BUCKS AS PROJECTHES.
Striking Lighthouse at a Velocity of 1oe
Miles an Hour, They Smash Things.
Irnr,rr r,nIA
Boston Journal


To the fact that he had left his post
for a moment to get drink of water,
Assistant Lighthouse Keeper Howes Of
the Great Point Station attributes his es-
cape from injury in a remarkable accident
which occurred here early today, and in
which two canvasback ducks caused con-
siderable damage to the lighthouse.
1t wss just after midnight when AS
sistant Keeper Howes left his position to
satisfy his thirst. He had scarcely step
ped down from his station when 4 loud
crash was heard and at same instant the
light went out
Fastening back with a lantern, the As
sistant Keeper found that two great can
yasback ducks had plunged through one
of the large plate glass windows of the
lighthouse, smashing it into hundred
pieces and had brought up against the op-
posite window, eXtinguishing the light as
they passed.
The window measured 6 feet by 81
inches, and the glass was three-eighths of
an inch in thickness. After the accident
no piece of glass bigger than a half dol
lar could be found, and as the man on
watch is accustomed to stand near this
window, it is thought that he could not
have escaped injury from flying fragments
had he been in his place. Moreover, as
the ducks are known to fly at a speed OF
100 miles an hour, the force with which
the pieces were driven into the tower must
have been dangerous.
The accident caused considerable incon-
venience owing to the destruction of the
lights. Keeper Higgins states that in his
80 years experience he has very seldom
witnessed an occurrence similar to that of.
this morning.

ACTS AND WORDS.
The Fountain of Defamation Of the Veterans
Which Flows in the Pension ONCE.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is re
freshing to read the expressions Of a man
who has the courage of his convictions
as is found in the article of Capt. j. NJ
Mum in his criticism Of the report of the
Commissioner of Pensions. He says
Fraud animates the exordium of the
latest Pension Bureau report; fraud makes
up the body of the document; fraud fur
nishes the inspiration for the peroration,
etc. For every case of fraudulent pen
sions or pension claims that Mr.. Evans
can point out, bis critics can point to
scores of eyasions and violations of the
pension laws on his part. Is there no
wickedness in that, | would ask his de-
fenders-though they seem to be becom-
ing few and far between as the members
of Congress are getting better acquainted
with his methods.
Evans was the one dark blot on the
Mckinley Administration, and it is hard
to understand what purpose Roosevelt
has in retaining him in the office of Com
missioner of Pensions. The Presidents
reference to the civil war veterans in his
late annual message was very pretty and
complimentary; but was it anything but
words, set to cold type, after all? He
could have told them something in far
fewer words than were contained in his
paragraph of fiattery, that would have
pleased them immensely more; viz, an as
surance that would have caused that
Medical Referee and the Board of Re
view, behind which Evans hides, to rush
for the fire escape, and Evans-why,
Evans TO be looking around for his hat
Let the President act with his reputed
strenuousness and get rid of Evans. The
old soldiers still know the difference be
tween acts and words. If their services
to their country are worthy of honorable
mention, their wishes should have some
weight with the Administration, and the
foremost wish of their hearts at this time
is to be rid of Evans. The spectacle of
the President patting the old soldiers on
the shoulder and iauding their services to
their country, and then keeping a man in
the office of Commissioner of Pensions
who is continually Labelling those same old
soldiers as frauds and Treasury looters.
etc, is hardly consistent with an honest
purpose to do justice, and justice is all
we ask. If the ordinary rule of evidence
that is followed in all courts either civil
or criminal, were observed in the Pension
Bureau, pension claimants would have
nothing to complain of. 1t must have been
edifying to Evans to have Gen. Grosvenor
characterize his treatise on the practice
of the Pension Office, as not law, but the
utterance of man that never knew any
thing about law, and that he confused
terms of which he did not know the mean
ing, etc. The more EyansisIn is investi-
gated the smaller he looks in everything
but his own inordinate self-vaaity and
contemplate meanness and abusiveness
to the old soldier.-GEo. S. EDDY, late
Corporal, Co. l. 23d. Ohio, WilIoughby,
Ohio.

| 1t was not until we had gained actual
possession of these hills that the enemy
realized the fact that Sherman's force was
present in large numbers. At 3 o'clock In
the afternoon Col. Eli Longs Brigade of
Cavalry crossed the bridge over the South
Chickamauga for the purpose Of making a
reconnaissance around the north end of
Missionary Ridge against Chickamauga
Station, the base of supplies for the
Southern army.
At O'Clock in the afternoon n spirited
engagement was opened up by the enemy
upon the extreme left of Sherman's line.
held by Giles A. Smith: artillery as well
as muSketry was brought into requisition.
Gen. Smith was severely wounded and
had TO go to the rear. Col. Nathan W.
Topper, 116th ILL.,, succeeded to the COM
mand. Col. Tupper firmly held his ground
and the Confederates withdrew.
The right wing of Gen. Sherman's force
now held position on a hill detached from
the main ridge by deep ravine. His main
objective was the railroad tunnel which
passes through Missionary Ridge, where
there is slight depression. This tunnel
was in full view, in Gen. Sherman'S right
front hut. as before stated, was separated
from him by a deep ravine. The hill upon
which his right rested soped rapidly TO
the west and fell off into the plain before
reaching a point opposite the tunnel. In
studying the maps of Missionary Ridge
which had been furnished him. Gen. Sher-
man inferred that Missionary Ridge was
a continuous hill, and while he had seized
the east end of the main Ridge and held
it with the troops of the Second Division,
the position occupied by his right flank
was a hill separated from Missionary
Ridge by deep rayine.
Intrenching tools were brought forward
before SundOwn and the work OF fortlfy-
ing the entire line was prosecuted during
the night. Gen. Ewing's Division, aug
mentcd in strength temporarily by three
regiments of the Eleventh Corps, left by
Gen. Howard at the river, extended our
line to the right down into the valley. Gen.
Morgan L. Smith closed the gap to the
Chickamauga on the left. My brigade and
that of Gen. Matthias We're placed in re-
serve at the base of the ridge first occu-
pied.
Gen. jefferson G. Davis left one of his
brigades at the river, posted one brigade
close up to Sherman's position, and an
other brigade at an intermediate point
The sky cleared; night came on. The air
was cold and frosty. The day and the
night previous had been q period of great
activity, and both officers and men now
felt the need of rest. Not tent had
been brought forward, even for the Major
General commanding. Such rest as was
obtained that night came from sleep upon
the naked ground. Campfires were lighted
along the entire front line, and by the
troops encamped between the ridge and
the river. These fires revealed to friend
and foe the fact that great force was
assembled near the right flank of Bragg's
army.
At midnight Maj. Rowley brought or
ders from Gen. Grant to Gen. Sherman,
directing him to attack the enemy at
dawn OF day."

PEkING, Feb. 9.-The celebration OF

There has been great improvement in

with the condition in which they were
