a drill of this kind. Troops E, F, and H

as picking up small objects from the ground
while the horse is on a dead run, riding
bucking horses. unsaddling horses by the
riders while the horses are at full speed,
the riders remaining astride the animal.
F Troop will give an exhibition of bare
back riding. 1t is regarded as one of the
best drilled organizations in the United

Guy Preston. Both he and the men of his
troop take personal pride in excelling in
this line of horsemanS ship.

of the exhibition, and the officers and en-
listed men will wear full-dress uniform

and dlsmounted Butts Manual with the

INsANITARY BUILDINGS.
Effect of Crusade by Local Board OF
Condemnation.

The board Of condemnation Of insanitary
buildings has reported to the Commissioners
that during the eight months 1t has been at
work it has succeeded in having 1OS struc-
lures torn down, and have condemned as
many more which will be removed within
the next six months. The Commissioners
look upon this work as one of the greatest
and most valuable improvements carried on
in the District, in that the many dilapidated
structures that have outlived their useful
ness and have become eyesores are being
removed, and In their places fine modern
buildings are being erected. However, the
Commissioners do not expect the work to
be completed for several years.
This board of condemnation was created
last spring by an act of Congress, and has
at it's disposal the sum of $1,000 to spend
annually in carrying out its work. 1t is
composed Of Capt. William Kelley, assist
ant engineer commissioner in charge of
buildings; DR.. William c. Woodward, health
officer, and Snowden Ashford, building in
Spector.
According to the report made to the Com
missoners, the notices which have been
served upon the owners of buildings upon
which the death sentence" had been pro-
nounced are being generally observed, with
out having to resort to legal steps. The
property owners apparently feel that the
board is working in a just cause and that
the law is one which should be carried out
In some instances where the buildings in
spected by the board have been found TO be
only half bad" and not in such a dilap-
idated or insanitary condition as to demand
their removal entirely, the board has given
suggestions to the owners Of :uch buildings
whereby they can make certain repairs and
alterations as are necessary for the struc-
lures to pass muster.
The good effects of this movement are
already felt. In certain sections where a
number of the old, tumbling down struc-
lures that had become disgraceful land
marks have been removed, the appearance
of the neighborhood has been improved, 1t is
said to a considerable extent and when
new buildings have been erected in their
places the Improvement is still more notice.
able.
In carrying out tbs work the board has
found that the greatest number of these
dilapidated buildings We're not in the alleys
alone, but an equal number were in con-
spicuous places some of the most prom

DEADLY BOMB EXPLOSION.
Dynamite Concealed in Iron Pipe at
Pioneer Foundry in Victor.

Victor, Colo.-Without the slightest
intimation that he was to be the vic
tim of diabolical plot which might
have caused the death of a score, Os-
wald Schranz, boy of seventeen, en-
ployed in the Pioneer foundry. met
instant death Saturday while in the
performance of his duties, by the eX-
plosion of an Internal machine.
w. S. Simpson, a fellow employe
who was working beside him, was ia
tally injured at the same time and is
apparently in dying condition in the
hospital.
Whether SchranZ or Simpson had
been marked for death is not known,
but the coroner has gathered clews
which convince him that murder
GUS plot was formed, and he is on the
trail of man whom he believes was
guilty knowledge of it. even if he was
not the principal in it.
The fatal explosion occurred about
2 o'clock in the afternoon. The foun-
dry employees were engaged in raising
a heavy piece of casting by steam der
rick, when Schranz was told to pry
the casting around so that it could be
lowered in the place desired.
He seized an old piece of iron pipe
and was forcing the casting into place
with blows when the pipe exploded.
The youth was instantly killed. His
breast and stomach were blown open
and his internal organs were scattered
over the foundry. Both hands were
blown of at the wrist.
Simpson escaped with his life. but
his recovery is doubtful. A piece OF
the pipe was blown entirely through
his right shoulder, coming out at the
breast bone, and two ribs were cut IN
two by another piece of the flying
iron. He also received severe CON
tusions of the scalp and body.
