The ineyitable heated term is here, and 1ts encrvating effoct 1s particularly notice- ablo in the social world. Out door pleasure, such as lawn parties, tennis, driving, picnics at the park, trips to lake Manuwa, ete,, are the passtimes with which the leisure hours are whiled away by many, while the fortu- nate mortals who swelled their exchequers in the real estate boom of two years ago will enjoy the fruits of their ventures by passing the summer by the scaside, near the lakes or in the monutain resorts, while others will do Buropo, and even Alaska, with its undevel- ped wealth, has attractions for others, The glorious Iourth was eminently a s0- sial day, being otherwise featureless, and was spent in quiet pleasures in the parlor and on the lawn. No brilliant gatherings characterized the day, but many families en- ioycd themselves in the eveniug with shoot- ng off fireworks. : A_number of distinguished personages have been in the city the past week, among whom were General W. T.Sherman and arty on Tuesday. Fis stay was brief, but e was welcomed at the depot by & number of old friends. On the following day the sub-committee of the committee on Indign aftairs of the United States senate arrived in the city on their way to Alaska, and ‘were entertained while here by leading dignitaries of the city. The party consists of Senator Dawes; of Massachusetts, Senator Stock- bridge, of Michigan, Senator Jones, of Ar- Kavsas, and Senator Manderson, of this state. Tho visitors were shown the promi- nent features of the city, and in the course of thewr drive stopped to inspect Tur Bre building, which_all complimented in the liighest torms. Senutors Dawes and Jones both expressed the greatest surprise at the marvelous development of Omaha. The Mercer Musicale. An elegant musicale was given at the res- fdence of Dr. Mercer Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Burt street home for des- titute woment. The greatest care had been exercised in the selection of musical num- bers, and the 200 people from the highest so- cial les of the city who encouraged the charitable movement by their prosence and dollars, were delighted with the entertain- ment given. The beautiful home was bril- liantly hghted, and the spacious lawn was made almost as light as day with electric lights. The participants in the programme were Miss Marion Chase, Miss Roeder, Mr. B. B. Young, and the Mandolin club. The sccompaniments were played by Mrs. B. B. Young and Miss W. Lowe. The singers wera all accorded their proper meed of en- thusiastic applause. ‘he first number was rendered at 8:30, and so pleasing were the warious solections that all regretted that the programme was not longer, although it con- sumed two bours in its rchearsal. So suc- cessful was the entertainment that the per- sous having it in charge may probably give another later in the season. Flag Drill. A very pretty and unique entertainment was given by the children of Trinity Metho- dist church in Kountze place on Tuesday evening. It was termed the “Ilag Drill,” this feature being o prominent one of a v ied programme, and a large number of peo- ple in that portion of the city had turned out 1o witness it. The flag drill was given by a large company of boys and girls, all wear- ing white conical caps of stiff founaation lace, and carrying in their hands flags el vated above their heads. All kinds of march- fug was performed fauitlessly and elicited murmurs of approbation, Miss Ina Ken: pedy and Misw Esther Friod lod the two vans, ' other feutures of the programme were piano solos Dy Miss L. Dellane, recitations by Mabel Fonda, a quartette by Messrs, C. E. Abbott, C. N. Mac: ‘olinell, J. I, Dimmick and Miss G, R. McAusland, ‘soclal solos by Miss Georgia Boulter, Mr. C. E. Abbott and Miss Arnold, recitations by Miss Etta Forbes, Miss Addie Stevens and LaFayette Ander- S0n and w vooal duot by Walter and Lou ale. Arthur Brandies Fetsd, 1‘ The beautiful lawn and imposing residence of Mr. J. L. Brandies, at Nueteénth and Leavenworth streets, was ablaze with light and alive with merriment on Wednesday evening in honor of Arthur D, Brandies, who is to depart soon to Detroit to take unto himself a wife. The party was given by his fellow friends of the Metropolitan club and their ladies. The lawn was beautifuliy dec: orated with Chinese lanterns and a bewiide ing variety of rockets und Rowan candles were fired. Inside the mansion the tables were weighted with an elegant champagne supper. All the ladies were arrayed in mag- BiRbent tollots and the gontlemen appoared in the conventional full dress coats. On the 10th inst. Mr. Arthur Brandies will wed Miss Friedman, a reigning belle at Detroit, Mich. Didn't Know His Bride's Namo. The St, Joseph Gazette tells an amusing story of one J. G. Hovkins, of this city, who applied for a marriage license at St. Joe lasy weels, but could not remember the name of his flancee. Various names were suggested 1o him until the name ‘‘Jonnson' was men- tioned as a name good enough for her to bear temporarily until she could exchange it for the appellation of Hopkins, T'he young lady was therefore registered as Miss — John- and the happy briflegroom, after soour- ml.ho license, promised to inform the clerk of nis bride’s correct name as soon &s he could learn it from her. Stowart-Kretsinger. George B, Stewart, formerly an Omaha poy, was married on the 25th ult., to Miss Adele Kretsinger, of Fort Madison, Ia. The ceremony was performed by the groom’s father, Rov. George D. Stewart, D.D,at his church, the United Prosbyterian. T, Stewart was for a long time pastor of the First Presbyterian chu in this city, and his son is well and favorably known hero. The bridegroom is now a promising youne attorney at Fort Madison. Order Sons of St. George Social.

