Two Years Ago ttio Satchels and Trunk Were Loft With the Hoarding Mouse Itoepor by the Owner,' Who Then lft for Tnrts Unknown. Chicago, Sept 81. Two satchels nnd u largo trunk filled with dynamite bombs wore discovered by the police hero Saturday night in the rooms of an anarchist in a four-story brick building at the corner of Oak and Scdgewick streets. The anarchist has not been seen in Chicago for two years, but ho left his baggage behind htm and It was never opened until Sunday. Two years ago an anarchist named Bcstmau lived in the Sedgcwick street house and went away to go to Texas. Ho owed six mouths' rent on leaving, and told the landlady that he would leave ,hls trunk which contained valu ables. Ever since the trunk, together with two satchels, have been stored away and left unmolested In a closet of the room. In fact it had been forgotten until Sunday even ing, when the landlady went Into the closet looking for another trunk which contained some winter clothing which she wished to got. In searching for tho clothing sho came across the trunk licit by the anarchist, which sho had entirely forgotten. It was brought out, and with tho aid of a hatchet the lock wus broken and tho trunk opened. On top of the contents of the trunk were a few cjothes. These being removed, a trunkful of dynamite was displayed. The womun was very much frightened and at once notified the police. In the satchels were found several letters written by Parsons and one or two of tho other anarchists who wcro execut ed. Tho whereabouts of tho owner of the trunk is not known.

Toledo, O., Sept 21.t The fact was learned Sundoy thot a brutal whlte caplng occurred within a few miles of Toledo ten days ago, but tho region in which tho outrage took placo is so terror stricken that no onp dared to carry any word to tho authorities until Sunday, morning. A farmer named Huntsman living near Holland, in this couuty, was tho victim. His two children wore returning from Holland on September 0, when two men overtook them and accused them of finding and secreting a pockctbook containing SSO. This was denied and the children were searched without findlng'tho bookl Tho same men went to Huntsman's house that night and again insisted that tho book was in tho possession of tho family. They finally went away, threatening all sorts of vengeance. The following night a band of a dozen or more men took Huntsman from his bed and boat him outrageously. That dono he was strung up for a few moments to a tree. Ho was then lowered again, beaten and partially buried. He was then given a chance to make a statement and on claiming to be Innocent, ho was hung up by the heels and again burled. He was then notified to leave tho country within 13 hours or die. The poor man's jaw was broken and ho was frightfully bruised, but his fear was so great that he and his family re mained in the woods without food or medical attention or the two follow ing dnys I'lro at Travorso Cltr.

It Shows That 40,874 New Pension ers Were Added During the Year. Whole Number of Pensioners ou tho Ilolls Jane 30, 1800, 970,078-Applications ' Refused DrirlnK the. Yeaf jJWero 07,880, Principally Jncrensefc' Wasuinqton, Sopt BL Commission er of. Pppsions Dominie has tu,bmlttcd to the secretary of tho interior his an nual report on tho operations of tho pension bureau for the fiscal year ended June St, 1890, showing that 40, 371 new pensioners wero added, 8,823 restored who had been previously drop ped, making a total of 44,217; tho losses for various reasons, aggregating 44,003. Tho whole number of pension ers on tlio rolls Juno 30, 1800, was 070, 078. 1 ho commissioner states that it may now bo safely assumed that tho roll from this time on will show a steady diminution unless congress should enact still more liberal provis ions. The rate of mortality of pen sioners, particularly those who berved through the war of tho rebellion, Is rapidly increasing. Disallowances of pensions during tho year amounted to 97,2S0, most of whom being applications for increases. Tho amount disbursed wn'sS138,214,000, adccrcabc of 81,502.000. Upon assuming charge of tho bureau tho commissioner directed that prefer ences bo given original applicants, giv ing second place to those whose names wero already on the rolls, and who are additional pensioners. The office busi ness has greatly increased in corre spondence, which dcl-ys the settle ment of claims, as it requires a largo clerical force to answer inquiries. The amount appropriated for pen sions payments 8140,000,000 was found to be more than sufficient. There was at the close of tho fiscal year an unex pended balance of SI, 700,000. The commissioner adopts tho esti mates of his predecessors for 1808, namely 8140,000.000 for pensions and S1.32S.000 for other expenses. Thepaymcntrof pensioners in check, the commissioner thinks, is better than payment in person. In regard to pen sions payablo in Germany, the stoto department has been asked for Infot m ation as to whether If anybody other than a United States consul can admin ister.oaths in such cases. Instructions are now being proparcd by tho medical referee which will in sure to every pension applicant tho benefit of the judgment and experi ence of three members of the board of surgeons, except where a claimant ex pressly waves his right and agrees to an examination by a less number. It is intended to detail experts from this division to visit and instruct the 1,2S5 boards in the country ns to uniformity of examination in the construction of medical certificates and to prevent er rors in rating. Tho act of January 5, 1893, increas ing Mexican veterans' pensions from ?S to 812 whose names wero then on the roll does not, the commissioner jays, make any provision for the pen sion ot others whose names might bo subsequently recorded, and he recom mends that the 812 increase be granted to all Mexican survivors who are total ly disabled nnd in destitute circum stances. The commissioner also calls atten tion to the fact that there is no statute providing a pension to the widows of the officers who died from causes ori ginating in the service prior to March 1, lfaOl, during tho time of peace. This ho thinks, is an inequality in the law ivhich should bo remedied by congres sional action. The commissioner strongly fa.vors the bill now before :ongress entitled an act to codify and irrancii the laws relating to pensions. SHOT AND CREMATED. A MlstlsslppI Man, Who Maltreated a Woman, Lynched. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 21. At Slay len's Crossing, Miss , between Lamar, Miss . and Grand Junction, Tenn., Walter Brown, a young Negro, was shot to death and then burned. Ho made a murderous assault upon Mrs. Slayden, postmistress, aged 73, late Saturday evening. Brown dunned Mrs. Slayden for a small sum of raonoy svhich sho is supDosed to have owed Uim. Sho told him to look in a bureau imvyer nud get it. Finding S10 in tho Irawer, tho Negro struck tho woman an tho head with a bludgeon, fractur ing her scull. Ho at once fled, taking the money with him. ills victim was discovered shortly after, almost unconscious. She managed to t elate the bbry of tho as sault. Three different parties wero at once organized, some of tho members being solore'd men, and the pursuit began. At an early hour Sunday morning Brown was captured near Grand Junc tion and taken bock to the scenes of the crime, whore ho was promptly Identi fied.

