A regular meeting of the Association OF
the Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Co
lumbia was held last evening in the Cor

w. H. Harrison, George Woodbridge and
Thomas H. Wiley.
The meeting was called to order by the
president promptly at o'clock, and after
disposition of several preliminary matters,
special business was called for. Plans for
a grand memorial celebration the first We'd
nesday in December were discussed and met
with hearty favor. A motion by Mr. Mich
olas Watkins for the appointment of COM
mittee of five members to perfect arrange
ments for the celebration was adopted. The
committee will submit report on the mat
ter at it's next meeting.
There was considerable discussion pre-
vailing on the question of sending a repre-
sentative member OF the Oldest Inhabitants
to attend the District day celebration at the
ST. Louis exposition and to defray his ex-
penses. The suggestion met with hearty
favor among the members, and was dis
cussed by Messrs. Noonan, King, Watkins
Cotton and Others, A motion carried pro-
viding for delegate and to appropriate the
sum of $50 to meet his expenses.
In a complimentary speech Mr.. Watkins
recommended Mrs Benjamin W. Reiss, the
recording secretary, as the delegate The
speaker stated that he would like to see
large delegation of the members sent to at
tend the District day celebration, but as
that was impractfcable7 he had named Mr.,
Reiss. In few remarks Mr.. Noonan sec
onded the suggestion Of Mr.. Watkins. as
did Mr. Cotton. No other nominations were
made, and Mr.. Reiss5 was unanimously.

speaker said he felt happy over the compli-
ment and deemed it enc of the greatest
honors that could befaH him to represent
the association on the occasion named.

could be paid to him by his fellow MEM

Marking and Scoring.
The manner in which the marking and
scoring is being done during the pres
ent meet is such a vast improvement over
the work of that sort of former years as
to have evoked many complimentary re-
marks from the rifiemen visiting here
The Goth Company, Coast Artillery. United
Ice as markers in the pits, and the men,
bers of the command are performing the
duty perfectly. Behind the butts, at each
range, a sergeant is stationed to see that
the men attend to business. and il is very
evident that they do so. Almost at the
moment n target is shot on it is pulled
and marked, and the marking is so uni
formly accurate that there has been
most refreshing dearth of challenging
shots.
The scoring is looked after by a party
OF college students, who are on vacation.
They have been in camp here since early
last June and are paid for their work and
furnished Communication of rations. These
students have been on duty as scorers all
summer in connection with the official
rifle practice of the teams of the National
Guard OF the state of New Jersey, and
naturally became expert weeks ago in
the work assigned them.

rule. employed young boys from the

from Nashua crashed head-on into an ex-
ira freight from Portland that was wait
ing there to meet it. a Boston & Maine
car on the train standing still disap-
peared and for hours the efforts of the
railroad men to find it were unavaiing.
The accident occurred little afte
midnight. From that time until day
light the railroad telegraph operators
along the line from the scene of the
wreck to Portland made the wires hot
in their efforts to trace the missing car,
as it was thought that it might have got
uncoupled and jumped from the train, or
had been left at some station
The mystery of the lost car was solved
ar dawn. when the car was found driven
completely into a car Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The cars had been tele-
scoped in such a way that by lantern
light they looked like one whole car.

The telescoping of these cars was re.
