A BALI PE) Mne Rhode Island Veteran Re munerated For Loss of Hair. Congressman Tarsney’s Famous Charge | wound Proyed T by the Records of the Bureau—84 a Month Paid with Years of Back Allowance. Washington, June 24.—The fa zous bald headed pensioner of Con. | gressman Tarsney of Missouri, been found in the person of Allen G. Peck, of Rhode Island. Last February Mr. Tarsney deliv- ered a speech in the house in which | occurred the following startling | statement: “I speak not in jest but én sober truth avd from the record when I declare to this house ard to the country that pensions have been granted on account of loss of hair— on account of baldness. Think of the diminishing effect upon a man’s capacity to earn a support by manu- al labor that must result from the disability of baldness.” A week later a batch of correspond ence was submitted to the house, ewhich passed between Commissioner Raum of the pension bureau and Medical Referee Ingram of the pen- ‘sion office, in which the statement of Mr. Tarsney’s was denied by the pension bureau. Representative Grout submitted this correspond- ence together with a letter from Commissioner Raum, in which the Jatter stated that he “felt confident Mr. Tarsney had been misinformed.” Mr. Tarsney in reply said he could aot produce the uame of his inform- sant because the gentleman who had given him the information was em ployed in the pension office as med ical examiner and would suffer dis missal if his name was published. Dr. Warner Holt of Missouri, a rasedical examiner of the pension of- fice, it was said later, had given Mr. Tarsney the information that brought forth Mr. Raum’s denial. Dr. Holt was dismissed from the pension of fice March 2 “for cause.” Yesterday it was found that Allen &%. Peck of company H. First Rhode -Usland Light Artillery, was allowed a"pension October 19, 1891. Cer- tificeate No. 670,175 was issued to him and the case was ordered to be dated from March 1, 1884, and the arrearages of $4 per month amount- -ed to about $364. The records of fhe pension bureau show that no other cause was given as the reason for the allowance of Peck’s claim than the “loss of hair,” the result of typhoid fever.

British Soldiers Have «a Stubborn _Fight With Them at Rangoon. Rangoon, June 25.—For several days the Moslems have been prepar- ing to celebrate a religious festival to-day. This morning they were forbidden by Mr. Fleming, the Brit- ish magistrate, to sacrifice a cow -near the Hindoo temple. Mr. Flem- ing had threatened yesterday to is- sue this order and the Mabhomme dans were greatly excited. Just be- fore the hour of sacrifice, when po lice appeared near the temple with the announcements, the Mahomme- dans began stoning them. The yoe lice charged without firing, but the Mahommedans held their ground stubbornly and fought back with ‘sticks and stones. Mr. Fleming, who had gone to the spot as special policeman, was wounded. ‘The po- jicemen withdrew,got reinforcements and charged again without effect. Mr. Fleming then ordered them to tire. A volley was delivered at close quarters. Twenty Mahommedans fell dead and many more were swounded severely. As the Mahommedansstill refused to disperse, the military were called out Four companies charged on the double-quick with fixed bayo- nets. The Mahommedans dispersed slowly and still fighting, although many had been wounded in the charge of the troops.

Among them are the names of eleven men now drawing pensions, while the records of the war department show conclusively that they were desert ers fromthe army and are still de | serters at large. One pensioner, it has been discovered, was never in but bas been diawing his pension with reg- ularity and dispatch just the same. A number are dropped from the rolls for not having served ninety days, as the law requires; others be- cause the disability for which they | are drawing pensions is the result of their own vicious habits. Several | women who drew pensions as_sol- diers’ widows were dropped because they have remarried. The work of examining the rolls with a view to the detection of fraud will be prosecuted with vigor and at the same time current issues will be carefully scrutinized with the same object.

T., June 28.—The looters of the Bentonville, Ark., bank are just now being hard press- ed by officers, and the capture of the entire gang is expected at any time.

It is understood that Chaney has made a secret confession, and that all the names of the robbers were divulged to the officers. A portion of the} gang has been frequenting Wagoner lately, and it is known that one is seriously wounded in the neck and face, having received a charge of fine shot at Bentonville.

Denver, Colo., June 28.—Burglars entered the pawn shop of Heitler’s on Larimer street, last night and gave the bull dog kept within a lot of bones to gnaw upon while they packed up $1,509 worth of jewelry. A Pinkertor detective entered and was attacked by the dog. He had to climb upon a counter and stay there half an hour before the dog could be pacified. Meanwhile the burglars disappeared with their booty. Chillicothe, Mo., June 23.—Cap- ed, again, however, in a street a short distance from the temple.

The convicts took to the rocks, concealed them selves as best they could and return- ed the tire as rapidly as_ possible.
