the purpose of getting concerted action
in the universal transfer campaign, Will
be held at the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce, Thursday night, Octo-

Permission was given by the directors

was held, last night. Letters congratu-
favor of transfers and its activity in the
suit now in court were read, and re-
ferred to General Counsel Chaplin
Brown.
The way in which the Commissioners
had determined upon the increased
water tax was a subject Of bitter criti-
cism. Mr.. Brown reported for the com,
mittee on municipal legislation, ana
showed that the committee had had be-
fore it all the data, which the Com
missioners had as a basis OF their de-
cision to increase the rate. yet the COM
mittee had been unanimous In It's
opinion that an increase was unneces-
Sary.
Mir. Brown introduced a resolution
protesting that notice of any increased
tax should be given and that the clu-
zens of the District should have an op-
portunity to be heard. He said that.
undoubtedly, the action OF the Commits
sioners-and he blamed Commissioner

test, would be found TO be Illegal. r.

said, holding the Commissioners could

Gordon Granger in command,
was distributed over a long
stretch Of country, with its van on the
battlefield of Chickamauga. These troops
had been posted to cover the rear and left
flank of the army. During September
18th, the first day Of the battle. they
were engaged in some skrmishing and
stood at arms expecting an attack.
On the evening of the 18th every indica-
ton pointed to a renewal OF the battle
early the next day. The night was cold for
that time of the year. Teli-tale fires were
prohibited. The men slept on their arms.
All was quiet save in the field hospital
in the rear. A bright moon lighted w
the fields and woods. Along the greater
part Of a front of eight miles the ground
was strewn with the inteIminGled dead OF
friend and foe.

come up from the warm water of the

This quiet continued till nearly 10
o'clock; then, as the peaceful tones of
the church bells, rolling over the land
from the east, reached the meridian of
Chickamauga. they were made dissonant
by the murderous roar of the artillery of
Bishop Polk, who was opening the battle
on Thomas front.
Granger. who had been ordered at all
