u: NJ Caldwell called the meeting to order
and Col. George c. Anderson was elected
chairman and Capt. Van Ormer secretary.

ment II was the first time that they had
met since the time of mastering out at the
close of the war
But They Voted to Stay.
1T may seem best on, the part of some of
to enable you to attend some of the other
reunions that are being held" Chairman
Anderson said. Il am anxious to hear from
all OF you. see many faces here that
bring back memories that are dear. 1t may
take up more time than you are willing to
give"
1t was quite evident that the boys of this
old fighting regiment were anxious to go
on with the meeting. The chairman called
to the stage a number of his old friends and
comrades, explaining that he was anxious
that the ladies might see what kind of men
went to the front in the old days of war
fare.
Capt. ]. W. Barnett was the first one
called on to- speak. He said it was pleasant
to meet so many familiar faces after
lapse of so many years.
our associations he said, were COM
menced when we were free from the gray
that tinges our hair and beard today; when
soldering was not particularly a serious
duty. There were some pleasures and joys
connected with our service as we'll as sor-
rows. 1t could not have been otherwise
with ones of our youth. My associations
with this regiment were not as an officer, as
remember them, but as a soldier with you
in the ranks
He referred to a number of the men who
We're with him at the reunion and his refer
ences to particular Incidents were humorous
at times. The battle of Fredericksburg, as
he pictured it briefly brought up many ten
der recollections. At this engagement Com
pany E was almost completely annihilated.
Captain Shields, the Rev. George Smith,
DR.. Spade Captain Musser and Messrs
Slower, Caldwell and Van Ormer also made
brief addresses. When the speechmaking
was over time of general good fellowship
followed. The SD Regiment was attached
to the Army of the Potomac and was IN
every engagement that that army partici-
pated in throughout four years of service.

Col. Lyman Presides.

Col. Lyman, who is the president Of the
corps association, was called on to preside
and made a cordial speech Of welcome. He
also briefly reviewed the history of the
corps and said that 1t always did it's duty.
Col. Lyman then introduced a comrade
and a member Of the corps Gen. Shallen-
berger, the second assistant postmaster gen.
eral, who made bright but informal
speech which his comrades evidently en-
toyed very much. He disclaimed any inten-
ton of making an address. He expressed

FISH OUT OF WATER.
Gen. Wheelers Smile Illustrative of
His Desire for War.

Representative Champ Clark tells this
one on Gen. Joe Wheeler:
when the Spanish war was brewing
Gen. Wheeler was anxious TO get into the
fight, If there was to be one. An ex-con-
federate met him on the avenue and said:
&" General, why are you so anxious for a
scrap with SPAIN?
"'Sir,' replied the general, its my trade
my trade
His daughter said to the general that
surely he had had enough of fighting to
satisfy any reasonable man from 1861 to
1865, and he should stay at home and let
the young men do the fighting.
Now, daughter said the general, If a
fish had been out of the water thirty odd
years and came in sight of a nice-looking
lake he would wiggle little at any rate,
wouldn't he"
"And the old warrior did wiggle into the
thickest of the fight

Table and Kitchen.
Some Delicious spiced and Picked
Fruits.

Some DELICIOUS SElCeu ana f1CRleQ
Fruits.
Though pickles of all kinds are considered
far from wholesome, they are such an ap-
petizing relish many will not forego the
pleasure these spicy accessories give the
sense of taste. Under these conditions,
then, it is well to be careful in the selection
of the materials used in the preparation of
this class of foods.
ONLY the best vinegar should be taken.
Spices must be of the purest, but not used
too literally as they are rather medicines
than foods; and ever so little will be suf-
ficient to render the food more palatable by
giving variety of flavors, and stimulate the
sense of taste so as to considerably increase
the flow of saliva. Perhaps the strongest
argument in favor of the use of spices and
vinegar in cooking fruits and vegetables is
that they greatly assist in the preservation
of these foods, so that they do not require
watchfulness on the part OF the housewife.
Spices should not only be scantily used, but
skillfully blended 50 that 40 one kind over
powers the others or destroys the delicate
flavor of the fruit which should really be
the most noticeable OF all
Tin or iron vessels must not be used for
scalding the materials or in any part of
the cooking of picked and spiced fruits.
When done the pickles should be put into
stone

kind of fat. Keep in cool, dark place.

THE SECOND CORPS.
Reunion Held in Grant Tent, Camp
Roosevelt

I'VE can't expect today the kind Of re-
unions we generally have at the national
encampments, remarked member of the
Grand Army corps this morning, as he
stood at the entrance to Grant tent chat
ting with a comrade.
That's so,' acquiesced the listener
There is too much going on here in Wash
ington and the men don't want to attend
meetings"
Notwithstanding this tribute to the at
Effectiveness of Washington and the fullness
of the program prepared by the commit
tee quite a number of the members of the
corps found their way to Grant tent. Ten
o'clock, the hour named for the meeting,
came and went. and still the comrades lin
gered, but those who were in the tent ex-
changed "reminiscences. and while the gath
ering was not formally called together, the
spirit of the occasion, which was an in
formal reunion of the members OF the corps,
was manifest and sort of campfire"
was kept going.
Were you at the wheat feld?" inquired
one veteran Of another, whom he met for
the first time.

certainly making the battlefield beautiful
place. But. somehow, l don't like it, as it
does not look as l remember 1t. There are
too many statues and memorials scattered
about"
So the gossip went on, and in the mean
time the veterans kept dropping IN, some of
them accompanied by ladies, and when
Capt. w. p. Saville of this city called the
meeting to order there were about 100 MEM
bers of the corps within the limits of Grant

| chairman were Col. Charles Lyman, Gen.
| W. S. Shallenberger and others.

