CHARGE OF THE ARMORY,

Mr. Watkins secured the position Of
attending to the armory and for eight
years lived with his wife on Adams
avenue. near the building. Then they
moved to Providence, where they have
since dwelt. He was a splendid musi-
clan. having all that true love for
music which seems inherent in every
Welshman. He was an expert cOrnetist
and also was possessed of an excellent
voice.
He then Joined the Thirteenth regi-
| ment band, when under the direction
Of Professor Cogswell, as cornetst,
| and remained with it all through it's
existence. serving later as chief musi-
clan of the drum corps.
He next Joined the regiment proper,
in Company A. then commanded by
Captain Charles G. Mates, and speed
lily gained distinction as a steady, true
| soldier, and specially as a marksman.
He served as coach of all the shooting
teams and was universally liked and
popular wherever he went.
He was soon promoted to the posi-
| tion of quartermaster sergeant of Com-
pany A. and in 1889 was appointed as
regimental quartermaster and range
master.
On March IS. 1898, Colonel Coursen
| appointed him inspector of rifle prac-
| tice. with the rank of first lieutenant,
and soon after this the Thirteenth regi-
ment was summoned out, the Spanish
war being then on.
| APPOINTED INSPECTOR.
Mr.. Watkins accompanied the regi-
ment to Mt Gretna but as his Office
| was done away with under the regular
| army formation, and he was disquali-
| fled from enlisting in the ranks, he re.
| gretfully had to return home.
| Upon returning to Scranton, he was
assigned the place Of inspector of rifle
practice on the staff Of Colonel Wat
rous, commander of the newly formed
Eleventh regiment. He remained in
this capacity until the reorganiza ton
of the Thirteenth regiment took place,
when he was given the same position
on the staff Of that body. and this plac.
he occupied ever since.
Reese Watkins was an exemplary
character, in every sense of the word
He was a man of bIamelss life. fine
4 soldier. and jovial companion. He
was probably one Of the best known
and most popular men in military
circles in the state, and was every
where we'll thought of and esteemed
In him his acquaintances lose a firm
and true friend. his wife devoted hus-
band, and the regiment a splendid Off.
Ger.
1t is probable that his funeral will
be attended by the members Of the
Thirteenth regiment, and that he will
be accorded all the honors of a military
burial.

ton of the excursion, made up Of
persons from towns other than Beth
slehem and Allento left soon after
the first section, but was tagged be
fore it reached Hatfield. AS it could
not get through on account Of the
blockaded tracks. it was returned to
Bethlehem and there was great rejoic-
ing atthe narrow escape of it's occu-
pants from the catastrophe.
The coroner of Mont gomery county
visited the wreck early and spent the
entire day at the scene. He at once
directed the removal Of the dead to
Lansdaye, a short distance south OF
Hatfield. He promises rigorous in
vestigation into the horror.
There are conflicting stories as to re.
sponsibility for the accident. One YER
sion is that the engineer of the excur.
sion train had been warned at Souder-
ton, the station. above Hatfield that a
milk train was few min utes ahead Of
MIN. Another story is that the train
dispatcher's Office in Philad elphia was
at fault. The trainmen refused to talk
of the accident.
Fifteen bundled tickets had been
sold for the excursion to the seas;hore
and it was to have been the last Of the
season.
Wellington II. Rosenberg, of Lans
dale, representative in the Pennsyl

Berlin, Sept. 3.-Owing to. the I'M
usually heavy westward passenger
traffic, as we'll as to the interruption in
sailings owing to the Hoboken disaster
and to the chartering of passenger
steamers by the German government
for use in Chinese waters. many Amer
lean citizens have recently been com
PEELED to take Storage passage in re-
turning to the United States. The
physicians of the North German Lloyd
Steamship company have insisted upon
vaccinating all these to meet the re-
quirements of the United States laws.
Recently an American filed strong OBJ
iections with Mr.. Henry w. Diederich,
United States consul at Bremen, who
wrote to Washington for instructions,
meanwhile forbidding the physicians
in question, to vaccinate Americans in
the steerage, on the ground that the
law was intended to apply to immi-
grants only.
