appearance of a permanent abiding place
for the 500 or 600 men who occupy 1t. The
scenes this morning were repetition of
those of the last three or four days. Gangs
of men were hard at work improving the
appearance of the ground, and the discipline
that had almost disappeared when the army
reached Brightwood was again restored, so
that there Is d regular routine of camp life
which appears to satisfy the commonweal-

leather-coated marshal, lit will only ac-

William Brady and wife were in their
cabin, which was blown down, killing
the woman instantly. Her husband was
blown several hundred feet and received
