A spent ball, striking with dull thud like
stone thrown by some strong armed man,
often caused more pam TO the man struck, and
more commotion in the ranks, than bullet
that tore through mans leg or arm A spent
ball always @slipped up" on you. 1t always
came when least you expected it, from an un-
IOoked-eor direction, and struck part of the
body not expecting 70 be hit. So 10 always pro-
dueed a stunning effect. In some regiments
spent balls were universally called "stunners,"
and very many men had painful and uncOm-
Portable experiences with them. Some day the
men lounging in line of battle, protected by a
hill and listening TO the vOleys on the right,
would be disturbed by the cOntortiOns of a man
who had been asleep. A spent ball had struck
his foot and without breaking the shoe leather
had made him crazy with pain. Another would
be hit in the region of the stomach and labor
under the impression that his entrail5 had been
torn out Another, struck on the hand, would
veil like an Indian. whereas had bullet gone
through his body, he would have shut his lips
and uttered not a groan. The boys had theory
that these spent balls came from the awkward
squad of the enemy, and that the air up a little
distance was full of them. The spent balls
were no respectOrs Of persons They demoral-
lied men in shOulder-straps as well as men in
blOuses. At Chickamauga, Gen. Whitaker,
storming forward at the head of his brigade,
was struck in the abdomen. Deathly sick and
faint, he called to Gen. Granger:
General, am bit in q bad place. Who'll
take charge Of my bOys2"
Granger replied: "Ill do it myself and
sOrrowfully sent his favorite Brigadier to the
rear Whitaker riding along rearWard, con-
eluded to see the extent Of his wound. IN
buttoning his coat he found no blood. Under
clothing was not stained or punctured. There
was no wound in the flesh Realizing that he
had been hit by spent ball, Whitaker wheeled
his horse, and in a towering rage gallOped back
to the scene Of battle. Dashing up to the COM
mauder of the reserve, he roared, "Fm not
wounded worth damn; I'll run this brigade
myself; +" and he did,

The District Commissioners have addressed
letter to Hon. George Ford, OF the House Dis
trict committee, saying: ''The Commissioners
have the honor to make the following response
to your request Of the 9th instant for certain
information and their views of Senate bill
1889 to amend the police regulations of the
District of Columbia There is no existing law
authorizing police magistrates to make COM
mitments to the House of the Good Shepherd,
but the police frequently take persons Of the
class referred to in this bill to that Institution,
where they are received and cared for. There
is no place where these persons can be lawfully
sent except to the workhouse, and, under act of
February 13, 1885, entitled AN act for the pro-
lection of children in the District of Columbi
and for other purposes to IAN orphan asylum or

thorities of said asylum or institution. The

Offenders as are under Is years of age and

the Good Shepherd seem to have rendered sat-

HANDCUFFED.-Sherif Scaggs, of Prince
Georges county, Nd, drove to the city yester-
day and lett his carriage ut Prices stable, near
police headquarters, leaving a pair of hand
ifs in the carriage. During the afternoon the
stablemen got the handouts and put them on
one OF the colored men who was at work in the
stable and could not get them off again. After
trying to pick the lock all the afternoon the
colored man went to police headquarters in
the evening, but the officers there were unable
to get the iron handouts off and he had to go
to bed with them on. This morning when
Sheriff Scaggs went to the stable and found the
colored man handcuffed he told him that his
keys were at his home in Maryland and it
would be some time before he could be released.
After enjoying the fright of the colored man
the sheriff produced his keys and took the
irons OH.
