the corpses all exposed again to the

Most of the buildings Of this region,
the farm houses as we'll as the churches

purposes of war, as the headquarters of
officers, or as kitchens or hospitals.

wounded thither and laid them in their

of the Sudley meeting house, is still
preserved by one of the congregation.
Bethel church, which was used as the
headquarters of Fitz-John Porter, has
been moved four miles from it's old
site, but the foundation stones may
be seen by those who will enter the
thicket of underground and tangle of
vines that hide them.
The moving habit which sets the
city man adrift every May, and, per-
chance, a half dozen more times

of the valley of Bull Run. Almost
every survivor of war times dwells in
the same house and sleeps in the same

NOT At ALL WORRIED
MRS. CHADWICK IN CHEERFUL
SPIRITS DESPITE RETURN
OF INDICTMENTS.
10 FURTHER EFFORTS FOR RELEASE
ANNOUNCES HER DETERMINE
TON TO RETURN TO cLEvE-
LAND At ONCE.

New York, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Chadwick
in cheerful spirits during the
morning and talked somewhat freely
in the Tombs. She said that it is her
positive determination to go back to
Cleveland at once, but before she made
the formal announcement she would
confer with her lawyer, Philip Car
penter.
Mrs. Chadwick did not appear in the
least disturbed at the outcome of the
investigation in Ohio and the handing
down of two indictments by the grand
jury of Cuyahoga county. Lawyer
Powers announced later, however,
that all intention of securing bail for
Mrs. Chadwick had been abandoned in
view of the indictment in Ohio.
At the present time the attention OF
those most interested in the case is
directed toward Pittsburg, where some
interesting developments are antici-
pated. 1t is more than limited that if
the full facts are ever known it will
be found that some of the papers ne
gotiated by Mrs. Chadwick are lying
in the strong boxes of Pittsburg finan-
cial men. 1t is possible that the miss
ing 100000 note, which President
Reckwith said is signed with the name
of Andrew Carnegie, may be brought
to light in the Pennsylvania city.

Washington, Dec. 14.-ln the house
Mr.. Palmer lPa.), from the judiciary
committee, called up the resolution i'm
peaching Judge Swayne OF Florida.
Speaker Cannon compelled silence
while it was read, remarking that
every member should hear it. Mr..
Palmer then read the specifications
against the judge upon which the com.
mittee had based its action.
In support of the charge of misbe.
havior MI. Palmer said the evidence
showed that out of each year Judge
Swayne spent on an average OF ~
days somewhere else, neither in his
district holding court nor outside of
his district holding court. Judge
Swayne, he said, never voted in Flor
ida. never registered there and never
lived there In any proper sense OF the
term.
Mr.. Palmer then turned his atten-
ton to a review Of the evidence taken
before the committee, the main fea.
lures of which already have been pub
lished.

amounts paid to Judge Swayne as
necessary expenses he was subjected
