A PENSION FOR THE MAN SHE
KILLED.

A pension has been allowed recently
to the widow of a soldier of the sixth
United States cavalry for whose death
the beneficiary was responsible. While
the startling fact would seem to debar
! the widow, the peculiar and interesting
/ circumstances of the soldiers demise
rendered it proper for the pension Of
ficials to pass favorably upon her APP
plication
1t appears that the soldier, according
to the coroner's verdict, came to his
death May 7, 1888. through choking with
leather watch chain, in the hands Of
his wife while she was protecting her
life. The Widows statement before the
jury disclosed a remarkable series OF
incidents, and was corroborated in all
essential respects by other witnesses
She testified that her husband had been
drinking heavily for week. She had
gone to him at IL o'clock and told him
that dinner was ready. He made no re-
Spouse, and after the meal was finished
and the diners had gone, he came and
told her to prepare dinner at once She
at first demonstrated, but observing a
strange look upon her face, became
frightened, and began to do as COM
manded,
The husband then said with an oath
that he was going to kill her, and struck
her, knocking her against the table. The
wife then fled from the house, thinking
to find some of the men about the place
who would quiet or restrain her hus-
band She ran to field where men
were ploughing and besought their in
reference or protection. They refused,
saying they could do nothing with the
men Meantime he had gathered up
the baby mounted a horse and followed.
in pursuit of her. The husband rode to
his wife, who begged him not to hurt
her. He replied with an oath that he
would break her bones, and would kill
her-that she must die. He then threw
the baby to the ground, pulled his six
shooter from his belt, tried to make his
horse run over her and reached out try
ing to strike her with his revolver. AS
he leaned over he fell from his horse to
the ground on his side and back. In
falling he fel lagainst his wife, knock
ing her down. She jumped up, threw
herself upon her husband intending to
get his revolver away from him. She
laid hold of his leather watch chain,
which he wore around his neck. The
leather guard fastened with a slip-knot.
The wife clutched the chain with one
hand and with the other held one of
her husbands hands. She was exhaust
ed and lay in that condition for four or
i've minutes. He did not struggle, but
made a queer noise in his throat.
When the woman recovered she arose,
MO the revolver and ran to the house.
Whea the men went to where her hus-
oand lay they found him dead. The wife |
1ad unintentionally strangled her hus- |
band. Her pension has been granted, |
md to-day she is drawing So a month. |

CHICAGO, Dec. Chilly Delaney, man

in the city to-day. He is bound for New

of the leading heavyweights to try their

visit to New York is solely for the pur-
pose of signing some good man to fight JEFF
fries. Every possible inducement will be
offered Fftzsimmons to draw him into an
other match with Jeffries Bob is the man
the public is most anxious to have tackle
the champion. 1 don't know whether he
has retired for good or not. One hears
so many contradictory stories that it is
impossible to tell which is false and which
is true. If he doesn't want to fight again
he has a perfect right to stay out OF the
game. All he has to do is to tell so and
we shall not trouble him further. l have
made arrangements to hold sort of re-
ception in New York next Monday after
noon between the hours of 4 and o'clock.
All of the leading heavyweights their
representatives will be requested to attend
and make bids for a fight with Jeffries.
l don't mean to play any favorites, and the
man VINO gets his forfeit money for match
down first will be JeffriesS next opponent.
Madden will have to look elsewhere for a
match on behalf Of Denver Ed Martin.

summarizes its report as follows:
THE actual result of our investigation
appears to clearly demonstrate the fol-
lowing salient facts:
THAT there is an almost unanimous
sentiment throughout the country and
among the leading commercial interests
thereof favoring a uniform and national
bankruptcy law.
THAT such sentiment appears to exist
to a like extent preferring a national sys-
tenn of bankruptcy to state insolvency sys-
TENS.
THAT there also appears to be a general
consensus of opinion among those best
qualified to pass upon the questions that
the present law needs amendment in sew
eral important directions.
THAT the amendments contained in the
Ray bill appear to have received the favor
able approval of the most important con-
stituent commercial element of the coun-
try.
THAT concerning the questions involved
in Section 81 q of the present act, arising
by reason of the construction given to such
section by the courts, attention should be
given to the matter by Congress in the