Is WORSE THAN
FIRST REPORTED
According TO Later Estimates,
One Hundred and Seventy
five Persons We're Killed
at Coal Creek.
FEW BODIES HAVE BEEN FOUND
Owing to the Afterdamp, Res
ouing Parties Are Unable to
Remain in the Mines
Scenes Heartrending.

Fernie, B. g., May "a. The loss of
life in the Coal Creek mines on Thurs
day is even greater than was at first
reported. 1t is now estimated that
from $50 to 175 persons met death.
Superintendent brennan, DR.. Bennett
and True Weatherby were the first to
enter the mine. When about 800 feet
into the working, brennan was over
come by afterdamp, and had it not
been for his two companions would
have perished. On being removed to
tho outer air, he recovered and gave
instructions to the rescuing party to
commence repairing the pipes which
conduct the air through the mine, as
they had been almost completely de-
stroyed. 1t was impossible to enter,
owing to the afterdamp.
Volunteers were called for, and q
score of men sprang to the work. Every
few minutes the men would collapse,
and were borne to the outer air, but
their places were quickly filled by fresh
volunteers. The first body recovered was
| taken from No. 3 mine about II O'Clock,
and was that of Willie Robertson, q
| lad of 13. Several hours elapsed, and
| then three more bodies we're recovered.
At a. m. the relief parties had pene-
| trated SO far that the gas became un-
bearable, and operations had to be sus-
pended for an hour or two. Many acts
of bravery were witnessed during the
night.
The mine is free from fire, and the
bodies will be removed as fast as the
afterdamp is cleared.
The town is horror stricken, and
heartrending scenes meet the eyes on
every side
All day the trains to the mines have
been crowded with anxious friends and
relatives of the imprisoned men, hurry
ing to the scene of the disaster.
A meeting of the Board of Trade has
been called to organize relief fund
for the sufferers
The cause of the accident is un-
known, but the opinion of many is
| that it was the result of heavy shot
| from one of the machines.

SAN JUAN HAS A SCARE
The Sunset Friday Evening Was Most
Brilliant Eyer Seen in Porto Rico.
WAS REFLECTED ON THE OCEAN
The Volcanic Disturbances
Contributed to 1t.
STREETS AND WHARVES IHRONGEO

San Juan, Porto Rico, May "a. The
most brilliant sunset ever seen hero
was witnessed last evening. 1t was
caused by the reflection of the rays of
the sun through an atmosphere laden
with smoke and other volcanic matter.
After sunset, the horizon from west to
north and the sky line to considera-
BILE height were vivid red behind a
curtain of billowy, dark clouds.
The phenomenon slowly disappeared
through rose tints. The glare was re-
feeted on the ocean, and produced a
beautiful effect. The streets and the
ocean front were thronged by excited
crowds of spectators. Director Thomp-
son of the Weather Bureau was not
willing to say that this unusual ap-
pearance of the sky was caused entirely
by the eruption of Mount Pelee, in the
Island of Martinique, but thought that
the volcanic disturbances contributed
largely to it. Mr.. Thompson added
that he had long expected the phe-
nomenon to appear.
The superstitous people of the lower
class have this week been preparing for
the end of the world, which had been
predicted for Thursday last. On that
day the poems in several places refused
to work, the children remained away
from school, and the inhabitants of
the rural districts attended special
mass.
In various towns fairs are being held
and theatrical performances are being
given for the benefit of the Martinique
sufferers. The French consul here has
forwarded 81, 1,21o, which had been col
lected from French residents of this
island.

visit President Roosevelt and Mrs. Nc
Kinley before returning home. In an
interview, he said:
"In the Philippines, conditions at
present are very hopeful for the termi-
nation of the insurrection with the
capture of Gen. Lukban and the sur
render of Gen. Malvar. The first was
due to Gen. Smith, the second to Gen.

LARGE MILL FOR CANTON.
Company Organized to Operate Rolling
Plant There.

Company Organized TO Operate a Rolling
Plant There.
Baltimore Sun, May oath.
The Baltimore Rolling Mill Co. has
been incorporated under the laws of
Delaware, with a capital of 5000, 600,
and an organization has been effected
by the election of Harry Wehr presi-
dent, Charles G. Phillips vice-presi-
dent and treasurer and j. r. Bailey
secretary.
The company has just purchased u
large block of land from the Canton
Co., and rolling mill plant is to be
established as early as possible. The
property is on the north side of Fifth
avenue and extends between Second
and Fourth streets. Canton. 1t is 469
ass feet and contains about five acres.
The purchase price is said to have
been $50, 600.
The company is now busy planning
for the erection of the necessary build
ings and the installation of machinery.
The product at the start is to be bar
iron, although it is understood that
the capitalists of Baltimore are anxious
to develop other lines, using bar iron
as their base, and to increase the plant,
making it manufacturing establish
ment which will produce number of
special articles which are made from
bar iron.
The property is most advantageously
located for the purposes which it is
intended to serve. 1t can be readily
connected with all the railroad lines
centering in this city, thus making
attainable ready facilities for the dis
tribution of the company's products,
and transportation by water will also
present practically no difficulties. The
raw materials needed in the processes
of manufacture can be brought here
at minimum expense, and operations
can be conducted under the most favora-
| BILE circumstances.
The promoters of the enterprise hope
before long to build up here one of the
largest industries, which will give en-
ployment to hundreds Of men and
will be the means of bringing much
capital into the city, besides calling
for the expenditure of large sums in
wages and for materials consumed.
The company has opened an Office in
room 604, Continental Trust Building.
| Mr.. Wehr is member of the firm OF
| Fl. Wehr g. Co., dealers in bar iron,
steel, &C., Pratt and President streets.
He has been prominent in the iron
business during the past 10 years and
| is regarded as a man of ability. Mr..

years associated with the Diamond
