the Washington correspondent of the Dis
patch states, and he is. occasionally, vera
cious. He further informs us that the
colonel has been in Philadelphia; that he
used to live there and that he was active
in politics there once already. "Lowen-
stein says" continues the chronicler Of
things Washingtonian, big and little,
that Judge Harmer and Gen. Bingham
have been in congress ever since he left
the state and Philadelphia has greatly
profited thereby" Every one who knows
the colonel will admit that 1t was just
like his generous heart to leave Pennsyl-
vania and thus open the way for Judge
Harmer and Gen Bingham to get into
congress; but. although we all know him
to be the most self-deprecatory man in
all St. Paul, we think he has passed the
limit in admitting that Philadelphia has
greatly, or at all. profited by his leaving.

CLEV ELAND. O., June 21.-The effort
to settle the strike of the street railway
men is likely to be successful, and 1t Is
now believed a settlement may be reach
ed tomorrow. Through the efforts of
the committee of the city council, the
officers of the company and a committee
OF the strikers were brought together to-
day to discuss the ultimatum presented
by the company yesterday The only
question at issue is how many of the old
men shall be reinstated If the strike is
declared off,
Yesterday the company received prop
osition from the men to the effect that
all the men be reinstated except those
who might be convicted of destroying
property The committee said it could
not discharge the new men it had en-
ployed. At the conference today, which
lasted almost continuously from / o'clock
in the afternoon until 10 o'clock tonight,
these propositions were discussed. At first
the company offered to take back go per
cent Of the old men at once, and rein
state the others who were acceptable as
soon as the opportunity offered The
strikers committee would not consent to
that Subsequently the company offered
to reinstate all but 100 of the old men.
and with that offer in view the confer
ence adjourned until 1 o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
Many believe that the settlement will
be reached. A special meeting of the
council was held this afternoon, but it
took no action bearing on the strike.

ion and friend. James Collins, yesterday
afternoon. The shooting took place near
the intersection of the Montgomery Cross
road and the Harmon road, about six miles
from the city Clarke was Is years old; his
companion was a year younger.
The boys left the city in the morning,
intending to hunt until the afternoon.
Clarke had fired at rabbit, which had
escaped, and the boys were endeavoring
TO locate it. Collins was in front, carry
ing his gun on his shoulder, and Clarke
followed. The trigger of Collins gun be-
came entangled in bush, and the weapon
was discharged, the load entering Clarke's
left shoulder and neck.
At the report of his gun Collins turned
and saw his friend standing motionless.
Blood was trickng from the wounds in
his neck. He ran to him and spoke 10
him, but Clarke could not answer He
walked few PAGES, staggered and fell,
and in a few minutes died
Collins, thoroughly frightened, reported
the accident to an old colored woman. who
lived nearby. Mr. Joseph Craig notified the
coroner at $50 O'clock. and the latter went
out Immediately and brought the body to
the city. 1t was prepared for burial and

feet from Clarke, when his gun was dis
charged. Since the accident he has been
almost hysterical and scarcely able to give

few doors of each other and Collins feels
deeply the DEATH of which he was the UNI
fortunate cause
The funeral will take place at O'Clock

was other than an accident and no inquest

Private Bagweil Is now at liberty to re-
Join his regiment. He was on furlough
previous to the departure of the regiment
for Cuba, but was to have arrived here in
time to rejoln the regiment and depart
with il. He arrived a few hours late.
Had he arrived I'm time to depart with his
regiment, he would have been saved much
trouble and anxiety and week 5 stay in
the station house.
Private Bagwelfs statement was the
only evidence before the jury. Jenkins
had made a statement before his death
hut as il was not a dying statement IN
the meaning of the law, which requires
that the person making such statement
must be under the belief Of his impending
death, IL was OF no value as evidence.
Even had the statement been admitted, II
would hardly have had any weight with
the jury, being very improbable in its
character.
Jenkins statement was TO the effect that
he was in the neighborhood of the mar
ket buying some eggs when the soldier APP
preached him and told him that he had
job for him. The soldier stated, he said.
that the man who wanted 20 employ

Some weeks ago mention was made in
the Morning News of the receipt of
letter from a well-known Savannah lady
temporarily residing in Baracoa, Cuba, de-
scribing the extreme restitution of the

response to her appeal large box well
filled with clothing, shoes etc. was col
lected by number of ladies of Savan-
nah, and was generously forwarded free
of charge by the Southern Express and
the Williams Express Company of New
York.
A few days ago a letter was received
from Baracoa announcing the safe ar
rival of the box and graphically picturing
the great gratitude and JOY evinced by the
nuns for the charitable thoughtfulness of
the Savannah ladies' The writer said. IF
the contributors. could have seen the child
ish delight of the poor nuns when the con-
tents of the box was displayed, they would
have felt amply rewarded for their char
table efforts at home.
The lette further said: zone of our poor
fellows (soldier) died here last week. and
now we have two graves on the hillside.
Father Mccarthy read the service by re-
quest of the dead boy, and it was very
solemn and impressive We covered the
grave with beautiful flowers, a salute was
fired and the bugle sounded lights out ."
