THE CENSUS REPORT.
Work is Still }rogressing on the Big
Statistical Job.
The annual report of Supt. Robert P.
Porter of the census bureau was submitted
to the secretary of the interior at Washing-
ton. Thedisbursementofthe bureau dur-
ing the past year amounted to £9,468 582. The
1otal number of clerks now engaged in the
cen: us work is 1,050. Eight regular bulle-
tins have been issued and 14.500 pages of
matter relating to the census printed. A
special report on irrigation has been
pleted and is being pr pared for publica-
lion. The total number of mortgages in the
United States is shown to be 4,293,461.
Supt. Porter concludes his report thus:
“While some of the work has not come
quite up to the standard we had hoped to
attain, for reasons entirely out of the control
of those in charge of it.it ean be truthfully
said of the eleventh census that there has
been no absolute failure in any particular.
Everything undertaken will be completed,
though in some cases with less detail than
originally planned.”

A WARSHIP LOST.
The Russian Pousalka, With Ten Ofi-
cers and 150 Seamen, Founders
Off Hel ngsport.
Fragments of woodwork, coats and other
wreckage have floated ashore in the Gulf of
Finla d, showing that the Russian war-
ship Pousalka with ten officers and 150
seamen had foundered and that all hands
are lost.
The Pousalka sailed on Tuesday {from
Revel, Gulf of Finland, for Helingsport on
the same Gulf and has not been heard from
since. The Pousalka had four inches of
armor, carried four nine inch guns, was of
2,000 displacement. had 786 indicated horse
power and was classed as having a speed of
eighteen knots. She was built in 1357.
The body of a sailor, who is supposed to
have belonged to the crew, has been washed
ashore in the Gulf of Finland, and it is
known that severe gales swept over those
waters soon after she left port. There is no
doubt, as the admiralty state, that the Pou-
salka has foundered.

THE PENSION BUREAU.
Commissioner Lochren’s Report on Its
Dealings With Old Soldie.s.
Pension Commissioner Lochren submit-
ted his annua! report to the secretary of the
interior at Washington. The number of
pensioners on the rolls of the bureau 1s
966,012, with a net increase of 839,944 during
the past year. Duringihe year 24,715 claims
for increase of pension and 31,99) for addi-
tional pension under the act of June 37.1830
were ailowed. In the same time 115221
claims for pensions and for increase were
rejected. The claims pending consideration
on July 7 numbered 711,150. The amount
of money paid for pensions during the year
was ¥#156,740.467 and 1he ba'ance at the close
of the year was £2,437.371. The appropria-
tions for the next fiscal y ear, Commissioner
Lochren states, will be ample, and the esti-
mates for the fiscal year 18U5 amount to
¥162,631,570.
The commissioner devotes considerable
space to cases under the act of June 27,189),
in which he says: “Under this act, aside
from 1 he requisite service and honorable
discharge there is one cond.tion that can
give any right to pension—viz.,'A mental or
physical disability of a permanent charact-
er. not the result of their own vicious
habits, which incapacitates them from the
performance of manual labor in such a de-
support.’ 7’ But by order 164 issued October
15, 1890, the commissioner, with the ap-
proval of the assistant secretary, directed
that specific disabilities should be rated, in
applications under this act, as they would
have been rated under the schedules then in
force, if of service origin, up to $12 per
month. Itis perfectly clear that under this
order 164, in granting pensions under this
act of Jnne 27, 1800, the act itself was set
aside and disregarued, with the result of
granting pensions not authorized by any
law. ‘This was shown in the Bennett case.
which called your attention to this order
and to the practice under it. There the
claimant applying under this act of June 27,
1890, was pensioned at $12 per month for
slight deafness. not of service origin. This
slight deafness, could not therefore.interfere
with his capacity to pertorm manual labor.
And such a pension has no warrant to
sustain itin any law. It is absolutely void.
“The statement of the medical referee
made it appear probable that under order 164
many pensions were illegallygranted and per
suent to your order of May 27, 1893, a board
of revision was formed, of the ablest and
most experienced men of the bureau, to
examine the cases allowed under that act,
but with {instructions to disturb no case
where by the most liberal construction of
the evidence the right to the pension could
be sustained under any law. In cases where
it was believed that the pension could not
be sustained and another medical examina-
tion was thought necessary, the payment of
the pension was ordered to be suspended
rending investigation. according to the rrac-
tice of the bureau from the beginning. Upon
your suggestion that even this temporary
with-holding might work hardship where,
upon the face of the papers, it appears the
pensioner is entitled to some less pension
the practice has been modified and changed
as to the cases under this act so far that sus:
pension of payment pending the sixty days
are only ordered when on the [face of the
papeis 1t appears prima facie that the pen-
sioner is not entitled to any pension. It is
certain that there are many cases like the
Bennett case, where persons are not entitled
to any pension will be removed irom the
rolls, but the work has ;not yet proceeded
far enough to enable me to forecast the re-
result. Undoubtedly under the system of
adjudication which followed the promul-
gation of order 164 many persons pertectly
able to perform manual larbor, under the
persuasion of claim agents familiar with the
effect of that order. applied for and received
pensions for specific disabilities not of serv-
ice origin and not proper pensionable under
the act of June, 1890, This also accounts for
the large proportion of late claims under
that act, comprising the aftermath in the
work of claim agents which are now being
properly re ected. The sixty-day notice in
suspending pensioners, the report says, was
not withdrawing the pension, fbut tempor-
arily withho ding it, where it appeared to
be unlawtul, pending inquiry.
The commissioner recommends codifi-
cation of pension laws, with a few changes,
that promotions be made with regard to
m- rit alone and in utter disregard of in-
fluence, and rep-al of the act of congress
providing that no pension shall be paid toa
non-resident who is not a citizen of the
United States except for actual disabilities
incurred in the service. He concludes as
foliows: ‘I recognize to the fullest extent
that my sole duty is to execute and adminis-
ter the laws as they are enacted—fairly and
honestly interpreted.

