General Superintendent Herrin and Train
master Kouns to this city passed Hearne, the
engineer observed man walking on the
track. He blew his whistle and rang his bell,
but the man paid no attention to it. The

Throwing him upwards, he fell on the cow
catcher and was then hurled off the track.
The train was stopped, and it was then found
that the man had his head crushed in, his ear
cut of, and was much bruised. The surgeon
was sent for, and after examining the wounds
declared that, although he was much injured
there was good hope that he would recover.

The Facts About His Second Marriage Au-

The San Francisco Alta-California con-
tains the following letter in regard to Lieut..
Simpson, whose sentence by court-martal
for marrying his mistress President Arthur
refused to approve:
THE facts connected with this marriage
are, and they are known to most every citi-
zen in the city of Prescott, Ariz, as follows:
Lieut. Simpson returned from leave of alb
sence some time early in the spring He
went on leave to see his sick wife who was
too i'll to accompany him to this department..
For month or two after his return he man
Tested great grief at her death, and he re-
ceived the sympathy of all the officers at
this station. All at once his grief was over.
He had met his second fate, and he married
his mistress Mistress forsooth; she was
no more his mistress than she was of any
man who went to her with the Sti pulated price
for her favors + Il Simpson knew it. and
he married her. When the story OF
his marriage was first bruited he denied it, He
lied about it. He asserted that it was not true.
and his brother officers believed him. Then
the truth came out. He took her from this
brothel to magistrates office, where he was
married. and he lied at the ceremony. He
did not sign his own name in the records of
the magistrate, but falsely gave another name.
y And yet this is the gentleman and
this the lady that the action of the authori-
ties at Washington has forced upon the army
as fit associates for the wives and daughters
of brave men and true, who have done only
as would have done all true men, purged
themselves of such faint upon their honor
Can there be anything but contempt and
loathng for a man so low, so lost to all feel
sing, to all sense of shame, as to confer upon
the keeper of frontier brothel-a heIl-hoe
of iniquity-the sacred name of wife? Out
on such man. He does not deserve the
title. In justice to the army, and especially
to that part of it IN the territory of Arizona,
whose views to a man coincide with those
expressed above, ask the publication OF this
letter, and as the writer 1 request my name

once put forward my skirmish line, which
was met by the enemy's at once. Knowing
that Jackson intended to strike me a blow,
and If possible crush me in the absence of
Banks, l resolved to meet him and decide
the matter. The line of battle was formed
rapidly on ridge with a gentle slope to the
left, and the right resting against some
woods After the fight had lasted
some time Jackson resolved to throw
a heavy force in the woods on my
right That he hoped to move unobserved
until it gained the road to Winchester, and
thereby cut off my retreat But knowing the
sly old fox was fighting, 1 sent back for
brigade to occupy the woods and prevent
that move. 1t arrived in time to meet the
enemy, that had really passed my line and
could soon have taken my right in reverse,
and forcing me over to the left, occupied the
road to Wi chester and pressed my forces
down on the Shenandoah, where there was
no ford. Jackson, seeing his advance in the
woods checkmated, pressed it with great
stubbornuess. In the meantime I saw the
desperate conflict there and formed strong
skrmish line Sc that the enemy
could not tell that my left and
center was weakened, took consd-
cradle force and led a charge in person on
Jackson's left center, at the same time signal
ing to the general commanding the brigade
in the woods to press there as hard as posi-
BILE. When the column led by myself struck
the enemy it broke the left center and that
compelled the left to retire. then ordered
a general advance and drove Jackson back
several miles General Kearney said to me
1T was well for you that you defeated jack
son, for in case of a defeat you would have
been court-martiaed for weakening your left
and center SO much The old war-horse
looked at me and said it was to destroy jack
sons left or be not only defeated but routed.
