FIGHT BEGINS IN a DEr1IE
Brown Force Has to Retiro-1ndiana Mon
Cover Themselves with Glory.

Brown Force Has to Retirc-Indiann Mon
Cover Themselves with Glory.
The battle was precipitated at the
entrance to long and torturous de-
file in the hills, two guns from the
fT'wenty-First battery and two troops
of cavalry being sent on the run to
take hold before the Blues came up.
The Blues had, however, already
gained a position from which they
could turn the defile, so the Brown
force was compelled to retire. This
move on the part of the Brown COM
mander threw the original plans of the
Blues into confusion, and forced them
to strike ut the Brown left and left
center. Accordingly the Indiana bri-
gade delivered hard blow for the
Blues, the firing during their attack
on the Brown left wing being the hot
test of the day.
The Indiana guardsmen, who have
already gained an enviable record, en-;
HANGED it still further by capturing
three companies of the Eighth Ohio
and infiicting losses on the Third Ken
lucky and Eighth Ohio estimated by
the umpires us 100 KILLED" This, Of
course, caused the Brown left wing
to. fall back for some distance. The
Indiana brigade was, however, una
BILE to successfully turn the left flank
of the Browns, and the reason for it
was that some of their Hoosier breth-
rem working on the other side got into
the game. The Indiana field artillery,
part of the Brown forces, came to
the rescue of the left, and by smart
work that won them praise from the
experts prevented the Blue artillery
and cavalry from following up Nthe
advantage the infantry had gained.
Meantime the First brigade of Blues
had begun hot action with the Michi-
gan brigade, forming the Brown CEN
ter. Here the artillery again saved
the day for the Browns, the Twenty
First battery coming up at the nick Of
time to give their side the preponder-
ance and cause the temporary retire
ment Of the first line Of the first Blue
brigade, composed largely Of regulars,
nearly whole company of the latter
being captured by a Michigan regi-
ment. This advantage at the center
was partly offset by poor counter
attack delivered by the First Michi-
gan, working largely in the open in
the face of Il heavy fire by the First
Indiana. The umpires adjudged the
First Michigan to have lost sufficient
number to cause its temporary retire
ment.
The principal feature of the work
Of the Brown army was the effective
use of the artillery. Great mobility
was shown and the pieces were
worked all over the field, always ar
irving at u threatened point in time.
For the Blue army the best work was
done by the Indiana brigade, a bat
talon of the Twentieth infantry and
u squadron of the Seventh cavalry.
The Blue artillery was of little effect.
After the engagement closed the
hospital corps gave fine exhibition
of quick work in finding, attending to
and hustling to camp $50 men to whom
tags had been given, and who were
scattered over the field to represent
"wounded."

Every owner of farm property
should read the article on second
page, entitled "The Railroad Assess
ment," which clearly shows that the
effort made to induce the republican
executive council of this state, to
make the railroads bear fair share
Of their proportion of taxes, proved
futile and resulted, by reason Of the
control Of the executive council, in
largely increasing the taxes on farm
lands.

The damage to mill property is
chiefly from the submersion of por-

ployment for long time. and 1t seems
altogether probable that this flood will
cause to the city of Paterson q great

So few men were supplied by the

sued for peace. A committee of two

and an agreement was reached in
few minutes whereby the FRANKLIN
feeders returned to work today in all
