Gen. Gibbons Retirement.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-Gen. John
Gibbon, second in the rank among the
brigadier generals of the army, having
just reached the age of "a, was transferred
to the retired list. His has been a very
long and eventful military life, beginning
more than forty. eight years ago with his
cadetship and covering Mexican, civil
war, and Indian service. A native of
Pennsylvania, he was appointed to the
military academy from North Carolina,
and on his graduation in lS47 Joined the
forces in Mexico as second lieutenant OF
the 4th artillery. There he was stationed
at the City of Mexico and Toluca. Gar
rison and frontier duty and service against
the Seminoles followed, then a term of
five years at the military academy, first as
assistant instructor Of artillery and after
ward as ouartermaster.
When the civil war broke out he was a
captain in hIs regiment, and was soon
made chief Of artillery in McDowel's di-
vision. In the spring of 1862 he was a
brigadier-general of volunteers and served
all through the war IN the army of the
4 ~ AAlh biNNNth lb uldlDI up ~
major general were awarded for gallant
aud meritorious services successfully at
Antietam, fredericksburg, Gettysburg.
Spottsvlvania and Petersburg. At Fred
ericksburg he commanded a division and
was wounded. AT Gettysburg. while in
command Of the End corps. he was
severely wounded. and was disabled more
than four months. Then he was put in
command OF draft stations at Cleveland
and Philadelphia. Returning to the front
i'll the spring Of 1864, he was made major
general OF volunteers, received command
of the second division of the 2nd corps.
and fought it throughout the memorable
campaign from the Wilderness to Peters
burg, including the battles around
Spottsylvania, the North Anna, Tolopoto-
moy aud Cold Harbor. In 1865 he took
command of the oath corps and distin-
guished himself IN the final assaults on
Petersburg.
Gen. Gibbons service since the war
has been varied and important. Made
colonel Of the Both infantry. he was trans
ferred at the reduction OF the army to the
7th infantry, and had command OF the
Yellowstone expedition against Sitting
Bull in 1876. The following year he
fought Chief Joseph and the Nez Perces

steps for suppressing the anti-Ch nese
riots there. OF late he has been in charge
of the department of the Pacific, with
headquarters at San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, April 22-'At the last
legal execution in the Greek Nation | was
present, - said Mr.. Leo L. Bennett, the
government agent for the five civilized
tribes, today. The details were very
different from an execution in the army.
A squad is detailed, and some of the guns
are left unloaded, so nobody can tell who
fires the fatal shot. At this last Greek
execution the condemned man was seated
on the ground with his back against a
tree and his legs stretched out in front.
He was not bound TO the tree nor were
his hands tied. Just before the execution
some one put a bandage over his eyes,
but the prisoner tore 1t of and threw il
away. Perhaps the ~strangest pant of the
proceedings was the selection of the exc
cutioners. That was left to the condemned
man. He was told to pick out the two
men who he wanted to do the shooting
Strange to say, one OF his selections was
his cousin. Both men we're from the
Light Horse of tie nation. The two men
out in front of the condemned man twelve
or fifteen feet. knelt down, leveled their
revOlveIs, steadylng the barrels with
their left hands and fired. Both bul.
lets struck the left breast over the
heart ana not more than au inch and a
halt apart, The man fell over on his side
and in a few seconds was dead. Accord
ing to the Greek law the third ofense of
larceny is punishable with death. For
the first otfense the penalty Is fifty lashes,
aud for the second II is 100 lashes on the
bare back. If there is an attempt to
carry out the death penalty again for lar
ceny, | intend TO try the effect of habeas
corpus III the federal court at Fort Smith.
Shooting a man or an Indian for larceny
would come under the constitutional pro-
hibitIon OF cruel and unusual punishment.
At least | shall see what Judge Porter
thinks of the proposition. The last Greek
execution occurred several years ago. A
Creek oma was condemned to be shot
not long since, but she was pardoned by
the chief. The Seminoles are the only
other civilized Indians who shoot their
condemned.
Mr.. Bennett is located at Muscogee
He Is here on business with the interior
department.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Gen. August
V. Koutz was today appointed brigadier
general to succeed Gen. Gibbon, retired.
The promotion Of Gen. Koutz will give
great and general satisfaction to his
friends 10 and out OF the army. 1t will
be particularly gratifying to his German
friends. Gen. Koutz was born In Ger
many, Jan. 5, 1928. His father emf
grated to the United States six months
later, settling first near Baltimore and
shortly alter in GEORGETOWN. o., from
which he moved to Ripley. While there
were two colonies on the list who were
his seniors in commission there are few
soldiers anywhere who have his record of
military service. as he enlisted as a pri-
vate soldier in 1886 in company G, LIST
Ohio volunteers. aud went to Mexico in
the regiment commanded by Col. A. M.
Mitchell. He served one year, which
was the term of his enlistment, and next
year was appointed a cadet at West Point.
He therefore has a record of forty three
years continuous service. The two above
him were not general officers during the
war. Gen. Koutz served on the Pacific
coast and in the Indian campaigns with
credit. Early in 1861 he was made cap
tain in the 9th cavalry. He com
manded this regiment at the time of the
seven days battle. Soon after he was
made colonel of the ID Ohio cavalry.
He served with his command with
distinction in the John Morgan raid. He
was chief of the cavalry of the 23d corps
under Burnside in the east Tennessee. He
was commissioned brigadier general 10
January, 1864, and ordered to the army
of the Potomac. His service here was of
the most brilliant character. In one
movement his troops carried the works on
the jerusalem plank road, and penetrated
the city, but for want OF support he was
obliged to fall back. He performed much
hard and effective fighting up to the
capture Of Richmond, and he constantly
exhibited ability. At the close OF active
operations about Richmond he was or
dered to Washington as 4 member OF the
court which tried the assassins OF Mr..
Lincoln. Since the war his service has
been chiefly on the plains. He was made
lieutenant colonel of the 34th infantry in
1866, and became colonel of the Sth in
1874. He is a man of high personal
character, most transformations demeanor,
a professional soldier of recognized ability
and in every way a credit to the service
and to the country he has long served SC
well.

