THE ARSENAL.
Maj. ThOrp is FavOrabIy Impressed
with the Property.
Would Make an Admirable Location
for Either an Army Post
or Artillery Station.

Maj. Thorp, Of Chicago, who is here
nnder orders of Gen. Otis, investiga-
ting:the feasibility of converting the Ar
sonal property into'an army post, is very
favOrably impressed with the location
and the surrounding country. He has
been the guest of Maj Rockwell at the
Arsenal and Tuesday Congressman
Padgett took a drive with him, carrying
him through some of the fine farming
and phosphate districts.
Maj. Thorp thinks the Arsenal would
be an excellent location for either an
army post or an artillery station. If the
War Department should decide upon the
latter, practicing ground would be
necessary, although it would not have
to be in close proximity to the Arsenal;
an admirable site for this could be
| found in Lawrence county, which would
not be too far away.
After thoroughly investigating the
property, Maj. Thorp will make his re

TIE RLVSGHSTS WIN
Sudden Ending of the Greed Revis-
ion Debate in the Presbyterian
General Assembly.
THE MAJORITY REPORT WAS ADOPTED.
Recommendation II Changed to
Make IL Less Ambiguous, and
Then the Commissioners Fell In
TO Line and Adopted the Report
with One Great Roar of "Ays."

Philadelphia, May 28.-When the
order of'the day-the revision of the
confession of faith-was reached, in
the Presbyterian general assembly,
the moderator made a few remarks
advising against any hasty action. He
said there was tendency to rush the
mattery so that the assembly could
adjourn, and he hoped the commits
sioners would not get into panicky
condition and do something which
they might regret He suggested,
however, that all speeches be limited,
and o motion to limit them to ten
minutes was unanimously carried.
James ID. Moffatt, ID. d., president
of Washington and Jefferson univer-
sity, who. on Saturday, gave notice
that he would offer an amendment to
the majority report, was then recog-
nized by the moderator.
DIR. MoiTatt explained that he was
moved to offer the amendment to
Recommendation II because of the
small majority which, on Saturday,
voted to retain the recommendation
in the revision committees report.
Objection had been made, he said, to
the original recommendation in the
revision committees report, because
of ambiguity in certain portions, and
his object in amending was to render
the vote Of the assembly unanimous
on whatever action might be taken.

STREET FAIR CLOSES.
The Throwing of Finely Cut Confetti
Causes Trouble.

A week of fun and amusement was
brought to a close Saturday night, when
the last exhibition of the Street Fair
was given. All of the tents have been
torn down, and the show people save
about all left town.
The midway" was the scene of some
disturbance Saturday night, caused by
the throwing of very finely-cut "con-
feJti, which got into peoples eyes and
caused much discomforture. Mr.. Ber
ger, the manager, was arrested for al
loving the stuff to be sold, but he was
let off with light fine, as he stated that
he had given orders to the man who had
the confetti" concession not to sell it.
The throwing of this confetti was
the cause of the fight between Will
Brothers and Gus and A'gie johnson
Brothers came out of the fray quite
badly bruised, and warrants have been
issued for the arrest of the johnson
boys.

A HEAVY WIND
Tears Up Things Considerably at the
Street Fair.

a heavy wind Friday afternoon about 3
O'Clock created havoc at the Street Fair.
The fences, several of the tents and a
number of stands were blown down, and
considerable damage was caused.
There were number of persons in the
Fair at the time, but nobody was hurt.
As all of the structures we're of light
material they were easily displaced, and
the scene after the wind had subsided
was one of demolition. However, work
was commenced at once to remedy the
damage.
A large force of hands was put at work
replacing the tents and fences, and a
performance was given that night as
usual
