THE TRIAL OF WHIZ.
CONTINUATION OF THE EVIDENCE
FOR THE DEFENCE.
OFFICIAL DENIAL THAT wiaz IS NOT TREATED
WELL IN PRISON.
WABltltiaTox, Sept. 27.—The examination of
Colonel Fannin - Was resumed from yesterday
for the defence.
Mr. Baker asked the witness whether he
heard General Cobb, in his speech at Ander
sonville, make use of the remarks attributed
to him by the witness, Mr. Walker.
Judge Advocate Chipman objected to the
question for reasons which he stated, and his
objection was sustained by the court.
The witness then testified that he heard
General Cobb make a speech about the Ith of
March, 18135 ; he could not precisely relate
what the General said, but his address was
More to the troops than to others, as there had
peen great disaffection in the camp, and men
were constantly desertin ;he insisted that
the soldiers should do their duty.
Question by Mr. Baker. Did you or not at
that time hear General Cobb make use of any
language—
Judge Advocate Chipman (interrupting) re
quested that the question be reduced to
writing, and that the witness retire, where
upon the witness retired.
Mr. Baker regarded this as a personal insult
to him.
Colonel Chipman replied that the practice
- was not unusual, and that it was a greater in
sult for the counsel to insist on asking im
proper questions.
Mr. Baker said that the Government wit
nesses had, day in and day out, been examined
in the presence of one another, and now that
those for the defence were to be examined,
Counsel were to reduce their questions to
writing, and the witnesses to retire until this
was done. If this was insisted upon by this
court, be must stop.
The court remarked that Mr. Baker took a
rather unfair view of the subject. The Jildge
Advocate did not ask him to put all his ques
tions in writing but only this one.
I.
Mr. Baker.never made such a request
- when the witnesses for the Government were
under examination.
Colonel Chipman. If you did not do your
duty, that is no reason I should not do mine.
The court. State what you want.
Baker. I must reply to the Judge Ad
'Meat%
The court. We don't want any speeches.
Let the room be cleared,
When the doors were reopened the witness
came in, and the president of the court read
from De 'Hart's Military Law to show that the
Judge Advocate was justified in the course he
bad taken. Besides, when the Judge Advocate
anticipated a question of a leading character,
be had a right to require the question to be
reduced to writing and submitted to him. He
was right either in asking that the room
be cleared or that the witness temporarily
retire.
Mr. Baker. To that I have no objection.
The court. That settles the point.
Mr. Baker. But I object to the witness again
being sent away.
The court. Vhe witness may again be re•
quested to retire and the question be reduced
to writing, if it should be thought proper to
do so.
Mr. Baker. Before doing so the Judge Advo
tate should bear my questions or give notice
that he - will make—
The court. We remarked that the court will
take eare of their own honor and dignity.
Mr. Baker. I do object to the sending of our
witnesses away.
The court. The question is very well settled.
Col. Chipman. I said "Colonel Fannin will
please retire."
Mr. Baker. I ask the same civility I extend
to you.
Col. Chipman. Have I not done it I
Mr. Baker. I don't think so ; althoughl know
.
your heart is good in that respect,
Mr. Baker waived his question, and Colonel
Fannin was then further examined with refe
rence to affairs at Andersonville.
Colonel Chipman read to the court the fol
lowing letter, addressed to him :
OLp CAPITOL PRISON, WASHINGTON, D. C.
Sept. 27,1W95.—5ir In reply to your communi
cation dated the 25th instant, in which you
state that the counsel for Wirz stated to-day
in defence for his giving money, etc., to the
prisoner to procure something to eat that
he could not get at the Old Capitol—those
' things he needed—and intimating that he
was not well eared for by me, and requesting
Ine to report instantly what treatment he re
ceives, I. have the honor to inform you that
Captain Wirz is treated in every respect as leni
ently as is consistent with his position and
compatible with my duties. lie is furnished
with a cot and bedding such as are used in the
United States 'Medical Department, furnished
with a mosquito bar Of he chooses to eat the
prison fare, he is furnished with the same ra
tions allowed soldiers of the United States ar
my, with the addition, four times per week, of
the principal fresh vegetables in the market.
