GEN. WoODFoRD RESIGNS.
Gives Up His Post as United States
 Minister to Spain.

Washington, September 23.-Following the custom in the case of minister who has been obliged to leave his post by the break ing out of hostilius, Stewart l.. Woodford has filed his resignation as minister to Spain. It Is believed that it will be six months before the United States has oc- caSion to send a minister to Madrid again. and if MT. Woodford's resignation remains so long unacted upon his status will be merely nominal, for under the law his sal ary ceased after the expiration of sixty days from the date he left hls post, with the addition ( sufficient period of time to enable him to return to the United States.
 It might have been possible for General Woodford to have returned to Madrid in the capacity of United States minister, but this would only have been the case had the Spanish government seen fit to make re- quest to that effect. Otherwise, it is cus- tomary for political reason, to send new minister to avoid a revival of bitter feeling and to rstore harmonic relations between the two governments lately at war. Should the United States government, in disregard Of this conventional usage, persist in re- turning Woodford to Madrid, it would find itself obliged to receive Senator Bernabe late Spanish minister to Washington, whose course in establishing a system of espion- age in Canada during the war, rendered him in some degree unpopular in the Uni ed States.

TWO SOLDIERS KILLED.
Pflyates Melbourne and Tipton Run
 Over by Train.

Montgomery Ala, September 23.-(Spec- ial.)-Two volunteer privates came to their deaths here last night from the effects of drinking too much whiskey. One accident occurred at 10 p. m. yesterday, the other just before day this morning.
 Both were members of Captain Vaiden's composite company. whieh was let to guard the effects of the Second A abama regiment Private Wallece Melbourne was killed by train at Camp Herbert. He had been drinking hard since payday, and had been having fits. It is presumed that when struck by the locomotive at 10 o'clock last night, he was either sitting on cross- tic or staggered upon the track in the de- lilium of intoxioaton or illness. He was a member of the Mobile Cadets, but his home was at Ocean Strings, Miss, to which place his remains were sent nglt
 The second tragedy occurred about DO yards south of Winters store tn the su- burb of Vesuvius, where about 430 o'clock this morning sore 90 diers from Camp Herbert found the horribly mangled re- mains of one of their comrades beside the track of the Werttrn Railway Of Alabama. At frs. i'd enti tification wcs difficult, ol a. count that the mans clothing as well as his todY and limbs was al~o-t ton u shreds, but on the arrival of Capt il Vai- den, he recognized the body as that of iN9oelt JHloHi prlVdle Tn HIS regular company, the Uniontown Rifles. Company K. of the Second Alabama regiment Tbis was the second shock of the kind which ttat excellent officer had sustained. ard he was naturally much affected. but he promptly took measures to have the re- mains properly cared for. Tipton's com rades believe that he had been drintiNg too heavily and went to sleep on the track. ai- though there are many who believe h. had gotten into a row with negeo tout hs on his way back to camp, ben killed by them and his dead body placed on the tr 2cl1 in the hope of avoiding detec' ion Of tn ar crime. Of this, however there seems to be evidence as yet.
 At o'clock this afternoon the fure~a' services of Private TiDton were conducted by Rev Neal Anderson, at Tiee's rnd er- taking establishment -on South Court street. and his remains were inferred with military honors in Oakwood cemetery here.

The Murderous KsA.

Scientists have been some time studying
the habits Of tho bird known a. the ken,
or tho mountain parrot. Of New Zealand,
which has acquired the remarkable habit
Of astaoktng aheep and tearing opsn their
backs BY means Of its sharp and powerful
beak for the purpose Of abstrauting tho
kidney fat, which appears to be esteemed
- . luxurious diet. It has been suggested
that this; peculiar habit or instinct was
developed By the bird getting the tat from
the skins OF sheep that had been slangh-
tsred, but this solution IL not very satis-
factory, as there appears nothing TO con-
nect the fat on the skins Of sheen with live
animala FIX
A more probable solution Of the origin
of the habit is as follows: In the hilly dis
tricts Of New Zealand there is a great
abundance Of white moss, or lichen, which
exactly resembles . lump Of white wool,
Of the roots Of which are found small
white fatty substances, supposed by some
TO be the seeds Of the plant and by others
TO be q grub which infested It, and these
are q favorite food Of theskca. Probably
the bird, misled BY its resemblance, COM
menoed an exploration In tho backs Of
sheep, and THU, proving satisfactory, orig.
mated tho now habit In any event, 1t II
