Those who attended the meeting were
John J. Mitchell, James c. Hutchins,
John Hutchins, Isaac Elwood, represent

The meeting lasted several hours, and
at it's close no one of the conferees was
willing to speak concerning the transac-

From other sources it was learned,
however, that the deal was practically
closed and that the offer of the steel

was accepted.
The elimination of the transaction is
regarded with satisfaction by John w
Gates and his associates, who have been
largely instrumental in the deal.

alleged generals who conceived that cavalry
had no higher use or function-so the Buck
eyes had to furnish two more companies as
headquarters guard, the penalty for being
second only to the regulars in point of set
up and style, and that left our friend the
colonel, with just four companies to protect
four miles of track and the pleasing occu-
patton of damningj general officers in gem

indecent he could think of. When mans

the hardy, seasoned regiment, including

here were they biddon to watch the road,

Then there had been a letter, a thick let

never got it, nor could he find the man to
tell what had become of it. He went and
notified Gaffney of this new trouble and
Gaffney could only sympathize and regret
but when Norman returned to camp he was
approached by Sergeant Trott and awk-
wardly informed that Lieutenant Malloy or
dered that hereafter he apply for permis-
sion before he ventured to go so far from
his company. AS the Emmets were far
reaching foragers and given to exploring
without consulting their first lieutenant

more apt to crticise than commend the
appointments in the volunteers, that was
considered a feather In Norman's cap and a
slap at the state officials at Columbus.
There had not beeen lacking mischlevous
filings at Malloy when the matter was first
noised about the regiment. Some of his
brother officers made the mistake of twit-
ting him or trying to, but the man who had
shown such agitation and nervousness the
night on the River Queen was as pacidly
unconscious, TO all appearances, as he had
been the day Gafney read him Enyart' 4

Only one thing did he say that could be
construed into reflection on the proposed

with Darcy stumbling alongside, leaving
Norman to himself again.
1t was as breathless night as the young
soldier had known in the whole campaign,
and the day had been almost insufferably
hot. Somewhere toward n on there had been
a lively stir along the picket line west of
the railway where valiant regiment of
Hoosiers held the ground. For twenty
minutes the crackle OF musketry
had been so brisk as to bring
the brigade into line, and later
to cause patrols to push forward all along
the front. They found three dead horses.
but the visiting troopers had left nothing
else beyond a favorable impression and a
Of the pike to "call again in the near fu-
ture.' Then squadron of Kentucky horse
pushed out on each of four southwark lead
ing roads, and for two hours rummaged the
woods without finding a thing, the pickets
meanwhile being alert and eager. But Just
about supper time, away to the left front,
the southeast, the explorers stumbled on a
stronger force, had a sharp setto with sabers
and Colts and then had to give way. After
that all was quiet again from sundown to
midnight, save only tho mournful plant of
the whip-poor- wills, but even they had
ceased as the night wore on. Johnny Reh

placid pool and peered down by day into
their own inverted images. A little foot
bridge had been built across the stream at
the point where 1t narrowed again and went
