DRINKS TOAST ALONE TO DEPART
ED COMRADES.
Last Survivor of the Famous Philadel.
phia Greys Holds Regular Annual
"ReuniOn.o

pnI4 GTeyS HOl0S Regular Annual
"ReuniOn."
Philadelphia, Pa, Saturday.-Alone
with the memory of his former COM
rades, who had passed to another life
in response to the final call of ''taps,'
Sergeant Harry l.. Briggs, sole sur
vivor of the famous Philadelphia
Greys, recently drank his solitary
toast to the memory of his former
comrades with whom he once bore
arms in response to the call for the
defense of the nation.
The occasion was the annual ere
union" of the Philadelphia Greys, held
at Thirteenth and Samson streets
where, acting as adjutant and secre-
tary, Sergeant Briggs was the only
one in attendance.
After calling the roll of his COM
rades long since dead he entered the
minutes Of the meeting in the book
and then silently and mournfully
drank his toast to the memory of those
long since and far away"
After an hour or more of retrospect
ton he announced that the next meet
ing of the corps would be held Jan. %
1911, and that If he were not living tC
attend it the books would be returned
over to his son, Samuel Briggs, of No
2459 North Thirty-first street, who
would in turn see that the records
went to the Historical Society of Penn
sylvania.
Last year was the first time that
Sergeant Brigg was obliged to go tc
the meeting alone. In the fall of 1905
two of the three survivors died.. They
were Major Harry w. Hewes and
James Palmer. Sergeant Briggs is
now the only one left, and he said he
intended to continue. the meetings Of
the society until he too was compelled
to answer the final roll call.
The Philadelphia Greys were organ
ized in 1882 by Major General George
Cadwalder. At the time of the Civil
War they were divided into two com
panies, B and G of the Seventeenth
regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers
Colonel Francis E. Patterson was in
command.

Gently of visiting the good old town
of Kingstree and of addressing a
representative audience of her peo'
pie. We must confess we fell IN
love with the old town. There was
much to appeal to us in the physl-

culture and progress, and in the
type of citizenship. We would like
to have stayed longer and seen
more of Kingstree and her people
and shall allow ourselves that pleas
ure sometime. During our stay we
were entertained in the delighttul
home of Mr.. and Mrs. A. M. Gordon.

CHARGED WITH SERIOUS CRIME.
Two Negroes Brought to Jail Ae-
cused Of Criminal Assault.

Constable D. F. Edwards brought
in two prisoners Tuesday and de-
livered them to Sheriff Graham
They are both young negroes, about
25 years old, and are charged with
the serious crime of assault with
intent to ravish. Their names are
Thurber Weaver and Ed. Turner,
and their home is in the Vox sec
ton, where Constable Edwards says
they have borne a fairly good repu-
tation.
The alleged assault took place on
July 2, and the circumstances, as
gathered from Mr.. Edwards, are
about as follows: A young negro
woman living near Savage employed
the two men to haul an organ from
Lake City to her home. she accom-
panied them in the wagon and at
dark near Vox postoffice, where she
says they had driven the wagon
instead of taking the nearest course
to Savage, the alleged assault was
committed.
The defendants statement is to
the effect that the young woman
hired them to haul the organ for
her and refused to pay for their
services. They charge her with
prosecuting them from motives OF
revenge or spite because they insist
ed on being paid.
The preliminary hearing was held
before Magistrate Davis on Monday
and probable case made out, hence
the defendants were committed to
Jail as above stated.

SEATTLE. June 27.-George H. Par

west of the Mississippi river, was ar
rested today on a federal warrant
charging the use of the mails to de-
fraud. Parker was released under $10.-

The warrant was based on a letter
written to B. B. Shepherd of Des Moines,

legged, misrepresented the affairs of the
company for the purpose of selling
stock
The arrest was made by two post
office inspectors and United States mar

surprise. He is reputed to be a mil
lionaire and is said to have come into
his fortune since he has been connected
in a high capacity with the United

now appears more encouraging than
at any time since the flames were dis
covered 10 days ago.
When the temperature of the vessel
was taken today it was found to be
almost normal
This indicated that the fire on the
decks below matches and is so near
out that few days more of pumping
dry and liquid carbonic acid gas into
the hold of the steamship will make it
possible for the matches to be opened
AND the freight removed preparatory
to investigating the damage done.