unwelhhe is supplied with such diet as May
be prescribed by the surgeon of the prison,
which is procured from the prison funds. lie
is also permitted to procure such eatables as
he may be able to purchase. He is also al
lowed any books that can be procured. The
only restraint to which he is subjected is that
placed upon his liberty, and such precautions
as will preclude his committing any injury to
himself. I think if Capt. Wirz is interrogated
he will verify this statement.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
GEORGE WEST,
Capt. and Military Supt. Old Capitol Prison.
fib Coi. Chipman, Judge Advocate _Military COll4-
911ission for trio/ of Wirz.
It will be recollected that Col. Chipman, yes
terday, called attention to the fact that Mr.
Schade, one of the counsel for Captain Wirz,
had received two letters from the prisoner for
delivery . to his wife, and had spoken of such
proceedings as improper. He t04.14r: =malt to
the court one Of those lettexs.-.-"-thOWS
OLD CAPITOL 18aa. —My
dearest mdie nave been hoping to see you
On Sunday, and also yesterday. God only
knows how I wish to see you. Lize, I have one
thing to ask of you, and do it immediately, if
you can. Send .Mr. Schade ten dollars. It is
for a certain purpose. I send you an envelope
directed to him. Just put the money in ; you
need not to 'write; all that it requires is to put
a post-stamp on it, and send it off. lam some
what better. I hope to see you to-morrow.
Yours, H. WIRE.
Mr. Schade remarked it was true he took let
ters from the prisoner to be delivered to his
wife, but knew nothing of their contents. He
Certainly acted with the most innocent inten
tion.
The court was cleared for deliberation, and
when the doors were reopened Major General
Wallace, the president of the court, addressing
Mr. Scbade, said his conduct in the premises
was fully appreciated by every member, but
considering the stage of the trial, anti fearing
that any further action would be detrimental
to the prisoner they had concluded to let the
matter drop. "I am of the opinion," he added,
44 that you are now sufEiciently warned."
Meat, Jelin F. Heath, of the 3d Georgia Re
serves, testified that in the summer of 181 ii
_
Capt. itz was sick, and expected to die ;he
had seen the defendant take from a lot of
Federal prisoners one-half of the vegetables
which they had bought.
Dr. Casten testified there was a good deal of
complaint among the troops about insult - Idle=
rations; the clothing was very inferior, and
there was no diet suitable for the sick; he had
never heard of Capt. Wirz maltreating prison
ers, and knew of no cases of starvation, emacia—
tion, and wasting away; there was much coin
pluint in North Carolina and elsewhere about
impure virus for vaccination.
Mr. Baker said they could show that from
this cause many private families were sick
and expected to die.
The witness said that the order to vaccinate
was imperative, Dr. Cumming:looming:to An
dersonville under the orders of the surgeon
general for that purpose.
Colonel Persons testified that be was first
sent to Andersonville, as commandant of the
post, by General Winder, In February, ISG4 ;
Captain Wirz came there in March; tue lat
ter's local orders - were framed by himself, but
the general orders came from General Winder ;
Captain Wirz urged that the hospital be re
moved Out of the stockade ; the witnesspeti
tioned General Winder to permit this to
be done, and his impression was that General
Winder declined, when the witness assumed
the responsibility of having the hospital
removed; afterwards
.General Winder gave
the permission - Captain Wirz protested
against crowding any more prisoners at
Andersonville; General Winder ordered the
dogs to be employed; the witness never saw
Turner's, but had seen Harris' dogs; they
were common rabbit dogs, and sometimes used
for catching negroes ; Captain Wirz expressed
great displeasure of the meagreness of sun
plies and the deficiency of the Quartermaste
Department ; the witness never heard of Cap
tain Wirz giving furloughs for shooting Union
prisoners ; if such had been given lie would
have heard of it; the witness, as commander
of the post, gave furloughs for under seven
days, but all over that time were granted by
General Winder ' • if any extraordinary vio
lence had been practiced by Captain Wirz lie
would have heard of it ; there was great diffi
culty in obtaining lumber for the prison.
