A DESERTER
CREDITED TO RICHMOND

DESERVE.

Daniel Q. Oliver OeSerter
Caught at Ft. Wayne Said to
be From Here-But no One
Knows Him.
Richmond has deserter credited 10
her that we are willing to deny belongs
to her of right. The article which ap-
pears below was found in the Indi-
annapolis papers this morning and an
investigation was begun to see whether
the person mentioned belonged here
and it was found that no such name as
t0Af~sr srupVUHws-s.s-Aa -Aa.~@r-s;se.Aa~ys~a1a
several of the factories being asked
said no such man had ever been hired
by them. In tho list of those mustered
in by Captain Black no such name was
credited TO Richmond, so we believe
he does not belong here. The way the
mistake originated is probably due to
the fact that a Mrs. NJ. f. Silver sent
a dispatch from here yesteid day but this
lady also went Immediately to Indi-
annapolis.
The following is the dispatch in
question:
David S. Oliver of Richmond en-
listed about a month ago in the heavy
artillery of the regular army and was
assigned by Captain Black to duty at
Fort Pickens, Florida. After a short
experience with army life he sickened
of his new calling and finding favor
able opportunity took French leave of
the camp and made his way to this
state again. For several weeks MOTH
ing was heard from him, until yester-
day Captain Black was notified of
his arrest by the Fort Wayne
police in that city. 1t seems the
gravity of the offense worked on
the mans mind. and as the limit of
time drew near within which he could
return to duty and escape the extreme
penalty now in force for desertion in
time of war, he finally decided to give
himself up, and did so. He will be
held at Fort Wayne until an officer
can be detailed to take him back to his
regiment. Acting Adjutant Barr of
Chicago telegraphed Captain Black
yesterday that no men were available
for guard duty from that place, and
the war department was asked TO send
a guard from the Columbus, Ohio,
barracks to take him. His mother,
Mrs. NJ. f. Oliver, is now at her home
in Richmond. and yesterday sent a
telegram asking particulars of the
affair and what time he would be taken
back to his regiment for trial. The
maximum penalty for his offeuse is
shooting, and the minimum is one
year Imprisonment.

The NJ. f. Church South Book
Agency Scandal.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July S.-The
senate committee investigating the
payment of 100000 to E. B. Stahl-
man as agent for getting an appro-
priation for the Methodist Book Con-
cern at Nashville reported that the
senate was deceived by Stahlman and
Barbee and Smith, book agents, but
absolves the Methodist church south
from blame. 1t also says no senator
or member of congress received money
in connection with the claim.
