Huinan Bones Fou nd.

At the time of tho destruction Of the Infrm.
AIRY by Are, 1t was currently reported that \
woman had perished In the flames. At the
time, we made numerous inquiries in order to
ascertain the truth or fasity OF the report, but
did not succeed in ociting anything conclusive
and we, therefore, H. common with tho public,
came othe conclusion that there was no truth
in the report. Yesterday, however, we learned
~ the lnirmary that n few days since, work
caused by the FIRE, discovered a portion Of the
charred and blackened bones OF the unfortu.
nate victim Of the flames. They were gathered
together and placed In the hospital, where they
the woman was Mrs. = Huskey, for four years

Military Execufian

Private Michael Lsnahan, Of the Second In
fxntry United States army, was yesterday hung
In accordance with the sentence of the court
martial In bis case, on the common between o
and Z streets, near Vermont avenue, for the
wiliul murder of his superior officer, Sergeant
Brennan, Of company A, Second Infantry, ut
Georgetown, D. G., on the 9th Of Ootober last.
The cause 10 thus referred to In the order for
execution:
1.-THE prisoner was private Of the guard,
and on the nrst relief. When the hour came
for posting that relief Lauahan was not vt the
guardhouss. As Sergeant Brennan was about
posting another man In the place Of Lanahan,
the latter came to the guardhouse. The SER
geant turned sharply towards him, told him he
was never In place when wanted, slapped him
and told him to get bis gun and 60 on post.
Lsnahan got his gun and took bis place on post.
han half hour Of extra guard duty. A very
few minutes afterwards, az Brennan was pass-
Ing by his post the accused hred and Killed
him, The proof 10 clear that he did this In
satisfaction Of the grudge he bore towards the
deceased. not only for the blow given him at
tbs gusrdhouse few minutes before, but for
old scores, which he mentioned In his state
ment to the court. .H VI:

or non commissioned ofncer to strike soldier,
except when 1t is absolutely necessary TO re

cause Of being struck, to shoot his immediate
superior, 10 at war with every principle of sub.
1t was In evidence that Il was not customary
for sentinels at Georgetown TO have their arms
loaded The prisoner must have loaded his
musket for the purpose Of carrying out his vim.
eide In this case seems to lack none OF the fea
lures which distinguish murder from simple
msnslsushtsr."
