READY FOR MUSTER IN.
Company A Held n Meeting Last Night
Other Military Notes.


There was a very large attendance OF
Company A, Richmond Grays, last night.
The members were put through quite an
extensive drill, and notwithstanding the
fact that the Company has not yet been
mustered in, and further, that it is COM
posed to some extent of men without any
former military experience. the drilling
was most creditable.
The company will be ready for inspec-
ton and muster in as soon as orders are
received from the Advertisements office
which it is hoped will be one night next
week.
A number of the men were measured for
uniforms. Six recruits We're received last
night.

that company to assemble next Thursday
night, when measu Will be taken Tor

urgently requested that every member be
present on this occasion. There Will also
be "a pponted at this meeting several non

The members of the old First Virginia
Regiment Drum and Fife Corps also held
"a very large meeting last might. in+.the
proceedings of which uchtinterest.s was
manifested. AT the meeting it was dectd-
night 1T is the intention of the men to-
get a complete new outfit of instruments,
for which one or two companies have con-
Etributed and the, remaining companies
have promised to render whatever assis-
lance is necessary. The Drum Corps will
+ be composed OF thirty pieces, and as the
men have all had considerable experience
in the use of their respective instruments,
with a few reilearsals it will not only be
the largest but the best in the South. The
men are now in "a position. to tiM any and
ali engagements. and expect to turn out
In full force during Carnival week.

& be very short while before they will
have to adopt the waiting list for such
members as they cannot enlist, to till any
vacancies which may occur by discharges
and Withdrawals.

men, he scanned the sides of the still burn
ing Main closely and deserted at one of the
coal ports man who was calling for help.
Going To the side of the vessel he rescued
this man and II others, all of whom had
been in the bottom Of the ship for nearly
eight hours with the flames roaring above
them and working their way ever nearer.
The men were at their last stand and
would soon have persisted.
The conduct of the tugboat captains who,
in the race for salvage, refused to pause to
save human lives, caused many bitter com
ments, and stories of brutality became cur
rent.
W. j. Moran, a tug boat captain, saw
through port hole in the Saale, "a man
who was writing on his locker. When the
flames burst into the little room the man
cody picked up revolver, and shot him
self through the head.
Cabins on the Bremen and the Main
were entered on Sunday by river thieves,
who are supposed to have carried away
jewelry and other valuabes.
A large part of the horror on the Saale
wouldlhave been averted had the port holes
been little larger. Tney were unusually
small ouly eight or ten inches in diamet r.
Many stories are told of the poor imprson-
ed wretches in the Saale who could be seen
through the port holes. The vessel above
them was a mass of flames, and there was
no possibility of escape.
