CHICAGO, March l2.-General Crook,
to-day, speaking Of the court martial Ia
be held in this city on the 18th inst, al
which Lieutenant Steele will DO called
on 10 answer charges OF misconduct pre-.
ferred against him in connection with
the late Dell Wild affair at Fort Smelling,
said: The personnel Of this court mar.
tial has not yet been definitely deter.
mined upon, butt will consist OF officers
against whose impar.iality and fairness
nothing can be said. &
Every officer in the army Is indirect.
ly interested in the outcome OF this trial.
The charges Of clannishncss amongst
officers which have been so freely made
in the public press, are in a measure
true; but 1t does not exceed the bounds
Of proper esprit de corps" which you
will find existing in tho world. Still
less would tho fact that an accused officer
was the wearer OF shoulder straps operate
to shield him from the consequences OF
conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman. II is my desire, and 1t will
DO my especial care, during the coming
trial OF Lieutenant Steele, that the in.
vestigation shallbe aAapublic one as
the nature OF court maftials will allow.
In issuing an order to tho paymaster to
secure a suitable room in which the
court can hold It's sessions, l have in.

most remarkable state Of affairs. Olsen
had loaded stick OF wood with powder,
which exploded in hardware store.
His wife apd children then undertook
to get rid OF him, and circulated stories

headed by Peter johnson Loga, well.
to.do farmer, who yesterday hanged
himself. On the night in question the
party took Olsen from his house and
strung him up right in front OF it three
times, finally killing him. He made a
brave resistance and refused to leave
the neighborhood at the price Of his life.
His wife and family witnessed the lynch.
ing from the window OF their dwelling,
and made coffee for the party when ii
was finished. Three Of the persons i'm.
plicated have confessed. A jury was
secured and the taking Of testimony
Henry Hanson, who
turned States evidence, gave the details
Of the crime, and several witnesses were
put upon tho stand by the prosecution.
Peter johnson Loga, who was impli.
Gated in the affair, hanged himself yes
terday. He was almost insane from fear
that he would be convicted. .4- =

The Autopsy on tho Remains OF Ex.Con
gresham Taulbec.
WASHINGTON, D. O., March 18th,
autopsy on the body OF cx.C Congressman
Taulbee was held this morning by.Dr
Lamb. assisted by Surgeon. Genera
Hamilton, Dr.. Baync and DR.. Frederick
The ball was found wedged in the or
bital cavity directly, at the base Of the
brain, and about two inches from the
spot where it entered. It had taken q
course slightly downward;bu not at SO
great an angle rs was supposed. The
bullet was mashed into shapeless piece
OF lead, and was So firmly imbedded that
1t could not have been extracted while
Mr.. Taulbee lived.
The doctors found that the immediate
cause OF death was the formation OF an
abcess about the size ofsa walnut at the
base Of the brain. The brain had not
been injured by the bullet, butIwas not
congested. 4 The bones at.the base were
slightly shattered, but no splinters had
entered the brain. Tho doctors stated
that Mr.. Taulbee could not have lived
under any circumstances, and expressed
themselves US surprised that he survived
for such length OF time.
At the coroner's inquest to-day cx.
Doorkeeper Donaldson testified that he
was an eyewitness Of the shooting, and
that Kincaid fired Without warning
Taulbee. Other witnesses testified as to
the circumstances that have been relat-
ed, and the jury returned u verdict that
Taulbee came to his death by pistol
wound, the pistol being held in the hand
Charles E. Kincaid.

How the Recent Cold Snap Affected MIcl,i-
Cnn Orchards.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, March l2.-Oyer
one hundred leading peach cultivators,
members OF the Fruit Growers Associa.
ton, assembled at South Haven, Mich,
yesterday. IT, 81 ,a' q,
They submitted specimen branches
from their orchards, showing the fruit
buds to be badly damaged as the result
OF the recent plunge Of the mercury to
10 or more degrees below zero.
The destruction appears to vary good
deal, the older trees and less elevated
situations, contrary to precedent, show
ing the larger proportion OF live fruit
buds. This is believed to be- due to
the fact that the young orchards, and
especially the elevated ones, have been
more unduly developed by reason Of the
open winter. 1T was asserted, however,
that many Of the small or so.called dor
mant buds, would now be pushed for
ward and, together with the larger ones
remaining uninjured, would produce
one.third to one-half an average crop.

and soon reappeared with both boys in
his grasp. But the burden was too
heavy, and all three sank again, Thomas
apparently limp and lifeless and John
still struggling. 9l& @

for fear he, too, would be drowned. But
he soon appeared again, this time with