Freedman, of the Clio Dramatic club, deserva special men- tion for the excellent manner in which they recited “The Old Maid” and “The Organ Builder,” Tos cream, cako and lomonado served at intervals, and music, songs and recitations kept an appreciative sudience Ul near midnight, when all departed thoroughly delighted with the entortainment. Basker Plonie. The congregation and Sunday school of the Second Presbyterian church on Saunders street enjoyed n most delightful basket plo- nic at Hanscom pach yesterday. The pienic- ors met at the church at 10 a. m, and were conveyed in special cars to the cool fotroats of the park, 'The supervision of everything was entrusted to the pastor, Rev. W. J. Honderson. A most delightful day was spent swinging in hammocks, playing cro quet and in social converse by the older peo- ple, winle the little folks found endless sport playing among the trecs and running through the grass. Southern Olub. The members of the Southern Social club do not apparently take the interest in their socioty that it deserves. At the final meet- ing for perfecting the organization, held last Tuesday evening, only fourteen of the sev- enty members wero present, The reason for this is given by some that there are uo ro- strictions on membership and therofore very undesirable persons may join. The provi- sions for membership are birth, former res dence or ancostry in the south.” Tho consti- tution and by-laws show that the association is a social ove. Miss Bakor Surprised. Miss Baker, one of the young ladies who recently graduated from the high school, was the recipient of a pleasant surprise party Thursday ovening at the residence of Mrs. Smith, 2017 Douglas streot.

Some of the Subjects They Will Dis- . cuss This Week. The ge! managers of the various western roads will meet in Chicaro Tues- day. Several important matters will come up forfinal action. Among thom will be tho question of freight charges on exhibits to the Omaha exposition. Heretofore articles for exhibits have been conveyed free of charge. At a recent moeting of the roads it was de- eided to charge a one-way rate. A commit- tee from the kExposition sssociation filed a pProtest against this, and the matter will bo passed upon Tuesdiy next. Another important topic will be the right of u railroad company to fatten cattle in transit. or years the Union Pacific,and lately the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley, have maintained yaras near Fremont, where cattle in transit were unioaded and allowed food. For this little favoritiam the railroad companies charge $10 extra per car for cach carload of cattle handled in this way. Tho Burlington has entored a protest, and claims that the two companios must cither abandon this work or forfeit thelr right to the through rate and apply the local, ‘The milling in transit clause, a matter which involves the Milwaulkee road, will also come up. This clause allowing milling in transit was incorporated in the rules and regulotions, only after a bitter fizht being made for it by the Milwaukee and the millers of Minneapolis. Tho Milwaukee tops tho grain belt of Dakota, and about 85 per cent of the grain product of that territory is milled at Minneapolis, Competitive lines want the clause abrogated. AMUSEMENTS, The return of the ever-popular ‘“‘Bosto- nians” will be a welcome event, even though the weather is hot, for the new Grand opera house has been found to be a very cool sum- wer theatre, and the public will go at any time to hear tho beautiful and artisticper- formancos of this justly famous company. The namo it was_called on the Pacific coust, “the incomparable Bostonians,” is deserved- iy won by them, for there is in Englsh opera no company 8o complete and 8o splen- didly equipped. The versatile Mario Stone, the superb tenor, Tom Karl, the greatest of conwraltos, Jessio' Bartlett Davis, with the boust of operatic” comodians and the most refined, Henry C. Barnabee, with the most opular and dolightful baritone, W. H. Mac- onpld, would alono make & company of greatost strength; bat included in the per- soncl of tho company are 80 many other charming artists, notably Juliette Cor- den. who has made & great Success ever, where with her rich vocal gifts and artistic mothods of using them; Carlotta Maconda, the lovely young soprano, who las made rapia progress with this company this sea- sou and Las o future of raro promise; Louise Bianchi and_Josephine Bartlott, artists of storling worth, and most_ successful in their various roles. ' Of the male contingency, tho numes of Edwin W. Hoff, the charming iyric tonor, and Eugeno Cowles, the very success- ful young basso, stand out as artists of rare promise and great popularity. Georgo Frothingham, so long identified with the succossos of the company, is again a prominent name among them, and in his own field of eccentric comedy parts ho has made always the greatost success, The box office will open at9 a. m. to-morrow for the lo of reserved soats. 