FIVE OTHERS IMPRISONED
ARE SENT To ST. FRANCIS nan
RACKS FOR TERMS OF ONE

INFORMATION IS NOT OFFICIAL

Gen. Young, the Reviewing Officer
in the Case, Has Not Yet Pub-
1ished His Orders or the Ei,a,n
OF the Court-The Men Tried by
Military Court for Breach of Dis
cipIine.
AUGUSTA, Ga, March 19-Six men of
the Fifteenth Minnesota have gone from
here to st. Francis barracks. 1t is IN
derstood their sentences were for one
year, except in the case of Williams the
ringleader, who got six years
This is not official, however, as Gen.
Young, the reviewing authority, has pub
lished no orders
The men mentioned in the above Au-
gusta dispatch are among those of the
Fifteenth Minnesota regiment who, after
comrade had been killed in a saloon in
Augusta, started out to avenge his death.
The men armed themselves with rifles
and plundered the commissary stores for
ammunition. Before they reached Au-
gusta they were overtaken by a battal-
ion of cavalry sent out to arrest them,
and under the influence of an officer sur
rendered without resistance, though a
clash was narrowly averted The men
were taken back to camp, the leaders In
irons, and have been prisoners ever since.
The offenders were tried by court-mar-
tial, and, 1T seems, have been sentenced
and sent to st. Francis barracks, though
the orders have not yet been published.
Efforts have been made at Washington
to secure pardons for the prisoners, and
1t is not regarded as likely there that
the men will be compelled to serve long
terms in military prison.

Where the Crabs Come In.

When school of menhaden make
their way into a bay, they may stay
for days swimming around in one re-
gion. Larger fishes, including perhaps
some sharks, feed upon them there.
From such feeding there are more or
less fragments that sink down through
the water, and the various crabs and
other crustaceans come scuttling from
all parts of the bay to get them. 1t
may be that the tide carries some Of
the litter about, or perhaps the crabs
and other creatures smell it, as blueish
scent the bait that is used in chum-
ming, but when school of menhaden
are preyed upon at the surface all the
crabs in the bay congregate on the mud
below to catch the crumbs that fall. =

ly, and in st. Augustine saw snob
dog-an out and out snob. His name is
Towser. and he is just common yell
low dog, lives in the street and belongs
to no one.
''In the summer, when no wealthy
northern people are in the town, he
plays with all the middle class children
and dogs and will greet patronizingly
the middle class men and women who
know him. But in the winter, as soon
as the season begins, he attaches him
self to some rich New York family,
loafs in their yard, tags their footsteps
or carriages all about the city, attends
them to church and home again and
so far as he is able makes himself one
of them. For his meals he has been
forced to resort to the back yards of a
plain, good woman, who pities him and
feeds him regularly He is friendly
with her at his eating hours, but never
SO far forgets himself as to wag his tail
at her on the street or when he is with
more pretentious people.
"When society functions take place in
ST. Augustine, there is Towser. Golf
matches, afternoon teas picnics or boat

with most conventional regularity. He
never greets any ordinary acquaintance
when thus socially engaged and has
even been known not to eat for several
days when fashionable wedding was

MONSTER BEAR ON A RAMPAGE
PLAYED HAVOC IN AN OMAHA

Tore Of the Managers Clothes As
Be Was Climbing Into the Flies
Had a Sore Tooth.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 29.-An enormous
silver-tip bear. frenzied with an liberated
tooth which its master was trying 10 ex-
tract, escaped from its cage in the
Creighton theatre today and created a
panic before being captured. In addi-
tion to frightening a number of persons
The bear seriously hurt its master, Paul
Batty; badly lacerated Stage-hand Nc
Donald, ana tore the clothes of Jake
Rosenthal, manager of the theatre.
Mcdonald was assisting Batty to eX-
tract the tooth and a crowd OF men and
boys surrounded the cage of the enraged
animal, witnessing the operation. The
leather bands, but when the trainer
touched the liberated tooth the bear gave
a roar and burst his bonds like paper.
Nath sweep Of his mighty paw, he
threw Batty and Mcdonald TO the floor
ana turned upon the crowd around the
iron cage. They ned in every direction,
but the cage was demolished in a mo-
ment. Manager RosenthaI was climbing
into the flies, and as the enraged bear
at the manager and, catching his frock
coat, carried it completely away with
him. He also tore the shoe from one of
RoSenthals feet and then passed on in
pursuit of the crowd.
IN the maze Of scenery back of the
stage the bear vented his fury by demol-
lSEing property right and left. BY this
time the trainer had recovered sufficiently
TO direct the heating of irons to subdue
several blocks. He was finally driven
INTO the cellar of the theatre where, sur
rounded by a row of red-hot irons, he
submitted to being bound.

International Gathering.

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 29.-The local COM
mittee having in charge the arrange
ments for the ninth triennial interna-
tional Sunday school convention, which
is to be held here in April next in the
Y. Nj. c. A parlors, met today and took
up the work of caring for the big
gathering and looking into other de-
tails. The convention Will meet April
p, 2S and %. and about 1000 delegates
from all parts of the United States,
several South American countries,

fore the convention, the International
Lesson committee. of which Rev. John
Potts, DID, of Toronto. Ont, is chair
man, will meet in Atlanta to map out
the Sunday school lessons for the next
six years.
Possibly the most important work to
come before the convention will be the
study Of what Sunday school work can
and should be done in the newly ac-
quired territory of the United States
and in Cuba. The Baptist, Methodist
and other denomi national Sunday
school boards have already begun the
establishment of Sunday schools in
Puerto Rico. Cuba and even Hawaii.
The International organization Will
take uD this matter and these new
doubtedly be taken in E4e international
field. If the Philippines are permanent
iy acquired the work will be on over
there.
A number of changes in the Sunday
school work Will be discussed and some
important changes inaugurated. The
work among the colored people of the
south Will be given special attention
Mexico has only recently been taken
into the field and the work there must
also be considered. The convention
does not draw the line at color or race.
There will be a number of negro dele
safes and in view of this fact two or
three of Atlanta's leading colOred citi-
Zens have been placed on the local ar
rangementS committee.
At today's meeting it was decided to
open the convention with a monster
meeting and chorus of 10000 voices at
the Auditorium in Exposition park.
The entertainment committee, headed
by II. II. Cabaniss. includes among its
members Hon. Hoke Smith and ex-
Governor Norton. 1t has sub-commit-
tees in each of the 10 churches of
Atlanta. Rev. F. r. Carter. pastor of
a colored church with 5000 members,
is leading the colored people in the
matter
The convention will represent 30,000,
Geo Sunday school scholars and about
zoe. 600 schools. The largest gathering
in the history of the international as
sociatiOn is expected.
