Court Martial Sentence How gate's Peers- la ion -Christiancy Divorce Suit. Associated Press Dispatch to the Moraine Sews, Washington, August 21. Sometime since General I laze submitted the names of two sergeants of the signal corps to the secretary of war for promotion to the rank of lieutenant. As some doubt existed regarding the status of the signal corps as a co-ordinate branch of the army Gen. Sherman being disposed to regard this service as more civil than military the matter was referred to the attorney general, who, it is.

has decided in favor of General Hazen, conceding to the officers of the signal corps an army status under tl law. SUSPENDED FOB DRUNKENNESS- The sentence of the court martial recently held at Mare Island, suspending Master W. F. Halsey, U.S. Navy, from duty for six months on furlough pay, and to be reprimanded in general orders by the Secretary of the avy, has been approved by the secretary who says in a general order just issued ''Master Halsey had volunteered as an officer on the Kodgers.

The voyage of that vessel attracted unusual attention in pur country and The hardships and perils of the adventure were widely known. They kindled in the public mind a strong sympathy in behalf of the officers and men whose' hardy courage prompted them to volunteer to undertake it. The ship's departure had been delayed by the non-arrival, of her stores. There, was much impatience at the delay. The stores at length arrived, but a second cause delay then arose This was the unfitness of Master Halsey to perform his dnties.TAt such a moment, when the eyes of the world were turned toward the.

ship, the court martial has found that the cause of this delay was In the inability of Master ITalsey to perform his duty from the excessive indulgence in intoxicating I do not desire to add to the remorse and shame he is now suffering from. Let him take warning from the past, and not be led into temptation in the future. His past career in the service has been highly creditable to him. Let him congratulate himself the graciousness of the court martial that tried him, an opportunity is now before him to justify this leniency. Let him never again forget for a moment what is due by him to his country, his family and FEARFUL OF YELLOW FEVER.

The National ard of Health has issued the following notice to quarantine officers throughout the United States: "Reliable information has been received at this office that vessels on which cases of yellow fever have recently occurred, are constantly leaving the port of Havana and other infected ports for ports In the United States without the bill of health required by the statute and regulations of this board. All our Southern ports, especially, are greatly exposed in consequence of this failure to comply with the law, and quarantine and other health officers are urgently requested to exercise the utmost vigilance in regard to vessels from alt ports within the yellow fever region. It is known, smallpox exists in epidemic form at many of the ports now infected with yellow fever, and to guard the people against the possible ravages of one or both of these dread diseases will require the most careful and determined efforts of health and quarantine officers in each of our Southern port3. All vessels, therefore, from ports liable to infectious or contagious diseases, especially those in which yellow fever prevails, or Is likely to occur, should be subjected to the most rigid examination, and be regarded as suspected vessels, unless, provided with the bill of health, showing a strict compliance ith all the requirements of our law. No vessel should be allowed to discharge its cargo until every precaution has been taken to prevent the introduction of contagious or infectious diseases into the United States." THE CHRISTIANCY DIVORCE.

In the Christiancy divorce suit to-day, before Examiner Lov joy, the drugglRt and specialist, Ambrose Folliott, was cross-examined by the complainant's counsel, but nothing important was developed. He admitted that he had been approached by parties on several occasions and ottered money to produce abortions, but declined to do so. He admitted that he was indicted on a charge of this kind in which the young lady died, but showed that the Indictment was nolle prossed against him. A Steamship Line.

Rehoboth Beach, August 24. Tbi3 i3 my tilth visit to Rehoboth, and I find it this time decidedly more pleasant than ever before, and the improvements that have been made during the last year are noticeabla on every hand. A very complete board walk has been constructed along the beach the entire length of the grounds, and many new and prepossessing cottages have been erected. The Bright House is full and running there are several who have had to seek refuge elsewhere, being crowded out. Mr.

Burton is having a successful season, and is accordingly happy. Many guests hail from Washington, and Wilmington can "boast as many as at any time during the association's existence. The third" annual gathering of the State Teachers Association met in Scott chapel on Monday evening. After music a nnartpt.te. eonatetinsr of C.

B. Dr. II. Ogle, Miss Virginia and Miss Addie Conner, prayer was ottered by Rev. J.

M. Williams, and then Prof. S. T. Ford read Uncle Daniel's Steamboat Experience." The Prof.

W. A. Reynolds followed with a well-timed earnest address, taking forhis Five minute speeches were made by ur. H. Pornell and Prof.

