For the Good of the Army, RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE INSPECTOR GEN- i ERAL'S DEPARTMENT. The annual report of the inspector general's department of the army to the Secretary of War, by General W. H. Davis, until recently insjgector general, suggests that some law or regulation be made for the better protevtion frdim loss, robbery or accident of certain assist- antts to engineer officers, who frequently have q their possession large sums of money before ve uchers for the same can be rendered. !The supplies furnished by the supply depart- mjents are generally good and satisfactory and tymely forwarded in respect to quality and yuantity.

INSTRUCTION IN ARTILLERY FIRING AND CAVALRY PRACTICE RECOMMENDED. ‘The improvément in target practice with sinall arms is highly commended, In further practice with small arms skirmish firing should receive relatively more attention. In respect to the light or field artillery there has been a'lamentable contrast. It has not kept with the progress with small arms, ‘he means and opportunities have been want- ing. Toattain the pipe Sener. required itseems advisable to assemble at some sultable post all the fleld batteries properly, organized, for a school of theoretical and practical instruction under the command of competent artillery offi- cers, where there are ainple facilities for drill and practice firing.

As for the article complained of, he knew nathing of It until he read itin the Paper that afternoon. He had no conversation with Mr. Corishill on the subject-matter of the bones and the disposition of them. Mr. Corkhill testified that the conversation on which tlae action was based he had with Mr. Godwin, of THe STAR, and that n had nothing’ whatever todo with the matter to his knowledg: This closed the testimony for the day. ‘TESTIMONY TO-DAY. This morning the plaintiff put in testimony a note fram Mr. Croggon to Mr. Hicks ironically thanking Mr. Hicks for courtesies. Hi P. Godwin, a reporter of THESTAR,was called} y defendant, and testified that he wrote the art} cle in question. He wrote it on no one’s directi¢m, but on hisown judgment. On that day he visited Col, Corkhill and conversed with him om the subject of statements telegraphed from Yais city as news matter on the subject. . Cfoggon knew nothing of the matter tili after tbe publication. He knew of no feeling between mand Hicks at the time. On ¢ross-examination witness said he visited Mr. Hicks after the suit had been instituted, be- Meving; that Mr. Hicks had entered the suit under & misapprehension, and that ifthe facts ere emplained to him be might drop his suit. He called on Mr. Hicks, stating that he was there on his own res} ibility and not as an employe of THE STAR. He told Mr. Hicks the facts concerning the publication, stating that r. 53 mn nothing to do with the publl- caticin in’ question. Witness said that in the conversation Mr. Hicks gave him the impres- sion’ that he intended to sue many papers throughout the country. Mr. iby S. Noyes, editor of TH EVENING STViR, testi that Mr. See had never told itn of any ill-feeling he (Mr. Croggon) enter- tained towards Mr. Flicks, nor requested the Publication of any arti¢le concerning Mr. Hicks, A‘ the time of the publication the relations of witness to Mr. Hicks were entirely friendly, and he knew nothing whatever of any ill-feeling be- tween Mr. mand Mr. Hicks, Mr.Wm. R. Collins, news editor of Tax Star, testified that he knew nothing of any ill-feeli between Mr. Croggon and Mr. Hicks, and th the article referred to was furnished by Mr. Godwin and not by Mr. Croggon. This closed the testimony, and Dr. Culver ad- the jury for the plaintiff. ARGUMENT ONLY ON ONE SIDE. Dr. Culver read his address from mapuscript, portraying at length the infamy which he claimed had been cast upon Mr. Hicks by the publication ofa statement that he had made merchandite of the bones of Guitean, and dis- cussing at dome length the laws of libel ‘When Dr Culver concluded Mr. Corkhill, of the counsel for the defence, stated that the de- fence woul] submit the case without argument. ‘rWO SERIES OF PRAYERS, Mr. Coylt: presented a series of prayers defin- Ing the law’ as applied to this case, as construed by the defence. These prayers presented the view that ieee ern Stee before be ae cover, prove that at least one person who of the’ conditions of Guiggau’s will, read the article, and that it must be shown that the per- son who Hronught about the publication was in- spired by malice, and thatthe malice enter tained by Mr. Croggon. if any were shown, did not affect the case, unless it were shown that he ‘was in ‘some way instrumental in bringing about this publication, Mr. H. 0. Claughton, for the plaintiff, also submitt/od to the court a number of prayers or legal propositions. These propositions were substantially that the plaintiff was entitled to recover, if the jury found from the evidence that thr: article was libelous, whether any actual malice. was proved or not; that in finding a ver- dict they should take into consideration all the faj:t3 of the case, the will of Guiteau, &.; and t/iat if any one employed on THE STAR havinjz malice towards Dr. Hicks contributed to thil; publication, it constituted @ case for ex- empliiry damages. CHARGE OF JUDGE cox. Juélge Cox, taking the prayers, said he would state the law as he understood it in his own terms. He said the substance of the complaint was that the defendant bad published an im- tation that Dr. Hicks had offered to sell the mes of Guiteau, thereby committing a breach of falth, Such an imputation would undoubt- edly tend to bring @ man into disrepute. He thought such an imputation would, in the strict sense of the law, bea libel. The law re- quifed as an element Of libel malice, expressed or implied, ‘The only Importance of axcertain- ing; whether there was any expressed malice wes to determine exemplary damages; but if it wore shown that the libel was published from cofrelessness or oversight, without actual malice, the law Citawel ere the jury to award the de- fendant only the damages he had actually suf- fered on account of the publication. The Judge dalled attention to the fact that the publica- tion complained of made no assertion. It simply repeated gossip between a reporter and Col. Corkhill. The reporter asked if Col. Corkhitl knew. whether it was tfue that Dr. Hicks had offered to sell the bones of