ne case of Surgeon Owen, U. S. n
WASHINGTON Dao % A c,ooaro1 -.

The Case of Surgeon Owen, U. S. n.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-A general or
der was issued from the Navy Department
this afternoon announcing the findings of
the court martial in the case of Surgeon
Alfred NJ, Owen, U. S. n, who was tried
ON the charges Of conduct to the prejudice
OF good order and discipline and of un-
professional conduct unbecoming a medi-
cal oflcer of the navy. The specifica-
Ilohs aliege that between August 28th and
september "a, 1882, he repeatedly advised
ana urged Alfred Hopkins, then a Captain
III Ine United states navy and in COM
mand OF the navy yard near Pensacola.
RIA, at the time when the yellow fever
was prevailing in that city, to leave the
station without being regularly relieved,
Well knowing that Hopkins did not have
permission from the proper authority to
so absent himself from his command.
1he court acquitted Surgeon Owen of
Doth charges, but the Secretary of the
Navy dsapproved of the findings of the
court, but ordered Surgeon OWENS re-
lease from arrest, and that he return to
his station and resume his duties. Secre-
tary Chandler holds that the evidence
shows that Surgeon Owen, in urging and
endeayOring to shield the unlawful de-
parture of Captain Hopkins, acted with
fuII knowledge and deliberate purpose,
and should share in Hopkins punish
ment.
Just before the closing of the trial the
court asked the accused whether his du-
ties were not much increased during the
epidemic, and, if so, to what extent, and
allowed him to reply that they We're, and
to enlarge upon these questions by stating
that he had the care of LOO people
gratuitOusly, investigating every case
OF sickness among them, work
ing night and day, enforcing quar-
antine regulations, allowing no person to
go in or out without his written permis-
sion, communicating with and advising
the boards of health of neighbOring cities.
and making to the National Board of
Health the earliest report on
August 18th of the appearance of
yellow fever at Pensacola, and also per-
mitted him to introduce letters and tele-
grams showing that he offered to leave the
yard and go to the assistance of the sick
and destitute in the city of Pensacola. for
which offer he received the thanks of the
Pensacola Board of Health, which desired
that the high esteem in which they held
HIM should be made known in Washing
ton, and the court thereupOn acquitted the
accused on both charges

COWBOYS LYNCHED.

A Desperate Gang Exposed i'm Oregon.
DALLEs, ORE, Dec. 2S.-The following
particulars have been obtained of the
lynching of cowboys in Prineville, Crook
county, Oregon: For several years
past the stOck-raisers of that sec
tiOn and of Beaver Greek have complained
of frequent raids of horse thieves. About
two weeks ago about thirty head were
taken from Prineville. The stealing has
been done by an organized band, whose
members are scattered throughout East
ern Oregon. They are so well organized
and so perfectly acquainted with the
country that their capture and
conviction has been almost an impOssi-
bility. The stOckmen organized and
gathered evidence, showing who the
thieves were. The capture Of some of the
weakest of the band and the judicious use
of the rope has brought out a full confess
sion as to who the members are.
r. G. SwartZ and JnO, Sharpe were the
leaders of the thieves here. sWartZ in
some way found out that the business had
leaked out, and he came into town and
boasted of the strength of his party and
threatened to kill whoever attempted to
interfere with them. Last Friday even
ing while sitting at table in saloon he
was shot through the neck, his assailant
firing through a window. The same
night band of masked men
broke into W. c. Bame's
house, captured Sid Houston and
Chris Luster, took them about mile
away and hung them to a tree. j. w es-
ton was also shot thrice through the head.
Who the lynchers are is a matter of
conjecture, but their actions appear to
meet with the hearty approval of the en-
tire community. The rest of the band
have escaped, but vigilants are on their

TENNESSEE'S DEBT.


The January Interest Not to be Paid.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. 28.-State
Treasurer Polk, in an interview with a
reporter to-day, authorized the statement
that he has determined not to pay the Jan
uary interest on the funded Tennessee
bonds. In explanation of this course the
Treasurer says: Il feel that / should be
governed by the will of the people, when
an expression of that will has been had in
a legal manner that cannot be questioned.
Such an expression has been had.
My individual views were freely and fully
stated on the debt question while the mat

one rendered, but the people have spoken
at the ballOt-bOX, the only legiti-
mate test of public opinion, and
while holding still to the view that for
Tennessee it would have been best other
wise, and hoping that the wisdom of her
sons in the Assembly may yet so see it, l
nevertheless, in obedience to the over
whelming sentiment as legitimately ex-
pressed, that first another tender shall be
made to our creditors, have determined
not to pay the interest falling due in Jam
uary, and as | regard myself, in my Off
cial capacity, as the agent of the people,
therefore feel it my duty to take no step in
the premises that may embarrass further
this already complicated question"

