one of the brightest days of the year
last Sunday-was suddenly and without
warning turned into one of the saddest
for our friend E. 7. Blair and family
The family had gone to Oak Grove to
attend church, using covered hack as
a conveyance. Everything had gone
well and they were returning home,
enjoying the bright sunlight, when
while attempting to pass some obstruc-
ton in the road the hack was upset and
the entire family thrown ont and under
the falling vehicle. Luckily the team
broke lose as the vehicle turned over
and this undoubtedly prevented much
more serious accident. In the hack at
the time were Mr.. and Mrs. Blair and
four children and Miss Garner In
falling the mother it appears fell on the
youngest child, about year old, and
when picked up the latter was found so
seriously injured that it died within a
short time Mr.. Blair was also CON
siderably injured and tainted after the
accident and required the attention OF
the others for a time. None of the
others We're seriously hurt.
The family have the sympathy of the
entire community in the untimely loss

THE CASE OF THE IRISH VOLUNTEERS.

National Guardsmen are interested In the matter
which came up again with the decision OF Justice
Pryor. who vacated the Injunction oo'a'hsd oy inc
irish Volunteers on Memorial Day last year. When
the National Guard refused at that time 10 parade
with that organization and Its commander was en-
Joined from allowing his men 10 carry arms. tenn
porary Injunction obtained restraining the police
from interfering. and since then the so-caled reg-
ment has paradcd several times with arms.
Justice Pryor's action throws the matter into the
hands OF the Governor and he will have 10 decide
whether these men may parade with arms. The
Volunteers are an organization composed OF Irish
men who must be members Of some other society TO
be eligible for membership. The Command was organ
lied as an opposition regiment 10 the 69th by men
who had been members OF that organization and had
taken prominent parts In the wrangles and squabbleo
which threatened the disruption OF the command.
and did Its reduction 10 me grade Of battalion.
The Volunteers are nearly ell mebers OF the order
Clan-Na-Gael, and National Guardsmen who know
the composition OF the so-called regiment believe
that no exception should be made In their favor and
that they should no, be allowed 10 carry arms.
