DUNCAN HELD
 BY INDICTMENT Charged With Desecratiog Con- federate Graves at Bull Run. TRIED BY COUR RTMARTlAL
 
But Escaped Much More Lightly at the Hands of the Military Court Than Was Reported Surgeon of
 Kansas Regiment.

Washington, August 29.-Capt. Lowndes c. Duncan. surgeon of the Twenty-second Kansas regiment, is held by the sheriff of Fairfax county. Virginia, to answer an in dictment charging him with desecrating confederate graves at Bull Run, near Ma nassas.
 has now become famous. was not sentenced to five years Imprisonment, as reported from Camp Meade. Pa., butt escaped much more lightly at the hands of the military court, there being lack of evidence to prove that he actually took part on des- polling the graves. He was tried by court martial under the sixty-first and sixty second general articles of war.
 The first charge was conduct unbecom- ing to an officer and gentleman" the speci- fications being that he witnessed and par ticipated in the destruction of the grave of Major T. J. Duke, of the Fifth Alabama regiment, a well known confederate officer. pr. Duncan, however, was acquitted of any complicity in the despoiling of the Duke grave the evidence proving that he was not present, but in camp.
 The second charge under the sixty-second article of war was ''conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline" The specifica- tions were: CD That he participated in the dissertation of the grave of one Hum- phreys and, @ that he failed to exercise his authority as an officer in stopping the dissertation and putting the men so en- gagged under arrest. The first specification, that of having participated in the desecra- ton, he was acquitted, but on the second specification, the court found him guilty.
 The finding of the courtmartial, approved by General Davis, was that Surgeon Dun- can be deprived of his rank for two months be confined to regimental camp and forfeit half his pay for the same length of time, and that he.be reprimanded by the commanding general.
 How pr. Duncan is to be confined to regimental camp for two months. when he is now the prisoner of the sheriff of Fair fax county, is difficult to understand His regiment has moved from Thoroughfare Gap to Camp Meade, Pennsylvania It is understood that when the sheriff presented his warrant for him under the state indct- ment, Duncan was voluntarily surrendered. A clash between the state authorities and the war department may develop, though the case has not been brought to the atten- ton of Washington officials as yet.

THE SOUTHERN WILL BUILD A BRANCH To the Mines of the ivy Leaf Coal
 Company. SURVEY ALREADY COMPLETE Work Mill Begin Within a Very Short
 Time. MEANS MUCH FOR COAL OPERATORS Extension Will Be Four Miles iii Length Officials in Birmingham Pro- fess no Knowledge of
 the Report.

The southern Railway company will build
 another mineral extension to its system in
 the Birmingham district before the end of
 the present year. It will be about 40 miles
 in length and will run to all the mines of
 the Ivy Coal and Coke company in Walker
 county
 The survey of the route has been going on for some time and was completed yes-
 terday. The plans will be drawn within the
 next week or two, and after that it is
 thought that the contracts will be let as
 soon as possible. It will not take long to
 finish the road after work has once begun.
 The survey is an excellent one, the small
 est cut will be only about eight feet deep.
 and there is only one trestle of any i'm portance to build.
 The branch will leave the Southern at a point twenty-eight miles west of Birming- ham. It will run north along Horse creek in a beautiful and fairly level valley. About three miles from the starting point the track will pass under the trestle of the | Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingha | railroad, which spans Horse creek at that | point.
 Beyond this point the road will branch out in three directions and will run to the
 mouth of each of the Ivy company's mines. Purely Freight Line
 The extension will be purely a freight
 road there are no cities or towns of
 importance situated on it. It will join the
 main road midway between Moutnan Top and Cordova.
 This road means great things for the Ivy Coal company, as 1t will enable it to get its coal to market by two 'routes whereas their entire output is now handled by the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham road As has been published several times during the past six months, the Ivy com pany is backed by strong capitalists and they have expended lot of money in buy ing up the coal lands of Walker county and in opening and developing new mines. Officials Deny the Report What arrangements or contracts have been made between the company and the South | ern railroad are not known as yet. Walter Moore of the Ivy company was out of the city yesterday afternoon and could not be seen, while the officials of the Southern in Birmingham expressed ignorance of the
 whole affair.
 The Southern is showing great enterprise
 in extending it's road to the various mines
 in the district, as it has done in the case
 of the Sloss company's ore mines near
 Leeds, and in other instances. Nobody
 doubts that it will build the new extension
 which it is now suveying.

KICK AGAIN ST UNCLE SAM
For Practically Closing Up the Mail
 Boxes at the Depot.

The business men of the city are up In arms against Uncle Sam for practically shutting up the mail boxes in the union depot. 1t will be remembered that last week an order came from the postoffice department saying that the carriers only and not the depot mail clerk, should collect the mail from these two boxes. Now the mail has to go through the postoffice in- stead of being put directly on the trains.
 The business men say it is now impossi- ble to mail letter within half an hour before the train leaves at which time the mail is made up at the postoffice. This is an unnecessary hardship, they say
 petition is now being gotten up and a formal request will be made of the post office department to have the collections made from the depot boxes as formerly.

About ten or them got left when the trains left, and they continued their stroll around the city About supper time they struck several of the swell boarding houses of the city, can didly confessed they were lon the bum, not having had our pay for a long time and asked for their supper with a hoboish frankness
 Later on in the night after the three trains had been brought back from the wreck, many of the men strolled the streets nearly all night and made them selves as obnoxious as possible. The clti- zens treated them with the utmost courtesy, charitably considering that the poor fellows were wrought up by the thrill Ing experience through which they had recently passed. and also realizing that they were on the whole very formidable looking lot.

 Colonel Duffee Rampant.
 Colonel Duffy impressed those he came in contact with as being exceedingly rougt and uncouth for his rank. He and some of his officers amused themselves by "cussing out Birmingham in general, and the Louisville and Nashville road in particular, all the evenig and continued their rudeness in the lobby of the Morris hotel after the trains were brought back from the wreck.
 MT. David H. Brown, special agent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany, seemed to be the butt of their wrath. The colonels language finally became un- endurable, and Mir Brown Snatched out a revolver, but the officers standing around dsarmed him before he could use 1t. One of them pocketed the pistol and said he would return it when the regiment got to Huntsville.
 The colonel continued his profanity but was finally put to bed by the other officers.
 They said he was not drunk, but simply vexed and wrought up over the accl- dent.

A WONDERFUL RECORD

From the Chicago News.
 Not an American ship was put out of fighting trim from first to last; only one ship-the little gunboat Winslow-was seri- ously injured, and the whole death list, so far as the navy is concerned, can be count ed on the fingers of one, hand. For a navy which utterly destroyed two opposing fleets, to say nothing of a score of engagements with land batteries, this record alone shows degree of efficacy of which any nation might be proud.
 And the navy has furnished the popular heroes of the struggle. It was the navy that made the one great reputation of the war-that of Admiral Dewey
