Augusta, Ga., May 11. The Third
Nebraska regiment id now a thing of
the past. This morning at 10:30 sharp
three paymasters commenced hand
ing the men their money and the cap
tains of each company handed over
the discharges to each man in turn.
1'hey were mustered out according
to their rank in their battalions.
Each private received about $160.
This included their travel pavv The
work was completed in about two
hours and there was not a eingle un
pleasant feature during the entire
time.
Tne feeling that existed between
the oHicers and men was exceptionally
fine. They all seemed to be on the
beat of terms. Colonel Vifquain goes
out of the service very highly thought
of a a colonel or volunteers. His
men all love him. Colonel Vifquain
has at all times been very strict, but
the men and officers were repaid for
this, a9 when the time for muster out
came, their books, record., etc., were
in the best shape. The regiment was
very highly complimented on this
feature by the mustering out officer.
The first section left Augusta at
3:30 and the other two followed
shortly afterward.
Two Sets of Marriage Laws.
HAVANA, May 11. The civil mar
riage decree recently issued in the
province of Santiago differs from the
decree on the same subject in course
of preparation at headquarters here.
The military governor of Santiago
province, General Leonard Wood, acted
without consultation with the gover
nor general, and his decree was first
heard of here through tho local news
papers. Probably it will not be an
nulled specifically, but it will be ren
dered nugatory by a general para
graph in General Iirooke's decree
covering the entire island.
A letter has been addressed to Gen
eral Wood, pointing out to him tho
undesirability of an attempt to handle
the affairs of one province without re
gard to similar conditions in other
provinces, and alleging the necessity
of a uniform system in order to make
the people homogeneous.
The decision of General Gomez to
abandon Quinta de Molines, the old
summer residence of the captains gen
eral, where he has been living, and to
take a house in the city or to live with
friends here, was announced to the
members of his 3taff today, who were
simultaneously instructed to repair to
their homes. The order aroused con
siderable resentment among them, all
accusing Gomez of deserting them and
declaring that they have neither
homes, work nor money. The dis
agreement is serious, and the news
papers continue to attack the settle'
ment of the amount the soldieis are to
receive.
La Discussion and El Reconcentrado
seem determined to cause trouble. The
former, in a bitter editorial today, de
clares that the payment of 75 for an
exchange of arms is merely an attempt
to place the Cubans in the power of
the Americans. The article, which is
believed to be inspired by Manuel
- Sanguilly, says:
"These traitors have caused all the
complications which have placed our
country in the existing conditions,
conditions that, if continued longer,
will cause ferocious and bloody strife
between the Cuban and Americans."
The inspection by the board an
pointed to investigate the minimum of
clothing that will answer for troops in
this provinco took place today, the
first endeavor being to ascertain the
amount of suitable apparel now on
hand, particularly of underclothing
and abdominal belts. It is not be
lieved that for the present it 11 prac
ticable to alter the existing khaki uni
form. Stevedores on a Strike
More than 700 Cuban stevedores are
now out on strike, and the work on
ships in the harbor is being done by
Chinese under police guard. The
stevedores had boou receiving 25 cents
per hour, and are striking for an in
crease of 10 cents. Many vessels are
delayed by the strike and the boats
that are due to leave tomorrow will
not be able to sail before next week,

