For some time past there have been
some ugly stories afoat relating to
harsh treatment by Lieut.. Blackington
OF Co. F and laying charges that he
has overworked the men who were Ill
and generally abused them. Some let
ters We're written by Augusta people to
Colonel Kendall telling of these things.
The colonel promptly showed the let
ters to LiaA. Blacklngton who de-
manded an immediate official investi-
cation into the truth Of the charges.
The investigating board composed OF
several officers of the regiment with
Major Peterson as chairman was ap-
pointed by the colonel and they have
had one sitting. The people who gave
the Information don't want their
names to be used before the board and
Colonel Kendall had been unable to
find out who they were. Some Of the
information has come from people in
che company who, are shirks and have
made boasts that they have got out of
nearly all duties.
In speaking of the matter Colonel
Kendall said that he regarded Lieut..
Blackington as one of his best officers
and did not think that he was guilty
Of the charges but if he was he should
suffer the consequences of his wrong
action.

of the day. Sunday. and Lieut.. Walch

The undertaken failed to embalm the
body or place the uniform on the re-
mains. The condition Of affairs was
not discovered until the case was OPEN

very indignant as was all the men Of
the regiment who told of it and if the
undertaken had been around he would
have needed a little embalming fluid
himself in very few moments.

HIGH MASS
4 BEAUTIFUL AND IMPRESSIVE
SERVICE.
Was Celebrated at the Roman Catho-
lie Cathedral With all the Detail and
Circumstance of st. Peters.

Easter Sunday. the most suspicious
day in the calendar of the Roman
Catholic church. was tittingly com
memorated yesterday by the celebra-
ton of four masses, the first at a.
m. and the last, a solemn pontihcal
high mass. at 1880. This was most
magnificent service and fitting finale
to the season of Lent. The main and
side affairs were resplendant with
Pickering tapers and brilliant flowers.
The celebrant was ri. Rev. Monsig-
nor Gulstan. Bishop of Ponopolis, as
sisted by Father Francis as deacon,
and Father Clement as sub-deacon.
who were arrayed in gorgeous vest
ments and insignia of their office, ana
were attended by numerous acolytes
in flowing robes. The venerable bishop
conducted the ceremonies in an i'm
pressive manner carrying out to the
most minute detail a facsimile of the
service as it takes place at st. Peters
in Rome on Easter Sunday.
The music was made a special feat
ure. The opening number was rem
dered by the st. Louis College band.
The choir was under the leadership of
! Father Valentine. who with his mag
| nificent voice led the other singers
| through the grand changes of Mil

particularize, but the sopranos were

has few equals. and he possesses the
gift of faithfully interpreting the
grand music of the Mass. The organ
was presided over by one of the nuns

upon his gilded staff. delivered an ell

The body of the church was allied

A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT.

In Vienna condemned criminal
was kept in complete darkness for
several hours previous to his execution
as preliminary to an experiment that
was to be tried upon him for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether or not
the retina of the human eye is OF
sufficient sensitiveness to hold the i'm
age of the object for any length of
time. He was instructed to fix his
gaze intently on building facing
the place of execution. on which a
very bright light fell. When the
black cap was pulled over his head the
eyes were prevented from accepting
any fresh image or picture; the eN-
ecution followed Immediately and the
examination held on the eyes within
a few minutes thereafter resulted in
finding the building as an outlined OBJ
iect on the retina. The details, how
ever, were wanting, and the picture
faded rapidly.
