ONE VERSION.
The following is from THE STARS
special reporter:
The special meeting of the Sharp
shooters Company for the reconsidern
ton of the motion to disband was held
last evening at 1880. The motion to re
consider the resolution to disband wal
made by j. l.. Mclean and duly second
ed and carried. After the reading oi
the minutes of the previous meeting
Rev. ii. w. Peck endeavored to have
the records changed. which however,
the meeting would not allow and a mo
ton to approve the minutes as r. adj was
carried and the Secretary upheld.
There was considerable wrangling
between the Captain and Mr.. Peck
upon this point and the fact that
they constituted the rule or ruin
policy or third term and personal
luminosity party, this little squable was
looked upon as not entirely satisfac
tory to that small but presumptious
| faction.
1t should be stated the officers were
to constitute the committee to petition
the Commander-in-Chie to disband mo
reason to he stated. Captain Kidwell
reported as one of the committee that

they refused. The Captain, however,
seeing the prospective third term in
view under the Marshal rushed in his
little document, and he informed the
meeting that it had been returned to
him as not having been properly for

the statement, supported by Lieutenant
/ Wall that he was not in favor
of breaking up the company and
as he had been deceived in the inform.
alton that the captain had been good
enough to furnish, the lieutenant con-
sidered that the best interests of the
company would be served by not signing
the petition.
At this point the captain made the ex.
PLANTATION that he had got the informa.

hand, and he himself could not give the
company his authority. 1t evidently
served his purpose of deceiving the
members into voting for disarmament at
the previous meeting. The captain
made considerable capital, at least he

courteous and gentlemanly letter would
be sufficient to do little hoodwinking,
but the members evidently had enough
of that kind of thing. Senator Mclean.

that the whole matter relating to dis-
banding be indefinitely postponed which
was carried, two not voting. The Rev.
Mr.. Peck then wanted to make three
motions: First, to uniform and drill;
second, reorganize under Marshal; and

ANOTHRR ACCOUNT.
At the special meeting of the
Sharpshooters, Private Mclean pro-
posed to set up brand new target.
Private Peck demurred at once and
called attention to all old target
which he insisted should be patch
ed up. 1t was finally voted to let
the old target stand as it was and
use the new one.
Captain Kidwell fired several
shots at the old target, as did also
Private Peck. OF course the scorer
put down misses for them. They
challenged the marker, but the
wig -wag again appeared. Privates
