Major Matt r. Peterson, United
States volunteers, died at Los Animas,
at 9 o'clock, October 18th. Mrs. Peter

later. "GORGAS,

captain of the regular establishment.
He was a graduate of West Point and

STATE
The Number for This Year Increased.
The Rate Per Class
Especial to the Messenger.)

Especial to the Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. c., October 18.-The pre-
liminary estimates made by the state
auditor show that the number of pen.
sioners on the state pension roll, under
the general pension law, has reached
6,072. This is an increase over last
year of 100.
Pensioners are divided into five class
es, the number in each class for current
ear being as follows: First-class. Ill,
a decrease of 10 from las year; second
class, 1858, an increase of II; third class.
GIG, IN increase of SO: fourth class,
1926, an increase Of 81; Widows. 1858,
a decrease of 16.
The amount of pension fund avail
able for 1900 is $113, 800, of which $112,-
230 will be distributed.
The amount of pension for each class
is: First-class $5S, second class SAB. so,
third class $29, fourth class $14.50,
widows $14.50. Last years pension
fund had $4,000, which amount was
transferred to this fund, by act of the
legislature, from the accumulated
LAND grant fund. Nothing of this
kind is available for this year in favor
of the pension fund, and the IND is,
therefore, smaller for this year than
for last year..
The decrease in the amount of fund,
with the increase in the number of
pensioners causes a reduction of the
amount for each pensioner for 1900.

mere were probably five times as
many people present as could near
was said. Mr.. Bryan spoke for
only about half an hour. He mounted
a table so all could see.
Referring to the size of the crowd,
Gr. Bryan said he had wasted a great
deal of time in visiting other places,
not knowing that the whole state
would be in Oswego."
AS he had done in his previous
speeches Of the day, Mr.. Bryan again
gave the principle place in his remarks
to the trust question. He charged that
the republicans hoped by jugglery, and
only by that means to deceive the peo-
pie into voting their ticket. In re-
spouse to a voice from the crowd con-
corning the starch combination, Mr..
Bryan said that he knew nothing per-
sonally in regard to the Oswego works.
but that he had been told that the
works were employing fewer men now
than formerly.
He related the circumstances con-
nected with the legal proceedings
against the Nebraska branch of the
starch combination and warned his
hearers generally against trusts of all
kinds as calculated at any time to
close any industrial enterprise which
might be controlled by them.
The return trip to Syracuse was made
in an hour n this city was reached
W o SloCh-
A cold drizzling rain which set in ear
ly in the evening did not dampen in
the least the ardor and enthusiasm of
the immense crowd which greeted Mr..
Bryan when he arrived here at sos
o'clock from Oswego. The crowd was
probably the largest which has greet
ed a political speaker here for man
years.
Two meetings were held here, one
an outdoor and the other to a packed
audience at the opera house. At both
meetings the crowds were immense and
enthusiastic.
At Dewitt there were a number of
railroad men in Bryan's audience. He
spoke to them of the full Dime pail.
He said that yer if there was a full
dinner pail for the laboring mar it
would be impossible to trace it's exist
ence to the republican party. THE la
Dor organizations of the country" he
said, have done more for labor in the
past few years than the republican
party could do in a century,"
He also said that the newspaper or
gan of the Order of Locomotive Fire
men had been reduced thirty-two pages
in size because of the increased price
of paper due to the paper trust, and
added hat the republicans would
probably be willing to cut all the re-
mainder of the publication, so that the
readers of it could get nothing to read
except what the republicans themselves
might supply.

SCHOONER RUN DOWN
Cut Nearly in Two by an Unknown
Tug-Escape of Her Crew.

Norfolk, Va, October 1.-THE
schooner John A. Curtis, of Baltimore,
Captain E. w. Travers, was run down
and sunk in Hampton Roads at an ear
ly hour this morning, while it was yet
dark, by an unknown ocean tug. The
Curtis at the time of the collision was
passing the Ripraps on her way to
Norfolk from the Wicomoco river, load
ed with fish guano. She was struck
with great force and a her bow car
ried almost entirely away. Captain
Travers was struck by a flying timber,
the blow rendering him senseless. The
tug, which had her after pilot house
carried away, it is reported, steamed
off after the accident and was not again
seen by the crew of the Curtis. The
crew of the schooner, which was rapid
ly filling, headed their vessel for the
beach near Willoughby spit, where she
lies full of water.
Captain V and his crew, who
left the vessel in a yaw1 boat, reached
Norfolk today after a thrilling eXpe-
rience, their yawl having narrowly es-
capped capSizing on serveral occasions.
The schooner Curtis was owned by her
master, Captain Travers, and was in
Sured in Baltimore.
