7. NJ. JONES GETS
DISCHARGE
Interesting History of Bill That
Makes Him States Youngest
Soldier
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, d. c., July 30. The
military record of Colonel Thomas M.
Jones, an old-time Harrisburg news
paper correspondent, is corrected by, a
bill ~favorably reported yesterday by
the House military committee. 1t APP
pears that tones went to war at the
age of II, and acted as a drummer boy
from September is, 1862, to the follow
ing April. when his father compelled
him to return home. He was in a COM
pany which had not entered service at
the time.
BY the provisions of the bill, Jones is
mustered into the service and honor-
not carry any pension, but permits
Jones to become a I'M of the Grand
Army of The Republic.
Mr.. Jones served in the Union army
as a member of one of three unattach-
ed independent companies from Penn
s%ylvania, being a drummer in Company
c, Independent Regiment, recruited in
Warren, Pa, and commanded by Cap
tain Dewitt c. James, a son of the fam
Gus General Joseph James, of Warren.

and was minus a drummer. 1t was
camped on the field at Second and Fors-
ter, owned by the late Mrs. Sara Haley,
and was known as Camp Haley, there
being two other companies there.
on September 6 Mr.. Jones applied to
Captain James to be enlisted as a
drummer, and was accepted. and from
that time until the company was or
dered to Washington, in April, 1868, he
performed his duties as a drummer
faithfully. When the was or
dered to Washington the young drum
mer was a~stounded to discover that the
little of being clustered into
the service had been withheld in his
case, and his parents were 10th to let
him go to the front. He lost his place
as drummer after serving to the best
of his ability.
Many old soldiers still residing in
Harrisburg knew him as a drummer in
the army and have offered their as
sistance in securing him an honorable
discharge, holding that as he served
he had a right to the honor of a dis
charge. The War Department at
Washington, however, declined to issue
a discharge on the ground that he was
never mustered. There was but one
way to get a discharge, and that was
through an act of Congress.

its Introduction, and while it was in
the hands of the committee on military
affairs, of the House, Mr.. kreider kept
continuously at work to have the bill
reported. But ii takes a long time to

action. and it will then go to the Sem

Hunters and Anglers
Want Two Commissions
United; Wildman Censured

At a meeting of the local branch of
the Hunters n Anglers Association
last evening in the hall of Samuel H..
Garland, the members voted to ask
the Legislature to unite the fish and
game commissions of the State. A bill
with this in view will be prepared for
introduction at the next session OF
the Legislature.
The association also passed resolu-
tions ~censuring Augustus Wildman for
his vote on the hunters license bill
at the last session of the Legislature
and a committee was appointed to in
terview the various legislative candi-
dates in Dauphin county as to how
they stand on matters of interest to
the hunters and anglers. The Wild
man resolution in part follows:
Whereas, While the Hunters and
Anglers Protective Association of
. ennsylvania is a n~onpartisan organi-
zation and reluctant to engage in
political strife or express party pref
erences, the members are morally
pledged to oppose for office those who
betrayed them by giving support to
legislation so clearly a~ntagonistic to
the best interests of the hunters of the
State, therefore, be II resolved thai the
members of the Hunters and Anglers
Association of Pennsylvania be re-
quested to individually n collective
ly exert all their efforts and energy to
defeat Augustus Wildman who is "a
candidate for reelection to the Gen.
eral Assembly for the district"

To TAKE
FREQUENT INSPECTION
TRIPS OVER TOWN
Commission Believes 1t Can Thus
See What's to Be Done
Better

City Council will take little auto
trips of inspection about town every
couple of weeks or so. The commits
n decided hat this morning fol-
lowing a trip to Summit and Market
streets to look over. the grading prob
lem, up town to inspect a small side
street which is to be paved, and then
out to the proposed new formal en-
trance to Reservoir Park at Twenty
first and Market streets.
Council incidentally may meet in
special session late this week or Mon
day of next week to decide just what
plan, If any, will be adopted to settle
the Summit street problem.
All h Councilmen and City Engi-
neer Cowden met at Summit street.
This has been the grading bone of
contention for years. Summit street
at present ends abruptly in a flight of
steps on a bluff some hundreds of feet
south of Market. To grade the street
to Market itself would be far too cost
ly. City Engineer Cowden, however.
has suggested two other plans.
One provides for the grading of Mt.
Pleasant street from Evergl cen to
Summit; the other calls for the closing
of Summit street to ira NC at the cluff
and construct a series of steps for pe-
destrians from the bluff to the remain
ing portion of Summit street below the
bluff. Both plants will cost several
thousands of dollars.
The Councilmen thought so well of
the inspection trip that they unani-
mously decided to try 1t again-often,
probably as much as twice a month.
1t affords them better opportunity to
see what they wish to do.

There are no stipulations, it is I'M

without charge to those who will
