to wait for quite a long time. 1t was
the prospect of delay in the use of a

Gear, Lansing & Co.. investigating the
water supply question and it is evident
that they found out it would be a
pretty good plan in a business way.

Big Copper Wire.

The Hawaiian Electric company is
now stringing on Fort street a line of
the largest soft drawn copper wire
made. 1t is not insulated and is to be
used in the transmission of power for
elevators. < great many people are
watching the placing of the wire and
wondering if the affair is dangerous.
It is not likely that the current would
kill and there is said to be no more
peril with it than has an ordinary line.

TERRELL WILL
 RIDE MARTIN The California Cycler Accepts the Australians Chal-
 lenge.
Martin Also Wants to Ride Against the Running Horse Prince
 Hooker

The challenge of William Martin, the celebrated cyclist who arrived here last week from Australia, and which was pub Iished exclusively in The Call Saturday, seems likely to be productive of match race of more than ordinary interest, and the wheelmen hereabouts may have the "pugger" go against one of our crack local riders, Bob" Terrill.
 Terrill will accept Martins offer to race from one to five miles, best two in three heats. for side bet and purse, and will ride him in two weeks. The only draw back to the match lies in the fact that both are l.. A. w. men and cannot race on Sunday under it's rules. The gate" at a Saturday afternoon meet might not pay promoter to hang up a very attrac- bet is large enough he doesn't care rap about the purse. The Elmhurst track people are now dealing with the principals and hope to bring off the match across the bay.
 As soon as Martin leaves here he is Hooker, whose owner offers all expenses and $1000 to any cycler who with pacing can beat the horse three out of five heats al from one to five miles. He is run | ming horse, attached to a sulky, and a
 wheelman has got to beat 1:5O for mile
 to defeat him. All the cyclers in the south mounted on everything from a single wheel to a sextet. have been up against this horse and been beaten. Mar tin thinks he can do the trick handilly, however, if he can get pacemakers, and.
 as usual, is willing to bet little of his
 own money on the side.

A GETTYSBURG TRAGEDY.
The Painful Duty of n Division Com
mander While I'm
der Fire.

A captain on the staff OF division
commander at the battle of Gettysburg,
who afterward became a general and
commanded division himself for
time, once said that if he had it he would
willingly give million dollars If he
could forget and never recall Gettys-
burg tragedy.
"We needed every man in line" said
the general. "Orders had been given
to let no well or unwounded man go to
the rear. Our general had told the
whole staff that if we couldn't stop
stragglers any other way o'shoot them
down. AS soon as the firing began a
certain class fled from the front and the
staff flew at them on their horses and
pushed them back into the ranks. 1t

mad to see fellow run away from his
comrades when they were in trouble,and
used to be rougher with them than l
wanted to be with any class of Gods
creatures. The enemy was pressing our
line very hard. \ break was greatly
feared. Back came another cluster of
stragglers, big, hearty fellows, who
never stay under fire second longer
than they are forced to stay. L Imade di-
rect for three of them with my drawn
sword. Two cf them went back to
duty. The third told me to go where it
was hotter than that hottest day at

stood in his way. Go back to
your place instantly l demanded

but parted tenderly from the old man
and went to Virginia to join the cav
airy.
"Deloney watched with pride the
rapid improvement of the young re-
cruit, but had forgotten the incident
until the great cavalry fight at Brandy
Station. When the squadrons were
charging and counter-charging with
the intrepid clash and dash of the light
brigade, Pierce Young suddenly or
dered him to attack federal brigade
that was forming on the flank.
"'Get right among them, Bill, and
break them up with cold steel, was the
order; don't give them time to form
The words were hardly spoken when
his command, Deloney far in advance,
was sweeping down upon the foe, but
before he was within hundred feet of
the enemy something went by him like
n cyclones breath; the Georgia boy was
standing on tiptoc in his stirrups, bare
headed. his golden hair streaming,
with sabre high in air, and as he passed,
with the light of battle in his face, and
| eyes flashing defiance, he turned in his
saddle and shouted, Colonel, here's
your dominicller!'
"a moment more and he struck the
enemy's line like a cannon shot, his
sabre flashing on every hand, until he
was literally hacked down by the
startled foemen. When the fight was
over, Deloney looked for him, and there
he lay in the calm of death, his boyish
face glorified with the dying thought:
They'll tell pa l never showed the
dominicker.' ATLANTA Constitution.

ChICKAMAuGA-lses.

They are camped on Chickamaugal
Once again the white tents CLEAN
On that field where vanished heroes
Sleep the sleep that knows no dream.
There are shadows all about them
OF the ghostly troops to-day,
But they light the common campfire
Those who wore the blue and gray.
Where the pines of Georgia tower,
Where the mountains kiss the sky,
On their arms the nations warriors
Wait to hear the battle-cry.
Wait together, friends and brothers,
And the heroes meath their feet
6leep the long and dreamless slumber
Where the flowers are blooming sweet
gentrles. pause. yon shadow challenge!
Rock-ribbed Thomas goes that way
He who fought the foe unyielding
In that awful battle fray.
Yonder pass the shades of heroes,
And they follow where Bragg leads
Through the meadows and the river,
But no ghost the sentry heeds.
Field of fame, q patriot army
Treads thy sacred sod to-day!
And they'll face common foeman,
Those who wore the blue and gray.
And they'll fight for common country,
And they'll charge to victory
Meath the folds of one brave banner
Starry banner of the free!
They are camped at Chickamauga,
Where the green tents of the dead
Turn the soil into glory
Where nations heart once bled;
But they're clasping hands together
On this storied field of strife
Brothers brave who meet to battle
In the freedom-war of life!

THE YOUNG RECRUIT.
Pathetic story of n Youthful Confed-
ernte who Never Showed the
"Dominicker."

Judge Falligant can tell war story
better than any other living man. Here
is pathetic one in his own words:
"While at home recruiting tis com
mand in men and horses, an oldWarmer
friend came to gallant Col. BIZ De-
loney and said: Bill, my boy here
as got the war fever. His mother and
have tried to get it out of him, but it's
no use. He swears he'll run away if
don't let him go, so I've mounted him
on the best racing colt had, and here
he is. Take him with you, but I've this
much to say: If he ever shows the
dominicker, kill him right then and
there; don't let him come home The
old farmer raised game chickens and
fought them, too. He had contempt
for dominicker rcosters, because he
didn't think they would fight, and that
was his blunt way of describing a cow

haired country lad of seventeen, stand

but vivid fire flashing from his steel
