The Return OF the Batteries.

Maine is glad TO welcome home the
bows of the batteries. Last October.
after long weeks in camp at Augusta,
they went away to face the fortunes
of the service. Since then they have
done garrison duty in Cuba. in the
suburbs of Havana. Last Friday the
battalion was mustered out at Savan-
nah. Georgia, and now in squads large
their loved ones in Maine.
The State is proud of the command
under Major Newcomb. 1t has done
its duty faithfully and its high efficien-
cy and fine discipline have won it an
honored name in the service. 1t was
not its fortune TO engage in battle, but
the work that fell to ii was difficult
and trying. The 700 young men in the
four batteries have upheld the honor
of our State as Maine soldiers have
never failed to do. The stripe worn
diagonally across the sleeves of the
states, is Il unique distinction for
Maine soldiers to achieve and is an en-
blem that should give the wearer the
esteem and respect Of every citizen.
The artillery has been signally fort
innate in the matter Of health and its
home coming is Il striking contrast to
a.. zf H.. tet IN,
fantry when it returned from the ma
laria-cursed camp at Chickamaugl,
last August. The men are robust and
healthy looking Drowned and strength
ened by their service rather than made
pallid and weak. In the five months
that the command has been away from
this city in Georgia and Cuba it has
lost but two men, both dying in the
Savannah hospital. 1t has no sick list,
and no pitiful hospital train was
necessary to help bring the men home.
The mastering out of the 1st Maine
Heavy Artillery, leaves Maine with no
volunteer representative in the army.
It's regiment OF infantry passed tlrte
months at Chickamauga, losing of the
fever over 40 of its number. Its signal
corps did valiant service in Cuba dur
ing the war and came home to be mus
tered out loaded with honors. 1t TOO
sacrificed several men in the cause.
The four batteries have been longest
in the service and have also done the
work required of them to the credit of
themselves and the State. To officers
and men alike proud State extends
its thanks and assures them of its graf
itude and its esteem. May ii be long,
long indeed, before it shall be neces-
sary again for the boys of Maine TO
take up arms for the defense of the
flag. But if the time ever comes, they
will be as prompt and loyal in answer
ing the call as they were in 81 and SO.

Burned to Death.

The St. Cloud j ournal Press of Tues
day evening says:
A sad fatality occurred this morning
at an early hour in the new town OF
Ronneby on the st. Cloud ana HlncK-
lev branch of the Great Northern. A
twelve-year,old boy was burned to
death in a. fire which destroyed a
boarding house conducted by his
mother. HIS name is Abe Rowlands,
and his mother is Mrs. E. Rowland.
The strange thing about the horrible
catastrophe is that the fire was In a
small two-s;ory frame structure and
that the boy was unable to escape
though awakened in time.
The fire started about 8 o'clock this
morning in the restaurant building, a
small frame building erected within
the past year. It isconducted by Mrs.
Rowlands, whose husband is now a
travelling salesman in Iowa. There
were five boarders in the house and
herself and four children when the ire
broke out and it burned with such
frightful rapidity that four OF the
boarders were forced to leave the
building via the second-story window
clad only in their nightclothes in order
to escape. The first one made such a
hurried exitth he took the sash with
him. The mother and her children
were also on the second floor and a.
Weakening her children they started out.
All escaped in safety except the boy
Abe, who started to follow his mother
but in his half-awakened condition
became 5ewildered, turned about and
walked back into the fiery furnace.
His charred remains were found in the
smoking ruins later. Mrs. Rowland
has a girl about II the boy who met
so terrible a fate was about IL ana
there are two younger children. Mrs.
Rowlanps is an estimable woman and
her heart is we'll nigh broken by her
misfortune.
