 Is a Good One If It Pans Out-The
 Lady In The South End Says Her
 Story In Yesterdays Democrat Was
 Correct,
 The agent Of the Private Letter Box Suppiy company concerning whose scheme an arucle was published in last evenings Democrat presented himself at the Democrat otlce to-day ana LOOK exception. to several of the statements Winch the article contain ea. lie declares that the story was raise that he had attempted to se- cure money from one lady without naVlnS any of the boxes in his possession. He says he has the sane ton Of the postmaster and the chef of-poilce of this city and presented one or two credentials from out-of- two people. The plan was all right rom a to z.
 fostmaster Guernsey in regard to the affair this afternoon. MT Guernsey sald that the agent had seen him 2 day or two ago. had explained to him Who he was, and presented credentials rom. prominent people in Hartford and other cities. He had no samples Of his boxes with him but said he would bring along one later. The postmaster had not up to 2 o'clock this afternoon see any of the. boxes, neither had he heard any more of the agent or his boxes. Postmaster Guern- sey said he favored and sanctioned the movement if it is as the agent stated it was and the circular described it. neither the scheme was q Swindle or not the postmaster did not know, but he did know that person would be foolish to pay any agent 9 cents or even 3 cents in advance on the promise that the goods would arrive later. M
 The Democrat reporter also met his informant again to-day and the latter reiterated his statement, which was as follows. One day this week the agent called at a. house in the south end. After explaining his mission, he left q circular. parts of which were published last evening, and also stated he would call around the next day for the money. The next day he did re- turn but without any letter boxes. He was refused the money by the lady of the house and was ordered out.
 This is substantially the story as it appeared in last evenings Democrat and as it was reiterated to a Democrat reporter to-day.

ure for q Pension Court of Appeals.
 Washington, Feb 2-The house committee on invalid pensions, by vote of to c. decided upon an adverse report of tEe Grand Army bill pro viding for a pension court of appeals. The action of the committee was taken at a session which was held yesterday, before the house was called. to order. and after three days spent ill hear ingS at which those who were forward ing the two measures before the com mlrtee appeared. It was decided by the committee that on Monday morn ing the bill which has been prepared by the secretary of the interior pro- viding that five pension cases shall be taken to the higher courts and de- cisions requested in them, so that precedents might be established. should be voted upon. The action of the committee to-day in deciding upon an adverse report of the pension court of appeals bill is taken as a positive indication that the secretary's bill will be reported favorably. It is declared by one of the strongest supporters of the measure that nine of the mem bers of the committee favor the sec retary's bill. The action of the com mittee is the continuation of q ralner interesting controversy which has been going on for the last two weeks be- tween the Grand Army and the in- terior department.

EAST ROCK PARK.
New Haven's Fine Driveway May Bs
 Closed for Lack of Funds. !

V
 East Rock park, says the New Ha- ven papers, stands a good chance of being closed to riders and drivers dur- ing the approaching spring and sum- mer seasons. There is no other way out of the dilemma in which tLe cc,1pe of common council has placed the park commission, except that the public spirit of New Haven might come to the rescue, and in private contribu- tions. provide for the maintenance of the park as it should be maintained
 For several years the appropriation for the East Rock park had been $6,- GOO. This year. because things did not material'v~ the satisfaction of the court oN An council, tho appro- priation K @ reduced to 5000.
 G. K. AN h, superintendent of parks. says This sum is absolutely in- adequate to the decent maintenance oh the park and he can see no other way out of it, if the public does not como to the citys assistance, than to closa the park to all teams and equeStrdanS during the ensuing year.
 It will take at least 1,5OO to keen the fences surrounding and in the park in repair, and the watering of the driveways would entail an expense ots S1 500 more. This does not include the repairs on the driveways, and 1Q the absence of, those repairs 1t wQui0s be dangerous for teams to go 0vle4 them Accidents might cause the cif13 large expense in, damages. s sssst.ss !

DYING A PAUPER,
Son of Former Captain of United
 States Cruiser Potomac.

Chicago, Feb 2.-The Record this morning says: From musty rooms in the rear of the second floor of q di.ap- dated building at 37 Norton street the police yesterday removed to the de tention hospital a dying man who claims to be son of Samuel w. Glad ding, Bristol. k. l., former captain of the United States cruiser Potomac and veteran of the civil war. Lying on his bed the man told the story of his identity to his wife yesterday, parts of which she had gathered during the seven years of their married life. In the story which the man tells is the name of a half sister, Abby Nj. Glad ding, who, according to his story, mar ried a well known Chicago packer.
 The wife, who asked that her hus- band be cared for until his death, has known her husband as Charles John son. Under that name she married him, and as result was disinherited by her mother and stepfather.
 According to the story told by the woman in the presence of Lieutenant Morgan Collins, her maiden name was Helen Richter. Her father died and later her mother married Samuel Spellman of New York, founder of the present wholesale silk house of Spell man Bros. At the time Helen RlcnteE Spellman met young Gladding she says he was a member of the board of trade of New York and was well knoWr un- der the name of Charles Johnson.
 With the couple all went well for two years and then unfortunate specu- lations dissipated the money. Later he located in Chicago and bought q restaurant on the west, side. He again met with reverses in business and at length became a laborer and in want. The couple have three chil- dren. The woman said her husband was a graduate at Brown university and soon after displeased his father and was diSowned.

 The solemn, stately progress of the cortege through the park was rendered more impressive by the minute guns of the nearby battery.
 1:15 D. m. = The procession has reached Paddington.
 The eight Hanoverian cream color ed horses, which also drew the late queen on the occasion of the Jubilee, were used to-day. The gold harnesses, scarlet-coated postillions and scarlet and gold-coVered grooms who held each of the horses by the bridle were all the same. Only, the little gun car riage, instead of the glittering glass and gold coach marked the change. The gun carriage with the exception of Its rubber tires and d platform over the gun for the coffin to rest upon, was equipped as for field use.
 It was nearly Il o'clock when, a minute ahead of time, the train steam ed into the station.
 N All heads were uncovered as the saloon carriage bearing the queens remains stopped exactly opposite the gun carriage and King Edward, Queen Alexandra, Emperor William and others alighted. Then the bearer-par- ty advanced to the saloon carriage. and, with his hand at the salute and standing a little in advance of the others, King Edward watched the painfully slow removal of the coffin to the gun carriage. It was finally ac- complished and the pail and the re- galia of the British crown were placed on the coffin.
