for Service In Union Army.

Application has been made by Daniel
Williams of aO3 eth street southeast. this
city. to the adjutant generals depart
ment of New Jersey. at Trenton. for a
New Jersey civil war medal. authorized
by the act of 1906. An examination of his
papers was made by the adjutant gen.

Union army. and participated in some of
the hard fought battles of the civil war.
Dan Williams. as he is familiarly
termed among his G. A. r. comrades. is
given the cognomen of ''the Drummer Boy

fact that he beat his drum first at the
battle of Fredericksburg. where he
sounded the rally to encourage the Union
troops when they were facing the merci-
less musketry fire of the Confederates.
and where Meagher's Irish Brigade was
| almost annihilated by Cobb's Georgia
rifiemen.
1t is claimed he enlisted at Beverly, n.
j.. aged eleven years. five months and six
teen days. and served as a drummer boy
through the war. re-enlisting twice In
Philadelphia. Williams is likely to get
his medal.
Mr.. Williams was connected for many
years with the Washington police depart
| ment. his last position being fine clerk OF
the Police Court. He is at present en-
ployed watchman at the government
printing office. He is member Of one OF
the local G. A. r. posts. and of the Old

ESTIMATES ANALYZED
OFFICIALS PREPARING STATE
MENT FOR CONGRESS.

Possibly no officials Of the District gov
ernment will be more busy during the
next two or three days than will Alonzo
Tweedale. auditor of the District, and
Charles c. Rogers, the disbursing officer.
The urgent deficiency estimates submitted

part of the estimate which relates to the
District.
After careful study of the subject it
will be the duty of the two officials to. pre-
pare short anu concise history of each
item included in the estimates relating to
the District. and this information will be
an important asset for the Commission

plain why they should have the various
appropriations asked for by them.
In this estimate of the Secretary of the
Treasury for the urgent deficiency appro-
priation the District comes in for S24S-
500. which is considerably larger than is

connection with furnishing the new Dis
trict building. which is almost completed.
and which the Commissioners hope to
move into next August. The sum of $142-
600 Is asked for furnishing and equip
ping this building. and the sum of 1000
to maintain the building. such as hiring
an extra force of firemen, engineers
Watchmen, wasnerwomen elevator opera :
tors. etc. Provision was not made for
paying these workmen. who will be neces-
sary when the District occupies it's new
home. in the estimates made by the Com
missioners for the next fiscal year.
Among the more important of the other
items included in the Secretary of the
Treasury's estimates for the District are
s25, 600 for completing the approaches to
the Anacostia bridge, 5000 for cleaning
and repairing sewers $500 for maintenance
Of bathing beach. $1,000 for improve ment
to Rock Creek Park including a public
golf course. 81 900 for expenses of the
schools commission. $2,324 for the pur-
chase of additional land for the Home for
Aged and 1nf1rm, at Blue Plains, D. c.;
10000 for fees for witnesses of the SUI
preme court Of the District; $4,000 for
fees of jurors in the Supreme Court OF
the District; 5000 for placing roof on the
Georgetown market. and 5000 for paying
certain officers in the District courts and
the furnishing of lodgings and meals to
jurors.
