General Davis Who Convened

Aside the Verdict.

Camp Meade, Pa, Sept. 14-Upon the
PRONUNCIATION of the finding of the Second
division court martial, convicting Regi-
mental Surgeon Louis c. Duncan of the
Twenty second Kansas of knowingly per-
hitting the dissertation of Confederate
graves at Manassas by soldiers on the
march from Camp Alger to Thoroughfare
Gap, early last month, General Davis, who
convened the court martial, set aside the
courts findings and restored Duncan to
the service, in vigorous language not at
all complimentary to the finding of the
court. Lieutenant Colonel Wagar, Third
Missouri, and Lieutenant Colonel Burn
ham, Fourth Missouri, were members OF
this court.
The record in the case Of Lieutenant
Guy Morgan, Twenty-second Kansas,
charged with participation in this grave
offense, will be made up tomorrow. The
verdict is acquittal

Dynamite Explosion.
Two Boys Severely Cut and
Bruised Thereby.
4 CARTRIDGE FOUND
On Ground Where a Show Had
Exhibited.
Second District w. C. T. u.
Elects New Officers.

Fort Scott, Sept. 14.-Ross Benham,
son of Groceryman c. A. Benham, and
Don Mcdonald, son of Judge J. F. Nc
Donald, late of Fort Scott, who is stay
ing at the home Of Mrs. A. c. Bennett
on the plaza, were injured yesterday
morning on the south side of the Rich
ards block by the explosion of a dyna-
mite cartridge, which a third party
tossed at their feet and exploded.
The cartridge was found by the son
of W. S. wilkins, who drives the mail
wagon, on the grounds where Uncle
Toms Cabin showed Thursday night.
Unconscious of what it was or what a
dangerous and mighty tool it was the
boys began playing with it, tossing it
in the air and throwing it around. The
Benham and Mcdonald boys, aged about
Il and 10 years respectively, were
standing within a few feet of Wilkins
when he threw it on the sidewalk be-
side them in an attempt to frighten
them, never dreaming that it would
discharge. As soon as the cartridge
struck the ground it exploded, the sharp
copper from the cap flying in every di-
rection. Both the boys were hit, Ross

Will Got No Pay.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE whalers
who arrived on the revenue cutter Bear
are anxiously waiting to hear whether
the Pacific Steam Whaling company
will provide them with transportation
to San Francisco. The whalers went
north on a lay" that is, they were to
get a certain per cent of their catch
but as their vessels and catch were
lost the company owes them nothing

only as a courtesy. OF the vessels that
were frozen in last winter at Point
Barrow, the Fearless, Newport and

IS that disturbances on the sun. which
are made manifest by sun spots" are
followed by warmer weather during the
IA or l6 days in which they are on the
side OF the sun facing the earth. The
spots are the result of increased activ-
lty of the solar fires, which caused more
