Indians when they had started on the
warpath and were able to cope with them
as it was an impossibility before the hello

lished.
After the final capture Of Geronimo he
was imprisoned at ST. Augustine, Fla,

Or. CARPENTER QUESTIONED
ONLY WITNESS HEARD IN THE
NASH CoURT-MARTIAL.
Examined Regarding Treatment Of
Midshipman Stephepson's Eyes at
Naval Academy in December.

Many technicalities regarding the treat
ment of conjunctivitis and allied eye af-
fections took up large part OF the time
of the cour-martial which met this morn
ing at the navy yard to try Surgeon
Francis s. Nash on charges preferred by
Midshipman Fl. w. Stephenson of the
first class of the Naval Academy
The midshipman reported at sick call
December % and was treated that day
and the following day by Surgeon Car
penter with a comparatively mild treat
ment. Surgeon Carpenter went on leave
December -. and Surgeon Nash took up
the case. 1t is charged that he used too
strong a solution of nitrate Of silver and
jeopardized the Jyoung mans sight
Surgeon Carpenter was the only wit
ness this morning. He said he had no
recollection of Midshipman Stephenson's
case beyond the record that showed the
diagnosis to be cOnjunctivitis coming
from eye strain and that the treatment
was a boraX solution.
DR.. Carpenter Examined.
Surgeon Carpenter was asked to out
line what treatment he administered to
conjunctivitis patients. He said 1 per
cent solution of silver nitrate was the
strongest he had used in recent cases:
although in bad case he had used
40 per cent solution.
According to the records. Midshipman
Stephenson was improving after two days
under Surgeon Carpenter
There was one solid hour Of testimony
on technical points. dealing with strength
of caustics and medicines for the eye.
The Case for DR.. Nash.
Council for Surgeon Nash stated that
they intended to prove that there is great
difficulty in telling the difference between
conjunctivitis and trachomai a much
more dangerous and infectious trouble
to be followed up by proof that Surgeon
Nash used a perfectly we'll authorized
treatment for the eyes of the midshipmen
in question.
Surgeon Carpenter testified that he had
no way of telling whether or not the cases
of cOnjunctivitis under his observation at
Annapolis were better or worse December
"a. as he left that morning and he did not
know whether Midshipman Stephenson
was showing good progress or dangerous
symptoms.
The trial will be continued this after
noon and tomorrow

Clear Skies Today.
BUILDING FALLS AT FREMONT

CLEVELAND, Ohio, February 1.-THE
storm of sleet, snow and wind that set
in early last Sunday and which caused
such widespread destruction to telegraph
telephone, trolley and electric light wires
throughout this section of the country,
finally subsided today. The storm passed
to the eastward, and was followed by
clear skies and a slightly warmer temper
ature.
There was little or no improvement in
the wire situation today west of Cleve-
land. One wire. however, was put in
working order east between this city and
Buffalo, and it was utilized by the Lake
Shore road to dispatch trains.
Many hundreds of men are at work be-
tween this city and Toledo repairing the
damage to telegraph and long-distance
telephone lines; but it is not expected
that communication will be re-established
before tomorrow, if. indeed, then
Advices are coming in by mail from nu-
merous points i'm northwestern Ohio indi-
eating that the damage wrought by the
storm has been general and that pecu-
mary losses have been very large.
Heavy Damage at Fremont.
At Fremont the loss is estimated at
$4,000 One big building collapsed under
the weight of ice. causing loss OF 300
600 The largest loser by the storm is
the Fremont Home Telephone Company.
Its plant is all but totally wrecked, and
1000 phones are out of commission
The situation has become so bad at
Sandusky that a special meeting or rep
resentativeS of street car. electric nght
telegraph and telephone companies was
held in the mayors Office yesterday TO
plan in concert for the betterment OF
conditions.
Wires have been going down faster
than they can be repaired.
Sandusky Cut Off.
sANDUsKY. Ohio, February l7.-This
city has been beyond the reach of the
Sunday night, when the last telegraph
line between here and Cleveland went
down as a result of the heavy sleet storm.
The systems of both telephone compa-
nies, local and long distance are out Of
commission. There is no light at night
except from lamps, candles or gas jets.
The gas supply is low Miles of wire are
lying in the streets and alleys through
out the city and hundreds of poles are
lying on the ground. If communication
is re-established within a week those
who have full knowledge of the situa-
tion say they will be satisfied. Business
is at a standstili.
The storm is the worst in the history
of the city. No estimate of the damage
done can be made. Thousands of fruit
trees have been ruined and the effects
OF the devastation will be apparent in
the coming seasons crops. There is said
to be absolutely no hope for peaches
throughout the entire famous Lake Erie
