There is a swell plant in Boston, he said, where fiftyoe' seventyofivs tons a day are de- troyod.and another in Troy and Wil- 1' llhlgiou. Mr. Brown argued and gave opinions of leading physicians through- . but the .country. that the cremation woold reduce the death rate. and add , greatly to the healthfnlness of the place, The plant in Wilmington had been in op. oration seventeen months and not one cent had been expended for repairs. He ‘ claimed that the cost of building, equip- " plugnnd operating the plant would be eight cents per capita. Its capacity would be twenty-five tons a day. and ‘ one man could operate it. These figures. however, did not include the collection .;;ofgnrbage. which cost in some places. ' 31 nton. Fuel oil was need in consum- ‘iugthe garbage. and coat fourteen cents to every ton.

A Unit of lcrty Companies-drape tc be ted by the State. Governor Cofilnsent to the Senate the report of the commission. General Wil- liam B. Franklin. General Lucius A. Barbour and Adjutant-General Charles P. Graham, appointed to revise and amend the present militia law. The re- port was referred to the committee on military affairs by concurrent action of both houses. The change smade in the present law are as follows: > The adjutaut-general is to have the right to call for the original military en- rollment of any town, and satisfy him- self as to its accuracy. Service for three years consecutively in the militia or in any volunteer lire company shall exempt from the payment of military commuta- tion tax. The governor’s staff is no long- er enumerated as a “part of the National Guard.” The organisation of the gover- nor's staff remains the same. Aregnlar- ly detailed regular army ofilcer may be “appointed" on his staff as inspector (cot commissioned). if the governor re- quests the detail. It is provided that the National Guard in times of peace shall consist of not more than forty companies of infantry; the present law limits the number to forty-eight. Four divisions of naval militia are provided for. as well as a signal corps soda battery of artillery; and a machine gun organization. a hos- pital corps and a band to each regiment. The governor is to organise and locate the National Guard. without the seals. tence of the adjntantvgenernl and the brigadier-generai. as the present law pro video. No man may enlist or tie-enlist whoisover forty-five except that mu. slcians may he enlisted between sixteen and fifty years of age. The brigadler- general is to be content with two order- liee with the rank of sergeant. and the two ordarllss with the rank of corporal are drappsd. Two color sergeants are added to the non-commissioned rind of a regiment. The company quartermaster» sergeant in to be also cemmissary-ssr- gaunt.

Any commissioned oflicer in good standing having served five years in the Q N. G. since 1871 and been bororably discharged may be placed upon the re- tired lish“ »» \ The law under which the naval militia isorgnnized is also revised. It provides that the commander-in-chief may organise four of the forty companies of lnftntryasnspsoialfcrco for octet pro- tection. as the naval battalion. They shall be considered the equivalent of companies of infantry. One of the divi- sions may be organised as an engineer division. Many features in the old law previous to 1893 are restored and the law of 1898 is modified in many respects. but there are no radical changes. except 1‘herhaps the change in the status of the governor’s staff and making the maximun limit of companies forty. This will not affect the present organisation. AN 01.]! MURDER RECALL“). The Plant“! Sues for 35,000. the Man Who Says Ila Killed the Victim.
