were already ut work under the fort,
but the opposing gangs of laborers did
not detect the presence of each other.
The deep mining of the Federals was
done by experts. and mt the end of
three days they had eighty feet of gal
lery completed under the parapet and
filed with 1900 pounds of powder.
Although fully appraised of the dam
ger, the Confederates were unable to
stop the enemy's work. Their big
guns bearing on the ground in front
had been silenced, and they could not
sally out to attack the Federals with
out coming under the awful fire of
musketry and artillery poured upon

to impede the miners was made by

under the parts of the fort that still
defied them.
On the day of the Fort Hill affair
the Confederates exploded two of their
countermines, engulfing the rollers of
the Federals ut work over the mine
and filing in their trenches. A day or
two later the ConfederateS rolled a
barrel of powder containing a slow
fuse down upon a timber screen used
by the besiegers to cover the work OF
digging. The charge of 125 pounds eX-
ploded on the mark and sent the tim
bers and other material high in the air.
A new screen was built in the night,
and the miners toiled on, finishing their
work and opening a crater by another
explosion. Grants success at mining

lenses, General ]. c. Pemberton, that

But the Confederates soon recovered

Of the situation. They climbed the

A cavalry division under General D.

He stood fast while the real move

Fifty years ago June % was a day of

The construction of the Fort Hill
mine involved an advance of over
1000 feet in the cnemy's line, some Of
the distance being exposed to cannon
fire and the bullets of vigiant sharp
shooters. The advance was made step
by step. Working at night, the sappers
opened a trench for distance deep

and deepened the trench and at night
passed on another stretch.
After proceeding 400 feet the sappers
excavated large square and with the

EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
 FOR THE SUMMER. Proposed by Norwich Federation of
 Churches.

Acting upon a proposal made before the quarterly meeting of the council of the Norwich Federation of Churches, the council voted at it's meeting We'd nesday night at Broadway church to conduct an eVangelistic campaign here this summer, provided the committee on evangelism would assume and sue ceed in raising the $500 which it was estimated would be the cost of such a series of meetings. The proposal for the series was made by the commit tee on evangelism in it's report to the council.
 There had been under consideration a plan to hold meetings in the Thayer lot at the corner of Bath and Franklin strets but this lot was not available, and the other plan of using a truck and having two or more services a week and one on Sunday was sug- gested instead by the committee, of which Rev. F. O. Cunning is chair man.
 President B. P. Bishop presided at the meeting, which followed a nice supper served at 6.30 o'clock.
 The A M E. Zion church was added to membership of the council
 One resolution was passed thanking Miss Marion Swan for doing all the typewriting for the Federation and another of regret at the departure from the city of General Secretary F. R. Starkey of the Y. M. C. A.
 Department reports were presented and the churches were notified that it was time to name new delegates to represent them on the council.
 The chair was instructed to appoint a nominating committee to bring in names for the October meeting.

DIR. JORDAN'S OPERETTAS
  Please Large and Critical Providence Audience at Members Night of Aron Club.

Dr. Jules Jordan of Providence, a native of Windham, long director of the splendid Arion club made a big success this week, of which the Prov ldence Journal said
 The announcement that the AriOn club would for it's members night pro- duce three OperettaS by Dr. Jules Jor- dan, under his personal direction, was of sufficient interest to attract a large audience to the Talma theatre Tuesday evening, and the hall was filled when the curtain rose on the first operetta. A Princess of the Blood, in which the scene is laid in an island in the tropics.
 The second operetta, Star of the Sea, showed the interior of a fisherman's cottage on the coast of Brittany, and the scene of the third, called An Eventful Holiday. was laid in gen tleman's country nlace in the vicinity of Washington, D. C.
 The Operettas were all pleasingly staged, the costumes were attractive, mented by an orchestra which play ed with good judgment under the direc- tion of Dr. Jordan
 The plots were of considerable va riety and in A Princess of the Blood the flow of tuneful music continues almost unbroken from beginning to end.
 The Providence Tribune said:
 Expectations were high concerning this first performance by reason of the composers former successes in this line but it is safe to say they never have been so entirely successful as Tuesday evening The music of each one of the pieces proved to be delight full, being filled with bright, sparkling melody and colored with varying tran sitions of dramatic interest and unity that goes far to prove Dr. Jordan a fine librettist as well as musician.
 Said the Providence News:
 Under the personal direction of Dr.. Jordan the concert was all that could be desired, and the immense audience bestowed loud and we'll deserved ap- plause.
 In a long and complimentary review the Pawtucker Times critic wrote:
 There is no choral work in these op- erettas, but it is easy to see how each of them could be enlarged and ampli- fled into a more ambitious production if the author so desired. As they stand, however, these little musical plays make up a delightful evening 8 entertainment.

WILSON HESITATES ON
 SUNDRY CIVIL BILL.
Evidently Has Not Made Up Mind
 Whether to Approve or Veto 1t.

Washington, May 2S. - Whether President Wilson will sign or veto the sundry civil bill with it's clause eX- empting labor unions and farmers or ganizations from prosecution under certain appropriations set aside for the operation of the antitrust laws is still an open question.
 The president today talked with Senator Martin of Virginia and Rep resentative Fitzgerald of New York. chairmen of the two congressional committees on appropriations, about the bill. Al the conclusion of the con- ference White House officials were si- lent. Senator Martin said he had no intimation that the bill would be ve- toed, and Representative Fitzgerald was not inclined to discuss the subject al all.
 Pressure has been strong from many sides urging him to veto the bill on the ground that it sets up a precedent for class legislation, which objection Mir Taft cited in disappearing the measure on March 4 last.
