If so, the “line of duty” is the line of safety. On the face of it it seems that the new lew claimants; were favored at the expense of the old law claimants. October $1, 1892, there were 273,503 invali pensioners on the new roll, exclusive of “addi- tionals”—those old law pensioners who ob- tained an increase under the new law. Hud the new law claimants been rated as low as the old law claimants the annual pension roll would be $10,535,335 leas than it now is. ‘A “first payment” is the amount a pensioner receives from the date of his application to the date of the allowance of his pension, and the official reports show that that period averages a Uittle over fourteen month. Hence it follows that if the new law pensioners should not have been rated any higher than their old law com- rades, each of the former has. recetved $3.21 Per_,month too much, which, multiplied by fourteen, shows an excess in “rst payments” to each of the 273,503 new invalid pensioners of $44.94. or an aggregate irrecoverable loss of $12,291,224. We have detailed statistics of the operations of the now law from its inception. July 1, 1890, to October 3), 1892, and they establish that the | new pensioners who were on the roli at that | latter date had been on that roll an average of | fourtesn months, drawing during that period | $9.21 a month or $44.94 in pensions more than | their less-favored comrades, thus exactly du- licating tho loss incurred in first payments. is unexplainable preference for new law | claimants has caused the irrecoverable loss of | .582,448 in twenty-eight months, besides | fastening upon the pension list an annual | burden of $10,535, | Tt will be bard to make the old law claimants who proved their disabilities to be of army origin | bat the new law claimants disabled since discharge are entitled to 50 per cent | more in pensions than they are, und vurely they will follow with their approbation Commis- sioner Lochren’s new board of revision, A Verenay, —_—-—_— Commander Woodward's Retirement.

A GREAT GATHERING At the Dedication of the New Brook- land Hall. SOME GOOD ADDRESSES Made by Bishop Keane, Commissioner Ross, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Me- Adoo, Mr. Theodore W, Noyes, Rev. R. R. ‘West and Others—An Enjoyable Ball at | Night. ee The dedication of the handsome new Town Hall of Brookland yesterday afternoon attracted. not only the residents of that charming suburb and those living in its immediate vicinity, but many from the email towns of Maryland, as well ag a large number from Washington. Long before the Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Fanciulli, commenced its overture the hall was crowded to ‘its fullest capacity and nearly all the standing room was utilized. The hall had been profusely and artistically deco- rated with flags and vines, while banked about the stage were palms and other potted plants, and roses and other flowers shed n delightful fragrance throughout the entire building. THE EXERCIAES, Seated on the stage were the president of the Hall Association, Mr. Thos. G. Carmick, who prosided on the occasion; District Commissioner Ross, Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo, Bishop Keane, rector of the Catholic Univer i w. RR. West, Rev. Fathers Hogan, Hyvernat and DeWult ‘of the Catholic Univ ¥. Maj. G. Clay Goodloe, Dr. J. H ir, Theodore W. Noyes and Dr. Fran T. Howe. ‘The program of the exercises was as follows: Music, Marine Band; prayer, Rev. RB. Wes music, double octet; address, Bishop Kean mousic, Marine Band; oration, x-Representa- tive Buttorworth; music, double octet; address, Assistant Secretary of the Navy MeAdoo; music, Marine Band; five-minutes addresses, Commis- sioner Ross, Mr.T.W. Noyes and others; music, “America,” Marine Band, double octet and audience: benediction, Rev. Father DeWulf; music, Marine Band. ‘This was fully carried out except that ex- Representative Butterworth was called out of the city on legal business and sent a note re- gretting his inability to be present, His ab- sence was not felt, however, for all the other spenkers were earnest, interesting and eloquent. President Carmick made a few introduc- tory remarks, giving briefly « review of the movement to build the hail and the different atages of its progreas,and then presented to the peaple of Brookland the completed. building, which be hoped would meet with their appro- bation. He also mentioned the financial status of the association, which made a gratifying showing. SHOP KEANE. Bishop Keane made the first addross, and after congratulating the people of Brookland for their energy and enterprise in building such a fine structure, which, he said, ought to bring the community closer together, he spoke of the Denefits which this bali would be to the people in the uses to which it could be out, and said that he would name afew of the uses to which it should not be put. It never should be used for anything that would in any degree be derogatory either to morality or religion. [Applause,} Only for satherings tending to good morals should It be given. Ther n who oc- cupy themselves in giving lecta to religion, but no such words should ever be up of religions hatred, animosity and mistrust between people of different religious creeds, That spirit should be kept out. Admit any man who would preach the gospel of Christian love, but keep out those who preach Christian batred. ‘The bishop then turned his attention to the rapid growth of Brookland and to the fact that it was already an important section of the Dis- trict and deserved as much attention