fore court-martial, if he were asked to
do so.
How many did you lose by sickness?'
asked the reporter.
ITO this question Private Miller replied
that he believed the number had been set
down at 5000. He said 1t was a doleful
thing to hear every morning the volleys
shot over the graves of soldiers who had
died during the night. The firing became
so frequent and had such a disturbing ef-
feet on the sick soldiers that II was final
ly decided TO discontinue the firing of vol
leys. The soldiers, rached with pain on
their beds. would listen with expressions
of horror to the volley firing. thinking
perhaps, that on the morrow there would
be volley fired over their newly made
graves. When he private Miller was
wounded twice in one day he would have
bled to death but for the timely assist
ance rendered him by an Irish comrade,
whose drollery and rich brogue were a
constant source of amusement. He did
not see a doctor for five days after he was
wounded Private Miller said that men
were appointed surgeons who knew moth
ing about medicine, and who were not fit
to prescribe for sick people
Did you see Gen Shafter during the
fighting?
This query brought a smile. expressive
of supreme contempt, on the face of Pri-
yate Miller. See Gen. Shafter? No. He
was five miles away. He did not come
once within the firing lines replied Pri-
vate Miller.
That was hardly encouraging to the
men In the trenches?'
why, 1t was customary for the men
In the trenches TO sing out to each other:
When will shafter get off his perch? -
Private Miller replied
Did the officers allow you to speak SO
disrespectfully of your commanding gen.
eral?'
They did. They would smile when
they heard the men talk so of shafter.'
private Miller said there was a great
deal of suffering in the trenches. The
rain would fall in torrents, and then the
| sun would come out scorchingly hot,
| making the heat unbearable. At night
| they had to sleep in mud. 1t was while
! in the trenches that Private Miller was
frst wounded. There were a few rifles
| on the embankment which his captain
wanted to get. He crawled up on 1t and
threw the rifles down. He was seen by
! the Spaniards and fired on, and was hit
! in the hip by Mauser bullet The bulle,
penetrated his flesh and injured the bone
somewhat, but did not injure the joint
! He rolled down into the trench and had
his wound dressed with bandages by mis-
| comrade Some hours afterwards he was
| wounded again, the second time by an
exploded shell. The piece of the shell
struck him In the side and imbedded itseli
! In his body. He would have bled to
! death but for his Irish friend who pro-
! cured banoages and dressed the wound
He has not entirely recovered from that
wound yet. When he was sent North to
Montauk his wounds were better at
tended to than they were In Cuba. From
Montauk he was sent to st. Vincents
| Hospital in New York, where he re-
ceived excellent treatment. He is still
wearing the plaster that was put on his
side in St Vincent's Hospital"

WATER COMMITTEE
 WILL NOT REPORT At the Council Meeting To- Night-Cause of the De-
 lay Not Known.

The report of the water committee will not be presented to the city council at the meeting tonight This is the concensus of opinion in the special committee which has the matter in charge.
 Why the report will not be completed is not stated. About two weeks ago it was given out that the only thing remaining to be done was to consider the new sched- ule of rates that was being prepared by the water company. The evidence that was taken before the committee has all been studied and sifted and 1t is evident to all that the water rates In Birmingham are entirely too high. However, the com- mittee is of the opinion that the water is pure enough and the question of filtration will not be taken up.
 Maj. Milner, the superintendent of the water company, stated on the witness stand that 1t was his opinion that a more equita- ble schedule of rates could be arranged and evinced willingness to do the right thing in the matter. The water company was invited to prepare a schedule of rates and submit it to the committee to be passed upon.
 The cause of the delay of the report is somewhat in doubt. Either this schedule has not been presented, was presented and found unsatisfactory, or the committee is preparing quite a lengthy report.
 At any rate the longer the report is delayed the longer the citizens of Bir- mingham will be compelled to pay exorbi- tant rates for water.

ECHOES FROM
 POLICE PULLINGS

In the inferior criminal court yesterday morning thirty defendants faced the bar of justice. Of this number twenty-one re- suited in conviction, six were continued, one was nolle pressed and two of the de- fendants were declared not guilty.
 Fines to the amount of $16s were assessed and 210 days extra were placed against the prisoners. None of the fines were pad. Five hundred and forty-eight days will have been served before the last prisoner fined yesterday will have again gained his liberty.
 Several of the inmates of the city jail were fined $l6 and thirty days extra for refusing to work after sentence. Section 1H of the city code, which deals with this violation of the law, provides that prison CTS who refuse to work after sentence shall be fined not exceeding $10 or more than thirty days extra at the discretion of the recorder. In this instance, however, the prisoners were fined $l5 and thirty days extra.

SECRET MARRIAGE: |: ,. :. SHOCKS DECATUR A Young Lady Welded to Michi-
 gan Man in Chicago---kept
 Quiet Two Months.
Special to The Age-Herald.

.s
 Decatur, Ala, April 5-A pretty romance
 in society high life has just come to light
 here.
 For months past the young people who
 furnish this story have been in love with
 each ether, but fearing parental opposition
 kept their secret to themselves until the
 young lady should arrive at marriageable
 age.
 Some months ago Miss Mattie, the daugh-
 ter of Superintendent R. H. Adams of the
 Decatur Water Works company, paid a
 visit to relatives in far-away Michigan. The
 family, BeDell by name, lived at Menomi-
 nee, and her lover, young Ben BeDell was
 a member of the family by whom Miss
 Adams was being entertained. During her
 stay there every opportunity was afforded
 the young lovers to perfect their plans, and
 so when the dark-eyed southern beauty
 started on her horheward journey, nothing
 suited their purpose better than for young
 Ben BeDell to act as her escort home, he coming here to visit the family of his sweetheart and ostensiby to go into busi- ness, should the location suit him. They came and society opened its arms to BeDell. He was made a Hon of, going
 everywhere and stabbing many feminine hearts by his charm of manner. Miss Ad-
 ans pursued the same course for two months, receiving callers, going out driy- ing with her young gentlemen friends and leaving no social function sighted. Not a hint was given by the young lady to her l family or friends of the true situation and | no one could have dreamed from the de- | pertinent of the young couple to each other | that anything existed between them more 1 than warm friendship.
 The end of the drama came yesterday | afternoon, when young BeDell received l telegram calling him home on matters or l importance. Nothing was left but to ac- | knowledge the fact to the old folks that 1 they were man and wife, having stopped | over at Chicago on their journey south from Michigan, procuring license and be- | ing married After the old mans first ex- plosion had vented itself he cooled down | fand succumbed to the inevitable, and | finally gave them his God bless you, my | children" and went to the train to see them off. MT. and Mrs. BeDell left for their future home on the northbound Louis- | vile and Nashville No. at p. m Mon- day afternoon.
 It was not many minutes before the story had blown all over town, and to say that society was electrified is but putting 1t | mildly.
