EAGAN COURTMARTIAL.
Records of the Case Now in the Hands of
the President.

Washington, February 2.-The record of
the courtmartial in the case of General
Eagan is now in the hands of the president
for final review.
Today Mr.. Worthington, attorney for
General Eagan, filed with the judge advo-
cate general the additional or supplemental
plea which he was granted permission to
lodge.
1t was an elaboration of the points made
by counsel before the courtmartial A
formidable array of authorities has been
produced, particularly in support of the
contention that General Eagan's conduct,
though the facts he admitted, was not le-
gally in the line of the charge of conduct
unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
This paper was placed by the judge adj
vocate general in the hands of the adj
jutant general and will be added to the
papers bearing on the case now in the
hands of the president

AGAIN ST WHEELER.
Finding ofthe Board ofInquiry Unseats
Him.

Washington, February 3.-The inquiry or
dered by the house of representatives as to
what members had forfeited their seats by
reason Of accepting, other offices ended to-
day with finding by the judiciary commit
tee that Major-General Wheeler, a member
from Alabama; Colonel James r. Campbell,
of Illinois; Colonel David C. Colson, of Ken
lucky, and Major Edward e. Robbins, of
Pennsylvania, had vacated their seats in
the house by accepting commissions in tho
army. AT the same time the committee
determined that none of the members of
congress serving on civil commissions had
thereby vacated their seats in the house.
General Wheeler was seen after the find
ing was announced, but asked to be excused
from commenting on the decision, as 1t was
in the nature of judiciary proceeding. 1t
is said General Wheeler and his associates
will take no action for the present as the
finding of the committee is yet to be passed
upon by the house.

CUBANS ARE MAD
Because Gomez Accepted Proposition
for Disbanding Army.

Havana, February 3.-Among the Cuban
leaders who have given expression to their
views, on the subject it is asserted that
General Gomez was not authorized to
agree to the disarmament of the army with
out consulting the Cuban assembly and OBJ
tanning its permission.
Indeed, when the report arrived that
Gomez had accepted Mr.. Porter's PROPOSE
ton on behalf of the president, many doubt
ed it, refusing to believe that he would act
in this fashion. A prominent Cuban said
today:
"If the news is true the Cuban assembly
will have grounds for proceeding against
General Gomez. The idea of 100000 as a
gift from the United States to the Cuban
soldiers is repugnant and wounds the pride
of Cubans."
A number of interviews obtained today
with prominent Cuban generals go to show
the feeling in the higher military circles.
Mr.. Robert p. Porter before sailing for
Miami, Fla. made the following statement
to the correspondent of the Associated
| Press:

HOTEL QUARANTINE.
Three Gases of Smallpox Cause Conster-
nation in Omaha Hostelry.

Chicago, February "A special to the
Record from Omaha says:
The spectacle of an entire hotel full OF
guests being quarantined and armed po-
licemen standing at every door and window
to prevent the people escaping is presented
in Omaha tonight. This morning three we'll
defined cases of smallpox were discovered
at the Vendome hotel, located in the center
of the city.
The health department was notified and
plans were quickly decided upon for quar-
antining the place squad of armed po-
licemen raced to the scene and when the
guests started on their accustomed duties
this morning they were driven back into
the house by force Travelling men begged
to be permitted to get away, guaranteeing
to leave the city by the first train or afoot
If necessary. Several daring fellows, who
preferred any sort of an adventure to being
shut up for ten days, slipped out the sky
light, scaled the adjacent roofs and maxi
ing their way through snow and ice over
the house tops in safety managed to reach
the ground after many narrow escapes. A
number of Chicago and St. Louis travel

the use of its rooms to visitors and other
courtesies that may be required.
The following resolution, which was intro
dueed by request and adopted, preeipitated
some little discussion as to the propriety
of the club taking up such matters at every
meeting, since one Of the cardinal princa-
pies of the club was to foster home INDUS
tries. The opinion was expressed by some
of the members that the constitution COW
cred all such matters, and 1t was therefore
unnecessary to reiterate 1t at every meet
ing:
Where as, it has been the custom hereto
fore to send the orders for uniforms for our
police force to other cities, and
Whereas, the Commercial club has al
ways encouraged home enterprise; there
fore, be it
Resolved, That we respectfully request
the police commission, If it is in it's power,
to see that the spring uniforms for the po-
lice force are made by Birmingham mer-

