AWFUL INJURIES.
The First Reports of the Hurts
Received by Miss Mcclure
not much Exaggerated.

The First Kick Of the Horse Knocked
her Down and the Animal then began
to stamp and Kick Her-List of In
juries received Mrs. McClEre gets
Her out After Calling Joe Henderson
to help her. Or. Gibbons Attends the
patient--Detaiis of Accident.
Miss Artie Mcclure, an account of
whose injuries were given in this
paper yesterday, was very badly hurt,
yet it is too soon to say just how badly
of she is. The doctor cannot tell
from the present condition OF the pa.
tient what the outcome will be, but
he is certain that she is in precar-
ious condition.
She was cut about the head, her
collar bone was dislocated in a very
bad manner, her knee was greatly
damaged. one of her breasts was terri
bly, injured, rib was torn, and she
received a number of minor injuries.
The horse that did the mischief had
never been vicious before, and was
her driving horse. 1t is thought that
the reason that he acted rs he did
was that he thought that she was
going TO put something on his leg
which had been inflamed and which
had been treated with some prepare
ton which had hurt him considerably.
The animal thought that she was
going to put some more medicine on
him and when she touched him he
kicked at her.
The hoof struck her on the head and
she fell down almost senselesS. This
frightened the animal and he began
to kick and stamp her. Luckily the
blows nearly ell went over her and she
received not a 1.-THE of those that
were aimed at her. Mrs. Mcclure
heard the noise of the kicking and
found the daughter in the dangerous
position that she was. The horse
prevented her getting the girl out,
and she ran to neighbours and called
him. He came as fast as he could
but by the time that he got TO the
stable Mrs. Mcclure had succeeded in
getting Miss Artie out OF further
danger. The man who came was Joe
Henderson and he helped to get the
girl to the house,
DR.. Page A. Gibbons was called
and he did all that he could to al
leviate her sufferings which of course
were very great. He has gone out
again to-day and has not yet come in
SO that her condition to-day cannot
be learned. We hope that the injur-
les may not be so severe as the cir
cumstances would seem to indicate
and that she may soon recover from
her hurts.

THE ODD FELLOWS,
The seventy ninth anniversary Of the
founding Of the order In America cele-
brated-Yeteran Jewel not presented.

Monongalia lodge, No. 10 l. O. o.
f., last night celebrated the seventy
ninth anniversary of the founding of
the order in America. The lodge
room was filled with the members of
the lodge and their friends and the
exercises were very interesting. The
only thing that detracted from the
occasion was the non arrival of the
veterans jewel which the lodge is to
present to Squire Manliff Hayes. He
has been an active member of the
lodge here for fifty years, the longest
period served by any member in the
state.
The lodge voted to get him vet
GRAMS jewel, and a very handsome one
has been ordered. 1t was expected
last night and was to have been
presented then but as it did not come
this part of the program had to be
omitted. The jewel is very beauti-
full one and is set with number of
expensive jewels. 1t is the first one
to be given in the state.
Squire Hayes is probably the only
Odd Fellow in the state who deserves
such a jewel, and he should feel very
proud Of the distinction.
After the program was finished the
Daughters of Rebelah furnished ele-
CANT refreshments, which were par
taken of by large number. The
audience which had been down stairs
to see Caste came up in great num-
bers and it was after midnight when
the crowd had all left.

AN INVALID PLEA.
Spain win try to convince the world
that she is abused.

There are indications that Spain
will undertake to convince the world
that it is an abused nation It will
say nothing of the awful misery it
created in Cuba or the heavy injuries
it has inflicted upon the United
States. 1t viii conceal the fact, un-
parallelled in the history of mod
ern civilization, that it ordered null
titude of women and children into
concentration camps without supply
ing them with food.
The position assumed by Spain has
been that sovereignty in colony is
sacred warrant for any form of atroc-
ity. That idea has run its course In
Cuba. Spain's effort to be pathetic
in its own behalf is in strong contrast
with its monstrous cruelty to the
helpless Cubans.-- ST. Louis Globe

FAIRMoNT, w. Va, April 26.-The
National Guardsmen, at Fairmont,
expect to receive orders at any time
to report at Charleston, and il is I'M
derstood that the two regiments will
be combined, with Col. c. L. Smith
in command. The order was expected
this evening, but up to this time it
has not been received. Major w.
r. Standiford and Capt. j. G. Knutti
were rendered places in the CONSOLE
dated regiment to day, and both ac-
cepted. They get their rank from
the University, but will be reduced.
They are both teachers at the Nor
NAL school and will resign their po-
sitions. Capt. Standiford, as he now
ranks, has orders to report with the
First regiment. The enlistments in
the Moundsville and other compa-
mics were revoked, in pursuance of