THE FINAL SCENE IN A FAMOUS

Miss Sturla's IrOnicaI Speech on Being
Sentenced to ImprisOnment,

Sentenced to Imprisonment.
The final proceedings in the famous
Stles-Stur1a case, which has so long at
tracted public attention in Chicago. oc-
Cured last Friday in the criminal court
before Judge Gardner. Miss Sturla en-
tered the room smiling, and gave every
evidence of being in excellent health as
well as in fine spirits, until sha caught
sight of Richard Stiles, who was sitting
near Mr.. Mills table, and who, she seemed
70 think, had come there to gl0at over her.
Her c0untenanee changed at once: her
Italian blood mounted to her cheeks. and
she gave him a look that neither he nor
those who witnessed it will soon forget
When the court had been convened. Mr..
Trude, counsel for the defense, said that
no effort would be made to set aside the
verdict, ard she Judge thereupon SEN
fenced Miss Sturla to one years impris
onment.
When asked if she had anything to say
Miss Sturia looked out for moment AT
the daylight which streamed in al the
window in front of which she stood. and
then, liking her eyes ON the Judge, ad-
dressed him as follows: 81 am perfectly
satisfied, your Honor, and / go with the
pleasant recollection that nine iurymen
stood by me, and of the two thar were
against me, Mr.. Forbes Sad Mr., Tobias.
Mr.. Forbes was q man that kept a honsp
of ill-fame at one time in Sioux Civ, his
son being killed by woman whom he had
seduced, and Mr.. ToAias was put ON to
convict me aad ne failed. That was the
reason Of nine Of the jurors standing bv
me-. My lawyer tried to have him put off
the jury, but it was not allowed. That is
all have to say, thank you"
AS the woman delivered this brief ora
tion she was a picture, those who saw her
during the triaf would not have dreamed
her capable of the ironical accent and
contemptuous curl of the lips with which
she spoke, and they would have been
equally surprised to have witnessed the
imperious sweep of the hand which at
tended the return of thanks to the court.
She withdrew from the court in company
with the bailiff in whose charge she has
been since the beginning eI the trial. and
returned to the Jail TO await her removal
to Joliet, which will occur in few davs.
She has gained nearly ten pounds since
her incarceration aud is looking remarka-

A STRANGE STAGE ACCIDENT.
Miss Lillian Spencer Actually ShOtWhiIe
Playing Cora in "ArticIe Az

Rochester Specidl Dec. Sf.
Miss Lillian Spencer, the actress, during
performance at the COrinthian Academy
of Music, in this city, tonight, received
severe pistol shot wound in the left side of
her face, which brought the representa-
ton to a sudden close and caused much
excitement in the audience. The play
was a dramatizatiOn of Adolph Belot's
"L'Article Az" in which Miss Spencer
was Cora, the adventures, and Mr.. Ar
thur ii, Forrest, George puhmel, her low
er. The play is well known because of Miss
Clara Morris powerful impeTsonation
Of the heroine: In the first
Cora threatens to leave "Duhamel.u He
produces a pistol, which she seizes and a
struggle ensues, after which, in the play,
the woman is shot. Tonight during the
struggle the revolver was accidentally
discharged while in close proximity to
Miss Spencer's face, and she fell to the
floor with scream. The audience at first
seemed to think this was a part of the
play, but when Forrest leaned oyer che
PROSTATE WQmap and exclaimed, sob, my
God What have done" and then or
dered the curtain to drop, all present
imagined that another Frank Frayne
tragedy had been enacted.
Considerable commOtion followed, but
it was soon announced that, although Miss
Spencer had not been seriously injured
she would be unable to proceed in the
play. She tainted, and medical aid was
called, when it was found that she had
only resolved a severe flesh wound.
Strangely enough the wound is in the
same place as the one Cora is supposed to
receive in the play. The report that an.
other stage murder had been committed
spread like Wildare, and it was a long
time before the crowd that gathered in
front of the Academy could be convinced
that nothing so SERIOUS lad happened
Miss Spencer was removed to her hotel in
a carriage. It is expected that she will
be able to complete her engagement here
tomorrow night. In future il is apparent
that she viii nos be Obliged to fefgn, in
the latter acts of Belot's lurid play, that
she carries a scar resulting from the shot
fired by her lover.

WESTERN UNION.
Further Proceedings in the Injunction
Suits.

6uAISs
NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-In the Western Un-
ion Telegraph Company litigation in this
city to-day upon the settlement of the or
ders which embody the results Of the recent
hearings in the suit of Hatch and Williams
against the company, the applications of
Hatch and Williams for an. injunction
against the further transfer of any of the
company's shares and the payment of any
and all dividends was denied as to all the
features of their several applications ex-
cept as to the payment of
the dividends of 1X per cent
lately declared. This dividend, the
court holds, could be lawfully
paid up all except the $4,000, 900 of stock
which had been distributed to the old
stockholders of the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. Upon the company's represen-
retransfers this $15,000,000 of stock had
become largely indistinguishable from
the balance, the court ordered that upon
the filing of bond equal in amount to u
per cent. upon this 5000, 900, condition
ed that if the Court of Appeals should
finally hold that the $15,000,000 of stock
was itself not illegal or void, the compa-
ny, upon the filing of the bond, should be
at liberty to pay dividend upon the $15,-
000,0 900 with the rest.
Judge ArnouX to-day rendered his de-
cision upon the motion heard by him yes
terday in the suit of Josiah G. Reiff
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company and its directors to restrain the
alleged intended issue by the company of
bonds with which to purchase and retire
$15,529,5 $50 of stock, which was issued
under the consolidation agreement to the
stockholders of the company. The Judge
denies the motion.

THE CREEK TROUBLES.


ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2S.-The latest dispatch
from Indian Territory says: "Chicota's

eche's band lost as many more. Spi-
eche and his party have gone into
the Cherokee Nation, but he is expected
to return again and keep mp the disturb
ance. Reinforcements are Fastening to

Captain Bates, with a detachment of
United States troops, is also there, and
soldiers have been ordered to Eufaula,
where there is. a great deal of
excitement, many of the wo-
men and children having been
sent away for safety. The trouble grew
out of an old political division of the tribe
into what is known as the loyal and dis
loyal parties during the war. Spieche is
now at the head of the loyal party, or
what has been known as the Sands fac
ton, and ChicOta and the principal chiefs
of the Nation are, Of course, at the head
of the party in power. He
has some eight hundred armed
men under him, and Spieche is said to be
nearly rs strongly supported. Both par
ties are armed with all sorts Of weapons
