MUSIC BY THE BAND.
An Incident Similar to that at ApIa.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The incident
of the band on the flagship Trenton playing
THE Star Spangled Banner" during the great
storm at Apa some time ago reminds me of a
brass band doing very good service one day
during the rebellion. As all know, after Grant
crossed the Rappahannock i'll May, 1864, and
had two or three days hard fighting in the
Wilderness, the Union army was moved by the
left flank towards Spottsylyania Courthouse
The troops were very much exhausted The
musketry fighting in the dense woods had been
heavy and incessant for couple of DAYS and
men had little rest food or sleep. The third
night, when they expected to have an all
nights Sleep the order came along the line of
the Pennsylvania Reserves to "fall inn and
they took the advance ofa column that marched
all night and till about noon the next dav
along a harrow road in the dense woods of the
Wilderness toward Spottsylvania Courthouse
Very many men fell exhausted by the iyayside
or were unable to keep up with their COM
mands. They even went to sleep marching in
ranks The regiments were consequently greatly
depleted when, about noon, as my memory
serves, sharp skirmsh firing was heard short
distance ahead. The column was on the alert
instantly, the line kept closing up to the adj
vance, quicker step was taken, Aids dashed
back along the column or in the edge of the
woods, urging up all hands, and the boys as
usual under such circumstances adjusted their
nouseholu soous aoouV tueil PeIsohs, hllched
their cartridge and cap boxes into position, and
took a nibble at their hardtack as they hurried
on. Presently the head of the column de-
| bouched from the Wilderness into the open
country. Then the cause of the firing became
apparent. The cavalry had been holding this
vantage point for the infantry. But the enemy,
appriscd of its Importance, had come for them
with infantry, and the skirmishers of the light
body of cavalry had held them at bay as long
as possible and were stubbornly but steadily
falling back to the timber when the head of
our infantry column gained the open. There
were strong lines of Confederates in sight and
their skirmshers were advancing briskly. The
exit of that road from the Wilderness must be
held at all hazards to allow the column follow
ing to gain open ground and form, and there
was not moment to be lost in charging and
gaining the threatening position held by the
enemy. A few regiments Of the Reserves

Losses of Connecticut Regiments.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your last
Issue it is stated that +" the 18th Conn. lost the
most in battle of any regiment from Connecti-
cut" the total loss being given as 205.
The writer is in error, and should have
qualified his statement by saying of any other
iafqntry regiment. The losses of the ID Conn.
II. A. KILLED in aetion) were 254 of which 129
were killed at Cold Harbor alone.
This statement is authentic, as will be seen
by referring to the Century for May, 1888, or to
"Fox's Regimental Losses in the Civil War"
1t should be borne in mind that the losses of
the Cd Conn. II. A. were all sustained in less
than one year.-A. G. BLISS Washington, d. c.
I'VE presume that our first correspondent
intended to say the largest proportionate
loss" Comrade Bliss is right in saying that
the I'd Conn. II. A. had the largest loss. But
the 14th Conn lost larger proportion of its
total enrolment. 1t had 205 killed out of a
total of 1 ,724 names on its ter-rolls or II 8
per cent, while the I'd Conn. H. A. lost 254
killed out of a total enrolment of 2,506, or 10.1
per cent. Thus the 14th's loss was II per
cent. greater proportionately than the heavy
rtillery's.-EDIToRa NATIONAL TRIBUNE.l

formed as they came into the field by brigade
front. The veriest skeleton of line it was,
but it was every moment gaining strength
from the boys who had whipped ahead when
they heard the firing. It seemed like very
forlorn hope, indeed, for that thin line, looking
like color-guards grouped on either side their
flags, and aggregating but a few hundred, to
make a successful charge on the advancing and
strong force of Confederates in front. The
cavalry had formed in our rear or taken shelter
in the woods. If the enemy could capture our
position, section Of artillery would halt the
column in the Wilderness Field officers dashed
along shouting orders, and the supreme moment
was on, when, noticed by but few, from our
flank and rear dozen horsepen emerged on a
gallop from the woods and reined up in rear of
our line, and forth from their brass instruments
pealed out the inspiring strains of Hail Co
lumbia." To use homely phrase, sit set the
boys on fire. 1t was as good as a reinforce
ment of a thousand men. No orders were re-
quired The boys took one glance at the band
to assure themselves it was of this world, gave
a rousing round of cheers, brought their guns
to a right shoulder shift, as it was called in
those days, and went for those Johnnies at a
double-quick. At a hundred yards they halted
an instant to give them a few yolleys, and then
on they went. driving the enemy pell-mell until
the coveted position was gained. This was the
first brush at Spottsylvania Courthouse, where
it was hot and heavy for the next few days.
Not little of the credit for that splendid
charge is due to that cavalry band and the in
spiraton of Hail Columbia" 1t was almost
as exceptional an occurrence as that at Apia,
but in all that has been written of the war l
have never seen it mentioned Even at this
day, doubtless, it would be interesting to many
survivors of the Pa. Reserves to know to what
cavalry band they were indebted for that
unique observation-disclosures III. MILLS, Co.

