WILL ESCORT THE GOVERNOR.
Foot Guard Voted to Attend the Peace
 Jubilee

The Second company, Governors Foot Guard, held an important meeting last night. Over one hundred members were present and it was unanimously decided to act as escort to Governor Cooke on the occasion of his visit to the peace jubilee, to be held in Phila- de1phia from October 20 to 27. It is quite probable that 130 men will go and each one at his own expense. It is es- pecially desired that this company at tend, as nearly all the members have seen service in the army. The gover- nors of the thirteen original states have been asked to be present and each one that attends will doubtless have a mili- tary escort. The day has not yet been definitely decided upon.
 It was also decided to have the regu- lar company drills on Monday nights during the coming winter.

The meeting was primarily called for the purpose of taking some appropriate ac- ton concerning the recent deaths of aieutenant Redmond V. Beach and Lieutenant Allan M.
