IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

At a recent concourse of old Washington
fellows, not a man among them under three
score years of age and all willing to admit
it, episodes and adventures during the civil
war were talked over. There was none of
the company but had seen service either
on one side or the other. and, of'course. the
recitals of incidents in their respective ca
reers could not lack attractveness. At
last an ex-naval officer got an opportunity
to tell story which, like all the other
yarns of the evening. had the merit of en-

Exploring Halls Deserted.

OF course, we went into an exploring ex-
petition to its interior. 1t was absolute
wreck. There was not a whole pane of
glass in any one of its many windows, the
ratings around the great veranda that was
about it were broken. many planks in the
floors were torn up and the bannisters on
a stairway leading to the top, garnet
of the once beautiful habitation, were like
the veranda rails without any top, and the
whole place appeared as if it had under
gone a bombardment 1t WAS enough to
draw tears from d stone to notice the raw
ages it had met with. Afterward we
started a walk through broad avenues,
now tangles of weeds and other growth,
and about sunset started to return to the
ship.

A Sea Island Visit.

But that is not exactly what I was going
to tell YOU he continued. 1T is only pre-
liminary to the story of little event in
which l think l can plume myself as being
the principal actor. One pleasant after
noon toward the last of the month the
commanding officer of the ship proposed
visit to one of the deserted sea island plan
tations and invited the surgeon and myself
to accompany him. This, we were very
glad to do. 1t would give US an opportunity
to stretch our legs. possibly to shoot some
game, maybe in the shape of a little pig or
a kid. or something. Again it had a spirit
of adventure about it that was particularly
aceptable

He rested his defense on the claim that
the court overruled him after an argu-
ment The defense introduced no evil
dense at all.
The case was called at o'clock this
morning c. w. Stanton of Appleton APP
peared for the prosecution. Mr.. Mum
waived a jury and the prosecution put in
it's evidence. The article complained of
was submitted,y and Senator Young then
went the stand. He testified that the
article damaged his reputation, by accus-
ing him Of being q party to a corrupt bar
gain, which was to put him in office for
the purpose Of multiplying and setting aside
the laws of the state. This, he declared
injured him in the eyes Of his fellow men.
Mr.. Mum then moved that the case be
dismissed, as no libel had been proved.
He urged this in a lengthy argument,
quoting decisions, and setting forth that
the statements in the article did not dam
age the reputation of Mr.. Young. After a
reply by Mr.. Stanton, the court Overruled
the motion to dismiss, and as the defense
put in no evidence, he adjudged Mr..
Thompson guilty and imposed sentence.
Messrs. Thompson and Mum left on the
afternoon train. They have ten days in
which to appeal, and Mr.. Mum declared
that they would do so, as he was con-
f1dent the district court would rule with
him.
The trial was witnessed by a large
crowd, as many as could get into the office
munity the sympathy of the audience was
evidently with him. The maximum pen
atty for the offense Is 500 or ninety days.