Army corps did no meet today, as was

LIVELY FIGHT OVER A GARDEN.
llattle Ilarkins and Robert Johnson
Entertaiu the Neighbors.
From Wednesday's Daily.
A lively little scrap is reported to
have taken place up on Washington
avenue at an early hour this morning,
and the finish is set lor tomorrow j
morning in police court. i
. i rr . t t it "
n seems mat name liarKins, wno
resides across the creek, near Mc
Maken's ice house, has a garden patch
and not wanting to cultivate it had
given one Robert Johnson the privi
lege of putting out . a garden. This
morning he put in an appearance and
was arranging to sow the seed with
the anticipation of a bounteous bar
vest, when the Ilarkins woman served
an injunction or something like that
preventing him from proc eeding with
the worlj. After having given him
permission to use the ground she had
concluded to give it to a poor man liv
ing near. Johnson-remonstrated with
her, and one word followed another
until finally, so Johnson relates, Miss
liarKins attacked him with brick bats.
When he appeared before Judge
Archer to swear out a warrant for her
arrest blood was llowing from his fore
head freely. Ho nys in audition to
this che struck him several times in
the back, supposedly when be was re
treating, llattle also claims that
JohnFon conducted himself in a vicious
manner, drawing a hoe on her.
The episode attracted the neighbors
in the vicinity, who will be subpoenaed
as witnesses, und the matter will be
given a thorough airing tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock.
Viola Muehlinski, who is employed
in the restaurant at tho rear of F. G.
Fgenberger's saloon, caused the arrest
of Joseph Ilutla.who was given a hear
ing last evening before Pol ice Judge
Archer. The cause of Viola's wrath
as set forth in the complaint i- that
the said Ilulla u-ed obscene and
threatening language wbiie talking to
her in the restaurant S tturday even
ing. However, in the hearing she
failed to prove that he used language
that the judge deemed of a nature to
warrant him in fining Ilulla, and the
case was dismissed.

Fight at a Dance
From Thursday's Daily.
There were a large number of spec
tators in police court thi morning to
listen to the testimony in the liar
kins Johnson wrangle, the particulars
of which were printed in yesterday's
News. After hearing the testimony
Judge Archer concluded that a fine of
11 each would be about right. Miss
Ilarkins paid her fine and costs and
Robert Johnson gave security for the
payment of his line.
From the testimony it could not be
determined who struck the first lick,
but the U irkins wi m in's face bore
marks where Johnson had st her.
and for that reasou Archer lined him.
Although it had no bearing on the case
the fact was brought out that some of
Johnson's bed clothing was in posses
sion of Miss Harkitu and that they had
been very good friends btforo thi
trouble came up.
Upon the advice of Judge Archer the
Ilarkins woman paid Johnson for the
work he had performed in the garden.

likely te be any further trouble be

Jake Miller was arraigned in Justice
Archer's court this morning charged
with the theft of a large e-isting,
a part of a brick press, belonging to
Rasmus Petersen, residing on High
school hill. Petersfu claims tho iron

dered worthless without that purlieu

REPORT OF CHICAGO MARKETS
Chicago, May 12, lS'JO.
The opening of the market this
morning was much stronger and frm-
er than last night's close. Especially
was the strength demonstrated in corn
which opened J cent higher. The
Liverpool cables showed a loss of id.
on wheat and a gain of id. on corn.
Numerous crop damage reports gave
wheat somewhat of strength and it ad
vanced from iJ to 7;J, when it seemed
to get topheavy and declined rapidly
to 70 again and at 11:30 stood at that
point
Corn, which had been somewhat
weak on account of the Buffalo strike,
grew immediately strong upon me
final settlement of the difficulty and
large exports helped push up Iho
price, the clearances for today being
$333,240, while the combined clearance
of wheat and flour amounted to $43.,
000. Argentine exports for tho wcrk
were 270,000 bushels of wheat and 340,-
000 bushels of coan.
Oats was strong in sympathy with
other grain and gained from 'i to ic
Hog products also had a rally on the
strength in corn and live hogs went 5e
higher but later lost all tho g un.
News from southern Illinois says
that the chintz bugs and the Hessian
fly have attacked the wheat fields and
are doing nn immense amount of dam
age.
The weather report predicts frost
for western Nebraska and that a lower
temperature may be expected all over
the corn and wheat belt
From noon until the close tho ma;
ket grew stronger, wheat reaching
70ge, the high point, near the close,
and closing within a split of tb -i t fig
ure. The Modern Miller, a milling per
iodical says the wheat situation is very
serious and the sentiment regarding
that cereal very bullish.

