MAJOR LYDECKER'S CASE.
Found Guilty and Censured by President Har'
risOn in Straight, Strong Terms.

rlS0n III Straight, strong Terms.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-The sentence of
the general court martial in the case Major
Lydecker, corps of engineers, who was
tried on charges arising out Of the acque-
duct tunnel frauds, was made public this
afternoon, and is as follows: ITO forfeit to
the United States 500 per month of his pay
for nine months, and to be reprimanded in
orders"
The court is thus lenient III view of the
evidence before il that in spaces so confined
as those above the arch in the tunnel it was
almost impossible TO secure thoroughly
good work under the contract system i'm
posed by law.
President Harrison,in approving the sen
tence, says: The gravamen of the offense
OF this officer was neglect Of very high and
important duty. 1t is not very importan
from military stondpOint whether d pecu-
mary loss did or did not result to the gov
eminent, but that very great loss and incOn-
yenience have been inficted upon the COM
munlty by the delays which have resulted
from the failure TO discover the pre-emi-
nently faulty and fraudulent character of
the work, is apparent. The suggestion
that the strictest and most faithful super
vision of the progress of such a work is pow
erless to detect and correct the shams which
were practiced by contractors in this case,
is a discredit to the engineering profession
and entirely inadmiSsable.n

Killed His Wife and Children.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 3.-The jury in
the HAYES trial, this afternoon, after being
out about three hours, returned a verdict
of guilty, fixing the penalty at death. -
Halves, who is accused of numbering his
wife and two children, accepted the verdict
as a man having expressed himself all the
while as looking upon his conviction as a
foregone conclusion. The verdict meets
with popular approval, and was expected.
The general opinion among lawyers here IS
that the supreme court will order a new
trial and a change of venue.

R0BBING THE MAILS.
A Sensational Story Comes from Manti
Town.


Some days ago there came to the ears of
HERALD reporter story to the effect
that big mail robbery had been committed
at Manti by which the registered mail
pouch, supposed to contain somewhere
about ten thousand dollars, had turned up
missing. The news was confided to THE
HERALD man, as great state secret, with
injunctions that nothing be said about it,
at least for a few days. Since first
hearing the rumor, the reporter
has spent some time in an en-
deay or to learn the truth or falsity of the
statement, bat up TO this writing, with
only Indifferent success. 1t is said that
somewhere about week ago, the mail r.
rived at Manti, as usual, in two
pouches, one registered, the other
the ordinary: that both sacks were
placed in their usual positions, and
the person in charge being called off for
short time did not take the precaution to
lock the door of the room in
which the mail had been deposited.
When he returned, he was para
lyzed with establishment to discover that
the registered pouch had disappeared, and
up to the time our informant reached here
no clue had been obtained as to who had
tanned in the pouch had been arrived at,
was not learned. Inquiry from those who
are ia position to know of the theft. if it
be one, has failed to elicit any satisfactory
response, but no fiat denial that there was
robbery, large or small, has been made.

still rapidly increasing. \ very consider

1t is that impurity in the blood, which, ac-
cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro-
duces unsightly Jumps or swelIngs; which
causes painful running sores on the arms,
legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the
eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or
deafness; which is the origin of pimplcs, can
cerous growths, or the many other manifesto
tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which,
fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption
and death. Being the most ancient, it is the
most general of all diseases or affections, for
very few persons are entirely free from it.
