Washisgtos, March -4.- Lieutenant
I W. V. Kennoo, who has served for
four j oars on General Crook's staff, U
now on temporary duty in thia city and
very much shocked to learn of the gen
eral's death, 'lie was ::ne of the great
est general that tola country ever had,"
he said, a "wonderf ul strategist, a re
markable soldier himself, thoroughly
well versed in all iha principles of the
art of war. In Indian warfare he was
undoubtedly pre-eminent. Thia was
due in a measure 10 his wondrous
knowledge of the Indian character.
During the early part of hia army life
which has all been spent In tha weal,
with the eiwption of the war time, he
learned tc become a thorough huntsman
and woodman. In maiy respects he hud
the traits of an Indian keen, quick,
NUong and with good judgment when
in a wilderness. II knew the Indians
us I know my alphabet, and he treated
Item on all occasions with that honesty
that formed a remarkable factor in
his character. Whatever he said he
metit, and ha never went back on his
word. A promise was sacred with hiin
just as much to an Indian as to any
one else. These men learned to trust
him and to love him, although lie was a
terrible enemy to them. During his last
visit to me at Vernon barracks, in Ala
bama," said Lieutenant Kennon,"the old
Apaches whom he captured in Arizona
greeted hiui and even embraced him.
One of them once told him out in
the nest that his people looked upon
hioi as they did upon God, as being
tlte soul of honor and of truth, I hey
had the ulmoat belief in even thing he
did. His honesty was peculiar in
its intensity. He would not even
say w a man, "I am glad to see
you," ifhe did not really feel glad.
In matters of thought he wan slow,
cautious and logical in method and he
weighed argument carefully before corn
ing to a decision, with an unerricg
judgement lie had a kind, considerate,
loveable character, simple and approach
able, simple in bis manners and his
tastes and retiring and quiet in las act

sorts of literature, especially upon mili

good many letters from the general
sine he left me here in January last, in
which he has complained of a slight ill
ness. It started with the grip, from
which he. soon recovered, but occasion

being 'under the weather.' (hi the 10th
of this mont h he wrote that he was very
much better. During his celebrated
Apache campaign he received an injury
in hie cvert f rem over exertion which
seemed to have an effect on his lungs,

Xew York, March 2". Thegrand jury
today handed down a long presentment
to J udge Fitzgerald, in which the sher
iff's office is characterized a a disgrace
to the city and a shame to civilization.
The presentment in referring to sher
iffs' sales, says: "During the three
years eaded January 1, 1880, one linn of
auctioneers conducted sberffs' sale
from which were realized the sum of
11,387,508. Of this sum M.1,9CJ7 was di
v ided between the sheriff and auctioneer.
In the year 1889 the sheriffVproiits
were over $Mfl0O. How much more he
received for extra compensation cannot
be learned because of the looseness of
hia accounts. Under the system in
vogue the deputy sheriff, to realize sub
stantial pecuniary advantage, is almost
compelled to commit criminal acta,
certainly to lay aside all ideas of honeet
ty and integrity."
The foreman of the grand jury said
the inquiry had failed to reveal a single
redeeming element in the management
of the sheriff's office. It was a black
record of violated law, tardy justice,
forced settlements, corruption and brib
ery. It was no longer a question of what
ought to be done to remedy the existing
evils, but what must be done at once
and without delay. The foreman asked
that copies of . the presentment be sent
to the governor and the state legists
ture.

