Of the careful training through which the

service Colonel Stacys command left
camp forty minutes ahead OF Major Dwy-
| crs, which was supposed to act on the de-
| fensive and attack Colonel Stacy after he
| had been given a chance to secrete his mon
and throw up entertainments.
The Second battalion threw out an ai-
vance guard, from which. in turn, scouts
were sent forward 10 locate the enemy.
After some very pretty work along these
lines, during which many prisoners were
captured, the larger portion OF Major Dwy-
er's was brought back to camp and there
repealed an attack made by Colonel Stacy.
The troops were deployed as skirmishers
and as the long line of blue swept down
through the pine trees few blank car

A MUTIN0US SAILOR.
John C. Siefarth Of the Koenigin
Louise Lands in the County Jail.

Policeman Weike, who is detailed along
the Hoboken steamship piers, a a lively
tussle yesterday afternoon with John C.
Siefarth, a steward on the Hamburg
steamship Koenigin Louise. On the high
seas the steward became unruly and tried
to incite his comrades to mutiny. He was
put in irons, but as the ship was about
to dock at Hoboken he expressed pend-
tence and was released.
Yesterday he went ashore, and when he
got back to the ship he was drunk and
ugly. He again tried to stir up trouble
among the crew, and when he vas APP
preached by the ships officers he drew a
big knife and threatened to kill the first
man who approached. Captain Bellipp
notified Police Headquarters. Hoboken,
and Policeman Wedke, who is a six-footer
and as strong as an OK, was sent 10 the
ship. Weike armed himself with a night
stick and was compelled to use it freely
on the rum-crazed sailor. Weike finally
landed his prisoner, who was bleeding
from a half a dozen scalp wounds, in Po-
lice Headquarters. There charges of in
suoordination, assault with intent to kill
and drunk and disorderly were preferred
against the fellow, and he was sent to
the County Jail.

THE NINTH RIDES AWAY
Affecting Scenes at the Bay
Street Station as the Brave
Boys Depart.


The Ninth New York Regiment left Jer-
sey City on Pennsylvania Railroad trains
at 7:30 O'Clock last night for the camp at
Chickamauga amid the cheers. tears and
farewells of thousands of the friends or
the officers and men. Nearly four thou-
sand persons gathered at the foot OF Bay
street to see the regiment off. Nearly
every person there had some relative or
intimate friend in the regiment.
The parting scenes were pathetic They
affected the police who were there to pre-
serve order. and there was no harshness
in their efforts to keep the crowds in
check while the troops landed. Probably
the most pathetic scene witnessed was the
parting of a young second lieutenant and
his wife, The woman had a baby two
weeks old in her arms. The husband had
been in camp three weeks. 1t was the
first time he had ever seen his child, and
he could only be with it and with his wife
for a COUPLE of hours. Even that time
was partly taken up in the performance
of his duties as an officer. The police ar
engagements were in charge OF Poace Cap
tains Kelly and Cox.

GREENvlLLE LUTHERAN RUMoRS.

In spite of all the talk going around in
Greenville to the effect that Pastor Sanft
of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church
on McAdoo avenue wds going to start a
church in opposition to the English Luth-
eran Church which Pastor Neudewitz or
ganized on Linden avenue a short time
ago, nothing has been lone by Pastor
Sanft. 1t is not thought that he will
take any action as a few people that know
him well and who are members of his
church, say that he is tired of the whole
thing and that there has been too much
notoriety attached to the matter already.
Ii seems clear that Pastor Sanft, in view
Of the. fact that he will have to work hard
to keep his church on a sound founda-
ton, has given up all idea of such a
movement.
Some Lutherans in Greenville say that
Pastor Sanft has his hands full in the
handing of his own church without or
ganizing another. and that he has all he
can do to keep his young people from go

say that their pastor never contemplated

TOO DRUNK TO STEAL.
Jury Believed Lawyer Speer's Plea
for His Client.

Charles Fitzpatrick, of No. 529 Grand
street, was tried in the General Sessions
Court this morning on an Indictment for
breaking and entering. Thomas Troy
keeps a grocery store at No. 531 Grand
street, adjoining the house in which the
defendant lives with his father. About
three A. M. on February Is, Troy heard
some noise in the store and found two
young men there. One of them climbed
through the pen transo1n and escaped
Troy captured the other one, who was
Fitzpatrick, and held him until Policeman
Charles Kelly arrived and took charge of
him.
The defence introduced by Lawyer Will
lam H. Speer was that Fitzpatrick had
been playing pool and drinking beer and
was so Supplied that he did not know
what he was doing.
While he was sitting on his own stoop,
Frank Dowdy, a general thief, came
along and persuaded Fitzpatrick to go
into Troy's store and assisted him through
the transom. Dowdy was afterward
captured and is now serving a term in
the p~ententiary. Lawyer Speer convinced
the jury that the defendant was too
drunk to form any intent to steal, and
they acquitted him.
