BALL CARTRIDGES AMONGST

Washington, Dec. 31.-As the result OF
an investigation ordered by Gen. Crozier,
chief OF ordinance. It has been found that
among the 10000 blank cartridges is-
sued last summer TO the troops taking
part I'm the manoeuvres at Manassas. Va.
and in California two ball cartridges were
found. one at the Virginia camp and the
other at California.
The person who packed the California
cartridge was traced by the initials on the
box and was discharged. In the Virginia
case II was impossible TO find the offender.
AS an additional precaution all the
blank cartridge cases at the Frankford
Arsenal have been weighed with the re-
suit that one ball cartridge was found.
The person who packed the case was dis
charged.
To guard against such occurrences in
the future Gen. Crozier has directed that
each box OF blank cartridges shall be
