night. He had escorted Miss Harmon
McNear to the residence of DIR. Harris
from theatre party. In passing through
the house she surprised three burglars
at work in the hall. She screamed and
tried to pass them and rush up stairs.
One of the men seized her and threw
her down, struck her on the head with
bludgeon and brandished dagger in a
way that terrorized her. The screams
were heard by Mr.. Martin. who was
then passing out of the grounds to
Broadway. He ran back and in the
grounds encountered the three burglars
who had fled from the house and they
began firing az him. Nearly dozen
shots were fired, One hit him on the
right hand, another grazed the right
side just above the hip and third
lodged in his right leg The burglars
then turned through side street and
encountered William Fuller, book
keeper on his way home, ordered
him to hold up his hands and
on falling to obey shot was fired at
him which cut through the right shoul-
der of his overcOat. The wound in the
leg is the only one that will inconven-
fence Martin. 1t is only flesh wound.
Miss McNear escaped injury.

paigns. failed Of action on the part Of the
Senate. 1t is believed at the war depart
ment that this resulted from lack Of time
and not from any intention on the part Of
any considerable number of senators to
deny this purely honorary recognition Of
the courage Of our soldiers. Altogether
there were 625 of these nominations The
number appeared to be unreasonable
to persons who had not looked into the
conditions, but each case was made the
subject of a critical examination BY q
special board which has vouched for
their merits. One OF the members Of the
board declared that the fact that the board
found so many soldiers worthy OF reward
for gallantry should be matter of pride
for the American people rather than .
cause for critic ism, for IL went to demon
strate that the army was approaching
very near that ideal stats when every man
on the firing line was both brave and
gallant Probably .he entire list OF

The minister of war, M. DE Freycinet
