THE FIRST REGIMENT

Sidering the Matter of Where the En-
campmont will bo Held.
Special Di,pateh to @e IatcuiOaer.
GRAFTON, w. VA, March 2s.-Tht
committee Of arrangements of the First
Regiment met at the Central Hotel to-
day. Present, Col. R. II. Freer, Lieu
tenant Colonel @. L. Smith, Major A.
G. Roger, Captains W. B. Sine, A. H
Fleming, @. D. Robinson, Lieutenant
@. L. Hagan, sergeants Watson and
Deyeny. This committee decided to 60
into encampment at either Parkersburg,
Wheeling, Grafton or Huntington, and
Captain Sine was appointed committee
toconferw ith the Mayors Of the respective
places in order to ascertain the most ad-
vantageous point for the encampment,
the date OF which was fixed for the first
Tuesday in August. A meeting of the
committee and officers OF the regiment
will be called Immediately after April
20 to decide upon the place Of encamp-
ment and elect the Junior Major of the
regiment. -,
The First Regiment is in splendid
condition, and both officers and men are
full OF enthusiasm and determined TO
make the first annual encampment an
honor to themselves and to the State.
Reports from the various companies sub.
mitted by Col. Freer, show an increased
interest and great progress in drill, dis
cipline and efficiency. The companies
composing the regiment are the pioneers
OF the present military movement in this
State and propose to make their organiza.
ton one OF the prominent institutions OF
West Virginia.
Alone, and almost unaided, they have
built up an organization that would be a
credit to any State in the Union. The
intended encampment Of this regiment
is being sought after by all the large
towns Of the State, but from assurances
received, the committee confines the con-
test to the four cities mentioned. From
intimations, however, from members Of
the committee it is probable that Park
ersburg or Grafton are ahead in the
race, with Huntington good third, and
this arises from the fact that these cities,
unaccustomed to large military displays,
seem determined to secure the encamp-
ment at all hazards.
sThe Governor and staff will be present
at the encampment and will use their
personal efforts to make the affair a gilt
tering success. Grafton will take imme-
diate steps to put its propositions in
proper shape and will bid high for the
encampment.

BERLIN, March 2S.-Forty thousand
people have been rendered homeless by
the floods, hundreds of villages have
been submerged and forty towns and
hamlets have completely disappeared.
The Elbe, Nogat, Vistula and Ocer rivers
cover a hundred miles wide in many dis
tricts and an enormous amount Of dam
age has been done to property. 1t is inn
possible to estimate the number of lives
lost, but it will reach large proportions.
While trying to break an ice gorge on
the Elbe by blasting, fourteen soldiers
were killed. The Wiser, tributary of
the Vistula, has overlowed its banks
near the Russian frontier, submerging
the city OF Posen. The waters are still
rising, and the entire district is flooded.
The whole district OF Bodrog, in North
Hungary, is isinundated. the river having
swept away twenty villages. The dis
trict OF Fehrgyarmal is heap Of ruins.
The distress all over Germany is very
great, and the newspapers suggest
granting OF State aid to the sufferers.

States Supreme Court in the suit brought
by Attorney General Bradford to test
the prohibitory law Of Kansas, have

They claim that Zeibold & Hagelin
have the right to manufacture beer in
this State for export and sale in other
States and Territories. "To make the
order asked for would result in the abso-
Lutte bankruptcy and ruin of Ziebold &
Hagelin, we think we are entitled to

has never reversed the lower courts

tains that Ziebold & Hagelin have no

A Chicago, Judge Announces thnt He VIII
Turn Over New Leaf.
CHICAGO, March 2s.-The announce
ment was made to-day by Judge Collins
that hereafter he, for one, will have no
more Saturday divorce trials. The Judge
said that from now on he would hear
divorce cases ON the other five working
days OF the week at the rate Of two or
three a day. In giving his reasons for
thus changing in his court q custom
which has been in vogue from time i'm
memorable, Judge Collins said he was
tired OF being the ringmaster in circus.
"0n Saturday." said he, ''there is a
class OF undesirable spectators who have
nothing TO do but come here and listen
to the nasty details Of divorce suits. II
the cases are tried on other days these
people will be avoided, since Saturday
Is sort Of an ofF.day. Then another
season is that the Sunday newspapers,
which are larger than during the week,
make q great spread on cases
heard on Saturday, and carry the
disgraceful stories OF domestic infelicity
into Sabbath homes 10 mar the sacred
character OF the day. II the suits are
heard In small batches during the week,
there will not be such extended ac-
counts OF them, which serve no pur-
pose except to give Chicago q bad repu-
ton throughout the world" 1t Is
likely the other Judges will take simi-
lar action. ....
