Last October, he was riding with a
teamster who was helping him move
his household goods from his former
home in Milwaukee to his present
abiding place near I-ackawanna sta

crossing at Lackawanra, the watch
man suddenly dropped the gates, and
one Of the arms struck Thompson full
in the face, throwing him TO the
ground and injuring him severely.
His nose was broken. his back and
elbow wrenched, and his nervous sys-

of the survivors of the Balaclava Light

THE LIGHT BRIGADE.
The Famous Charge at Balaclava De-
scribed by Participant.

Lord Tredegar-the Captain Godfrey
Morgan who found himself in charge
of the Seventeenth Larecrs at Bala-
clava when all his senior officers were
either killed or wounded in The famous
charge of the Lighy brigdde-has been
induced by the Western Mail to de-
scribe what he did and saw ON that
memorable day. His !ordship's nurra-
tive, which is published today ,thc
forty-third anniversary Of the battle
of Balaclava), is as follows:

They had hardly time to get UP a

shock as they met, and then the heav-
ems appeared through them. A hand

Russians turned and galloped back.
At that moment Captain Morris, who

More Remonstrances Filed.

Attorney George w. Beale yesterday
filed a petition from eleven residents
of the Second ward praying court not
to grant the application of Peter Ger
eni for a retail liquor license for 1401
Providence road.
The petitioners say that the place
IN which the applicant proposes to es-
tablish his saloon Is a "cellar-like" por-
tiOn of IA dwelling house in no wise fit
for the accommodation of the public,
If the public needed any more accom-
mediation of that kind in that particu-
lar locality, which Is hardly the case
the petitioners say, because the Cereni
place is in close proximity to long
established. first class hotel
A further reason for protesting
against the license being granted to
Cereni Is that he leased the place for
merly to c. p. Connell who is under
Indictment for selling liquor there
without a license and selling to minors.
Although Connell has been under In
dictment since October last. the petit
tioners say, his landlord, the applicant
in the present case, has made no ef-
fort to dispOssess him or stop the
fagrant violations of the liquor law,
which, in the belief of the petitioners.
occur there daily, and which, they fur
ther belief, the landlord cannot be ig-
norant of. They claim he is equally
as guilty as Connell and, being thus
tainted. is not fit person to be grant

Thomas +. Lally, who was refused n

the same opposition that defeated him
last year.
Thirty-nine of the residents of the
immediate neighborhood and the trus-
tees of the Blakely Baptist church and
Primitive Methodist church of Blakely,
acting for their respective congrega-
tions. sign the remonstrance.
They allege the place is not neces-
sary. that it is in a residential portion
of the town, and the interests of the
community will be better served by
having the place continued as a gro
cerv store.
The present tenants of the building,
Barry Frews, grocers, are among
the signers of the remonstrance.
Though tnese remonstrances are filed
day late, they will be quite as eff
fectual as II they had been in on time,
as court has invariably taken cogniz-
ance of all remonstrances that are
presented before the session begins.
