BALL CARTRIDGES
AMONG THE BLANKS.

Washington, Dec. 30.-As the result
of an investigation by direction of Gen.
Crozier. chief of ordnance, it has been
ascertained that among the 1,75O, OOO
blank cartridges issued last summer to
the regular and militia troops which
took part in the maneuvers at Manas-
sas, Va, and in California. two ball
cartridges were found, one at the vir-
ginia camp and the other in Cali
fornia.
The person who packed the Califor-
mia cartridge was traced by the initials
on the box and was promptly dis
charged. In the Virginia case, it was
impossible to find the offender.
To guard against the possibility OF
such occurrences in the future Gen.
Crozier has directed that each box of
blank cartridges shall be weighed be-
fore sealing. The presence of ball
cartridge can be easily detected by
this method

fire on them. In the fusilade, Mr..
Dovminy was shot in the abdomen,

day or two later
Several asssss<s were made, but on
only one, negro named John Butler,
