Wheeling Boy Writes About Soldier Life in
That City.
In a letter to c. B. Miller. OF this
city, Theo. H. Wurdack, of company G,
Fourth regiment, U. S. ", writes as
follows from Manzanillo, Cuba:
Our regiment is the leading volun-
teer regiment, and we hold all records.
but we lost one since we have been
here. We never lost man through
death until we got here, and to-day we
are losing from three to four a week.
The boys thought they could do just
as they did at home. They drank rum
just as they would drink beer. Rum
is the worst Thing on earth. One or
my friends got full on rum last week,
and we had lot of fun with him, and
all at once the rum went to his head,
and in twenty-five minutes he was a
dead man A man don't know when
he has too much. 1t comes all OF a
sudden, and it goes right to the head;
then a man don't know thing, and
they die in that awful condition.
No man in our regiment can get a
furlough. In fact, we are the most inn
portant regiment of volunteers in the
service, and we are WdCcneu very
closely. One of our men got his dis
charge last night He is Henry Bahra,
of Bellaire, a former chief of police
of that city.
The sisters here are getting to know
me better every day, and l give them
all the eatables they want. They will
do most anything for mig. They take
care of my clothes and do all of my
washing. There is only one church
here, and it is Catholic, and most of
its members are Spanish.

THE EATON CASE.

The Mandate of the United States Court
Received Yesterday.
Yesterday Sheriff H. c. Richards
received the mandate of the United
States court, signed by N. Golf, judge,
in the case of VIM. Eaton, petitioner
for writ of habeas corpus. The
mandate affirms the judgment of the
Circuit Court and denies the petition,
and the prisoner is ordered to be deliv-
cred to the proper authorities of this
State.
Eaton is under sentence for ten
years, for arson, and this appears to
settle his case.
