He captured the outer lines Of pits and
held on In the face Of a Confederate di-
vision which attempted to beat him of.
Under the cover Of Smiths charge up
to the fort Lew Wallace sent forward
to the captured Charlotte road the
demibrigade led by Colonel Morgan L.
Smith. There were but two regiments
IN the column, the Eleventh Indiana,
known as "Wallace's zouav yes" and the
Eighth Missouri. Both regiments had
been trained as skirmishers. After eX
planning to the men the desperate ma
ture OF the task Wallace told them to
be governed by circumstances, His
words were drowned by their cheers
and cries OF Forward, forward!'
AS the skirmishers advanced up the
slope the Confederates opened from a
forest in front a terrible rifle fusillade.
The zouaves and M~issourians spread
their line until 1t covered the whole
battle front. Volleys were fired over
their heads into the main line OF battle.

an order from Grant reached Wallace
to suspend the attack; but. believing
he had the wedge well in, he ignored
the order and pushed the skirmishers
forward to the Charlotte road again,
cutting Off the way Of escape. His
men bivouacked within 1870 rods of the
enemy's guns. lying on their arms
ready for The expected ounte assault.

Colonel Forrest was full of fight.
He would not surrender and told
Floyd that he would cut a path
through the Fedora ines at any
point Floyd would designate, form a
line OF cavalry around the place of

passed through. The council could not

Some of the prettiest material imagin-

Do not use soap on the face except in
case of extreme necessity during the
treacherouS days of lapsing winter and
rampant spring winds. Find a good cold
cream recommended by reliable beauty

work or a tour of shopping, apply this
cream generously to the face and neck,
rubbing it in gently without massagins.
Wipe the cream away with "a soft cloth

OPERATIONS IN
BUILDING LINE
Architects Have Many Plans
Under Nay at Present.

Building activities continued to
grow the past week. Architect j. K.
Jensen has his office force busy pre-
pairing plans for several proposed
structures to be erected In and about
this city, but he is not prepared as
yet to divulge information about
them. Mr.. Jensen has completed
plans for a new school house to be
erected at Port Reading.
The architectural firm of Dayton
& Smith has plans under way for
additions to the Phoenix Ceramic
Works, located on the line of the
Lehigh Valley railroad between
Fords and Metuchen, to cost approx
imately $4,000. Details for this
work will probably be made public
next week.
The architectural firm Of J. N.
Pierson & Son has plans under way
for a new school house to be erected
at Clinton Falls In Shrewsbury town
ship. 1t will probably be a one-story
structure of brick construction.
There has been some talk OF
making the Kant building at State
and Smith streets four stories in
height. Miss Agnes Kant, the own
er, proposed such a change, but
Architect Jensen and Ira R. Grouse,
the contractor, say there will be no
fourth story and that the building
will be three stories high, as origin
ally planned.
Ground will be broken the early
part of the week for a new residence
for John K. Sheehy, to be erected in
High street at the northwest corner
of City Hall Park.

GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Small Transactions Are Re.
ported No Large Deals.

In summing up the real estate
market for the past week n finds
1t devoid of any large sales, although
a number of unimportant and minor
transactions of unimproved property
In the outlying districts were report
ed, which Is in keeping with the
record made by the market during
the past three months. Interest in
realty circles will be increased, prob
ably, by the announcement that the
property of the defunct Rosett bank
ing firm will be put on the market
at public sale by Joseph M. Conklin,
receiver appointed by the chancery
court. The list includes some of the
most desirable improved sites in
Perth Amboy.
According to reports, the big tract
Of the Wonderland Beach Company,
In Madison avenue, will be placed
upon the market shortly in building
lots. At one time 1t was reported
that this plot Of ground would soon
bear the site of a Roman Catholic
hospital, but from present indica-
tons this Idea, if it ever existed, has
been abandoned. Another rumor Of
interest Is to the effect that a Tren-
ton man Is about to locate a restau-
rant in the building now occupied as
offices by the Pratt-Brown Company.

though it bears all earmarks of

Anyway, it makes good reading and