from the authorities as any other vection. He ‘said that the people came out there to live so that they could bave pure air and bring up their children to be strong and healthy men and women. But increased so greatly, it was necessary that they. should have all the aids to @ healthy and sant- tary condition. They needed water from the city water supply; they needed drain- age connected with the city sewerage system, and they needed and were entitled to all the advantages that the citizens of Washington enjoyed. He told Commissionet Ross that the people connected with the univer- sity would unite with the inbabitants of Brook- land in making thee demands for improvo- ments, and that be wonld have no peace until city advantages had been secured. Bishop Keano was frequently interrupted by applause, and when he referred to the need of improve- ments there was loud cheering. Commissioner Rose was the next speaker, and after the applause that greeted his appearance had subsided he said: as COMMISSIONER Ross’ ADDRESS. I deemit an honor to take part in the cele- bration of this auspicious occasion. The entire District of Columbia extends its con- gratulations. The completion of this tasteful, convenient and well-proportioned hall by the citizens of Brookland is an achievement of which you may well be proud. It 9) volumes for the enterprise, the public spirit and the resources of your people. I know of imany county seats of more than five thousand population in the states of the Union which aro not as well prepared to entertain public gather- ngs as you are this day. Now ‘the completion of the hall will give to your beautiful aubnrb more of local dignity nd importance. This structure will be the central point around which will gather all who meet to discuss local intereste and all who make plans for the presentation of your claims to the Commissioners and to Congress. You ean send from this edifice a united voice of petition or of protest which will compel respect. Here your young people will meet in social inter- course, and here those of maturer years will ro- new their recollections of the days when sitos now oecupied by church and school house and suburban villas were an unbroken solitude of farming land. ‘There are many causes which havo co-oper- ated to bring about the marked changes which a few brief years have wrought in this pictur- eaque portion of the District. You were fortunate in having among your first proprietors men of energy and of quick perception. ‘They readily understood how this tion on the Metropolitan branch of the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad, with its quick access to the heart of the capital, could offer excep- tional advantages to the ‘good people whose work was in the city. but who preferred homes in the quiet and coolness of the suburbs. But they were not contented with communication by’ steam, so they encouraged the electric road, which wends ite quick way to the university and which will soon, no doubt, be extended to the very borders of your village, and when the suburban road shall’ have been completed you will have about all of the lines of travel that even ambitious Brookland can covet. Iam contident also that the great university, whose white walls are a marvel of architectural beauty, bas added to your prestige, It tea great ‘honor to live almost within the shadow | of such a temple of advanced learning, and a great advantage as well. The university’ brings learned and scholarly men among you, It af- fords opportunities of attending the interesting courses of free lectures which have been there instituted, and beside the atmosphere of gant learning which pervades the locality, it ives a pronounced value to the lands in all the vicinity around and about it. The university | has only begun to grow. New buildings must be | added in the near fature. All these things add ‘The Secretary of War received a dispatch from Mrs. Lamont this morning, saying that there is no truth in the report telegraphed frem | | Chicago that she had been taken ill in that city. | to the prosperity, the growth and the dignity of | been a University station. I recall the fact that it was a special pleasure to me to work for an appropriation for Brook- land's new school house. I know that it has, and that it t benefit to your le io best class of citizens has tended to attract the to become residents among you. You may not —< remain an isolated community long. contemplated extension of the streets aud avenues of the District will, before many years, be an accomplished work. ‘The Capitol will oon be the radiating point of euystem of streets and avenues coterminous with the District line. Your post office will at ‘an early date be a branch of the Washington city post office and will bave «city, delivery of mail by carriers. Not more than one year need elapse before the water supply from the Great Falls of the Potomac can be upon your streets and in your houses, and sewers and stroet pave- mente will soon emphasize your complete an- nexation to ail the privileges of metropolitan existence, and your town hall will be the center of 8 prosperoas and happy community, which will claim all the honor and demand all'of the privileges which belong of right to citizens domiciled in the capital of the United States. T have referred briefly to these factors which tend peculiarly to the advantage of Brookland. You share in others which belong alike to all who live within tho District of Columbia. Some have expressed surprise at the marvelous growth in values within the District. Some People