i SPICY TESTIMONY ■ __ L'e'Jt.Col. Gabell, of Arkansas Repirts Observation. i PATIENTS KEGLEGTED. ■ Officers Rebuked For Cruelty to Privates Anniston, Ala., Oct., 27. — Among the witnesses before the War Investigating Committee *1 today ware Fontaine Ragland V and Edward Simmons, two col | ored men of the Third Alabama; 11. C. Lemke, a quartermaster sergeant of the Fourth Wiscon sin ; Congressman colonel of the | Fourth Kentucky, and Lieut r Col. Cabell, of the Second Ar kansas. Col. Cabell said in reply to , questions put by Dr. Connor, that he had observed a condition of affairs at the hospital of the Second Division of the Third Army Corps in June, which he B considered horrible. He had p himself seen one sick man lying without the protection of even a s teat, and had been informed by other officers that several others had been left in the same way. He thought that ths doctors were honest enough, but that they did not know how to get supplies. Mule drivers had been used for nurses and he had been reliably informed that many of them were in the habit of getting drunk, and on this occasion neg glecting their patients. He said that Dr. Schooler was the divi sion surgeon at the time. Col. Cabell is a lieutenant in the regular army, and his testimony made an evident impression upon the commission. Major Charles F. King, sur geon of the Fourth Wisconsin regiment, was one of the wit nesses this afternoon. Dr. King said that the medical supplies of his regiment were insufficient and that there was much delay in getting requisitions filled. He thought there was a sufficient quaatity of food, but ■’“ iO some of the n*'* 4 *ould not eat it, n ../viTing to buy food for them selves. General Wilson asked if the mea had ever complained to him as Surgeon of the regiment, and Dr. King replied that they had. “What did you say to them?” asked the General, “I told them to go to the devil, and eat what they had,” he re plied. “I think that a very improper reply for you to have made,” said General Wilson, and he declined to further continue the examina tion.

THE LEGISLATURE (Continued from Ist, page.) party meeting. Even Senator M. W. tSross, of the 29th district, the only populist member of the upper house, was not present Senator William Clifton, of the second district did not run for the presidency of the senate, as he had threatened to do, and as senator declined to take the oatb of office in order that, as secre tary of state, he co ild be a ecu spicuous figure in the inaugura tion ceremonies next Saturday But as secretary of the senate lu called that body to order, ami voted for the candidates who were elected to office in the senate. It is a matter of history that Col. Clifton is the most übiquitous figure in Georgia politics, and if anybody else should attempt to held so many offices at the same time it would lead to unending legal contro versies. Governor-elect Allen D. Can dler is in the city, and will re main here until next Saturday evening. At noon Saturday he will be inaugurated, and, in spite of bis desire and effort? to make the inauguration ceremo nies as simple as possible, it is pretty certain that there will be a tremendous jubilee in and about the capitol when he takes the oath. All the railroads are giving special reduced rates and large crowds of visitors are look ed for from every section of the state. The fact that Col. Candler’s election marks the dea*h of pop ulism and independism in Geor gians largely responsible for the movement to give his adminis tration a noisy send-off, and un less all signs fail, there will be a whole lot of political pyrotech nic in Atlanta day after tomor row.
