Col. MOsby'n AnnOintmeut.

The appointment of Col. John 5. Mosby to a lucrative position In Wash lngton has given his Montgomery friends much pleasure.
 One newspaper, speaking of the ap- pointment, says:
 Col. John $. Mosby. of the guerilla f@me. seems to be having about as much success in cutting out and cap turing Federal offices as he ever had in cutting out and capturing Federal supplies during the Civil War He has been appointed an assistant attorney Tn the Department of Justice. Since 1878, Colonel Mosby has held q Federal office of one sort and another. except curing the terms of President Cleve- land. Colonel Mosby is a Virginian by birth, but says he has supported every Republican nominee for President since the war. EX-Confederate army officers who became Republicans after the war are so few that each instance is worthy of note."
 For some time Colonel Mosby was stationed in Montgomery as an agent of the Government Land Department. He was shown much attention and made many warm friends while here.

 The facts are that Judge Jones ex- poets within a few days to have a bull let cut out of his shoulder. The operation is not difficult or dangerous. It merely involves taking a bullet from under the skin and although it will leave him some soreness no seri- ous complications are anticipated
 During the war in Virginia Judge Jones while scouting, was fired upon by bushwhackers. He received several shots in the rear of his shoulder. Two Of these were taken out a number of years ago. The old wound gives him pain at intervals. and he has determin- cd to have the ball cut out"
 Judge Jones was busily at work in his office in the federal building yester- day.

FIGHT OF RECRUITS

Three Hundreds Hungarians Bat
tie Fiercely and Two Of
Number Are Killed.

VIENNA, June 4.
While 400 Hungarian recruits wero wait
ing for the train at Neusohl a quarrel
was started among some of their num-
her.
B Eor a while 1t was only war OF words,
but eventually force was resorted to, and
the dispute spreading, the whole 800 were
involved In free fight.
The belllgerents took possession of the
permanent way as their battlefield. and
for three-quarters Of an hour all traffic
was at standstill while the recruits
fought with the utmost fury, regardless
of everything about them.
In the meantime the authorities had
sent for assistance. and large force of
gendarmerie was hastily dispatched to
the scene of the encounter
They quickly grappled with the COM
batants,. and eventually succeeded In
separating the opposing parties.
The fury of the fight may be gauRed
by the fact that two of the recruits were
killed and twenty-eight received serious
injuries.

BELGRADE, June

1oIA4|1IN<A1G<p ouUo
Depste the fact that King Peter has
been unable to borrow enough money to
purchase diadem, 1t is likely that he
will be crowned on June Is. as originally
intended.
AS already indicated, his Majesty, who
is poor, asked his Minister'S to arrange
for the public exchequer to bear the cost,
but the skupshtina refused to vote funds.
The King then sent agents throughout
Europe, with instructions to raise per-
sonal loan for him, so that he could buy
a crown from leading firm of Paris jew
elers, but when the emlssaries returned
to Belgrade they reported that their mis-
sion had been unsuccessful.
A religious service vii! now be held on
June Is, and the King will be merely
anointed in the old Servian monastery OF
Tsicsa. 1t is stated, however. that his
Majesty Is having crown Of brass fash
toned from a cannon. which Is kept as a
relic from the time OF his grandfather.
Kara George, and that the coronation will
take place later, with great ceremony. at
his capital.
