All smiled save Mrs. Fain, who, since
she had been informed Of all that had &C.
Cured from the time of Mr.. Stacks ar
rival at her house to Laura's joining her
the night before, maintained rigid and
dignlfied silence.
| While they were waiting for the chap
lain the general wrote telegram to
| Mr.. Fain, at Nashville, announcing the
arrival of his wife and daughter. He
did not mention the SON in-law.
The chaplain came, and the bride and
groom were wed again-this time with
ample witnesses, for the whole staff had
been ordered to report in person at
headquarters to witness marriage cere-
mony." I'll general gave the bride
away, and after the benediction, offer
ing his arm to Mrs. Fain, led the way to
another tent where collation. of for
aged viands-foraged unbeknown to the
general, and consisting principally of
cold chicken - was served. Unfortl-
nately there was not glass Of wine in
camp for the ladies, the only spirits be-
ing ''commissary'' whisky and the Rob
inson County Of the country.
While the party were refreshing
themselves, word was received from
Nashville that Mr.. Fain was out Of dan
ger and ilnpatiently awaiting his wife
and daughter.
After communicating this pleasant
bit Of information, the general, turning
to Mark, said:
Il shall need you hereafter on my
staff. I have learned from your colonel
that there is vacant lieutenancy for
you in your regiment, and will issue
an order detailing you for duty with
me. But this rank need be only tenn
porary. The army is about to be divided
into army corps, and my troops will con-
stitute one of them. Under the recent
law fixing the staff of corps command
ers shall nominate you for inspector
general, with rank Of lieutenant colonel,
to be appointed by the president"
For the first time since she had been
apprised of the fact that her daughter
was wife Mrs. Fain looked happy.

preciate the honor you so kindly bestow
upon me, would prefer, were it not FOR
my wife, to remain in the secret service.
She certainly deserves the distinction

joice at the prospect of being near you,
and shall not be averse now, since
have so much to live for, to service
not connected with constant reminder
of hemp rope"
At this juncture an aid-de-camp en-
tered and handed the general tele-
gram. He cast his eye over it and
said:
"The ball is opened. Nelson is fight

Richmond, Kentucky"

BUCHANAN IS SENTENCED.

He is 10 be Executed in the First
 Week of 0ctober-what Recorder
 Smyth Said in Pronouncing the
 Sentence.
 NEwYoRK, Aug. 14.-Dr. Buchanan was sentenced to be executed in the week be- ginning October by Recorder Smyth this morning.
 In pronouncing sentence the recorder said: Buchanan, after what I think was fair trial and before a jury of very great intelligence, you have been convicted of the crime of murder in the first degree for poisoning your wife. Slncs the trial I have examined the evidence and have come to the conclusion that the verdict was entirely justified for the crime of will ful murder. am obliged to state, also, that in my opinion the evidence clearly established the motive which induced you to commit the crime-the desire to obtain the property of s woman. In progress of obtaining that property you married her, and ss soon as you married her you set about to destroy her life. This you sue- cseded iu doing by the administration of poison.
 Nothing remains for me to do but to announce the sentence, which is that you suffer the punishment of death on a day within the week commencing Monday, Oc- tober 2, 1S93"
 Charles w. Brooke, representing the de- fendant, took the usual exceptions, after which the prisoner was hurried away by the court officers.
 Buchanan maintained the utmost com posture throughout the whole proceeding. He looked steadily at the recorder while the sentence was being imposed, and 3D. peared deeply interested in the remarks made by his counsel. Physically, however, he appears much eplaciated, showing the effects of his long confinement.
 The court room was crowded.
