LEXINGTON, VA, September 6.-spc-
cial.-Every train for the past week has
brought in a crowd Of rats for the
Virginia Military Institute, aud the num-
Der OF men enrolled up 10 this morning
exceeded ninety. New men arc still ar
riying. and letters and kilograms have
been received from all parts OF tho coun-
ny announcing the coming Of almost as
many more.
Tho number OF men enrolled far ex-
ceeds all expectations, and it Is highly
probable that the cadet battalion viii DO
over three hundred strong.
IL Is remarkable ~ fast the new
corners ave fallen into the run OF things
aud how quickly they brace up ana De-
come straight.
IL seems that INNING out is a won
darful bracer, n the grun voices OF tho
young cadet officers have executed such
a change in the men that many y parent

NARROW ESCAPE.
Oscar Gregg Kicked in the Face
by a Horse.

His Nose Is Badly Broken but no other
Injuries are Received The Animal
Kicked without Warning while he
was Cnrrying it-Dr. Wade dresses
the Injuries and Gregg walks Home
after the Operation win soon
Recover IL there are no complica-
tions.
Oscar Gregg had very narrow
escape from death on Thursday
morning and as it is will have very
painful reminder for some time that
he was in great danger. He was
kicked in the face by horse that
he was currying and the nose was
very badly broken. No other in
juries were received and the shock
did not affect the brain as it often
does in such cases
Dr. 5. S. Wade was called and he
dressed the wounds at once. He
found the injuries to be as above
and states that in case there are no
complications that the patient will
soon be over the accident.
The kicking occurred in the stable
on Long Alley belonging to Ike
Weaver and was done while Oscar
was engaged in currying one of the
horses in the stable. He aad finish
ed one side of the animal and had
noticed that it was unusually spirit
ed. Mr.. G. T.. Elliott was in The
stable and remarked to Gregg that
the horse might kick and told him
to be careful. Oscar said that he
was not afraid of it kicking and laid
his curry comb on the animals hip.
The kick followed like lightning.
The blow was received fair in the
face but strange to say he was not
knocked down. He gave low cry
and stepped back from the horse.
Elliott took hold of him and helped
him to a seat where he remained I'M
til the wounds were dressed when
he walked to his fathers on Main
street.
The shock at first made him very
sick but he soon recovered from this
effect and is now on the fair road to
complete recovery.
We are certainly glad to learn
that the accident will not result
any more seriously than the chances
are for it to do.

COMING BACK.
Billy Cramer Located and he is
Now on The Back Track.

CHARLESTON Sept. &c. w. Cramer
time ago offered an appointment
as first lieutenant In the
Second West Virginia regiment, has
at last been located, and, is now on his
way from Santiago to accept the ap-
pointmeut. This information was
obtained from the following telegram,
which the Governor received from
Adjutant General Corbin:
"Gov. G. w. Atkinson, Charleston,
w. Va.
In compliance with your request
caDlegram was sent to Santiago and
the following reply was received:
Charles w. Cramer, sixth cavalry,
sails ON the Roumania, Aug. 28. He
is perfectly we'll"
From other sources it has been learn
ed that young Cramer was wounded
in the battle of Santiago, in which he
took very creditable part as mem
Der of troop X, sixth cavalry. His
wound confined him to the hospital
for some time, and this is supposed to
be the reason why he has not been
heard from sooner
Cramer is the young man who figur-
ed in an escapade, while the First reg
iment was here, which caused the
Governor to revoke his commission as
first lieutenant in one of the compan-
les. He left here and joined the reg
ular army, and now that he has made
this effort to retrieve himself, the
Governor deems it no more than just
for him to offer to the young soldier
his former rank. Cramer is West
Virginia University graduate. He
will fiji the vacant first lieutenancy in
Company X.
Cramer is very well known here and
his friends are glad to learn that he
has retrieved himself and is on his
way back TO this country. He will ar
rive in few days and will at once
take charge of his new position. The
lesson that his experience has given
him will be valuable one and he may
be depended upon to steer clear of any
more such in the future.

TENDER 1st., and his smiling counte-
nance will not be seen behind the
window any more. He has been con-
nected with the Office for more than
four years and has madea splendid re-
cord for falthfulness and efficiency in
that time. During the time he has
been in the. Office he has not missed
two weeks from his duties counting
Sundays and all. This is a record
that is hard to beat.
He was liked for his politeness and
willingness to accommodate the public
and he will be missed by great num-
Der of the patrons Of the office.
His plans for the future are not fully
matuTed but whatever may engage
his attention is bound to be great
success on account of his ability.
The Office has started on this year
with fattering prospects. The first
two months are always duh but this
time the dull quarter will be as good
as the best quarter in any preceding
year. This shows that the business
for the next year will again be a
record breaker and that the increase
in the salary may be regarded as a
certainty and free delivery a thing
which will soon be experienced.

THE CHAFFEES ARE RELEASED.
Will Return in October and Confess to
nine Cases and Pay Their Fines.

Harry and Frank Chaffe, who have
been in jail for several weeks charged
with unlawful retailing and under a
number of indictments for this Of
fence, have been released by an agree
ment between the state and their at
torneys. They will appear at the Oc-
tober term of court and will confess
to nine cases.
They have gone back to Mounds
vile to make money to pay off these
fines. The release was made as there
was no good reason why they should
be kept in jail at the expense of the
county and they having no money
there was no good reason to believe
they would ever pay the fines against
them if left in jail.
