To the Editor of The Star:
Your notice of the death Friday

occasion to take note of an interest
ing historical incident with which he
was connected. 1t should be. stated
in passing that the deceased was
commonly known as Col. Weaver.
He was brevetted lieutenant colonel
of volunteers in 1865 for gallant and
meritorius services. He was a first
cousin of Secretary Edwin NJ. Stanton.
Lieut.. Col. Weaver participated in the
last set battle of the civil war. May
Il or Is, 1865. at Palmetto Ranch.
near Brownsville. Tex. He took much
pride in the fact. After a brief serv-
ice in an Ohio volunteer regiment he
was commissioned an officer and as
signed to the 3Sth United States In
fantry Volunteers. He was with that
regiment in the battle mentioned.
The former commander of the regi-
ment died a few months ago in Phila-
delphia. BY reference to the printed
ofYicial records of the rebellion 1t will
be seen that the 3sth (colored) Infantry

ried prices some IS TO 80 points above
the low level of Saturday morning and

ures on renewal of general buying
December. for instance, sold off from
14.4s to 14-43. and then advanced to
l4-al before the end of the first hour,
or about 19 points above the closing
prices OF Saturday. Private cables re-
ported very little offering in Liverpool
Realizing and New Orleans selling,
which some thought might reflect hedg-
ing in the southern market, checked
the early advance and caused reactions

the morning. with December selling
back to 144S. and January to I4.3l

campaigning IN rough country along
the Texas border and in Mexico will
cause the manufacture for commercial
uses of the ideal truck within two or
three years.
The army transport board has been
In session here during the past week
considering the preparation of speci- :
'dcations FOR each type of truck re-
.Quired by the army, upon which auto
mobile makers will be invited 20 bid. .
The board found that the tests to
which the army trucks were subjected
on the border and In Mexico were the
most severe that had been had in any
part of the world. The conditions of
service were quite abnormal, yet the
performance of some of the trucks
was remarkably good.
Experts Of the Society of Automobile
Engineers. acting on the suggestions OF
the board. now are on the Mexican bor-
der studying at first hand the unusual
teoudttions Of weather, sandy grit and