Geo. A. Smith, Whipple, o., was a prisoner

thorities never made the slightest effort to
keep order in that place. All their energies
were concentrated in preventing the escape of
the starving wretches under their control.
Consequently, in July, 1864, a force was organ
lied to suppress crime, and many disturbers of
the peace were executed.

THERE is a marked demand ia this
community that the people who obtained
great concessions, on the East Side, on
the proposition that they were going to
build levees, and railway connection
with Salt Lake, should either do some
thing, say something or hand in their
unjustly acquired privileges. The inter-
esting personality of one Colonel Marble
has not been obtruded upon the vision
of our people for some time past. What
has become of the Colonel" and his
powerful syndicates Have he and they
dissolved into thin air? By the way,
our esteemed fellow citizen, ex-Mayor
Bryson, was supposed to have been sat.
isied that there was something more
than jaw-bone in Colonel Marbles pro-
fessione, and to have based his official
action on that belief. Will the ex.Mayor
kindly enlighten his fellow citizens in
that regard? The HERALD stood in with
the proposition originally on the idea
that Colonel Marble and his associates
meant business and not brag.

SUGAR PLANT BURNED.
Fire Caused by an Expl0stOn-IO ss
About $4,000. 900.

New YORK, September IA very dis
astrous fire broke out about l 80 O'Clock
this afternoon in the mammoth sugar
plant of Dick Meyer & Co., on North
Seventh and North Eighth streets, Will
Hamburg. The fire started with an ex-
plosion, the cause of which is not known.
1t is supposed to have been caused by an
explosion in the nature OF finely pow
dered particles of sugar which had per.
meated the air-mills where the granu-
lated sugar was.reduced to the powdered
product. There were three mills at work
reducing graduated sugar to powder.
The entire establishment, which con-
sisted of collection of buildings
eight stories in height, extending about
400feet on North Seventh street, 800 feet
on North Eighth street and 25O feet along
the dock was reduced to mass of ruins.
1t was filed with very valuable machin-
cry, and the loss on buildings and
machinery is estimated at about
81, 10000 Within the building was a
quantity of sugar valued at about half a
million dollars, making total loss OF
about two million dollars. There were a
lumber of men injured by the explosion
or burned by the fire. Their names are
not yet obtainable.
LATER-Martin Schmidt was burned
about the face; George Swellan had an
arm fractured, and three other men were
slightly injured.

QUACKERY.
How 1t Thrives Where Genuine

How 1t Thrives Where Genuine
Medical Science Would Starve.
Quackery is irrepressible, and even in
those countries where the laws are most
stringent, they cannot put it down. They
recently had in Paris case showing
this. Complaint was made against q
person "for illegally exercising the pro-
fession of medicine" He was brought
before the Justice. The prosecuting Of
ficer presented the case against him in
the form of question: popularity of
French procedure. He said: Your con-
sulting room is filed with patients, and
you injure the real doctors of the neigh
borhood. You have more practice than
all the others together. Your treat
ment resembles that of charlatans.
You prescribe ointments and pow
ders that perhaps do no harm,
and YOU charge highly for them. What
do you say to this?" The prisoner adj.
mitted that it was true, and then passed
up his diploma, showing that he was a
regularly qualified doctor of medicine.
This startled the Judge out Of his legal
formalities into plaiL question, and he
said: "Why. then, do you act in way
to expose yourself to legal proceedings ?'
And the man explained that as plain
doctor he could not make living, while
as monger of marvellous remedies he
was making fortune. He could thrive
by quackery that played upon popular
superstitions, but he would now be in
jured by the knowledge that he was
only an ordinary regular doctor, like
the others."-[Chicago Times.