Plot To Ruin "A WOm1n's Character
BIRMtEGU4&:, Ala, April 22.-The
famous Martin trial entered on Its third
day today, aud the court room was packed
to suffocatiou. The most horrible plot for
the overthrow aud complete ruin of a
woman ever practiced by man was brought
out by the defense. and at one time during
a plea for justice by the defense the crowd
IN ihe court room stopped all proceedings
by "A prolonged cheer and applause at the
sentiments uttered by counsel 10 his
argument, while the defendant and her
lady associates tdrst into tears and for the
time being were completely overcome.
W hen quiet was again restored the presid-
aug judge called on the court deputies aud
ordered them 10 arrest any and all pcrsuns
who again IN any way applauied or
showed NOISY signs OF agreeing with any
evidence or pleadlngs offered. During
the carly afternoon session two witnesses
were sworn IN by the defense, who testified
that a detective agent by the rame of C..
W. Embry. in the employ Of Herman
detective agency, had approached them
and offered to pay any amount il they
would secure or help him secure the ruin
OF Mrs. Martin, so he could get a divorce
for her husband. They revealed a horrible
plot that won the defendant the sympathy
OF every one in the room. Mrs. Martin
will be placed on the stand tomorrow.

Fort LEAyENwoRTH, kas April %
Father Graft, the Catholic priest who

Wounded Knee last December, has writ
ten a letter from Pine Ridge agency to a
member of the hospital corps, in which
he says:

troubles and the only hope for the In
dians. The Sioux delegation, while at
Washington, Was thoroughly manipu-
lated by the Indian bureau. Some of the
Indians were made to say what they knew
10 be false about the army, and others
claim they were silenced when they
wanted to give facts. Many things were
published which they never thought of
saying. Capt. Lee called up Hollow
Horn Bear, one OF the delegates from
Rosebud The Indian denies all the
statements attributed to him, and said he
never spoke against the army. The In
dams who returned from Washington say
they went there to ask foo military agents,

