Is feared by his wife that he has been
either drowned or fatally injured When
seen this morning. Mrs. Nicholson said she
was ready to believe that her husband had
been drowned or had met with some tragic
end. She is hopeful however, that he will
be found. According to the police Nicho-
son disappeared once last year, and no
trace was found Of him until three months
had elapsed.
Mrs. Nicholson told Capt. Boardman of
the detective bureau that her husband was
a sufferer from vertigo and that she
thought he might have been stricken with
that ailment. Search has disclosed that no
man answering to Nicholsons description
has been found in any of the local hospi--
tails, and the police are making thorough
search elsewhere to locate him.
Five Hundred Dollar Fire
II. A. Roth's grocery store. 1885 34th
street. Georgetown, caught fire late yester-
day afternoon. The cause of the fire is not
known. but it Is believed to have originated
from lighted match thrown among some
wood and paper in the cellar. Mr. Roth's
family live on the upper floor of the struc-
ture and the flames had gained considera BILE
Roadway before they were rescued and con-
veyed to place of safety.
At the time the fire was discovered Mr.
Roth was in the store waiting on some
customers when the smell of smoke aroused
his suspicion. He hurried.y notified the
members of his family, but they were al
most cut off by the smoke which came up
the areaway from the burning cellar. Re-
spending to an alarm, the firemen were
soon upon the scene. The flames had
climbed up and were eating their way
above the cellar floor Several streams of
water were played upon the structure and
tie flames were soon eXtinguiShed. The
loss will not exceed 500. Much of his per-
sonal property was saved. TIE damage
was principally in the groceries ana store
fixtures. Fortunately no one was hurt and
the loss is fully covered by insurance.

who are ambitious is to enter the artillery
branch of the service. Only men of ex-
ceptional ability and energy succeed, how
ever, as the entrance examination is ex-
ceedingly intricate and includes, among
other subjects, the most advanced mathe-
mates. The material for the Artillery
Corps is chosen with much care.
From the summer of 1897 until June 80
1903. the National Guard of the District
was without what might be correctly termed
an artillery organization. The brigade did,
however, possess the remnants-seVeral
field pieces of small caliber-of Battery A
Light Artillery, which was disbanded dur
ing the summer of 1885. Most of the mem
bers of Battery A severed their connection
with the Guard. but few were transferred
to other organizations.
The need for an artillery command was
felt for several years. Therefore General
Harries directed that a battery of field ar
tillery be organized June 8. 1903, and des-
ignated Capt. Thomas Maroon quartermas-
ter of the LIST Regiment, who at the time
of the disbandment of Battery A was pro-
NOTED from the first lieutenancy thereof
and transferred to the LIST Regiment staff
to organize and command the new organ
ization.
At the end of June, 1903 Capt Marion
had enrolled fifty-two sturdy and energetic
men, who We're mustered into service that
day. The number of enlisted men was
soon increased to sixty-four. Subsequently
Sergt. Maj Henry F. Marshall I'd Regi-
ment was commissioned senior first lieu
tenant of the battery and the non-commis-
stoned officers were named.
Has Modern Equipment
The equipment Of the battery is of the
latest pattern. The battery is composed of
four field pieces. four caissons, a supply
wagon and combined battery wagon and
forge, each drawn by four horses. The
members of the battery saw their first real
warlike service in July, 1903. when they
marched from Washington to Leesburg
