GEN. SWAIN.
The Numerous Charges Upon Which
He will he called to Account.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Major Scott Judge
advocate of the court martial appointed to
try Gen. Swain, has prepared the charges
count. The charges are:
First. Conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman.
Second. Neglect of duty
The specifications under the first charge
after reviewing the transaction between Gen.
Swain and Bateman, allege: First, the for
mer accepted from Bateman IL Co., an ac-
knowledgement Of deposit of So, 900 which
was simple memorandum, and after recall
ing all but s33 of that sum, he assigned and
transferred his written Acknowledgement to
the firm of Bright, Humphrey & Co., and did
knowingly and fraudulenty seek through
said firm to compel Bateman & Co. to cash
the $4,000 acknowledgement. Thus attempt
ing to commit fraud upon said Bateman
Il Co.
The second specification alleges that Gen.
Swain improperly sought personal inter
view with Bateman, to eyade and prevent an
investigation, and to obtain from him a let
ter retracting the charges preferred.
The third specification alleges that when
the grave and serious charges were referred
to Gen. Swain, and had been publicly circu-
lated, he failed to demand or request an in
vestgation by court of inquiry, but ad-
dressed letter of explanation and denial to
the secretary of war, which was evasive and
false, and intended to deceive the secretary
of war in several particuIars REGARDING the
transactions with Bateman.
The fourth specification alleges that Gea.
Swain, upon learning that certain bankers
had entered into combination to secure
reimbursement of the sundry sums of
money advanced by them to Lieut.. Col. A.P
Morrow, of the Sixth cavalry, on fraudule mt
pay accounts, and that the value of said
combination depended upon Col. Morrow's
immunity from trial for utterauce of fraudu-
lent pay accounts, did threaten to use
his official position and his KNOWLEDGE so as
TO cause the dismissal of Morrow from the
army, or to otherwise impair the value of the
securities given by Morrow to the bankers
unless they provided for the payment of the
claim of Sl15 held by him against Morrow.
The second charge, that of neglect of duty.
is based upon Gen. Swain's failure to report
the facts or procure the prosecution of Nor
row on the charge of duplicating paw ac-
counts. when evidence of the ofense came
to his knowledge, through information re-
ceived from Batemsn. 1t is understood that
further investigation is being made with
view Of bringing additional charges against
Gen. Swain. The charges against Col. Nor
row of duplicating pay accounts will be in
vestigated By the same court martial.

BosEMAN, July 30.-Bozeman, like an
cient Sparta is situated on plain walled in
by rugged mountains. This oasis of COM
paratively level country, five thousand feet
above the sea, thirty-five by twenty miles in
extent and watercd by the Gallatin river and
! its tributaries, is what Col. Ingersoll terms
the dimple on the fair cheek of Montana.
On entering its confines through the Boze-
man tunnel the scene reveals the picturesque
valley with its winding river, beyond and
around which rise gigantic masses of noun
tains. Here again are evidences of agricul-
| tural wealth. Bozeman is pleasantly situ-
ated at the eastern end of this valley.
| The city presents an unusually attractive
appearance, with its many substantial brick
structures, among which are business blocks,
churches, graded schools and a fine court
house.
The resident and suburban portion has
every appearance of an old Michigan town
with shaded streets, tasty lawns, and piazzas
verdant with trailing plants.
Bozeman is blessed with variety of re-
sources. The cereal product alone this wear
were sold last year from Bozeman. 1t is also
headquarters of some of the leading stock
raisers and shippers of the territory and dairy
farming ranks as no incon siderable resource.
Lastly the mineral wealth of which all Mon
tana boasts, rich outcroppings of copper,
iron. silver and gold are to be found in the
adjacent mountains. Bituminous coal is
successfully mined.

Long before Bozeman was reached large
posters announced the Democratic ratifca-

every township in the county.
The decoration of the hall, under the SUI
pervision of John Worth, with festoons and
flags and wresths of gay trimming, proved
the loyalty and enthusiasm of Cleveland's
admirers.
By O'Clock Palace theater was densely
packed, the galleries and private boxes, re-
served for ladies and their escorts, were
rapidly filed, while the stage and annex held

Yellow Fever Scare.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The surgeon gen.
eral of the marine hospital service yesterday
received telegram from DR.. Hatch, secre-
tary of the California board of health, dated
Sacramento, as follows:
Reliable information is received that a
Spanish opera troupe with baggage and per,
sonal effects were allowed to pass Nogales
without inspection or detention, although
fifteen Of the troupe had died few days pre-.
viously with yellow fever, which is assumin e
an epidemic form at Sonora.
The surgeon general Immediately tele-
graphed the collector of customs at Ell Paso,
Tex, for information, and directed the en-
ployment of another sanitary inspector to
take the place of the present officer If he is
found in fault in the case. To-day he re-
ceived telegram from the collector as

