THE HAMMOND AFFAIR.
Inquiry Into His Brutal Treatment Mt
Fort Sheridan Ended.

Inquiry Into His Brutal Treatment Mt
Fort Sheridan Ended.
Chicago, Oct. 25.-The military court
inquiry which has been investigating
the alleged brutal treatment of Pri-
vate Hammond at Fort Sheridan on Oc-
tober 9 concluded the taking of testi-
mony Saturday evening. The testi-
mony is yet to be tabulated. The:court
will then write an opinion on the case
which will be returned to Gen. Brooke,
commandant of the Department of Mis-
souri,. Gen. Brooke will forward the
report to the war department at Wash
ington, and it's contents may possibly
never become public. The testimony
corroborated the reports of methods
used in enforcing the presence of the
obstreperous prisoner before SUM
mary court on October 0. Col. Robert
Hall. commandant of the post, was al
most the last witness called. He said:
IT it was necessary to prod Hammond
with sword or to kick him In order to
compel him to obey an order regard It as
perfectly justifable. There might come an
occasion when It would be necessary to
run him through with a bayonet. No man
who has the slightest idea Of military dis
cipline or what military discipline means
could for moment unfavorably criticise
Capt. Coverings actions. j approved his
actions then and shall approve them
now.

EIARTINSVILLE, Ind, Oct. ia band
of men and women religious enthusiasts
has been preaching on the streets Of this
city for several days and nights past. They
say that the end of this 'dispensation' is
coming in few months and that Moham-
mechanism will be wiped from the face of the
earth next year. They are also very bitter
against the churches, and say that all man
ner Of evil is in them. They are against
fashion and advise extreme simplicity of
dress. A sect called "Cramerites" has
grown up in this community whose doctrine
also is to fight the churches. The strangers
and the "Cramerites,' having doctrines
somewhat similar, met together last night
and proceeded to have love feast" This
ended in dispute on whiskers that lasted
until midnight.
The strangers testified how they had be-
come dead to the world by burning all
ing that she had been relieved of a great
burden when she burned her mothers pho
tograph. Then one of the strangers, with
full flowing beard got up and told how he
whiskerS grow to their full length. He said
that the Bible commanded all men not to
mar the corners of their beard
George cramer the originator of the
church fighting sect of this city, took ex-
ception to this and stated that the Jewish
laws in the Old Testament are not in force
now and that men have a right to wear
boards as they please. A general debate
speech in defense of shaving. Many others
followed with lengthy and learned dis
courses on this important subject until quite
midnight. The lCng-whisksred stranger
assisted by a woman belonging to his band
held out stoutly for his beard and was not
convinced of error when the meeting closed.
