tanned high opinion of Geronimo as an
Indian of character and force, whose
pledged word could be depended upon.
At the time of his death Mr.. Gatewood
was awaiting retirement for illness, which
would have been given to him as soon as
he was promoted to be captain. Although
a senior first lieutenant of his regiment he
died a subaltern after a noteworthy service
of nearly twenty years. He graduated at
West Point in 1877. He was buried in
Arlington Cemetery.
Colonel H. w. Closson, Fourth Artil-
lery, the senior artillery officer, who grad
uated from West Point nearly forty-two
years ago and has served in the army ever
since, was retired last Saturday. His war
hrevets were those of major and lieutenant
colonel for gallant conduct at Port Hud-
son and Fort Morgan.
Colonel Closson has seen men from civil
life and favorites of the regular army,
whose service on the field of battle was too
slight to constitute a record, appointed
over his head to the rank OF brigadier-
general, but it cannot be said that he ever
murmured at the injustice. The injustice
still exists and will continue as long as
persons high in political influence can get
favors from the President for their own
kin at the expense of honest soldierly
merit.
Lieutenant-ColoneI Wilson of the Sub
sistence Department, who graduated at
West Point in 1858, retires this week. He
served in the infantry during the war and
was breveted up to brigadier-general for
meritorious service in the field.
Captain R. G. Shaw, First Artillery, re-
tires this month. He entered the volun-
teers In. 1861 as captain of a Rhode Island
battery and after the war entered the
regular army as second lieutenant. He
was promoted for gallantry at Morris
! Island.
The regiments that will be moved from
one State to another this year are the Sec
ond, Eighth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and
! Twenty fourth Infantry. The list does
not embrace the First Infantry in this
department, so that regiment will be here
another year. The Fifth Artillery is also
safe to remain at San Francisco until 1897
and perhaps longer.
The light batteries of the Fifth Artillery,
now on practice march, will go into
| Yosemite Valley. Returning, the batter
les will reach Monterey to participate in
the Sloat monument celebration July 7.
The report comes from Washington that
the battle-ship Oregon will go into com.

Chier Engineer R. w. Milligan of the

Especial to The TiineS.D
Dover Del, August 0.-Chancell', " Nichol-

for release under writ OF habeas corpus.
The hearing lasted until 12 clock

lam II. Keevan was discharged and the
sixteen other prisoners were reminded,
which led Alderman Cooper, who committed
them, to remark that the ratio OF 16 to l
had been re-esta blishcd. The decision
was as follows:
Under the construction of the laws Of
this State the chancellor has no right to
issue writ of certiorari. The question to
be considered here is strictly one OF habeas
Judgment of the alderman as it appears on
the record or docket is fatally defective.
ut is true that there is a marginal entry
wherein appears the amount OF fine and
costs. There have been some cases Of
this character decided in this State, but
there was always something in the body Of
the Judgment to assist in the reference.
Tine Judgment of the alderman IN this
case is therefore ineffective and the prls-
oner is discharged.
In the other cases the judgment Is
regular on its face and in accordance with
the terms OF the charter OF the town Of
Dover, and after a careful examination OF
all authorities adduced and points raised
in argument, my decision must be a denial
