BULLETS IN BATTLE.
An Old Soldier Tells low 1t reels to Ee
SHOT.

Tho old soldier, With a hot toddy be-
fore blu. WAS communicative.
"1I3w id you feel when yen went
into your Grst fght?'' the reporter in
quired, as NEST people Go vhea they be-
gin to ask a soldier questions about his
experiences.
II felt as though there were rail
lion places in the world I'd rather DO
than where l then was," was the frank
response.
"Were you afraid?
"Of course | was. / knew these fcl-
lows shooting at Us weren't doing it fer
their health CT fer ours, either, ard l
lnew enough about Guns to Enow that
they were dangerous"
but you oyercame your fear IS the
fight progressed?'
Anyhow, l didn't mind it SO much.
After awhile l got mad, and then l for
got about myself and wanted to lick the
entire army against us.
did you ever get shot?"
Once only, and it was queer about
that. You read stories III the papers
about how it feels to be shot, and l sup
pose they are correct, for every man has
a different way Ct taking his cold lead.
I've seen men shot square in the fore
head, stand for an instant rs if turned
into stone and then drop without ever
bending a joint. Some I've seen run
screaming away and fall dead with the
scream on their lips. I've seen some
grab and clutch at themselves and spin
around as if they had been hit with a
club and didn't know what the matter
was; some drop quietly and say nothing
about it; some jump high il the air
and fall stiff as pckers, and SC on
through q list Of them, no two alike.
Sin my own case, I was fighting in
the woods in a skirmish in Virginia on
a terrific hot day. 1t was lively in there,
| can tell you, and | wasn't thinking
about myself at oil. We had started On
q run through an open space after the
Johnnies, and just as we slowed down.
when we saw they had got too close to
the main body for us to go after them
/ began to feel sick and weak and told
the man next to me that l thought /
must be sunstruck. He began to say
and everything grew dark.
The next l knew ! was in q hospital
with a hole through my chest. When l
got it Or how, l never knew, but it
couldn't have been more than ten min
utes before 1 collapsed, because a man
,ouldn't stand up long with that kind
Of a ventilator in his bosom. Wash.

They call a motor wagon an autocar
in Great Britain. The prospect is that
it will come into general use in farming
communities there for heavy hauling.
In taking milk and produce to the rail

will be u vast Improvement on the horse

of the farm help required to take care

only the keep of the horse, but tho keep
and wages of at least one man to the

however, very high in price thus far,

Crawford Marley.

English papers say that Crawford
Marley, who recently died in New Zea-
land at the age Of SO, was the last sur
vivor Of those who had a ride ON Ste
phenson's No. l engine when the Stock
ton and Darlington railway was first
opened. He was about ID years Of age at
the time, and, with two other boys,
he went to see the iron horse, which
was brought from Newcastle ON a dray
by eight horses. When the locomotive
had been placed on the line, George
Stephenson's brother Joseph, who was
in charge of it, asked the lads to u to
a farmhouse for some buckets, and the
boiler was filled from a spring near at
hand. The fire having been lighted and
steam raised, the boys, in return for
their assistance, were invited to have a
ride.

There is a difference in congressional
usage between the binding force Of
Joint and concurrent resolutions, so
called. The two houses may pass a reso-
luton CT the form called concurrent, but
this action has net the force it would
have if the resolution were of the form
called joint. The concurrent resolution
is merely an expression Of opinion and
does not require the presidents si"na-
lure. A joint resolution. on the other
hand, does require the presidents sig
nature, and when this is obtained the
resolution is binding like an act of on
gross In case the president does not
sign the joint resolution, then the two
houses may pass it over his veto aud
compel him to obey it This distinction
between joint and concurrent is II
established by the United States con-
gross in its system Of parliamentary
usage The resolutions recognizing bel
ligerency for the Cuban patriots and
recommending hat the president offer
his friendly services to Spain in bring
ing about an understanding between the
combatants were of the form called con-
current; therefore the president is not
obliged to either sign or veto them.
He is o obliged to pay any attention
at all to them.

SECOND FATAL ERROR
Two Armies of spaniards
Fire on Each Other.
MANY WERE KILLED AND INJURED
Each MistOOk the Other for Insurgent
FOrces--The Leading Omcers Are
to be Court MartiaIed.

HAVANA, March 24.-Two colum ms of
Spanish troops, commanded by General
Godoy and Colonel Holduin, at Santa
Rosa plantation, near Esperanza, prov
ince of Santa Clara, mutually mistook
each other for insurgent forces, owing, it
is said, to the thickness of the sugar
canes. Each detachment opened fire
and for ten minutes shots were ex-
changed, resulting in the killing of
seventeen soldiers, among them being
Lieutenant Colonel Fuenmayor, of the
Navas battalion. In addition five Off
GERS and eighty-four soldiers were
wounded. Two of the latter have since
died. Six others are mortally wounded
and thirty-two seriously injured. Ow-
ing to the fact that the meeting between
the two columns took place at midday,
the explanation furnished by the Span
ish commanders is not considered satis-
factory and court martial will follow.
This Is the second mistake of the kind
that has occurred in the past few weeks.

prominent butcher and one of the stock
holders of the American Dressed Meat
Company of this city, and w. A. Mont
gomery, who was employed as butcher
at the company's yards, were
arrested late tonight on charge of steal
ing cattle. Both were released on bonds
of $1,000 each, to appear in the justice
court next Tuesday. The complaint was
made by Oliver Cornwell, who runs a
small meat market in this city. The
prosecuting attorney stated to reporter
that several years past members of the
the American Meat Company have been
suspected of stealing cattle from farmers
and other stockmen in the county, and,
although the officers haye been working
on the case all the time, no direct evil
dence could be secured until few days
ago that they were the guilty parties.
1t appears that last October Cornwell
found two of his cattle in the stockyard
of the company, but all the employees
denied any knowledge how they came
there and released the cattle. Today

have secured sufficient evidence to ar

either pounded his finger, according to

passion, he hurled the mallet from him.
