colored, of 40 North Eighth Street,
who was stricken while at work in the
blacksmith shop in the Richmond
branch of the American Locomotive
Works. Homer fell While working az
his forge, and comrades Immediately
rushed him into the open air and APP

SOLDIERS REFUSE

Company c Will Keep Up Work
in Spite Of Summer
Heat.

AS first fruits of the military enthu-
siasm engendered by the Gettysburg
encampment, Company G. First Regi-
nent. last night BY a nearly unan-
imous vote rejected the offer made it
to suspend drill for one month. The
company held its regular weekly drill.
In consideration of the intense heat.
Major Lawrence r. Price. commanding
the First Battalion. gave his consent
to the proposition tina; the companies
might abandon the regular drills until
August 10. 1t was made optional with
the different commands
Last night was the regular time sos
G Company's drill. Captain Charles
NJ. Wallace put the question 10 vote,
and there was practically no opposi-
tion to a motion to the OBJECT that
all drills should be continued al
usual.
AS general proposition. the men
are in good spirits. and are inclined
to enjoy the recollection of camp life
and to gloat over their improved ply
steal condition and their increased
military knowledge.
1t is now believed that the other
companies, as their drill nights come
around this week. will follow the lead
OF the Guard of the Comm onweal.h"
and will not suspend drills.

In his cell he stated that Carr had
provoked the fight by pursuing him
until he had to turn in self-defense.

knife he took away from the latter.
but it was lost in the shuttle, and no
one could tell last night exactly to
whom the weapon originally belonged.
The quarrel occurred over woman.
Carr said that he was assaulted first.
He was cut nine times. five times on
the right arm, twice in the head. once
under the right eye. and once across
the abdomen. The last cut was the
severest of all Fortunately for the
negro, the wound extended no deeper
than the flesh, or else. said the physi-
clan, 1t might have proved fatal.
Carr was attended by DR.. thurman,
OF the city ambulance corps. who took
twenty-three stitches In the wounds.
