April 4.—The army court , of inquiry to-day hoard l)r. Wtu. H. , l>;il\ in regard to the character of beef furnished for the army during the late ] war. Dr. Daly s testimony dealt on this oe- ! < asion. as oil his first appearance, espe cially with the beef supplied to the army, llis first observation had been made on a transport at Tampa Itefore the sailing of the expedition to Santiago, where t'olonel Wroton invited his atteii ii.>n to a quarter of beef hanging on the deck. Colonel Weston's only remark wa> "Here's a quarter of la-es which has l ei n hanging here for sixty hours in the -un: we are going to see wlmt it will do." No reference was made to preser va t ives. He. (Mr. Daly cut off a piece of the beef and rooked and ate it the next day. ' After that he became sick at the stom ach, but he had not felt convinced that the meat caused the sickness. After some references to his stay in Porto Rico l)r. Daly detailed the parti culars of the trip north on the trans port Panama last September, which was in his charge. The vessel had been pro- i ruled on setting out with the best ob tainable refrigerator beef, but the vessel had not gone far before it liecame evi dent that it was not good. He did all that he could to quiet the complaints, but they increased, and the stench soon grew so strong that it per vaded the ii hole ship. The odor was indescribable. He at last suggested a board of survey, and one being ordered it had condemned the meat left, about 1,500 pounds, and lie had had 1t thrown overboard. Here Dr. Daly took occasion to pay bis respects to the war commission before which he hud appeared. He said the commission had given out the impression that the deterioration of the beef on the Panama was due to want of ice This was contrary to his testimony, anil the truth could easily have been ascertained. As a matter of fact the Panama had an excellent refrigerator, and it car ried 10 tons of ice to one of beef. Dr. Daly said he had since made ox poriinents upon beef subjected to treat ment by boric acid, and had found it to give forth about as foul a smell as could well be imagined. i Major Lee then read various reports made by Mr. Daly concerning official inspections of the beef at the camps at Jacksonville, Lexington, Chicknmauga. All these stated that the meat used gen erally looked well, but that there was a universal complaint of its smelling badly. He had found the fresh beef to j be apparently preserved by the injection of some chemical which destroyed its I natural flavor, and which must of neces sity have been injurious to the health of those eating it. It was to his mind im possible to preserve meat without the use of aciils, and apparently the meat had been preserved “by the injection of chemicals to aid the work of defective cold storage.” In one case hi- had found the odor similar to that of a dead hu man body and in another, speaking of the odor, lie said: “It was unnatural, mawkish, sickly, like that of a human cadaver after an undertaker had inject ed his embalming preservative.” He was satisfied that the beef had been chemically prepared—that if lmd been embalmed in fact. After his re ports had gone in he iiad, in order to satisfy his own mind, made a chemical analysis of a residium from the beef used on the transport Panama and bad found distinct evidence of the presence of boric ami salycilic add. He then refer red again to the report of the war com mission, iu which reference had been made to the use of these drugs, the inti mation being that a trace of them would not he injurious. Replying, Dr. Daly assorted that the chemicals were detrimental to health, and they could only be used at the i>eril of those taking them. Here Dr. Daly introduced a joint re port made by Dr. Clark, chief chemist, and Dr. Hilderhrundt, chemist of the Geological Survey on ant analysis made by them of residium from the beef used on the Panama. Iu this report they said they had exam ined the powder furnished by Dr. Daly. “Both the flame test and the turmeric paper test give dislinct evidence of the presence of boric acid,” they sail: “We also obtained good reactions with ferri« chloride showing the p| react we of salycilic acid.” In response to a general question. Dr. Daly said he had come inio much in formation confirmatory of wiiat lie had testified to, out which had come to him in a coutide'irial way, rend ‘ring it im proper for ti'iu to give the names ct those supplying it. In truth a ban had lveen plae-d upon ‘he information. He thought that some 40 or 50 |i>-. am- lino spoken to him in eorroboraßon of what he had said. 4 best were ih* proprie tors of slaughtering houses aim the man ufacturers of chemicals. He said a Per some questiotimg that lie would ascertain whether he could give the names of these people to the court. After Dr. Daly had completed his tes timony Major Lee submitted a written CASTOR IA the Kind You Hue Always Bought. request from General Miles for the ad mission of the official reports of 1 *7 men representing -<> regiments as testimony, It was stated that these reports all bore upon the question of the character of beef supplied to the army and were per tinent to the inquiry. It was also stated by Major Lee that General Miles had at yesterday's si salon of the court sub mitted the nano's of 123 officers and en listed men w hom be desired to have the court summon as witnesses, giving n! the same Mine a synopsis of their testi mony and lie asked to have the two re quests passed upon. Neither of General Miles’ requests were notul it|>on. Major Lee also .presented, hut did not read, a letter from Armour nntd Com pany. apropos of tile process for the preservation of beef by artificial means. It is understood that it will be held un til Mr. Dowell appears to give his testi