COurt-MartiaI Verdict.

Gen. Alger DisapprOves of the Gray
COurt-Martial Verdict.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug. Seen. Alger
has disapproved the finding of the
court-martial in the case Of Capt. Jacob
Gray, the post-department commander
of Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana.
The court martial was the result of the
i'll feeling which was manifested be-
tween the two factions in the ranks of
the Grand Army of the Republic on oc-
casion of the Hon. Jefferson Davis
death. Capt. Gray, then the depart
ment commander, turned out in the
funeral procession to do honor to
the dead soldier and statesman.
The commander was determined to
make the recalcitrant members Of his
command make amends, and chartered
nine colored posts, comprising about
500 members, and said that if they (his
opponents) would not parade in the
Davis procession they would be
made to walk side by side with
the negro. AS a result two sets
of officers were elected. On
the matter being referred to Gen. Al
ger, the commander-in-chief of the G..
A r., it was decided that Mr.. Hodges
was the department commander, but
the negro posts were entitled to repre-
sentation. Thereupon the anti-Gray
faction began proceedings by way OF
court-martial against Capt. Gray. The
verdict was against Gray, and the out
come of the trial was forwarded to Gen.
Alger for arnroval.

Dody OF the dead woman as his child.
With him came Henry Kemmler, the
murderer's brother, who had married a
sister of the dead woman.
After his arrest the murderer refused
to talk of the crime, and at one time
there were doubts as to his sanity.
When pressed to give a reason for the
deed he only said, 81 wanted to kill
her, and the sooner I hang for it the
better" Nearly $500 in cash was found
at his room. The coroner's jury pro-
nounced Kemmler murderer, and i'm
medlately after the inquest he was taken
from tie jail to the police court and ar
raigned on charge of murder in the
first degree. He pleaded guilty, saying
he had no use for lawyer.
Judge Childs sentenced him to die
within the week beginning June "a,
1889, by the application of electricity.
Counselor Hatch took exceptions to the
sentence, upon the ground that the
punishment was cruel and unusual, and
contrary to the spirit of the constitu-
ton. Kemmler reached Auburn Fri
day, May "A, at midnight A writ of
habeas corpus was served upon Warden
burton just before the fatal day, and
upon June 20 argument was heard by
County Judge Day as to the constitu-
tlOnallty OF the law substituting cleo
tricity for the gibbet, upon the ground
OF the former being cruel and unusual.
Judge Day dismissed the writ, and the
case was taken to the general term of
the supreme collrJ at Rochester, where
the constitutionality Of the law was up
held. The last resort was the court of
appeals, and here, too, the decision was
adverse to Reminders counsel.
The criminal xuoc contonooI 4o A. -,
the week beginning April %, 1890. 1t is
likely Kemmler would have been cleo
tricized on April 30, but on the 29tb a
United States writ of habeas corpus was
served on the warden, and the case was
then carried to the United States SUI
preme court on the point of constitu-
tonality of the law, on the same
grounds as urged in the state courts.
The New York courts were upheld in
the final appeal, and Kemmler was
again sentenced to be killed in the week
beginning August 4.

Beach, burned to the ground early this
morning. The hotel was four stories
high, with numerous turrets and gables,
and the flames made quick work of it.
There were fifty guests in the hotel

promenade dance hall, and the depot of
the Jacksonville & Atlantic Railroad,
which were entirely consumed, also
one small grocery store north of the
railroad property. Murray Hall was
