FOURTEEN PERSONS ARE KILLED;
EIGHTY-TWO BADLY INJURED
GENERAL WILSON
MAY BID APPOINTED
BrigadicF. General in The
Regular Army Under The
Reorganization

In the reorganization of the United
States Army. eighteen brigadier- gen.
erals will be appointed. 1t is probable
that Brigadier-General OF Volunteers
James H. Wilson. of this city. viii be
appointed to one of these positions.
Concerning the reorganization an
official I'm Washington yesterday said
positively that except officers of jun
ior rank no volunteers will be given
commissions in the reorganized army.
This means regular officers only will be
made maj0r-generals and brigadier-
generals. 1t is considered highly prob
able that the president will determine
to promote four of the brigadier-gen-
erals to be major generals in the es-
tablishment. These four may be Cen
erals Wade. who will thus become the
lieutenant general commanding, and
hold the position for four years; II. G.
Merriam, who will retire in November
next; S. b. NJ. Young, who will retire
in 1904, and Arthur Macarthur, who
will retire in 1909. The president is
anxious to reward Generals J. P. Bates
and Adna r. Chaffee, and they may
also be made major-generals.
If the president adopts the plan
practically determined upon Briga-
dier-Generals Of Volunteers James II.
Wilson. Fitzhugh Lee, Frederick ID
Grant James f. Smith and Frederick
Funston viii be honorably discharged
from the army before July I next. The
president is anxious to get legislation
which will permit him TO retire Cen
erals Wilson and Lee with their pres
ent rank. AS there will be eighteen or
twenty appointments as brigadier-
generals to be made, volunteer officers
propose to bring pressure to bear upon
the president to insure their appoint
ment to these offices.
In the reorganization of the enlisted
branch it is practically settled that the
War Department will pursue the plan
so successfully carried out in case Of

COLUMBIA DEFEATS THE
INDIANS FROM CARLISLE

New York Nov. SO.-The Columbia
football team yesterday defeated the
Carlisle Indians on Columbia field In
this city by a score of II to 8. There
were nearly 25.000 people watching the
game, and they saw as clean and ac-
curate an exhibition as has ever been
put mp on the grounds. Mean weather
threatened from the beginning Of the
game and about the middle Of the sec
ond half drizzle started in. putting
damper on the enthusiasm of the great
crowd. Two sensations marked the
game, the first a sprint Of so yards bv
Weekes for .Columbias first touch
down. His play was partly due to the
splendid Interference of Wright. who
ran with Weekes all the way down the
Held and blocked OH Carlisle's back
man. The other feature was a tumble
made by Morley in a dangerous at
tempt at fake kick when Carlisle was
only seven yards from the Columbia
goal This sent the ball rolling to-
ward Columbia's goal, and Balm shot
through the line and fell on the bali
just over the line between the posts
scoring the touchdown for the Indians
The other two touchdowns made by CO.
lumbia were scored by pushing Berrien
and Austin over the line when the bali
was but few yards from coal.

Soon after the game began it became
apparent that the players OF both teams

which is generally expected in big
games. Capt. Starbuck, who had just
recovered from injuries, was forced TO
leave the field soon after play was
started. Captain Hare also showed
signs Of lack Of condition. and. al

frequently was laid out True. he put

but he failed to shine as brilliantly as
he has heretofore. Il was his last

was expected he would put up the
greatest football OF his brilliant ca
reer. McCracken, who has shined both
as star guard and fullback for the
past four years. and who lined up for
the last time yesterday on the Quaker
team, also had to quit the game be-
cause Of injuries he sustained to his
lame shoulder Nearly all the spec

another arrangement with Hall, but
he would not give up the space, and

To all whom it may concern:
Greeting,-On last Monday night I'M

of the Baptist Church, many of the
good people of Brookhaven came upon
our home with an old-fashioned pound
ing. Articles too numerous to mention,
but of great value were placed in our
dining room for our use, and the many
kind words with the prayers "God
bless you," left the impression, as we
looked into the happy faces of the do
nors. at is more blessed to give, than
to receive" After prayer by Bro.
Compton, the good people went to
their homes, and we stored away our
goods. Then sat down to reflect over
the fact that we we're "fed," "sweeten-
ed" and ratified"
We lay down, not. to sleep, but to
think; we turned from side to side,
we cried, we wondered, and often ask
ed, why? until overcome by sleep; then
we dreamed that we were better equip
ped for preaching the Gospel than ever,
that it was the thing for us to do, that
the people were not offended and
heard us gladly, and that we were hap
by. So we show" before you, thanking
all, praying Gods blessings upon you
and setting the tune to forty dollars
worth. r. j. BOONE AND WIFE.
