BOYS WON'T RE-EN[|ST
Military Man Says There
Is No Patriotism
In It Now.


Little stock is put in the report that
Colonel Gilmore of the Fourth New Jer-
sey Volunteers, now in camp in Green
vile, S. g., will be successful in reorgan-
izing new regiment for the regular
army. 1t has been said that $50 men of
his regiment have volunteered to re-
enlist, providing they are given a months
furlough with pay.
Military men who have been asked their
opinion of the proposed new regiment,
say that 1t is doubtful if the men will re-
turn to soldier life after being home for
a month. person in a position to know
whereof he talks, said this morning, that
Colonel Gilmore would not get more than
eighty of the $50 that are said to have
signified their willingness to return to
army life

will experience much difficulty in securing
positions" ne said. These may go back
to soldier life. am inclined to think it
is a foolish act on the part OF q man 70

are SO many opportunities in the business
world There Is no patriotism in It now
The Colonel, am sure, will not be SO
successful in forming another regiment, If
plans to that effect are consummated.
Officers about the Arircry say that, al
though they have no authentic intorma- :
ton on that subject, they, do not think

Nc further plans have been prepared by
the committee appointed to welcome home
the regiment, but meeting will sake

Ism Kown,


The Grand Jury meets tomorrow after
noon, and there is just a possibility that
presentment will be made. An indict-
ment or two may be handed up.
The jury met yesterday afternoon and
Foreman Bouton and other members had
the pleasure of examining and cross-ex-
amining several Freeholders and some
of the old contractors who until recently
enjoyed such a good thing in furnishing
supplies. 1t is not likely that all the
members of the Board of Freeholders will
be drawn into the trouble that is pend
ing. 1t is fumored that a majority OF the
Board will probably be caused to appear
in court. In addition to the Freeholders
and contractors it is likely, it is said,
that some of the officers in charge of the
Snake Hill institutions will be called to
account
The jury devoted great part OF their
session yesterday afternoon to the inves-
tigation of the Almshouse scandal, but did
finish with it.

noon was DIR. King Medical Superlnten-

Part of the FOrty-ninth Came Up
Yesterday From DaufusIxie.
Six companies of the Forty-ninth Iowa
Regiment arrived at o'clock yesterday
afternoon at the Gordon wharf on the Gov.
Stafford from camp of detention on Dau-
fuskie. Transportation was ready for the
heavy baggage of the troops that await
ed them, and the movement to camp was
made without delay. The wagons carried
the baggage and the men marched.
The companies were esta blished in the old
camp of the Second South Carolina Regi-
ment on Dale avenue, but the officers do
not like it as well as they did the locality
they had when the regiment was here with
the Seventh Army Corps. 1t has therefore
been decided to move over to the Thun-
derbolt she'll road as soon as the Two
Hundred and Second New York Regiment
gives up the camp site formerly occupied
by the Fourth Virginia.
It is expected the other companies Of the
regiment will come up from Daufuskie to-
morrow. The Sixth Missouri will be
brought up tomorrow also, as that regi-
ment and the remaining companies of the
Forty-ninth went into the camp at the
same time.

some hard propositions in the final rounds
of the live bird championship.
Seven men were tied for first place, with
twenty-four straight kills each, when the
shoot was adjourned last night. When 1t
was resumed this morning, the weather
conditions were most favorable for the
marksmen and for time it looked as if
the seven leaders would have a long argu-
ment to establish the right to supremacy.
AT the beginning of the contest the sew

TO SHOW THEY WE'RE NOT THERE
Testimony of witnesses In Behalf of
Lake City Defendants.


Charleston, S. c., April H.-When the
government rested its case in the Lake
City lynching trial here this morning,
counsel for the defense suggested that the
names of Clark, Kelly and E. Rodgers be
dropped from the indictment, as they had
not been connected with the murder by
the evidence.
District Attorney Lathrop accepted,
thus leaving eight men at the bar. The
defense announced that il would seek to
show Baker was killed by a masked mob
that rode into Lake City, and further to
establish alibis for the defendants.
]. A. Green swore Epps was at his
house on the night of the lynching till
near midnight Admitting this, he might
still have been with the lynchers.
j. d. Goodwin, a brother-in-law of Nc
Knight, swore he was at the house Of the
latter until midnight on Feb. 2l.
Clerk of Court Grayson of Williamsburg
and other witnesses were put up to show
that NEWMAN, the man who turned states
evidence, was I'm Klngstree the day before
the lynching. NEWMAN testified he was
in Lake City all Of that day.
Seventeen witnesses were examined for
the defense, the most material of them
admitted being closely related to one or
another of the defendants.
The theory of the defense regarding the
masked mob that came to Lake City and
killed Baker has not yet been substanti-
ated by material testimony