The opinion of Assistant City Solicitor Phillips, of Cleveland, to the effect that tho new clause in the election law prohibiting judges and clerks from helping illiter ate voters to mark tholr tickets Is un constitutional ntid need not bo obeyed by the election boards, is not likely to be followed. State Supervisor Samuel M. Taylor says: "I have the power to remove mem bers of county election boards who vio late the law and my instructions. The law must be enforced. It is not for me or any election officer to say whether the law is or is not constitu tional. That Is the sole business of tho courts. If nn election board dis regards the law, I will remove the board." Because of tho anomalies of the elec tion laws the state supervisor has con trol over county, but not city, boards, with ono or two exceptions. But oven In c'tles tho election officers are direct ly amenable to the law, which they must follow even if the boards which appoint them instruct them to disre gard the law. An election officer who should help a voter mark his ticket, whether ordered to do so or not by tho board, would bo liable to fine and im prisonment. John L. II.

At 10 o'clock Monday morning all was quiet ' here succeding tho terrible events of the early morning. The streets are thronged, however, but there arc no new outrages. It is at this hour charged that the lawnessness Sunday night was duo to a mob of strikers, principally from the Couer d'Aline who have long been breeding trouble in Leadville, and who, seeing that the strike was nearing nn end, were de termined to make a final stroke. This assertion is largely made by the peace able miners of the camp. Early Sun day night there was every evidence that tho strike was broken. The urstr attack was made on. the Coronado. which was blown up. The memberaofthe mob, which numbered not over fitty persons, then went to tho Emmett. Hero they wero re pulsed.

Early Monday morning a lawless mob gathered around tho Emmett, ft little after the attack was made on th. Coronado, the men at tho Emmett were reaJy for attack and when the crowd appeared they fired such n volley of, bullets into them that they found it unsafe to go farther In their nefarious work. None of their members wero killed, but Jerry Mahoney, a miner living' near the Resurrection, who happoncd to be coming along the road at tho time and not knowing that thero was any trouble anticipated, walked be tween the strikers and the men on tho inside and with the first volley was shot dead. At the El Paso also the men wero attacked by strikers; but left the shaft house and sought cover under bushes closo by. Here they were awaiting; tho attack by tho strikers; but they did not come near the prop erty, contenting themselves with firing about a hundred shots into tho shaft house. Armed men also prowled, around tho R. A. M. mine at about tho same time and fired several shots Into the shaft house but did not como closo enough to throw dynamite bombs and fire the buildings. A great quantity of giant powder was burned out side the fenao of tha Emmett mine, but no harm waa done by it. This powder was brought to blow up tho Emmett" shaft-house, but the resistance made to the attack by the men' on the inside foiled the strikers' plans, and fearing being caught with the powder in their possession induced them to burn it Denvki:, Col., Sept. 21.