'he farewell appearance of the great Rhinehart family takes vlace at the Musee this week, prior to their return to the east, They will appear in_a new sketch entitled “Dark Corners of a Great City,” and will introdyge maay of tho new specialties, songs and dances that have made this family such a great attraction. The curio hall will bo full of wonderful and interesting caprices of nature. The public seem to huve chosen the Musce as a favorite resort in summer, and it is & fact that the ventilating apparatus that was put in for the hot weather keops the atwosphiero as cool as 1t is in the open alr. BREVITIES. John Brewer, who died at St. Joseph's hospital from scvere burns, will be buried to-day ot Forcst Lawn. Jim Dougherty, who was killed by the cars Fourth of duly morning, was buried at the expense of the county last evening, as it is discovered that his connection with the A, 0.

How it IntroducedNself Into Coun- oll BRATS, CHARLES WEST AND HIS FERRY. el Tho Plucky Boatmap's Perilous Trips Over tho Treachgrpus lce—The Special Hana Oar Train. Reminiscences of Early Struggles. Eight years ago on any morning about 4 o'clock, one could have found a boy waiting ‘and watching on the then dreary bank of the Towa side. A pony and a gig could also have been seen. This was a part of the crude transportation system by which Tar Ber was carried daily to its readers fn Council Bluffs. The little bundle of Bres then suf- ficlent to supply the demands of the Blufites, was each morning carried from the press room to the river bank, placed in a row-boat, and thus taken over to the lad waiting in the willows, who in turn proceeded on his dreary three mile drive across the then waste of weods and tangle of bush, known as the bottoms, The stalwart boatman was Charles West. It was often no pleasure trip. In the cold, when the shivering lad on the bank would be warming himself by a ton-fire, in thunder storm and flood, when drifting logs swept towards the canoe, threatening to upset or sink it, in the midst of floating cakes of ice, in the dark and in the cold, the plucky boatman never falled 1n his purpose of sup- plying Council Bluffs with news to go with the morning coffee, During the winter when the river was frozen over, West used to carry the papers over in sacks on his back. Sometimes, when the ice was dangerous, he would takea plank under his arm. On more than one oc- casion he went through the ice, and Tie Bek ‘was made anything but a day sheet. Several of his escapes wers 8o narrow aa to rob them of all those humorous features which now surround them as reminiscences. The lad watching on the shore developed rapidly into plucky manliness. During the few years since then the lad has become a yonng man, has gone further west, has bravely wrestled with fortune, and now Charley Bray's check is good for more dol- lars than most of his dudish companions will ever see, much less ever earn. Hé recently made one fortunate turn in mining property, and sent back to Council Bluffs $4,000 in cash to be placed to his credit here—a part of.the profits. How mrch of his success is due to this carly, rugged training, can nover be told. Fred Ticknor also porformed like service® He, too, has developed into a stirring and sterling business fellow, making and holding many big round dollars, his specialty being live stock. The bundle of BEes sppn grew too heavy, the mode of trasportation too slow, and a cycle car, propelled by levers as a hand- car, was pressed into s¢ice. This was run over the Union Pacific bridge, under regular train orders, and the papers were thus de- livered to the Broadway depot, from whence they were taken by a;liorse to the Council Bluffs ofiic This was .in 1885, George Gellenbeck was the enginger, fireman, brake- mau, conductor and e¥préssman of this special train, He thus” transported hun- drods of Beks every miokaing. Gellenbeck can tell many tnrilling a8 well as humorous ancedotes of his escapes and expericuces in this service. Often, dpapite the train dis- patcher’s assurances of @ clear track, a switch engine_or wild jra would putf up most sturtiingly near, np.l(l,ho would_have to jump the tralk. By’ dimpiog his pile of pupers and letting then! *#6l1 down the steep side of vhe fill, he could then 1ift and pull the little car off the traék~and hold it with aiMculty from follnwing. - the papers down the bagk, , until . thq danger was over. More _ than ounce he was not_so fortunate. Once ‘‘the special Beg train” was ditched; again 'its engineer was dumped into a snowbank; and still again the car was so wrecked that & new ono had to take its place, With the completion of the new wagon bridge the hand