THE time is close at hand when the
same men who have Justly deprecated
the absurd paper town craze, which for
time took hold of Los Angeles county,
will wonder that they failed to rush in
and pick up the bargains that have laid
around on every side within the last six
months. Lands, whose actual produc-
tive value ranges from fifty to two hun
dred and fifty dollars an acre yearly,
have been hard Of sale at the figures
named, Notwithstanding the fact that
securities only carrying five per cent.
and lower per annum command q
premium in the money markets of the
United States. This last has been as
much OF craze as the former, and the
signs multiply that it is coming to ar
end. A boom founded on unnaturally
depressed values will be the next
development in Los Angeles county.

THE Democratic member of the Los
Angeles Board of Education, Colonel
Michael Whaling, may not be as elo-
quent as the famous Quint;llian, nor as
polished in his periods as the celebrated
Professor Blair, and his claims to men,
bership in the College of the Sorbonne
might be doubted, but he occasionally
gets in his work good and strong. He
did this when he introduced resolution
into the Board in which he recapitulated
the facts that it was not public-spirited
or expedient that one individual, a
member of the Board, should be at
one time Chairman of the FL
nance Committee and Clerk of
the Board. The business of the Clerk
is, in truth, to check off bills which the
Chairman of the Finance Committee
might have contracted. The attempt to
create sort Of municipal Board OF Edu-
cation Poo Bah in Los Angeles will re-
suit in disastrous failure. Whaling and
his resolutions are all right. The man
who officiates as Chairman of the School
Board ought not to be the Clerk of that
body, nor ought the Clerk of that body
to be the Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee. This is municipal scandal that
should be Immediately abrogated.

A SOMEWHAT notable circumstance Of
the fiscal condition of Los Angeles il
that there are fifteen Commercial and
five Savings Banks in this city. As our
extreme claim for population is ninety
thousand people-the true figure being
probably seventy.five thoussnd-this is a
highly interesting development. We
doubt very much whether such an ex-
hibit can be made in commensurate lines
of population anywhere else in the Uni.
ted States. Quite a number of these
financial enterprises have been organized
during what is generally recognized as
a period of extreme depression in the

RIVAL RAILROADS.
The Canadian and the Northern
Pacific Fighting fer Territory.

ST. PAUL, September IA Pioneer
Press special from Duluth says some new
and important information has been OBJ.
tanned there in regard to the movements
of the Canadian Pacific railroad in the
Northwest. 1t marks a new step in their
contest with the Northern Pacific. The
Northern Pacific is heading through
Montana and the Northwest Territory,
Of which line one or two hundred miles
are built from Winnipeg, for the Sas.
katchewan river, and it is expected to
reach there next year. The Canadian
Pacific will take immediate steps to head
it off, and has let contract which is not
yet made public to build about 700 miles
of new road. 1t will build this fall from
Regina to Prince Albert, on the Sas-
katchewan river, to which place the
Northern Pacific is also headed, under
q charter lately granted to the Regina and
Long Lake Railway Company. Next
spring the line will be extended from
Prince Albert westward through Edmon.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, which spends SO much printers
ink about things that are in no sense
sensations, and which are really mostly
adapted salacious stories taken from
Eastern newspapers, pieced out with
local names, and which are served up as
Los Angeles news, must be very much
mortified at the "scoop" of both the
HERALD and the Tribune, on the Morales
episode, which was the topic of CONVEX
sation on the streets yesterday. The
modification begotten of this gross fail
ure to be up to the times in news yester-
day morning was undoubtedly greatly
intensified by the tremendous double
''scoop" of the HERALD on both
the Times and Tribune of the
day before, in which we gave the
remarkable and true account of the Mas
carel Ghost conspiracy and the account
from the New York Herald's London
edition of the successful victimizing of a
lot of confiding English shareholders in
the sale of the Sunny Slope vineyard
The Times would have given its liver and
it's lights for any one of these three car.
dinsl sensations, in which the HERALD
has approved itself to be, par excellence
the most intelligent and enterprising pur'
veyor of news of any newspaper in thit
section, as it always does in the Ions
run. In the light of such honest tri
umphs of genuine journalism, how poo
and pitiful appears the labored travesty
of real life and movement involved in thu
cooked-up narratives of our contempor
airy, which are at best but funeral baket
meats that but coldly furnish forth th,
rejection looked for by an intelligent ant
news hungry public.
