REUNIONS HELD.
5th Me. Battery.

The 9Th Me. Battery held its Annual
Reunion Thursday, Aug. 25, at Lewis.
ton, Ne This battery held Culp's Hill
at the battle of Gettysburg nearly bt
years ago. It was only remnant OF
the gallant old 5th Me. Battery that
met in Custer Post Hail, but they made
up in enthusiasm what they lacked In
numbers. This battery has a great his
tory. II is a well-known fact that a
battery cannot charge and then retreat
like light infantry. The men must stand
with their guns, and the 5th Me. Bat
terry planted it's cannon and stood, by
them in 21 pitched battles and lost
only two guns at Cedar Creek and -four
at Bull Run. Those lost at Cedar Creek
were recaptured the same night, and
|6S cannon were taken by the battery
from the enemy.
At the battle of Gettysburg the bat
terry took its position on Culp's Hill
and held the point right straight thru
the rain of fire in the darkness of the
night. when they were charged by the
Louisiana Tigers, one of the crack regi-
ments of the South. 1t was at F'reder-
icksburg Charlottesville. Cold Harbor
and score of other battles, and II
never flinched nor quailed. The 18th
was mustered out at Augusta in the
Winter of 1864. It's first Commander
was Capt. George F. Lapine, Regular
Army officer, and later Col G. T. Stew
ems, who continued with it to the end
At Cedar Creek five horses were shot
away from the guns, but two OF the
battery, Thomas Menneally and Capt
Stevens, seized the pole. and by sheer
strength pushed and saved the gun
This was done in full sight of the ene-
my at less than 100 yards and under a
terrific fire. 1t is said TO be one of the
braveSt and one of the most dare
devil acts of the whole war
and the whole army cheered al
me sight. At the battle of Chancellors-
vile the 5th Me. Battery faced IS
pieces of heavy artillery at the side of
the plank road near the ChanceIlors-
vile house. Capt. Lapine and % men
were killed in a few moments. Forty
terry lost one oaisson and five gun linn
ond gun was heated in the muZzle and
put out OF action, but they held the
place.
The Reunion was presided over by
President. Powers, who gave an ad-
dress of welcome. The Secretary, Geo.
4. Bowie. of Gardner. read the minutes
and large number of letters from COM
rades, who are scattered all over the
country. In the election of officers
benjamin S. Smith. of Gardner. was
elected President; Franklin Maxim,
South Paris, Vice President George A
Bowie. Secretary and Treasurer. The
old commander of the battery, Col.
Stevens, was present. and made his
comrades an interesting talk.

Early. the orator of the day. in his
address, said that when he last saw
Winchester it was amid the din of bat

desperate and unequal struggle. He
contradicted the Personal Memoirs of
Gen. Grant ana the Army and Navy
Journal in reference to the number Of
those engaged in the battle, and said
that the number of Confederates was
less than 1900 as compared with So
600 Union troops. He spoke lightly of
Sheridan's famous ride, which he in

Nobody doubts the bravery and gem

the men. Early acknowledges the loss

and thousand or more prisoners, one

had, and he must have been unusually
supplied with artillery and wagons to

lis ARRESTED
ON SUSPICION
Police Release Man Taken
Into Custody for West
Chester, Pa, Murder.
PROVED An ALB

A letter received by Chief of Po-
lice Burke from the police of West
Chester, Pa, Friday night, asking
that the supposed murderer of a
woman and three children be loca-
ted here, resulted yesterday In tho
arrest of Charles Pekar, a laborer
employed in q steel works at
Chrome. He proved an alibi, how
ever, and was released by Chief
Burke.
For two days a search for the
whereabouts of Pekar kept the po-
lice continually on the mover. Pa
trolman Gutowski was detailed Sat
urday to locate the supposed MUIR
derer, and with the assistance of De-
tective Serj. Huff, arrested him as
he emerged from the Greek Catholic
church in Broad street yesterday.
Pekar was declared by R. o. JEFF
ferris, chief Of police of West Ches-
ter, to be the murderer of a Mrs.
Soos and her three children, killed
last Tuesday. The letter stated that
he was residing with a family at
308 Fayette street, in this city. Pa
trolman Gutowski and Detective Huff
could not locate him there, however.
He was traced from the Chrome
steel works to the Greek church In
this city, where his arrest followed
yesterday.
When examined at police head
quarters, Pekar denied all knowI-
edge of the crime. He produced bank
books proving that he was in this
city when the crime was committed,
and he denied having aver hean naar
West Chester. He was released.
