INDIFFERENCE OF OFVICERS—POOR FOOD BADLY COOKED—BRUTAL TREATMENT OF SOLDIERS, “It doesn’t surprise me in the least to hear almost continually of desertions from that un- fortunate portion of the army stationed at Jefferson barracks,” said a tall, fine-looking young man in the hearing of a Staz reporter the other evening. “Were you ever at that post?” asked the re- porter, and when the young man said he had put in the three most miserable months of his life at that suburb of St. Louis he was asked to give a brief sketch of his experiences. “As soon as I arrived at Jefferson,” said he, “I was made to realize how complete was the power of the non-commissioned officers. A sergeant assigned me to my quarters and marched mo to them and then, Ishould wander away, he threatened, with a profusion of oaths, to run his saber down my throat if I moved from the spot, What coulda recruit do? I was powerless. 1 COULD NOT COMPLAIN TO THE COMMANDING O*FICER because it would be necessary to obtain the consent of the first sergeant before I could speak to my captain, and a second permit was necessary to reach the colonel. I never suc- ceeded in securing permission from the first sergeant, although I tried dozens of times. great majority of the officers dressed up in civilian costumes and went to St. Louis, leaving these sergeants in charge of everything, and more ignorant, brutal wretches you could not find anywhere. If you did not exert yourself to please them made things more than uncomfortable for you. Without having been guilty of even the least breach of discipline I was one day thrust in the guard house and kept there for forty-eight hours, just to please caprice of asergeant. I was obliged to sleep on a damp stone floor without ee for myself and with no pillow but my BRUTAL TREATMENT OF SICK SOLDIERS, “The heartlessness of which I complain was extended even to sick men, WhenI was barely able to walk my first sergeant gave me extra duty to do—a more than ordinary amount of potato digging and other farm work. To a man in good health that was in itself an outrage. If we wanted to do farm work we could do it with- > at better wages and with more “How was the food?” asked the reporter. “Miserable,” was the reply, ‘Straight bread and clear coffee—the former badly baked, the latter a vile decoction—was all we had for breakfast, Dinner consisted of mixture of potatoes, onions and other vegetables, which was known as ‘slumgullion.’ The water was just as it came from the Mississippi—filthy with the drainage from shove—and. to those who drank it it was a substitute for Epsom salts, I suffered a good.deal myself, although I had money with which to buy extra food. What the moneyless men suffered no one can tell. ‘The effects of this treatment could only be of two descriptions— DESERTION OR DEATH. “Hundreds of young men went into hospital and came out boxed up. This made sick men loath to go into hospital,so they stayed out and endured the tyranny and vile food as long as they could; then they either broke down or deserted. There were about six hundred men at the post during my term there, and there never was a day passed without witnessing a Pee there; sometimes there were two or ree.” “Was the food well cooked, or was it in- ferior in its original quality?” “The stuff was poor anyhow, but the cooking ruined it entirely, The cooks were recruits, as WE have ever seen.

He was placed in jail not a moment too soon. Sam Hood, the jailer, and grandson of the murdered man, when he learned the circumstances of the crime, started for Brown’s cell, pistol in hand, but was persuaded to desist. There is a great deal of excitement in the town. In Chester the Hoods are legion. Their’ demonstrations were so great that members of the city council and other citizens armed themselves and went on guard at the jail. The facts were telegraphed to Gov. Richardson, who ordered Brown to be taken to Columbia under guard. The officers succeeded in locking up the lynching party and Brown was taken off in charge of two deputies and two aidermen.

