The following item lias been go ing the rounds of the Pennsylvania newspapers ami was published in this jmijrt a short time ago: No women who marries an old soldier after July 1 will be entitled to a pension if lie dies. The old soldier with a comfortable (tension has turmshud inducements tor manv designing woman to wed, especially as his death dojes not stop the jtcusion. But this will all be chanced next year, and the veteran who gets mar ried alter that tune will have the satisfaction of knowing he furnishes all the attt actions himself. Some questions, Having ariseu here with regard to it, the editor enclosed a copYof thu item to Con gressman Mahon, asking if such law had been passed and requesting a copy of it. 1 he letter was return til with this endorsement v our Congressman ; "Respectively returned to Mr Fosnot with thu information that there is no law ou the statue ltooks to the cfleet that women maryiug old soldiers after July Lst will not he entitled to a pension if their inisiHUHls cue. i nu coiumissioner ot Pensions recommended such legis- ation, lint the Committee on Invalid Pensions did not approve of his recommendation." We would state, however, that the pension law of 1890, known m the dcitcndcnt act, provides that widows can only secure jtensions under that act who were married to linn since lbxfO can only secure a iteiision under the old law and therefore his death must have i i teen due to a pensionable uisca.se .. .... or cause. 1 lenee lew soiaier s wives married 8ini"e 1890 will be able to secure jtensions.

Lost Thursday at least tour minor accidents occurred in this vicinity. In the morning a gentleman from Bcavertown drove over and killed Mrs. J. C. Hassinger's pet dog. The dog was on the street and be ing totally deaf aud almost blind did not know the team was coming In the afternoon Banks Yoder was driving to Globe Mills with one horse, a mule and a wagon, liie team became unmanageable and ran away. While runuinir the team scooped up a cow belonging to Mr. Hackenburg and carried her on the tongue ot the wagon for quite a distance, lhe horse was hurt con siderably and will recover but the cow will probably die. Sylvester lioweiis horse was kicked at Hrrtleton so severely that he could not be driven home and Mr. Bowen had to walk home. Ed.

Chatta ncx mia , Jims 11, 1898. Soldier life at Camp Thomas is beginning to feel more realistic to the forty-throe thousand volunteers camiKHl on the battlefield of Chiea- maugii Park than it was three weeks ago. The various reeiments have been divided and placed in corps so as to lie commanded by the brigadier-generals assigned to them. Uniforms and ammunition, arms, etc. have liooit furnished the volun teers that came here in civilian dress and armed with a Jack-knile,sothat very lew remain to lie supplied to lie ready for camimiiru service. Army discipline is urged and enforced by the officers and a continuous drill is kept up to jterfect the I joys. A trip to the camps reveals incidents at times amusing and again jtathetic. In one camp you may see the sick lx-ing fanned by his faithful eom mniou, the thin and jtale face show ing inward pain and burning fever which cannot be relieved to a print extent when the thermometer is 95 degrees in the shade. The thought ot a cool home in some northern slate where mother and sister watch and wait for his riirn which may never lie. In another camp you can see tlie soldiers playing games or performing upon an improvised trajteze, or jterliajirt a native pick aniny who is on his way to the corn field or melon patch is stopped and made to dance or singa song. There has been a littleeomplaint ultoiit the rations furnished the men but from reports furnished by men of exjteri einie it is claimed thnt proper rations are issued and that the men should not cxtcet to iwive chicken and jot pie or ice cream and sjjongo cake in an army camp. There has I teen sickness caused by the soldiers buying supplies such as soda pop, cakes, etc. from the numerous jjed dlers that travel all over the ijark and an order has liecn issued by General Brwoke that the peddling ' nuisance must Is; stopped and the soldiers asked to confine themselves to Uncle Sam's ljoarding house. The men are fed on rice, Iteans, cah- tage, bacon, and, on certain days, thrive fresh meat. Each soldier is ntitled to one 18-ouncc loafof bread . r.'i 1 1 I I I'll jer day. I he un-au is iiaKeu ngiu near the .amp liv a Chattanooga firm who have a contract to hake one loaf per man per day. So at this timetortv-thrce thousand loaves are Itakcd daily and to do this work it requires 75 bakers ltesides the ther help. 1 he bread is hauled .i i i : awav mini me uuKorv in armv wagons in the same manner that ord wmmI is taken from the torest. There seems to Ijc a demand for teamsters and blacksmith's, and as a natter of information I will say that teamsters are paid thirty and fifty dollars jier month and blacksmith seventy-five dollas per month, toi and clothing turmsiiou. uccruiung officers have left for Penna. and fur ther information can lie obtained from them. 1 f I can aid any one to secure such a place they can address me here. Gen. Hastings and start arrived Friday night and inspected the Penna. tnstps today, iwcry one came out in their Ijest "bib ami tucker", the band played patriotic music, the soldiers kept step to a man, the horses pranced and danced, the uovcrnor siniieu ms sweetest, and bowed gracefully while the American flag flapjjcd the wind as if impatient at the delay of floating over "Morro Castle."
