WHY HE TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
Had Business at Chicago-Captain Lover
ing Sure He Was Doing Right.

Lieut. Col. Bainbridge ordered the
rope united just as 1 was called before
the court. At 2 o'clock l asked TO be
taken TO the hospital. where the doctor
sponged the blood from the sword
stabs." Colonel Snyder asked Hammond
why he left his barracks at Plattsburg,
N. Y. He replied: II had some private
business in Chicago, and as the inspec-
tor general was at the barracks / knew
the request for release would be refused
/ had no intention of deserting and re-
ported at Fort Sheridan so at not TO be
so ranked. / expected to be confined,
but thought / would be returned to my
post, and after sentence restored to
duty"
Captain Lowering then took the stand
Throughout the time he was being ex-
amined he remained cool and answered
the interrogations with indifference He
admitted that by his orders Hammond
had been dragged from the guardhouse.
and he admitted that he had struck the
soldier and had pricked him with his
sword. None Of this treatment. the cap
tain said, had injured Hammond in the
least, as the subsequent report OF the
surgeon who examined him would prove.
The methods he used were, in his opin-
ion, necessary for the discipline Of the
army.
The captain insisted that in case he
had allowed Hammond to defy him and
remain In the guardhouse without pun
ishment Of the sort he had inflicted a
lasting and irreparable injury would
have been done the service. He said
the blows and the use OF his sword had

captain was excused and Lieutenant

STICKS TO HORSES.
Parson Arney Resigns His Pastorate to
Raise Fine Stock.


Niles. Mich, Oct S-Rev. j. w. Ar
ney, familiarly knC~n as Parson Ar
ney, has made a public confession that
he is a back-slider and says he never
intends TO preach the gospel again. Mr.
Arney was a Methodist preacher, but
was asked to withdraw from that church
because he insisted on owning race
horses. He then began preaching fol
the Congregationalists and filled an ap-
pointment at Lansing. From there he
went TO Otsego two years ago. His
love for a good horse has not lessened
and he has owned many fast equines
since his residence there. He closed his
pastorate Sept. last and has dealt
quite extensively in horses since that
time.
At a reception lately he was called
upon for a speech. He said he was a
backslider and did not hold to the same
faith he had for years past He die

man. He said he had vision OF better
things. The churches, he declared, were

TRAce ~oveMeNT IS IRREGULAR.
Demand Has Fallen On, but the Volume
of business Is still Large.

OF business La still Large.
New York, Oct. 23.-Bradstreet's says:
While the general trade movement 10
somewhat Irregular. and there are fur
ther evidences OF falling of in demand.
the volume Of business continues Of
large proportions. Speculation in wool
has ceased and demand for the staple is
less than for weeks past. Cotton goods
are dull, and jobbers report dry goods
slower than a week ago. Interior mer-
chants in the central west have not dis
tributed fall stocks as promptly as ex-
pected. and many jobbers at western
centers find that they over-estimated
the consumptive demand when secur-
ing fall goods. Unseasonably warm
weather has interfered with the move
ment of heavy goods at the west, but
rains in Kansas, Oklahoma and Me-
braska have improved the agricultural
outlook.
The industrial situation continues to
furnish employment to as many persons
as at any preceding period this year,
and at higher wages. Production Of
iron, steel, machinery, stoves, structural
work, glass and woolen goods con-
tinues heavy. Steel mills have orders
TO carry them into 1898, and decline con-
tracts for next years delivery. This
explains the advance in the price of
Bessemer pig iron, while the foundry
grades remain unchanged. The extra
ordinarily heavy and steadily increasing
production of iron is starting up far
naces long out of blest.
There are 205 ~ mess failures re-
ported throughout the United States

Indianapolis, Oct. ga joint service
of Disciples and Friends was eagerly en-
tered into by both denominations yester-
day. The Friends spoke and prayed as
the spirit moved them. AT times there
were as many as half dozen persons on
their feet at the same time, awaiting
recognition from the chair The Disci-
plies were equally as anxious TO say a
word Of greeting and Christian unity.

minutes the two conventions sat togeth-

terial change being that each yearly

Having Taken IL Into His Head That He
Would He Carried to a Court Martial =
And Now the Onicer Who wouldnr
Have Him Carried, but Dragged Him
Along the Ground. Is Trying to Explain
That He Did the Right Thing.
Chicago, Oct. 23.-The court of inquiry
called TO investigate the alleged brutal
treatment of Private Hammond at Fort
Sheridan. met yesterday. Hammond is
the man who surrendered himself when
absent without leave, in order to avoid
charge of desertion, and then con-
cluded that, as in his opinion he was
not being legally treated, he would not
walk to the room in which a court
martial was sitting. but would be car
vied. He was not carried, but dragged
by the heels at the end of rope. Ham
mond was the first witness and under
oath he testified that he had refused to
60 to work and was ordered from the
guard room into a cell. Saturday at $50
/ was told i would have to appear
before a summary court. 1 told the
officer of the guard If he wanted me he
must carry me there.
Dragged Out of the Guard House.
Captain Lowering came with two
members of the guard. The order was
given to the sentries to step in and
drag me out, so my back would strike
on the doorsill. The sentries took hold
Of me and threw me to the floor and
was dragged out Sergeant Barnard
tried to hold me down onto the sill so
my back would be scraped. / was
dragged to the guard room outside, and
as / went through the door Captain
Lowering put his heel over my head and
threatened to stab me in the face. Then
/ was allowed TO walk back TO my
cell. Later Captain Lowering returned
to my cell with four sentries, and gave
the order, Go in and jerk that man
out. The door was unlocked and two
sentries stepped In and threw me. Cap
tain Lowering kicked me in the side
while l was down four times with
his foot, and as l went over the sill
slapped me over the right side to the
left, and prodded me twice more with
his foot, and gave me three more vio-
lent kicks about the shoulders.
Says the Captain Cursed Him,
During this scene he cursed me con-
stantly, using the vilest kind of oaths
as he sneered, Now, will you get up?
Will you walk now? Lowering then
ordered rope and gave orders to have
my feet crossed and tied at the ankles
I placed my hands behind my head
when Lowering and the sentries began
TO drag me. He prodded me in the
right hand with his sword and then in
the shoulder. / was dragged to the
guard room and out to the porch, where
with one hard jerk they started me
down the stone steps on my back across
the road. The sentries were reinforced
by two others. / was then dragged
over pavements and roads to company
DIS steps, UP the steps, then down again,
across the pavement, and under the
tower to company AS steps, and finally
up into the adjutants office.
