sylvania last Monday was one in the noted
Stack O'Hara case. Father Stack was removed
from his pastorate In Williamsport, Pa, some
six years ago by Bishop O'Eara, no reason being
assigned for the action. The priest brought
action to secure his right of property in The
revenues of the church and In his profession,
and the suit has dragged along through various
complications. Judge Gamble virtually de-
cided that the bishop had no right to deprive
the priest OF his living, but, having done so,
there did not seem to be any way in which the
supreme court has affirmed. The moral effect
Of the Judgment is with the priest, but he does
not in the present situation get any material
benefit.

MeHfltCS splendid March,
RAwLINS, wy, Oct 9.-Lieut. Almy, an adju-
tant Of Gen. Merritt's command, gives a very
interesting account OF the march OF Gen. Mer-
ritt's command from Rawlins. He says: ave
marched continuously Saturday night, not halt
ing single moment and making seventy miles
in twenty y-four hours. 1t will be remembered
that the command left Rawltns at 1890 a. m.
Friday, october Sd. They marched forty miles
that day, and the second day thirty miles. The
men endured the march splendidly. They real
lied that few OF their comrades in arms were
surrounded, and that their safety depended
upon the quick movement Of their command.
Consequently there were no complaints. Seve-
raj horses were SO worn out that they had to
be abandoned and died on the roadside. The
command arrived at the scene of action Sunday,
october 5th, after marching seventy miles the
day previous. When Merritts advance guard
by them to halt, and in order to inform Capt
Payne that 1t was the relief column that was
approaching he caused his trumpeter to sound
the of1icers call. Capt. Dodge,s company of
the 9th cavalry was there when Merritt arrived
He arrived on Thursday, and had to cut his
way in. In the engagement he lost thirty three
out of bis thirty-fve horses. Drs. Grimes and
kfmball went to work caring for the wounded
Immediately upon their arrival at the COM
mand. Merritt's march was great military
success. Major Thornburgh's body has been
recovered"

Gen. Crooks Headquarters
Gen. Crook has established his headquarters
at Fort Steele, but comes here every morning
and remains during the day, returning home IN
the evening. He is watching things closely
and dispatching messengers daily. Capt. Glllis,
quartermaster, is here, and to him belongs the
credit of moving more forage and supplies In
shorter time than any officer on record. 1t Is
due to his promptness that the troops were
enabled to go to the front so speedily.
