New York, July 16.-Fifty men,

the murder of their fellow workman

Getzner was the victim of one Of

in the annals of crime in Greater
New York, according to the polite
and Coroner Farrell, who is invest

Desiring to revenge upon Getzner,
his companions in the workshop tied
the man to a fly wheel in the factory
and watched him while the whirling
machinery hurledt his body through

and beat the life out Of it. = -..
Two weeks ago Getzner reported
one of the men for being negligent in
his work. The man was reprimanded
and an investigation of his case
brought to- light the fact that other
workmen likewise had been neglectins
their duties. All came in for a share
of the reprimand. From that moment
it is stated the workmen planned to
be revenged upon Getzner.

PENSION ( DECISIONS
BY THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE
r.. INTERIOR. E. - g..

Line of Duty A soldier having
been requested by his sick captain to-
go outside of camp to procure food
suitable and necessary for the recov-
cry of said captain, and his superior
officers having given him express per-
mission to obey the captains request,
he was in line of duty and is pension
able for disabilities thereby incurred.
Departmental Jurisdiction.-The de-
partment of the interior has no author
ity to review nor to correct an error
alleged to have been committed by
the secretary of war in pursuance of
a discretionary power expressly con-
ferred upon the latter by an act of
congress; and, therefore, this depart
ment can afford claimant no remedy
for the alleged denial of his rights.
Pensionab1e Insanity-Date of Pen
sion.-The proviso in section of the
act of March 3, 1879, that the limita-
ton prescribed in said act as to the
date of filing applications for pension
shall not apply to claims by or in
behalf of insane persons" is not ap-
plicable for purposes Of arrears to per-
sons whose insanity has been de-
veloped years subsequent to July 1,
1880, and whose application was not
filed until, for instance, April q, 1886.
Certificate of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
when an officer applies for and re-
ceives a certificate Of disability to &C
company his resignation, his action in
the premises raises the presumption
that the facts stated in said certificate
are admitted by him to be correct, and
he is estopped, after the lapse Of many
years, from denying their correctness
except upon testimony of the most
positive and conclusive character.
Cadets-Pensionable Status-A ca
Diet while in the q. S. military acad-
envy learning the art of war is not
regarded as in the military service of
the United States, as contemplated in
section 2 of the act of June q, 1890,
for pensionable purposes. -~
