a GIGANTIC FRAUD.
Three Quarters of Million Men Still
on Pension Rolls.

The annual report of Hon. Clay
Evans, commissioner Of pensions, will
show that during the year there were
added to the pension roll 4O,991 names
and 1876 were dropped, 34,345 Of
these by reason OF death. There was
expended for pensions sl3S, ,355, ,052.
The annual value Of the entire pension
roll amounts to s135, 1861 being
S649, 1876 more than it was ever before,
due to the higher average value of pen
sions. The roll is made up Of 1853, 451
surviving soldiers, 237, ,415 widows anG
dependent relatives and 653 nurses.
The total disbursements to pension
ers since 1866 we're S2, 3S9, 9,9l0,974.
During the same period SIS, ,49O, 1856
went to examining surgeons; Sl2,O92,-
us to pension agencies and s52 237 22o
for salaries and other expenses of the
pension bureau.
The total number Of original appli-
cations filed during the year, includ-
ing those on account Of the war with
Spain, was 1876. The number of
original claims allowed was 37,0W.
During the year 107,919 claims of all
classes were rejected, a large percentage
Of these being claims for increase. The
report will state that the delay in the
adjudication of claimsis in nearly every
case the fault of the claimants or their
attorneys.
In order that the prensent complex
system of pensionins may be simpli-
fed and to secure more uniform prac-
tice in the future, the appointment Of a
commission on the laws, rules and
regulations is recommended.

a TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Five Men Killed and Seven Seriously
Wounded By It.

A boiler explosion at the Republic
iron works on South Twent-fourth street
Pittsburg Pa, shortly before daylight
Friday killed five men and seriously in
jured seven others. A fire which broke
out following the explosion added to
the horror. The mill was partly wrecked
and the entire plant was compelled to
close down.
The explosion occurred just as the
night force was leaving and the day
force was coming on duty, so that
there were only few men in the mill
at the time. If it had happened a half
hour later the list of dead and injured
would have been appalling. 1t oc-
CURED in the 14-inch department and
the conclusion was terrif;. Buildings
were shanken a mile 2Way and dust
filed the air for two or three blocks.
1t entered open windows and nearly
sufocated persons who were aroused
by the roar and the shock. Immedi-
asely following the explosion the wreck
age took fire and this added to the DIFF
fculties encountered in rescuing the
burned and mutilated victims.
When the boiler burst section Of it
weighing four tons was blown through
the ROOT an',. crushed into the side Of
the house OF Gregory Sanders, On
Wright's alley, about 200 yards distant.
The building, which was of frame, was
wrecked, but the occupants escaped
with a bad fright. This flying portion
of the boiler tore down the central sup
ports Of the roof, which fell in and par
TALLY buried some Of those injured.
The cause Of the explosion has not
yet been determined. The damage to
the plant was heavy, but the firm can
not estimate it at this time.

WISDOM FROM TIE NEGRO.
Rev. D. Brown Of Winston Raps the
Colored Preachers.

The status Of the colored race was
discussed in Baltimore Wednesday at
the second annual convention Of the
district foreign missionary society ofthe
colored Baptist churches. The presi-
dent, Rev. DR.. W. C. Brown of Win
ston, n. c., sounded the keynote in his
annual address. From the expressions
of approval given by the delegates it
becomes evident that he voiced their
sentiments in condemning unlawful
ness by Negroes as well as unlawful
punishment Of their crimes.
The president said in part.
''The greatest sociological question
bcrore the people of this country is
what shall be done vito the Negro.
Three alterations have been suggested
subjugation, emigration or extermina-
tion-but the true solution has not
been Observation-Disclosures. Put
backbone and grace in the pulpits; put
moral power and courage into the min
istry, both white and black, let them
preach feariessly the gospel of peace
and universal brotherhood. Let the
people be taught to fear God and keep
his commandments; let all, both white
and black, be trained to respect the
majesty Of the law and this much-vexed
race problem will solve itself.
Let US condemn rape and rapists;
lynching and lynchers. Race preach.
ers are a menace to the religion of
Jesus Christ and by cunning, ill-ad-
vised indoctrination and subtle theories
they are sowing from the pulpit's tares
in sufficient abundance to choke the
maturing grain. Race manias may do
for politicians, but they will not do for
preachers. u
In endorsing the presidents address,
Rev. DR.. R. Spiller, Of Hampton, Va,
said: II am as ready as and one to rise
up and condemn the wrong docr, be he
white or black. I want to sustain the
law, and if necessary for the protection
of our homes, to exterminate every Ne
gro who disobeys the law.
Delegates are present from Mary
land; the District of Columbia, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West
V, MIA, Ohio and North Carolina.

is no school in the country that turns

to send for one of their catalogues.

TO HONOR DEWEY.
South Carolina to be in the Picture at
New York.

The indications are that Gov. Nc
Sweeney, the majority Of the members
of his staff, a number OF the State Of
fcials, and a number of military COM
panies from various, portions Of the
State will go to New York to partici-
pate in the Dewey festivities: The ex-
act date has not yet been fixed, but
the event will take place about October
I'd, and no time is being lost in making
preliminary arrangements.
Adjutant Gen. Floyd is how looking
into the cost Of transportation, etc.
The governor and staff and state off,
GERS will probably secure Pullman
sleeping car for the entire trip; the
cost Of tickets to those going in it will
be about $50 for the round trip, accord
ing to the special rate sheet issued Fri
day. Of course the cost Of the car will
have to be added. Gen. Floyd is now
endeavoriDg to ascertain the exact cost
so that the information can be forward
ed to the members Of the governors
staff. Incidentally Gen. Floyd urges
each member Of the staff to secure his
uniform at once, as it is proposed for
the entire staff to go fully uniformed.
The uniform to be used by Gov. Nc
Sweeney's staff officers will be the
same as that worn by the members of
the staff of the governor of Georgia
the regulation United States fatigue or
service uniform.
The New York Dewey Day commit
tee has notified Gen. Floyd that the
committee will furnish each military
company that comes with comfortable
quarters free and that each soldier will
be allowed 81 per day by the commit
tee. This is an inducement to compan-
les to visit the metropolis at mini
mum cost to the men. So far only one
company has accepted-the G1eenville
Light Infantry, and the members are
making all necessary preparations.
Gen. Floyd is in communication with
number of company commanders and
expects to hear in few days that at
least half "a dozen organizations from
South Carolina will be in New York
to help the governor and his staff wei
come the hero of Manila bay back to
his native shores. The opportunity
is rare one and the adjutant general
feels certain that the citizen soldiery
will not be slow to take advantage OF it.
A very cheap railroad rate will be al.
lowed for soldiers tra7elingin bodies
