COURT MARTIAL OF LOWERING
Private WardeI Tells of the Treat
ment Given Hammond.

Chicago ILL.,, Nov. 23.-Private Wardell
was the first witness in the Lowering
court martial at Fort Sheridan to-day. He
morning of Oct 8, and of hearing the
sound of a struggle in the cell room. He
said he looked through the door and saw
Hammond being dragged by the arms
from his cell to the door, so he walked
into the cell room.
After you had gone into the cell room
did you receive orders to stab Hammond
with your bayonet?" the judge advocate
asked.
4 received orders from the officer of
the day, Capt. Lowering, to affix my bayo-
net and to prod the prisoner. Before this
Hammond had been dragged back to his
cell, and 1 went to him. l told him my
orders and he replied that 1 could run my
bayonet through him, he didn't propose
to move. This was reported to Capt Low
ering, who told me to wait for a moment,
and then he sent Sergt Brainard for a
rope"
What then did you do?" said the Judge
advocate.
II put my bayonet to Hammonds side
and stood guard over him while Brainard
went for the rope"
Judge Advocate Hunter was curious to
know who tied Hammonds feet together
and how the proceeding was conducted,
so he inquired if the witness remembered
any of the circumstances.
"A nom commissioned officer, whose
name 1 do not remember, tied Hammond s
feet, while 1 sat on the prisoner and held
him to the ground" said WardeH.
Were you present at the dragging?"
was asked.
Yes" wardeI answered, 1T helped
drag Hammond for twenty yards"
WardeH was then asked about Capt.
Lowering stabbing Hammond with his
sword while on the way from the guard
house to the summary court. The wit
ness stated that Hammond had been prod
ded both before and after he left the
guard house.
Presiding officer Gen. Ware, here inter-
rupted and asked in what part of the body
Hammond had been stabbed while on the
way.
Wardell said that the prisoner had been
stabbed on the hand.
where were his hands?" asked Gen.
Ware.
His hands were crossed behind his head
to keep 1T from dragging on the ground"
said Wardell.
Private Wardell was then excused.

WOMAN IN PoSToFFICE WORK.
THE GOVERNMENT SATISFIED
WITH THEIR SERVICE.

Comprehensive Reply Made to the
Request of the German Govern
ment as to what Has Been the Gem
erRI Experience of This Govern
ment With Women EmpIOyes-Very
Few Branches of POstomce Work
in which Women Are Not Capable
of Giving as Good Satisfaction as
Men.
Washington, Nov 23-Flrst Assistant
Postmaster General Heath has transmit
ted to the postal administra ton of the
German government a comprehensive re-
port on the employment of women in the
government service. He states that there
are 71.022 postofIices i'm the United States
at each Of which there are several en-
ployes, who lawfully may be either men
or women
Postmasters at third and fourth-class
offices select their own employees without
consulting the department, and it is ac-
cordingly impossible to give the exact
number of women employed in the postal
service. There are, however 1910 women
postrnasters, and perhaps $1,000 women to
whom the oath of Office has been admin
istered to qualify them to assist i'm con-
Quoting the business of the postGtIices
There are 167 women employed in the
postotfice department proper
Women the report says, are employed
in all branches of the postal service, ex-
Cept as letter carriers, clerks In the rail
way mail service and postoffice inspec-
tors. They are not debarred by rule or
regulation from entering any branch Of
the service In fact, there are postotfiCes
in the United States at which there are
none but women employed. The same sal
airy Is paid them as to men for the same
character of work. In the postoffice de-
partment salaries now paid to women vary
from 81, 400 TO $3.50 per annum, according
TO service performed, though there is no
rule preventing them from receiving more
than that, and as postmasters or assist
ants, they sometimes receive much large-
salaries.
Some of the most faithful and efficient
employees In the postofIice service are wo>
men.
Continuing, the report says it has been
mooted question for many years with
the heads of the executive departments
whether women can render as good service
as men, as the latter may be transferable
at all times to any position: whereas wo-
men may be confronted with duties in a
sense indicate or which requires too
much manual labor, But 1t is seldom that
duties devolve upon any clerk or officer
which cannot be properly performed by
women. 1t is the Judgment of the depart-
ment that altogether the service of women
has proven almost, If not equally. as sat
isfactory as that of men.
The report is made on a request of the
German government as to what has been
the general experience of the government
with women employees.

STAR COURSES OPENING CONCERT
Brilliant Entertainment by the
Krouheru Concert COMPANY.

