DRUM WITH HISTORY
Captured at Bunker Hill by Revo-
lutionary Troops.

Relic Vow Owned by
&. A. u. Post.

One of the most valuable historical
relics in the United States is an Eng
lish snare drum, the property Of Rich
ard a. Pierce post, G.. \. r.. of New
Bedford. Mass. Several American his
torical societies have long tried to
secure possession Of il, for it is of revo-
lutionary fame, and probably is the
only one in existence which is asso-
ciated with the first battle for Ameri-
can independence Bunker Hill.
1t is battle SCARED and battered and
bears the marks of service in that his
toric battle, when the men Of l75j de-
termined to no longer stand the op-
preston of the mother country.
1t has been in the family Of Levi
Smith, of Providence, K. l., until re-
Gently, when Israel Smith, Jr., the
leaderof the famous SThirty-third Mass
achusetts regiment band, now resi-
dent Of New Bedford, presented it to
the post of which he is a comrade, and
it is safe to say that they will not part
with it until the great ma aiority of that
organization have joined theiy COM
rades who sleep in peace, Then it will
adorn some conspicuous place in one
of the government buildings al Wash
ington.
1t descended to Israel Smith, Jr,
from his grandsire, Levi Smith, who
was a drummer boy in one Of the Rhode
Island companies, which followed the
Quaker soldier, Gen. Nathaniel Greene,
to Massachusetts, 20 lend aid TO the
cause so dear TO the heart Of every
loyal American.
When given to the grandfather Of
Mr.. Smith that gentleman on his first
furlough took it with him to his home
in Providence, and after repairing a
piece of the barrel, which had been
knocked out by bullet and bracing tho
barrel on the inside, made this relic Of
Bunker Hill serviceable, and used it
during the balance Of his term as a
revolutionary soldier.
The grandfather was an expert on
such an instrument, as was a,se his

Prof. simon Newcomb ia unQucs-

The degree of doctor oi philosophy
was conferred upon him recently by
the University Of Christians. Pre-
vious TO this he had received similar
degrees from 19 different Institutions

An associate, complimenting him
upon his honors, was surprised 10

another degree to satisfy his ambi-

Curiosity drew forth the following

ARMY OFFICER EXONERATED.
Mai. Ayers Condemned for Making
Unfounded and Improper Asser-
tions Against a Brother officer.

Leavenworth, Kas., Jan. 5.-The
court of inquiry appointed by Maj.
Gen.J ohm c. Bates, commander of the
department of the Missouri, to inves-
tigate certain allegations and charges
against Capt. Malvern-Hill Barnum,
Eighth cavalry, has completed re-
port entirely exonerating Capt. Bar
num- In addition to approving the
findings of the board, Maj.-Gen. Bates
condemns Maj. Ayers for making un-
founded and improper assertions, and
says his action is highly unnilitary
and harmful to the service.
The trouble arose during the fall
maneuvers at Fort Riley, when Maj.
Ayers was commanding the Eighth
cavalry squadron with which Capt.
Barnum was serving. The charges
concerned the issue of passes, and on
passing upon them the court says:
"The court is of the opinion that
Maj. Ayers in making these asser-
tions was hasty and incorporate, and
while not imputing to him any inten-
ton of making false statement, the
assertions made and reiterated by
him were misleading, inaccurate and
unWarranted"

WATER IN THE BEDS.
white River Overfiows Its Banks
Near Seattle, Wash.


Seattle. Wash, Jan. 5.-White river
oyerfowed its banks near OBrien
station. IA miles below Seattle, at
three o'clock Sunday morning The
people of the town were awakened in
many places by water creeping into
their beds. A relief train was ordered
from Seattle, and on arriving with
boats the rescuing party found sew
eral families, the women and children
of which were huddIed on chairs and
tables in order TO keep from the wa
ter that was more than two feet deep
on the floor. All persons were taken
to places of safety. No lives are re-
ported lost, but much property has
been ruined or lost. Not since 1869
has there been such floods in the
the White river valley. The present
one was caused by the recent nine
days rain and the chinook winds,
which melted the heavy SHOWS in
the Cascade mountains.
Announcement was made Sunday
by the Great Northern that the Madi-
son bridge would be repaired Mon
day evening and the first break in the
traffic blockade would be made dur
ing the night by the arrival Of an
overland train. 1t will carry four
days mail.
There is no telling when the North
ern Pacific main line will be open, but
probably not for several days. Sun
n.
cleared and the first train in two
days came in from the south. All the
coast lines from Seattle north, with
the exception of the Whatcom line,
have been cleared.