Mobilizing at Charleston.
The National Guard officers who
have been SO anxious to get some
thing definite on the war situation
have received their orders and are
now on their way to the rendezvous.
The trouble which was threatened
in the guard has disappeared or been
avoided some way and the men are
off,
This morning on the noon train
six of the officers who have been
here as citizens or students left for
Fairmont. They will go from there
to Charleston where the entire guard
of the state will be reorganized into
one regiment. 1t will have officers
to burn and the men will be lost
amid the vast expanse of gold lace
The officers who left here are
Captain w. j White, adjutant OF
the First Regiment and Lieutenant
Gramm, Earl Smith, Harry A. Eaton,
and B. F. Laughlin, together with
Quartermaster sergeant William st.
Clair.
The thirty volunteers and the
military band were left behind. They
will be notified in few days as to
what will be done in their cases.
They may be taken and will be il
there is any place that they can pos
sibly be used. Some of the men
were very anxious to go and are very
much chagrined over the turn
things have taken. They besieged
the officers with questions and are
still in a great state of suspense.
The best thing that they can do is
to go about their business as if
there was nothing going on and then
If the call does not come they will
lose nothing.
A number of the men have done
nothing since they enlisted but get
ready to go and have been waiting
ever since for the word to move.
They will not all be taken into the
same company but are expected to
be taken when they may be needed.
All these matters are still in doubt
however and nothing will certainly
be known for some days yet judging
from the best information that can
be obtained.

In Power Again.

r T must be that those "better-ele-
ment" republicans in New York are
sleeping. They made plenty of
trouble last autumn; they ran Low for
mayor and directly contributed by their
boiling tactics toward the memorable
victory for Van Wyck. They swore
that they eve would let up until
they had driven Mr.. Plat out of the
politics of the state of New York.
These mugwumps are not now in evil
dence The preliminaries for the i'm
portant election to be held in New
York this year are progressing, and
there is not a sign thus far OF better
element" activity. II is admitted al
ready that Plat controls the delegation
that will represent Greater New York
in the republican state convention: in
deed. the delegation Is said to be solid
ly his. as well As the one that repre-
sents the great city of Buffalo, at the
other end OF the Empire state. The
mugwumps had much to do with the
law which governs in these political
preliminaries. The reformers have the
law. Plat has the delegates; the re-
formers are not in sight.
Apparently. in the republican politics
of his state. Mr.. Platt is going to be as
big a boss his yea as ever. It ap-
pears to be admitted by the press in
New York city that he will run the
republican state convention this year
and name h man who will be its AN
didate for h ONCE Of governor; the
puzzle with the press in that state Just
now Is whether Platt is proposing to let
Governor Black run again.
1t IL a pretty good guess that Mr..
Plat is not intending that. Such a
course would be a departure from the
~precedents: II has not happened in
thirty years that the New York repub-
leans have nominated for q second
term a governor Of that state.

IN the press dispatch Of yesterday
morning descriptive of the fight of
last Friday and Saturday at Guam
tanamo. occurs a sentence which says
that "the new campaign uniforms
prove satisfactory and are almost in
visible at a distance Of two hundred
yards" That is extremely high praise
for the new color.
Time out of mind. blue has been this
country's army color. The tradition il
that. In General scott's time, the coun-
was used as for emergency. with the
result that the cadet gray used at West
Point came to be q fashionable shade.
Years ago military experts in Europe
made thorough color tests which re-
suited in the verdict that N color
most difficult to see In the woods is
not green. but the light reddish brown
of a deer. This color seems to merge
with the shadows and to resist detec-
tion better than the color Of the leaves
themselves. The canvas uniforms about
to be distributed to our army are near
er to this color of a deer's coat than
any that are worn by any army.
During our civil var the confederate
color was gray at frst-later on this
had q substitute in butternut color,
which was cheaper and better adapted
to ieid service. II has always been
claimed that the use of this color saved
many a life for those who fought on
the confederate side during the war.
Blue may continue to be this country's
color for dress-parade purposes. The
criticism is that II shows dust and holds
1t. The darkness of the coats draws
the heat. The almost black effect that
is given the uniform when the troops
are in line or in masses makes II a con-
spicuous mark for gunners and rifle
men.
At the outset of the present war. our
government concluded to select for SER
vice In the region of Cuba a quality of
canvas clothing. which. IL is believed
by the authorities. is superior for SER
vice in hot countries to the blue fan
mel. This canvas IL a light, earthly
brown. nearly the color of the Ieggins
now in use. and it will not be easy to
see II at a distance against n back
OF earth or in the shadow of
trees. This uniform is the one re-
ferred to in yesterdays press dispatch. |
