BANDS AT LoeeERHEADs.

The First Regiment and Hyatt's Military
Bands Quarrel About Attending a
Funeral.
The First Regiment and Hyatt's
Military Bands are at loggerheads and
each leader is saying bitter things about
the other band. The bands never have
had the most kindly feelings toward
each other but yesterday tine breach was
reopened and made wider. Both bands
expected to turn out at Joseph Stoeckle's
funeral but only one did
Leader Frank Beggs. of Hyatt's Band,
made the following statement this morn.
ing He said: 1T has always been the
custom for the musicians at large to turn
out whenever a musician died Hyatt's
Band was invited, as individuals, by Mr.
Higgins, of the First Regiment Band,
through August Hnmmell, also mem.
Der of the band, and by Frank SEWER,
for Mr.. Stoeckle's family When we
went to Sixth and Shipley streets to
report TO whoever might have
charge Of the band at large / was in
formed that If any members of Hyatt's
Band turned out, the First Regiment
would not. Our members took this as
gross insult and returned to our room,
took off our uniforms and packed our
instruments away. Some people are
inquiring why we did not turn out, and
give this statement to set ourselves
right before the public"
Leader Wallsmith, of the First Regi-
ment, gives his side Of the story as fol
lows: 81 had not the slightest objection
to Hyatt's Band turning out yesterday
as Hystt's Band, but did not want them
or would not have them playing as a
part of our band That is the only
reason l objected The man that is said
TO have invited Hyatts Band is not a
member of the First Regiment This is
all there is about the matter, and II
Hyatt's Band wanted to attend the
funeral why did they not do 50 as 8
separate band, the same as we did2'

A MARES OBSTINACY.

1t Saved the Life Of Daniel Haggarty. the
Cycle OF Events to the Contrary Not
withstandinK.
Daniel Haggarty, son-in-lsw of Ed
ward Gallagher, the unfortunate man
who was blown to atoms by the explosion
of a grinding mill in Hagley powder
yards on the Brandywine, on Tuesday,
owes his life to he obstinacy Of mare,
which was used TO draw small cars from
one mill to another.
In the process of manufacturing
powder passes from the composition
room to rolling mill, press room, grind
ing or granting mill. glazing mill, pack
ing house and magazine.
Haggarty and Gallagher worked
together In the grinding mill. Shortly
before the explosion 'press" Of
powder had been run through the mill
and loaded on r to which the mare
was attached for the purpose of hauling
1t to the glazing mill The animal was
usually quite willing to do its work. but
on this occasion 1t refused TO pull the
car. hauling it a short distance aud let
ting it run back on the inclined road
bed
Back of this car was hand.car, upon
which Haggarty had loaded powder dust
to take to another part Of the yard
The Obstinacy of the mare kept him
there several minutes longer than he
would otherwise have been, and when
she pulled the car out he followed with
the hand car and was going back to the
gri0ding mill, pushing the empty car,
when the explosion took place. II the

Haggarty would Just have had time to
push the car load Of dust to its destina
tion, unload it and return to the mill iu
which Gallagher met his death. He has
now q very warm spot in his heart for
equine obstinacy.
This recalls to mind an incident not
published heretofore, connected with the
great explosion there in 1890. when six
persons were instantly killed, many in.
iured, and much valuable property de
stroyed. On the day of the explosion
John Deerey and Frank Kelley, two EN-
ployes, were having red hot argument
concerning Senator Donahoe's position
on the peddler's license bill passed at the
previous session of the General Assembly
Both men were small politicians in their
way and had glib tongues which

Deerey left Kelley master of the
field and started into the mill When hs
reached the mill door he thought Of q
strong point to which he had forgotten
to call Kelley's attention. &c turned

ment when the mill in which he worked
was hurled skywRrd and the dismem

To sum up his achievements in n few

of illumination without wires or globes,

This light ne can vary to order, and
although ne has not been able to bring IL
to what may be termed Il commercial

In every possible direction.
He was invited to visit London and
explain his experiments on the very

The moment his fingers grasped his
long glass tubes they glowed with a
softened splcndor. and when he waved
them over his head they CLEANED with a
radiance which was described by weird
