Pensioners VIII Last
Several More Decades

Washington, October 19.-(Special.)-
Judging by the records of the wars of
the Revolution and 1872 1t will be
somewhere between 1851 and 1855 be-
fore the last Union survivor of the
civil war passes away. Pension Com
missioner Warmers report, made public
today, shows that d. #. Bakeman of
New York was the last survivor of the
Revolutionary war, dying April 5, 1859,
aged 109 years, six months and eight
days. The last surviving pensioned
soldier of the 1872 war was Hiram
Cronk of New York, who died May 13,
1905, aged 105 years and 16 days. The
same periods after the civil war would
put the date of the last pensioned sol
dier of the civil war somewhere be-
tween 1881 and 1855.
Long after the last veteran had been
dropped from the rolls by death, the
widows will survive. The records show
that the last widow of the Revolution
ary war was Ester II. Damon of Ply
mouth Union, Vt, who died November
II. 1896, aged 90 years. She was not
born until 1914, or 81 years after the
Revolutionary ended. At that rate the
widow of some veteran of the civil war
may be alive in the year 2000 The
names of 395 widows of the war of 1872
remained on the pension roll June 80,

martial and shot in Barcelona, were

dBATONYI CASE
IS CONCLUDED

New York. October ia jury In the
supreme court decided tonight whether
the second matrimonial venture of Frank
Works daughter, Frances Work-Burke-
Boche- Batonyi, and the second venture of
her second husband, by the way, is to
be called off, but the decision will not
be known until tomorrow morning, when
q sealed verdict will be opened before
Justice Ogerman.
Aurel Batonyi, native of Austria and
former professional whip and horseman,
took the stand himself this afternoon to
deny his wifes charges of improper con-
duct with two women. After a great
deal of family history had been aired.
counsel for both sides summed up and
the court told the jurors that if they ac
cepted the denial by Batonyi that ne
knew or had visited an apartment mouse
in Central Park West or had taken
taxicab ride with Beatrice Bravaine, an
actress, they must bring in a verdict
In his favor. If, on the other hand,
they did not accept the denial there re-
manned to them the duty of determining
from the evidence of the seven witnesses
been committed.
The jury, after three hours leliher-
ations, reached a verdict and then went
to their homes
Mrs. Batonyfs testimony was followed
by emphatic denials by the defendant
who spoke SO heatedly that he was ad-
monished by the court. He denied his
wife's allegations in toto, branded them
as lies, said he was bounded by DEVILS
and accused his wifes relatives and 9TH
ers of alternating her affections.
Cross questioning by Mrs Batonyis
council brought out some new sidelights
on the case today.
What is your real name?" he was
asked.
'Aurel Batonyi."
You have had another name?'
1.-TWO other Names
What were they?1

troubles, the plague of the automobilist,
proved today also to be a plague or

plane was flying 20 feet above the earth
with Lieut. Frank P. Lahm operating
the levers the motors suddenly stopped.
The cool headed Wilbur Wright grasped
the levers without delay and brought the
machine safely to earth.
The motors stoppage, which might have
been followed by such an accident as
that at Fort Myer year ago when
Lieutenant Selfridge was killed, proved
to be the source of much amusement.
After the machine was brought to earth
Mr.. Wright himself could not get sin

1t was afterward discovered that the
care-taker of the machine had failed TO
replenish the gasoline supply.
