VETERAN DROPS DEAD.
SmviUed Forty Years Wounds Sach
as Killed TITO Presidents.
from Tho Tribune Bureau


Washington. Jan. 5.-Charles II. Smith, g
clerk in the stationery and printing division OF
the Treasury Department, dropped dead at ms
desk at $50 this afternoon.
Mr. Smith was appointed from Otsego N "
and had been employed at the Treasury since
1871. In all the surgical annals OF the ClVh
War few cases were considered more remarka-
Bile than that of Mr.. Smith. who received -FOUR
wounds at Gettysburg, any one of which woulo
ordinarily cause death. In spite Of these ter
rible hurts Mr. Smith lived for more than forty
years after their infection to become source
of wonder to the surgical world and by his
steady application to duty to make Of himself
an example of what e. brave man can accom-
pIish In the face of suffering and almost tncred-
ible physical obstacles.
Mr.. Smith was lad of sixteen when he lert
his home at Decatur. N. Y, to enlist at Cherry
Valley. He was mustered into serviceOctober a.
1851. and Joined Company K, 10th New YORK
Volunteers. After being in engagements at Rap
pahannock Station. White Sulphur Springs,
Gainesville. Bull Run, South Mountain, Antie-
tam. Union, Fredericksburg. charlottesville
and Kelleysford, his regiment, on July l, 1868.
went into battle at Gettysburg.
There the eighteen-year-old farmer lad was
wounded as few men have ever been wounded
who lived to tell the story. The first bullet passed
through his left thigh, the second entered his
left groin, passed through the body and came
out Of the right nip; the third bullet entered
above the left hip passed through the BODY ana
fractured the spinal column, and while the poor
fellow lying prone on his face a shell burst
above him and fragment tore off a large por-
ton of his right hip.
He lay on the battlefield in this terrible condi-
ton for four days without receiving any assist
ance nOurlshment whatever before he was
rescued and carried to the Mcpherson barn. Al
though the army surgeons who examined him
said that 1t was impossible for him to live. he
taken a stretcher to Gettysburg by the
agents OF the Christian Commission Later he
was removed to the Citizens Hospital, Philadel-
phia, and then to the Cupler Hospital, German
town. where he remained until his term Of en-
listment expired in 1864. When discharged he
able to move painfully about with the aid of
two canes, and from that day until this, when
death ended his sufferings he was obliged to
dress his wounds two, three four times a day.
The eminent surgeons who strove TO save Gar
field after he shot made special examina-
ton of Mr. Smith, because the third bullet which
struck him at Gettysburg inflicted wound al
most precisely similar to that OF the Presidents
General Garfield had not the hardy constitution
OF Mr. Smith, however, and the examination
though full of interest from surgical point of
view did not save the patient The wound
which caused the death of President Mckinley
at Buffalo similar to, though not SO severe
as the second one suffered by Mr. Smith.

CONFERENCE ON RATES.
Senator DoEiUer Working Hard IN
Support of His Bill.

washington. Jan 6-Without taking up any
specific bill the Senate Committee Interstate
Commerce devoted two hours to-day to discussion
Of railroad rate legislation. 1t was determined
practically that the various pending bills will be
taken up in turn. Senator Newlands's bill will be
considered at the next meeting. January Il
In the various bills before the committee. it is
said there are a number of provisions on which
the members of the committee can agree and there
developed to-day sentiment in favor of taking up
these and dsposing of them far as possible.
Such a variety of views before the committee
in different bills that II appears that such
foundation that suggested is needed on which to
build a bill. It is not denied by members of the
committee that they are as far from reporting a
bill they before the hearings in the sum-
mer, and that the many measures proposed render
it extremely difficult TO have harmonious discus
sion of any measure The frequent meetings have
been abandoned, and the committee is holding ses-
sions only its regular days
At to-day's session Senator DolIver moved to take
up his bill and consider it section by section. He
argued that if the bill could be taken up and all
portions which the committee could not agree
be voted out, it would furnish basis for early
report the Senate. He failed to obtain the adop
ton OF his motion. any decision in regard TO it,
The indications are that the House will pass a
bill and that the measure will come to the Senate

bring before the Senate a measure almost identical
with the Dolver bill. Senator Deliver said to-day
that II his Dill Is reJected Dy Senate

That section of the bill which provides that
consuls may, from time to time. be ordered
home and assigned to duty in the State Depart

clerks from the department. was stricken out
entirely without serious objection from Senator
Lodge Other provisions concerning the trans

matte and consular service without the advice
and consent of the Senate We're materially
modified.
The general purposes OF the measure were
not however interfered with and the heartiness
with which most members of the committee in
dorsed the principles involved argues well for
its success when it comes up for consideration
on the floor of the Senate.
In pressing the consideration of this measure

MORE ANNAPOLIS TRIALS.
Marsom Says Under Classnran W'iU-
ingIy Brought Him Food.

AnnanolIs Md Jan 5-The trial OF Midship-
man Petersen B. Marzoni, Of Pensacola, mem
her of the first class, on the charge of hazing
Midshipman Chester s. Roberts, of Joliet, Ill, a
member of the fourth class. began this morning
after the record OF yesterdays proceedings had
been adopted The charge is supported by six
specifications, each alleging separate incident
of hazing OF which Roberts was the alleged VIC
tim
The first specification alleges that Roberts
was compelled to perform mo 49, The second
and third specifications allege that Marzoni
hazed fourth classman Benjamin w. Tye, of
Atlanta Ga by compelling him to bring him
his breakfast different occasions, The last
three charges are concerned with the alleged
hazng of Midshipman Albert c. Bryant, of can
ton Bend, Ala, fourth classman. They are
that Marzoni compelled him to bring him his
breakfast to stand his head about twenty
times and perform mo 10" about fifty times.
Marzoni's counsel asked that the trial be de-
layed until the opening OF the court tomorrow
and the request was granted. Marzoni's coun-
sci is George II. Mann, former member of the
class of 1895 at the Naval Academy.
Mr.. Mann said that while Marzoni will plead
not guilty the charge and all the specfca-
tons. inasmuch as he denies any crimnality in
any OF his actions. he Will admit certain facts
alleged in some of the specifications. He will
not deny the second, third and fourth specifca-
lions far as they charge that some articles
were brought to him from the breakfast table by
Tye and Bryant but he will contend most Wig
orously that this done willingly by the
under classmen.
Another midshipman involved in the hazng is
Midshlpman Lewis Dean Causey. Of the first
class. The charge of haZing fourth cassman
Bennett with the various specifications. was
served on Causey this morning and his case
probably Will be taken up at the conclusion Of
the MarZoni case.
Causey rowed in the senior eight of the acad-
envy for four years and made the football team
this season. He played centre in the recent
Army-Navy struggle at Princeton, and
OF the stronghoids of the Blue and Gold line. He
holds the rating OF first petty officer.