car has given way to a team and a covered wagon, which is loaded at the press room in Omaha every morning and rap- idly whirled over the river and up to the ofice of distribution, The gathering of late Council Bluffs news ‘was attended by no less- dificulties. One might operator supplied the telegraph office in Council Biuffs and he was too busy taking associated press reports to be bothcred by souding any Bre sp Is across to Omaha. ‘The telephone oftice had a night -operator who evldam‘:{ feit it his bounden duty to slecp beyond awaking by even Gabriel's trump, and if by chance he was caught awalko, tho “hell-o” was so badly mixed as to turn the word end for end. Then there were the numerous difficulties arising from the jealousy and prejudice ex- isting between many io both cities. This was pefore Council Bluffs and Omaha were introduced to each other. The acquaintance has rapidly ripened until wedlock, and nat- ural increase has madoe them of one family, working harmoniously together. In looking back now it seems hardly possible that one Broadway merchant a few years ago de- clined 10 have T'ng Bee delivered to him by carrier because, us stated by him, “Your papor gots around to tho storo before I open up, and if it is left in the handle of the door some of my customers may see it and quit patronising mo because I read an Omaha paper. I buy it every morning of & news- boy, but I don't dare take it by carrer.” 1t is now acknowledged that Tiug Bee has not only done more than even the local papers to give news to and of the Bluffs— done more to advertise this neighboring city but it has also done more to bring about the wedlock of interest. The office appointments have also changed greatly, owing to_ the rapid in- crease of business. When it was d cided eight years ago to establish u branch office of Tie Beg in Concil Bluffs, 1t was predicted by many that the expense and difficulties would the enterprise to speed- ily come to naught. The Ber was the first Nebraska paper to enter this field. Mr, Rosewater realized the difficulties, but bent on success, and with faith in the future of Council 13luffs, he was nothing duunted by the dubious start of twenty-seven subscrib- ers and one little advertisement. At that time a littloe upstairs room in the Everett block more than answered all purposes. A bit of pasteboard, fllutteringly announced, at the foot of the narrow stairway: “OMAnA Bee For Sale Here.” A few nowsboys, one carrior, and one or two afaghes of THE BER were the only ones to piz‘h through theofiice door for the first fow webils, Council Bluffs 800n began to show its apprciation of pluck and energy, and increasa’ followed speedily* ‘This morning whoeveristands at Tae Brr headquarters in Councilgfufts will find at 5 o'clock a crowd of boys, g-umn in and out with bundles of papers.” [Fouies standing in the street are quickly i nted and carrievs 0 galloping away in all difections, carrying 'ue BeE to from sixteen Wbighteen hundred readers.

M, Pryor is the pro- vrietor. This department is completely fitted for doing fine work, and is one of the busiest in the oity. The presses have water wotor power. In all about twenty-five per- sons are steadily employed in the Council Bluffs Bre oMce. From this office is also published a unique little monthly devored to oslvinu eutertain- ments in churches and social societies, The eirculation is already 5,000 monthly, and its readers are in every state in the union. The little monthly is also the organ of the Chau- tauqua Assembly, whose manager, Mr. J. Harkuess, hus his headquarters in the Bes oftice. ‘Tue Bre is now recognized as a part of Council Blufts, By giving fairly and fully the local news of the city, by taking an active interest in the success of its public enterprise, it has so won its way as to be looked upon as an iwporiant factor, RIGATS OF HEIRS. Detormined in an Interesting Onase in the County OCourt. An interesting case was adjudicated by Judge Shields, It related to the gusrdian- ship of Sardius H. Brewster, In 1868 the fathor of Sardius died, willing all his, prop- erty to Sardius and his wife. Shortly bo- fore hor husband died Mrs. Browster gave birth to another son, Elbert, but no mention was made of the now son in the will When that dooumunt was br ought to pro- bate, Judge Hascall had the property divided equally betweon the wifo and two children. Two years ago Mrs. Browster died, leaving all her proverty to El- bert, the infant and unprovided for in hls father's wiil, and Sardius Brewster domandod that an account be given by her executors of hor stowardship of the property which had come to her from hia father. The judgo decroed that the personal property amounting to $300 which was Sardius’ share be allowed to the late widow for Sardius’ support up to the time he became solf-sup- porting.

