LIEUT.. FENNEssEY.
Another Day in The Court of Inquiry
ON His Action in Cuba.

Boston, Nov 1.-The court OF in
Iquiry which is investigating the con-
duct of Lieut.. Fennessey, quartermas-
ter of the Ninth Massachusetts regi-
ment. United States volunteers, while
in Cuba, continued their session here
today. The first witness was Lieut.
Michael j. Desmond, who was recalled
10, furnish the names he had promised to
furnish the court.
Witness stated that he based his ac-
cusatlons against Lieut.. Fennessey
upon the statement of Capt. Murray
and a private named Ivan Mahoney
who will give evidence of cowardice on
hnessey's part. Witness said that
Mahoney had told him that one time
either the 23d or oath of July he was
in front of Col Bogan's tent and that
Fennessey cried and said that he did
not want to go to the front, because it
was dangerous. Witness could not
say of his own knowledge that he could
substantiate any of the charges made
against the quartermaster.
Trooper Winslow Clark of Company
G. United States cavalry, was called to
show that the hardships of which the
Ninth regiment complained, were no
worse than those experienced by the
rough riders

went for "a hours at one time without
water"
Lieut.. Col. James Parker. 52th New
York, said that when the troops arrived
at Chickamauga the men had to sleep
on the wet ground with only one
blanket and no change of clothing. He
said that the first South Carolina regi-
ment did not receive their rifles for a
month after their arrival at the park,
the men being compelled to Go guard
duty without guns. The 21st Kansas
also had to do guard duty for two
weeks with sticks.
When the volunteers first arrived at
Chickamauga," said Col. Parker, their
tongues We're literally hanging out for
water. For three weeks they could not
get water enough TO quench their
thirst Then the pipe lines We're laid,
but the water the men got was not
pure. In my opinion, there We're wells
left at the park as landmarks which
contained water that was bad for them
to drink"
The usual precautions that are taken
with troops in camp were taken there.
l have spent several years of my life
in tents, having been a captain the 4th
cavalry, and 1 think regular Amy Of
hcerS will agree with me that The camp
was established on the proper plan.
Gen. Breckenridge, when he took
command, did more TO change for the
better the sanitary conditions than had
been accomplished altogether before.
He had lumber which had before been
applied for in vain, furnished the hos
pitfalls; he provided lime in great abund-
ance. He had new tentage supplied
and gave medicines when needed.
Upon my inspection ! found the
u faJes ,,Ff I'D
corps, of the third division, first corps
and of the second division, third corps,
very dirty. The first was placed
alongside a dump heap. The dirt in
these cases was due to the overcrowded
condition of hospitals. The surgeons
We're worked to death and too sick
themselves to look after the cleanliness
properly.
80 far as I know, neither General
Brooke nor General Wade ever made a
sanitary inspection of the camp.
Il think there was Discrimination on
the part of the government to purchase
lime. 1t could have been secured easily
or even burned by the troops. The
Quartermaster's department might have
accomplished much during this war
that it did not seem inclined to. 1t
would have been just as easy to estab-
lish at Chickamauga the ideal condi-
ions that prevail at Camp Hamilton
at the cost of not more than one dollar
per man."

POST OFFICE ON WHEELS.

Washington. Nov 1.-The post Office
department has ordered an innovation
in the postal service by the experiment

wheels" to operate in the vicinity Of
Westminster, Maryland. The service,
which is to begin shortly, calls for the
use of a postal wagon to travel over a
designated route in rural districts. Mail
boxes can be placed at some point on
the route for every farmer living with
in a mile or two from the proposed
route, and mail will be collected there
from. One important feature of the
contemplated innovation, which, if sue
cessful will be extended generally, is
that it will have money order and reg

The squire spoke hotIy. He had been

he was extraordinarily touchy on this one
subject-as all his friends knew-and to
argue with him about it was a certain
way to draw MIN. His reverence was not

seemed to enjoy prolonging the discus
sion out Of pure cussedness and prOvok-

The sound of the bell served in some

OF Interest to Farmers and Poultry
RaiSnrS

The Plankinton Packing Co. of Mil
waukee are now killing and shipping
large quantities of dressed poultry daily.
On May 10Th, the above named company
established and started the handling and
killing Of live poultry for shipment to
Eastern markets, dressed. A similar in
dustry has never before been carried on
in Milwaukee, and it is of great imDor-
lance to the farmers and raiSers of pOuI-
try in this section of the country, gem
orally, as it provides an extensive
market, which has not before existed
Since establishing this department the
Plankinton Packing Go. has found it
necessary to get the bulk of their sup
plies in this line from our Western
states, such as Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska. 1t will be to the interest of the
farmers of this section TO pay more at
tentlon to the raising Of poultry, knowing
that it can always be marketed, and at
liberal prices. Plymouth Rocks are pre-
ferred for dressing.
The scarcity of marketable live pouI-
try, in territory adjacent to Milwaukee,
seems to arise from the fact that this
city has, in the past, been more of
local market than anything else, but,
with the big outlet opened up by the
above company, and the fact that they
are in position to handle all classes of
poultry, should be an inducement for
farmers and poultry raisers to go ex-
tenslvely into poultry-rearing. The
Planklnton people make prompt returns
for all poultry consigned them, and the
only expense to the shipper is the cost
of carriage