brilliant Entertainment by the
KrOnberg Concert Company.
The most enjoyable concert of the sea-
son was given at the Guards hall last
night under the auspices of the Young
Mems Christian Association. 1t was the
first entertainment of the association
star course, and If the others are OF equal
merit it will be the most successful course
the association has yet given.
The Kronberg Company consists OF Mad
am KronDerg, soprano; S. Kronberg, bar
itone; Miss Marie Patterson, pianist, and
Mr.. Frank Kennedy, violinist. They are
all artists in the highest sense of the word,
and their work last night deserves to add,
II possible, to their already established
reputation Encores we're numerous, in
fact. with the exception of the first num-
her double encores were the order. MIR.
Kronberg has fine baritone voice, fiexi-
Bile. sympathetic and powerful, and his
first solo. Prologue from Pagliacci," a
most exactIng effort, blending all the ten
derneses, apssion and savageness of the
heart was given with a force and
artistic conception that has
seldom been excelled on the Savannah con-
cert stage.
Madame Kronberg has a voice of good
range, brilhancy, sweetness. Her Aria
Non Temer was followed by a slumber
song as an encore, and when it Is said
that both these numbers were sung In her
most charming manner, further comment
is unnecessary.
Miss Patterson's triple number, consist
ing Of a Scarlattf sonato. a Chopin noe
turne and Aus der Ohe's concert etude,
showed to advantage her broad and thor
ough culture. She is as much at home in
the old medieval music of Scarlati as in
the romantic school of Chopin and the
brilliant concert music of the day as typi-
cal in the Aus der Ohe number. Had she
been furnished grand instead of an up
right piano her numbers would have been
much more enjoyable.
The duet Alzira by Nine. and Mr..
Kronberg was warmly received and the
singers were forced TO repeat it.
Mr. Kennedy scored a most decided sue
cess by his Interpretation of Vieuxtemp's
Air Vare and in response to the prolong-
ed applause he played Home, Sweet Home,
which was so well received as to elicit a
second encore, the Intermezzo from Cav
alleria Rusticanna.
The double number Of Mr.. Kponberg was
to have been followed by two songs by
Madame Kronberg, but owing to the
length of the programme these were omit
ted. Russian folk song being sung in
stead.
After double number for violin, which
Mr.. Kennedy played with rare fire and
finish, the programme was ended by a
duet by Mr.! and Nine Kronberg with vio-
lin obligato and piano accompaniment.
In conversation with Mr.. Kronberg after
the concert, 1t was learned that he expects
to return TO Savannah during the early
part of next May under the direction of
the Southeastern Lyceum Bureau, and
will tour the principal southern cities with
a company consisting of sixteen vocal So
loists, an orchestra, and two violin and
two cello soloists. They wBl arrange a
series Of three concerts. the first consist
ing Of general concert and light oratorio.

the Men to whom Thorn Is Said to
Have Made COnfessiOn-ThOrn's
Lawyers to Put Him on the stand
to Refute Mrs. Nacl<'s Testimony
and Swear 1t Was She Who Com
mitted the Murder
New York. Nov. 23.-The second trial
of Martin Thorn for the murder of Will
liam Guldensuppe was fairly started this
afternoon in the Queens county court. The
lawyers for the prosecution and defense
diligently endeavored to secure jury as
quickly as possible, and when an adjourn
ment was taken yesterday evening, seven
Jurors had been sworn. An additional
panel of fifty was made up yesterday and
from these and the remainder of the orig
inal talesmen the remaining jurors were
selected. AS soon as the jury was com
pleted a recess was taken for lunch.
District Attorney Youngs opened the
case for the prosecution. AS soon as he
had finished the taking of evidence was
begun. The coroner and his deputy will
be called to the stand, and it is quite prob
ably that Gotha, Clark and others, who
say Thorn made confessions to them may
also b. examined. Mrs. Mack may also
be called.
That the lawyers for the defense will
put Thorn on the stand to refute Mrs
Nacks testimony and swear it was she
who committed the murder is now beyond
all doubt.
In addition to Thorn's testi.
mony. it is said on good au-
thority the defense will produce witnesses
who will accuse Mrs. Mack of having COM
mitted serious offenses, the nature of
which will not be disclosed by Thorn 3
counsel until it is made public property
in evidence.
John Mcclure, one of the boys who
FOUND the first bundle of Guldensuppe's
remains in the river, was called as the
first witness.
The testimony of the several witnesses
examined during the afternoon
related solely to the finding
of the different portions of
the body 1t was practically the same as
that gone over at the first trial, and moth
ing new was elected. Several of Gulden-
suppe's fellow workmen at the bath house

Identified the body as that of the missing
rubber and at 45O the court adjourned

Waves washing over Her and Life
Savers After Her Crew.

New York, Nov. 23.-An unknown
schooner was caught in a furious gale in
Gardeners bay Long Island, this after
noon, and, becoming manageable. was
driven on bar about three miles from
shore, on which there is hardly a fathom
of water. The nearest life saving station
is Rocky Point. on the sound, or northern
side of the bar, miles away. The men at
this station were notified, and the surf
boats, with other life-saving apparatus,
was drawn by a team of horses across the
country to the nearest point on the coast,
off which the schooner lay. The breakers
were dashing furiously over her, and her
condition looked hopeless. The surf boat
was launched ana the life-savers pulled
away, battling with the surf. Up TO a late
hour no news could be obtained as to
whether or not they had again landed.

THE HOLY LAUGH.
Peculiar Religious Services in the
Woods of GIynn.

REGULAR Religious Services in the
Woods of GIynn.
Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Residents from
the country districts bring information re-
garding a holiness" meeting now being
conducted in Glynn that is of an unusual
nature. The statement goes that Rev. Mr.
Lee, a travelling evangelist, has erected a
tent near the six-mile crossing, and there
conducts services twice daily. These SER
vices are attended by hundreds of people,
who come from miles around. The SER
vices are conducted with all the religious
fervor holiness meetings can have infus-
ed into them This includes the holy
laugh" strange form of exclamation pc
culiar to holiness meetings. During the
services spectators become so imbued with
the spirit of the meeting that they fall in
a trance and lay upon the
pine-straw covered ground for
hours at time, A prominent
Brunswick official cites, an incident of the
Sunday night meeting, which was ludi-
crous, although given with religious fervor
and not intended to be sacrligious. One
enthusiastic member shouted, This re-
ligion is getting to be epidemic" Another
replied: Yes, brother, it is contagious"
when from another part of the tent one
of the new converts exclaimed: Put on
the quarantine" The holiness faith pre-
scribes against the wearing of jewelry and
other fnery. Those who have become con-
cepting the faith in all sincerity 1t is
the first experience of the kind Glynn
county has had, and is evidently having
good effect