A DEPOT ;ITE A New Move Mado For a Moro Oon- tral Location. A prominent citizen who has an oye to business in railroading, concerning a sito for a union depot fn Omoha, said: *T would suggest that the railroad companies excreiso a little intelligence in the selection of a site for the union depot. Naw, I have looked the ground over carefully, and 1 think that the most available sito 1s that bounded by Eighteenth and Twentioth strects on the enst aud west, and Harney and Mason on the north and south. I think, takiag overything into consideration, that this is the spot whero the depot snould be built. You could have the grand entrance frontmg on Harnoy strect —the building extending east and west -~and then to the south of this have your train sheds and terminal facilities. The position of the Burlington and Union Pacific tracks weuld have to un- dergo but shight change. A double track couid be constructod in the form of a Y, which would enable the turning of entire trains. Over this track all trains could enter. Then set gut your branches, such as is the caso at the transfor in Council Buffs, I would suggest that a viaduct be constructed along St. Mary's avenue, extending from Seventeenth to” Twenty-second street, and vacate the avenue and 80 arrange it that the trains might pass under the viaduct. “The proper site for the depot is in or near the business center of a city. The Pennsylvania company only found this out when it cost thom '$7,000,000 to got to the business center of Bultimore, and they even then had to build trestle works over the tops of hovses on their right of-way. The uncertainty of the channel of the Missour: river, together with the fact that it is comparativoly worthless as far as navigation is concerned, will prevent the building of the oity in that direction. The Tenth street site, twenty years hence, yes, and I may reduca it to ten years, will bo sub- urban as far as the drift of the business is concerned. 1 do not wish to_discourage any movement pointing toward_the erection of a uuion depot, but I am firm in my belief that the site should be more centrally located.” YOUTHFUL FORGER. Fred Copeland’s Penchant For Water- melons Leads Him Into Trouble, A tall, slim, well-dressed, quiet looking young man, about nineteen years of age, was brought out of his cell at the police station last night, to the wire grating which sepa- rates the outsider from the cells, *Is that the man?" Ofcer Cusick asked a gentleman standing outside. “Yes, that 18 the one,” he replied. ‘““Ho came mnto my store, at 2513 Leavenworth strect, this afternoon, and ordered a sack of flour and a watermelon to be delivered to 1310 Park avenue. He ten- dered a check for $7.75, drawn to the order of G. W. Cook und signed by Max Meyer & Co. 1 took the check and gave him §5.75 in change After he had gone out it struck me that the check did not look right, and I ran after him. He took the check without a word and gave me back tho money.” The young man is Fred C. Copeland, who has been living with his parents on South Tenth street, near Castellar. His parents are most respectavle people, and his father has worked in the offices of ‘the Union Pa- cific railway for several years, The young man was in the employ of the Union Pacitic about three years ago in a position of trust, and defrauded the company. He skipped out to Salt Lake City, but was brought baci under arrest. For some time provious to_the 1st of Jun e last, he was employed by Freeland, Loomis & Co., as elovator boy, and was atterwards promoted to the position of clerk in the furnishing goods department. It was noticed that_the young man was living at a _very rapid rate, and investigation satisfied th'o management that he was appropriatin g money. His discharge followed, Young Copeland at once started out as a full-fledged forger. He drew up checks payable to various fictitous parties and signed by the firms of Max Meyer & Co., Freeland, Loomis & Co. and McCord, Brady & Co. These checks were for small amounts, ranging from 5 to $10. His mothoa of oper- avion was to go into a grocery or fruit sto and buy one or two articles, ordering them sent to some 1maginary place. He scemed to have & penchant for watermelons and flour. When the checks came to tho banks they were thrown out and refered to the houso whose name was signed on them. They wero reported to the police, and Detectives Ormsby and Mostyn were dotailed to iuvestigate the matter, A description vas obtained from tho various victims, and Copeland was finally located. A decoy letter was sont him, telling him to meet & certain party last night at the corner