mony. which will probably he within a 1 few days. Dr. Edwin I. N'ieodomus. of Philadel phia. who served in the capacity of a surgeon in the Dor to Ricnn campaign, testified that both the eannned roast l»i es and the refrigerated beef were very unsatisfactory. He had returned to the United States on the transport Mississ ippi and found the refrigerated meat very uiiswtisfaetor.v. It was, he said, suggestive of a dissecting room, the odor biing characteristic of an embalmed body. The beef had a sweetish acid taste, and some of the men after eating it had manifested symptoms of ptomaine poisoning. He inferred that the bes had undergone chemical treatment be cause the taste and smell were different from tin normal taste and smell of meat. Dr. \V. S. DoYoe. of Chicago, was recalled. He is an inspector of the Ag ricultural-Department and In 1 SIM made an inspection of the packing houses of Chicago on complaints mid had made a report to the department. This how ever. could not be found and Dr. DeYoe was asked to give the best information he could. He proved a very unwilling witness saying that he saw no rtasonj why statements concerning facts of four or five years ago should be brought out here to the detriment of the business of a firm which lmd since, so far as lie knew, obeyed the law. The court insis ted. however, and he said that the firm of Nelson Morris and Company was the one which had been especially investiga ted. The testimony had been given mostly by disgruntled employes mid was to the effect that the carcasses of cattle had been taken from the tanks and plan'll on th ■ local market. The find ings had not been conclusive. I»r. DeVoe said he had at the time been reasonably well satisfied that tin law had not been complied with and that hi had reported to the department that there was foundation for the com plaint. During the day the hoard sent a reply to General Miles, saving it would take the mattter of his proposition to supply more witnesses under consideration, but iptlmating that tin 'board did not require further testimony relating to the canned roast beef. General Miles had sent another letter in answer to this in which he calls atten tion to the litter he wrote early in the proceedings of the board, saying that the inquiry was not only of great im portance. involving the health and life of the army, but that the honor of the service was at stake. He adds that 2.*».- 000 men and no doubt many more could give evidence substantiating the asser tion that the meat was unfit to eat. and lie expresssed the hope that out of this number 131 whose nanu s he had submit ted would be allowed to testify. Gene ral Miles suggested that men who had evidence to give might answer a set of inti rrogatories prepared by the hoard, if if was found inqirai-tica'ble to hear them orally.

Snow began to fall here yesterday morning at 4 o’clock and did not cease until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. In that time over two inches of “the b aiitiful” came down. It was never anything like two inches deep, though, for it melted as it fell. Only on tries ami fences and house-tops did it linger— anil on grassy towns. This is th heaviest April snow since the weather bureau was established here, thirteen years ago. In fact there has been only two snows in April. The first was April Ist, 1887. whin 1.7 inches of enow fell and in lSSit on April (!, there was a fall of 4 inches. About twenty years ago there was a snow on April 17. tlie latest snow remembered in this I section.

Over this was a canopy of latticed smilax, clinging vines, and blossoming ] teach tret's. Its luxuriant foliage shut out the daylight, but tiny incandescent lights liiddin in the leaves gave soft and ample illumination. Almost promptly at noon tlie maid of honor. Miss Mary Baldwin Tolfr;e. entered the ball room anil under an aisle arched with roses walked toward the waiting priest. She preceded the bride, Miss Fair. Following her vas her brother-in-law, Mr. Oelriehs. The organ, especially hulk for the purpose, pealed out. The groom was attended by J. D. Kellogg. In the gallery an orchestra of fifty pieces under Emil Paur played the nuptial music from Lohengrin. The ceremony itself was short and immediately upon its conclusion congrat ulations were shown red upon Mr. anil Mrs. Vanderbilt, Jr. There were a few relatives present. Os the Vanderbilts there wort only to kiss the bride, Wil liam K. Vanderbilt, Sr., and young Harold Vanderbilt, brother of the groom. The rest of the family are an mourning or abroad, but though absent, they were well represented in the list of presents, which were numerous and of the costliest description. The wedding party was ushered into tli library and at long tables sat down to a wedding breakfast. When thi> breakfast was over the bride changed into her traveling dress, and the young Vanderbilts drove off in a brand-new brougham, a pres; nt to the groom, to the river. They crossed to the Long Island Railroad depot, and there entered a special car. which bor. them to Mr. Vanderbilt’s country place, lillehour, Oakdale. L. I. Miss Fair’s wedding gown was made in Paris. The foundation was ivory satin, cut with a long train. This ma terial was covered with fine point d'esprit of a creamy tint, corresponding to that of the satin. Instead of point lace, old creatu colored Irish lncc, which is somewhat heavier in texture, was used in appliqued designs all over the gown. Lengthwise insertions trimmed the front of the skirt, the train was l>or dereil with a deep edging, and the upper part of the corsage was entirely of the lace. The sleeve reached barely to the elbow and was partly of lace and point d’esprit. She wore a veil of tulle. “Give me a liver regulator and I can regulate the world,” said a genius.
