DEAD
TO Be LOCATED

Washington, Jan. 12-The Sem
ate has passed the bill which Senator
Foraker has advocated for many
years providing for the marking Of
the graves of Confederate sailors and
soldiers who died in northern pris-
ons and were buried near the prisons
when they died. The bill was
amended so that the commissioner
appointed to superintend the work
shall be paid 81, 900 year. and shall
complete his work within two years.
The sum of $500, 900 is appropriated
in the bill to provide for the mark
ing of these graves, which number
about 10000. The graves are in
many cases in a state of utter neg
lect, the Enclosures being in a dilapi-
dated condition, while the wooden
headboards which were placed at
some of the graves have long since
rotted away.
There were during the war sew
eral prisons in Maryland whore
Confederate prisoners died. At
Annapolis five died of whom three
are known and two unknown. At
Baltimore 119 died, Of whom n are
known and 42 unknown. At Cum
berland five died of whom one was
known and four unknown. At Fort
McHenry SO died of whom 81 wore
unknown. AT Pt. Lookout the NOR
tality was greater. No less than
3,446 died. all except $50 being
known.
A few years ago congress .appro-
-priated the lnonev necessary TO re-
move and renter in Arlington ceme-
terry all the Confederate dead until
then buried in various national
cemeteries around Washington. The
action taken by the Senate yester-
day will probably be promptly rati-
fed by the House, and within two
years it may be assumed that mod
est marble headstonc will mark the
last resting place Of every Gonfeder-
ate who died in prison.

SPLIT IN CHURCH
At HUNTINGTON

Huntington, W. Va, Jan. ia
mild sensation has been caused by
the troubles which have existed be-
tween factions of the First Christian
church of this city for a number of
months, which have just terminated
in a division of the congregation and
the organization of new church,
distinct from and Independent Of the
old, organized by a number of the
members formerly affiliated with the
membership of the mother church.
For number of months prior to
the termination of the pastorate Of
Rev.. W. P. Dorsey, who for two
years was the minister in charge Of
the congregation known as the First
Christian church, a difference of
opinion existed between Mr.. Dorsey
and a number of the members of the
official board of the church. This
matter grew more and more aggra-
vated, and finally reached the pro-
portions of open hostility, and those
antagonistic to the minister went so
far as to frame a memorial to the
State Ministerial Association of the
Christian Church, in which were pre-
ferred various charges. all being sug-
gestiye of unministerial conduct.
Matters went on until Mr.. Dor
sey, after consulting with a number
of his friends in the ministry, decid-
ed that the better thing both for
himself and the church. would be to
tender his resignation, which he ac-
cordingly did.
1t appears that quite a number Of
the members Of the congregation
were not satisfied with the course
taken, and many felt an oyerwhelm-
ing desire to institute public yindi-
cation of Mr.. Dorsey. To this end
service was announced on last Sun
day for Eagle Hall at Twentieth
street, and those who adhered to Mr..
Dorsey during the period Of strife in
the old organization, assembled
there. Mr.. Dorsey preached a SER
man Of unusual eloquence and at
the conclusion of the service a new
church was formally organized.
Elders and official board deacons,
and all the officers of Christian
church were duly elected. More
than one hundred and fifty mem
bers signed the church roll, and Mr..
Dorsey was engaged as minister for
the ensuing year. 1t has been ar
ranged 10 hold services regularly at
Eagle hall, Twentieth street, until
other arrangements can be made for
a place Of worship.

YOUNG CORBETT
KNOCKED OUT

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 13-
Aurellia Herrera. of California,
last night knocked out Young Cor
bett in the fifth round.
The fight was fast and furious
from start to finish, and in the first
and second rounds Young Corbett
showed some Of the old-time speed
and brilliance that once gave him the
championship of the world over Ter
~ McGovern. But as the battle
progressed, Corbett's steam played
out, and the Mexican sent in smash
after smash, and in the fifth landed
a blow that sent the Denverite down
and out.
There was much betting on the
outcome with odds on Corbett at 10
to 9. Particular interest was at
tached to the fight because Of the ek-
pectdtion that the winner will later
meet either Britt or Nelson.

