IMPORTANT CAUSES
DELAYED FOR TRIAL
De Arnaud- AinSWorth Libel
Suit Replete With Interest.
NOT REACHED ON CALENDAR
Cases Of Lieutenants Edwards and
Dougherty Against Secretary Root
for Proper Rating on Army Lists.

Two important cases which 1t was ex-
pected would come on for hearing in the
District courts this week will probably
go over until some day next week or
later. One is the hearing on the petit
tious OF Lieuts. Frank B. Edwards and
Henry ". Dougherty OF the Artillery
Corps of ;he United States Army. who
ask that the Secretary OF War be com
PEELED to give them their proper stand
ing and rating in the army. The other is
the suit of Capt. Charles A. DeArnaud
against Brig. Gen. Frederick .. Aims
worth. chief OF the record and pension
division OF the Var Department. to re-
cover $4,000 for alleged libel.
Slanderous Comment Alleged.
The latter litigation is based on mat
ters set forth in General Ainsworth's
report to Congress, which. Captain De-
Arnaud contends, contains many SLAM
derous comments relative 20 his record
as a soldier in the civil war. Captain
DeArnaud filed his declaration last fall
II is a voluminous document, and he
says that during the war between the
States he enjoyed the confidence OF
General Grant. General Fremont and
President Lincoln. He also said he was
commissioned as a captain on the STAFF
OF General Fremont at the outbreak of
the civil war. twenty-five years after
the war Captain DeArnaud fled a claim
for pension, contending that he was
wounded in the service OF the United
States. On the report OF General Aims
worth made to the Commissioner of
Pensions in 1856 Captain DeArnaud's pc
tition for a pension was refused In his
report General Ainsworth said in 1861
DeArnaud was considered by himself and
others simply as civilian in the en-
ployment of the secret service branch
OF the Government. This case had been
set for trial yesterday before Justice
Clabaugh. but was not reached on the
calendar.
Claim Injustice Was Done.
In the cases OF Lieutenants Edwards
and Dougherty. when their petitions
were presented to Chief Justice Bling
ham. he made an order requiring the
Secretary of War TO show cause why the
petition should not be granted. The Of
hcers say they are graduates of the
west Point Military Academy and be-
cause OF their service have acquired ?
certain rating and standing in the army
Notwithstanding this. they say. officers
appointed from civil life and also from
the volunteer forces have been placed
many points above them or the army
records.

"Big Feed" took place. At the con-
clusion OF this pleasant portion Of
the evenings entertainment IA court
martial was organized and every
member present was subjected to an
investigation into misdeeds commit

resurrected az charges against them.
Judge Cheadle acted rs Officer OF the

found guilty and sentenced to some
punishment. After all OF the prl-

The Ruling Passlu,,,

A good woman was dying, a woman
who had been a true wife and a loving
mother, a woman with but one weak
ness-a love Of gossip.
Although her time on earth was
short, she was critically watching the
attending physician and the nurse as
they talked in subdued whispers of the
result which their united skill had been
powerless to avert.
In response to the summons Of the
dying woman her husband approached
her and bent low to catch the words
which he expected to be words Of love.
Again she turned her eyes, from which
the light was fast fading, upon the doc
tor and the nurse as she said family,
"Do you suppose they are engaged"
These words were her last.
