A MURDER UNEARTHED. nets How a United States Sergeant of Artil- lery # Killed for Money—The Body Burted, then Dug Up and Thrown Into the Ses near Fortress Monroe—The Crime Discovered by a Comrade. , FORTRESS Monror, Va., July 2%, 1972. The particulars of a cold-blooded murder, com- | mitted here some three months ago, have just come tolight. The troops here were paid offin April last, and quite a number of the soldiers got on a spree. Among the number was First Sergeant Baker, of Battery G, First United States artillery. On his way to the Fortress from Mill Creek, a town situated about a mile west of the Fortress, and abounding in Urbis he was followed by two white men and a colored man, who, supposing he had considerable money in his possession, jormed a plan to rob him. One of the white men is kuown as “Buck Smith,” a Hampton oysterman; the | names of the others are not given. On reaching a | secluded part of the road one of the robbers STRUCK BAKER A TERRIBLE BLOW, killing him instantly. They then searched his pockets, but, as the negro stated on the examina- tion, they ‘didn't dnd a damned cent.” There- upon they dragged the body down to the beach ana | buried it under an old wharf. It appears that they subsequently came over from Hampton ina boat, ona dark night, some three or four weeks after- wards, and dug up the body, setting it adrift in the Re hoping that the tide would carry it out to sea. The body was found on the beach, near the steamboat wharf, a few days aiterwards, and prop- erly interred. When the body was found the general opinion was that Baker had been accidentally drowned, and if any marks of violence were found on liis body it was carefully kept from the public. Some of the sergeant’s comrades, suspecting that all was not right, have been on the alert for A CLUE TO 113 MYSTERIOUS DEATH. One of them being in Hampton the other day on business fell in with a colored man who was very much under the influence of liquor, and commenced tantalizing him. The colored man got angry, and told the soldier if he did not shut up he would be | served as Sergeant Baker had been served. He then questioned the colored man, who was just drunk enough to tell him all he knew. The matter | was brought before Justice McDevitt, of Hampton, | Buck Smith | was arrested for the murder, while the colored man, Tom Jefferson, is held as a witness, Both men are now in jail and will be kept there until the | trial takes place.

The translator or adapter has wrought in a way to leave all that was piquant in the worst sense of the word, and to tear off the thin veil which the admirable conver- sational subtility of the French language ena- bles the author to throw over the most sug- gestive thoughts. But the translator of “One Wife’ is @ plaim man, who calls @ spade a spade, and im his intense literalness he tells us what the French author meant, no doubt, but what he would not be suffered to say even in the lowest Pariaian theatre. ‘The language is outspoken and leaves no room for. apy doubt aa to what is desired to be conveyed. We are not troubied with double entendre or French cookery of any description; all the dishes are served up with Saxon plainnoss. We doubt, how- evor, that the feast will become popular; for the sake of the reputation of the town we hope it wont. If the chances of success depended on the intrinsic merit of the ptece we should have no hesitation in saying that it would be a disastrous failure, as it deserves to be. “One Wile’ is but. the logical consequence of “Divorce,’’ which ought to havo fatied, but was saved by its appeal to a cor- rupt public taste. Its muccessor is tharhed. be the same poverty of language and unpardonable vul- garity. For coarsencss and offensive stive- neas we know nothing in modern playwriting at. all comparable to the second act. The representative American matrons are made to talk in a manner which we do not care too explicitly to characterize. No woman with any sense, de- licacy or refinement of ek would give utter- ance to the coarse sentiments which American ladies are made to express without any feeling of shame in the presence of their female companions. If there was nothing else against the piece than the scarcely concealed immorality of thia second act it ought to secure its rejection. Certainly the conversation of ladies 18 such as could only be Indulged in by the demit- we hope for the sake Of womanhood only by the most degraded even of that cluss.

Ante-Mortem Statement Called For—OM- cer Cooney Discharged by Coroner Herr- man. Sergeant Blake, of the Thirty-first precinct, yes- terday sent a written communication to the Coro- ners’ office, in which he requested that one of the Coroners should appear at the Keception Hospital, Ninety-ninth street, as soon as possible, for the purpose of taking the ante-mortem statement of Matthew Madden, of 111th street and Fourth ave- the hands of officer Cooney, while in the discharge of his duty, a8 fully reported in the of Mon- cay.

Acting Commissioner Sweet, of the Internal Rev- enue Bureau, has issued a circular prescribing gaugers’ fees, which sets forth that section 53 of the act. of July 20, 1868, as amended by the act of dune 6, 1872, provides that the compensation of internal revenue gaugers shall be by fees depend- ent upon the quantity gauged, to be prescribed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, which, together with their actual and necessary travelling expenses, shall be pnid by the United States monthly, By virtue of this provision, fees at the following rates are prescribed, per proof gallon, for all internal revenue gauging, to take effect on and after August 1, 1872, viz.:—For the first 100 gallons in the month, ten centa per gallon; for all above 100 gallons, and not exceeding 5,100 gallons, ono cent per gallon; for all above 5,100 gallons, and not exceeding 15,100 gallons, three-tenths of a cent per gation; for all above 15,100 gallons, and not ex- ceeding 165,100 gallons, one-tenth of a cent per gallon; for all above 165,100 gallons, one-fiftieth of a cent per gallon.
