Chief Greedy says Il l. Greatly Aided by
the Bicycle.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. oct. 22.-The an
nuai report of General Greedy. Chief
Signal Officer, contains some interesting
points. He speaks OF the advantages de-
rived from the use of the bicycle IN re-
pairing the telegraph lines. Ia one case
a break on the line was reached TWO
miles from the station In twenty minutes
less time than would have been con
sumed in obtaining mount. Al anotner
station Taylor's Ranch. Utah, the bicycle
has resulted in a single year ID greater
saving to the Government than the cost
OF the machine
Special attention Is given by the Signal
Corps 10 the suitable equipment OF its
flying telegraph trains. Flying telegraph
trains equipped as far as practicable with
the most modern appliances are situated
at Fort Riley. Kansas; Fort Grant. AriZo-
ma; Fort Sam Houston, Texas, Fort LeaF-
enworth, Kansas, and the Preside, san
Francisco Cal The question OF reelinh
out and recovering wire and outpost cable
by bicycle automatically mas been CON
cluded. and this corps now has a bicyle
equipped with an automatic reel Tor the
ptirpOse that works perfectly. The same
automatic device Is now being fitted To
an outpost cable cart, three OF which
have been ordered. from which are con-
hdently anticipated good results, as IN
the case OF the bicycle This will give
the Signal Corps an equipment SUPERIOR
to that Of any other country for rapid
paying out and taking up line the
operators being at all times IN commu-
nication with the base. Each section
OF the field train will eventually be sup
piled with bicycles and cable carts fitted
with automatic devices.
The instruction Of enlisted men of the
Signal Corps at Fort Riley, Kansas, has
been continued with satisfactory results.
The theoretical instruction occupies four
months and the practical two months.
The course embraces electricity, teleg-
raphy. telephony. military signaling. field
surveying, map-malung, and photography.
and is designed 10 make each man an cx-
PERT sienalist and good telegraph operator
and qualify him TO make rough field
sketches or Photographic reconnolsances.
Cordial relations with the militia Of the
various States have been cultivated. All
the aid which has been possible 10 eN-
tend by the Signal Corps 10 the National
Guard has been given
Most complete work IN signaling was
done by the special detachment at Fort
Trumbull. Conn, In connection with the
Signal Corps Of New York and Connect
cut during the practice Of the New York
Naval Reserves Messages by flag and
helograph were transmitted rapidly ana
accurately both in the Morse and general
service codes.

LEXINGTON, VA, Oct. 2.-Special.-
DR.. Reid White. son OF the late Profes-
sor James Jones White, chair of Greek
Of Washington and Lee University, and
a popular Johns Hopkins University man,
was married here to-day 20 Miss Lucy
Waddeli Preston, daughter OF the late
Dr. Thomas l.. Preston, for many years
pastor OF the Presbyterian church here.
The wedding was sOlemnized at the
house of the brides mother. only a few
relatives and friends being present. The
Rev. John A. Preston. ID. d.. OF Char
lotte, y. c., uncle OF the bride, per-
formed the ceremony. The bride was
married in white crepe, veil, and pearls,
with brides roses.
They left FOR northern tour.
The bride ana groom are very popular
society leaders. highly cultivated. and
come from old Virginia stock, being con-
nected with some or the best families
in Virginia. kentucky, and other States.
The bride was the recipient Of nearly
two hundred choice and valuable pres
ents.

time the two schools nave met on the

These two military schools play IN

the idea OF playing Washington and Lee

is to keep from the knowledge OF the
Virginia Military Institute cadets the

there, he said, the overseers Of his work,
a number Of black navvies, two Norwe-
CLANS, and one American.
we were all treated very badly" he
continued. "and when we asked FOR our
wages. captain Lothaire, who was in
command of the station, informed us
that payments would be made at Bona.
Capt. Lothaire accompanied US 10 BONA,
where the two Norwegians, the Ameri-
can, and myself were quartered IN a nut.
We awolIe i'm the middle OF the night ana

I'VE made our escape from the hut,
and the American accOsted Lothaire, ask

his sword and struck the American on
the back with IL, and the black police
men. by Lothaire's orders, bound him 10
a tree with leather thongs.

Lothaire walked up 20 him and slashed
him with MS SNOIu, NouiulHS MN N'i''-
bly,. The Norwegans and | were AFRAID
TO interfere. for we were in the presence
Of two hundred native troops. but as
soon as possible after an opportunity
came we cut the thongs that bound the
wounded man. and carried him to the
outskirts OF Bona, where he fingered
two DAYS and died. After the American
died the Norwegians and l succeeded In
stealing a Government canoe, under the
cover of night. and made our escape
down the river. Both of the Norwegians
were killed while making the journey In
the canoe"
Bradley added that Bishop Taylor, the
American missionary at Stanley Pool,
told him the real cause Of Lothaires
hanging of the British trader Stokes was
that Lothaire was jealous OF Stokes SUI

him that Lothaire was his enemy, be-
cause he would not bride him as the
other traders did.--New York Herald
