COURT MARTIAL COLONEL
Commandant of Fort Wayne to Be
 Tried for Grating.

Washington, Sept 2.--Announce- ment was made in special orders of the war deparment to-day that, by direction of the president, general court martial had been appointed to meet at Fort Wayne, Mich, September 29. for the trial of such persons as may be brought before it." The fact that the personnel of the court com prises some of the officers of the high est rank in the army created consider able comment as 1t indicated that an officer or officers of high rank vas to be placed on trial.
 While the orders contained no in- timaton of the identity of the officers to be tried, it was learned that the principal one is Col. Daniel Cornman, of the Seventh infantry, commandant of Fort Wayne.
 Some time ago, a report reached the war department, that through he influence of subordinate officer at Fort Wayne, horse dealer had sup piled mounts to certain officers of the post at one dollar each. Thereafter the officers drew from the government forage for the horses, thus supporting them at the expense of the United States, although the animals did not actually become the personal property of the officers. It also was reported that usury was being practiced at Fort Wayne, among not only the off, cers, but among the enlisted men.

POND CLEARS DEAN
Engineer of Freight Whose Derailing Caused Lynch's
 Death Unblamed.
NOT IMATTEMTIvE TO DUTY
Deputy Coroner Finds That No One is Rcsponsible-Error of Judgment
 in Stacking Speed.

Completing his investigation into the facts attending the death of Jere- miah Lynch. the freight conductor on the Shore Line division of the New Haven road, who was killed at Mill ford on August 14, by the overturn- Ing of the engine of the Providence Harlem river freight he was In charge of by a derailing switch, Deputy Cor oner Pond yesterday afternoon issued his finding declaring that the evidence did not show that the death of Lynch was due to the criminal act, omission or carelessness of any one. In the course of the examination the deputy coroner found that Engineer Dean. who was running the engine of the train. was on the lookout for signals. that he saw the signals correctly and Intended and expected to stop his train before reaching the danger signal He finds that Dean erred In Judgment in the reduction of the speed of his train, in the shutting off of steam and In the application of his break. He states. however, that he cannot ind that Dean failed to recognize his duty or was inattentive 10 f.. said Dean, v reads the report, had made five trips over the line at the said point, and had had the customary seventeen days instruction It is apparent from his attention to the signals and from his efforts, though inadequate to stop the train, that he intended to stop the train before said second home signal was reached and believed that said train would be so stopped" His judgment was only at fault Is the sum of the finding.
 The report details the occurrence of the accident. stating that the engin- ger put on little air in the air brakes at a cautionary signal. got clear track signal and then the next ahead was the dead stop red This was at the derailing switch and failing to make the dead stop the engine was derailed and overturned.
 At the inquest those examined were Joseph A. Webb, New London: Danie, A, Dillon, Brdgeport; William E Goss, Mantle; James r. Shea, Provi- dence; George W. Chappell, New Ha. ven, and Morris K. Dean. Norwich Engineer Dean Is thus exonerated.
