In the meantime several changes are to
be made in the list of colonies in the
Coast Artillery Corps. Col. George G.

cember s, and has been given leave of
absence until that date. OF the four or
five colonels just below Col. Greenough
two beside Col. Stewart are likely to be
retired. With the order granting Col
Greenough leave of absence. Col. Stewart
who stands No. >, essentially became the
senior colonel OF the corps on active duty,
If his nondescript status at Fort Grant
may be termed one OF duty. That, how
ever. does not affect his assignment.
1t is expected that when the possible
changes in the list of cOlonels have been
made there will be a reorganization Of
the work of the corps with some i'm

following Stewart in the order Of rank
are Howe, Patterson, Haskins, Harris,

TRAIN WRECKERS FOILED.
Vigilance of Aged Farmer Saved
Express Near White Hill, Pa.

HARRISBURG, Pa, September 21-
Through the vigilance of John Ems
minger, an aged farmer living along
the Cumberland valley railroad near
White HILL a station seven miles south
west of Harrisburg, train wreckers
were foiled at an early hour this morn
ing. Ensminger. who is a sufferer from
asthma, was unable to sleep and was
looking out of window of his home,
which is close to the tracks, when he
saw men tinkering along the tracks
without any lights.
When he stepped out of his house and
asked what they were doing the men
ran. leaving wrenches lying on the
track. The eastbound Norfolk express
was due about that time. and Ems
minger seized a lighted lantern and
tagged the train five minutes later. In
vestigation showed that the miscreants
had drawn out half dozen spikes and
were working on the nuts of the Iish-
plates which hold the rails.
Engineer john Elder and others made
search of the nearby country after
the express had been brought to stop,
but no trace of the men could be found.

SPECIAL JURY FOR HAMS.
Counsel for Accused Not Anxious for
Early Trial.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 21.-The spe-
cial grand jury which is to consider the
case of the Hams brothers was sworn in
today before Justice Garretson in the
supreme court
After the jury had been charged by
Justice Garretson today it proceeded to
the Queens county courthouse at Long
Island City, where it will meet daily un-
til it has finished the business for which
it was empaneled.
Milton B. Smith of Elmhurst was chosen
foreman. Justice Garretson in charging
the jury made no special mention of the
Hams case.
There is a possibility that the case of
the Hams brothers will not be disposed
of by special term of court.
1t is known that counsel for the broth
ers is not anxious for an early trial, and
it is possible that even though indct-
ments for murder are found against
them, the trial may be put off until the
regular term of court.

This necessity is occasioned by the sem
timent in the middle west hostile to the
House organization and centered in the
fight on Speaker Cannon. There is no
question of the extent and seriousness OF
that feeling. In Nebraska it has gone to
such a point that two republican candl-
dates for Congress have found 1t neces-
sary to declare they will vote against Mr.
Cannon for Speaker in the next Con-

Restless Animals.

When you see the animals in the
park menageries pacing back a,sd forth
restlessly in their cages, do not take it
for granted that the creatures are un-
happy or even discontinued. 1t may be
that the lion or the tiger or the polar
bear that moves about with apparently
ceaseless activity is only taking his
daily exercise, without which he would
pine and die soon. When the wild
creatures are in their native jungles
they are kept pretty busy hug ting food.
Thus each day they walk many miles
perhaps. In their narrow cages in the
parks they are plentifully supplied
with food, but their brawny bodies still
demand a great amount of exercise.
Mile after mile is paced off daily by
the uneasy creatures, Usually they
move with long. swinging stride. but
when mealtime comes around then the
step quickens until when the keeper
appears with his baskets of meat the
tigers and lions and other animals leap
against their bars and growl and whine
and lash their tails. In fact. they act
like great hungry boys do after long
days tramp If they. find that SKIPPER is

seem to indicate that it Is the trout
which has already dined well that is
eager for more, while the one which
has not dined at all regards it with in
