along this road at an acute angle. and
extending a short distance down the
hill toward the low ground lying north
and east of the village of Gettysburg.
The Eleventh corps. arriving at about
o'clock, was placed ON this low ground
to the right and rear of the First corps,
its left on the Mummasburg road at
some distance in rear of the right of
the First corps, and its right on Rock
creek near the Harrisburg road. The
right of the First corps and the left of
the Eleventh We're commanded by Oak
Hill, and the right of the Eleventh was
envcloped by Ewell when lie arrived
from Carlisle. The line taken mp by
the Eleventh wns weak i'll itself and
was too long for the number of men.
Howard was, however, obliged to occu-
py 1t to cover the right and rear of the
First corps against Ewell's advance.
In this position the First and Flew.
enth corps held back Hill and Ilwell un-
til about 4 p. M, when Ewell, having
enveloped the right Of the Eleventh
corps, rendered Its position untenabe
and drove 1t back through Gettysburg,
uncovering the right of the First corps,
which now, enveloped on both TANKS,
also fell back in comparatively good or
der through the village, reuniting with
the Eleventh corps OH Cemetery Hill,
where they took up position which
proved an important part of the line of
the second and third days battles. The
lighting of the cavalry and the First
corps was desperate and bloody. Gen.
Reynolds was killed. Gen. Doubleday,
second in rank, commanded the corps
until relieved by Gen. John Newton,
who. ordered forward to command the
corps, met 1t at Cemetery Hill. The
losses on both sides We're heavy, and
the fighting was characterized by great
valor and determination. The right of
the Eleventh corps under Barlow was
also heavily engaged and suffered Sc
verely before falling back.
During the night and following day
the other corps came up. The Twelfth
arrived on the evening of the list, the
Second and part of the Fifth at Z a. m.
on the I'd, the remainder of the Fifth
arriving at noon, and the last Of the
Third corps at 0 a. m. The artillery
reserve came up. at 1870 n. M, and the
Sixth corps, after marching thirty-four
miles, at 4 p. IN.
The Second Day.
Some shifting of troops took place,
and the. divisions of the corps were in
some cases separated, but when the
lines We're formed the corps were. in
general terms, placed as follows, viz;

in this part of the field ended with the
close of the day. About p. III. Ewell
attacked the right center at Cemetery
Ridge and Culps Hill, Early gaining a
temporary foothold on Cemetery Hill
in Howard's front, from which he was
soon driven; but on Culps Hill con-
siderable extent of the earthworks,
from which part of the Twelfth corps
had been withdrawn to strengthen the
left, WAS occupied and held during the
night. The fighting on the Union left
during the day was severe, and the
losses, particularly OF the Third corps,
large.
The Thrill Day.

field, fighting for the recovery of the
works on Culps Hill began and contin-

tablished, and the Union Fight and rear
again made secure. The Confederate
losses in this part of the field were
severe, and the Federal losses also
large. At about p. M. Lee opened
upon the Union center with about 1876
guns, and Meade replied with about
eighty. This grand artillery duel con
tinued without intermission for two
hours. and the very earth Quaked I'M

more than 200 cannon.
AT 3 p. IN. Pickett's division of Long.
streets corps advanced to the charge.
The division was composed of $4,000
men and they were of the flower Of the
splendid army. The advance was made
IN three lines across the very gently
rolling slopes of the valley for dis.

which 1t was exposed to converging
artillery fire, and after passing the En-

and at the center reached and drove
back the first Union line to the second
where the assault was stopped and the
Confederates beaten, and driven back
with great losses in killed, wounded

LOAN COMPANIES in IOWA
Business Greatly Reduced Under oDer-
atiouS of New Law,

Du0hucS9 SICHtIy AGuuCVu ouuOk wa
ations of New Law.
The law passed by the last General A.
setfibly enacting legislation for the gov
ernment Of building and loan companies
and associations already has forced many
out of business and has made material
change In that branch Of Investment in
the State.
Because of the wide agitation Of what
Were claimed to be building and Ioan
evils tile Legislature decided that tho
new law should so into effect upon publi-
cation. f1
The building and loan associa tons
claimed that to make the new law opera.
tive at once would embarrass seriously
all companies doing business in the State
and practically ruin many. They wanted
time in which to conform to the de-
mands of the new law and while this
was refused, largely because of the show
ing made by the Attorney General, who
had prepared the building and loan bill
and appeared before the House and Sem
ate committees and argued for its pas
sage, many members of the Legislature
and others who had watched the course
of legislation doubtless wondered in their
own minds what the result would be and
whether or not severe hardship had al
ready been imposed upon these concerns.
The new law went into effect on May
3, 1000. so that the State auditors bien-
NAL building and loan report, which APP
pears at this time, provides detailed in
formation MS to the workings Of the new
law.
State Auditor Merriam's report gives
receipts and disbursements and assets
and liabilities of the building and loan
associations for the years ending Dec.
81, $780, and 1900. with tables and COM
parsons for the year 1900 with the year
1898.
1t is found that the number of COM
panies doing business at the close OF the
biennial period in 1898 was 1O7, there
being twentyseven domestic, seventy
nine domestic local, and one foreign, and
that at the present time there are TWEEN
ty-four domestic and sixty-three domes-
tic local, making total Of eighty -seven,
or a decrease of three domestic, sixteen
domestic local, and one foreign, the last
named having withdrawn from the State.
All the retiring companies have gone
into voluntary liquidation, taking advan-
tage of the means provided by the new
law FOR closing up business under the
old plan and conforming, If they desire
to do so, to the new conditions.
AS showing the mimense shrnkage in
building and loan business since the new
law went into effect it may be said that
there has been n decrease in total re-
ceipfs of these companies and associa-
tions of S1,272.94O, and decrease in to-
tai assets of 1880, 400.
