- xEw MARKET. VA. June 16.--
Never was there more de-
lfghtful morning than greeted
i the Howitzers boys to-day.
Monday afternoon the enthusi-
asm OF Harrisonburg was shown by an
outpouring that was embarrassing. The
rain came In a heavy downpour that
lasted all afternoon. 1t was impos-
sihle to move
When the rain grew more reason
able the cooks made a great stew OF
a variety of good things. and 1t was
eninently satisfactory. The boys were
marched to hall, where they dried
and warmed before fire. and slept
we'll on the floor. AT 10 o'clock the
roll was called. II two or three We're
absent lettering In the restaurants,
they had special work assigned them
to remember 1t, but JOY comes In the
morning.
Make Fine Time.
What charming day for march
over the splendid road! In the long
stride they marched. delighted with the
beauty OF the country and happy as
they could be. the party reached Lacy
Springs before 1o o'clock after march
OF nine miles In three hours. A halt
was made where great stream
comes out OF the hill and is large
enough to turn a mill. The boys are
down bathing their feet in the cool
water of the stream. A great bucket
of buttermiik fresh and rich, is greatly
enjoyed while the cooks are busy pre-
pairing the steaks and coffee for the
midday meal.
we have this morning on the pike
left. away to our right the battlefield
OF Gross Keys at the foot of the South
ern end OF he Massanutten Mountain
and the field where Ashby fell and
beyond is Port Republic. where jack
son was nearly captured. 1t was a
fine piece OF generalship when the
general. with inferior force. prevented
the junction of Fremont and Shields
by striking them successfully and de-
feating both.
Honor New Market Dead.
The company reached New Market
at P. NJ in good condition and in
great spirits. All are we'll. with a
few footsore men. The battery halted
In New Market for little while, re-
ceiving most kindly reception. March
ing out to the cemetery, the young
soldiers and their guests stood with
uncovered heads.
Mr.. f. C. Henkel briefly told the
story of the battle of New Market and
the gallant behavior of the Virginia
Military Institute cadets Captain
Myers responded, and for the Howitzers
laid the beautiful flowers sent him by
New Market ladies' on the monument
to the memory of the eight cadets
and other veterans who were killed.
The chaplain offered brief prayer
and the march was resumed.

The public indignation over the action of the city council Wednesday night in turn Ing down the Third wards petition for a primary to choose their representative, spread with the morning to all parts of the city, and was the one subject of con- yersation on every street corner.

 Alderman Estes, who championed the cause of the Third ward voters on the floor of the council, declared 1t a public out rage, and stated that he would cooperate with the voters of that ward in calling any meeting they desired.
 It is understood that date will be ar ranged today, and some prominent speak CTS will be asked to make addresses. The voters of the Third ward are hot under the collar. They say that they are waiting for the scalps of the men who voted against giving them a primary and even go so far as to suggest putting out independent candidates for each of their offices
 The meeting may be held Saturday night in one of the theatres. Some warm times are expected If plans materialize.

tective Andy Sullivan and Messrs. Bass and Green. It was these men for whom MT. Gaston was looking when the first meeting was adjourned until later in the day
 Inside warden David L. Bridges of the county jail and Dick Wray, who was con- fined there at the time. were also ques- tioned by the governor in reference to Millers condition when he was taken to the county jail shortly after he stabbed Rainbow. They stated that Miller was partly intoxicated, and that he also had a bruise on the side of his head, looking as if some one had struck him.
 Present at the meeting were Judge Weaver and a number of the grand jurors who found the true bill against Miller Judge Weaver took no part in the conferences. This conference was really nothing more than a rapld-fire de- bate between the governor and the per- sons assembled there, Governor Conner cross-examining them in way to shame lawyer.
 Rufus N. Rhodes made a short talk, in which he asked the governor to commute the sentence which was followed by other talks by men present Col. John M. Cald- we'll the attorney who defended Miller in his trial, also spoke, stating that the trial had been held under circumstances which proved detrimental to the con- demned man, and it was therefore not fair trial.
 After these talks Attorney Gaston read the legal definitions under the Alabama code of murder in the first and murder in the second degree. Then he made short was nothing more than murder in the second degree.
 Governor Renders Decision.
 At it's conclusion the governor stated that from what had been shown him that there were eye witnesses which had not been examined during the trial, and talk ing this into consideration, with few other things. that he would commute the sentence to life imprisonment. He stated last night that it was one of the hardest cases he had ever tackled and that he spent many hours on it before making any decision.
 During the last week public sentiment turned strongly toward Miller, and peti- tions with several hundred names were presented to the governor. After looking into the evidence, however, he declined to take action in the matter. The men who retained Attorney Gaston were prominent in the real estate, railroad and other lines of business There were many facts pro- duced at the meeting yesterday. but the real meat was In the fact that 1t was con- clusvey shown that at least one man had been in the saloon and witnessed the troubS which resulted In Nambow's aAs ah