THE CROPS AND WEATHER.
Interesting Bulletin Issued By the
Government Weather Bureau.
The temperature during the past week
as been much above the normal all over
L.e country east of the Rocky mountains,
excepton the Atlantic coast north from
Massachusetts. In Nevada, California, Ore-
gon and Montana the weather was cool.
The rainfall was unusually heavy in most
parts of the eastern and middle states.
In the Ohio valley and Atlantic coast
states the rains this and the preceding week
have greatly improved pastures, and
have put the ground in good condition for
fall plowing, which is progressing rapidly
in the states named, fall seeding being about
completed in New Jersey and New York.
Corn cutting has been completed in
Michigan and is progressing rapidly else-
where. The crop is now generally regarded
as safe from injury by frost.
Cotton picking will be general during the
coming week in North Carolina, and con-
tinues elsewhere. The reports as to this
crop are generally unfavorable.

to First Sergeant. He became successively
Second and First Lieutenants, and then Cap-
tain, which rank he held at the close of the
war.
He was engaged in every battle of the
Army of the Potomac in which his regiment
took part. At Fredericksburg Captain Ad-
ams saved the colors of his regiment from
capture. Ho was twice severely wounded in
the second day's fight at Gettysburz, but
after a short leave of absence and before he
had recovered from his wounds he rejoined

by the Confederates. For nine months he
was a prisoner of war.
After the war for ten years he was foreman
for a firm of shoe manufacturers in Lynn.
Following that he became an Inspector in
the Boston Custom House, resigning after
fifteen months’ service and accepting the
position of Postmaster at Lynn. For eight
years he filled that position, resigning to be-
come Deputy Warden of the State Reforma-
tory at Concord.
He was the first recruit mustered into Post
5, and has be=n Department Commander for
one year, was twelve times delegate to the
National Convention of the Order, and has
been President of the Association of the Sur-
vivers of Confederate Prisons for the last
sgven years. In 1868 he was chosen by the
Electoral College of Massachusetts as mes-
senger to carry the Electoral vote of the
State to the National Capital on the first
election of Grant to the Presidency.
He was elected Sergeant-at-Arms of the
Legislature in 1835, and has been re-elected
from year to year ever since. His salary is
%3000. He has the appointment of about
forty messengers, doorkeepers and other
ssistants.
MANY PERISH ON THE PRAIRIE.
A Black Wast> as Far as the Eye Can
Reach. Charred Bodies of Human
Beings and Animals Found.
The scene of the recent terrible prairie
fires on the Pawnee reservation, O. T., is
one of devastation. Scattered all over the
praire are partly burned wagons, wrecked
camp outfits and the charred remains of
household good, and here and there the
body of a horse.
For miles and miles as far as the eye can
reach, itis a black waste, and to add to the
horror of it all, in a number of places are
found blackened and burned human trunks.
Nearly a dozen of these bodies have been
found and it is feared that many have per-

