m1litiamen was the adoption of res olution favoring compensation to the citizen soldier for attendance at week 1y drills. The resolution provides for the payment of S1 to every citizen soldier for attendance at each drill This is intended as a booSt for the militia. It is claimed that the Ma tional guardsman has been worked pretty hard for the government With out sufficient pay. They have hiked it over Pine Plains and the experi- ences of the militiamen in the Massa- chusetts war game has not yet been forgotten. It was the sentiment of the delegates to the convention at Buff falo that the National guardsman should be paid s1 for every drill at tended. The only compensation that a militiaman now gets is when he is ordered out for actual service. The drills in armories bring no pay what ever.

THREE DAYS DEAD
 ON NEW LONDON WHARF
Body of Henry Grant Passed By Workmen Supposing He Was As feep

The body of Henry Grant, freight handler, was found on Central Yer mont wharf at New London Monday morning, life extinct Believing Grant to be asleep two other freight hand lers passed by the body two hours be- fore without disturbing it. When Grant did not appear in the freight shed at o'clock Alex Zealski of g 1-2 Harrison street, who had first seen the body, went out on the wharf and tried to arouse him. It was then discovered that Grant was dead. Grant was over 50 years of age and was of unsteady habits. He had not been to his room since Thursday night Dr. Heyer said the body had been ex- posed to the weather for at least three days It was considered probable that many persons, who passed the spot where the man lay, to go to the end of the wharf to fish Sunday. suppos- ey just as Zealski did, that the man was asleep. Nobody reported the presence of the body there, presumably because in that neighborhood men may be seen occasionally sleeping in the open air.
 That Grant died in agony was evil depced by prints Of his heels in the ground. The heels lay close to the marks. where they had been dug into the dirt. Grant lay on his left side when he died. The body bore no marks but was beginning to decom- pose badly.
 It had not been decided at mid-af- ternoon whether an autopsy would be necessary Two sons of the dead man survive him, one residing in New London and one in Hartford
