against It.
Mr.. Wafer made speech against the resolu-
ton. In which he alleged that the Dewey Re-
ception Committee had violated its pledges and
was not planning to fulfil its duties in proper
way.
Why does this committee build triumphant
arches ?" he asked. "We should erect stands

Wafer.
Mr. Mccall. the Tammany leader. urged the
adoption OF the resolution. although he said.

cording to the stories told to President
Bishop. was made a household drudge.
She was compelled to work in the gar
den and TO bring the farm produce to Paterson
and Ridgewood to sell. President Bishop de-
clares that she was regularly beaten before
starting out and warned that she would be
worse treated II she failed to sell all the prod
uce for stipulated price. Because she failed
to finish q piece OF farm work within an
allotted time she was kicked about until nearly
nsensible. and the marks Of the kicking are
still visible. At other times she was beaten
with board whitfield down into a convenient
shape. Mr.. Blshop says he has also ascertalned
that once recently she was kept at home
because her head had been cut oren by blow
from club and one OF her eyes backened by
her fathers fist. On Saturday she was
sent to Ridgewood. accompanied by hor
little brother. and they we're only able
to sell part OF their produce. The boy
became frightened. as they had both been
threatened with dire punishment IL they failed
to sell all. He disappeared and has not re-
turned. Tilie after sitting on the wagon from
noon until late at night. was taken from the
wagon by Dr. Oxford. OF Ridgewood. and pro-
vided with supper. Unused to being so kindly
treated. the child told her story OF i'll treatment
and was sent to this city TO be placed in the
charge Of the society. She was in a badly neg
lected condition. and the society placed her in
tho home OF Mrs. Philip Zeitlinger. 143 Broad

take the proper steps for the criminal prosecu-
ton OF the father
Another case Is that Of Harry Gedney. who

to be regularly abused by drunken father. 1t
issalleged that they are brutally beaten by their
father and that 1t Is their frequent lot to be
hung up for considerable periods OF time by
their thumbs in lieu OF more common punish
ments. President Bishop is not yet prepared to
make names public. He expects to be able to

TEXAS PENSION APPLICANTS.
The Number Is So Large that tho Allow
ance Will BE Very Small.

AUSTIN Tex. Aug. 15.-The last Legislature
passed law putting into effect an amendment
to the State constitution providing for the PEN
sionng OF INDECENT Confederate veterans. The
appropriation is $4,000 for the first year
and $3.50. 900 for the second year. The Boards
OF County Commissioners OF every county in
the State met yesterday to pass upon appica-
lions for pensions. The total number OF appli-
cations already submitted is more than 12.0O0.
and it is expected that the number will not be
less than 10000. 1t is already evident that
owing to tho large number OF pensioners the
per capita allowance will be very small and
no material benefit to the men receiving It..
There Is already talk OF repeating the law.
