away. 1t was very still in the guard
room. From without came the sound
of the slow, steady tramp of the Ninth
infantry sentinel, as he paced back and
forth under the gray stone archway.
The interpreter looking down marked
lines with his toe on the dust strewn
floor. When the Filipino again turned
his face to resume his story, his eyes
had been softened by tears, but the two
Americans who sat waiting had also
left dear ones miles and miles away,
and they easily pardoned the weakness
of the barefoot6d man in the soiled blue
and white uniform. The Filipino con-
tinued:
NATIVES UNDER FIRE.
"Well, when 1 decided to go, the
officers kept me with them. 1 never
went home again, but remained in
Caloocan. There We're no ceremon-
les to undergo; no oath was taken,
no promises were made by either
side. Neither were any papers
signed. We do not have enlistment
papers; the captains have the list of
names Of men in their companies,
and that is all. 1t seems that all
they want is men. l was put at
some clerical work, had a little drill
and did some manual labor but for
the most of the day we sat around
and talked. Frequently our officers
would come to us and tell us how
we'll we were doing, but for the most
of the time we just waited. l was
still at Caloocan when the fighting
began. 1 was sitting talking to a
friend when the sound of firing
came; he was from my home, and
had just been telling me that my
,rrff ,fe1 a faA 81,
was great confusion. Everybody
that l saw was hurrying; soldiers
were rushing toward Manila-the
old men, women and children were
hurrying the other way. The next
morning, Sunday, a great many peo-
pie came out of Manila. Most of
them carried great burdens. Oh,
how they were struggling to carry
the heavy loads! And that morning
when the firing recommended the
soldiers were very much frightened,
and the confusion began all over
again. A great many soldiers were
going toward Manila to help fight.
Soon after noon a great many Of
the soldiers came running back.
They were much frightened. We
could scarcely stop them. 1 talked
with two or three of them. They
said that there had been an awful
fight, and that the Americans were
now burning the houses in the sub
urbs ana doing everything to drive
our people out.
Just before the soldiers went up
to help that morning our officers got
us together and told us again what
good troops we were and that all we
had to do was to go forward. My
first fight was at Caloocan, about
February s. We were all in the
trenches and heard the Americans
advancing, and Of course, we were
scared from the beginning. The
bullets began striking all around us
Almost the first thing some one was
killed. My brother was killed. He
was hit right in the eye. Well, we
didn't stay there very long; the fire
was too hot. We soon left, and
some of us went on through to Po-

AN IMPORTANT POINT.

tsis Soo!ety Of CenirevlIe.

a very important case was submits
ted to the appellate eourf In briefs. the
plaintiff being Ambrose Choquet,, ad-
ministrator in the estate OF Denis Ro-
billiard and the defendant Society st.
Jean Baptiste de Centreyille and the
main point involved is whether or not a
beneficial society can change its by
laws so that a person receiving benefits
can be deprived thereof. The admins
strator has sued to recover the sum OF
S322 that it is claimed the society would
have paid Mr.. Robillard had It not
changed it's laws. The case was sub
mitted to the court on number OF is
sues OF fact. the most important OF
which are as follows:
Dennis Robillard some time in 1857
became a member Of the Society st.
Jean Baptist de Centreville. said soci-
ETY. being a body corporate and located
at Centreville i'm the town of Warwick,
Kent county. state OF Rhode Island.
and organized for benevolent and So
cial purposes. Second. that during the
membership OF said Robillard members
in good standing were entitled to re-
I'm such manner and proportion and for
such causes as were specified in and by
the constitution bylaws and rules OF
said society. Third. that said Robil-
lard during his membership some time
i'm 1890 became insane. and was paid by
said society the benefits 10 which he
as an insane person was entitled under
the laws OF said society. as said laws
then were, for a period of a year or
more next after the time when be he
came afflicted as aforesaid. and until
September /, 1892. Fourth. that on or
about the first day OF May, 1892, the by
laws OF the society were so changed as
to drop mental alienation or insanity
from the list OF grounds OF benefits and
that such change of the bylaws was
regularly and formally made In accord
ance with the rules, constitution and
bylaws OF said society as they existed
at the time said Dennis RobIllard be-
came a member. and ar the time OF the
change and that at that the change
went into effect September !. 1892.
Fifth. that said Dennis Robillard ar

SALE I(OI PLACE.
Alderman Reynolds Did Not Interfere
With MI. Freeman.
The Boston Expert, Mr.. French, Acted as
Assistant at the Auction.

