night, too. 1t is expected that there
will be no stopping the bunch until the
line is opened well out Oak street. Ar
arrangements are well under way for bet.
ter organization of the forces than was
possible last evening. 1t is anticipated
that bugler will be on hand as the
pickers and shovelers assemble at Gas
o clock at the junction of High and
Green streets, and the various teams,
under their captains, viii be divided
| into squads and section of the track
will be reserved for the special atten-
| ton of each contingent

drafted and have been advised that

| that they shall corral an additional
number. Each man who gave his serv-
/ ices last evening is expected to do his
bit tonight by bringing another man
| with him, or in case he is unable to
render his services he should send two
in his place.
