Military Matters.

Colonel Baron, of Bellaire, was up yes
terday comforting with General Duvsl,
Colonel Miller and Lietensnt-Colonel
Sterling. He has concluded to come Up
and take part in the sham battle on May
9Oth. 1t Is possible that his regiment,
the Second Ohio, will take part in the
entire programme of that day.
The Colonel informs US that he was
present at the sham battle st Marietta
last year, and from present prospects
ours will be much grsnder in every re-
spect, as we vii! have more men and also
two pieces more OF artillery than were in
use at the Marietta battle.
Colonel Miller, we understand, will
request the officers of B and d Compa-
MES, First Regiment, to bring their COM
psnies out in their full Zousve uniforms
on the 30th. General Duvsl and Colonel
Baron both requested Colonel Miller to
do this, stating that by placing the
Zousves on the skirmish line, it would
add materially TO the effect of the dis
play.

Card from Mr.. Gebhart.

WHEELING, May -.
Editors OF the Register.
An article appeared in this mornings
paper stating that l had refused to pay a
fine which was imposed upon me at the
Police Court yesterday Wednesday,
This is not true The facts are: Officer
Baum and EIwood Martin came to my
house about II o'clock on that day and
demanded the amount Of the fine and
costs. He said, "WIll YOU psyY l
said 81 do not want TO pay you, ss you
have given me no bill. l will come up
this afternoon and pay it." l went to
see Mr.. I thompson, the other officer OF this
ward, and asked him to attend
to it Tor me as l did not
feel we'll enough to 20 up at the time. In
less than half an hour Geo. Baum and
another officer named Graham came TO
my house and took hold OF me in the
garden where l was at work. / then
tried to sit down because | was tired AMI
am SICK, and asked them to let me rest
little, My wife then told me to pay the
money and Baum said we do
not want the money we want
him (me). She said well go with
them. When my wife was talking they
or rather Baum told her to speak Eng
lish so that the other officer could under
stand her. After we started they treat
ed me like murderer, and my arms are
black and blue from their rough treat
ment-and / can prove that what they
did is from spite work. Further than
this l can prove that Baum said the same
night, in a certain saloon, that he was
not half through with me yet.