The commission then adjourned.
The Earthquake in Lancaster.
A correspondent writes as follows to the
Lancaster Express:
EDITORS Lxraass : The question relating to
the recent phenomenon has not yet been an
swered, and we still ask, " What was it A
number of surmises and conjectures have
been advanced, both indefinite and unsatis
factory.
Having myself experienced a series of earth
quakes, continuing at intervals for nine
months, and in a, region of country where they
may be said to be intligenons,l fancy I became
so familiar with their character and effects, as
also with the sensations which they produce
upon the animal system, that I cannot be mis
taken.
That that which We beard and felt in this
city and county on Sunday the 17th inst., at 3
P. M. and at II P. M. was an earthquake, I have
not the slightest doubt. It is only necessary
to examine a scientific description.Of an earth
quake and its concomitants, and then compare
them as far as comparison is admissible, with
What was experienced on the occasion just
alluded to, to become fully convinced of this
fact. Such an examination will remove' all
doubts about its being serial or subterranean,
local, or of an unknown extent.
The learned have given us the following de
scription of an earthquake: "A shaking of
certain parts of the earth's surface, produced
by causes not perceivable by our senses. The
motion of the earth, when thus agitated, is of
different kinds; sometimes vertical, horizon
tal, undulating, and sometimes merely treinu
ions. The force of the shock also varies from
that which overthrows cities, turns the course
of rivers, and changes the entire aspect of a
country, to that which is so weak as to be
scarcely perceptible. It is always accompa
nied by low rumblinnoises, resembling dis
tant thunder, or withapparent mrial explo
sions, like the discharge of heavy artillery.
Sometimes the agitation of the earth is con
fined within a small circle, while at others it
extends to thousands of miles."
. .
All our observations go to prove that vol
canic eruptions and earthquakes are produced
by one and the same cause, by one and the
same chemical process, which has its seat far
.down below the surface of the earth. This
-cause is the accumulation of elastic vapors or
gases, evolved, and heated, and vitalized by
internal, tires, till by their expansion they
struggle for vent beneath the surface of the
earth, or throug.h the mouth of the volcano.
'Many historical - facts iniebt he sublimed in

proof of this. NOW, from the description of
an earthquake given above, in connection
With the facts just stated j take those parts
which admit of a Comparison, and you will
Bud then) to cOrreSpoint with the phenome
.non lately experienced in this city and county.
The earthquake of the 17th inst. was of a tre
mulous and slightly undulating motion of the
earth. It was accompanied by a low, rumbling
sound, like distant thunder. It was apparently
limited ; so far as is yet known, to our county,
and was doubtless produced by the causes de
scribed, viz: internal fires, evolving, i heating
and expanding vapors or gases, which were
searching for vent.
I, therefore, do not hesitate to say that ours
was a genuine earthquake, but, by a merciful
Providence, only on a small scale.
LANCASTER, September 45,1565.
THE CITY.
GIRARD Row.—The demand for dwelling
houseg is very great,fulve are informed that
houses in this TOW Will _rented little more
than a year- ago for 414,000 now bring $1,500.
Last year a great job was defeated by which
these sixteen houses, at an enormous cost,
would have been changed into sixteen stores,
in violation of Grirard , s will, and without any
present increase of revenue. This year the
project is to destroy the uniform appearance
of the front and the comfort of the tenants by
altering one or more of these residences into
ke.cream saloons and restaurants, making- it
to resemble the square opposite the State
House. We cannot believe that Councils or
the 'Mayor will sanction or permit any such
vandalism.
THE SABBATH-SCHOOL CONVENTION—
Secorm DAVH l'uocamomos.—The convention
remssembled yesterday morning, and, after
devotional exercises, the third of the questions
presented by, the business committee was
taken up for-discussion : " What are the quali
fications of a successful Sabbath-school super
intendent?"
