An Incident of Abraham Lincoln.

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
An interesting incident, developing further
the peculiar characteristic of the late Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln, was brought to light
in the Acknowledgements Office, War Depart
ment, several days ago. 1t appears that
during the late war a drummer-boy who had
enlisted in an Illinois regiment was taken ill
during service, and had to be sent nome,
Owing to various complications, he could
not secure a surgeons discharge for disabil-
ity. His case being serious and his discharge
necessary, his mother applied by letter to
President Lincoln for the desired relief. Mr..
Lincoln at once Endorsed the letter, Dis
charge this boy-A. Lincoln" and returned
it to the mother, and her son was shortly
afterward discharged. Since the war the
drummer has died, and lately his mother
applied for a pension. The papers were
forwarded to the Adjutant-general's Office,
and there was a mighty effort among clerks
and officials to secure the Endorsement in
Mr.. Lincoln's own handwriting as a souvenir,
the idea being to substitute it with a "true
copy" The r~elic-hunters were baffled, how
ever, and the papers, according to law, will
be preserved intact.

A DOUBLE CRIME.

Evidence of Murder in an East Side
Sporting HOuse-An investigation in
Progress.
Information was given to the police
Yesterday that an infanticide had been
committed at the Jenny Lind sporting
house, on Crawford square, in the east
tern part of the city. The Coroner
was notified, and an examination
of the premises was made. 1t was
rumored that a new born infant had been
murdered by piercing the head through
the temples with a sharp pointed mstru-
ment, and that the body had been thrown
into a privy vault. The investigation
failed to discover the body, but another
was found, having possibly been
dispOsed of in similar way. The eXami-
nation will, however, be continued, when
it is believed that more light will be thrown
upon the first discovery. Two parties
are already under arrest and the case
when completed may implicate several
others. From the evidence already
gathered it is believed that an abortion
had been effected and the body discovered
was the result of the operation. The de-
tails of the crime are suppressed by the
authorities until the investigation is COM
Dlete.

A rAMous RAILRoAp cAsE.

The Mitchell Claim Against the Charles
ton and savannah Railway to be Paid.
The case of Daniel Hand against the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad CON-
pany was opened before Judge Cothran at
Charleston on Monday. A number OF
leading attorneys were present. Inc
Neaes and Courier says the first thing
done was the reading, by Hon. Henry
Buist. of the report and supplemental re-
port of Referee Pringle in the main cause;
filed respectively January 70, 1888, ana
February 5. 1888. Hon. c. G. Memmlnger,
on behalf of c. T. Mitchell, Esq, read
and argued exceptions to the sala
report. Hon. Henry BUST and Col. =. ~;
Simonton took the same view as that nelu
bv Mr.. Memminger, they representing the
banks who loaned the money to MI.
Mitchell to build the Bees Ferry extern
sion. Mr., Asher d. Cohen said that
though he represented the 6 per cent.
bondholders who declined and still decline
to come into the pool formed for the pur-
chase of the property, he yet opposed lhe
stand taken by the counsel VINO had pre-
ceded him.
Mr.. T. NJ. Hanckel agreed substantially
with Mr.. Cohen in the opinion that 1t
would be injudicious to open TINS questlOh
by sustaining the exceptions made 10 the
report.
Mr.. E. McCrady, ST., said that his chief
object was to bring about termination OF
the suit. 1t seemed to him the only way to
reach this end would be by a consent OF
the counsel to some common arrange
ment.
Mr.. John Wingate following said he
represented different classes of bondhold-
ers, and he also wanted speedy end TO
the litigation.
Mai. w. ii. Brawley was willing to have
arv distribution of the fund that would
be fair for the payment of the Mitchell
claim.
1t was finally agreed that an order to
this effect should be drafted for presenta-
ton to the Judge for his signature.
Mr.. John NJ. Guerard, an attorney OF
Savannah, Ga, then presented a petition
for the payment to him of counsel fees.
The claim was accepted as meritOrious
one, the amount of the same to be fixed
when the fees due to other counsel was
settled, when an order was also passed
discharging Mr.. Mitchell as receiver.

al. and the matter of counsel fees came
