seem to come from an inversion Of the
proper relations of public offices and those
holding them, and il is an idea not suited
10 our institutions While holding the
views now and heretofore expressed, IL is
deemed to be for the public interest that
the proceedings in this case be not without
a result, and, therefore, the proceedings,
findings and sentence in the foregoing case
of General, David G.. Swain,
Judge Advocate General, U. ;. A., are APP
proved, and the sentence will be duly
executed
(signedl CHESTER A. ARTHUR
General Swain may be placed on the re-
tired list December -, 1896. 1t will he
noticed that the sentence of the court as
approved by the President, suspends him
from Office up to and beyond the date OF
his possible retirement. The trial of Gen.
Swain on the charge of having violated
ths Goth article was in having sold forage
issued 10 him for his personal use, resulted
in an honorable acquittal. The President
also approved the findings and sentence of

Young summer breathing warmth and love

And oh our hearts 30 rarely beat, ans. oh, twas
sweet to he,
For was ali 70 you, ma belle, and you we're all to

A year ago. my iariing'-it seems weary
while,
Aud Moira Vale is gloomy now, and fading sum

The green leaves wither on the boughs, the ten

And passed forever nom the world the glory II
has known.

Kentucky Tragedy.

LOUISVILLE, Feb. 27.-Information was
received by the Courier-.jourhal tonight
of a horrible tragedy in Union county.
Kentucky A farmer named Nose Cation,
living near Smiths Mills. Union county,
and his sons. last Saturday, hung his wife,
who he married four years ago. She was
a widow lady before she married Cation,
and owned small parcel of land, which
Cation wished her TO deed To him. She
declined TO do so, which enraged MIN.
Saturday, with his sons, he took her out
and hung her, after beating her terribly.
They put the corpse in a box and took it in
the house The ladies and neighbors in
dressing the corpse for burial discovered
bruises and broken neck They re-
ported the matter 10 the authorities, who
had the body disinterred and ordered
the arrest of Cation and sons. Twenty men,
led by the county magistrate, went to
Cations house. ARRIVING there they met
with resistance on the part Of the Cations
whereupon they fired upon them, wound
ing Nose Cation in the ankle and John
Cation through the lung. Cations daugh-
ter, Annie, in attempting 10 shield her
father by passing between him and the posse
was shot in the bowels. Squire Lilly
finally stopped the firing and
asked Cation TO surrender. He would
not; they told him they would kill lin and
burn the house down. He decided to give
up. Squire Lilly started off with his pris-
oners-Mose Cation. Wesley Cation. John
Gator. Tom. Caton and Joseph +. Fritz
and landed them safely in Jail at Morgan
field. John and Annie are both badly
wounded.

shameful Treatment.

PfTTsBURG, February 26.-Wm. Jackson
Moore, of Triaelphia, Washington county,
came to to this city to-day for the purpose
of obtaining legal advice concerning some
property. of which he claims he has been
deirauded by relatives. Moore. who is 81
years of age, tells wonderful story of
privations and sufierings. He claims that
for eleven years his step-daughter and her
husband kept him prisoner in a cellar,
and that he was not permitted to leave his
prison except occasionally at night. when
he would he allowed 10 walk about with
his arms bound with ropes. Some days
ago he missed his usual allowance of food,
which was passed to him through small
hole in the door, and hraring no sound in
the house he determined to make his es-
cape, and with a large stone that had
worked loose from the wall battered the
door down. His relatives were nowhere
TO he seen, and with the money which he
found in one of the drawers he came to
Pittsburg Previous to his imprisonment,
he says, he was forced to make his will in
favor of his step-daughter, and on the day
previous to his incarceration the neighbors
were informed that the old man was going
TO Michigan.

WASHINGTON, February 26.-Tbe Pa
cific Railroad funding bill introduced in
the Senate by Hoar differs from the bill on
the same subject reported from the Senate
Committee on Judiciary rs an amendment
to the House bill. In several important
particulars these differences are substan-
TALLY as follows: Ii fixes the date for the
ascertanment of the Indebtedness of the
company on April lst, lss6. instead of
1855, and provides that in computing the
Indebtedness and deducting therefrom the
amounts in the sinking funds the value of
any bonds in such sinking funds shall be
computed at their market value. IL pro-
vides that bonds under redemption to be
delivered To the Secretary OF the Treasury
by the companies shall mature on the ex-
pIration of each six months beginn-
ing with October lst lSs6. The
Committees bill provides that bondsunder
redemption shall bear interest at the rate
of 3 per cent per annum for the time each
bond has To run interest on each TO be
payable semi-annually), and that each
of the bonds shall be for the usual one
hundred and twentieth part of the balance
of the debt and interest thereon computed
as due the United States at the time the
bonds are issued.
The House bill provides that each of the
bonds shall he for the same sum, which
sum shall be ascertained by adding TO the
balance the Indebtedness computed To the
time the bonds are issu-d. interest at 3 per
cent per annum from that date to the av
erage date OF the maturity of the bonds,
and dividing such aggregate amount by l20.
Ii contains also IN addition To the provis-
ions of the judiciary committees bill
clause providing that every disposition of
any stock, bonds or other securities OF 9TH
er corporations now owned by any COM
pany whether by sale or otherwise, shall be
reported to the Secretary OF the Interior
within 80 days, and the clause authorizing
each company to expend in each year what
ever sums are necessary to MAINTAIN Its
railroad rolling stock, equipments and
operating property of every description M
as good condition as the same now are, and
in all respects in proper condition to
do the business of such company.
All the provisions authorizing and di-
recting the Secretary of the Treasury TO re-
quire companies TO pay out any balance OF
the net income left IN any year after the
requirements of this act have been COM
piled with. and after the payment of such
sums as are required for the maintenance
and improvement of their railroad, equip
ments and appurtenances and dividends,
not exceeding six per cent per annum on
their individual capital stock, such sums
not to exceed ten per centum, and such
balance as he may think proper OF the
money so paid, TO be invested by him in
a sinking fund, to he held by him as
additional security for the payments of the
bonds redemption.