WORMS AND CYCLONES.
Trial of the Wharf Owner In Southern
beaboanl Cities.
This Is the time the small white tor-
redo worm does business down south
in the wharf plies of cypress wood.
The first warm day of spring the wharf
owner looking down Into the green
water lapping the edge of his pier sees
a swarm of floating insects about an
inch long and about a yard below the
surface. The next day he looks for
them and they are gone, every one
gone into his good piles. They will
never be seen again this season; they
will come the next, and by the third
year the wharf owner will need to put
in a new lot of piling. The torredo
worms eat away steadily until they
cut the hard logs fairly through just
Deiow the high water mark. In years
past it was the custom in some of the
seacoast cities of the south to build
wharves of a cribbage or logs, resting
on the harbor bottom and packed in
with concrete. But the almost, yearly
cyclones picked up these contrivances
and set them down bodily a quarter of
a mile uptown in some quiet street.
With seventy feet of mud for a bottom
and heavily loaded wharves for the
torredo worm working persistently "in
to the morning," "the Lord knows." as
a Charleston wharf owner said the
other day, "what holds us up." New

The queen or Belgium did not lack
sympathy in her recent illness, for, in
addition to the most patriotic expres
sions from her subjects, telegrams and
letters came piling into the Belgian
court from all quarters, says the Bos

original communications were from
England. An Englishman addressed a
letter to Princess Clementine offering
to forward some remarkable device
which had cured him of broncho
pneumonia, inclosing a photograph
which showed into what a healthy
specimen of humanity he had since de
veloped. Another, believing her ma
jesty's illne.3 due to cancer, sent a
triple-weight letter describing several
cures for this disease. A third said
his valise was packed'and he was only
awaiting a telegraphic call, when he
would go at his own expense, and
guaranteed a cure within twenty-four
hours. There were also several let

ADELAIDE KEMBLE.
She Kept a Charmed Circle of Delighted
Hearer.
Sunday after Sunday used to fin
Mrs. Sartoris at Little Holland hou3e
and there, or whereer else she migh
be, it could be sam: nertj she s:
was the head of the table; the humble
seat became a throne, around whic
her versatile, -brilliant and witty di
course, emphasized by the mobile pi:
of feature and an incomparable v
riety of gestures, kept a charmed ci
cle of delighted hearers, says the Cor
hill Magazine. The Kemble beau
reigned in her face, and in the variety
of its expressions the quiver of the
nostrils played a leading part; never
r-an a human nostril have helped its
owner to express indignation, amuse
ment and a thousand other emotions of
mind and spirit as did Mrs. Sartoris.
We found her on- day greatly pleased;
she had had the visit of an old gentle
man who had known Mrs. Siddon3, and
he had told her that he had been
struck, on the first interview with
her, with the similarity of one of
her gestures to a favorite gesture
of her aunt's a downward em
phatic wave of her fan at the
ronolrs'on of a sentence. All who
knew ;:rs. Sartoris will remember
how r-nstantly she rounded off her
periods with this movement, some
times striking her fan into the palm of
her left hand, and will understand her
pleasure at learning that she had in
herited it from her illustrious aunt.

Recent events have stirred the Brit
ish and Foreign Bible society 'o some
prompt feats of translation, and por
tions of the new testament in no less
than four tongues are in preparation
for the Philippines, says tne Boston
Transcript. The first three gospels and
the Acts in Tagalog, the language of
the dominant native race there, are
actually printed; St. Luke's gospel in
Ilocono Is nearly finished; and the
same hook in Bicol is ready for issue.
These renderings, it appears, are large
ly due to the energy of the society's
agent in Madrid, the Rev. R. O. Walk
er, who secured the collaboration of
some exiled Filipinos. Almost the
whole testament has been translated
into Pangasinan. Another notable un
dertaking is the printing of St. John's
gospel in Lusoga, for use in those dis
tricts east of the Nile. This version
has been made by the Rev. F. Rowling
of the Church Missionary society and
is regarded for many philological rea
sons as an interesting addition to the
400 or so of languages and dialects In
which the sacred books are circulated
from Queen. Victoria street, London.
