FOR FlOGGING A REBEL
An English Oficer Who Was Hanged for
Causing . Mutineer's Death

An English Omcer Who Was Hanged for
Causing . Muttneers Death
Once upon a time, about a hundred
years ago, there was colonel In the
English army whose name was Wall;
and Open Court says it was his unlucky
destiny to be governor and military
commandant of one of the British West
India islands. During his sdministra-
ton mutiny broke out, which he Wig
orously suppressed. Having conquered
the rebellion he arrested one of the
mutineers on the parade ground In
front of the barracks and ordered him
TO be tried Immediately by drum head
court ma rtial. The court met, the pris-
oner being within sight of II but not
near enough to hear the testimony. He
was found guilty and sentenced to be
logged. Gov. Wall approved the sem
tence and the man died under the fog
ging. When the news reached England
Gov. Wall was indicted for murder. He
evaded arrest and made his way to
France, where he lived for about TWEEN
" years. and then thinking that the af-
fair was forgotten he returned to Eng
land. He was at once arrested and
brought TO trial, where his fate rested
on the following critical issue: Was or
was not the mutineer present before the
court martial9 On this point the judges
instructed the jury that IL the prisoner
was not near enough 20 hear the testi-
mony Of the witnesses against him so
that he might cross examine them. be
was not present within the meaning
of The law: and In that case his trial
aud punishment were illegal There
upon the jury found Governor Wall
guilty Of murder; and, in spite OF his
rank and his influential friends. he was
hanged.

Over twelve years was afflicted with
a very serious female difficulty and for
the last sixteen months was under
treatment of three of the very best
physicians that money could employ.
Under their skillful treatment grad
ually grew worse, until they decided
they could render me no permanent
help. One of my friends persuaded
me to try bottle of Dullam's Great
German Uterine Tonic, and after taking
three bottles, can say | am in better
health than | have been for twenty
years, and am now 90 years old, but
feel asyoung as at 80.

THE FIRM IN EARNEST.

If Prosecutions Fail in One Case, Men Will
Rearrested on Other Murder Charges.
The ATTORNEYS for the Carnegie Company
are very 10th to being quoted SO much in
the newspapers, but what follows on their
side of the case is authoritative The law
yers are busy collecting evidence, and
as soon as they think they have
sufficient to convict, their clients
are advised to make informations
Great care is observed to avoid false ar
rests and consequent damage suits. The
company is not making prosecutions for the
fun OF the thing and attorneys claim that
the arrests are not being made to break up
the strike but on principle. In the murder
charges the names of only two dead men are
mentioned. There were six killed, and the
scheme is that if the prosecutions fail in one
instance the defendants will be rearrested
for the murder of the others until
the list is exhausted. If this plan
is pursued the courts are liable
TO be occupied with Homestead suits for
several wears to cor.c. The lawyers state
that they have the names of number of
Homestead men, and they expect in time to
secure evidence against them.
None Of the Pinkertons were arrested
yesterday. They are in town, and the Car
negie people claim they are not in seclusion.
They are waiting for the outcome in Fred
Primers case this morning. If he is re-
leased on bail, they are expected to sur
render.

PAYING THE SOLDIERS
Twenty Eight Thousand Dollars Divided
Among the Boys.

Twenty Eight Thousand Dollars Divided
Among the Boys.
The men who have been shaving the pay
of the soldiers got the worst of it yesterday.
Adjutant General Greenland paid all the
soldiers in Homestead direct in cash. This
is the way it is done in time of war, though
usually the guard has been paid
through its captains. The men at
Camp Black were paid first, and last
night the two companies of the Sixteenth
at Duquesne. The only men not paid were
those in the provisional battalion at Swiss
vale, in command of Colonel Hawkins, and
the members of Battery B. As the bat
talon of the Tenth is to leave in few
days it will not be paid until its return
home Each man was given ten days pay,
and the sum total was S28. 600.
At noon Adjutant General Greenland ar
rived, accompanied by Assistant Adjutant
General Krumbhaar, Inspector General
McKibben and Lieutenant Colonels Con-
nelly, Tyson and WILDER. William Mont
gomery, cashier of the Allegheny National
Bank, was appointed paymaster of Second
Brigade with the rank of Major. The paw
was made from the various regimental head
quarters. Each company was called out
and the money handed to each man. The
prlvates eacn got S1o, ana tnough many OF
them are men that make big money at home
they took more pride in that $15 than if it
had been ten times as much. As the result
| of the pay many of the men slipped out of
camp to relieve themselves of their money.
and thereby caused much trouble for Lien
tenant Colonel Mechlin, of Butler. who
was Provost Marshal. The guard was COM
posed of Second Battalion of the Fifteenth
Regiment. Several details were sent out
and about 30 of the stragglers were brought
back to the guardhouse.
Considerable excitement was caused by
the arrest of Miles Sweeney, an ex-deputv
sheriff. He was caught by his brother,
Deputy Sheriff John Sweeney, who was
bformerly a constable in Alderman Nc
Kenna's Office. Miles Sweeney had been
deputy and was discharged. He had sim
ply been drinking too much Peter Moran,
one of the locked-out men was also arrested
by the guard last evening for creating O dis
turbance. He was only taken to the guard
house.
In the Fifth Regiment the boys were con-
graduating Captain Slagle of Company G.
The other day at Munhall, one of the men
was attempting to pass one of the guards.
Slagle decided to settle the matter by grab
bling him by the trousers and throwing him
into the gutter. The man did not care to
try it again.
General Wiley stated yesterday that the
Provisional battalion at Swissyale would
probably be sent home inside of few days

THE ADJUTANT'S LITTLE JOKE.

Greenlands Secresy Previous to His Home
stead Trip to Pay Off the Soldiers In
dulGed in to Arouse the Public's
Curiosity.
Personal protection of life and property
was the reason Adjutant General Greenland
refused to tell the object OF his trip to Pitts
burg to Harrisburg correspondents.
When the Adjutant General left Harris
burg for Camp Sam Black to pay off the
soldiers camped there, he indulged in a
little diplomacy that partially assured him
of a safe journey. The fact that he in
tended paying off the troops was quite gen.
orally known, but the shrewdness of the
bearer of $50, 900 in cold cash in assuming
an air of mystery regarding his departure
and his mission caused many to lose sight
of the .act that he was the conveyor of a
large sam OF money in their curiosity to
know over what he was secretive.
The Adjutant had quiet laugh last night
over his success and told DISPATCH man
this was the entire cause of his mystery.
"The sum of $4,000 would be quite an
nally inclined" said he, ''and 1
was mysterious simply to protect
myself succeeded most Hatter-
ingly and doubt much if those who saw
me in Homestead or elsewhere knew was
CARRYING that much money with me. Had
the fact been widely known there are prob
abilities that might have had more of an
unpleasant trip than did have"
Speaking of the payment of the Fifth,
Fifteenth and Sixteenth regiments in the
field, the AGjutant said the experience was
a novel one for the boys. ''This being the
first time in the history of the guard
since the war the men were paid in
cash over the quartermaster's table. The
boys enjoyed the experience as much as
they enjoyed the money simply on that &C.
count" The Adjutant leaves this morning
for his home
