CAMP MCKENZIE. I
Feb. 1O. 1899. [

We have been having pretty ex-
citing times here for the past few
days, although everything is quiet
again now. You have probably seen
accounts Of it by this time, although
the papers had it pretty badly mix
ed up. The Chicago papers had it
that companies III and L" were
among the mutiners and were still at
large.
Last Saturday afternoon Denny
0Connell, private Of Co. IF"
of this regiment was shot and instant
ly killed by a saloon keeper down
town, Twas pretty we'll acquitted
with tho man who was shot, having
been on guard with him several
timess. As soou az news of the
shooting reached camp The regiment
was furious, and several attempts
were made by the crowd to got down
town and lyoch the murderer, but
they were stopped Sunday morning,
however, they were worse than eve-.
The officers were unable to do any
thing with the men. A crowd made
a rush for the com missary store
house and. broke it open, securing
about 15O0 rounds of anu milton.
Seventy three of them then got
their rifles and started for town.
The colonel and other 0 ffcers talked
to them for about half an hour be-
fore they started, advising the m to go
their quarters, and tellilg the con-
sequences Of what they were doing.
They would not pay attention to
them, however, but start cd for town
On double time. Call to quarters
sounded and companies N and T."
the two best two compa nies in the
regiments, were detailed to 90 and
bring back the mutineers. We were
formed in front Of tho ycommissary
and each man v as supplied with Eve
rounds Of unition, and then
marched 70 tho street car line whore
four cars were waiting for 40. The

At the ADvANcE:- ,.... <,sl..%:
1t has been some time since I have
written anything concerning the
Worthington company in camp here.
The truth of the matter il I am
poor hand at waiting letters and be-
sides there is not much to write
about! a.
The health of the company con-
tinuss good. The whole company is
present except Chas. Peterson, who
has been sick, and Is now at his
home in Jackson on a 80 days. fur
Tough. The company Is not nearly
a. large 40 it was when we were
mustered in. The total strength. Of
company now is 4-ws were mus
tered in with l09. Three have died
Everett Calvert, JAS. Motif and
Geo. Michael. Two have been trans
ferred to other companies, Walter
Black and Jas. Walsh. Harry Bron-
sail has been transferred to the siR-
nal corps. Lieut.. Bi:ner resigned,
| and the following have received dis
charges, John Times, Ed. Brooke,
Daniel O'Nsil, Jno Stearns, Harry
Burmeister and Gus. Taylor. VIM.
May and John Eixemier have been
transferred to tho hospital corps.
Tho Indications now seem to be
mustered out in the spring unless
something turned up in the Philip
pines which makes it necessary fol
troops to be sent there in hurry
| At least that seems to bo the opinion
of tho officers and men here.
The Third Brigade, Of which the
Fifteenth Minnesota is a part, are
making practical march today
They loft early this morning and
will be gone all day, covering six
teen miles. They march the same
as an army does in an enemy's soun'
try.
People. from the north can hardly
imagine the poverty Of mort of the
negroes and some of the white pso'
pie here. I was talking with street
car conductor the other night who
had quit farming because of tho low
price of cotton. He IL now working
for 1Oc an hour. He said he had q
"head" Of negroes working for him
on his farm: He:paid them 80 a
day per head and board. Hi.
"board" consisted of two pounds Of
bacon and a peck of meal a week.
Out of this money they had to sup.
port their families and pay rent to
the farmer for their huts. Zach meal
hour there are negroes at the mess
halls of the differont companies with
their little tin pals TO get the scraps
that are left over by the soldiers,
which would otherwise be thrown
away. They tax these home with them
to their families, 80 We are, no doubt,
the meaps, of keeping good many
people from going hungry. We are
not dong a great amount of drilling
now, but about half of the drill time
is spent in athletic exercise, such az
base ball, indoor base ball and other
sports. The Fifteenth has one of the
best ball clubs in camp and are
benting everything in sight.

FINANCIAL NOTES.

Street rumor is that the New York
Central offers a bonus of $S2 per share
for an per cent. lease of the Boston
and Albany, and the protective com
mittee asks s62 per share, or its equiv
alent, with an per cent. lease A
member Of the protective committee
says the asking price reported is not far
out OF the way. 1t is further rumored
that there may be a compromise at $50
per share. The Boston and Albany Of
ficiais ara apparently out of the entire
matter bur the understanding is that
If the lease falls through, President
Bliss win resign, and the protective
committee will name the next manage
menJ of the Albany Further rumor has
II that they will make an alliance of
some kind with the New York, New Ha-
ven and Hartford President Bliss
would have resigned within a year UNI
der any circumstances.
Prominent and influential directors OF
the American Bell Telephone Company
say nothing is being done at present re-
garding readtustment plan. A direc-
tor says THE matter is entirely in the
hands Of President Hudson. He returns
from Europe next week, and the matter
will probably be taken in hand. The
report that Bell Telephone stockholders
will be given Long Distance stock up
on which dividends of per cent. will
be paid, thus giving Bell stockholders
SIG In dividends per annum instead of
SIS per annum, is about as likely as any
reports that have gained circulation. /
doubt very much, however. If under any
plan Bell stockholders will receive
larger dividends than they are now re-
coiving."

cal offices in the commonwealth so that
none who have entered the married
state can hope to draw a salary as an
otficeholder. There is no assurance that
charter is to be secured for this fed
GRAFTON Of influence. but there is said to
be pretty good ground for the belief
that IL the members of the novel trust
declare against a married man his
chances of securing a place on the re-
publican ticket-for this is solely re-
publican combination-will be as few as
the trusts which have procured char
ters in other states than Jersey.
In the ST. Louis circuit court of APP
peals recently a unanimous decision
was made in an appealed case to the
effect that a trust cannot conduct its
objects under the form of a corpora
ton, and evade the penalties provided
for violation of the Missouri anti-trust
law of 1891. Under this decision ac-
counts with trusts operating as corpor-
atoms in Missouri are not collectible.
Matilda Brand forwarded three dress
skirts to customer in Evansville, Ind
The latter rejecting them, returned the
skirts by Adams Express Company.
Upon arrival here last September, they
were sent to Miss Brands place OF
business. She observed that the box
containing the skirts was broken, and
that the skirts, covered with
mud, hung from it's sides; consequent
ly, she refused to accept the goods un-
less first accorded a full inspection
Three months later, after Miss Brand
had begun a suit in the seventh munic-
ipal court against Levi c. Weir, as
president Of the express company, to
recover the value of the skirts, they
were placed in a new box and again
offered to her, with the statement that
they had been repaired. She rejected
them on the ground that, the season
being over, and the styles changed, no
use could he made of them, and they
were therefore worthless. No inspec-
ton was granted, and the case, com
ing to trial, Justice Mexican gave judg-
ment for the plaintiff for the value Of
the skirts.
