ed to hold their next annual meeting in

Petersburg has determined to have on
Thursday, October 26, sham battle by the
Virginia state troops on the field of the

crate earthworks> north OF the crater were
recaptured by Mahone's brigade with some
of other commands. The charge of eight
hundred or more young infantry at a double
quick, with the rebel YELL, and arms at
a trail, over the very ground over which
Mahones men made their charge on the
morning of the battle, being fired at by the
enemy stationed there, will present a stir
ring and striking spectacle, alone well
worth seeing, but one not less notable
will be the sight of the line of surviving
participants, who. a short time before the
military make their charge, will be formed
in line of battle as on the morning of July
80, 1864, will have a short address from
Col. William H. Stewart, their commander,
and then kneei in prayer.
The committee has invited all surviving
ex-confederate soldiers who participated in

DROWNING ACCIDENT
TWO BROTHERS LOSE LIVES NEAR
GAS PLANT.

A drowning accident occurred on the East
ern branch near the gas plant yesterday
afternoon, In which there were two VIC
TINS Percy Dudley, ten years old. and his
brother, George Dudley, who was sixteen
years old. The older boy lost his life while
trying to rescue his brother, who had ac-
cidentally fallen overheard. Both bodies
were recovered before o'clock and re-
moved to the home Of their parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Joseph Dudley, 1853 X street
southeast. The accident occurred early In
the afternoon and at a time when there
were many persons about the branch in
boats and others on shore. Some of them
witnessed the affair, but were unable to
reach the boys in time to save their lives.
Boy friends of the Dudleys were in other
boats on the branch and made an effort
to reach them when they saw the danger,
but both boys had disappeared beneath
the surface of the water by the time they
reached the vicinity of the unoccupied boat,
and there was nothing they could do ex-
cept to make effort to find the bodies.
When they found their efforts were fruit
less they went ashore and told the police
of what had occurred.
How It Occurred.
Persons who witnessed the accident said
that the younger of the brothers was seen
to leave his seat in the boat and start to
pass George. who was doing the rowing.
The latter was steadying the boat with
his oars and the accident would not have
happened had not Percy struck his foot
and stumbled, falling overheard before he
could recover himself.
II Is said that George waited for him to
come to the surface of the water and then
plunged from the side of the boat to his
rescue. George was known a good swim
mer, and had II not been for the excited
condition of his little brother. who imme-
diately clutched Georges neck. both might
have been saved. However, the little fell
low wrapped his two arms about his broth
ers neck, while the latter struggled des-
perately to keep above the water, and at
the same time reach the empty boat, a
short distance away.
While the two boys were struggling for
their lives in the water their friends hur-
riedly rowed toward them and shouted to
some men on the gas house wharf for
help. When they arrived within a few
yards of the drowning boys the latter dis
appeared beneath the surface of the wa
ter. They went down to their deaths, OBJ
servers say, clasped in each others arms.
A rowboat containing two men from the
gas house soon reached the scene and they
began diving for the bodies, but no trace
of them could be found.
Some of the drowned lads little COM
panions went to the Dudley home and broke
the news to the parents, who were over
come with grief.

CHILD SLAVES. IN INDIA.
Theme Discussed by Bishop Foss Before
Women's Missionary Society,

Bishop Cyrus D. Foss preached the ar.s
nual sermon before the Wonaf's Foreign
Missionary Society at the Metropolitan NJ.
q. Church last night Ladies Of the society
were present at the service IN large NUM-
bers. Rev. DR.. Frank NJ, Bristol, the pas
tor of the church. offered prayer and Mrs.
s. D. La Fetra read the Scripture lesson,
Bishop Foss was introduced by Mrs, NJ. s.
Huston. In the course of his sermon the
bishop said there are today in India 21 ,000,-
600 child widows who are the actual slaves
of the parents of their former husbands.
In speaking of a visit made by him to
that country seven years ago, the bishop
said:
IT went to Bombay, where met Bishop
Coburn and fifteen of the missionary bish-
ops. / found many results of the worship
practiced in that country and the need for
Christianity. I found hospitals for sick
cats, cobras and elephants, which had been
established long before there was ever a
similar institution for human beings, be-
cause Of the belief In transmigration Of
souls. The natives thought that in caring
for some Of the creatures named they
might be accidentally caring for their
grandmothers.

the bones to drop down through crate to

1.-THE condition of the women In India
staggerS the Inauguration Ilris are coIt-
tracted in marriage between the ages Of
five and twelve. If by the time they are
twelve years Of age they are not married
they are considered quite passe. In all
cases the arrangement is made in BUSH
nesslike' way, and the couple become &C
quainted with each other only after the
knot is tied.
IF the husband dies even though the
ceremony has just been performed. she be-
comes widow. There are 21 100000 such
in India today. They can never go home;
they become the bond slaves Of their hus-
bands parents. What do you think OF re-
ligious ideals that make such conditions
posSible?"
