DETAIL OF OFFICERS AND MEN TO
GUARD THE ARMORY.
DIR. Jones Appointed to Examine Men
for Muster Out-A Santiago Hero
Brought Home Dead.

The boys of the Twenty-seventh Battery
were furloughed yesterday. Captain Curtis
detailed a number of men to act as guard
over the armory while the furloughs run.
Lieutenant Gallon will be in command of
the guard from Sept. q to Oct. 10; Lieut..
Johnson from Oct 10 to 80. and Lieutenant
Garrard from Nov. / to p. Following are
the "noncoms" and enlisted men who will
act as guard: Sept. % to %, Sergeant Heis-
kell, Corporal Hinkell, Privates Telm and
Thomas. Sept. 20 to Oct 6, Sergeant
Dunlop. Corporal Enos, Privates Gates and
Hutton. Oct. to Is, Sergeant Navin, Cor
roral Palmer, Privates Tyndall and Thomp-
son. Oct. 10 to 20, Sergeant Boswell, Cor
poral Railsback, Privates Masters and
Julian. Oct. 20 to q, Sergeant Swan, Cor
poral Hewitt, Privates Booxwalter and
Light Oct. q to Nov. 8, Sergeant Barnhizer,
Corporal Hamm, Privates Johnson and
Hutchinson. Nov. to II, Sergeant Oliver,
Corporal Enrich, Privates Span and James
Cox Nov. u to %, Sergeant Meyers, Cor
poral Murbarger. Privates Sam Patterson
and Clark While there is little necessity
for o guard it is detailed to comply with the
orders of the War Department
Everything is in very good shape, al
though there is still work for the officers.
Captain Curtis will find it necessary to re-
main at the armory a good deal of the
time. The boys were furloughed by verbal
order and must return in sixty days. Some
of the battery boys are talking of having
a banquet at the Bates House two weeks
from tonight. Corporal Henry Palmer has
been asked to be the POSTMASTER.
Acting under instructions from the War
Department Lieutenant Waterman yester-
day appointed Lieutenant Homer l. Jones,
of the medical staff Of the observation-disclosures
fifty-eight Regiment, as examining surgeon
for the mnster-out of all men who are dis
end of the thirty days furlough of the in
fantrymen. Several Of the men have ex-
pressed desire to be given their discharge
now, as they wish to go back to their ordi-
nary vocations, and as the government re-
quires physical examination to be made
before the men are discharged, instructions
were asked by Lieutenant Waterman as to
who should make the examinations. The re-
ply of the War Department directed him to
appoint any of the regular regimental sur
geons now here to do the work. with the
understanding that such surgeon should not
examine any of the men from his own regi-
ment. In following out these instructions
Lieutenant Waterman will probably appoint
some one of the surgeons from each regi-
ment to make the examinations for the
other regiments, allowing Lieutenant Jones
to examine the battery in addition to one
of the infantry regiments.

BLUME MAY RECOVER.
The Murderer of Grace Harvey Now
Wants to Live.

William A. BIume, who killed Grace Har-
vey Wednesday night and then attempted
to end his own life, is still alive at the City
Hospital with good chances of recovery. His
left lung is punctured twice, but his general
condition is much better than it was
Wednesday night and yesterday morning.
He was conscious, but did not talk much.
He said he was glad he had killed the girl.
When first taken to the hospital he asked
to be allowed to die, but concluded yester-
day that he would prefer living, even with
the charge of murder staring him in the
face.
BY some misunderstanding between
Kregelo and the coroner the body of the girl
was removed to Greensburg yesterday
morning before an autopsy was performed.
DR.. Noble went TO Greensburg yesterday
and held the autopsy. She was shot
through the upper lobe of the right lung
and the pulmonary artery. The girls moth
err is poor but well thought of by the people
of the town. The coroner yesterday ex-
pressed the opinion, based on an examina-
ton. that the unfortunate girl was not re-
sponsible fer Blume's condition.
