Vetoing' tho Pension Bill.
Harrisburg, May 25. Governor
Hoyt has vetoed the act granting pen
sious to Mexican soldier.;. In his
message the Governor, among other
things, wiys:
The principle and policy of this bill
isa new ami wide departure from pre
vious legislation on the fubject in this
or any other country. 7o conditions
are exacted with respect to the several
classes included in the act. Neither
wounds, disability, sickness, disease,
old age or actual want arc taken into
the account or made the ground for
this new and unexampled charity.
All are embraced without regard to
length of service, present condition in
life, necessity or foatunc. Under its
provisions a millionaire in the enjoy
ment of perfect luaitii may receive
annuity of seven ty-ilve dollars per an
num during life.
By the terms of the bill no exceptions
is made of persons now enjoying .such
bounty (special annuities) from thu
Btate,and the question whether it does
not confer a double pension on the
class named is not unworthy attention.
Mexican soldiers now receiving seventy-two
dollars per year from the gen
eral Government oil account of wouiuli
or actual disability arc excluded, whi'e
a soldier who received no wound and
Incurred no disability is given a larger
sum. A further inequality and in
justice of the bill is to be found in the
fact that a soldier enlisting from
Pennsylvania as a citizen of the State
who has since changed iiis residence
and trained citiz-juship elsewhere is
not within Us provisions, while those
who enlisted from other States are in
cluded for no other reason than be
cause they chance to have been here
ten years. Such residence can cer
tainly give no claim on Pennsylvania's
bounty. If no other reason, existed
why this bill ought not to receive Ex
ecutive sanction tho condition ot the
Treasury would bo suillcient. Until
some adequate and proper amend
ments to tho revenue laws are enacted
the receipts from taxes must remain n
matter of speculation and doubt, with
no certainty that sutlieient will be
obtained to defray the necessary ex
penses of Government, the interest on
the public debt, and to pay the expen
ses of organized and indispensable
State charities. At this time we may
- well hesitate before adding unother
burden of unknown and continuous
magnitude without provisions for lift
ing It, ami for tho mere purpose of
Gratifying a sentiment, honorable
though it may be, rather than for the
relief of real distress,
The house refused to givo the neces
sary two-third vote to pass the bill over
the veto und the Governor was thus
sustained. The yeas were 02 (insteud
of la4,as required by the Constitution)
and the nays were .

Saving Ton Million.
Washington, May 25. Treasury
officials now guarantee that $270,000,
000 of the fives will arrive to be stamp
ed under the conditions imposed by
the Secretary. Abut $10,000,0110
came In to-day from California,
mailed a week ago and therefore
eligible for contiiuance. Of the
batch, Flood, the boiauza capitalist,
contributed $l,B(i0,(K. A question
arises as to what to d with the bonds
that have come too lute and yet arc
duly assigned. The Secretary will
probably address a c.cular of inquiry
to holders ask4ng tlntn whether they
perfer the old bond returned with the
assignment canceller, or wisli a new
bond which would te Identical with
the other, oxcent as to the number.
All the fs held by the hanks aro in,
except about $10,000,000, and only live
small lots of 0s, less than $1,000,000 in
amount or the banks' securities, failed
to be (stamped. A rmgh estimate of
the extent of the stamped loan of both
!s and ts taken as a bauis of calcula
tion led to the conclusion that tho re
cent operations of Secretary Windom
in funding will result in a saving of
yearly interest of about $10,000,

The courts at onetime were dispone-!
to colli.', me the law as be-ween letiMits
and osvin.1 in i'.ivoi' of the 1 liter, but
recently their decisions have been
much more Siboir.l to the t'.naut.
Once it. was understood that whatever
improvement was added to a property
by o tenant could not be removed.
There has been a decided moditlcution
of decision on the subject of late. As
a general rule, whatever a tenant
puts into a dwelling or erects on the
promises for his own com'o'.t, with
out tho intention U permanently
annex It, he may remove it any time
before the.:; expiration of his lea.-e.

lixi-.nvs
and temporary structures, whether
frame or bricl:, and without regard to
their size, may be taken d nvn and
carried oil" by the tenant wiio erected
them. Even a dwelling house is not
a part of the realty if the right to re
move is reserved. All the landlord
can legitimately demand is to have
his property restored to his posse-sion
in us good condition as it was received
by the tenant, ordinary wear and tear
excepted. Whatever the tenant puts
in of a movable nature lie may take
away, but his carpenter work must
not injure or permanently alter tho
property. All the decisions concur
that these removals of improvements
and fixtures must be made within the
term of the lease. If the tenant waits
until his lease has expired the land
and all that is ou it except tho purely
personal property of the tenant reverts
to the landlord. Ex.