Rev. Mr. Ayres, of Smyrna, thought that a
superintendent ought to treat Ins scholars
with great kindness and moderation -in order
to be successful with them. Scolding had no
effect s as he had learned from experience. The
superintendent should interest himself with
the children, and make them feel that he cares
for them.
Mr. Foulke desired to know how a superin
tendent could bring the teachers to a proper
realisation of their tasks. Too many teach
ers lack energy, and he thought that some
means should be adopted to interest them.
Rev. Mr. O'Neil, of Delaware, thought there
should be greater concert of action between
the superintendent and teachers.
Rev. Mr. Lymons said that firmness and de
cision were qualities which a school superin
tendent should possess. He should be sure
that his course is right, and he should then
carry it Out inflexibly, Punctuality should be
enforced as well in himself as others.
Rev. Mr. Miller thought good common sense
was sadly needed by some superintendents.
Rev. Dr. Cook thought that too much time
was given to long prayers and to the reading
Of lengthy passages of Scripture. Brevity was
a virtue. Short sentences do young minds the
most good, for they are most dwelt upon, and
can be easily remembered.
The fourth topic was then taken up, as fol
lows How may we more generally secure
the attendance of our scholars upon divine
service 1"
Rev. T. A. Fernley considered this the most
important of the questions that had been pre
sented. While the church had improved in
many things, it had retrograded in this. The
fault of non-attendance of the children lay
with the teachers and parents, and partly, per
haps, with the pastors. Another trouble was
that the service was not to their minds—they
did not understand it. A part of the service
should be for them, and then they Would know
they had an interest in the matter.
A letter was read extending the Christian
greeting of the meeting to the Maryland State
Sunday-school Convention.
On motion, a resolution was adopted recom
mending the several pastors and superin
tendents to hold quarterly Sunday-school love
feasts when practicable.
Adjourned till afternoon.
AFTERNOON sEssiox.
The convention reassembled at two O'clock,
and the session was opened with prayer.
The fifth topic—" What is the best order of
exercise in conducting a Sunday-schooll"—was
taken up.
Mr. Torrence thought that the best means
was the more general distribution of the ritual
of the church among the children.
Mr. Pyle said that in the Sunday-school un
der his charge the exercises were varied with
the singing of patriotic songs and the recita
tion of-poetry of a moral, loyal nature. Tem
perance hymns, too, were sung, and inter
spersed with the devotional exercises.
'Me seventh question—" How shall the co
operation of the older members of the church
be secured in Sabbath-schools r —was next dis
cussed at some length.
Several gentlemen deplored at length the
apathy which the members of the church felt
toward the Sunday-schools as they grew up.
Mr. Cookman thought they should be con
scripted to the work, and compelled to do it.
Mr. Slaty thought that love was stronger
than authority. The older folks should be
interested in the matter, and then they would
attend.
Mr. Muff sad that the teachers here thought
it too confining to go every Simdayland keep
in school and church so long. A different sys
tem was in use in England. There the schools
had three sets of teachers and officers, and
thus, while the term of each set only came
Once in three weeks, there was no fatigue.
Mr. Allen John thought that the services of
the children should be enlisted in the matter,
and get them to plague their older friends
into attending.
' The report of the Committee on Resolutions
was then read. Seventeen resolutions, all
that were presented, were unanimously
adopted.
The convention then adjourned into the
body of the church, where the children of the
Sunday-sehools were assembled. T. H. Thorn
ley was chosen to preside; after which Rev.
J. B. McCulloch read the Sith Psalm, Rev. Mr.
hicConnel delivered a prayer, and the children
sang the hymn "Marching Along."
Addresses were delivered by Hon. J. F.
Williamson, Rev. J. H. Torranee, George Cook.
man, Esq., Thomas Perrins, Esq., Rev. Benja
min Schofield, Bishop Simpson, and others.
The services were interspersed with singing
by the children, under direction of Professor
F'isher, of the Nazareth Methodist Church. •
Adjourned until evening.
