Lieutenant Howgate, who has been inspec
tor and Disbursing Officer Of the sigma
Corps, he has been suspended. The gen
eral order on the subject was issued to-day
stating: "By. directions Of the secretar,
Of War, First Lieutenant'A. w. Greedy
Fifth Cavalry, is appointed to act as in
spector OF such unserviceable Quarter
masters property and ordnance stores as
may be properly presented to them for In
spection, and for which, First Lieutenant
q. W. Howgate, Twentieth Infantry, Act
ing Signal Officer, is responsible" It has
also been decided to transfer the disburse'
ments Of the corps from Lieut.:
Howgate to Lieutenant Craig, oil
the Fourth Artillery. It Is pro-
posed to inquire into certain real estate
transactions OF Lieutenant Howgate, which
are said to be very large. II Is also inti'
mated that tho late General Meyer. late
Chief Signal Officer, was much mortified
before his death to ascertain that Howgate
had been using the name Of the corps to
collect money from commercial organiza-
tons throughout the country for his Polar
expedition. How much was so collected
and the use made OF the funds, except in
the purchase of. the ship, which was un.
favorably reported upon, but has since
started for the Arctic regions, is not
known. As soon as he discovered the
course Of Lieutenant Howgate, General
Meyer bitterly opposed the scheme, and
TO him was largely due the withholding Of
the Governments cooperation.

a service with so many parts that no
outsider could by any means anticipate
what was going to be done next or who
was going to do it. But it all went
smoothly and none too soon for the
eagerness of the children, who watching
the flaming and flickering of the wax
candles that shone in the trees like iIe-
flies on a summer night, concluded that
Santa Claus must find a great many
good children this year, that he should
be so long in getting round. But he
had been hindered.

There was also tree loaded with good
things and the Church was trimmed

short addresses, music and recitations

button of presents made pleasant and

" SPY OF ATLANTA"

The beautiful Military Allegory,
written by Maj. C. w. BARLEY, and
produced under his management, for
the benefit of the Wellington Cornet
Band, has been an entire success.
Mai. BARLEY, as Edward st. Clair the
Villain, was true to life, his voice Is
good and his acting fine. Mrs. BARLEY,
as Carrie Dalton, gave us the finest
piece of emotional acting ever witnessed
in Wellington. Dick. West, as Pete the
old negro, is simply immense, showing
himself capable not only of playing
fuany business, but he is also good in
emotional parts.i
But while we are speaking well of
the Major his Wife and Mr.. West we
must not forget our home talent.
DR.. Byron d. Palmer, as Dalton the
.sSPY" showed that his conception of
the part was not gained at a glance but,
the fruits of careful study. Mr.. Frank
Vaughn, as the staid old farmer, was
perfect both in makeup and action.
Mr.. Erwin Fisher, as Parke st. Clair
did the part of high toned Southern
gentleman like an old professional ac-
tor. jesse Flenner, in the character
of Jake Schneider, rather overdid his
part the first night, but last night his
rendition of the part was fine. Messrs.
ID. A. willard and w. II. Kirk, both
handled their parts finely, and showed
themselves good marksmen. Messrs'
Henry Biggs as Gen. Sherman; Char
lie Bush as Gen. Mcpherson and w. L.
Cook as Maj. Wilbur acquitted them
selves we'll, making fire appearance
In uniform and acting as true soldiers
MI. Geo. Howk as Sergt. Bates was
good. Miss Lizzie Humphrey in the
character of Maud Dalton was faI
above the generality of amateurs. Mis-:

any professional. And now last, but
not least, comes Little Willie, by Mas

that he has never had the part handled
