 They consist of signal corps bat talion with an aeroplane detachment which would probably fly at once from Hampstead plain to Central park or some other point within the city; two battalions of engineers, ten troops and a machine gun troop of cavalry, IA batteries of field artillery, 8 companies of coast artillery seven regiments of infantry, field hospital, an ambulance company and the quartermaster corps.
 Another 100000 guardsmen would commence arriving the next day from New York state outside the city.

IS CRUSHED BY JUNK IRON
Man in Freight Car Released When Cries Attracted Train
 Crew.

Lafayette, lnd.-When a west bound Wabash freight train was passing through Lafayette one day early the shrieks of man in distress were heard and the train was brought to standstiil.
 When the train crew investigated it was found that James Fisk of Spring field, Mass, aged twenty-four, had be- come imprisoned in a car of loose funk iron.
 Fish had been beating" his way on the train and short time before the cries were heard the train had broken in two. When the cars came to- gether with a crash a mass of junk iron slid over on top of Fisks legs. At the time he was sleeping in the end of a gondola car and it was i'm possible for him to free himself. He could not be rescued until the car had been bumped several times to jar the mass of iron away from his legs He was taken to the hospital in a terribly crushed condition. His cries aroused hundreds of people from their sleep. It is probable he will recover.

SHOW WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Government Census Statistics Give Them Three More Years
 Than Men.

hinston.-Women the United States bureau of census viii show in set of tables soon to be issued, are longer lived than men to the extent of more than three years, and in the case of native whites and negroes, more than 31a years
 The tables, which were compiled in the division of vital statistics, are the first of their kind to be prepared by the government. They show death rates and expectation of life at all ages for the population of the six New England states, New York, New Jer- sey, Indiana, Michigan and the District of Columbia (the original death regis tration states) on the basis of the population in 1910 and the mortality for the three years 1909, 1910 and 1911. They are similar to the life tables" prepared by the life insurance com panies, but differ from them in that they relate to the entire population of the area covered, whereas the life in surance tables relate only to risks se- lected through medical examination and otherwise.
 According to these tables the aver age expectation of life, at birth for males is 49.9 years: for females, 53 years; for white males. 50.2 years; for white females, 536 years; for native white males, 506; for native white fe- males, SAP years; for negro males, 34.1 years, and for negro females, 37 ' years.
 Other facts brought out relate to in fant mortality, median age at death, and the difference between city and country life.
