Carlo Milani Bound Over to County
Court for Liquor Trial.

Carlo Milani who was arrested Friday
evening in the act of bringing good
share Of Montpelier's booze supply to
this city, is now in the county jail,
having waived examination in the local
city court on the charge of illegal trans
portation of liquor and keeping, after
the LIQUOR had been condemned and or.
dered spilled. Bail was fixed at $3.50
which was not furnished, no effort being
made to secure q bondsman.
Insanity will probably be the line Of
defense when the case comes up fol
trial at the September term of county
court, and it Is possible that the re-
spondent will in the meantime be taker
to the state asylum for observation.
When leaving Montpelier with hi:
over Sunday supply Of liugor, Milan
was warned that the police were on ths
lookout. but he declared that he didn't

GEN. MEACHAM DEAD.

Interment Of Distinguished Veteran In
Arlington-Fine Military Record.
Rose High I'm Rank In Veteran Or
CARNATIONS.
While 1t was not unexpected, the death
Of Gen. John r. Meacham, SO long and
SO favorab1y known among patriotic
organizations all over the country, but
more particularly In Washington, was
a distinct shock to his many friends.
The end came in the early hours Of
the morning, Friday, Nov. "a. and the
charters Of many veteran organizations
I'm the District of Columbia were
draped in mourning in consequence.
Gen. Meacham came to Washington
from Indiana In 1892, entering the
employ Of the Government In the
Treasury Department, where he re-
NAMED until his death. He was born
in Rockville, Ind, July II, 1874, and
was but a youth Of IT when the civil
war was commenced, but he enlisted
very last, being mustered out Dec. s,
1855. He served in the a1st Ind. en-
tering as q private and being mus
tered out as Adjutant of the regiment.
The 31st Ind. Is designated as one of
the fighting" regiments. 1t was with
Grant at Fort Donelson, losing nine
killed and 81 wounded, and also at
Fort Henry, Perryville and the bat
tie Of Franklin. At Shiloh it lost 81
killed and ia wounded. 1t was in
the Stone River and Chickamauga
campaigns, and in the Atlanta cam
paign it did splendid service. After
the evacuation Of Atlanta it accom-
panied the Fourth Corps in its pursuit
of Hood, fighting again at Nashville.
After the war closed, the 31st Ind,
Gen. Meacham, Adjutant Of the regi-
ment, with the Fourth Corps, was
moved to Texas, in view Of the posi-
BILE complications with Maxmillian's
Empire. But this collapsed without
the regiment being called upon to rem
der any military service. The regi-
ment was mustered out Dec. 8, 1866,
at Victoria, Texas. Out of a total en-
rollment OF 1862, 258 were captured
and I'm Confederate prisons, and alto
gether the total loss Of killed and
wounded was 49,.
Gen. Meacham was among the earli-
est workers in the Grand Army of the
Republic, and was q charter member
of Steele Post, Of Rockville, Ind, serv-
ing for nine successive years as it's
Commander, and might have served
longer had he not removed to Wash
ington. where he became q charter
member Of George III. Thomas Post.
He served this Post one term as Com
mander, had been often on the staff

companionable. and In his bitterest
fights for his principles never made a
lasting enemy.
Gen. Meacham leaves an interesting
family Of six daughters and two sons,
all Of whom are proud Of their fathers
achievements, and widow, Mrs. Ros-
almond B. Meacham, who has been his
gentle lieutenant through all the vicis-
STUDIES Of the years. While he was
winning honors in Grand Army cir
cles she was keeping pace with him in
the auxiliary to that organization, and
became President Of the Department
OF the Potomac, Woman's Relief Corps,
promotion which gave Gen. Meach-
am much pleasure, as he helped to or
ganize George III. Thomas Corps, Of
which Mrs. Meacham was charter
member and its first President.
Gen. Meacham's remains were laid
to rest in Arlington, and the flag
draped casket was almost buried un-
der the fragrant floral tributes placed
upon it. These came from different
veteran organizations, and from church
as well as personal friends.

ant cannot show that he has greater
disability at these respective ages than
is recited above, 1t is of no use for him
to describe his ailments. It is disad-
vantage, in fact, because it will incur
the expense and delay of medical ex-
animation. If a claimant is in fair

for more than is allowed by the Age
