Cause of Delay in rayinS Pensions.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 1.-The cause
of the delay in sending out checks to
the COME lerate pensioners of the state
was occasioned by the necessity OF the
accounting department to reduce all
amounts 10 per cent because OF insult,
ficient funds to pay the pensioners in
full. This cut applies to all classes
coming under the so-called disability
acts passed in 1883. The beneficiaries
of the Anderson bill Of 1883, however,
will suffer no reduction.
There are about $4,000 pensioners,
who are dependent upon Gtheirapension
money for the necessities OF life.