There being now pending in this
department great numbers of volun
teer pension claims which cannot be
satisfactorily verified for want of in
formation which missing records of
discontinued volunteer commands
would afford, and it having transpired
iu many instances that otiicers of the
late volunteer forces have still iu their
possession or under their controlbooks
and other records pertaining: to their
corps, divisions, brigades, regiments,
and companies, their attention is called
to the fact that all such books and
records should be deposited with this

to cause the same M be forwarded
without delay to thu Adjutant General
of the Army, at Washington, District
of Columbia.
No expense, other than postage or

5HX HUMORED EXCURSIONISTSTHUOWN
INTO THE RIVER NEAR LONDON,
CANADA ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY DEAD BODIES AL
READY RECOVERED.
'London. Out , May 24. This even
ing at 6 o'clock the steamer Victoria,
with over six hundred excursionists
on hoard, was returning from Spring
Bank and when ncur the Cove Bail
way Bridge, one mile below the city,
the boat suddenly collapsed like nn
eggshell und become a total wreck,
level with the water's edge. All the
passscngers were instantly plunged
into the stream, more than half of
(hem being underneath tho debris.
The first news of (lie disaster which
reached the city was brought by sur-
vlvnrs. who Htriunrled thlMU'jU the
streets (vet and weary. The news fell
like a tbundcrlHilt, and a stampede
took place for the spot. Arriving
there, a horrible night met their view.
Ffly or sixty bodies had already been
recovered and were lying on the bank.
Those arriving from the city from
every direction crowded around,
anxious to see if any relatives were on
board. About 1,000 families were
represented on the excursion and the
wail of ancuish that arose at tile Bight
of the victims was heartrending.
Pat hers, mothers, brothers and
sisters rushing about panic-stricken
endeavoring to indent'ify their friends.
About 7 o'clock SO bodies were re
covered from under the wreck. Al
most every minute some victim was
brought to the surface and conveyed
to the bank. The steamer Princess
Louise was early brought to the spot
and the victims were placed on the
upper decks. Fires were lighted on
the bank overlooking the river, pe
troleum torches were brought, and the
search was continued until night.
HECOVFKINO Tlii: DEAD.
London, Out., May 25. Tho follow
ing account is furnished giving
further details of the terrible calamity
of yesterday. It was the first day of
the season for the excur.-ioii boats to
run regular trips, fi'id this .iicuni
slance, taken in connection wiMi the
public 'noli. lay, tile anniversary of the
'-iuecn's birthday, naturally drew
irowds of pleasure-.'! ekers to the
liver. Trips were ni."'e down the
rive;' a distance of about four niib.M to
Spring JJatik, a p!ac-- of popular re
sort, where the City Water Works are
locate.!, and three or four local steam
boats look down large loads of ex-cur-ioni.ts
at r.::u?ar intervals
throughout the day. About 1 o'clock
in tho afternoon the Victoria of (h'.
Thames Is avigatioii Company Line
started from the dock on her fourth
and last trip for tho -lay with a Ir.rgo
load of passengers of all ages, variously
estimated at from -loo to iViO in num
ber. All went well on the down trip,
thoiiirh tho boat was so heavily laden
that sl.c shipped water in small quan
tities occasionally when the crowd
would happen to surge to auy par
ticular side.
TJir. fatal iioMr.wAr.n tku
On tho return trip, when more than
half way home, a e-iiglit commotion
on the boat, said by some lo have b.'cn
caused by the playful pranks of u
number of youth -. on the lower d..-ek
and by others ascribed to the boat
striking ou a sua;,', musing the crowd
out of curiosity to rush to otic side, and
as the side of the boat sank' with the
additional weight, a volume of water,
a foot or two in depth, poured in upon
lie lower .deck, which was crowded
,vith passengers, instantly mo crown
on both decks rushed to the opposite
ide, and their weight, together with
that of the water shipped by the boat,
caused n lurch from the opposite di
rection. Then it was the disaster oc
curred. The side of tue bout sank in
tiie water to the depth of one or two
feet, and while the crowd on the
lower deck were struggling to save
them-'elvcs from slipping down into
lie river, the stanchions supporting
the upper deck suddenly gavo way,
mid the whole structure, with its
load of human being.., came down on
