question Of the armament OF the troops with proper

The reasons why the War Department is
arming the volunteer forces with Springfield
rifles are:
Ffrst-It was the only rife OF which the Gov
eminent had any considerable stock on hand.
Second-It the only rife with which the
volunteers. largely drawn from the National
Guard, were familiar.
Third-The adoption OF any other rife would
have required many months In which 10 fur

casualties among the "R )ugh Rllers" last week

that Congress in its parsimorious wisdom. has.

opinion, Judge Bennett discharged Mary J. Miller.
indicted Jointly with Adam Reid for the murder Of
Henry Miller. her husband Reid was tried and
found not guilty. The State had presumed the
completely OF Mrs. Miller throughout. and all evil
dence tended to prove such completely.
Mrs. Miers attorneys moved her discharge on
the ground that In Reds II was decided by
the fury that such murder had been committed.
hence Mrs. Miller could not be an accomplice
Judge Bennett sustained this view.
The case Is Identical with tat OF Governor Al.
knson's wife. who Is charged with forging papers
uttered by J. c. Owens. owens has been acquitted.
but Mrs. Atkinson is still under indictment Her
attorneys will hold that since no forged documents
were uttered by owens Mrs Atkinson cannot have
forged such documents.