Gulteau, and Col. Corkhill had replied that he had been so informed. It was true, the court said, that an ce ey might be con- cealed in an inquiry. le noted that this publi- cation did not chal any breach of trust or mercenary motive. That was not, he thought, a libelous publication in itself, as it alleged no mercenary motive or breach of trust. In order to complete the proof one witness was brought to tes! that be had read the article, and had aprevious knowledge of the will of Guiteau, prescribing that his bones shouid not be dis- posed of for mercenary motives. The principal uestion forthe jury was whether the publica- thon of this Interview with Col. Corkhill was in- tended by the defendant to ae eS convey to ‘the public an imputation that . Hicks had Violated his trust. The publication not being gn assertion of Jact, the plaintiff was required to aver that it meant to charge him ‘with improper conduct. It was left with the jury to determine whether such was the inten- tion. If they found such intention the gary, should render such damages as they believe the plaintif? was entitled to, Evidence had been offered to show that one of the reporter's ot Tne STaR had some ill-feeling towards Dr. Hicks, fit were shown that this reporter had inspired the article complained of, such fact would form an element in making out a case for exemplary damages. But it had been shown that this reporter had nothing whatever to do with this publication. ‘Counsel having asked a question A Swath Over a Mile Long and Several Blocks Wide Swept by the Flames— Over 300 Dwellings Burned and 500 Families Left Homeless—A High Wi Fans the Flames inte Fury, and Ren- ders the Firemen Powerless. GALVESTON, TEX., Nov. 13, 2:15 a.m.—A de- structive fire is now raging in the eastern part of the city, between 16th and 17th streets. The fire broke out at 1:40 in a small foundry on the north side of Strand street, near the corner of 16th. The flames spread rapidly under a stiff north wind, and the prospects at this time are that Galveston will suffer great loss. Six dwell: ing houses have already been destroyed, and immense clouds of sparks are being carried four and five squares over the roofs of wooden houses. The eutire fire department are the ground, but they seem paralized and unable wo fight the flames because of the fierce wind and suffocating smoke. FIFTY DWELLINGS ABLAZE. ‘The fire at 3:45 a.m. has spread seven squares, and has become @ great conflagration. Fully fifty dwellings are burning fiereely.and the ath cf the fire, as it progresses southward, is ied with tfc finest residences in the city, all of which are wooden. For five squares south the fire was confined to the width of one square, between 16th and 17th streets, but when it crossed Winnie street, six squares from the starting point, it jumped Uiagonally to the Southeast into the next block, and at the pres- ent writing gives evidence of’ consuming one- third of the city. Sixty Blocks Burned Over. 9 a.m.—The fire is still burning flercely. It is now about four blocks from the beach. It is ng on avenue N, is still spreadingon both sides ‘and has cut ‘a swarth of sixty blocks, About sixty blocks have already been destroyed, hundreds of families have lost everything, and great distress prevails. The loss Is placed by Some at $4,000,000. The Firemen Powerless. 10 a, m.—The fire has now reached a point within threes blocks of the beach, and is still spreading in that direction. Tne firemen seem powerless to check the flames. About four o'clock the fire began to spread to the east and to the west of 16th and 17th streets, the wind rose to a gule and pande- moniuin reigned. For a time it seemed as though the entire eastern half of the city was doomed. | The fire spread rapidly to the south- ward, licking up the blocks of elegant resi- dencés hastily abandoned by inmates, By five o'clock it had reached’ Broadway, which threads _ the center of the island, running east and west. At 7o’clock the wind gave signs of dying away, and shortly it began to shift, then to decrease until by 8 o'clock only @ fair’ breeze was blow: ing. But by this time the fire had eaten its way to avenue O, where, at 9:30 o'clock, it seemed to exhaust Itself, and the firemen com- ing up checked ils further ravages at this point or within two blocks of the galt, The Burned District. The burned district covers fifty-two blocks, seven of which are not swept entirely cle: Js sixteen blocks in depth and averages of three blocks. From the housetops the smok- ing burned district resembles @ huge black half opened fan lying across the island trom the bay nearly tothe gulf. The island at that point 1s nineteen blocks or one mile and a-quarter wide. The fire started on the north side of Avenue A, better known as the Strand, which is one block’from the bay, and it stopped within two blocks of the gull. Six- teenth street is nine blocks west of the extreme inhabitable end of the island, the first residence street being 6th. From’ Avenue A to Avenue D’ the’ fire was confined to the strip, bounded on the east by 16th street and on the west by 17th street. The business partofthe city begins ‘at 20th ‘street and runs west ten squares. This outline locates the fire, which began to spread rapidly after it had avenue D, By the time it had reached avenue J, or Broadway, it was sweep- ing*nearly three blocks in widil, from the west side of 17th street to the east side of 14th. Three Hundred Dwellings in Ruins. About 300 houses were burned, which occupied by fully 500 families. From avenue A to avenue E, for four squares, the burned ‘dwellings were occupied almost entirely by the rer class, and several families were crowded in a single house iu this strip. From avenue E, however, the burned district includes the wealthiest and most fashionable portion of the city. A Hundred Fine Mansions in Ruins. One hundred clegantly furnished mausions are in ruins. Many of these resideuces had their beautiful gardens aitached to them, and the | f monied loss does not represent over ‘half their value. All manner of estimates are to be heard at this time, The city assessor says the taxable value of the dwellings burned Is $650,000. ‘This makes the actual value of the property 1,500,000, which perhaps represenis the loss in money. ‘The insurance is estimated at $600,000, although some insurance men, who have walked over the district, place the insurance at ,000.
