WASHIxciToS, Dec 83. The first attempt
to get Judicial determination of the legal
tight of the commissioner of pensions to
suspend a pensioner from the rolls came
up before Justice Bradley, of the supreme
court of tbe District of Columbia. It is
brought in the form of an application by
Charles D. Long, a Justice of tbe supreme
court of Michigan, for a mandamus to com
pel Commissioner Locfaren to restore turn
to his lull rating at kTi per month.
Justice Bradley issued an order on the
commissioner to show cause why tbe man
damus should not issue and the matter
was argued by counsel. Commissioner
Lochren and ex-Commissioner Tanner
were present and tbe legal array included
Mr. E. B. Whitney, assistant attorney gen
eral, representing tba government, and
Mr. Thomas & Hopkimv of Washington,
sad Mr. F. A, Baker, of Detroit, represent
ing Jadge Long.
Hopkins opened for tbs petitioner.- He
dier. When Assistant Attorney General
Whitney arose, he accused Hopkins ot
peaking for tbe newspapers and said that
tbe former loose administration of tbe pen
sion bureau was a matter of public scan
dal. He spoke of the pension for perma
nent helplessness granted to Judge Long
nd referred to the complainant's oecn
pancy of the office of supreme court justice
in Michigan at t5,O0O a year.
Commissioner Lochren, in defending his
action, snid that be bad suspended pen
sions only in cases m-here they were plainly
illegal. He referred to the Norfolk case.
where the claims were based on fraudulent
testimony. As he had the pwer ot sus
pension his oath of office required him to
exercise it when necessary in bis Judgment.
In every case, he concluded, he had given
the benefit of the doubt to the soldier.

New YottK, Doc 23. To the presence ot
mind and cool grasp of the situation of
Civil Justice Steckier a disaster ot se
rious nature was averted in this city. His
court room is on the second floor of tbe
Florence building, a large five-story struc
ture on the corner of Second avenue and
Frst street. Originally built for a ball
room and assembly halL subsequent
changes have so injured its stability that
it has recently lieen condemned by the
building department. The ordinary busi
ness of the court doe not call for large
quarters iu the building, hut the close of
the year led to muny landlord and ten
ant cases and not only was the court
loom densely crowded, but the halls and
stair ways were jammed. "
He'Saar tbe Building Sway.
One of the court official who left the
court room for a few moments and stood
cross the street fane ied he saw the build-
i.ig sway. Knowing its character and tht
warnings flint had been given by the buiid-
ing department, and convinced that his
eyes did notdeceive him, he hurried up
into the conrt mom, and making his way
to the benchsnid:
'Judge, the liuiltlingfs skaking and may
tumbledown nny liiiniite.'
There had been an ominous crack heard
just a moment previous and the judge.
grasping the situation, rapped for atten
tion and snid:
This officer has just given me some in
formation which compels me to adjourn
t'jese proceedings at once. All the cases
called will be heard at the Third district
court room in Jefferson Market.
The Crowd Ouietly Dispersed.