The much talked of auction sale OF
the goods of harrington & Co, No. 1858
Westminster street, took place today
according TO schedule, and at precisely
lO:3O o'clock Auctioneer James f. Free
man opened the sale in the usual man
ner. There seemed TO be a great deal
OF interest i'm the matter. i'm view of the
attitude assumed by Alderman Rey-
nolds of the fifth ward. chairman of the
aldermanic committee on auctioneers.
and there were several members OF the
board of aldermen present, together
with a large number OF the local auc-
tioneers.
IL had been anticipated that Alder
man Reynolds would again prevent the
sale upon the ground that Mr.. French
the Boston expert ON Jewelry and pres
cous stones, was TO be employed TO act
as seller under the direction OF Auction
Ger Freeman, but the expected did not
happen, and Alderman Reynolds was
conspicuous by his absence. AS stated
above, at $50 o'clock Auctioneeer
Freeman, whose red flag was displayed
outside the store, opened the sale, and
announced that IL would be continued
until all the goods We're disposed of.
T.
the goods, the three first sales being
made to Thomas Grimes. and then 9TH
ers followed. After selling several arti-
Ces. Auctioneer Freeman announced
that inasmuch as he was not familiar
with jewelry and precious stones. he
would call on Mr.. French, who was an
expert i'm that line, TO continue the sale.
Mr.. French mounted the rostrum and
the sale went merrily on. and still there
was no appearance on the part OF AL
derman Reynolds.
Later Alderman Reynolds was seen
at city hall and he said in speaking
of the case I've been working in the
interest of the auctioneers for the past
four years. Ii they want To take the
matter TO the supreme court and get a
decision. putting it all where ii was
four years ago, all right. III they want
10 let down the bars they can go
ahead and do IL. If they want men
from San Francisco TO come here and
work against their interests, all right.
IL Alderman Freeman is willing TO al
low an outsider to come i'm and do bus
iness under his auctioneer's license.
don't see why the same thing couldn't
be done With real estate transactions
j have only done my duty, and haven't
stopped any auction
One OF the leading attorneys OF this
city said this morning. that. while
there was no doubt that Alderman
Reynolds had done a great deal to
keep out fake" fire sales by unknown
and responsible people, he believed that
in this instance he had been over
jealous. The fact that all the persons
concerned in. the sale were reputable
residents of Providence of many years
standing. should have been taken into
consideration, for nobody had even
limited that there was anything of
flake" nature I'm this sale.

cial, but IL is said he failed to do so:
whether on account of the signal fail-
ing to work or not, IL is not known.
While the express was standing on the
tracks the crowded special came thun-
dering along. On account of curve
the engineer of the special could not see
the train standing on the tracks ahead
OF him until too late. The special tore
into the express with crash and
shreks OF agony soon filled the air. The
railroad at the scene of the accident
runs over a hollow and the embank-
ment on which are the tracks is about
fifty feet high. Several passengers were
hurled to the bottom OF the embank-
ment. but the cars all remained on the
roadbed. The dead and wounded were
strewn I'm heaps in the debris OF the two
cars. Little damage, however. was done
to the rest of the trains
Most of the injured was brought to
Reading, but many were sent to Nor
ristown and Pottstown and some were
taken TO Philadelphia.
Gen. Il. Burdgrubb of New Jersey, ex-
United States minister to Greece and
United States Senator Boies Penrose OF
Philadelphia were among the passeng-
ers on the Pullman car onthe first train.
Both were ba,.iy shaken up. but neither
sustained any injury.
An official of the railroad company
gives the number of dead as 90 and
says 40 are badly injured. Several OF
the latter, ii is thought will die before
night. The rear car of the first train
was occupied principally by people re-
siding at Norristown and this fact ac-
counts 70 rthe great number from that
place included in the list of killed and
injured.