cannot understand why syndicates com- Posed of shrewd and calculating capitalists Come from California, Michigan, Now York, Pennsylvania and New England and invest many millions of dollars in undeveloped land within the District. It is not mere sentimont which actuates such men. They know that the city within whose expanding environs they in- vest in the unchangeable political metropolis of a republic whose strength and growth are almost beyond computation. They know that that political center must correspond to and keep pace with the nation whose capital it—ia ey know that life and property are secure here against riot and insurrection as inno other municipality. ‘They know that no wild scheme of taxation or of increased indebtede. ness can prevail here without the concurrent sanction of the Senate, the House of Repre- Sentatives and of the President of the United States. All of these things tend to your advan- tage and to the advantage of all people. of the District of Columbia. I congratulate you upon your public spirit and enterprise. May your community continue to grow in numbers and in iutelligence and may you always share in all the honor and distinction that may belong to the District of Columbia. ASSIBTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY M'ADOO. Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAJoo was then introduced and talked pleasantly of the advantages that a hall of that character was to acommunity and of the great advantages that the people of the District had over the resi- dents of any other city in the Union in the stubility of their local government, in their freedom from a liability to inereased taxation and in the opportunity given them to study the whole machinery of the government of this great republic. “He paid a high tribute to the energy aud enterpriso of the community that erected that beautiful hall and indorsed the remarks of Bishop Keane in regard to the pur to which it should not be employed as well as the objects to which its use should be dedicated. €MR. THEODORE W, NOYES. Mr. Theodore W. Noyes was then presented, and after referring to the fact that he was familiar in a general way with the growth of the uuburb of Brookland from the fact that he was asummer neighbor, he said that while the people were suffering at prosent from a lack of the improvements which those of the city en- Joved, the future Brookland, as well as the other’ suburbs, would possess the beauti- ful streets and ‘avenues and reservations con- tinued on the same lines and pia ; Washington proper with all the other metropoli- tan accompaniments, He spoke of the three stages of the development of the national eapital; the first in its gradual growth from the time it was planned by Washington and L'Enfant down to the period when it took its rapid stride under. the enorgy of ex-Gov. Shepherd. The growth of Washington bad in its last stage extended beyond the original confines of the city, aud those living in Brookland and on the heights which encircled the city beyond Bourdary street and the residents of these suburban subdivisions would be a part of the newer and greater Washington, having all the deauties of strects und reservations of the old city without its slums. Tho injustice of the street extension law was that while it recognized the suburbs as an integral part of the capital, through which its street plan must be e tended, 1t took the ground thut the nation’s obligation to the capital was not extended to them, Iu time, he believed, the national legis- lature would recognize and’ correct this injus- tice, and not make discriminations between the integral parts of the federal district. Me referred to the great institutions of learn- ing that would have an important influence upon the inhabitants of the present suburbs of Washington, speaking of the Catholic Univer- sity that was already an accomplished fi the proposed Episcopal Cuthedral and its tendant institutions that would be erected to the north of the city, and of the Methodist University that would be built to the north and west of that, He indorsed the views of Bisho) Keane as to the needs of the suburbs and close by predicting a brilliant future for the newer and greater Washington that should include all the subdivisions about the city and which should terminate only with the limits of the District of Columbia. REY. B. B. WERT. Rev. R. R. West, pastor of the Baptist Church in Brookland, echoed the sentiments of Bishop Keane in regard to religious tolerance, and said that he spoke for the older residents of the place, referring to tre development that he had seen in the past three years, and expressing the hope that the future growth would be not yaa great in a material sense, but that the community would grow spirituall; OTHER BRIEF REMARKS. Brief remarks were also made by Dr. Frank T. Howe, who «poke for University Heighta, saying that the interests of the dwellers in that: subdivision were identical with those of Brook- land and that they would insist upon holdin, Commissioner Kows to the promise that he ba Rade in the mattor of improvements, and by Maj. Green Clay Goodloe, who congratulate the people upon the completion of the hall and assured them of his nctive eympathy and co- operation in any movement tl for ite ob- fect the welfare of the community. ‘The music by the Marine Band was fully up to the standard of that splendid organization and the singing by the double octet was greatly audience present. The ced and their work indi- cated the caréful drilling they had received from their conductor, Prof. N.

