strong position occupied by about
400 riflemen, 1000 Bolomen, under
command of Juan Villamor, subordi-
nate Of limos. Desperate fight en-
sued, which was most creditable to
force engaged, though under heavy
pressure of overwhelming numbers
our troops were compelled to return
to Tarvican, which was accomplished
in tactical, orderly manner.
Acting Assistant Surgeon Bath and
civilian teamster captured early in
the fight and were released by Villa

ported here and their loss, moderate
estimate, over $50. Our loss is five

Leader of the Social Democracy Greeted
in Boston.
The social democrats of Boston and
vicinity gave an enthusiastic greeting
to Eugene V. Debs, the presidential
candidate, Sunday, and listened to two
speeches from him. The note of Mr..
Debs' speeches was the necessity OF
the working class having possession
of the tool of production, by which
he means the tools of construction as
they exist today -mills, machinery,
etc. He said so long as these were
owned by private capital, so long will
the workingman be oppressed. His
remedy is public ownership and man
agement of the tool of production"

upon direction of the president of

peal to all local chapters for assist
ance in raising fund for the re-

inferred in Washington to the Holly
wood cemetery, at Richmond. In
der recent act of congress it was de-
cided to remove all bodies inferred in
Washington to the Arlington ceme-
terry and the Mississippi Daughters
of the Confederacy do not desire the
states dead inferred in a national
cemetery. 1t would be impractical
Bile to bring the bodies back to Mis-
sissippi, but they can be taken to the
Hollywood cemetery where B, 900 OF
their comrades are inferred. The ap-
plication for removal must reach the
war department at Washington be-
fore the LIST Of November, or the
twenty-one Mississippians buried
there will be disinterred and taken
to the Arlington cemetery.

runaway on Tuesday forenoon, which
resulted in the wrecking of E. Wool

ed from in front of the Lutheran Par
sonage, where it had been left stand
ing by the driver w. H. Quick, who
was delivering loaf of bread. A
large flag stone step in front of c. w.

the purpose of getting In and out of
carriages, was struck by the wagon
and broken in two pieces. At the
fountain the horse tore loose from the
wagon and ran up Main street to Iron
and down Iron as far as the canal,
where it turned up Eighth street and
crossed the canal bridge. 1t was fin
ally caught at the Brass & Copper
Works, where it had become entang,
led in lot of rubbish and was unable
to extricate itself. Nearly all Of the
bread was ruined, some of it being
strewn along the road.
