Fund the Pensions In Bonds. ..
.The pensions of this government for
the year 1892 Were $139,935,613. For
the year 1893 there is Ian appropriation
‘ of $144,956,000, and 'an estimated de-
ficiency of $10,508,621 beside. From
1861 through 1892 our government paid
‘out the enormous sum of $1,418,348,- .
212 for pensions. -
These payments are a legacy of war,
truly states the Hartford Courant.
They are part of the cost of the UniOn.
Why should I the. immediate present
I bear the whole of this heavy burden,
‘ whose benefits are not for now alone,
but for by-and-by as well ? .
The country is tremendously in need
.:of currency, and the bonds on which
currency is issued have been so far
7 retired that they are scarce. There
maybe objection to issuing bonds for ’
the sole purpose of subsequently issu-.
ing currency upon them. But what
can be the objection to dividing up with
posterity our pension payments and
issuing bonds enough, for a while, any
way, to i- pay say --half the cost. We
' could put’Outvs70,000,000 to $75,000,000
of low rate gold bonds at once, and
not only relieve the present situation,
but also take so much oil from the
taxes. The banks. would be quick to -
pick up such bondsand issue currency
. against them. Indeed, the more an-
nouncement that this would be done
would vastly revive confidence andg'o
a long way to stop the present hoarding.
As soon as people see there’s'no need .
of hoarding moiiey—that‘.whether they
hoard it or not there still Will be a
plenty—then they will abandon their
foolish and dangerous policy. And they
‘ will not till then. It’s like a panic on?
a steamboat, first a free fight for life-
preservers in the fear that the boat will
sink; second, a quiet return of the life-
. preservers to their places as soon as it
' becomes evident that they are not to be
used. This pension bond issue would
relieve taxation, add to the currency
and help the whole situation from the
day it is proposed. '
Will not General Hawley, chief edi-
tor of the Courant and Our United
States Senator, introduce such a bill at
an early date, for the action of'Coné
gress ? ‘

BUT HE MAY no EPARBSIVS

Alexander Hamiltongor - Revolutionary
Fame—His_\Vlfe peerage: That He
Is In Another “fbma‘n’e Power.
I NEWIYORK, Aug. 12.—By the order of
'JusticeiDykman‘, made upon the petition
of Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Hamilton, Elihu
B.~Frost of the firm of Frost &Frost in
the Equitable building has been appoint-
ed a commissioner to examine into the
sanity of General "Alexander Hamilton,
grandson of General .lexander Hamilton
of Revolutionarv fa Mrs. ‘Hamilton,’
who is the second wifd of General Hamil-
ton, lives iu Tarrytowrfi at the present time.~ '
In'her petition for the appointment of ’a
commissioner she states that for several
years pastIher husband has been so de-
prived of his reason and understanding as
,to be altogether unfit ‘ and unable to gov-
ern himself and manage hisafiairs.
Mrs. Hamilton states further that on
May 13 of thepresent year General Hamil-
ton resided with her? at Tarrytown, and
that since that time he has left his home,
and for a long time she was unable to dis-
cover his whereabouts.
His Mind is Weak. .
The rest of the petition reads: ‘
“But your petitioner is now informed
and verily believes that he is temporarily
residing at 134 West One Hundred and
Twenty-seventh street, New,York city, in
the custody of one Mrs. Freeman, who is
no relation to the said Alexander Hamil;
ton; that the income of the said Alexan-
der Hamilton is $3,000 a year; that he has
been {suffering from Weakness of mind;
that he- has several times threatened the
life of your petitioner and also threatened
to kill himself on numerous occasions;
that he is very careless with his money
and has not contributed to the support of
your petitioner and has been spending his
money on trivial things. Said Alexander
November, 1892; that the said Mrs. Free-
man is no relative of said Alexander Ham-
ilton and has not known him, to. the
knowledge of your petitioner, prior to 1890.”
The petition of Mrs. Hamilton is reen-
forced ‘ by the affidavits of Emily 0. Bo-
dine, her sister, and Mabel 'Hamilton, the
adopted daughter. , .
In her affidavit Miss Bodine states that
she has known the general since 1878. She
recites that in the month of November,
1892, she visited her SiSfiEr, and the conduct
of her brother-in-law was so peculiar as to
command her attention. '
,On" more than one occasion he threat-
ened to take her life and also made threats
that he would kill his wife and himself.
She expresses the belief that he is in no
condition to care for himself; that he "is
childish and suffering from a disease of
the brain. _ '
Want a Guardian Appointed.
Mrs. Hamilton’s attorneys are Edward
P. Schell, A. '1‘. Elkins and Colonel Edward
James. They will ask for a. guardian to
look after Hamilton’s estate. I
The general is represented by \Yilliam
Vulmer, a partner, of Robert Ray Hamil-
ton, who was hounded to his death by the
notorious Eva Mann. Robert died on his
ranch in the west after his dual life had
been exposed. , -
According to Colonel J ames' of ‘counsel
for Mrs. Hamilton, “the general has suf-
fered from paresis for several years. It
will be insisted, if Commissioner Frost
does not show a mental incapacity on the
part of the general, that the latter has been
held from his home by the alleged machi-
nations of Mrs. Freeman. ,
Mrs. Freeman says that General Hamil-
ton came to her house to board early last'
May. He exhibited feeble health, and she
and her daughters took the old gentleman ,
to Washington to improve his physical.

