The above official report of Colonel
Brabble is short and simple MARIA
tive-plainly but truly told-modest
like himself. and yet it records the
courage and conduct of troops unsur-
passed in the annals of war All of
Daniels brigade was especially com
plimented by General Rodes in his of
fetal report, and General Daniel in his
report was very complimentary of the
32d regiment, highly praising it's
great courage and steadiness." As
more than three-fourths of Rodes' di-
vision were North Carolinians, it will
be gratifying to the State pride of
Carolinians to read now the following
extract from Gen. Rhodes official re-
port:
II cannot. however, close this por-
ton of my report without expressing
my pride and admiration of the CON
duct of the men and officers of this
division from the time it left Grace
Church until our return to Virginia.
Better marching, less struggling,
hardships more cheerfully borne, con
duct in an enemy's country more com
mendable, and more generally marked
by gentlemanly and soldierly charac-
teristics,and, finally, better behavior
in battle, than was exhibited by this
division during that period has not
been, and | believe will never be, ex-
hibited by any other troops in the SER

I claim to have won the expression
from the general commanding the

Miss Sykes Took Charge of the Institu.
tiOn on Monday.
The training school for teachers
opened Monday in the No. 80 building
with twenty-five pupils and with Miss
Sykes, the instructor from Poughkeep-
sic, in charge. Superintendent Phillips
and Controller Wormser were present
at the opening session when the train
ing school scholars and the regular
teachers in the building were formally
introduced to the new instructor. She
will reside at 444 Quincy avenue.
"The present policy of class work. -
said Superintendent Phillips yesterday,
will be continued, especially in the
senior class, inasmuch as only three
months intervenes before graduation.
For this reason it is not considered eX-
pedient to change the line of study es-
tablished by Miss Boice. Several
changes will be inaugurated in the
junior class and new pedagogical
studies will be introduced. Heretofore
pedagogy has only been a reading, but
in future scholars will study and recite
it,

race Last Night.
Palmer Cox, the author of the
Brownies, arrived in the city last night
and was rendered reception at the
Hotel Terrace. Mr.. Cox came here to
personally supervise the production of
the Brownies, which will be seen at the
rockingham the last three days of this
week. Malcolm Douglass, who COM
posed the music for the Brownies, has
been in the city for several days and
was present at the reception given to
Mr.. Cox.
Prior to the reception Mr.. Cox was
serenaded by the Lawrence band at the
hotel. The reception was followed by
banquet. Those present were Palmer

Mr.. Cox gave an interesting account
of the origin of the Brownie series of
articles. Prior to the fourteenth GEN.
tury there had been firm belief among
the people of the western part of Scot
land that the Brownies were in every
family and finished up the work left
undone by the good housewife when
she retired for the night. From this
legend Mr.. Cox evolved the little peo-
pie who have proved so interesting and
entertaining.

WAS AN EXCITING EPISODE
Detective ScanlOn and Halter Dunn
We're the Central Figures.
THE FORMER USED A REVOLVER
An Unpaid Bill Was at tho Bottom of the
Difficulty Principals Stories DO
Not Agree as to Dctails-Statc.
ments OF Both Men.

