tant- General Corbin. of the War Department. held
an informal conference with the President yester-
day relative the legislation to be asked Of Con-
gress in connection with the proposed increase of
the Regular Army Senator Proctor at the con-
clusion of the conference said:
Under the existing law the present strength of
the Army 5000 regulars and $1,000 volunteers will
be reduced July next to 1900 regulars. This is
an absurdIy small number. and Congress will be
asked by the President to reorganize the Army
upon larger basis II viii be imIpossible to keep
Increased, to say nothing of the garrisons for the
forts in this country My own judgment is that
Congress will provide a Regular Army of about
90 900 900 men, with discretion to the President
to raise the total 10000 If he finds the larger
number necessary. l have doubt that this legis-
lation will be enacted the coming session.

NEBRASKA GIRL

one hotel Of tho place. also the santa

the proprietor. the clerks wife and an
"old msid' school teacher who had

over hundred.
Among them was an old soldier from
Nebraska, relates the Chicago Inter
Ocean. He had been q major in an
Eastern regiment. had been wounded at
Bull Run. and now, years afterward,
was suffering still from the effects Of
that old wound. When he heard the
sighs Of lonely mssculinity for Just one
pretty girl" he used to smile and
chuckle, and finally one day after dinner
he said:

granted when the stage comes from the

nG at Jonathan's Ravine-He VIII
Recover.


Recover.
Yesterday morning Frank Mushrush.
of North Market street, a lad of about
years was driving a produce wagon
on Coal street, the man with whom the
was driving, being on the step at the
middle of the wagon. Young Mush-
rush was driving along Coal street at
a pretty rapid gait, He made a short
swing around the corner into Jona-
than's ravine, and was thrown from
the wagon to the ground. He held onto
the reins and was dragged for dis
tance of about five feet just under the
horses feet.
Officer Kronenweth, who was near at
hand ran to the assistance of the I'M
fortunate boy but arrived too late to
save him from passing under the
wheels OF the wagon which was heavily
loaded with produce.
The front wheels passed over the
chest and the rear wheel. Just across
the chin. AS the second wheel passed
over him he was doubled up, but i'm
mediately Strengthened out stiff. When
assistance arrived he was thought to
be dead.
DR.. Ridgeway was called and had
him removed TO his home at number
OIL Market street. After careful ex-
animation there was found to be no
bones broken, but the chest was crush
ed and it is thought he is injured in
ternally. Last night Dr. Ridgeway
stated that the extent of his injuries
would not be known for "a hours. but
he had hopes for his recovery. The
worst injuries were those about the
chest.