In the evening an experience meeting and

EXHIBITION OF THE HORTICULTURAL
Socierv.—The annual autumnal exhibition of
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was
opened last evening, at the lot on the south of
the Academy of Music, in a pavillion eighty
by two hundred feet, which has been used for
similar purposes in the West.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Harmer, the chair
man of the Committee on Exhibition, in a neat
address, announced that the work of prepara
tion intwhichtfor some time the committee had
been {engaged was most satisfactorily com
pleted, He thanked the committee and the
workmen for their untiring efforts, and said
that but one thing remained to finish the work;
that was the raising of the American flag.
He then delivered a soul-stirring eulogy on
the flag, which was soon raised, and concluded
by calling upon all to give three hearty cheers
for it. The committee, a delegation from
the Fruit Growers' Association of Eastern
Pennsylvania, and members of the press, then
sat down to a collation prepared for them.
After partaking of the delicacies provided, D.
Rodney King, Esq., president of the asso
ciation, welcomed the guests, and expressed
his hope that before another autumnal ex
hibition would be given the association would
have ready for it a commodious hall, in which
the plants, fruits, and flowers could be pro
toted from the weather, and in whiell the
association could - hold its regular meetings
with every convenience. Responses were made
and other speeches followed.
It would be a work of superrogation to at
tempt to describe the beauty the scene pre
sented to our enraptured vision upon enter
ing the immense pavilion yesterday. Fruits,
plants, and flowers, from all quarters of the
globe, arranged with the highest taste—flowers
whose fragrance and beauty carried one in
imagination to the tales of Italian beauty, of
which one had read—fruits, whose lux r uriance
compelled the breaking of the commandment
" thou shalt not covet," lay in profusion before
us.
Let us begin at the entrance to the grand
pavilion. The first objects which invite our
attention are a number of sage palms ar
ranged in boxes on each side of the entrance.
Just beyond is the aquarium department. Mr.
Peter Raabe has a beautiful design, represent.
big the four elements—fire, water, earth and
air. The air is represented by canary birds.
The fire by some fancy-coloredlights arranged
on the top of the aquarium, amongst some
growing plants, which represent earth. The
fish and water, and water plants represent
water. Another aquarium in the rear con
tains frogs, lizards, &c.
Beside the aquarium is an edible pomegra
nate with fruit growing upon it, and is the
only one ever exhibited in this country. A
fig tree stands upon the same table beside the
pomegranate, and has also fruit upon it. To
the south of this there is a beautiful design of
Cut flowers surmounted by a tuft of pampas
grass. There are also along the same passage
to the west some beautiful specimens of cala
dium esculentum. About the middle of the
tent Mr'. D. Rodney King has a neat rural de
sign. There are six vases of cut flowers ar
ranged upon pedestals in an octagonal shhpe,
and covered with moss. Through each vase
or bouquet a gas-pipe ls run and. lighted, pre
senting a beautiful effect.
Near the back of the pavilion 15 amagnifleent
island of tropical plants, surrounded by a grass
walk, and adorned with fountains and statues.
In the centre of this the band will be stationed.
The position of the band is reached over a
beautiful rustic bridge, The design is very
much the same as that at our Sanitary Fair.
On the south of the centre walk, near the
tropical island, is a specimen of the cyanaphyl
lumtmagniflcum which has the most beautiful
leaf of any plant known.
Opposite the island is a flower spike of the
American aloe.
There are a number of phantom flowers,
some fine specimens of Palestine and other
grapes, there being by one contribution no less
than 6'2 varieties of foreign grapes. There are
some Bros column grapes, measuring three
inches in circumference • fine muscat grapes ;
also native grapes, in great variety, grown in
the open air.
Messrs. Elwanger Sc Barry, of Rochester, N.
Y., have 180 varieties of pairs, and 48 varieties
of apples.
E. atterthwaite, of Jenkintown, sends 120
varieties of pairs.
Richard Thacher, of Darby, sends CO varieties
of ipears.
Mr. rairman Rogers has a beautiful display
of hot-house plants, with hanging baskets, in
the southwest Corner of the pavilion.
