MILITARY WANTS 10 REORGAN-
IZE.

a large number of the old military
companies of the State, which went
out OF existence by reason of entering
the service of the United States, have
notified Governor Tyler of their desire
to reorganzs and re-entey the service
OF Virginia
Tne governor has not been able to
give an affirmative reply to these re-
quests. Il is not probable tnat such
can be eIvsE for some time. The gov
eruor and AGjutentGeueral Nalle have
been delaying the formulation OF q
Dian OF reorganization until they bad
learned what the national government
proposed doing for the state guard.
II seems that this Congress will do
nothing. The State will get only the
usual appropriation from the federal
government. This Is very meagre.
State funds available are more scarce.
The troops are without equipment.
They took into the national service the
uniforms and arms they had while in
the service of the State, The latter
were turned in 20 the national govern
ment when the troops were mustered
out. Boards OF volunteer officers de.
cided that the State uniforms worn by
the men when they entered the nation
al service we're worth nothing and al
lowed them TO retain them. Had they
decided otherwite {, the cost of each uni
form would have been refunded to the
State, bat it would have been taken
out of the pay Of the men.
The result Of ths war so far as Vir-
ginia is concerned Is that she has but
little military, and 10 equipments.
Uutil the legislature has arranged for
tee reorganization and equipment OF
State troops there will probably be 10
steps taken TO have old organizations
revived.
Adjutant-General Male has not been
able 10 devote much time to this sub
ject recently, having been kept vi his
home in Culpepr by reason OF the serious
illness of several members of mis- fami.
iv. He has not been in Richmond for
several weeke, but is expected TO
return shortly. Captain w. w. Bar
row has been discharging the duties OF
the Office in the absence Of mis- chief

Fatally Burned.

A most deplorable accident occurred
at Telford about 8 o'clock Tuesday
evening, in which Miss Ada Hartman
received injuries that may cost her life.
One of the boarders had gone out Of his
room and left his lamp burning. While
passing the room Miss Ada discovered
that the lamp was on the verge of ex-
ploding. She grasped the blazing
lamp for the purpose Of throwing it out
OF the window, but before this could be
done the lamp exploded and threw the
burning oil all over her, and she was
soon enyeloped in flames. Her screams
brought her brother to her aid, who
did all in his power to extinguish the
flames, but this was accomplished only
after the young lady had been horribly
burned. In his heroic effort to save
his sister her brothers hands were
frightfully burned, from which he suf-
fered untold agony. The young lady
is in such a critical condition that it is
not thought possible for her to recover.
She had been in johnson City only a
few hours before the sad accident.
LATER. Miss Hartman died yester-
day afternoon, and her remains were
taken to Mosheim, Greene county, fol-
burial.

Deaths.

The grim spectre has again visited in
our midst and claimed several victims.
Early Sunday night, April 3Oth, Mrs.
Sam'l L, Boring passed to her eternal
rest. AS in other recent deaths, her
illness was Of short duration, she hay
ing been sick but a few days when
death came to her relief 1t will not
suffice to say she will be missed, for
her death will bring deep grief and sor-
row to more than her immediate loved
ones. Mrs. Boring was an universal
favorite with all her acquaintance,
possessing, in marked degree, all the
charming attributes of noble Christian
womanhood. Monday afternoon the
funeral services were conducted at the
Southern Methodist churchby Rev. W.
S. Neighbors, assisted by the pastor,
Rev. I, J. Eskridgc, and interment
was made at the Lake cemetery. To
the husband is extended our warmest
sympathy. For the two little children,
the youngest a tiny babe of few
days, the hearts of all are burdened
with grief, and while finding sweet
comfort in the truth that their loving
mother has gone to the reward prom
ised by Him who "tempereth the winds
to the shorn lamb, +" we share with them
the sad sorrow of their early bereave-
ment.