“He is not. the least bit crazy,” said Mrs.
Freeman to me while talking over the ac—
tion of Mrs. Hamilton. “He was the one-
to propose the southern trip, and we cared
CommisSioner Frost will make his report
in the case within 8.0 days. Mr. Frost
thinks that while the general may bemen-
tally deranged there has been nothing
wrong in the-relations of the defendant
and Mrs. Freeman. . .
General Hamilton is stopping at th
home of his son-Rev. Alexander Hamil-
ton in Lyons Plains near Weston, and
he does not have the apperance of be-
ing insane. In an interview Thursday
night. he declared that he was being
persecuted by his wife and bedeviled by
her relatives. Mrs. Freeman is the
his wife’s anxiety to get control of his
property is her actuating motive.
“I wish to say that no matter what
may happen she-Will not get hold of m
estate. It is tied on b my father’s w' ,
which was drawn by harles O’Connor,
and she will'not get a cent. . '
I tried to efi'ect a compromise,was un-
successful andnow mean to fight to the
end. He says that he fled to'the home
of his son because he feared arrest but
is confident that he .Wlll defeat his
wife’s move. ' . ,.
The General‘s—son, Rev. Mr. Hamil-
ton, said: . . _ I .
"“ I have never .- haa anything but
words of kindness for my stepmother. ”~
“As to this action; all I have to say is I- '
that the law will decide certain ques-
tions. I do not know What her obJect
in doing this is. I have had no dis-
agreement wrth the woman. I wish to
say that I had nothingto do" with my

A dispatch from Tarrytown, says The
publication of the family trouble_be-
tween General Hamilton and his wife
was not at all unexpected in this village.
, Dr. J. Henry 'Forman, a former phy-
sician of General Hamilton, has filed
an affidavit With the petition for a com-
mission. in which he said:
"All I know in reference to General
Alexander Hamilton’s conduct being

' 'Flre'in Nichols.
The residents of Nichols who are
property owners have been thrown into
a state of intense alarm during the past
few days and it is all because a fire-bug
is lurking in their midst. Friday night
the cry' of fire again ran through the
town, and brcug t the residents to the
barn of Horace Lyon which Was in
flames. ' The fire was discovered about
8 o’clock and it had made much headwa
then. The live stock in the barn whic
consisted of several horses and a‘fe’w‘
head of cows, were gotten out in safety.
It was impossible to save the remaining.
contents of the barn which consisted of
the summer crops and farming imple-
ments. These went up .in smoke.
though the peoplewent to work with a
will it was impossibletosave the burn-
ing structure. A light wind was blow-
ing in the direction of Mr. Lyon’s resi-
dence which was a short distance away
and at one time it looked as though it
would be destroyed also. The volun-
teer Fire department, however, went to
work to save it and by wetting the roof
and sides of the building were success-
ful The loss on the barn is $2,000.
The fire was beyond a doubt the work
of an incendiary. The flames started in
a hay mow, where no one had been in
several days. * The residents’ are
thoroughly aroused and will do every-

torch is the same one that is responsible
for the blaze Thursday night, by which
Mrs. Adeline Carr’s barn was destroyed.
‘ Senator Platt on the Situation.
Senator Platt'arrived at his home in
Meriden from Washington Friday. He
will return Monday. Regarding the
situation “in Congress he said it is im-
possible to hazard a reasonable guess
when the final vote on the Silver Re-
peal bill will be reached in the House.
In the Senate he said it looked as if
the Democrats would keep on adjourn-
ing until some agreement is reached by
them as to their final action.
said he would .vote for repeal even if
he knew no other legislation would be
enacted this session, although he thinks
there-is urgent need of immediate leg-
islation after repeal. With’reference
to the 24 to 1 coinage propOsition, Mr.
Platt said that even if a silver dollar
was made equal to a gold dollar he did
not think that would be a permanent
solution to the question.
Helped Themselves to Rope.
On Friday, the. attention of- Ofiicer
Northrop was attracted to the suspicious
actions of three men, two of whom are
well known characters, and the third
one seemed to be astranger. ’lihey had"
a bag containing something which they
tried to dispose of to a peddler but
could not agree‘ upon apricc the ped-
dler ofi‘ering 35 cents and the men want-
ing 50 cents. ' They then secreted the
goods in a “hole in the wall” on Smith
street. As they did not return for‘ the.
bag it is thought that they became sue--

It has since been learned-that the bag
was filled with rope which had been
taken from the propeller wharf and be-
longed to the steamer Vulcan. The

cious Georgia watermelons, ice. col
lemonade, with side dishes too numer-
ous to mention, filled the bill of fare
and the stomachs of the veterans. .

called out a number of speakers, who
rehearsed army tales and reminiscences
of the times that tried men’s souls, as
