Correspondence of the Herald
MARTINsBURG, VA, Nov. .6-GeneraI Sheri-
don, accompanied by Colonel Comstock, OF
and others of the staff, came down to Winches =
ter on visit to Colonel Edwards commandant
OF that post. with whom they partook OF lunch
cor, preparatory 10 a ride down to the rail Way
During the excursion, General Sheridan.
COL Comstock, and Captain Moore all began
10 e1hlolt violent symptoms OF corrosi We poison,
Wlch continued 10 increase until 1t became
necessary to procure a conveyance for the pur-
pose OF removing the Captain back to Colonel
EdwardsS quarters. General Sheridan co n
1nued on horseback for two or three miles fur
ther, though In much distress, and being Obliged
to frequently dismount. An ambulance then
met the party and transported them to VIM
chester. The white of eggs and other antidotes
10 corrosive sublimate were freely adminis-
tered, and with the best effect. Retchin0
vomit1ng, and purging continued until late in
the evening, when the General and Colonel
Comstock began to improve; but in Captain
Moore's case they continued all night. The
two former rested well, and were quite brieht
and lively. On Saturday morning, Colonel
Comstock rode to this place and proceeded bv
the noon train to Washington. Captain Moore
whose case was for some time considered
doubtful, is doing well.
1t supposed that these symptoms were oc.
casioned by something which accidentally got
into the composition of the cheese Of which ali
partook freely. Portions of the cheese will be
analyZed, and the whole subject undergo
thorough investigation. Several of the mem
bers OF General Torbets staff ate Of the same
cheese on the evening previous and were SINH
lArly affected, but did not then attribute il to
the cheese. 1t is said that do blame is attached
to any of the members of Colonel Edwards's
culinary department., nor in fact to any one
else by design.
