THE FIFTH INFANTRY
iUS *fr < - f 4 1 *»• ' •
Reached Calh un Sunday, But Had Re

TO GO TO THE CITI OF NASHVILLE
A Chattanooga Gentlemanjtells the Times
the Beason the Regiment left So
1 Hastily For Ft. McPherson.
The Chattanooga Times of yesterday
says: There is soknething a little curious
I about the actions and movements of the
Fifth United States infantry, with regard
to the order sent out by Secretary of War
Alger, ordering it to Nashville. A some
what knowing citizen stated to a re] or
ter yesterday his views concerning the
same, and which are as follows:
•‘When the Fifth infantry arrived at
Chickamauga park it was given out by
•» its officers that it would surely remain
there not less than fifteen days. Wed
nesday or Thursday it received notice
from Col. Ward at Nashville that Secre
I tary Alger would shortly order it to
Nashville.
“Immediately there was a general
packing up. and Col. Cook left early Fri
day morning with his entire command
for Fort McPherson, at the same time
sending Lieut. O’Brien and several ser
geants, ordilies. etc., to this city, ostensi
bly to receive the order from the secretary
of war. In the meantime the regiment
continues its march, and leaves Ring
gold early Saturday morning before the
telcgrnph offices are open, so I am told.
“In the meantime the order arrives at
Chickamauga park Saturday and is re
ceived by the artillery company there,
which finds no way of getting it to Ooi.
Cook. The whole thing in a nutshell is
this: The people of Nashville wanted
the Fifth regiment, but the Fifth regi
ment did not want to go, as It had on
its old and dusty fatigue uniform, and in
' various other ways not presentable for
the trip.
“Consequently, it has simply dodged
Secretary's Alger’s order, and if the
i latter makes any complaint about it.
Col. Cook can say with truth that he
received no order, but heard of same
and left Lieut. O’Brien and several
soldiers in Chattanooga to receive the
order—which never came, or least
they never received it if it did come.
“This is a somewhat venerable
dodge which the regiment is playing
on the new secretary. Nothing suits
the officers of a regiment better than
to get out of range of headquarters
and telegraph stations where they
can avoid any commands from the
powers that be.”
Lieut. O’Brien was in the city all
day yesterday on the lookout for Sec
retary’s Alger's order, but failed to
receive anything of the kind, so it is
said.
A dispatch from Calhoun to the
Times says:
The Fifth regiment struck camp
here today after a march of twenty
» miles from Villanoa, where they
camped last night.
Col. Cook has received several tele
grams today from the exposition and
railroad authorities, urging him to
take a special train from here to
Nashville, but unless orders are re
ceived by him from the war depart
ment during the night to that effect
he will resume his march Atlanta
ward at 6 o’clock tomorrow morning.

PARK ELECTRIC ROAD.
Directors of C. R. & S. R. R. Say They
Will Entertain the Proposition.
The indications now are that A. M.
Pennock will succeed with his proposed
electric road to Chickamauga Park says
the Chattanooga Times of Sunday. He
recently wrote the president and gover
< ing directors of the Chattanooga, Rome
and Southern railroad asking them
whether they would entertain a proposi
tion looking to the use of their tracks for
’ such a road. Yesterday be received no ■
tice that they would, and Mr. Pennock
will in a few days send them his formula
ted plan, which will be backed up with
ample capital to carry the scheme through
successfully.
Mr. Pennock’s plan is to use the tracks
of the railroad, using the underground

system instead of the trolley system. He
has consulted the Westinghouse Electric
company and they say that the Pennsyl
vania railroad is using the same system
on their road to the suburbs of Pitts
burg, and they can see no reason why
the same may not be used with success
in this case.
President Wilburn states that if the
C >mpany grants Mr. Pennock’s request,
a block system can be used similar to
those in use on the Cincinnati, Southern
a id Nashville and Chattanooga railroads.
The block throws a red signal before and
after them when on a block. Thus, a
train coming either way will know that
t lere is a car or train on that block. If
the signal is out of or Ji r it stands red a'l

be conducted on first- class principles ai d

completed.

A SENSATION IN NEWBERN.
Mau Enters Suit Against a Womau For
Breach of Broiuhe
Raleigh, Oct. 25. —Newbern people
are discussing a rare sensation. Rev.
J. A. Lee of Kinston was sent for to
officiate at the marriage of Rev. Francis
E. Dixon, pastor in charge of the Vance
boro circuit, and Miss Nannie West, the
lovely daughter of Seth West. When
the preacher got there Mr. West for
bade the marriage. Miss West was
also engaged to a rich young farmer of
Craven county named Kinsey, and the
cards were out to their marriage on
Nov. 27.
The parents of Miss West favored the
suit of Kimsey and opposed that of
Dixon. The young lady found that she
did not love Kinsey and did love Dixon
and wrote to Kinsey to break the en
gagement, but her letters were inter
rupted. Eventually the father con
sented to the marriage, provided she
would go across the Nense river. He
said she should not be married on his
side of the river. Therefore a party of
young people accompanied the couple
across tne river and the ceremony was
performed by Rev Mr. Lee on the
north bank. The couple left for the
home or Mr. Dixon’s mother.
Kinsey bus employed counsel at New
bernand in»citured suit against Mrs.
Dixon for breach of promise, and
against her hush md and mother for
alienating her affections.

San Francisco, Oct 25.—The claim
of Dr. Joseph O. Hirechielder of this

RESCUED MISS CISNEROS.
Karl Decker Is the Newspaper Haro of
the Hour.
In the person of Mr. Karl Decker,
who rescued Evangelina Cisneros from
a Cuban prison, the reporter reaches his
apotheosis. Incidentally the public gets
an insight into the possibilities of the
newer journalism. It seems that beyond
the everyday reporters who write the
news, beyond the correspondents who
comment on the same, there is the com
missioner whose function it is to create
news.
Mr. Decker is a commissioner—a
commissioner of rescue, if you please.
He was sent to Cuba not to write about
the progress of the struggle for inde
pendence, but to get a young woman
out of prison. Meanwhile the New
KARL DECKER.
York newspaper which he represented
whooped things up on the outside in its
own peculiar style. This was done so
skillfully that an immense amount of
public interest in the case and a great
deal of sympathy for the incarcerated
Cuban girl were excited. Thousands of
women signed “monster petitions, ” and
prominent people all over the world,
including such men as Gladstone and
Pope Leo, were persuaded to write let
ters asking for the release of Miss Cis
neros. When things are redhot, Mr.
Decker, who in the meantime had been
carefully laying his plans in Havana,
steps in and rescues the young woman,
sends her to the United States and then
escapes himself under the very noses of
Weyler’s outwitted guards.
Mr. Decker has all the physical re
quirements of a hero and is fully fitted
to play Prince Charming on any stage,
even that of real life. He is a strapping
young athlete who was born in Wash
ington 29 years ago and has since at
tained a height of 6 feet besides some
200 pounds of muscular avoirdupois and
a long, blond mustache. He did his first
newspaper work on the Washington
Post when he was 18. Later he went to
work in the Washington bureau of the
Baltimore American and retained that
post for six years. In August, 1896, he
joined the Washington staff of the New
York Journal, and on two former occa
sions was sent to Cuba for that paper.
Just now he is being lionized, and his
address is Easy street.
