II. E. Corbin of Charlestown, NH, has
recently obtained under the old law s12
per month for Mrs. Mary Higgins, wife
of the late Daniel Higgins, Co. G, 11th
Vermont Volunteers of the civil war.
This is an important case as the widow
was originally pensioned under the act
of June ~, 1890, and is consequently
transferred from that to the general law.
Handling this case required thorough
knowledge of the pension laws, consid
cradle legal ability and vast amount of
patience and perseverance in collection
of evidence. Mrs. Higgins benefits by
arrears of "a per month from December,
1897. This at orney has now pending
several important test claims which WI
decide the status of thousands through
out the country.

He Fires Two Loads Of Lead
Into Himself.

Vincennes, Ind, June 30.-Because
Of jealousy William Miley, a farmer
at Iona, attempted suicide by shoot
ing himself. Three doctors worked all
the afternoon to save his life, but they
declare he will probably die. Miley
and his wife attended a dance at the
home Of Charles Gibbs and it is said
Mrs. AIiley paid considerable attention
to two other men, which caused Miley
much anxiety, and he protested against
her dancing with other men. She child
ed her husband and told him she would
dance with whomever she pleased.
This so enraged Miley that he de-
clared he would whip the whole crowd.
He started to execute the threat, but
was knocked out in the first round.
This stopped the dance and Miley and
his wife went home. The couple quar-.
relied next morning and Miley picked
up his shotgun, went to the barn,
turned the muzzle against his breast,
pulled the trigger. the shot taking eff
feet in his left shoulder and tearing
it almost to pieces. Before any one
could get to him he fired another shot
into his left side, inficting danger.

was no reason for their uneasiness and

Washington, June 30. = Secretary
Moody received teleg- lms from news
paper editors and others inquiring as
to published reports that Emperor
Williams inspection of the Kearsarge
was sharply criticised in the navy de-
Iartment and was considered breach
Of naval etiquette. The metropolitan
papers had much special matter to this
effect In reply the secretary sent the
following telegram:

spection Of the Kearsarge has been ut

I am informed further by Rear Admir-
al Taylor, chief of the bureau of nayi-
CATION, that the emperor's inspection
is in no way subject to criticism and

inspect battleships Of friendly nations,

ONLY FoRrY-ErGHr ACCOUNTED Fon
OF 2Ss Men Who Went Down into the
Mine I'm the Morning.

Omaha, Neb, July IA special to
The World-H erald from Hanna, Wyo.,
says of the mine disaster there: Two
hundred and eigthy-two men went
down jii the mine at a. m., and up
to this writing only forty-eight have
been accounted for. OF this number
two are dead. 1t was some time after
the explosion occurred that the first
man was brought to the surface. He
was followed by others until o'clock,
when the last We're brought out. The
rescuers were unable to penetrate fur
ther into the mine until additional open
ing had been made to permit fresh air
to reach the lower levels and clear
away the foul gases. Horses and
scrapers were put to work hauling
debris away from the shaft, and cars
were pushed down the incline, loaded
and hauled back up the tipple and
dumped.
''The work is progressing slowly, ow-
ing to the narrow space in which the
rescuers were compelled to operate. A
party of rescuers reached four mules
that were alive, and this caused hopes
to arise i'm the breasts of the tired
workers and the anxious women and
children gathered about the shaft. 1t is
faint hope, however, for experienced
mine bosses and miners say that when
the imprisoned men are reached all
will be found dead.
Some OF the miners that escaped
said they saw twenty dead bodies in
entry Nc. II. They reported that many
of the men were crazed by the ex-
plosion, and ran hither and thither in
the mine. Many of these could have
escaped, but they laid down, buried
their faces in their hands and gave up
the fight. OF the 234 dead about IT'S
were married and leave large families.
About 100 were Finlanders, fifty were
colored and the balance were Ameri-
cans
