A CHILD DROWNED.
RICHMOND LAD LOSES HIS LIFE
IN WILLOUGHBY BAY


Harvey Glenn, Jr., the nine year old
son of Mr.. Harvey Glenn and Mrs.
Maud Glenn. of No. 511 Third street.
richmond, was drowned in Little Bay.
Willoughby Beach. yesterday morning
at about 10 o'clock
Three young boys were engaged in
bathing in the bay near an old upturn-
Ell barge which had been transformed
into summer residence The young
sters got into n small boat, which drift
ed out in the bay. When they realized
that they were in deep water, they be-
gan TO jump out. The first sprang into
water shallow enough to allow him tn
walk out. but the secoud and third went
under. The last was little Harvey
Glenn, known to his friends as Man
Glenn. The water into which he jump.
ed was six or eight feet deep. and he
was no; able to save himself. The see
ond boy to jump would doubtless have
been drowned but for the fact that a
boat was pushed out to him by a lady
who also tried to save the little Glenn
boy.
At the time of the drowning Mrs.
Glenn was sick in bed at the home of
MI and Mrs. r. c. Roberts. where the
family was stopping. Man was her
only child. The body was not recover
cd until about . o'clock in the after
noon. The father Of the boy is en-
pIoyed as Il pressman in Baltimore.

FROM THE RANKS.
Vacancies In Volunteer Regiments
WIN Be Filled.

Washington, Sept. 22.-The war de-
partment has issued a general order
in regard to the examination of officers
of the volunteer army, an important
provision of which is that vacancies of
second Heutenants are to be filed by
promotion from the ranks of the regi-
ments in which they occur. The order,
which has been communicated to the
commanding officers of all the volunteer
regiments says:
Whenever an officer has been given
a fair trial and fails to demonstrate
his fitness to perform the duties of
his rank he will be brought before a
board of officers to be appointed by
the general commanding a separate
army or the military department in
which his regiment may be serving on
the recommendation of the colonel of
the regiment. The board will examine
into and report upon the qualifications
of the officer to discharge the duties
of his Office and its report will be for
warded with the recommendation of
the commanding general for the action
of the president
Promotions in the volunteer regi-
ments viii be made within each regf-
ment and by seniority. All vacancies
of second lieutenants will be filled from
the enlisted men of the regiment on
the recommendation of the command
ing officer. 1t is suggested that you
organize a class of non commissioned
officers in your regiment, in which
those eligible may receive the instruc-
ton that will fit them to perform the
duties of commissioned officers

left him $4,000 so elated Joe Schultz of
this city that he Immediately became raw
ing crazy and imagined he was in pos
session of three hundred millions.
When the marshal went to Schultz
home at Fourth and Wilson this morning
he found him tearing up things prepara-
tory to putting in big machine shop.
The unfortunate man was on the streets
all night, telling persons whom he met of
his immense fortune and of what he pro-
posed doing with it At 4 o'clock this
morning Policeman Wisdom took him into
custody on the east side and brought him
up town, but he seemed harmless and was
later released. He remained on the streets
and as soon as the stores opened this
morning he began buying again.
When Chief Conway took him he in
formed the officer that he had bought
the Memphis and Missouri Pacific rail-
ways and was preparing to consolidate
the shops of the two systems in this city.
He said he was last night appointed
king of the world and was in control OF
every thing.
Mr. Conway took him to the calaboose
and locked him up. Then he notified the
county authorities who were asked to
take charge of him, County Commits
sioner Combs having ordered his deten-
ton