Trunk Line Meeting

New YORK, Aug. There was meeting
of the trunk line executive committee at the
Office of Assistant Commissioner Pierson to-
was transacted. The passenger pool con-
tract between the trunk lines and their west
ern connections, which has been extended
from month to month since April last, ex-
pired July 31st by limitation, Pierson stated
to-day that as long as such powerful roads
as the Grand Trunk, West Shore, and Del
aware, Lackawanna & Western refused to
come into the pool, the western roads had
decided by mutual agreement that it would
not be advisable to enter into any contract
which would comprehend so great an exten-
sion of powers as that contemplated in
the proposed agreement which was
drawn up in June. The contract for di-
vision of the earnings in the passenger
business which has heretofore existed be-
tween the trunk lines, was still in force, and
was in no way affected by the lapsing Of the
joint contracts. But how long the present
state of affairs might continue, he could not
tell, but he thought arrangements would in
all probability soon be perfected by which
the Grand Trunk would consent 20 come
/ into the pool and in that case all western
roads would without doubt Immediately ex-
ecute the proposed contract. Negotiations,
he said, were now pending with the Grand
Trunk road, and special agent of the trunk
line commission was now in Montreal in
conference with the officials of that road
with view to bring about this result. In re-
gard to the effect of the lapsing of the con-
tract Commissioner Pierson said it would NO
doubt result in more or less, probably more,
rate cutting in the west, as competition for
business among the western roads was very
| active and the roads would now no longer be
bound by the rules of the association. He
did not anticipate anything like general wal
of rates, but thought the cutting would fbt
confined to only few of the roads.

MADISON, Wis, Aug, 1.-The fish in
Fourth lake, principally perch, are dying at
the rate of scores of tons daily. Great guam
titles are being washed to the shore, and the
city authorities have employed large gang
of laborers, who are carting them outside the
city limits and burying them in the sand
banks. Although tons are thus removed
daily the quantity does not seem to be
lessened. AS yet no Inconvenience has
been suffered by the city on account of the
stencil. The city authorities are acting
promptly. Fish experts are unable to assign
any cause for the wholesale mortality.

oHLoRAL AND THE BRoMIpEs.

Again we have to record with deep regret
\ sad proof that those who give or take
choral or bromide of potassium for Sleep
lessness are guilty of o deplorahle error and
do grievous wrong. The narcotics which
poison sleep also deprave the highest nerve
centres, enfeeble tho controlling powers of
the will and leave the mind q prey to the
depressing influence of conscious loss of
;elf-respect and self-conhdence. The cul-
tured mind feels the ignominy of the intel
lectual and moral depreciation with great
ucutuners, nna IN the end Buccumbs to the
sense of powerlessness to recover self-con-
troll and do right. The deprivation wrought
is purely physical. The baneful influence
of the lethal-drug is, SO to say, organic.
The essential elements of the nerve tissues
are blighted by the SIMPLIFYING poison, rs by
alcohol in habitual drunkenness. In short,
the recourse to choral and bromide is pre-
cisely the same thing as recourse to alcohol.
The man or woman sent TO sleep the
hooking semblanee of physiological rest
by dose of either OF these narcotizers ia
simply intoxicated. No wonder that habit
ual drunkenness Of this class first impairs
and then destroys the vitality of the mind
organ, and places the subject Of a miserable
arIifice at the mercy Of his emotional nature,
and makes him the creature of his passions.
When will the public awake to the recogni-
ton of facts with regard to these most per-
nicious Of stupefacients? Persistence in
recourse TO them has no better excuse than
lnwillingness to search out the cause of the
wakefulness which prevents natural
lleep. London Lancet. rl4

would not be captious about it.
Prof. Bannister favored the coon rs an
emblem. It represented industry, vigil
ance and courage. Colored people were
often referred to as coons, anyhow, and the
emblem would cut both ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the matter
much thought, but his preference was for
an old hen sitting on about thirty -four
eggs. II that didn't represent industry

the only emblem he would vote for would

PACING VS.. TRoTrrNG.

A year ago we gave some statistics show.
ing the supremacy of the time record, pac.
ing and trotting, covering period of about
forty years. In that period the trotters
were able to seize the supremacy over the
PAGERS only twice, and to hold it but q brief
srace. AS we entered the present year we
found Johnston at the head of the list, with
Maud 5. but quarter OF second behind.
Not content with this secondary position,
the queen of the trotters made a dash for
the sovereignty and won by quarter of
second, writing 2:09s opposite her name,
which was rs much OF surprise to hei
owners rs to the public. This placed the
trotters again in the 'front.' and for the third
time in forty years, but the trimph, won.
derful as it was, only remained triumph
for few short weeks. Johnston the PAGER,
challenged the figures ON the blackboard,
wiped them out and put in their place 2:063
and thus tho contest stands at the close of
the year 1884, with the PAGER still in the
ascendancy. He made no half way work of
it by clipping off u fraction of second at n
time, but in one grand effort sent three and
o half seconds to the bad. Thus 2;08i is
the present demonstrated speed of the
PAGER, and will any man have the temerity
TO say that figure will not be beaten by Q
irotter? We were once foolish enough &c
think 2:10 was about the limi. of the trotter
and he would there stop from the force OF
physical impossibilities, but in getting a
stronger grasp OF the laws of heredity and
development we were forced to abandon q
possible limitation of speed rs an untenable
hypothesis. That the mile will yet be coy-
sred by both the trotter and the PAGER in
less than two minutes we have not shadow
of doubt. The startling performances of
Winship, trotting, and Westmont, pacing
with running mates TO pull the load, simply
demonstrated the possibility of breeding
horse that could do this without any help
from runner Wdlldce's Monthly.
