Meeting of the Board Of Officers to Re
organize the Service

Meeting of the Board Of Officers to Re-
organize the Service.
The board of officers, consisting of Lieut..
Col. H. w. Lawton, assistant inspector general;
Assistant Surgeon Gen. C. R Greenleaf and
Major Geo. Davis, judge advocate, met at the
War Department today to effect the reorgani-
cation Of the signal corps, made necessary
by the recent legislation transferring
the weather service to the Agricultural
the present chief signal officer, one major,
four mounted captains and four mounted first
heutenanss. These officers will be selected
from those now on duty in the signal serv-
ice, including officers detailed from the
line and staff OF the army. The COM
petition for the places is ver;- keen,
and there are about twenty-five officers
eligible for the places. The majorship is q
new ofico and the interest centect largely in
the selection Of the officer for tina: rank The
board has called upon Gen. Greel' the chief
signal officer, for information touching
the personal records of the candidates,
including their rank in weather prediction,
the preparation of meteorological information,
work in military signaling and the various other
branches OF the signal service. BY the terms
OF the act preference in appointment is to be
given to the officers having the best record for
valuable service. The board will make
its recommendations to the President
ing OF selection to the new corps will retain
their present commissions and be transferred
to the regular army.
The session Of the board today was prelimin-
airy and il is probable that it will occupy at least
q week IN the work of reorganization.

GEORGETOWN.

KILLED BY Blow ON THE HEAD.-The death
OF William johnson, colored, which occurred
Saturday evening, has given rise TO a suspicion
of foul play. Coroner Patterson held an autopsy
upon the remains yesterday afternoon, after
which an inquest was deemed necessary. The
jury. after hearing the evidence, rendered the
following verdict: 1.-The said William johnson
came to his death from inflammation Of the
brain caused by blow upon the head inflicted
in some manner unknown to the Jury"
The police are investigating the case.
Ratchet was found in the room on Herring
Hill where johnson died, which it il believed
was the instrument used, but by whom is not
known for johnson was found alone after he
was injured and unable to talk. The case was
brought to the attention of Lieut. Holling-
berger by the application Of the friends Of the
deceased for a permit to move the body from
the place he died to his home in CARROTS alley
between Prospect and n. 34th and S5th streets.
1t was ascertaned that the deceased had been
attended by DIR. Rich, who had given a certifi-
cate that death was caused by pneumonia. DR.
Rich was called Saturday and found the patient
in dark room unable to speak. and, from
symptoms of lockjsw, was inclined to the be-
lief that he had been injured. He thereupon
questioned johnson, who was conscious al
though unable to speak. BY shaking his head
he seemed to deny that he had been injured in
any way. DIR. Rich then further examined him
and ascertaining that his lungs were congested
treated him for pneumonia In few hours
johnson died. The police had learned that
there over the eye Of the deceased bruise
made with some instrument and it was deemed
best to hold an inquest and an autopsy. The
latter revealed the cause of death to be inflam-
nation Of the brain resulting from the blow
and the jury SO found.

The Rebellion Records.

In its annual report to the Secretary of War
tho board Of publication Of the rebellion
records says that as the chief purpose Of the
act OF March 2, 1889, was to expedite the publ
cation Of the work, it was determined to de-
vote a large part Of the appropriation for the
year to the printing and distribution Of vol
umes already in type. With this end in view
ten books were published and distributed, con-
tanning the accounts Of the Chanc lorsville and
Gettysburg campaigns and the important
sieges of Vicksburg and Port Hudson The
other departments of the work. however, were
not neglected, and the force employed in
stereotyping, indexIng and compilation was
kept steadily at work during the year. As a
result seven books were stereotyped, carrying
the official accounts to the end OF 1868, and
twelve book were indexed, of which eleven
were practically ready for publication at the
close Of the fiscal year. The compilation of
the second series, relating to prisoners Of war;
and the volumes of the first series, relating to
the operations of the year 1864, were carried
forward as rapidly as possible by the limited
force available.

Secretary Rusk has received the fullest in
formation relative to the action of Mr. Chaplin,
the British minister of agriculture, who is OPP
posing propositions looking to the removal of
the restrictions Of the British government now
in force against the importation of American
live cattle. The Secretary is not at all dis
turbed over the matter but believes that it
will be only little while before the British
government will of necessity be compelled by
British business sentiment to deal Justly with
American meat products

Division of the Richmond Diocese.

The Protestant Episcopal convention of vir-
gina will convene in Richmond in 1892 and
not 1891, as published. One of the most i'm
portant questions that will come before it and
which is now being agitated will be the propo-
sition to divide the diocese of Virginia into
two, probably three dioceses instead Of one, AZ
at present 1t is probable. though, that the
diocese will be simply divided into two-an
eastern and q western diocese.

A Grateful Woman.

A touching scene was enacted in Gov
ernor Gordon's Office at Atlanta, Satur-
day. He had just issued pardon to
Columbus Pless, who has been in the
county chain gang for one month for
carrying concealed weapons. Mrs. Pless,
a typical Georgia cracker, who engi-
neered the pardon, dealt with Judge Mes
bit, the governors private secretary, and
when the pardon was given her she
called Gods blessing down upon him.
About this time Governor Gordon en-
tered the room, and Mrs. Pless was told
that he had issued the pardon. Whats
his manner" she asked. "That's Governor
