Widows of soldiers who contracted disability In the service and line ei duty are entitled to pension if the dis­ ease or disability which caused the soldiers' death can be traced to hU mil itary service whether the soldier drew a pension er not. Commissioner John C. Black has been sued for 9100,000 damages by Captain Oscar Dunlap. Captain Dan- lap claims that tbe commissioner ma­ liciously withholds a pension of #72 a month to which he Is entitled under the act of 1880, bis injuries being the loss ef a hand and foot and * fcaotare of the skull. <» Tbe Ohio Department, Grand A1rmy of tbe Republic, lu reports for tbe quarter ending September 30th, 1888, shows the following Interesting facte: number in good atandiog last report, 41.384; gain by muster-in 2.796; gain by transfer 230; gain by reinstate ment 680, total galu 3.708; aggregate 43,092. Loss by honorabe discharge 16; Loss by death 127; loss by transfer 204 ; loss by suspension 1,101; total loss 1,449 remaining in geod standing 43,643. Widows ot soldlersjn the lat? war who have remaiued single alnoe the soldiers' death can apply for and ob­ tain a pension of eight dollars per month from tbe date of said death up to March 1886; after which time they can get twelve dollars per month until such time as they remarry; provided aiwajs that the disease of which the soldier died was contracted during his military service and Jseld petastoo has not.already been paid. A verdict awarding #15,0W dollars damaees for the lesa of a leg has been handed down in tbe supreme court to Sidney Marion, aged 14, by guardian, against the Brooklyn elevated-Railroad Company on June 11th. He was try­ ing to board the $rala and fell between fhecan aad Va fcf wta that It bad to be amputated. The suit was fer $50,000; recovered 815,000, Now aaetdter who had his leg shot off in defence of his country, it entitled to thirty dollars a month or three hun­ dred end sixty dollan&a year. That pension dribbled|)at tp the soldier at that rate per yiar ,would take about ferty-twe years to receive the nam ef fifteen thoarand dollars. The interest at six per cent on fifteen* thousand dollars would be nine hundred dollars a year er seventy-five dollars per month, vWi the peer soldier who tost his leg in the line of duty doing all la his pewer to save his country, lis getting bnt thirty dollars per month. And yet there are some who think the soldier gets too nsuoh. We some­ times think It a greet pity that the hoys of *61 were patriotic enough te go and fight for tbe salvation of the coun­ try. But they went and tone people would be greatly rejoloed if they would all hurry up and die. Such soul- less Individuals ought no# te have a oountry. r • Wluktt " What will the inooming administra­ tion de fer the soldiers Mi a question that thousands of Indigent and decrepit veterans are asking themselves and eaeh other. And what is the eutlook? Certainly better than heretofore. The new administra­ tion will oome into pewer backed by a majority in beth houses of Congress, and it Is likely that any just and equi­ table pension bill will not fall of pas­ sage in Congress, and if passed there is little fear that Harrison, who was elected by tbe soldier vote, will veto any good measure. We do net mean, te be understood to Insinuate that Pesident-eleot Harrison would sign any measure as a reward for party fealty, tyut on the contrary we believe that he would be guided by hit sense of the justice and right of any bill of- ferred him by Congress fer signature. But justice and right are on tbe side of tbe soldier and only those blinded by partisan bias can not see it. A large class of veterans have for twenty-five years been denied the pay ment of the just debt the government o«res them, It it time the wrong was righted, and every man who bore arms in tbe great struggle for the preserver tion of the Unloo will watch with an: lous eyes the doings of our National^ lawmakers during the oomlng four years--Cbmrade S.

McKenzle, per­ formed the signal act of heroism at Altoena, none ef which exactly coin* oldes with a detailed statement of the a ase as given te me by tbe hero him­ self. I had been especially intimate with him for many years. Net one word had ever fallen from his lips rel­ ative te this matter to my knowledge. One day, learning Incidentally from another of his connection with "Hold the Fort, for I am coming," I took oc­ casion to ask him abbot It. He seemed al first reluctant to tell me, but I pressed him, and this is substantially his own account of it. After describing the situation of the armies at Altoena and Kenesaw, he said: « "General Sherman's signal corps had been trying to send dlspatobes from Kenesaw to General Corse. We could read the dispatches with oar tele­ scopes, but could not receive or an­ swer them back, because the rebel shot were so thick. The rebels had also a lot ef sharp-shooters posted watching our squad, and every time a man would show himself ttey would pick him off. At this time General Corse came up and said, 'who is in command here?' Our captain was absent and I was In charge ef tbe squad, and I replied, am sir.' The geaeral then asked If a message oould be sent to General Sher­ man in answer to his, 'to hold the fort for he was coming* just read. I re­ plied tbat It could be If absolutely necessary. Gen Corse then wrote out the message and hiuided It to} me. it read as follows: To GENSEAL SHBRMAN --I am short a cheek-booe and one ear, bnt can whip bell out of them yet. GBRBHAL COR8K. "I took It end the signal flag and called for a volunteer from my little squad. No man responded. I then of­ fered the flag-staff to oaoh man and asked him If he would volunteer and each declined. I then thought 1 would detail odb, but my brother Tom was In the squad, and the thought struck me tbat If I detailed another bat him they would at once say * partiality.' If I detailed him and he was shot 1 could never forgive myself, and It seemed like certain death for any one to undertake it. At this moment of hesitation the General, seeing no man going forward said te me firmly. Lieu­ tenant, I thought you said this mes­ sage OMld be seat P I replied, 'it can* aod without farther delay I meuated the signal station and comaeneed sending the message, expecting to be shot, Th® flag was about eighteen feet lOlg, mud tuv wSau wiw blOtilg ^0!Me and I. foaatl It to be v*ry hard enemy began to fines htife He ts and fronted them tqaartly and out as load as he confd: ' Fire away boys; I've etgy one die, and might as well die now as time.' By the time he said this ceased firing at him; he a looklne at tnem. He watch! abort time, then turnidendl lot of blankets; also Some tracts that bad been dropped and when he came back he distributed them alog the line saying: "Beys, she blankets will do you a great deal mere good than Hejr wltt dead men. You can read thMsi treetti't perhaps they may do yea tome geed also." Then be lay dOwn In his plane. * He served out the remainder ef ?|i| time, and I believe was in all the en­ gagements the regiment was lo nfter that, never receiving a scratch. - He was discharged wnen his time ex­ pired, and arrived at his heme, where he died a tew days afterward. 8.S.