R. II. Skinner. On Tuesday morning the second session convened at 9 o'clock. The Committee on Improved Methods of Instruction re ported through Superintendent irroves.

Assistant Superintendent Carpenter aiso read a report as a member of the same committee, and the discussion following was participated in by Rev. J. M. William? and Prof. D.

W. Harlan. At 2 o'clock a paper on "Shakespeare" was read by C. S. Conwell, a professor of languages in the Conference Academy.

It was a brilliant effort and showed careful preparation and deserved the high meed of praise passed upon it by all present. Some interesting remarks on the same subject followed by Prof. W. A. Reynolds aud Dr.

W. H. Purnell. In the evening the exercises opened with prayer and music as usual, and then Prof. S.

T. Ford read "Artenius Ward's Lecture" and "The Story of Connor" most interestingly. A lecture fol-lowert-by Rev. W. B.

Gordon, of Smyrna, on "The Cultivation of the Beautiful." The lecture was rather brief, but the subject was handled in an entertaining way, neing a plea for the cultivation of the beautiful things in life, rather than the absorption of all the energies in the pursuit of riche3 and worldly things. This morning the main feature was a paper by Prof. S. J. Willey, of Wilmington, on the "Fourth Profession." He contended for the school master a place alongside of and equal in importance to that of the professions of theology, law, and medicine, and made many excellent suggestions a3 to the advancement of the teacher's interests and the progress of the schools.

Some discupsiou followed, participated in by Rev. J. M. R. II.

Skinner. Prof. W. A. Reynolds, Dr.

W. II. -Purnell, and Mr. Reid, of Milford. Thus far the proceedings of the meetings have been most interesting, and the dittdrent sessions draw together quite large audiences.

The Rehoboth Associa tion has kindly placed at the disposal ol the teachers Scott's chapel, in which all of the meetings are held. It is very much better adapted for the meetings than the parlors of the hotels, which would necessarily be crowded, and subject the audience to many interruptions. The music bv the Trinity choir, under the leadership of Professor Rhoads, so well known in your city, is thoroughly enjoyed by all, and add a decidedly attractive feature to the meetings. Almost all of the leading educators of the State are among the 100 teachers present, nearly every locality of the State i3; represented. The papers thus far read have shown careful preparation and deep thought, and the discussions following have proved highly entertaining and beneficial.

A committee to nominate officers was appointed on Wednesday morning, consisting of McKendra Downham, James II. George and D. W. Harlan, and a committee to name a place for the next meeting, cot.sisting of J. H.

Groves, II. Carpenter and J. M. Williams. It looks now as though the association would conclude its meetings on Friday at noon, so as to allow those desiring to do so, to leave here on that day.

The programme as arranged by the committee would ex tend over until Saturday, but there are some absentees. RICHMOND'S WATER FAMINE. Water at Five Cents a Bucket Fears of a Fire Occurring. From the Baltimore American. Richmond, August 23.

The excitement in relation to the failing of the ater supply continues to increase. The sewers are emitting a horrible stench, which Is apparent in all parts cf the city. Busy scenes are witnessed at the springs, where policemen are stationed to quell fights among the people in their rusti for water. Enterprising negroes are carting the water about the city and selling it at five cents per bucket. The apprehensions of fire are very great.

The chairmaa-of the fire. committee requests all citizens to enroll at the engine huoses as volunteer firemen, and the department has been supplied with axes. To-day the Council committee on water, accompanied by experts and the mayor, made a tour to the pumphonse and inspected the river, ith a view to ascertain whether any relief was possible. They fouud the river so uaprecedentedly low that they could walk all the way across, stepping from rock to rock. The committee reached the conclusion that the desperate and only resource was that the water must be turned from the canal into the pump works.

This will cut oft the supply received by the Tredegar works, the Galiego flour mill and other large manufacturing establishments, and cause them to stop. Tbe committee sent a communication to these establishments, asking them to agree to let the water be turned off in the canal three days in the week during the emergency. They ask until to-morrow to reply.

Since the above was put in type it has been learned that the scene of the fire was the large dwelling houe of William, DuPont, on Green nill, which was totally destroyed, though all its contents were saved.
