Strange Story Revealed hy the Application of llis Two Widows for Pensions. Logansport, 1ml., Aug '2s.? 1'he dual life of a once prominent farmer of ('ass county was revealed by a suit tiled in the circuit court to quit the title to a farm. In 1 Anna K Woodling, the daughter of David Woodling, a rich land owner of this county, married William Marshall, a young man who had but recently been discharged from the army. Nothing was known of Marshall itnil he studiously averted any reference to his past history. 11o was industrious and by the assistance of Woo Iling purchased a small farm. Fortune smiled upon him and lie became rich. About ten years ago Marshall was killed by the premature discharge of a blast, leaving his wife and seven children real and personal property valued at $.>0,000 and a $ 10, 000 life insurance. A year ago the widow applied for a pension, but when the application reached the department it was found that another woman, Agnes Marshall, of Pittsburg, Pa., had applied for a |>cnsion as the widow of the William Marshall. The matter was placed in the hands btV- I oued States agent of the department who found that tho Pittsburg woman was the lawful wife of tho dead veteran. At the iK'ginning of the war he joined a Pennsylvania regiment, leaving his wife and two children at Pittsburg and as he never returned to lu/r she came to thccon ciusion mat ne nao noon kiikm in battle and after vears of weary waiting, :i|>}>1 ie<I for :i pension. The investigation of the pension agent having been made known to her, she now livings suit to prove her title to the property left by her husband. A NKW PARTY' LA I'NCI! KD.

The (spirit of the occasion was entered , into hy most of the people throughout the count v. As early as 7 o'clock huggies and wagons hegan to roll in? men women and children swelled the crowd and it is estimated that between l,"oo and 1.200 people were on the ground. The train from Columl hia brought Senator It It Tillman, Mr \\ ilborn and Col D 1* Duncan. I The grounds were just opposite I Honham's. When these gentlee | men arrived and marched into the grove we fully expected to hear cheer*after cheer, but all i was silent. A few ran up after Senator Tillman took his seat on tlio stand and shook hands with ' him. The largest portion of tht crowd were ladies and children. ,We thought it a good time foi the senatorialu candidates to ht : there, but if tlrey had they would - have had to change their speeches, I liecause the ladies were present. What a sad commentary this! The first speaker introduced was Mr 1) 1* Duncan, who, in hi? usual eulogistic style, Itooslet the Farmers' Alliance, tolling what he, as its financial agent, had done for the people; how strong the organization -.till was; he assured the people that the AI lianco was prospering.

AI though he was a I'nited States senator he was as much a citizen of South Carolina as ever and had her interests at heart. In all of her elections he felt an interest, llo , said that ho was going to do what he thought was best and not come , down and ask anybody what he , must do. That he was not losing II any sleep pver who would succeed .'him m the senate in lt?00. He , j said that (IcLaurin was with him , in his vioi s for the good of the , south.

He then gave a history of the dispensary and what > j ' _ . it has with the old license system and talked ?.f the old svstem as a | monopoly in the hands of tlio ?*ich, like a monopoly was not a curse t 1 , and as if the State under the dis11; pensary did not havo a monopoly I of the whiskey trade. He said that prohibition had always proved ?j a failure. If the people wanted j the dispensary let them say so, if ' | not do away with it; don't let Sia moil ton say you shan't have it. 0 He said the people were lienetitted * j by the dispensary in that the l? , protits went to the schools. ' j In answer to a question, he said '* ho did now know whose influence e Kllerbe acted under when he ap 1 pointed McLaurin. He said .fudge ?, Simonton splits hairs when he de^ fines the original package and r wound up by saying that he, as ever, depends upon the "wool hat boys" who follow the plow. 1 The meeting then broke ui?. n ' ?I * e In all it wan tauie.
