Coon HIpING PLACE.-About two
miles west of Howard's Mill on the
Mt. Sterling h Towards Mill
turnpike is an old fashioned brick
residence, which, with its deep
front veranda, and general appear
ance, always reminds one of the
"ante- bellum days" That there is
a story connected with the old
house is not generally known, but
there is one. nevertheless. As re-
lated to the reporter it runs as
follnws:-
During the Civil War the resi-
dence was occupied by an old gen.
tleman and his wife. who were
members of some of the first fam
lilies of this section of Kentucky.
These old people had a son who
was a Colonel in the Confederate
army. One day the young man
came home, accompanied by a
triend, also soldier, to pay his
parents a brief visit. Some Federals
who we're in the neighborhood
learned of their presence and sent
a detachment of men to effect their
capture. The Federals' approach
was noted from the house, however,
and the young Confederates set
about finding some means Of hiding
from them or for escape. They
went into the parlor, which contains
very high, deep windows, and
climbe up in these windows, pull
ing the curtains down so as TO COM
nletely conceal their bodies. The
Yankees searched the house iroE
bottom to top, coming into the
parlor several times, but were un-
successful in their search, once or
twice passing so close to the hidden
Confederates that they could have
touched them. 1t is said that the
Colonel, in relating it after he and
his friend had rejoinsd their COM
mand, said he never before nor
since wanted to sneeze so badly as
when those Yankees were in such
close proximity.
The reporter has seen both these
windows, and they have ample
room to admit a large man each,
and after pulling down the curtains
it would be impossible to see any
one who might be hidden there.

BRINGING THE DEAD HoNE.
RemHius of the Maine victims to
Come the Texas.

ARA rgemeuts have been perfected by
the Navy Department for bringing home
the remains of the lG6 sailors of the Maine
now Inferred in Colon cemetery, near Ha-
vana. with view to their reinterment In
Arlington cemetery with full military hon
ors. Instructions will be sent To the com
mandant Of the Havana naval station to
eXhume the bodies and seal them in zinc
cOtfins for transportation to the United
States on a vessel of the United States
navy. The battle ship Texas, which is
practically a sister ship of the Inflated
Maine. Will probably be assigned To this sa n
duty. Capt. SIgsbee, who commanded the
Maine at the time of her destruction is
now in command of the Texas but he will
be detached from that duty in d few week.
IN order to comply with orders assigning
hlm to the charge of the naval bureau OF
Intelligence. His successor in command OF
the Texas has not yet been announced.
In order To comply with quarantine reeu-
IatonS the transfer OF the heroic dead
will have to be made between December
and February. The Navy Department has
had this step under considerat tion for some
time and is acting under authority of an
act of Congress approved in March lSIN

these remains. Outside of purely scuti-
mental reasons, ii has been found aGyisa-
bic to bring the bodies home in order to
avoid the possibility Of litigat don involving
the title to the plot OF ground in the Gene
terry where these men are buried.
1t has been found, among other things.
tnat another grave already occupied the
center of the plot of ground and thai a
clear title could not therefore be secured.
as the consent Of the owner of the other
grave could not be obtained. Under the .ay
unless the ground was purchased within
five years the cemetery authorities had the
right to remove the bodies, and while there
was no fear of this while the United States
remained in control Of Cuba, the tenure
was regarded insecure. The only obiec-
ton to Gisinterment was the fear that in
some instances identification of the 1856 cof-
fins would be incomplete. but this is
thought to he offset by the advantage Of
collecting all the graves at Arlington and
permanently improving their appearance
perhaps by national monument

BInckhnrm's Defeat.
CONSUL MACRUM MUST REMAIN.
Looking After the interest of the
British at Pretoria.

L. S. Consul MaCrum. at Pretoria, recent
ly asked the State Department for leave
of absence with permission 10 take ad
vantage Of it at Cnce. He pleads domestic
reasons for Immediately leaving his post,
and offers to place in the consulate as the
representative Of the United States Vice
Consul AttIebury, who is now on the
ground The department. however. refused
to accede 20 the request, and Mr.. Macrum
viii stay where ne is unless ne sees tit to
quit his post without permission.
1t is learned that so far Mr.. Macrum has
not been prohibited by the Boer government
from caring for the welfare Of the British
subjects now in the Transva4l and the
Free State, or at least he has NOT Yet so
notified the State Department. There has
been some friction encountered in the eff
fort Of the British government to secure
permission for the consul to dishurse fumes
for the benefit Of the British soldiers held
as prisoners Of war in Pretoria. President
Kruger takes the ground that those prison.
ers are entirely in the hands Of the gen
erals In the field, VINO alone have the right
u make arrangements for their care and
disposition. Therefore he holds. the con-
aui has 10 right TO act In their iuteres,
officially. However, it does not appear that
the latter Will not be permitted to act un-
officially so long as the principle is saved
"a laid down by President Kruger.

MAY RESULT IN HANGING
Rioting and Mutiny on the Tartan Being
Investigated.
Grave State of Affairs Disclosed to the
Secretary OF War-Further
Inquiry.

Startling developments in the case of the
transport Tartar and probably with refer
ence to the transport Newport are expect
ed.
The expectation is that a court-martial
will be soon ordered to try number of
persons on capital charges in connection
with the Tartar affair.
The charges of rOting and scandalous
conduct on board this transport, which
brought the Kansas troops from Manila,
were investigated and the report Of the in
vestigation submitted TO the Secretary Of
War, who Immediately ordered another in
vestigation, and refused to make public the
report or to disclose any of the facts
ascertained by the investigation.
The reason for the secrecy was found in
the fact that the case, upon the report,
assumed a gravity which promises to make
it the most sensational thing that has hap
pened in connection with the war The
report made upon the more thorough IN
quiry will probably be followed by court
martial and trial for mutiny involving sev-
eraI persons. some in the regular army. it
is said. as well as among those who had
been discharged from the service before
leaving Manila.
1t is said that the charges will involve
capital crimes. and that convictions might
result in executions under military law. and
for mutiny on shipboard.
1t is said that an equally SERIOUS situa-
ton exists with respect to conduct on
board the transport Newport.
