something in those little groups at

remember
1t was only few hours they were
here-from the late forenoon trains to
the early afternoon trains for the most
part-a little business meeting where
quaking voices held the fioor-a plain
little lunch in Grand Army hall-and
then home again-and the greatest day
in the year in a number of simple lives
was over. May they come again
every one of them and may Augusta
pay them greater tribute next time
as all the world must do increasingly
as the years sweep by. There may be
a sadness in these meetings, but there
are other things that are worth while
in this busy world.

YESTERDAYS REUNION.
Thoughts That It Suggested to the On
looker-its Sadness and Its Beauty.

Augusta had as it's visitors. yester-
day. the veterans Of the 21st Maine
Infantry-one of Names Regiments
that 40 odd years ago marched out Of
this city, with bright eyes, and youth
full vigor in every fiber of their then
young limbs. Yesterday they met here
again-a few of them. The greater part
came from but short distances, as the
regiment was made up largely in this
vicinity but even short journey must
have seemed long for most of them
for they were bent and infirm, for the
most part, and scarcely head was
seen in the little gathering at City
ball but what was white with the frost
of years. The sight was not without
its pathos, viewed in that particular
light and the thoughtful could not but
let his mind wander back though the
vista of years and think, or rather try
10 think, the thoughts that must have
gone chasing through the minds of
these men as they srasped each others
hands once again-perfapS for the last
time-for the changes come fast in
these regiments now. One had but to
read the roster Of the deaths during
the last year to realize this most
keenly.
This was the sad side There was
another, which though akin to sad
ness, had it's beauty. 1t was to feel
what people on the street felt as the
boys Of years ago passed up and down
with infrm step. One Water street
business man said as he saw a group.
There's the men we owe more than
we can tell" and then went on to re-
mark how he wished he might wear
one of the souvenir badges-not be
cause he was a member, or because his
father was, but that he might pay
some kind of tribute to the visitors
1t was only thought, but of the kind
that inspired the citizen as he watch
ed the men go past.
There was many another pretty lit
lie instance during the short day. One
was TO watch the wives, daughters
and sons Of the soldiers proudly wear
ing the souvenir badges. Another
pretty ceremony was to watch the SOL
der in those little flag emblems on

The members of the Augusta Yacht
Club are discussing the advisability Of
holding their remaining races at some
date in the future, and it seems more
than probable that such a step will be
taken. The unfortunate rain of Mon
day was most disappointing. but has
in no wise discouraged the members of
the club, who believe that the other
races may possibly be run off some
Saturday afternoon with the parade in
the evening. Those interested do not
believe there is any great obstacle in
the way Of such an arrangement and
the Augusta public would be delighted
as carnival Of the sort planned for
Monday would certainly make a de-
lightful event for our inland city. The
matter will be taken up at a meeting
OF the club in the near future.

Especially - Frederick Arnold

that he had laid out in the Young

out and that he expected to kill her"
Immediately the black can was
placed over Andrews head and the
moose adjusted. While the chaDIoin

in an adjoining room. When the
weight dropped. Andrews body shot
three feet into the air. His neck was
broken, and, after the body had hung
suspended for so minutes. life was
pronounced extinct by the attending
physician, and was then cut down.
Ten minutes later Arnold was led
out. He stepped on the platform
with firm tread, never losing his
nerve for an instant. When asked
if he had any statement to make, he
replied in the negative.
At exactly 9:07 Arnold was
launched into eternity in exactly the
same manner as his partner The
same lapse of time occurred before
the body was cut down and removed
to the penitentiary morgue Both
bodies will be inferred in the prison
cemetery at least temporarily.
