DEADLY

John COmnita Knocked Senseless
Tuesday Night by q Mahogany
CIub in the Hands of an UnknOw n
AssaiIant.

John Comaita was going from the rear

blows on the head with q large mahogany
club. When the first blow was struck
Comaita cried out, but before assistance
came he was struck again and knocked
senseless. The man who made the deadly
assault was seen disappearing in the dark
ness by q woman, who was the first to come
upon the scene, but she was unable to
recognize him. Comaita had been treat
ing in the saloon. but was by no means
intoxicated at the time. and il is believed
that when he recovers-if he recovers at
all-he will be able to name his assailant.
The injured man received two severe
outs on the head, one on the forehead over
the left eye, the other on the back OF the
head. He rested quietly yesterday morn

to have a supper to be psrtaksn Of only
oy members Of the encampmspt. This
date il fixed upon az the anniversary of
General Sheridsn's famous ride. Each
year the ranks are growing thinner, and
one by one the veterans depart, 90 that
doubtless when even the frat yesr has
rolled by, there will be one or more va
cant chairs and unturnsd plates. At
each of these anniversary suppers covsrs
are to be spread for the deceased men,
beers, and as the years 60 by, the num-
Der OF surviving members growing less
and less, not many anniversaries hence,
the occasion will be one of peculiar and
sad interest. The festivities attending
an ordinary supper cannot but have
tinge of sadness under such q peculiar
arrangement, but each year will make
the gathering of those left sacred and
tenGsr tie to join the living to each other
and to the memory of the departed be-
roes. Last evening the supper was in
stitutej. The table was spread in the
Grand Army hail, which was plsasingly
decorated. The supper was really
banquet, with the absence Of wine. On
taking their seats the veterans Joined in
d song, and between the courses brief
speeches were made. The occasion was
a happy one, but the thought could not
be altogether chased away that at the
future gatherings the number Of
unturned plates would be greater and
greater and the surviving par
takers less and less, until the Last
chair should be left vacant.
