Color Line In the Army.

A Special dispatch from Washing
ton. reports q revocation Of a recent
Or der which transferred Second Lieu.
tenant Charles Young from the Ninth
Cavalry to TIM Twenty-ffth Infan.
try. Young is one of the two col.
ored officers in the line Of the army
After graduation from West Point
he was first assigned to the Tenth
Cavalry, one of the two colored reg
iments of the army. But it being
foreseen chat the early occurrence of
a vacancy would necessitate his pro.
motion to a command in a white reg
iment, he was transferred to the
Twenty>Fifth, a colored infantry
regiment. He and his friends pro.
tested against this as doing him an
injustice on account of color. A re-
cent casualty in the Ninth Cavalry
opened an opportunity of escape from
the difficulty, and therefore the order
transferring him to the Twenty
Fifth Infantry was revoked, and he
was on Saturday last assigned to the
Ninth Cavalry, colored regiment.

A Bride Widowed by Her Mother and q
Former Lover.

Former Lover.
SAVANNAH, Ga, Dec. 12.-From the
banks of the Little Ohoopee river comes
the story of an elopment followed by the
assassination of the bridegroom. Ben.
jamin Turner eloped fortnight ago with
the 16-year-old daughter of the Rev. An
drew Moring, Baptist minister.
The couple rented farm near by and
started in life for themselves. Several
nights ago, the night being warm, the
window was left open and Turner lay in
bed with his back to the window. Some
one crept up and, resting his gun upon
the window sill fired, killing the hus-
band.
An investigation of the tragedy devel-
Oped the fact that in the home of the girls
father there lived a man named Caesar
Ward who was in love with her. The
mother of the girl favored Wards suit
and did all she could to compel the girl
to marry him. When the elopement
took place Ward declared that no other
man should live with her and that he
would use the shotgun to put him out Of
the way.
The preacher admits that the gun
with which Turner was shot was his.
and that his wife took it from his place.
and handing it to Ward, told him to re-
move his rival The corGner's jury de-
clared the murder was committed by
Caesar Ward, aided by Celia Moring.

Cotton for December.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-The December
cotton report of the department Of agri-
culture relates to prices on the planta-
tions. Correspondents refer incidentally
to the progress of harvesting and status
of the ungathered crop. All report late
maturity. In the northern belt early
frosts arrested the development of bolls
and seriously reduced the harvest.
In the larger and more southern areas,
while killing frosts were reported in
some localities in October, losses were
neither severe nor general from that
cause. In the most productive portion
of the belt killing frosts are rarely men,
toned as occurring until the last week Of
November. The season may therefore
be considered long one, counterbalanc-
ing measurably the late development of
the plant.
The top crop must be considered
fairly abundant, and very general men,
ton is made in the lower 1atitudes of a
burden of bolls yet unopened, which
may open with continuance Of weather
as good as that of the first week of De-
cember. Weather for picking has been
comparatively favorable.

WORSE THAN MORMONS.
A Colorado Community in Which the
Marriage Relation is Forbidden.


Marriage Relation is Forbidden.
DENVER, Col, Dec. 13.-An interesting
case is being heard in the county court
at Colorado Springs. Some months ago
James and William Campbell made ap-
plication to the Humane society to have
their orphan sisters removed from the
founder of religious sect known as the
"Williamites. The testimony at the
trial shows that these people, who have
founded community, have a law
among them forbidding marriage rela-
tions. This, it is claimed, is for the pur-
pose of keeping harmony and was freely
admitted by all.
The founder Of the community is mar
ried, but the people of whom he is the
spiritual father are not allowed to follow
his example. Those joining the COM
munity who are m arried, must sunder
the bond. No member is allowed to re-
tain the funds he or she earns, every
cent being turned into the common
fund, which is handled by the founder,
one Williams. The evidence in the case
has been highly sensational throughout,
and shows a state of morals in the COM
munity, under the cover of religion,
which is far worse than that of the
MOrmonS.

What the Former Had to Say When the

What the Former Had to Say When the
Latter Was Dying.
Boston, Dec. 13.-When Gen. Grant
was dying at Mount McGregor, The Bos-
ton Globe instructed its New Orleans
correspondent to interview Jefferson
Davis. Mr.. Davis was not seen person
ally, but few days later he penned the
following letter:
DEAR SrR-Your request on behalf Of a
Boston journalist for me to prepare criti-
cism of Gen Grants military career cannot
be compiled with for the following reasons:
First-Gen. Grant is dying.
Second-Though he invaded our country
with ruthless, it was with an open, hand,
and as far as l know he abetted neither
arson nor pillage, and has since the war, /
believe shown no malignity to Confeder-
ates either Of the military or civil service
Therefore, instead of seeking to disturb the
quiet of his closing hours, would, If it were
in my power, contribute to the peace Of his
mind and comfort of his body.
