The anniversary of the Libby Prison tannel escape will be observed at the Ubby Prison War Museum, Wabash avenue and Fourteenth, street Chicago, Feb. 9. The Attorney General has given an opinion that the pension of a soldier of the Union cannot lawfully be attached for debt, and that such an attachment is void. A bill has bam introduced in the house by Mr. Beltshoover, of Pennsylvania, providing for the transfer of till- pension bureau from the interior to the "war de­ partment. This plan is not a new one and is revived periodically. The bill pro­ vides that the secretary of war is to per­ form all duties nnder the pension law now exercised by. the secretary of the interior. The president is to designate an army officer as commissioner of pen­ sions, with rank, pay, and allowance of a brigadier-general. The offices of the first and second deputy commissioners are abolished, and army officers of the rank of colonel are to be detailed to fill them. It is now definitely settled that the en­ campment at Indianapolis will be held during the week commencing Monday, Sept. 10. The parade is to take place on Tuesday, Sept 11th. and the business meetings begin at 10 a. m. Wednesday, Sept. 12. The arrangements for tbe en­ tertainment of visitors are making good headway and are highly commended by the commander-in-chief. Barracks are to be built, or halls provided for the free lodging of those unable to pay board. It is safe to predict that there will be no jack of anything necessary lor the com­ fort of those who attend. The Grand Army has received a vefy flattering and cordial invitation from Atlanta, Ga., to hold their encampment of 1865 in that city. The Atlanta Con­ stitution says of the scheme: "Let the Grand Army of the Republic meet in Atlanta--right here where thous­ ands of that celebrated organization participated in some of the most historic movements of the war--in Atlanta, in and around which the most desperate encounters in the long conflict between the two' armies took place. The country immediately surrounding Atlanta is the most historic of any of the battlegrounds of the war and no section of the country is as inviting for a visit of the veterans of 1861-65. , ; ; Good Shots. While we were encamped §b Harper's Ferry in September, 1862, a short time before the surrender of Gen. Miles to Stonewall Jackson of about 10,000 men, small arms, etc., orders were given that all lights must be put out at 9 p.m., as we were expecting an attack from the rebs, and did not want any signal lights shown. One night while the camp was asleep I was awakened by the boom of cannon and the whr-whr-r-r-r and sieh- eish of a shell passing over the camp. We did not know until next morning the cause of the firing. We learned a bat­ tery had seen a light in a house some three miles down the valley, and by using a glass we could see the gable end of the house knocked in and a larger opening than necessary for a window. We thought that a good shot, but saw many before the close of the war equally •as good. Again at Harper's Ferry the time Jackson had us surrounded by seven different batteries the one on London Heights opened on us. Their shells fell short and did not do any damage. One of our batteries returned fire and the third shell exploded between the wheels of their cannon and silenced it. After •Ii0 flia noKa acai/l oKojl killed 14 men. Was not that a good shot? We were paroled on the field, and transported to Chicago, where we had our first experience as skirmishing (as we called it). We went into camp at Camp Douglas, which had just been va­ cated by the rebs, and the graybacks were so thick yon eould see them crawl­ ing in the sand. In a lew days we all went skirmishing, officers and all, no matter how good a shot we made noth­ ing but boiling water would kill them. The boys know that you could kill a reb as easily as a large gray back. Between graybacks and the rations furnished by contractors,, we did not have a very pleasant time, and would rather have been in the field, which we took in the late winter and spring of 1863 in tbe Army of the Potomac, and from that time till the end of the war we saw many good and bad shots--B. B. &, O9. J,t 11th K Y. , Is This What We Fought The following paragraph is clipped from the Washington dispatches to the Chicago Inter Ocean: The House committee ob( pensions ordered a favorable report on the bill of Representative Moses to repeal that section of the revised statutes which reads: "No money on account of pension shall be paid to any person, or to the widow, children or heirs of any deceased person who in any manner vol­ untarily engaged in or abetted the late rebellion against the authority of the United States." Which means, plainly speaking, that the southern war veterans will be pen-' sioned for killing the Union soldiers. Bard to Tall Pork fnu Tomato*a. While the Brooklyn Fourteenth were in Virginia, it was noticed that where they were the enemy's pigs got scared, and that in the promiscuous state' of things thereabout, an accident would sometimes occur. by which pig was turned into'pork, and then-- "Hello, my man! where did yon get that pork?" called out the major to a soldier staggering along with something wrapped up in his shelter tent, and crimsoning tbe ground as he passed. "It isn't pork, sir; it's tomatoes; you don't know how hard it is to Itell pork from tomatoes in this country." Tbe major, a pleasant hand at a joke himself, was conquered at once, and did not preen his inquiries. Prompt Administration of ftfe* La«< After General Schenc k's arrival in Cumberland, one of hiB first decisiona was very characteristic. A secesh colonel had sold his negro to the Confederate govern­ ment, taking pay of oourse in script. The negro, employed in fortifications, managed to escape to Cumberland, where he spread himself considerably. A constable, knowing the circumstances and wishing to turn a penny, had tbe negro thrown into prison as an escaped slave. General , Schenck, hearing the fa$ts, sent for tbe parties. "By what right," he asked of the constable, "do you hold this man in prison?" "As a fugitive from service," %, "t ' "Don't you know that he «sett|tod from the service of the rebels? " "Yes, but we have a law in Maryland that covers the case general." "And I have 1. la^ upon which It can be decided. Colonel Porter, set that negro at large and put this constable in his place." The astonished snapper up of trifles was marched off to the cell lately accu- pied by his proposed victim. After being detained there precisely the same num­ ber of days he had imprisoned the poor darkey, he was set at large, fully im­ pressed with the belief that the grim visaged general had never learnt to be trifled with. * 4,• ; Pithy, Pointed and Pertinent. President Dole, of