BACK FROM TIE WARS.
Daniel o'Neil Saw Fighting and Hard
Service in China and the Philip
pines-Will Enlist Again.


Daniel ONeil. late of Uncle Sans
army in the Philippines, returned home
Saturday, being the second Brattle-
boro veteran of three wars to return
home within six weeks. His expert
ences in army life were similar to
those of Michael Sherry, who was in
company of the same regiment and
who arrived home Feb. II, but he is
in much better physical condition. He
says he has enjoyed the service and in
tends to re-enlist sooner or later.
O'Neil was a member of company |
and spent the summer of 1898 in Chick
amauga with the First Vermont regi-
ment. In February, 1899, he enlist
ed at Springfield. Mass, and was as
signed to company d, 9th regiment,
which left the barracks at Madison, n.
v for the Philippines in March. The
regiment arrived in Manila in April
and spent the next II months in and
near that city. During that time
O'Neil was in several minor engage
ments. but was not wounded The
story that he was killed had for its
foundation the fact that another pri-
vate named O'Neil in the same com
| pany was shot.
In June. 1900. O'Neils regiment was
sent from Luzon to China to assist in
| quollng the Boxer instruction. being
the first American organization to go
| to that country. The battle of Ten
tsin between the allied forces and the
| Chinese. the latter being behind the
walls of the fortified city. was the
hottest" fight in which O'Neil was en-
gagged. The 90-mile journey to Pekin
the skirmishes on the way. the rescue
of the foreign legation. including
| United States Minister Conger and
family, in which O'Neil was engaged
are well remembered by those who
took an active interest in the affairs
at that time. After spending 1C
months in police duty in Pekin O'Nei
returned with the regiment to Manila
and was sent thence to the island OF
Samar. where he did garrison duty al
Catbalogan until February of the pres
ent year.
| O'Neil left the Philippines in Feb
ruary on the transport Sheridan. ar
irving in March at San Francisco
He was honorably discharged Marcel

Louis Kauffield a glass manufactures
of Matthews Delaware county, after eX-
periments covering two years, announces
that he has discovered the method Of
making malleable glass long considered
one of the lost arts The manufactured
product is not sensitive to sudden
changes of heat and cold and may be
moulded very much after the manner of
iron. Kauffield says he has dipped al
most red hot lamp chimneys of the new
glass in water that was Icy cold and
they were not affected. The new pro-
cess promises the making of cooking
vessels out of glass, and the use OF glass
in stoves. Mr. Kauffield also believes
that he can weld the glass together
Manufacturers who have seen Kauffield's
experiments speak highly of them.