A family affair. Not the well-known novel, but interesting reading, nevertheless, is the statement in rela- tion to the employes of the police department and the number of relatives they have in office, Chairman Dockery of the subcommitte on ex- | ecutive organization resently requested the Com- missioners to furnish him at an early day with 8 full list of the employes of the District gov- ernment, their age, occupation, number of years employed, sex and salary, together with the number of relatives they had in the public ‘employ. The first department heard from under the general order of the Commissioners was the police department, and when the messenger from police headquarters brought the report to the Commissioners he softly chanted, “And so | do his sisters and his cousins and his aupts.” ‘The report shows that the police department hans 487 peraons number 164 relatives are regularly engaged | in other departments of the general and local government.

THE GARBAGE CONTRACT. Apropos of the arrest of Mr. B. W.

It appears that on the Sth of May” (os printed at time in T Stan) Mr. Clarke assigned his contract to the National Sanitary Company of Baltimore, and after that date all money dae the con- tractor for the work was collected by that company. The Commissioners, however, re- | fased to ucknowledge the transfer of the contract and it was not until lately that they assented to the change. When the question of com- pensation for destroying the garbage came Up, however, the Commissioners found them- selves inn’ peculiar position, The National Sanitary Company gone to considerable expense in erecting a plant for the destruction of the garbage, and were well prepared to do the work. It was evident, however, that unless the company was recognized as the contractor matters would be complicated The Fidelity Company of Baltimore, which was one of | the bondsmen of Contractor Clarke, was com- municated with, and gave its permission to an | wignment of ‘the contract to the National ‘uitary Company.

The Defense in the Borden Case Demolish- ing Damaging Evidence. ‘Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. New Beprorp, Mass., June 16.—The famous Borden case has evidently reached “the begin- ning of the end.” There was less of a crowd in the court house this morning than there bas been at any time since the beginning of the trial, although the air was delightfully cool inside, and fans were retired. District Attorney Knowlton aj a bit nervous today, walking around down by bis table as Counsel Jennings conducts the direct examination. ‘The prosecution is asking but few questions on cross-examination. In fact, neither Moody nor Knowlton take notes as the witnesses testify. Both lean back, talking casually about the case. They must feel very certain or else know as well as anybody that the state's case is weakening. The strongest ally of the defense so far is Hyman Lubinsky, who says that he saw Lizzi Borden coming from the barn. Lubinsky drives an ice cream wagon for Mr. Wikeson of Fall River. He put up his horse at ‘Charles L. Gardner's stable at the corner of 24 and Rodman streets. On the day of the Borden murder he was late in getting his team. It was = ago time, _ was: ag hoes am.; be drove out « hurry, and on going down 2d street passed the Borden house, he gave s glance into the yard. He saw a young lady inadark dress coming from the barn toward the Borden house. ‘he persisted in’ saying Mr. Knowiton’s #trenuous efforts to make him say she was close to the steps. Lubineky is perhaps rather an ignorant man ge, but his instinet told him natu- rally that the lady was coming from the barn. ‘The testimony of Joe Lemay about a wild- eyed stranger seen four miles from Fall River on the day of the murder, and saying. “Poor Mrs. Borden, poor Mrs. Borden,” was ruled ont.

She said that oficers were not hindered in entering defendant's room and thoroughly vearching the house. Lizzie wept when looking at her father's remains on the day of the funeral. She wore a pink wrapper when witness went to the house and wore the dress given to govern- ment on Friday and Saturday Mrs, Reagan told witness that the “You gave me away” story was untrue. ‘The prisoner sat with her face in ber hand- kerchief during much of Mrs, Holmes’ testi- mon of Several reporters to who denied the “You gave me the Boston (lobe were stand.
