The Last Horror.

To the Editor % The Times
Is Ensign l. F Middlebrookr L. g N
whose letter is published in The Times
this morning a myth or a mano II he is
a man. wearing the uniform Of the
United States. there are several men in
the service of the United States. one of
them the surgeon Of the three division
tents at Monrauk Point. which the en-
sign mentions, who ought TO be tried by
a drumhead court-martial and shot
within twenty-foUr hours after the court
convened.
That court ought also TO inquire and
locate without mistake the responsibility
for the appointment and detail of this
drunken beast and two other firing par
ties should attend TO these TWO. no mat
ter how high or low their rank
Another inquiry should be as to who
sent these transports the ensign de-
s~ribes and who appointed men 10 official
positions which gave them the power to
starve and murder American soldiers
Another drUnhead COurt-martial and q
few more firing parties should dispose Of
these officials. .
l hope. for the credit Of the American
nation that you have been imposed upon,
that there is no Ensign l. F. Middle
brook. l. s N and that the story. over
that signature in The Times. is a ski!lful
fraud II would be better that news
paper should be deceived than a nation
diSgraced
If il is not fraud. if The Times has
not been deceived, the men guilty of the
crimes charged should be damned
throughout time and eternity. We are
taught that the mercy OF God is bound
less but surely it cannot extend TO the
wretches who are responsible for the con-
ditfous described by Ensign Middlebrook-
| am certain that mans mercy cannot
reach them.
In 1S64 when the prisoners from An
derSouviIie We're landed at Annapolis and
could not walk from their transports. a
howl of horror and rage swept the land.
There vas some excuse for the condition
of these men. They We're prisoners, and
their captors had not much TO eat Yet the
keeper of that prison was hanged. Let the
same justice be neted out TO the men
who starve American sOldiers-nOt prison
ers. but victOrs. only let the guilty men
be cruCified head downward.

than three millions within hundred

he says. TO land 1s.0OO men on the bare

done without some hardships-especiai
when most OF the men are half sick from
starvation and exposure. But the is. 90
men were not all landed at one time nor
within a week. There is lumber enough
in the neighborhood for buildings for a

Women Can Conduct,
(From the New York Tribune.

The experiment of employing women as con.
ductors the street cars of Chillicothe. Ohio,
has proven success. A local paper says that
they perform their duties in polite, faithful and
conscientious manner, with no funny business
about it, and command the respect and admira
tion of everybody. Even the roughnr element
of mankind. who do not hesitate to impose on a
man, are toned down by the gentler influence
and do not attempt any forbidden privileges, for
they know it would not be tolerated for a mo.
ment. The conductors in number ali

srssed of an unusual degree of attractiyeness The
women work nine hours each day, with one day
off each week, and receive 81 week for their
services.

Milwaukee, Oct. IA special from
Rice Lake says: Relief parties are
now out through the burned districts
south and west of this city. The loss of
life from the disastrous forest fires can
not now be estimated, but 1t will be
great. The work of getting to the
burned districts is slow as all the
bridges are down. Over one hundred
persons are missing.
Many dead bodies have been found
and they are burned beyond recogni-
ton. The remains of one man by the
name of Nelson was found in the fore
noon at the bottom of a well, where
he had gone to escape the fire. At
another place a woman and two chill
dren were found In well. The woman
was SO badly burned that she will die.
At another place where a man had been
blowing in field, his charred remains
and the carcasses of his horses were
found. All the cattle. horses and other
stock in large district have been
burned to death. Even the Wild ami
mails could not escape the flames.

tensive loggers In Wisconsin. has re-
turned from a trip to his camps at
