DYNAMITE HURLED
At SALOON.

Early this morning a
bomb supposed to have
been filed with dynamite
was hurled into a saloon on
Pacific street. between Kear-
ny and Montgomery. The
side of the building was
blown out.
The police searched the
neighborhood for the bomb
throWer, but did not succeed
in finding him.
No reason can be assigned
for the bomb throwing
other than revenge.
The saloon was owned by
"Bill" Fayer. One woman
was slightly injured.
The explosion shattered
windows in the neighbor-
hood and created great ex-
citement.

BATTLE
A Feature OF Military Description Hereto
fore Neglected by Hist 0rians.

One of the publishing houses is said to
have under way a project for q joint history
of the civil wal TO he written in combination
by a Major-General of the Union army
(Howard) and a Lieutenant-G General Of the
Confederate army Qee).
The field of war literature has been fairly
we'll covered, but there remains one feature
Of military description which, however I'M
satisfactory it might be to soldiers and to
tho Sc having technical knowledge of the
art Of war, would be a refreshing novelty to
laymen If IL we're introduced into the new
history. That is a comprehensive account
Of a battle-comprehensive and compre-
hensible.
The ordinary style of battle description
as written by soldiers goes to the extreme
OF technical detail about as folio ws:
Our line extended for about six miles
irregularly from the fork of thep plank road
to the BAN of the Suslueegee, one mile
south by west from the Tobin farmhouse.
On the left was Johnson's corps connecting
with Majors detachment of sharpshooters,
behind which though a little tn the front Of
the Williams brtgade) was the Jones a v
airy,
Along the centre were the corps Of
Thompson, Roderick and Henderson,. On
the right were irregular masses Of cavalry.
the heavy artillery Of Smiths brigade, de-
tach ed from the Sanderson legion. There
were in all $4,000 troops, and any one stand
ing on an eminenoe could from the above
description see exactly how they we re
placed.
Opposite, nine divisions of the enemy,
variously estimated at from $500 to 5000
me n, awaited the signal to attack. At the
first shot Johnson's brigade moved dag
onally In front Of Thompson's division, sup
ported by Smiths brigade, which cut OF
the advance Of Sandereon's legion.
3The forces of Roderiok fell back and
those Of Major advanced northwesterly
throwing 1000 men into the entrenohments
between the line Of Henderson's force and
Smiths detachment. So placed, our forces
We're ready to Withstand, either on the
enemy.
"As may be seen at a glance from this
changed position, the enemy crossing the
plank a near Thomas's barn could
by a flank movement the por-
ton of Roderick's detachment which,
notwit hstanding an enflading fire, had
crossed to the position vacated by Sander
sons troops in their conoentrio movement
toward the Roberts farm. For three
quarters of ar hour the battle ragged within
these lines, when a sudden shout going up
from the extreme left wing showed that the
Jones forces had crossed i%rregularly to a
sons brigade.
"This slillfui tactical movement turned
the ,enemy's right in confusion and it fell
back OF Warren's Hill, around which the
battle now ragged. At noon, the enemy
retired, leaving 1920 prisoners, 500 stand
of arms, 0 gun and enormous stores. Our
loss was 4 wounded and II missing"