The people of this county are happy in the idea that Tuesday and Wednesday of this weck will witness the passage of the bill at Annapolis giving to western Maryland the great boon of a competing line of railroad. Upon the passage of the order for reference to the attorney gen- eral last week the Baltimore and Ohio people in this section were jubilant and declared ite test vote, and upon tne order being rescinded their feathers have fallen and now even those who are known to be in favor of the interests of the Baltimore and Ohio plead that they are in favor of the railroad, but want sufficient guarantees that it will be built the entire length and operated from Cumberland to Washington. It ote. Lis stated by interested parties in Cumberland that at least 200 boats could be put at once upon the canal for the coal-carry- ing trade it has been ascertained cake ffs well scquainted with the condition that work that not half that number could at pres- ent be floated, that no new boats have built in the past two years and that those left Aa flood are in such # condition, to put itin language of one well acquainted with the canal, “that they would not make good chicken ore. unless the chickens were very large.” On Tuesday and Wednesday next large dele tions of the substantial citizens of that portion of the Ke dhe deeply interested in secur- ing transportation for their produce will visit Annapolis and do all in their power to secure the passage of the railroad bill.

The question of “How far is the teacher of a day school respon- sible for the Fiala of Ps dap was ably argued by Prof. George B. Miller of Sherwood academy and many other teachers interested in the subject, The discussion of the question of “How may we teach morality in the public schools?” was debated by Mr. J. F. Boyer, Misses Alice Gardner, Alice Stabler and Messrag Watkins, Petty and others. Several other tions of importance to teachers received at- tention, The recent big sales of real estate on the line of the improved road in the vicinity of Te: leytown has caused many people in this.vicin- ity to agitate the question of regrading and ps the road from this place to the District ine, @ distance of only 9 miles, and should the proper effort be made there is no doubt that the means could be securog in the county and among the business men of the District cities.

Cardinal Manning Gives it His Ap- proval, Cardinal Manning has written the following letter to Richard Fleischer, editor of the Deutsche Recue, by whom he was asked to give his opinion on the emperor's action in sum- Moning #conference of the nations on the labor question: “Sir: You ask me what I think of the invita- tion of the emperor of Germany to the European powers to meet in conference on the subject of labor and the state of the millions inevery country who live by the wages of labor. J think this imperial act is the wisest and worthiest that has proceeded from any sovereign of our times, “The condition of the wage-earning people of every European country is a grave danger to every European state. The hours of labor, the employment of women and children, the scanti- ness of wages, the uncertainties of employ- ment, the fierce competition fostered by modern political economy and the destruction of do- mestic life resulting from all these and other kindred causes have rendered it impossible for men to live a human life, “How can a man who works fifteen or six- teen hours @ day live the life of father to his children? How can & woman who is absent from home all daylong do the duties of » mother? Domestic life impossible, yet on the domestic life ot the people the whole politi- calorder of human society re) 8, the foundation be ruined what will me of the superstructure? “The Emperor William has, therefore, shown himself to be atrue and far-sighted statesman.” Strangled by Her Tooth, Mrs. L. W. Bradley, the wife of a wealthy citizen of Dubuque, Iowa, died suddenly Satur- day evening. While out calling in the after- noon she fell and broke her arm. A surgeon was sent for, and before proceeding to set the arm administered chloroform, While at work upon the arm he discovered that she was sink- ing rapidly and soon died without recovering consciousness. It is stated by the physician that an artificial tooth, of ‘which he was unaware, fell down her throat and strangled Te Murdered by Mistake. Jas. H. Miller, a colored man, met his death in the hallway of his residence, 1775 34 ave- nue, New York, yesterday, through a blunder of the murderer, Morris Miller, twenty-three years old. The deceased was almost disem- boweled with a jack knife by Morris, who ii tended the blow for the dead man’s brother-in- law, Wm. H. Lawrence. The house where the murder occurred is occupied entirely by col- ored ple, and is the residence of all con- cerned in the murder. About a month ago Morris and Lawrence had a quarrel about a counterfeit half-dollar, which Morris claimed Lawrence had passed on him, Yesterday morning Miller and Lawrence were on their way home. In the hallway of their residence Morris attacked Lawrence with the knife, Lawrence escaped and Morris attacked Mii supposing him to be Lawrence.