THEY ARE GUILTY.
Xw Voaic, March 2..-AtL2uiu vestr
dar mornimr the iurv in the Flack case
came into the court and announced that
they had found all three of the defend
ants Sheriff Flack, his son William
and Joseqh Meeks guilty.
The arguments closed in the case
Saturday evening and Judge Barret
delivered a lengthy charge. It was divid
ed on two deiinations he gave of a con
spiracy in law:
1. ' To do an unlawful act oy unlaw
ful nieaus.
1 To do a laatul act b unlawful
means. Therein no douU the judg
ment record is that of fraudulent defense.
Under the first divisoo the jury must
decide w aether the suit was falsely insti
tuted and if Mrs. Flack had - given her
con Meet. Under the second division,
assuming that Mrs. Flack had agreed to
the proceedings and had a right to
divorce, it would be necessary to con
sider the unlawful means employed to
procue it. The judge also touched on
all the important points in the ei ideuce.
He charged the jury an to reasonable
doubt and left the ae with them.
A sensation was created at midnight
by the reKrt that a reporter had been
found in the room with the jury. He
wasDilworth Otioate of the World, and
ttdiuittrtl that he had eomealed hininelf
behind the curtains in the room. The
defense deiuaudt-d that he be punished.
Judge Barrett said the law did not pro
vide punishment. Choate was compell
ed to give up his notes and Judge Barret,
after expressing his alioniinution of the
act, asxed C'hoat to say that he would
not publish what he had herd. Ohoate
declined to make the promise.
The jury slrouglv recmumeuded olem
ency. The Judge said as it w as Sunday
all he could do as to except the verdict,
the defendants would remain under
bail of .haJ each. The penalty for the
offeni-es of which the prisoners were
convicted is one year's imprisonment, or
a tine of 8.'d(t or bonth. It is under
stood the defense will move to set aside
the verdict on the ground that the pres
ence of a reortr in the jury room
vitiated the proceedings for jounsel.
The Judge said he needed no counsel
He was allowed to go and the jury was
sent back to delilerate.

Mkmi-his, March 28. The low lands of
Mississippi and Arkansas seem to be
dooomed. The levees are continually
breaking and the floods are practically
beyond control. Work on lhecrevass
at Arkansas City has been suspended,
which means devastation for that sec
tion. At Shipwita, sixty miles below
Greenville, n big levee broke yesterday
morning, overflowing the little town and
sweeping away several houses. The
break was instantaneous. A leading
citizen, standing in four feet of water
and holding his child on his shoulders,
telephoned an appeal for a skiff and
boats to rescue drowning people. He
had seen some of hia neighbors drown
close to bim, and reported that many
more would suffer the same fa'e. He
claims the people living in the country
cannot escape. Repeated warnings
have had no effect on them, as they feel
secure beyond their big levees. The
break is bad and the levee is melting
like a snow bank. Rescuing parties in
boats have jeen organized nt various
points. Livestock will be drowned by
thousands, as no provision has been
made for removing them, and the gov
ernment boats patrolling the banks can
do no more than the rescuing of human
lives.

A Persevering Prisoner.
"Perseverance will accomplish any
thing." I had these words for a writ
ing lesson once, and I shall never for
get them. It is a great thing lo have
perseverance. There was once a uian
who was shut up in a dungeon wiih
walls 'AKJ feet thick, made of the hard
est kind of stone. He hail no tools ex
cept a pair of scissors his brother had
sent him io a loaf of bread, but he re
membered that a drop of water will
wear away a stone if it fulls on the
stone long enough, and that a coral
worm, which is so small that you can
hardly see it, will eat up and destroy a
coral reef if you will only give it time
enough. So he said that he would per
severe and dig a hole through the wall
of the dungeon with the scissors and
escape if it took him a hundred years.
He had been digging about a year
when the Governor pardoned him, and
the jailer brought him the joyful news.
But tbey couldn't get him to leave tho
dungeon. He tola the jailer that he
had undertaken lo dig bis way through
tho wall and escae in that war, uud
that ho was going to stick to it no mat
ter how long it might take. The jailer
urged him to give it up and walk out
of he door, and even offered him 10
to give up his dungeon to a new lodger,
but notluug could induce him toenail"
his mind, bo he staid in the dungeon
aud dug away at tho wall for forty,
seven years, and every six months ho
bad to par a big bill for damages to
the jail.aud he finally died when lie was
ball through the wall. This shows
what a splendid thing perseverance U
and that we all ought to persevere.
