Gen Eapap,s court-martial.

testimony before the War lnves tiga ting
Commission, was held during two days oil

the charges.

claimed immunity under the Presidents
guarantee as to statements made before
the Commission, and that the language
used was only the natural outburSt of an
honest man suffering under an unjust
accusation.
Several officers testified that Gen.
Eagan's conduct of his office was per
fectly honest and he had always had the
good OF the soldier at heart. 1t was
shown that after Gen. Miles's testimony
Gen. Eagan was in most nervous con-
dition.
Gen. Eagan himself made very pa
thetic figure before the court and dis
played great emotion. He said that the
effect on him of Gen. Miles's testimony
was, chat he had taken away from me

had obtained after all these years of
service. He stated that | was corrupt.

confirmation of the worst he had feared
for Bronson and Had. He turned back,
oppressed with a greater sadness than he
had yet felt, and met on the way the
General and his staff-all in exuberant
spirits, and he assumed gladness that
was as bitter as NORWOOD.
The next day the General told O'Neil
that the possession Of the gunboats
would lead 10 an alteration OF the plan, as
he now was strong enough 10 send the
feet on up the river TO attack the Yankee
feet, and sink or capture the transports
while he was capturing the detached
regiments along the levee.
At midnight O'Neil was again awakened
by the opening OF the whole line of shore
batteries. Again he hurried 60 the river
bank and saw the heapeda w God piles and
the frame houses along the bank blaze
into pillars Of fire. Again he saw the
soldiers in a frenzy of excitement, and
hurrying 10 his former station, he saw
coming down the river what appeared the
most formidable monster that had dared
the gauntlet of the batteries. Lights
flashed on her decks and flames rolled
out Of the top OF her smokestacks, as If

Old Locks Insufficient.

The inadequacv of the Mononga
hela river locks to accommodate the
traffic on that stream is strongly rep
resented in the official report of
Major Powell, the engineer in charge.
This representation has been made
in previous reports to the depart
ment and cannot be too often re-
peated until the remedy is applied.
The coming session of Congress
should certainly provide for the en-
largement of the locks on the Mo.
nongahela to meet the demand Of a
constantly increasing river business.
The old locks are great ineonve-
nience to the present traffic, and
when the new locks above Morgan
town are completed they will be
more inadequate than ever. The
cost of constructing new locks will
not be so great that Congress may
not find the means.--Dispatch.

The death of Josiah Robe removes
a man from our midst who has long
been identified with Morgantown;
one who has led an upright life and
who bore the esteem of everyone.
He had always been a careful indus
trious man, honorable in his bust
ness transactions hence had long
since amassed competence. The
death of a man like him is always
felt in community.
In the August McCLURE's, Miss
Tarbell will give an account of the
death of Lincoln, based on the unpub-
lished recollections of persons who
were with Lincoln in his last hours
and were more or less eye witnesses
of his assassination. The article will
be illustrated with the last life por-
trait of Lincoln, facsimile of the
last bit of writing done by him, pic
ture of the scene at his death bed, and
other pictures.
PEOPLE are getting out of patience
with the Norman ''elders" who tramp
over the country trying to deceive the
uninformed and unsuspicious. A day
or two since two of them struck a
neighborng town but were unable to
secure place TO stay all night and
had to tramp on. They claim with a
meek expression that they do as their
Master did, that is, take no thought
what they shall eat etc. This is true
evidently as they are generally a lot of
penniless beats who go wherever peo-
pie will harbor them.
