very i'll at Chickamauga, and who was
at one time reported as dead. wrote a
letter recently to w. G. Hilton Of this

all in love with the water or the food

The commissioners held several

Among the many applications re
criVed by the commissioners Of inland
fisheries and game. for stocking wa
ters with trout and salmon, the most
moved one came last Saturday, from
Hon. II. l.. Shepard of R0cl;port. which
was no less an application than to
stock a stone quarry with trout. MI
Sfeuard says: I'VE have a limestone
quarry which we are not operating and
we allowed il to fiji up with water some
wears ago. 1t occurred to me that it
mieht he a good scheme to get a lot
Of trout to put into this, and that you
might he able to assist me IN securing
them. The quarry is about one acre N
sizp. ana the water IS about 80 to 10
feet deep and clear as crystal, and 4
three inch stream, at least, running
from it constantly. Sixty or 20 trout
were put in there few years ago, ana
some 40 of them were taken out this
wear, their length being from 10 to Is
inches"
The commissioners will no doubt
furnish a good supply of trout for this
miniature lake, as they have no doubt
they will flourish exceedingly Well
therein.

STATE HOUSE.
The I'd Regiment Placed in a
Hard Position.
Shall They Form the Batteries o
Wait for Third Call?
registration OF Guides Is Jn-Commission
ers Having Busy Season.

Governor Powers will arrive in the
city, Wednesday morning, when he will
consult with Adjutant General Rich
ards regarding the formation of the
three batteries of heavy artillery.
The orders from the war department
have arrived, and have been forwarded
to the governor, and the full text OF
the instructions will be known upon
his arrival in the city.
Adiutant General Richards. of course,
received the instructions, but natural
ly does not wish to make them public
until the governor has given permis-
sion, as all such instructions are direc-
ted to His Excellency.
1t is said, though, that the text of the
instructions is practically, as was an
nounced as probable in Mondays Jour
nal, 50 the situation is not at all
changed.
What companies of the End Regiment
will be chosen if the batteries are made
up from the guard remains to be seen.
and it is as great a puzzle to the off
cials, as it is to the people, and to the
officers Of the companies.
1t places the End Regiment in a very
embarrassing position. They would
of course Ike to go to the front as a
body, with their full list of officers, but
if they are made into batteries the
greater part of the officers Will be left
out in the cold, and the organization
will be totally destroyed.
Another matter that makes the sit
uation more complicated, is the an
nouncement upon very good authority
THAI there will be third call for 100 600
men. This would give the End Regi-
ment the chance to go as an organiza-
tion
And thus the matter stands. Shall
they go as three separate batterics.and
thereby turn down the officers who
have worked so long and hard in the
interest Of their companies or shall
they wait few weeks for the almost
certain call that will give them the
chance they most long for?
There is no doubt which they pre-
fer. but their pride may make them
take the former.
At the time the end Regiment went
home, there were many who made re-
marks about them. and some of these
remarks came from some who should
know better, that were very CALLING
to the men. They had done what they
considered their duty in staying to-
gether and their superior officers COM
mcnded them for their loyalty.
Iy they should now hesitate and wait
for the call that is practically prom
ised. the people will misconstrue their
actions, a few croakers will do the
rest. and their lives will be made mis-
cral5le. on the other hand if they wait
patiently. they viii be justly rewarded.
Just what will be done one knows,
not even those in authority. All want
to do what VIII be for the best inter
ests Of the country, and tN" future of
the National Guard, but it is; difficult
nroblrfn to decide.

found to have been killed. Six men were
badly wounded.
The Spaniards had by this time suffered
severe loss. Their shots from the light
house struck the warships several times.
and. although they did not do much dam
age, the fire aroused the determination of
the American ofncers to exterminats the
fort. Thereafter, for the moment, the fire
Of the warships was concentrated upon the
lighthouse and the improvised fort was
blown to pieces. As there were great num-
bers of Spaniards in and behind the fort
at the time, there is no doubt that many
Of them were killed.
The Narblehead and the Nashville used
their heaviest guns. as well AZ their small
rapid-fire guns, and hundreds Of shots were
thrown into the Spanish troops.

standing forward with an ensign when q

five American refugees and American cit

several Spanish officials came on board and
