The Latest Outrage That Has Disgraced
the Signal Service.
From The PhiladelDhjd Times

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-After the I'M
pleasant affair of the Fort Myer court
martial, and the public criticism the con-
duct of Geh. Hazen evoked, it was pre-
sumed the Signal Corps would give the
country a brief rest. 1t has been but
very brief one, however. Tue Signal
Corps comes to the front to-day again in
the commission of an outrage which NAV
prove the biggest difficulty Gen. Hazen
has vet got into. William Storch is a
grandson of Nathaniel Magruder, an old
aud respected citizen Of Georgetown, and
is an enlisted man and student in
the Signal Corps school at Fort
Myer. Young Storch went off
a snort time ago and was absent some

and reporting to his command. He was
Immediately thrown into a dungeon and
left there, it is stated, until 1T was shown
that the young man had periodical at
tacks of dementia and was not RESPONSE
Bile for his acts. Since that time John
Amber Smith has furnished Gen. Hazen
with medical and other proof Of the young
mans condition, and requested their con-
sGeration in dealing with him. 1t seems
the signal student is again missing.
Last night, about IL O'clock. two brutal
soldiers were sent over to Georgetown.
without exhibiting any warrant or other
authority they made descent upon old
man Magruder's residence, turned him
out Of his bed, halt frightened four elderly
ladies to death and ransacked the house.
Mr.. Magruder is 81 years of age, and, be-
ing the only man in the house, the female
inmates were at the mercy of the soldiers.
The night was dark and stormy, and there
was no one to go for assistance. The Ser
geant and private claimed that the de-
serter was there, and that they We're acting
under orders from their superior officers.
The family say both men were under the
influence of liquor. The old man is COM

said to be in danger.
Steps will be taken to ascertain the re-
sponsibility for this outrage. which even
in time of war is rare, and the power of

THE COTTON WORM.
Its Ravsges Upon the Staple and Reme-
dies for Its Destruction.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 26.-Within
the next two weeks there will be publish
ed by the Agricultural Department here
the final report of the chronological Com
mission on the cotton worm and It's rava-
ges. This will be volume of nearly 400
pa es, will contain all the information
which the commission has been able
to gain by it's three years research. In
tact the work was begun as early as 1873.
The Commission consists of PrOfs. c. V.
Riley, A. S. Packard and Cyrus Thomas,
and their work Will render an invaluable
aid TO the cotton producing regions.
The report is obtained thus early from
advance proOf-sheets. This summary of
the contents OF the volume cannot be bet
ter introduced than by quotation from
the preface.
''The character of the investigation
was novel. There was no precedent to
guide or warn. The number of persons
capable, through experience, of intelli-
gent field work in economic entomology
was, until quite recently, remarkably
small, so that the organization of the
force TO assist in the work was largely
experimental and more difficult than it
would have been had trained observers
been at command. Under these circum-
stances, the satisfactory manner ia which,
with rare exceptions, the different agents
have performed the tasks assigned to
tbem isa all themoTRIt b. be commended.
70 all OF them ana b. the many CORE
spOndeuts who have so generously and
willingly assisted, the commission ten
ders its sincere thanks"
OF course, the following synopsis must
necessarily be brief. but the endeavor is
made 20 cover all the points. To begin
with, the commission sent out a large
number of inquiries. BY these IL was en-
deayored 10 ascertain the past history Of
The cotton worm, the influence of the
weather upon the insect; the statistics Of
losses in the various localities, and the
migration OF the moths. In reply to these
and from the observations Of the various
commissioners the book was compiled.
The irst chapter discusses the destruct-
iyeness OF the cotton worm. The second
chapter takes up the habits and natural
history, showing that il has distinct states
Of growth, that the egg is always laid on
the leaf, and that the eggs OF certain
harm ess insects are often mistaken for
the cotton worm. The real cotton worm
rarely feeds on anything but the cotton
plant. 10 has a peculiar jumping habit,
and never burrows in the ground.
The moth has wonderful prolihcacy, the
time averaging only a month from one
generation 20 another. The former opin-
ions In regard 10 the time when she worm
appears We're all erroneous. The dates
OF appearance are variable, but worms Of
all sizes are found Ia Southern Georgia
and Florida about March 20. The first
appearance is always meeger and they
