said they were not the same that he
had seen in service. He described the
cans in Cuba, as round, dark brown
cans, without paper wrapping.
Lieut.. John s. Sewell OF the regular
army, who served as Major of the
First Volunteer engineers and was
aboard the transport that carried Clar-
ence Walters to Porto Rico, testified
that there was no canned meat aboard
this transport to his knowledge. There
was canned corned beef in cans such as
were described by Walters as contain
ing canned roast beef. He recollected
Walters, but the latter never had COM
planned to him of the ration Or of his
treatment while in the service. On the
contrary, Walters said he had been
very we'll treated.
r. c. Miller, of Rochester, a machin-
list by trade, and a private of the Eighth
Ohio, had had large experience with
canned roast beef while camped in
Cuba. His testimony was clearer and
more assured than that of most of the
enlisted men. About One-third OF the
canned beef was fit for use and the rest
condemned. One-half the refrigerated
beef had to be buried and OF the rest,
very little could be said to be good.
The men were hungry and ate 1t.

the habit of spending the night with Mrs.

SauerS.
Sauers strongly protests his innocence
and he has many friends about the city
who believe that he is falsely accused.
These ridicule the idea that he would at
tempt the unnatural crime while the girl
was in bed with he and his wife, as is
claimed by the girl.
At the preliminary examination man
named Johnson, who roomed next to
Sauers and his wife, stated that on the
night the crime is said to have been COM
mitted, he heard the little child say to
some one to stop that they were hurting
her Then the wife of the man said: III
you do such thing to her l will kill you
both" following which he heard the man
say that if they did not shut up he would
get up and leave the house. The child
then commenced to cry.
Mrs. Sauers denies all that Johnson said.
The child, when placed on the stand,
told how the crime was committed, in a
very explicit manner.
The justice remanded the prisoner to
Jail and reserved his decision until to-
morrow.

"Finally thinking the persimmon
ready to pluck, l one day fell on my
knees before her and poured out tale
of love that would put to blush the
most romantic novelist that ever lived.
"Judge of my utter surprise when
she informed me very calmly, that
though she valued me very highly as

marry me. In vain [ urged my suit
She was obdurate; still insisting, how
ever, that she liked me better than any
gentleman of her acquaintance; so for
the time being I gave it up. Consider
ably crestfallen, L took my departure,
but with the determination that on my
next visit would again plead my case
for, as have intimated, success meant
much to me.
"On my next visit, about month
later, with a new declaration of love,
which [ had studied up in the mean
while, 1 once more approached her on
the subject. She gently but firmly tried
to show me the utter folly of my i'm

cision is fixed and unalterable.' BY
this time [ had worked myself up to
pitch that 1 was really in love with her.

was useless and at last decided that
she was in earnest, and took her very
positive MOP for my answer and left.
