ESPECIAL TO THE sENIiNEL.l
CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Cadet Hartigan, Of
the first class at West Point. has just been
dismissed for hazing. He was o new
cadet, and was one of the best students in
his class, and the summary action taken
in his case will, it is believed, cause the
cadets to understand that Secretary Lin
coin is in earnest in his determination to
stop hazing. The report Of Col. Merritt,
on which the Secretary acted, sets forth
the circumstances Of the case. The new
cadet was on post as a sentinel At TT. Gin
ton. About II O'Clock ct night q number
Of masked cadets, some in white sheets,
surrounded him and continued to harass
him in various ways. At length he called
the Corporal Of the Guard and they dis
persed. Soon after they returned. Cadet
Hartigan had on q sword, and on ap-
preaching the post was challenged. He
then personated the Officer OF the Day,
obtained the countersign and proceeded to
correct the sentinel in his method OF chal-
lenge. After many petty annoyances
H~artigan ordered the sentinel to face out
ward on his post, when the accomplices OF
Hartigan seized him from behind, covered
his face and threw him into the deep ditch
which ia around the fort, bruising him
considerably. Hartigan was recognized
by the sentinel, and two others we're also
recognized. One OF them was Cadet Clarke
of the first class, and the other Cadet
Williams of the third. The part they took
in the matter, beyond the fact that they
were about the sentinel post at the time,
was not very clear, and Col. Merritt rec
commended that their punishment be left
to the authorities Of the Academy.

bers.

rs miles west of Dallas. built by the Texas
Pacific Railroad, were set or fire on Mon.
day night. The engineer OF the east

shortly after midnight discovered the fire
Just in time to stop within . few yards OF
the structure. No ooner was the fire ex-
tinguished than the eastern bridge, over
which the engine had not passed, was also
seen burning. This fire was soon extin-
guished. Both bridges were repaired
and the train passed over safely. The par
ties who intended to rob the train were de-
TERED from making the attempt by the
discovery that q detachment Of the United
States military and 8 or 10 Texas Rangers
we're on board, and who had shown them
selves when the train stopped at the first
bridge. Several mounted armed men
were seen to emerge from . clump Of