A great lilly of New Holland, Just about
blooming, attracts much attention. It is the
first ever seen hi this country. A cotton plant
in flower, and a cane-brake, from New Orleans,
also attract attention.
• All along the south side the table is devoted
to vegetables, of which there is an almost end
less variety, Of every size, shape and style.
The arrangement of the interior is as follows :
The north .5.1.de (the right on entering) is de
voted to pladts. The south side to vegetables,
and the centre to fruits and designs.
The exhibition will continue to-clay and to
morrow. The lights are arranged in brackets
on each table, about six burners being at
tached to each bracket. The exhibition last
night was thronged with visitors.

low, of the Criminal Court, has an arduous
time in discharging the varied duties brought
to his attention. In addition to this, he sits
five hours in a day in a room the atmosphere
of which is poisonous.'- His Honor owns a
small lunch to be placed in a drawer near him,
and, a few days since, in opening the drawer
t
he discovered a little mouse helping• himselt
to the judicial repast. The Judge took some
of the 'lunch, but his raouseship never moved
but quietly looked.him in the face. A moral
may be drawn from this. The little creature
knew that the Judge would not interfere with
him for partaking of something to keep him
alive, provided he did not play thief and run
away. Conscious of his innecence that he did
not intend to steal, he, of course, remained in
his place, and still occupies the post of honor
in the drawer on the bench. Arcry few mice
are so favored as this one, as he now has his
meals pet apart for him, and, of course, will be

Aw HEROIC ARTION,—A horse attached
to a wagon ran off on Tuesday afternoon, and
came down Sixth street at a fearful rate. At
Race street the driver was thrown out and had

THE' COURTS.
Court of Quarter Sessions—Hon. James
B. Ludlow, Associate Justice.
[Williainß. Mann, Esq., District Attorney.]
EXCELLENT ADVICE.
A idelfeate and very respectably-looking young
lady came into court, and expressed her desire to go
bail for a man charged with stealing a boat. She
gave her age at Z 3, but did not look to be more than
II years of age. Dir. Calton, the accomplished clerk
Of the court, as in duty bound, administered the
oath to tier, and put the usual interrogatories. Her
statement was that her husband had ueert—kined in
the army, and that she was possessed of real estate.
Mr. Gatton then introduced the dashing young
widow to Judge Ludlow. His Honor was a little
startled at the youthful appearance of the lady and
her passion, but the Judge cannot be impressed
even by the widow of a soldier, so he Just tout her,
in good. old Anglo Saxon, that if she had real estate
she had better keep It. To go bail for persons
charged with larceny wits about the best way possi
ble to loose what property she might have. The
young lady.left the court, we hope, deeply im
pressed with the good advice given her by the ex
cellent Judge. 4
A STRAID'iF. VERDICT.
. . _
The jury in the ease of the boy charged with rape
came into court. Before their verdict was rendered
Mr. Cassidy said he understood the jury had sepa
rated.
Judge Ludlow said, let the verdict be taken.
It will be recollected that the Commonwealth
abandoned the case, and the court instructed the
jury that it was a very weak one.
The foreman announced the verdict—Guilty of as
' molt and Mittel y. with a recommendation to mercy.
The judge said the verdict was astonishing.
Mr. Cassidy said the verdict of the jury ought to
be publicly characterized as a disgrace to public
justice and the administration thereof. He moved
the verdict be set aside.
The case of Thomas J. Wolfe, charged with false
pretence, was resumed.
Eleven jurors were empaunelled on Tuesday, and
a special venire issued. Yesterday morning a juror
was taken from the regular panel and the special
jurors were illseharged. Time who did not attend
were tined fifty dollars, and the sheriff was directed
to Collect the amount by attachment. The ease of
Mr. Wolfe was then proceeded with.
We have already published this case when It was
heard on [habeas corpus. The charge is that Mr.
Wolfe purchased goods, rcpmentlng himself to be
worth $lO,OOO, and subsequently made over his pro
perty to a relative.