Hawaii, has aa abundance of two of the requisites for American citizenship-nerve and audacity. Feeling that Virginia is still in his%ebt Fitz Lee is said to be in the field for a Congressional nomination this fall, He would better be careful. He was defeated for the Senate by a man with no F. F. V. connections, and another defeat of that sort will effectually destroy the prestage of the Lee family, one so powerful in the Old Dominion. The Michigan Adventists are kept so busy making explanations that they are in danger of being mistaken for members of the Cleveland cabinet. The Colorado legislature should not hesitate in choosing between the advice of Gov. Waite, who has made himself the laughing stock of a continent, and that of Senators Teller and Wolcott, whose records have proven their worth and good sense. Senator Quay says of the situation: "The administration hag produced a condition of affairs which has destroyed crade, foreign and domestic, and greatly diminished the revenue, internal and from customs. y No wonder the administration objected to the figure of a naked man on one side of the Columbian medals. It feared that posterity would think it referred to the nakedness made so common among our people by the Cleveland financial and tariff policy. It must be pleasant to those who really wish to see a bridge built between New York and Jersey city to see the question used as a weapon in the Hill-Cleveland combat. It also gives the country an opportunity to size up the Democratic idea of statesmanship. Jerry Simpson says he- has finally made up bis mind to again be a candi­ date for Congress. We trust that his constituents will by November have fully made up their minds to elect Jerry to stay at home. Congressman Tom Johnson, although a professed free trader, acts on the short but comprehensive platform--protect my interests, never mind the rest. Tbe Democratic party has bosses apd sub-jaoeses in profusion, but it has no leader, either in or out of Congress. The administration will find all the trouble it can handle on account of that bond issue. That wing of the Democrat­ ic party that is tinged with Populist ideas is flapping wildly, and seems deter­ mined to either destroy itself or the ad­ ministration. It looks as though the free traders bad got a good grip upon the Democratic majority in the House. A million Americans a& for work and the Democrats of tbe House offer them the Cleveland tariff bill. For indifference to suffering this discounts the stone given for bread about one thousand per cent. The unemployed expect better treatment from the Senate. If Senator Vorhees will heed the an swers the Senate finance committee will receive to the questions contained Hi that circular letter, 60,000 copies of which have been Bent out, he will join m baling the Cleveland tariff bill. The starting of a few idle mills with a reduction of force and wages may be in the eyes of Democratic signs of a resump- tian of prosperity, but they are not the kind of signs the country has been given by Republican legislation. Why should Congress pass a bill re­ pealing the very sensible law which for­ bids an American official accepting deco­ rations tendered by foreign governments? Does the present generation care more for these baubles than our sturdy fore­ fathers did? We cannot believe it, al­ though there are indications in some quarters that it does.

Mrs. Bridget Sullivan, whojjvas com mitted to the Ludlow street jail by Sur­ rogate Ransom for refusing to give up a bankbook which belongs to the estate of Michael Adams, would not see reporters. "Jjpst tell them that this little matter needn't worry them," she told the keeper. "I'm all right." "She seems to be very chipper," said the keeper. "She brought a bundle of things with her from her home and spends most of her time reading." There is neither reason nor philosophy in this matter, nothing but sheer stub­ bornness. Mrs. Sullivan won't give up the bankbook, because she says that Adams owed her some money. Her law yer told her that the bankbook would not help her and advised her to give it up, the surrogate advised her to give It up, and the counsel for the estate begged her to give it up, but--she--will--not-- give--it--up--if--she--dies--for--it. Be­ fore she went to jail Mrs. Sullivan said "Well, I'll stay there all winter if they want me to. Then I won't have to cook any meals or bother about housework, Her husband called to see her, but did not seem to be anxious that she should cofne out.--New York Times. Bavaria's Condition Unendurable. In the lower house of the diet at Mu­ nich Prince Loewenstein read a declara­ tion dwelling upon the immense burdens imposed by the military administration, which undoubtedly brought prejudice to the national prosperity. The present sit­ uation, he said, was almost unendurable, and the existing system was all the sad­ der as no guarantee could be given against further larger demands upon the people in view of the keen competition between European nations in making war preparations. The prince advocated an international court of arbitration as the sole means of salvation from the present situation. Dr. Buhl, however, contended that the best security for Eu­ ropean peace was the maintenance of the preparedness of the army and the true observance of faithful alliances.--Lon­ don Standard. ' Iffadoa Streets. • The chief engineer of the London Gas company has found that in some streets the pavement of wood blocks laid on concrete now forms a kind'of arch capa­ ble of supporting traffic, while in many places the earth has settled away.to such an extent that a man can crawl nnder the pavement. This is made a serious matter by the fact that the space be­ tween the soil and the concrete proves to be filled by a mixture of gas from leaky mains and air--a mixture very liable to reach explosive proportions and to be ac­ cidentally ignited , when the street might be blowtf into the air.--London Gkfoe.

He was re­ turning from school on Wednesday aft­ ernoon about 2 o'clock, and at the cor­ ner of Henry aad Pike streets was knocked down and injured by a pa--fay track. An ambulance was summoned, and the surgeons diagnosed the case M cerebral hemorrhage. He was removed to the hospital, and a more thorough ia» vestigation was made by House Surgeon JamaL Dr. Jamal disoovered that the nedc- was broken just beiow the base of oar skull, which was slightly fractured, and that the lobe of the right ear was split. He and two assistants began wok on the boy, who was then unconscious, and made a plastic coat which covered tbe body from the waist to the top of the head, leaving only the face visible. The plaster cast makes it impossible for the boy to move the upper part ofhifl body at all. and the respiration is laboced and uneven.