The following resolution, which was In
troduced as stated by Major F. Y. Ander-

He disclaimed any knowledge of its intro
duction, but gave it his Endorsement:
Whereas, 1t is undemocratic to levy a
war tax in time of suspension of hostilities;
therefore, be 1t
Resolved That our representatives in con-
gress be urged to vote for the removal or
modification of the onerous war tax now
bearing so heavily on the commercial inter-
ests of the country
Mrs r. d. Johnston appeared before the
club in the interest of the Industrial School
for Young Criminals She was introduced
by Major Anderson, and in a few excel
lent remarks explained the plan on which
1t was proposed to build the school, briefly
pointing out the need of such an institution
and requesting the cooperation of the club
towards securing land on which to build.
Mrs Johnston's remarks were given close
attention.
Mr.. Rhodes moved that the movement be
indorsed. Mr.. Conner wanted to know what
was meant by Endorsement. If 1t was pro-
posed to start subscription list he offered
to head 1t with 500.
Major Anderson stated that as he under
stood 1t, all that Mrs. Johnston asked was
assistance in securing land, and moved that
a committee of five be appointed to assist
Mrs Johnston in getting it, The motion
was seconded by Mr.. Rhodes and was
adopted. The chairman announced the fol-
lowing appointments on the committee
Robert Jemison, Rufus N. Rhodes, f. Y.

SAFE BLOWERS
Rob Union Depot of the Southern at
Woodlawn.

Safe cracking artists got in their work at
Woodlawn last night and the union depot
of the Southern, A. G. S. and Central of
Georgia railroads was broken into and the
safe robbed of thirty or forty dollars.
AS yet there is no clue to the robbers but
they were evidently experienced hands, as
no tumble was made in the execution of
the job. 1t is supposed that 1t Is the same
crowd who made an attempt at cracking
the safe about month ago, but only got off
with some packages containing clothing in
the express Office. The tools with which the
job was done were taken from a black
smith shop near at hand and were left lying
on the floor of the depot.
An entrance was effected by prying open
the window After getting inside this room,
two holes were bored in the safe door and
filled with giant powder, blowing the safe
wide open
The robbery must have been done early in
the morning, as Marshal Parkes, of Wood
lawn, says everything was all right at 1870
o'clock
Though no trace of the culprits can be
found, the Southern Express company have
gone to work on the case and hope to soon
mako some arrests.

made by Messrs. Morrow and Lacey to
Examiner Cowan's report. In regard to
Mr. Crook he said that gentleman had told
him that Mr.. Cowan had said that there
was nothing in the report to reflect on
Commissioner Crook, who had only been
member of the board for about six months
AS to Commissioner Young, he had init
mated to the speaker that he would be
taken care of. Further, he could not an
swer the question. Mr.. Gibson then pre-
scented to the house two large rolls of pa
per which he said contained 1000 sigma
lures of the best democrats of Jefferson
county opposing the bill to abolish the
court. This bill is not endorsed by the
democracy of the county
"If it is passed it will place the county in
the republican column. 1 regret to see
this matter go as I know it is soon to CO.
You would not so vote, gentlemen, if you
knew the voice of the people," He closed
by stating the injustice of convicting these
defendants without a proper hearing, thus
disgracing their families for life
Messrs. Speaks, Seymour and Hef1in fol-
lowed in brief speeches in favor of the bill,
Mr.. Hefiin's references to Governor John
ston as the best and most courageous gov
ernor the state had ever had were loudly
applauded.
Mr.. Burkhalter moved the previous ques-
tion on the passage of the bill.
gunstan Closes Debate
Mr.. Tunstall, chairman of the committee
reporting the bill, closed the debate, speak
ing against the measure. He dealt with the
charges contained in the report and the re-
ply by the commissioners. He did not
want to go on record as discharging a man
from office who was nominated and elected
as a democrat The people of Jefferson
county should try the defendants.
The vote was then taken and resulted as
follows:

Sir:
No work as yet done upon the
Black ] ack since last letter, and no
deal yet contaminated but are still
expecting at any time to hear that
something has been done. Should
present negotiations fall through
the owners of the above mine will
atonce commence shipping ore, and
are already making preparations to
do SO. Tbs boys know they have a
bonanza and are going to realize up
on it from now on. Both dumps
are filled with an excellent quality
of shipping ore and plenty more of
the same to be had in the nina.
Development work is being done
upon the Last Chance, of Fiddle
creek. The above claim has a
good foot-wall and the owner ex-
poets to reach the hanging wall
shortly. Good prospects from sur
face as far as progress has made.
Prospectors are still pouring in
from both sides and new finds are
being made every day. Prospect
ors who have passed through here
to the Mallick are returning every
day in greater or less numbers.
Mr.. Dawson while passing over the
Mckinley claim picked up one of
the finest, if not the finest specimen
yet produced in the camp. It was
q cube containing piece of gold as
large as a cantaloupe seed. Record
ing work upon the May Day and
Mascot claims is done and both
prospect very we'll indeed. Quite a
good strike was made upon the
Coed Friday mine Of Henshaw &
Hannigan on Sheep gulch, just OPP
posite the Mckinley. Quite lot
of pyrites of copper and gold is
