RUN OVER by A TRAIN.
The Verdict of the COrOner's Jury
Accommodating Fox.

BOYDTON, VA, March 13.-(Special.)-
Saturday night the engineer of the train
that passes here at 9A2 o'clock, when
about one mile from South Hill. saw the
body Of man lying on the track some
ten feet from the engine. He quickly re
versed, and stopping, found he had run
over a negro. Your correspondent was
among the first to view the remains. Mr.
w. w. Meredith, of Brodnax. called the
attention of the conductor and trainmen
TO a seemingly old wound about the jugu-
lar vein, and expressed a belief that
the man had been murdered and thrown
on the track to cover up the crime. The
train wheels severed the head from the
body, but failed to obliterate the appa-
rent evidences of crime. At La Crosse
the matter was turned over TO Coroner
Reiney, who held an inquest upon the
body, the jury returning a verdict that
the man came to his death by lying down
i'm drunken stupor and letting the train
run over him. His name was found TO be
Lewis Jackson, and ii was ascertained
that on Saturday he had spent the day
at South Hill, drinking and carousing
around
The Boydton Hunting Club had a
chase CD Saturday with one OF their i'm
ported red foxes. After great deal of
worry and work the fox was induced TO
run about half mile. The dogs then
made short work of him.
Mr.. 4. B. Boyd, of Mayfield. KY, sold
a carload of mules and horses here Sat

siderably higher than usual.

GENERALS OUT OF 1T.
ORDER MASTERING A NUMBER
FROM THE VOLUNTEER ARMY.
LEE AMONG THOSE RETAINED.
wheeler Also I'm the Latter List-No
More Changes OF the Sort to he
Made mt Present-some Reductions
In Rank to he Made.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-By direction
OF the President. an order was issued to-
day mastering out large number OF
general and staff officers of the volunteer
army. The general officers thus mustered
out are as follows:
Major-General Joseph w. Keifer and
Embellishments Arnold, Alexander
Pennington. Snyder, Randall, Sheridan
Douglass, Boynton, McKibben, Carpen-
ter. and Humphreys.
1t should be explained that the reduc-
ton In the list Of general officers made
by this order is not sufficient in Itself to
meet the demands of the existing law
There must be a further cut-ln fact, the
list Of mai generals and brigadier-gene-
rails remaining must be reduced by ten
altogether, in order to bring the list down
to the nineteen permitted by the strength
Of the regular army.
REDUCTIONS IN RANK.
In effecting this reduction. 1t is the in
tention TO reduce some of the major-gene-
rails to the rank of brigader-general, in
stead Of mastering them out of the SER
vice. Also, in the case of some OF the
brigadler-generas yet to be dropped IL
will doubtless be found that instead OF
being mustered out of the United States
army entirely. some of the officers VINO
held lower positions in the regular army
will return to their former regimentai
and staff places
The major-generals who retain their
volunteer commissions at present are
Wade. Shafter, Otis, Wilson, f1tzhugh
Lee, Wheeler, Bates, Young, Lawton,
Chaffee Anderson. Macarthur, and Lud-
low
BRIGADIERS WHO REMAIN,
The acknowledgements remaining are
Frank. Wlliston. L. III. Carpenter Davis,
Schwan, Hall. Hasbrouck, Sanger Kline,
Gilmore, Wheaton. Ernest, King, Grant,
II. G.. Otis, Andrews. Hughes. Colby,
Wood, Ewers, Overshine, Reeve, and
Comba.
1t is not contemplated 10 make any
more changes in the volunteer general and
staff officers at present. Under the law,
the officers mustered out to-day could be
retained until the proclamation of peace
IS issued, but the President determined
to muster out all that could be spared.