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
EIGHT LYNCHERS KILLED.
They Were Seeking The Life of a Mur-
derous Negro, and Who Was
Lynched Laer.
At Roanoke, Va., Robert Smith, a negro,
on Wednesday assauited and nearly killed
Mrs. Henry Bishop, wifeof a well-to do
farmer of Botetourt county. Mrs. Bishop
was at the market witha load of produce
and Smith bought a box of grapes, He ask-
ed her to go with him to get the money, and
taking her to a house nearby locked the
door and bound her. Then, drawing a razor
he demanded her money. She gaye it up
and while doing so jerked the razor from
his hand, The negro choked her, threw her
down and pounded her head with a brick,
leaving her for dead. Mrs. Bishop shortly
afterward regained consciousness. and.
returning to the market, told of the outrage.
Detective Baldwin soon arrested the negro.
The excited crowd attempted to take Smith
away from the officer and lynch him, but
Baldwin with the prisoner on a horse dash-
ed at full speed in face of the crowd and
soon had hi mbehind the bars. An immense
crowd gathered around the jail and kept
ner easing as night approached. ;
At 5 o'clock the Roanoke Light Infantry
marched to the jail by orders of Mayor
Trout. Guards were posted and the streets
in the immediate vicinity cleared. About
dark the crowd increased by a bundred
men from near the woman’s home, headed
by Mr. Bishop's son, a fireman on the Nor-
folk and Western railroad. At 8 o'clock
portions of the mob battered in the side
door of the jail, where the militia and
Mayor Trout had retired. Then shooting
was commenced by the mob,and the mayor
was shot in the foot. The militia were or-
dered to return the fire and a voiley from
about 25 rifles was pour d into the mob.
Eight men were killed vy this fire and more
than that number wounded, some of them
fatally.
During the excitement caused by the vol-
ley the negro was taken from the jail by
an officer and secreted.
The militia remain under the mayor's
orders, although it is prcbable that they
will not be called out again. Mayor Trout is
firm in the position he has taken and de-
clares that he will uphold the law.
The following is a list of the dead and in-
jured:

WhileJ. Allen Wu ts, Judge Woods and
others were endeavoring to quiet the
crowd, Sergr. Griflin and two officers took
the negro from the jail into the woods. To-
wards daylight tiey were notified that
squads of men were scouring the entire
adjacent country and they thought it best
to tase their rrisoner back to jail. They were
proceeding along tue Franklin road, near
Tenth avenue, when a squad of men, ahout
20 in number rushed upon them and seizad
the prisoner. With shouts and yells the
determined men rashed the negro to the
nearest tree, where he was hanged to a
hickory limb, his body riddled with bullets
and horribly mangled. It was all aver by
5 o'clock and the small body of men who
had done the work had dispersed.

The first section had stopped for water,
and the second section, following too
closely, could not be flagged in time. The
wreck of the rear car was thrown high in
the air, falling back upon the engine. The
terrible impact forced the forward sleep:r
into the rear end of the day coach just
ahead. The coach was tilled with sleeping
passengers and the scene which issued was
one of indescribable horror. The engine
ploughed its dreadful way literally through
the bodies of Sleeping men and woman.
Blood besmeared the iron and wood of the
shattered cars and in the darkness the aw-
ful screams of the injured and dying min-
gled with the hiss of the steam from the
torn and twisted boiler. The passengers in
the rear train escaped with nothing more
than a severe shaking up.
PENSION BUREAU WORK.
Suspended Pension Cases to Be Disposed
of by October 10.
At Washington an official s atement of
the Pension Bureau shows that the total
number of pensions granted since March 4,
1893 is 55,399. Of these 4.128 were issued
since August 26, of which 1,712 were origi-
nal and 1,497 increases. Of the original
pensions granted 326 were for disabi ities
contracted in the service and in the line of
duty and 316 under the act of June 27,1890.
The Board of Revision disposes each week
of about 1,600 cases of those suspended
under a recent order of the Bureau. With
this average a week it is estimated tha$ all
cases heretofore suspended will be disposed
of by October 10. Probably 75 per cent of
these cases will be returned to the rolls,
though in many cases the rates will be
changed.
