Waterloo, was appointed referee.
In the decision handed down the referee
favors Goetchins in each particular the
latter having proved beyond all doubt
that he was twice honorably discharged
from the Ninth Veteran Cavalry of New
York, and was, therefore. protected by
the provisions of the veteran law. All
that is now necessary to complete the
victory of Goetchins is the confirmation
of the report of Referee Manning by JUS
tice Davy at a regular term of the court
TO be held in the city of Rochester dur
ing the week commencing October 25.
Goetchins is former member of the New
York City force, and is well known there.