of Fifteenth and Douglas, He came and was arrested. The ofiicer started to tho station with him, but when they reached the corner of Fourteeuth and Capital avezue Copeland broke away and ran west on Capi- tal avenue. Detective Ormsby followed and drow lis revolver. Coveland stopped noar Sixteenth street und was taken back. He acknowledges the whole affair and says ho has passed about twenty-seveu checks. It is estimated that his entire profits are only about $100. The young man gives vromise of belng @ very expert criminal within & fow yeurs. . A Shooting Affray. Fay Martin and Lloyd Simpson were in & saloon on Douglas street near the bridge yesterday aftornoon, drivking and smoking, The finally began disputing about an old grudge and becamo so noisy they were or- dered out. They separated and started up town. Aboutan hour afterwards Simpson was soen iu the vacant lov ou the coruer of SIXTEEN PAGES. Douglas and Eleventh streots and called to & little boy to go and get his revolver and some cartridged. Martin appeared on the scene at this juncture and heard his remark to the boy. Hoatonce ran at Simpson and boat him over the head with a_revolver which he drew from his pocket. He then commenced shooting at Simpson, who started to run ‘west on Douglas street. Matin's marksman- ship was very poor, as he failed to hit Simp- son by shooting, 80 he commenced pounding him over the head with the revolver, draw- ing a littio blood. Martin_was arrested, but Simpson got away. Martin says some of Simpson's friends hit him with an axe, and he was afraid ho was going to be mobbed, WHAT CAUSKED HI!S DEATH? A Jury Inquiring Into the Cause of Williams' Taking Off. The Inquost over the remains of Bd. Wil- liams, the soldier found dead on the railroad track mear Fort Omaha, consumed tho at- tention of Coroner Droxel and a jury the on- tire day. That official is satisfled after an exhaustive investigation of the case that Williams ocame to his death through accident. But owling to the various rumors afloat concern- ing the deceasad being murdered the coroner says that ho will continue the sitting of the jury until every report is sifted ta the bot- tow. L. C. Judson, eupineer, and A. Bump, conductor oif tram No. which' 18 supposed to have pa over Williams’ body, wore examined. testimony was very meagre. The former testitled that near Fort Oumaha about 11 o'clock he heard & peculiar rattling under the locomotive, and on stopping at the next station, Omaha Heights, he found a cock on the under side of the locomotive knocked off. He picked o shred of cloth off the machinery which he believed was a piece of oiling rag. He did not sce any blood on the locomotive, but noticed that the front of the ash-pan was covered with dust. He would not swear that he was looking ahead at tho point wihere Wiiliams was killed. He admitted having run over and killed six men at various times. No testimony of importance was elicited from the conductor. Pearl Brown, Emma Martyns, Lottie Moulton and Charley and Minuie Ford, the tough looking crew who were arrested on the most vague rumors, without the advice of Chief of Detectives Mostyn, were next examined. Pearl Brown testified to drinking beer with Williams in Partell's beer garden, She left for Ford's bagnio shortly after 9 p. m., accompanied by Mike McCarthy. Emma Martyos, the saddle- colored mulatto, also drank beer ' with Wil- liams, but remained in the beer garden with Jake Reiter until after the news of Williams deatharrived* Lottie Moulton, while drunk yesterday was arrested, and claumed to an officer that she knew who killed Williams, but on her oath she denied knowing anything about it. The Fords testificd that they at home the entire evening. Ford is the negro said to be the murderer of Williams. He has a white wife and it is said that he had threatened to kill Williams for keeping company with her. No one saw him in the vicini of the fort on the night in question, und the tes- timony of four persons besides nimself agree thav during the interim from the time Will- iams was last seen to the vime he was found dead Ford was at home. ‘An adjournment was here taken until 4 p. m., at which time the taking of testimony was resumed. Nothing new was clicited, the testimony being merely corroborative of what had been given before, The soldier, Hull, testified that he heard a voice saying: “Don’t do that,” but hecouldn’t tell whether it was a man or woman who spoke. His memory seemed to be decidedly Toggy. ‘The inquost was adjourned until 10 a. m. Monday. ‘Williams was buried near the Fort with military honors last evening. County Gommissioners.