Los ANGELES, April 22.-The run of
the presidential train was marked by many
interesting incidents, the principal ones
being the cordial reception given by the
citizens of Ontario and Pomona.
Los Angeles was reached at 3 o'clock.
As the train rolled into the depot the
national salute was fired. the people
cheered Justify and all the bells and
whistles doomed in acclaim. The city
was lavishly decorated in honor of the
distinguished visitors. a special feature
being the p~rofusion of bright hued flow
ers, every available point being covered
with them. The ceremonies opened with
a street parade in which United States
troops, militia, Grand Army of the Re-
public and civil organizations participated.
The president was escorted through the
streets crowded with enthusiastic people.
At one point children showered the presi-
dent with flowers as the carriage passed
slowly by. At the city hall the speaking
platform looked like a tropical garden,
with draperies OF flags. Addresses of
welcome we're made by Governor Mark
ham and Mayor Hazard. The president,
in his response, said in part: This mag
n%iicent state on the Pacific coast was
seized for the Union by the energy,
courage and wise f~OrethuuVht of Fremont
and his associates as essential to our pro-
lection. Nothing more important in ter.
ritorial extension, unless il be the pur-
chase OF Louisiana and the control of the
Mississippi River, has ever occurred in
our national HISTORY. We touch
two oceans, and on both have
built commonwealth and great cit
les. No great conflict of arms
can ever take place on American territory
il we are true to ourselves and have for
ever determined that no civil conflict shall
again rend our country. We are a peace
loving nation, and yet we cannot be sure
that everybody else will be peaceful, and
therefore | am glad that by general con
sent of our people. and by liberal appro-
prIations from congress, we are putting
on the sea some vessels of the best class
afioat, and that we are now prepared to
put upon their decks as good guns as are
made in the world, and when we have
completed our, programme, ship by ship,
We will put IN tiielr forecastles as brave
jack tars as serve under any flag. The
provident care of our government should
be given your sea coast defenses until all
the great ports of the Atlantic and Pacific
are made safe.
After speeches by Secretary Rusk and
Postmaster General Wanamaker the party
proceeded to the Hollenback hotel, where
IN elegant flower bedecked apartment was
reserved. During dinner the president
was serenaded and in the evening held q
public reception at the pavilion. Later
the party was entertained at the Union
League club.

MUNcTE. Ind, April 22.-Last evening
during the absence of the family Mrs.
Samuel Hardesty, residing twelve miles
northeast OF this city, met with a horrible
death. The lady left the house temper
arily to milk a COW, leaving the natural
gas burning in the kitchen. AS the door
was open a gust of wind blew it out. On
re entering the room the woman lighted u
match, but had no sooner done so than q
terrific explosion occurred and the whole
room for an instant seemed IN a blaze.
Mrs. Hardesty was rendered senseless.
and when she regained consciousness it
was only to find herself enduring the most
agonizing pain. with her flesh fairly cook.

blazing garments from her person, assisted
by others who were attracted to the scene
by the loud report. The helpless woman
was kindly cared for, but only survived a
few hours. Her charred remains were

DENIsoN, Tex, April 22.-J. n. lr-
win, who represents an insurance com
PAM at Burlington, Ia, is spending the
day in the citY. Last week Mr.. Irwin,
with a party of two friends and an Indian
guide, left Oktaha on the line of the
Missouri, Kansas K Texas railway In the
Greek Nation for a hunt in the Canadian
country. On the second night the party
went into camp in the Jack Fork noun
talns where game was SO plentiful that
two deer aud several turkeys were shot
from the camp. Last Wednesday the
party crossed the Canadian and after tray
cling all day established campin the Deep
Fork district, where fishing is, to quote
Mr.. Irwin, "as good as any in the world. -
Thurday morning Irwin and the guide
rel IN quest of a bear which had been
proving around the camp during the
night and left signs in the mud along the
river bank. The bear was traIled to an
immense cane brake and there lost and
the pursuit was abandoned, as the
guide stated it would be dangerous to
enter the cane brake without dogs. While
en- route to the camp the guide suggested
a cut of. which he said was about two
miles nearer camp. After fording a small
stream, which emptIes into Deep Fork,
the guide and Irwin proceeded to the Hill
country. Near a ledge of rocks the ruins
of a cabin were discovered. The roof had
fallen in and the entrance was blocked
with debris. A few yards from the cabin,
under a ledge of rocks, a cave vas diseov-
cred. At the entrance and on the out
side human bones were scattered. Irwin
believes that no less thar nine people had
persisted there, but under what circum-
stances he nor the guide could not coniec
ture. The hunting party returned to the
railroad Saturday and Mr.. IRWIN arrived
here Sunday. His standing makes his
statement thoroughly reliable.

GREEN CASTLE, Ind, April GA
strange sight was seen here last evening.
A loud, roaring sound was heard. and
heavy black clouds were observed
passing rapidly over the city. Upon
close observation it was found that the
clouds were composed OF millions of bugs
about one inch in size. They passed
from the west to the east, and the noise
of their combined wings made as much
sound as an express train at full speed.
Several were captured and are said to be
of tie June bug" variety. They are
very dangerous to vegetables.
