LYEM FATALLY WOUNDED YBSTBBDAY. Kia Two Tent Mateo Are Mow Under Arrest-Other Items of Interest Fromjamp. Yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock Private Win. J. Linn, Co. M, Capt. Hodgee, was shot in the head with a 38 caliber bullet, the ball entering just above the left eye pawing through and coming out in the top of the bead. « Linn and a bum companion claim** ing La Croat, Wis., as their home, en titled in Capt. Hodges’ company some time ago and have been very good soldiers. Yesterday they, with their other tent mate, were having a sociable game of cards, but it is claimed had aban doned the sport and were lounging in their tent when the camp was aroused by the report of a pistol and all rush ed to Co. M’s street to find Ptivate Linn lying upon the floor of bis tent with the blood oozing from two boles ic hie head. When asked if it was an accident Linn eaid yes Yet two men swore they saw the shooting and that Linn’s murdered him. Conflicting statements given in be fore Col. Candler caused the arrest of both Linn’s tent mates who were placed in the guard bouse with or ders to be kept there until released by Col. Candler. Linn’s condition is considered se rious and hardly a shadow of hope is entertained for bis recovery. Little news of interest to 'be public is now to be obtained at Camp North en. The regular daily drills and occa sionally a long march, with the other routine work, is the same each day. The men are now discussing the probability of going to Jacksonville. All confess they are wt aloes to under stand the actions of the war depart ment The regiment was ordered two weeks ago to report to General Lee at Jacksonville, and since that day nu* merous other orders have been issued which keep thinge.in a constant state of uncertainty. Wednesday afternoon the regiment went on a ten mile march and most of the men were feeling the effects of it yesterday and remained within their tents except when .duty called them away. This was one of the longest marches they have yet taken. Some few drop ped out who were put in the ambulance wagon and carried to camp The enlisted men of Co. L presented Lieut. Col. Berner with a very hand some and costly sword yesterday af ternoon. This company is mostly from Forsyth, Col. Berner’s home, and this beautiful gift was an acknowl edgement of their esteem of him, their former first lieutenant The company was lined up in their street in the presence of Col. Berner when First Sergeant Wm. T. Bracken, in a very neat way presented the sword which was received-by Col. Berner in the most appreciative manner. The sword is very beautifully en** graved and on one side in large letters is “To Lietrt» Col. Robert L Berner,” while on the other side is “From the enlisted men of Co L, 3rd Inf’t., U. 8. Ga. Vols." Col. Berner is justly proud of this remembrance from the men whom he served so long in the state militia and who are now in his battalion. The hospital seems to be well filled at present. Some ars confined for slight illness while others are of se rious nature and are causing uneasi ness among the attendants.

Secretary Alter Preuaring to Come South and Inspect Camps Washington, Sept. 15 —General Miles is confined to his bod with lever resulting in part from the work and exposure of bis recent campaigns. The general has been ailing for some days, and although he came to army headquarters for two hoots yes terday, there was already some evi dence of fever. Today the fever symp toms were rather more marked, and the physician who was called it* in sisted upon the general’s remaining in bed. Colonel Hecker, of the staff of Sec retary Alger, returned today from Detroit, where be accompanied the secretary on his recent trip west. He says the secretary was accorded a mftst co'dial reception by hie towns people, those who' know him best. Colonel Hecker dismisses rather con temptuously the reports that the secretary would resign. ThedatiSr is enjoying a rest prepar atory to his start next Sunday on a visit to the southern camps. He ex pects to return to Washington on September 27 How to Muster Soldiers Out. Au army officer tells how the sol diers are mustired out: When the orders come to muster out a company a muster roll ie made. Thia contain* tbe names of men,where enlisted, the accoutrement they pos sess belonging to tbe government and much other data of this kind. Tbe men are then called up singly to be examined by tbe surgeon. II nothing is the matter with them the statement that they are healthy is en* tered opposite their names, so making it impossible for them to secure a pension, This was not done in tbe last war and many pensions were drawn when they should not have bad any money at all. If, on tbe other band, any physical disability contracted in tbe service is found the man is entitled to a pension. After this physical examination is over the pay roll is examined and the full smount due the soldier is handed over. He is then held accountable for all property (excepting shoes, un derclothing and uniform) turned over to him by the government and if any thing is missing he is compelled to pay for it. If the soldier desires to keep his gun, knapsack or any other ol his accoutrements he is given tbe privilege to do so if he pays tbe amount these cost tbe government. After all of this has been gone through with the men are put under a special < fficer and given transportation to whatever point the enlistment oc curred. Here they are dismissed and allowed to go where they please. In case a man is disbonorsbly dis charged he is left to his own resources, and no transportation is furnished.

While religious music will doubtless live as long as religion itself theruis one branch of it—if music it can be called—which is luckily becoming ob solete I refer to bells and chimes. I shall never forget the look of distress with which a famous organist once said to me that whenever he heard a set of chimes he wished he could put his ears in his pocket. • In these days at *1 nickel watches bells are no longer needed to inform people when the service begins. They are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and often a dangerous one, for they have killed many invalids whose life depend ed upon a few hours’ sleep, which the bells murdered. In New York bell ring ing has been frequently stopped on ac count of complaints to the board of health. If it seems desirable to have a means of summoning worshipers to church, why not adopt the delightful old custom that is still observed in some south Ger man villages and in the city of Stutt gart? There four trombone players as cend a church tower three times a day and play a solemn chorale. In all my musical experience I have never beard anything more thrilling than those majestic harmonies in the air, which seemed to come straight from heaven. If our churches would adopt this custom and these celestial sounds became associated with religious experiences, they might arouse the dor mant devotion of many a one who other wise would pass the church door by.- Forum. .

A gentleman, while traveling on a certain railway, got out at > station where the train stopped for a few min utes and entered the refreshment room. His eyes resting on a basket containing buns, he suddenly burst into tears. The sympathetic attendant gently asked him what was the matter and elicited the following touching explanation: "Pray excuse my emotion. Two years ago I was traveling on this line on my honeymoon. My wife came into this refreshment room and scratched our ini tials on a bun which I see in this bas ket I beg you to let me have it as a tender souvenir. Here is half a dollar. ” —New York Ledger.