'A WOMAN'S P’ to About $100,000. A series of gigantic forgeries committed by Mrs, Julia C. Lippincott, wife of Edwin Lip- Pincott, proprietor of Haddon hall, one of the most fashionable hotels of summer resort at Atlantic City, has just been made public. For months the knowledge of the woman's crime has been known, but the husband's desire to screen his wife and the high esteem in which Mr. Ltppincott was held induced concealment, as Mr. Lippincott made the losses good, and having obtained s confession from his wife, with assurances that she would discontinue her Practices, he hoped to be able by large sacri- fices to make amends and save her reputation. But after he had almost impoverished himself im making her forgeries he found himself atlast unable Yo moet, the flood of demands whic! red in upon him from quarters. bel given forged mortgages, bonds, notes, checks and mercantile paper of all sorts with reckless i ity, sparing neither frien relatives, tradesmen, acquaintances nor even trusted and faithful servants and employes at = hoteland at their place of winter resi- lence. The strangest of the transaction is that while she d her guilt to him she can- not nor will not tell what she bas doue with the money. Finally Mr. Lippincott, finding him- self unable to meet even a portion of the de- mands, submitted to suits upon paper bearing his eignature or indorsement, which he was compelled to declare forgeries. those who began suits, it is asserted, are banks, trust companies and tradesmen in Camden and Philaderphia, besides victims by the score in Atlantic City and elsewhere in New Jersey. Whilo a charitable construction would be that Mrs. Lippincott is insane, she is credited with being » woman of unusual business capacity and force of character, shrewd in her dealings and not given to frivolity, display or extrava- gance of any sort, and very domestic in the family circle.’ The inference is that she has lost the money in stock speculation, endeavor- ing at first to recoup by single forgeries, which, through continued ili luck, duced the whole- gale crimes which are laid at her door. The full amount of her forgeries is not yet known, but it is believed it will reach and possibly may exceed $100,000. ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL, An American Wanted to Act as Arbitra- tor. Senor Freitas, the new Portuguese ambassa- dor, had his first meeting with Lord Salisbury yesterday. He expresses himself as much pleased with the prime minister's cordial and satisfactory reception. Portugal proposes a commission of five to be appointed to fix the limitation of African territory, two delegates from England, two from Portugal and one to be chosen by mutual consent, Lord Salisbury is anxious that this fifth dele- gate should be an American, because American missionary interests in Africa are affected b; the dispute. Portugal prefers that the fift delegate should be French, but will not oppose an American, provided the principal terms of arrangement be settled in Lisbon and London, = —— THE PARNELL REPORT.

Driven From the State. ‘The White Cap element seems to be coming to the front again in certain sections of West Virginia, At Rockport, Wood county, Charles Smith and his wife were taken from their homes and unmercifully beaten on the bare back with hickory withes and compelled to leave the county and the state. The family passed through Parkersburg yesterday and told horrible story of their sufferings and treat- ment. The wife says that after whipping her husband the mob caught her as she was trying to escape from the house with her children and tied her toa tree. She was then beaten until the blood came. Mrs. Smith says the sole cause of the outrage was her resistance to the improper solicitation of a citizen of her neigh- borhood. At Clay City a woman was also driven away by a mob who visited her house, firing guns and revolvers, and tied a note af warning and a bunch of hickories to her door. oe — John Burns and the Kalser, John Burns, the organizer of the great dock strike in London was interviewed yesterday on his opinion of trade unionism and aristocratic concession, He said: “Iam a socialist to the bone and look upon the concessions that the German emperor has been making tothe democracy the same as I view the charitable contributions of wealthy Englishmen tothe dock strikers—atop. In my opinion these concessions will but wet the appetite of the working classes and increase wir discontent. Monarchy must either as- similate itself to the people or fall. In America labor is not so well organized as in England. Americans allow wire pullers to boss them. In five years American labor will be properly organized, and it will use politicians instead of being used by them. I have an invitation from the federation of labor to lecture in the states and I hope to be able to accept it.” se did coe —— Dhuleep Singh Defended.
