William Snyder, the saloonkeeper and Undertaker, and One of His Soardtrs Charged With Being kecpontlble For the Injuries of the Deceased.' Thomas Tomalonls, of South Jardln street, died at the Mlneri' hospital on Sunday night f rum the effects of a beating alleged to have been administered by William Snyder, tbc saloonkeeper and undertaker of the First ward, ami SItnon Karparwtts, in the former's saloon on the night of December 18th, last. The deceased was 38 ears of age and leaves a wife and three children, who live on South Jardln street. Snyder and Karpatwltct are nnder f 1,000 bail, each, for the assault, but will no doubt bo re-arrested and held on a charge of mur der. Justice Lawlor, before whom the men gave bail, is awaiting instructions from the District Attorney, who lias beau notified. Under Instructions from Coroner Marshal, of Ashland, Dr. J. C. Blddle made a post mortem examination of the remains last night and found t hot death was caused by an abscess on the brain, due to a fracture of the bkull. The widow claimed the remains this morning and they Were brought to town this afternoon. Deputy Coroner Mauley will make arrangements to hold an inquest. Dr. Iiidillo says that when Tomalonls was admitted to the hospital tho patient was in a very delirious condition. Examination showed that both tho inner and outer tables of his skull wero fractured, but an operation of trephining reliored tho pressure on the brain and the patient seemed to steadily improvo until last Thursday, when he commenced to sink rapidly. According to the faoto gleaned hero Tonia lonis, on the night of December 10th last, ap peared before Justice Lawlor and asked for a warrant fur the arrest of some one he said had beaten him. Tomalonie aeted in a manner that indicted an advanced stage of intoxica tion. He was boisterous and incoherent and the Justiee told him to go home and call at the ollico the following day to mako com plaint. Tomalonls mado his way to tho office of Chief Hurgoss ISurns and was takcn.home by that official and Dr. W. N. Stein. The latter attended the victim from time to time until Dec. 31st, when Tomalonls became delirious. The wife thon called on Jnstico Lawlor and upon hor statement of tho story told her by her husband when ho reached home Snyder and his hoarder were arrested. Tomalonls continued to grow worse and on January 2nd, last, ho was removed to the Miners' hospital. in order that ho might receive the care of trained nurses. According to tho statement of Mrs. Toma louig, her husband said that whlto he was iu Snyder's saloon Snyder beat him on tho head with a stove rakor and KarparwitE, tho boardor, joined in tho assault. Snydor and Karparwitz admitted having had a difficulty with Tonialouis on the ninlit in question, but alleged that tho victim got lutoa second row that night iu another place and with othor parties, aud it must have bceu in that difficulty that he received his In juries. They have failed thus far, however, to give any details as to the nlleged tecond assault. An Old l'uvoiltc.

HAKIM, lownilt iu NLtt IIIUK ftOYAl THE PENSION BILL VETOES I Cleveland Declines to Sanction reasonable Legislation." 'Un- REMARRIED WIDOWS BENEFITED By Bpeolal Bills, Though They Are Wo Longer the Widows of Deceased Soldlere-The President Take Occasion to Sound a Note of Warning. Wa-.hl!iBfn, Feb. 23. The president jroHtfi liny l, 'turned to the house with out lil.s uppioval bills pensioning Mrs. JUiuy A. Veil and Mrs. Mary A. Free in an. In the cnae of Mra Veil the veto message says that the widow of Major W. D. ganger having remarried, shp Inns ago by her own deliberate ait nun cnilei ed a right to draw pen sion us the widow of Major Sanger. A further objection is that it is not shown that the death of the first hus band was due to injuries received in his army service. Neither he or his widow, while she remained such, pre sented any claim for pension. Mrs. Freeman was pensioned aa the widow of Andrew V. Pritchard, who served in the war with Mexico and died from disease contracted in the sei vice. She continued to receive this pension until she married John Free man. It is now proposed to restore her to the pension roll as the widow of her first husband. "I am not willing," says the president, "even by Inaction, to be charged with acquiescence In what appears to be such an entire de parture from the principle as well as sentiment connected with reasonable I pension legislation." in vetoing the um granting a pen sion to Maria Somerlat the president sums up his general objections to the kind of pension legislation which has been enacted by the present congress. Mrs. Somerlat was pensioned In 1867 as a widow. In 18S1 she married again, when her pension was stopped, but be ing divorced from her second husband It is proposed to pension her again. The president says: "The rule governing the operation of General pension laws, which forfeits a widow's pension on her remarriage, seems so reasonable and Just, and its relaxation must necessarily lead to such a departure from Just principles and to such vexatious pension admin istration, that I am convinced It ought to be strictly maintained. "I hope I may be permitted to call the attention of the senate to the In creasing latitude clearly dlBcernable In special pension legislation. It has seemed to me so useless to attempt to stem the tide .of this legislation by ex ecutive Interference that I have con tented myself with non-acquiescence In numerous cases where I could not approve. "There have been already presented to me for executive action during the present session of the congress 20G special pension bills, of which I have actually examined 11R. The entire number of such bills that have becojiie laws during the four sessions of the congress since March 4, 1803, Is 391. Some of these at the present session are not based upon the least pretext that the death or disability Involved Is related to army service, while In numerous cases It is extremely diffi cult to satisfactorily discover such re lationship. "There Is one feature of this legis lation which I am sure deserves at tention. I refer to the great number of special bills passed for the purpose of Increasing the pensions of those al ready on the rolls. Of the 116 special pension bills which I have examined since the beginning of the present ses sion of the congress 68 granted or re stored pensions and 67 Increased those already existing, while the appropria tion of money necessary to meet these Increases alone exceeds considerably the amount required to pay the origi nal pensions granted or restored by the remaining 68 bills. "I cannot discover that these In creases are regulated by any rule or principle, and when we remember that there are nearly a million iiensloners on the rolls, and consider the impor tunity for such increase that must fol low the precedents already made, the relation of the subject to a justifiable increase of our national revenues can not escape attention." llualinell Will Not Oppose Hnnna. Springfield, O., Feb. 23. Tbe Daily Gazette of this city. Governor Bush neli's personal organ, which foreshad owed Hanna's appointment to the sen ate, comes out in another editorial on tbe matter which shows that the gov ernor has for the time being- thrown away political ambition as far as the United States senate is concerned.