TREASURER BOGlE SHORT IN ACCOUNTS AT TIN PLATE MILLS

Paul d. Boyle, late treasurer Of
the Phillips Sheet & Tin Plate mills,
is an embezzler, according to de-
yelopments that have just been made
pubic. \ heavy shortage has been
detected in his accounts as treasurer.
Mr.. Bogle acted as treasurer of
the company from July to the latter
part of December, in what was be-
lieyed to be very efficient manner,
but at the end of that month an in
spection was made of his books and
it was discovered he had gotten far
behind in posting them. He was
asked to post them at once, but fail
ed to do so.
Then the company had the books
posted, resulting from which came
the stirling revelation that he was
fully $2,50O short with the COM
pany's funds. He acknowledged
the shortage and David NJ. Weir was
appointed to succeed him as treas
urer.
Friends of Mr.. Boyle here, in
Wheeling and other places made an
effort to raise the amount of the
defalcation and did refund 81 600
to the company, according to the
best information available at this
time, but it was then learned that
the shortage amounted to about
$4,000 more, and though an effort
was made 10 get this too, it was un-
successful.
Mr.. Boyle is reported as having
left the city, but it is more than
likely that an effort will be made to
apprehend and prosecute him, un-
less the matter is speedily adjusted.
The tin plate company will lose
nothing as Mr.. Boyle was under
bond, his bondsmen being the Citi-
zens' Trust & Guaranty Company. of
Parkersburg, upon whom the loss
falls.
There are many here who regret
exceedingly this incident, as Mr..
Boyle made many friends here by his
courteous manners and pleasant
business relations with the public.
il is not Believed that the defalca-
ton was Intentional on his part, but
chat he was led into it by high liv-
ing II Is hoped the matter may
vet be Satisfactorily adjusted and
chat Mr. Boyle will be restored to
the confidence of not only his for

A STATESMAN
IN THE TOLLS

Parkersburg, W. Va, Jan. 13-
French Hays, Democratic member
Of the House of Delegates from Gil
mer county, has been indicted by the
federal grand jury for interfering
with a government officer, in the dis
charge of his duty. He has been
here for the last few days to answer
to the Indictment.
The indictment grows out of a
rather peculiar series of circumstan-
ces of which the descriptions given
by Mr.. Hays himself, and the rev.
enue officer, whom he is alleged to
have obstructed, are at variance.
1t was alleged that last autumn,
during the meteing of the Arnolds-
burg fair, it was discovered that
whiskey was being sold on ths
grounds. Deputy Revenue Collec-
tor G. A. Musgrave was sent out
from the local office to investigate.
He discovered that thre barrels Of
packed half pints, had been shipped
to Arnoldsburg and that they were
stored there. Musgrave took charge
Of them. He discovered that a man
named Jacob Albert was the dis
penser.
Albert was not found at the time.
The revenue officer took charge Of
the liquor, and had it placed in a
building of which the marshal of the
fair had the key. Before he sue
aeeded in getting the whiskey in the
building, however, he had 4 strug-
yle with HAYS. who claimed that one
barrel of it belonged to him. He
said it had been sen to him by SEN
ator Jake Snyder, Of Wheeling, as a
personal gift the revenue officer al
leges.
The revenue officer was temporar-
ily bested in the physical combat,
but says that he induced Hays to
leave the whiskey untouched. He
said that when he returned part Of
it was gone.
Subsequently Albert was arrested
md when brought up pleaded guilty.
Asked what interest HAYS had in the
liquor he said that he had none
whatever, but that Hays had pronl-
ised to protect him in dispensing il
at the fair. Deputy Collector Mus
grave has for exhibits in the case the
heads of three barrels. all of which
were directed to Albert.