Detective Anthony Scanlon and Hat
ter Alexander Dunn, jr., had an alter
cation in the formers office, at Wyo-
ming avenue and Spruce street, yester-
day morning. which resulted in Mr..
Scanlon firing two shots at Mr.. Dunn,
and the latter beating a hasty retreat
from the building. The stories of the
principals concerning the cause of the
trouble do not harmoniZe at all 1t IL
conceded by both that the difficulty
arose over n bill that Mr.. Scanlon
owed Mr.. Dunn.
This bill, Mr.. Dunn says, Mr.. Scan
lon refused to pay, Notwithstanding
that he was requested so to do num-
Der of times. Mr.. Dunn declares that
the greatest satisfaction he could get
out Of Mr.. Scanlon In response to the
dunnng the latter received, was the
statement that II Mr.. Dunn wanted his
money he could sue for 1t.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Dunn says,
he went to the Office OF Colonel +. j.
E'ltzsimmons to make inquiries about
the lease of his store on Wyoming ave-
nue.. Mr.. Scanlon has desk room In the
colonels office, and as Mr.. Dunn was
retiring he spoke to Mr.. Scanlon con-
cerniiig the bill.
Mr.. Dunn says that without reasona-
BILE provocation Mr.. Scanlon threw a
piece of iron at him, following that
action up by firing two shots. Mr..
Dunn alleges that Mr.. Scanlon said
that the reason he would not pay the
bill was because Mr.. Dunn, as MEM
ber Of the grand jury, ignored the bills
against the Center street pool sellers.
on his part Mr.. Scanlon says that
he has never objected to paying Mr..
Dunn what he was rlghtfully entitled
to have. Mr.. Dunn, he says, rendered
him a bill which he believed was excess
sible. He marked the overcharges and
sent q check for the balance. This
check was returned to him, he says,
with curt note from Mr.. Dunn. Then
Mr. Scanlon told Mr.. Dunn that he
could bring suit before an alderman
and that they would there adjust their
differences. This Mr.. Dunn declined to
do.
II have been grossly insulted by Mr..
Dunn a number of times recently"
said Mr.. Scanlon yesterday. He
abused me publicly and said he would
take the bill out of my hide If | did not
pay him and l threatened to have him
put under bonds to keep the peace.
This morning he came to my office and
again insulted me. He moved toward
me as If to offer personal violence and
/ retaliated."
1t will be seen that these stories are
widely divergent.
Mr.. Scanlon was arrested and en-
tered bail to appear at a hearing be-
fore Alderman Fuller this afternoon at

Albert w. Cook, well known in this
city as a writer and special contributor
of hunting and animal stories to the
metropolitan dailies, died Monday
morning at his fathers home in
Schnevus, n. Y. Death was caused by
diabetes. His funeral today will be at
tended by Druggist John H. Phelps,
whose medicines have for several
months been advertised through the
agency of Mr.. Cook.
Mr.. Cooks writings were not all of
the humorous and droll style so much
read by Scrantonians. He began his
newspaper career as part owner of the
Carbondale Leader in 1872. He later
established the Carbondale Critic and
the Scranton Eagle, afterward working
on the staffs Of a number of Scranton
papers. He became correspondent for
the Elmira Telegram, but for seven

Rumor That Scarlet Fever Is Prevalent
at the Home Is Incorrect.


at the Home Is Incorrect.
Some Inconvenience has been caused
to the matron and inmates of the Home
for the Friendless by a report that a
large number of the residents of the
home were suffering from scarlet fever.
The official notice of the board of health
has been displayed on the house for
five weeks, but during that period only
one of the inmates has been affected.
There are forty-eight residing in the
home, exclusive of the matron and
staff, and the general health of the in
stitution is reported to be excellent.
The invalid is q little 7-year-old child,
and Is making satisfactory progress to-
ward recovery. During it's illness the
little sufferer has been well isolated in
a cozy room on the third floor, and
the precautions taken have prevented
the spread of the fever DR.. Heilner
has been unremitting in his efforts to
relieve the sufferer.

mOny given in the hearings on Lady

ersct determined to collect evidence
herself. She secured another lady as
Jealous as herself as Il companion, and
the pair obtained the services of a
young curate of their acquaintance as
male escort. Lady Henry is a woman
of generous proportions, and the lady
who was to accompany her was rather
larger Of the two. On the other hand.
the young curate was slight and weaz-
ened, with a pale. mild face that bore
a perpetual air Of melancholy. The
trip was made. and when the detective
party was placed upon the stand during
the hearing. the justice asked her lady
ship II, in her travels in the SlumS, she
had been molested or accOsted in any
offensive way. Lady Henry was COM
PEELED to reply that she had not. Her
companion I'VE similar testimony.
When the little curate took the stand.
the judge asked the same question Of
hm-if he had been accosted.
Yes" replied the little man, in a
shrill voice, land very extensively, too
WELL" said the judge, "what did
the woman say to you?'
well, sir" the curate declared. with
intense Indignation. "in II of the mu-
sic halls a couple of women came up
to me and one of them brazenly chuck
ed me under the chin and said, Why so
sad, Willie""
Even Lady Henry Somerset could not
suppress her laughter.
