A Dangerous Secret Expos cd.

A RATHER romantic affair, with pa
thetic incidents, has developed in the
office of Col. Casey, the Commissioner
of Public Buildings, within the past few
days. The chief clerk of the office,
named Sunderland, is Scotchman who
has held the place for twelve years,
having rendered faithful serice during
all of that time. 1t Is said that he has
handled vouchers for over $4,000, 900,
and all his accounts have been kept in
the best manner. He was regarded by
Col. Casey as a very valuable man.
His salary has been $4,000 year. He
had a personal friend in the Office, for
whom he had obtained the appointment.
Five years ago he impaired the fact in
confidence to this man that he was de-
serter from the Seventh United States
Cavalry. 1t seems that he enlisted soon
after his arrival in this country, but not
liking the hard service under Custer, he
deserted and came to Washington. He
changed one of the letters of his name,
but did not hide at any time. and sue
ceeded in obtaining a clerkship. He
got into quarrel last week with his
friend in the Office, who revenged him.
self by revealing the fact that Sunder-
land was a deserter from the army.
There was nothing for the Adjutant-
General to do under the circumstances
except to direct that he be arrested, and
this was done to-day. He will, of course,
lose his place, and IL he is not court.
martialed, he will at least be given a
dishonorable discharge from the service,
which will prevent him from getting
any employment under the Government.
Sunderland married Washington lady
some years ago, and has family. The
case is a very hard one. Sunderland's
wife appeared at the Department to-day
to plead his case, but it was, of course,
useless for her TO do so. Sunderland
himself says he is glad the facts are
known, as the secret has long been a
burden to him, and he is relieved from
any further dread Of exposure Wash

THE NEXT DAY.


DR.. Tanner spent very quiet day to-
day, and saw very few visitors. His
physicians say he is improving rs well
as could be expected after such long
fast. During the early part of the
morning he chewed half pound of
beefsteak, only retaining the juice, and
part of some milk-toast and wine.
Shortly before noon he ate half a
pound of beefsteak and some pota-
toes which had been stewed in
milk. He was then weighed and
turned the scales at 126 pounds. About
every hour he partook of some nourish-
ing food or drink, which included wa
termelon, milk, potatoes stewed in
milk, ale, beef tea, bread and wine.
About six o'clock his weight was again
taken, and was found to be $50 pounds.
He was quite lively to-day, and frisked
about his room like schoolboy. His
physicians say his rapid recovery from
the effects of his long fast is something
