Major Peter r. Egan, former post
surgeon at Fort Douglas, will leave
for San Francisco tomorrow and there
take ship for Manila, where he has
been instructed to report to General
Chaffee for assignment to duty. Major
Egan was relieved at the fort a few

The court-martial in which Major

irving in San Francisco from the Phil

"MY CAPTIVITY AND RELEASE"
Subject of the Lecture of Miss
Ellen M Stone

Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the missionary,
will deliver her lecture on the subject.
MY Captivity and Release" at the Ly-
ceum theatre. Monday evening, May 49,,
under the auspices of the jackson
Street Baptist church. Rev. Thomas de
Gruchy, pastor. has issued the follow
ing letter from Miss Stone regarding
her lecture and it's noble objects:
In view of questions that have been
raised regarding my lecturing, l there
fore make the following statement:
When it was first made to appear to
me that a recital of my experiences in
captivity by lectures or through the
press was regarded as imperative by
those in whose judgment confide, and
might be productive of financial results,
it was in my. heart to devote any such
may have embarrassed themselves by
helping to provide my ransom.
"A further hope grew in my heart
that l might also, perhaps. do some
thing for those missionary purposes to
which I have given my life. and to
which I have always heretofore devoted
all moneys which have come to me by
my own earnings or by gifts or be-
quests, such, for instance, as the estab-
lishment of an industrial school in
Macedonia, in which young men may
be trained in legitimate occupation, so
tnat they may not grow up to be brig
ands. While l have had those purposes
at heart, have felt a strong reluctance
to state formally my intentions in this
matter, lest it should appear like pro-
claiming what. it seemed to me, those
VINO mad known me would naturally
suppose to be my motives
Yet inasmuch as it has been inti-
mated to me that those who had no,
known me might suppose that nv
friends or ] have in view q personal
enrichment, am glad to state the fact
that in my life and labors here at home
or abroad l am still the missionary of
Christ. and shall continue to devote all
am and have or may have to the pro-
ii n''n'' VI the kingdom of God"

KtSvLI OF NEW ORDER.
Lackawanna Conductors Object t
Working as Flaemen.

stories We're printed yesterday in the
Wilies-Barre papers to the effect that
four Lackawanna trainmen at Kings
ton had been discharged because of
their refusal to accommodate them
fiagmen for conductors on pusher and
helper engines.
The new order means that the pay of
the man doing this work is reduced
from $3.l2 to $o06 per day. 1t was to
be effective May /. When it came time
FOR the Kingston pushers to go out, the
conductors who had been on them re-
FUSED to go out and none of the flag
men having applied for the places, the
engines could not work. Trainmaster
McCam directed the four conductors to
resume work. and upon their refusal Ia
do so he laid them off.
This Is the only reported instance of
trouble ensuing from the new order, 1t
affects altogether only seventeen men.
Ihose OF the conductors who do not de-
sire to continue in the position as flag
men, are privileged to take a place as
conductor running over the road, pro-
vlding they can qualify.
The report that F. H.. Mor,issay
grand master OF the trainmen. has been
summoned here to deal with the KINGS
ton matter is denied by A. II. DUFFY,
chairman OF the trainmen's general
committee. He stated yesterday that
the trainmens grievances must come
TO nm before they go To the grand
master, and AS yet he has had no re-
port of any grievance.