those who were below, crushing them
on the deck and rendering escape im
possible. The scene that followed
cannot be described. The boat con
tinued to settle on its side deeper into
the water, taking with it many of tho
passengers who were stunned by the
fail of the upper deck and were, there
fore, unable to help themselves.
Scores sank into the water without
consciousness of their fate, while
many others who were precipitated
into the river uuburt rent the air with
their vain appeals for that succor
which those of the passengers who
were safe were powerless to extend to
all in a moment. The utmost ex
ertions were put forth to rescue us
many of tho drowning ones as pos
sible, und many were in tins way
saved from a watery grave.
LAYING IN KUWS ON THE (Ht.VSS.
s soon as possible help . was
secured ami the work of recovering
the bodies from the river and from the
wreck was proceeded with. The
bodies were placed on the steamboat
Louise as fa?t as they were brought Up
and then taken to the Company's
docks, where the task of identilleation
began. The accident occurred tit about
a onartcr past six and it was mid
night before the bodies so far recovered
were brought back to the city. Here
u mo.-t heartrending scene ensued.
The bodies us fast as they were
transferred from the steamer were
laid out in rows on the grass by the
riverside, all in their holiday attire,
and with tho aid of torches tho faces
were eagerly scanned by hundreds of
friends iooking for their missing ones.
A goodly iortiou of the drowned
were nieu iu middle life, and many
were children. Many were the wall
of sorrow which followed the Identi
fication of a relative. Perhaps it was
a mother who discovered her child, or
the children a parent. One 'man was
heard Inquiring for four children. As
fast as the corpses wore claimed they
were taken In charge by their friends
and removed to their homes. The
utmost con fusion prevails, and eveu at
present it Is impossible to secure a
complete, list of tho drowned, but
many prominent citizens and their
families are Included in the number.
The number of bodies recovered so far
is variously estimated at from one
hundred and thirty to one hundred
and sixty, and more will probably be
found during the day.
THE CITY WRAPPED IN GLOOM.
When the water was let off by the
removal of the plash boards this
morning search-was continued for those
under the lower deck, and twenty
more bodies were brought to the sur
face, making about two hundred in all
recovered. It is not known how
many more, if any, are lest. The
City Council met to-day ami passed
resolutions of condolence. A settled
gloom reigns over the city to-day
Many business places aro closed. It.
O. Montgomery, a leather merchant of
Toronto, was on board, but escaped
and succeeded in saving many others.
He states that on the passage up the
Captain went among the passengers,
urging tiieiu to keep on the oilier side.
To one hoy he said : "For God's sake,
keep on the other sale; if you don't
you'll have to swim for it." A little
later Mr. Montgomery saw the water
pass in over tho deck and the boiler l'o
by the board, when tiie crash imme
diately took place.
THU KU.iKli.U, PKOCEEPrN'O.
Almost all business is at a f tand-still
nnd crowds line the streets discussing
the sad calamity. The funeral of tho
victims is at tiiis hour (lii.'iO p. M.) pro
ceeding. Soit'iun stillness prevades
the city. Flags are at haii-uiast and
bells are tolling.
Up to this time (10:li0 P. M.) 1W3
bodies have been recovered It is
believed that there are several yet be

"Some folks seem to think this is

'"Pears to mo 'twas worse than this in
the May of "25, wasn't it?"
"A heap worse," assented old Uncle
Linklnbotham, "but that wasn't as

"lloed I do," rejoined old Daddy

serving the hair. It restores, with the
gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray-,
light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep
black, as may be desired. By Its use thin
hair is thickened, and baldness often
though not always cured. It checks falling
of tho hair immediately, and causes a new
growth in all cases where the glands are
not decayed; while to brashy, weak, or
otherwise diseased hair, it imparts TitalUy
and strength, and renders it pliable.
The Viaon cleanses the scalp, cures auf
prevents the formation of dandruff; and,
by its cooliiij, stimulating, and soothing
properties, it heals most if not all of tho
humm-s aud diseases peculiar to the scalp,
keeping it cool, clean, and 6oft, under
