MILITARY RIFLE RANGES.
Much Difficulty Experienced in Finding Good
Outdoor flanges.
When the Connecticut National
Guard was organized as the successor
of the state militia after the war, cities
and villages had not spread out so but
that there \vere plenty of convenient
places left for target practice. But the
systemiziugol‘ the practice and thedc-
crease in the number of these places
were well nigh coincident.
The gnardsmen were equipped with
- what then seemed like real rifles, and
orders were issued requiring practice
between May 1 and November 1, taking
the dates as they are today. Eventual-
ly a classification was made which today
stands: Marksman, those making fifteen
or more at 200 yards; first-claSs marks-
men, those making fifteen or more at
both 200 and 500 yards; sharpshooters,
those making twenty or more at both
distances. The score must bemade in
five consecutive shoots at each range.
Beginning this year officers are required
to shoot fifty yards with revolvers—
eighteeu, marksme‘n; twenty, first class;
twenty-five, sharpshooters.
The state supplies the equivalent of
forty rounds of ammunition a year for
ear-hman and awards suitable decoru-
tions for each class. The shoothig can
bevdouo under the supervision of a com-
missioned officer, who shall vouch for
each score any time during the season.
In addition each regiment holds a tour-
nament between regimental teams under
state supervision. The Fourth Regi-
nu-nt, also, has an individual skirmish-
crs'coutcst, the enlisted men firing on
Hwy :ulvauce and retreat at man or
dummy targets.
Those particulars and the progress
made in this important branch of the
volunteer rwrvice, are not mmcraily
known totluiso outside of military cir-
cles. flat the state authorities, appre-
ciating the uced that the men who no.
«husband the practical use of tile weapons
with which they drill in their armorieo
through the wiulcr, do more and more
each your to encourage good marksman-
ship.
Of course wlicu the practice was sys-
tcmizcd, it was essential that there be
utatc ‘atigcs in ovcry town whcro there
wore one or more munpnuics. in many
«ow-sit was imlumsiblo to get grounds
satisfying the requirements of safety
without going sonic distance from the
ccutr-rof‘fbo pnwns or cities; in other
cream, the grounds wore smn taken for
building lots, necessitating another
change. The state. naturally, coldd
only afford to drum and not buy the
grounds. Thus today tbc question of
providing ranges for the different or-
ganimilonu has become a serious one.

The apparent anxiety and the unusual

them to proceed to New York, are ovi-

“The government only desires to meet
the necessities of the Cuban war, which,
having spread over the whole island, pro-
vcnts Cuba from contributing for its cost.
Therefore an extraordinary budget is
necessary. The government has already
been authorlrcd to borrow Moonnloboo,
but to apply to the llunkof Spain for such
a loan would make the fiduciary olroulu-
lion enormous. I cannot mntcnt myself
with the proposals of the Liberal minor-

verdicts. The first ls signed by the entire
six-dibnrlus Evans. Lewis Evans, Thom-
as J. Dickerson, J. ll. (linimplon. Levi‘C.‘
Albertsou, Charles I". Adams—and is as
follows: '
“We, the jury. imponeled to lmcutlgntr~
the cause of death of P. D. Goldsmith and
others, flnd that the sold persons, whose
bodies we have viewed, come to their
deaths by a collision of express train No.
Bil on the Atlantic City railroad and ex-
cursion trnln No. 700 on the West Jersey
and Seashore railroad at a point known as
the meadow tower, nour Atlantic City, on
the 'liUth day of July, at. or about this
p. m."
The second verdict, signed by Charles
Evans, foreman; Thomas J. Dickerson
and Charles H. Adams, follows:
“We. the undersigned jurors, fflso find
that Engineer Edward Farr of the Atlnir
tle City railroad failed to have his engine
untlor proper control on approaching said
crossing, and that 'l‘owermnn George F.
Hnnser, in giving the excursion train of
West Jersey th-l right of way over a fast
express, used bod judgment. We are also
of the opinion that Engineer John Gretn-
cr of said excursion train erred in not ex.
srclslng greater care in crossing ahead of .
said fast express."
The third verdict, signed by Lewis
Evans, Levi C. Albertson and J. Ii. Cham-
pion, reads:
“’I‘hennderslguod jurorsare of the opln ,
ion that. the cause of the collision was the
fnlluro of Edward Farr, engineer of train
pboro signals set against him, who thus
failed to have his train unthr proper eon
irol on upprrmching the signal and cross»
lug under the rules. Thnundersigned in
