 One of the curious features of the night is that the surgeons say that Walsh, who is brother of an officer of the Tenth battalion was struck by shot from revolver The only man on the car who had a revolver was Lieutenant Wilson, who says that he saw man fire a brick and fired at him. He is positive he hit him. It was Lieu tenant Wilson, of "E" company who gave the fatal order to fire, and his ac- tion has received the approval of his superiors, for an investigation by high military officials held tonight exoner- ated him from blame. According to Wilson's statement he fired at and hit a man who struck him with stone.

STATE FIREMEN.

Hartford Man Will Probably Be
 Chosen President of the Association. | Tuesday and Wednesday, May 21
 and P, will be firemen's days in Hart
 ford, as the eighteenth annual con-
 vention of the Connecticut State Fire
 mems associat ton will be held in
 saengerbund hall in that city on those days. The last convention was held m Wallingford year ago and the legislative committee appointed at that time WI report on the success which has attended it's efforts. The legisla- ture has granted it's petition increas- ing the annual state appropriation from $S,000 to $10,O00 and reimbursing the associations treasury by $2,5OO which had been used for charitable purposes.
 The association was formed pri- 1narily for the promotion of the inter- est of the fireman and for maintaining the best service and equipment but 1t has grown into benefit organization for widows and orphans of men killed in service.
 George Bowman of Stamford is president, John R. Davis of this city, first vice-president,, John $. Jones of Westport secretary and Samuel c. Snagg of Waterbury, treasurer. There. is in addition, a vice. president from each county, Hartford's representative being E. o. Goodwin of East Hartford.
 The association will convene at 9 D. m, Tuesday, meeting of the executive beard being held at ii a. m. Two busi- ness sessions will probably be held Wednesday, at 1O:30 a. m. and 2 D. m. The Veteran Volunteer Firemen,s association will give ball Tuesday evening in the Auditorium for the entertainment of the state f1remen and other entertainments are planned.
 Almost the first business of the convention will be the election of a president and other officers for the coming year. John R. Davis, the pre- sent first vice. president, will probably pc elected president. He is engineer of No company on Front street has been Identified with the association for ten years, has served several times on the executive board and was county vlce-president for two years, previous to his election to the first vice-pres dency Mr. Davis Is very popular in the association and it's interests are very dear to him. His successor in the svice-p presidency will probably be T. A. Gobel, now county vice-presi- dent from Litchf1eld.
 There are 1000 members from over 200 fire companies in the association. About 200 delegates will attend the and there will be about 40 department delegates and fire chiefs from all over the state. Mayor Harrison will welcome them.
