o'clock in the afternoon, suffered a painful
accident while his train stopped at Lebanon
yesterday The train had just come to a
standstill when he stepped from one of the
platforms to make his reports to the tele-

him, and he fell. He picked himself up and
attempted to walk, but again fell, and was
carried to his car, where a doctor, who was
on the train, attended him until he reached
this city, when Dr.. Marsee took him in
charge. The conductor says that as he
stepped down he felt something similar to
a blow from large stone at the lower part
of his leg. and it was at first thought that
the main tendon Of the lower limb was in
jured, but DIR. Marsee last night pronounced
it nothing more serious than a severe
sprain. McGill was moved to his home, 2249
Broadway, in a carriage and was attended.

My soul to him may take its flight.

OUR BOYS IN CAMP WILMER.
PMLroo, Baltimore county, Md,

PndLIco, Baltimore county, Md,
May 4, 1898.
The second week of our boys in camp
finds US settled down in regular routine Of
soldier life, and Notwithstanding the very
miserable weather that greeted us on our
advent here, we are all in excellent spirits
and health, and enjoying this new life to
our hearts content. There is q general good
fellowship among all of the boys of all the
companies, and they never fail to cheerfully
share with each other whatever the occasion
requires. We are all our own housekeep-
ers, and 1t is daily sight to see some OF as
in front Of our tents scrubblng away for
dear life and washing out such things as
towels, handkerchiefs, socks, etc., while
others are sweeping and putting things in
order generally.
This is truly q provincial life, but has a
peculiar fascination about it equal to no
other that have ever experienced.
We have many daily visitors, and they
hail from all sections Of the State. 1t is es
timated that they numbered at least 1000
on Sunday last and many Of our dear, good
friends from old Montgomery greeted US
with friendly hand shakes and cheering
words.
A very trustworthy feature of the camp
is the establishment of reading and writing
tent by the Y. M. CA. of Baltimore, where
every accommodation is offered and all sta
tionery furnished to any one who wishes to
take advantage of the opportunity.
Company X enjoys the distinction of be-
ing the crack company Of the First Regi-
ment, considering the short time they have
drilled, and many congratulations of the
higher officers to our captain and lieuten-
ants have been rendered
The musical contingent of Company X
are in constant demand from neighbonng
companies for serenades, etc. The boys
ever willing to please, never fail to respond
and are always accorded welcome greet
ing.
Our captain and lieutenants have the con-
fidence and respect of every man in the COM
pany, and never hesitate to comply always
with their wishes.
skinny" Poss is the wag OF Company X,
and his good nature, together with his will.
ing to always please, has made favorite
with every one with whom he comes in
contact.
Many amusing things happen in camp life,
and jokes and pranks are the order of each
day. One of our boys, who had several
times escaped the sentinels and visited places
OF entertainment on the outside once too
often, approached the captain and conf
dentially informed him that some of his
comrades had been going out too often and
suggested that for their own good he had
better watch them. The captain, acting
upon his suggestion, placed out an extra
sentinel, and the first one who was caught
was this self same confidential informer.
Now the whole company has the laugh on
him.
Now, with the best wishes for all of our
county friends ard long and prosperous
life to the Sentinel, we are,
Yours truly, COMPANY X.
