VANTAGE MYSTERY uNsoLvED.
Death of Margarie Jackson Beln
Carefully Investigated.

Carefully Investigated.
 Wantagh, l.. l., Jan. 25.-The mys- tery surrounding the death of Margarie J. Jackson, the negro girl, who was found dead yesterday morning in an open lot near the Snithville South schoolhouse remained unsolved to-day. While the authorities are iDclined to the belief that the girl died from ex- posture, they have been tracing her movements from the time she left the Queens County jail until her body was discovered by Daniel Carpenter and John Baldwin, who saw it as they were passing along the turnpike. The body was found face downward, and near it were a pipe, a mans necktie and a school slate. The constable will en- deavor to find the owner of these ar ticles, as he believes that they may at least throw some light on the girl S whereabouts during Saturday night. If her death was due to violence she must have been killed some distance from where the body was,found as the hotel of Adolph Friseh is near enough for a woman's screams to have aroused the inmates. No one. in the hotel heard a sound during the night. Dr. William Rheme made an autopsy on the body this morning.
 The spot where the body was lying is an unfrequented place, and some per sons have been of the opinion that the girl did not wander there of her own free will. The young woman was dis ', on Saturday, after serving six months for vagrancy. She was twenty-six years old. Her mother lives at Smith, vile, South. She had not seen her daughter in long time

LOVERING'S BRUTALITY
COMMENTED ON BY THE JUDGE
ADVOCATE
# Such Things Are Allowed, the
American Soldier Is No Better
Than Slave

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-In the Lowering
court martial case at Fort Sheridan
Lieutenant Colonel j.. A. Hunten Of Fort
Smelling, Department Of Dakota, acting
as Judge Advocate. severely arraigned
Captain Lowering for his treatment OF
Private Hammond. When the testimony
was all in and Attorney Blair had ad-
dressed the court in defense OF Captain
Lowering, Judge Advocate Hunter arose.
After speaking of the Importance or the
case he took up the specification OF the
charges, saying that Lowering was first
accused of a failure to use legitimate
means to get a garrison prisoner before
q summary court and, second. that he
cruelty abused and ill-treated the pris-
oner.
"Gentlemen," he said, II submit that
In our military community any thing In
the nature Of punishment should con-
form to law, and that a general use of
arbitrary power or punishment without
trial is calculated to hasten our disband-
ment as an organization, not restrained
by law and in opposition to the spirit
of our free institutions.
Between the officers who exercise
power in the manner the accused did
and the enlisted men who are liable to
become their victimes, there can be no
other relation except that Of master and
slave. The general exercise in the SER
vice Of power and means such as the
evidence shows the accused to have en-
ployed would necessarily result in our
officers owning the enlisted men.
There would be little necessity for
military tribunals and Judge advocates,
for our system of discipline would be a
revival of the one in vogue before the
Civil war, on the plantations of the
South, where the right of the master
to the obedience and submission of his
slave in all lawful things was perfect,
and power belonged to the master to
inflict any punishment on his slave not
affecting life or limb which he might
consider necessary for the purpose of
enforcing obedience"
In conclusion Colonel Hunter said:
"In this trial I think there Is some
thing more than serious accusation
involved. I think the reputation of the
army officers for good Judgment, for
command of self, for humanity and just
consideration Is also on trial here. This
is a time of peril to your order and your
tribunals. think the things which the
accused has done tyrannically ought to
appear to you who have heard them just
as bitter and scandalous as they did to
him that felt them. The finding rendered
by this court will live long after the
taps have been sounded over the graves
Of the men composing the court"
The verdict in the court martial has
been forwarded to the secretary of war.
The court held a short secret session
today, at which the verdict was made
and despatched to Washington.
1t is the general opinion that Capt
Lowering will meet nothing worse thar
| a reprimand.
