work were hurt. Two of them ser
lously injured and the other two were
bruised and scratched slightly. All of
the injured were Slavs. Peter Krako-
vics and Bob Surdar were the ones who required medical attention. A hurryup call to the "Hotel Fitz brought Dr. Walsh to the scene of the accident.

The accident took place on what is known as the skiphoist drums of the blast furnace, where the men were putting in con
crete. Lanqulst and Illsley are the

tie effort was made on their part to

VflKlifnston. Jan. 10. By a vote of
twenty-seven to fifty the house in com

appropriation bill under consideration,
refused to strike out an Item of $1,000,0C0 for the purpose of paying the expenses of regiments, battalions, squadrons and batteries of the organized militia to participate in such brigade or division encampments as may be established for the field instruction of the troops of the regular army. Hay of Virginia insisted that the manouvers did not amount to much, and said that so far as the manoeuvers held in Virginia were concerned they were a farce. Grosvenor Prepares a "Roast." Rut the feature of the debate -was the speech of Grosvenor, who roasted those military manoeuvers very warm-
y. He related the story of the en-
enrrpment held last summer near his home, Athens, O. He said that after getting the regulars and militia into camp they had two or three days of
manoeuvers and then a sham battle. He said he had served four years and upward in the army at a time of active
war. and that with a single exception
ho had never seen any regiment, brl
nde, division, battery or squadron
laanoeuvcr, either in camp or in bat
tle, upon any of the magnificent plans
and detai' they undertook to perform
at his home.
Always Irritation and Conflict. "I do not know," he said, "what oth
er people's experience at the town where I live was, but I know that we
never want to see any regular conglom
erate performance such as that was come near us again." He said there was always an irritation and conflict between farmers' sons and merchants' clerks and men of the regular army.
Some trouble happened In Athens, and a soldier of the regular battery was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. A friend located him in jail.

Regulars and War Department Ac
cused by Grosvenor. That night fifty to seventy-five mem
bcrs of the battery to which the prls
oner belonged slipped out of camp, or
ganized themselves, marched up to town and Into the jail, and as they
were about to attack a guard of in
fantry commanded by a young officer,
a corporal or a sergeant of the state
guard, ordered them to halt. Fifty or
sixty shots were fired and he (the
young officer) fell dead in the street.
"There never was a man punished for anything connected with it," said
Grosvenor. "There never was an offi
cer called upon to report, and there
never was any report made by the captain or other commanding officers
of that regular battery, and the feeble attempt of the local authoiilties to pun.
ish the men who committed that cold
blooded murder was utterly futile for
reasons that I do not care to go into
just at this time under the surrounding
circumstances."
He charged that the war depart
ment, In addition to the regular offi
ccrs and men, had taken up the cudge
in opposition to the authorities and in
opposition to the militia of the state.
