ATLANTA, Ga, May 1.-The orders from
headquarters commanding an indefinite sit
ting of the present court-martial, convened
to try Captain Romeyn for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman, to-
gether with the sensational developments
of to-day's hearing, have given rise to the
belief that three other trials will result,
as follows:
Captain Romeyn to be retired under the
same charge for calling Lieutenant O'Brien
a 'cuckold" while under oath, and speak
ing of Lieutenant Bamford's relations to
Mrs. O'Brien.
Lieutenant O'Brien, for alleged miscon-
duct and drunkenness while in Japan as
the representative of the United States
during the C"hino-Japanese war, which
charges have been forwarded to the de-
partment at Washington by Captain
Romeyn.
Lieutenant Bamford, for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman. The
latter charge will grow out of the deVel-
opnents of to-day's hearing.
Captain Carter. Bamford's commanding
officer, testified that Bamford acknowledged
to him his engagement to Miss Romevn.
seeing a denial in a newspaper reported 10

it. Bamford said: Yes he had said so.
He subsequently denied that he had ac-
knowledged it to Carter. He later denied
to Garter that he had made this last state

room. Captain Carter testified to all these
things on the stand to-day. The hearing
was very sensational.

QUEER NAMES IN PUBLIC SERVICE.

Buffalo Courier.

The names which loom up here and

ana glorious country are really unique.
Ihey as as queer to most Americans as
they must be to the Russian, the Jap, the
Spaniard, the Hindu. If Mr.. XII Gudger, of
Buncombe county, North Carliana, goes to
Brazil, the amazed inhabitant of that
country will be no more at a loss as to
the sources of the honorable gentleman's
f1rSt name than President Mckinley must

IS not found in the dictionary lists of Chris
tlan names; Perhaps it is a heather one.
II sounds like it. Even the newly appointed
consul general at Paris, the Hon. Mr..
Gowdy, has the Yankee name that you read
of in English novels of American life. But
nobody will inger a moment on his name
when there avail him the names of

names are native ones-that is, names of

Trees and Electric wires.
Philadelphia Times.

InlIauelpnla Times.
Two of the greatest enemies to the city
trees are the gas mains and electric light
wires. These both work disastrous effects
upon nearly all vegetable nature. The gas
mains are very apt to leak somewhere un-
der the soil. and in time the soil becomes
so impregnated with it that it rapidly
poisonS the trees to death. The trees
should be placed as far from gas mains as
possible. Leaks in gas mains under ground
are often detected in Paris by the gardeners
before anybody else discovers the nuisance.
for the trees, more sensitive to the poison
than people, soon droop their foliage and
begin to die.
The French gardeners are very particu-
lar about having the high tension electric
current wires located so they will not come
in contact with the beautiful shade trees.
but in this country the wires are often al
lowed TO pass right among the branches OF
noble elms or horse chestnuts. Damage to
trees that are worth hundreds of dollars
naturally follows, and if the danger is not
removed death will in time supervene.
When the foliage of such trees become sat
urated with moisture the leaves become
good conductors, and the electric current is
drawn down into the very heart of the
trees. The friction of the branches on the
wires generally destroys the insulating ma
terial in spots and the current has free
egress. This has become such a menace

Death of Leon Pace,

1t is with regret that We chronicle the death of Leon Pace. son of our es- teemed friends, MT. and Mrs. w. w Pace, former residents of Apache coun. ty. We join with the many friends ol our former neighbors Tn extending our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. The Graham Guardian has the following:
 For some weeks past Leon Pace, the fifteenyear old son of Mir. and Mrs. w. w. Pace, of Thatcher, has been suffer ing with typhoid fever. Physicians were called but he grew steadily worse and for the last fourteen days he was unconscious and never spoke. Every thing that was in the power of human skill was done to save his life, but all efforts roved of no avail. and on last Friday morning at 10 o'clock he passed quietly to the sleep that knows no waking.
 "The funeral was held at the family residence. and was very largely attend ed. The remains were inferred in the Thatcher cemetery.
 "Leon Pace was bright boy of a jo- vial, although quiet disposition and all who knew him were his friends. He will be greatly missed, not only by his parents, brothers and sister, but by all lls associates.
