Interesting Details
Some interesting details wete learned
regarding pay day and the disposition,
on the average, of the soldiers’ pay.
The regiments are paid off once a
month, but yesterday the colored sol
diers of the Tenth regiment received
only two weeks pay. Next month over
$26,000 will be distributed. Only
about fifteen per cent of the men ate
married and it Is estimated that al least
sieventy-f.vo pec cent of the pay ia
blown in." the remaining twenty-five
per rent being sent home to wife or
parents.
Out of the entire regiment not cvv*r
forty were away from the camp yester
day without leave of absence, and the
largest number in the guard house was
about twenty-five. No one who wus
arrested In town did any material dam
age, and the two or three sergeants
who were among the delinquents were
reduced to the ranks. While the re
porter was at camp at noon today, the
sun blazing down, and the bugle rail
ing the soldiers to mess, several gangs
of men were at work digging and shov
eling under the supervision of two ser
geants, the work being qne of the pen
alties inflicted for yesterday's miscon
duct.
Others were attending to the neces
sary sanitation work connected with
the camp, this being a penalty also.
The jolly surgeon of the regiment, Dr.
Fuqua, explained the modus operandi
of this latter work, and commented on
the general health of the soldiers at
Camp Dyer.
Major Fuqua was a gallant confeder
ate soldier, serving rtrom the begin
ning to the end of the war. He is an
alumni of the University of Virginia
and the Richmond Medical college. He
was professor of anatomy and physto
ogy at Memphis, but resigned cn ac
count of ill health. Ho Is a member
of ihe American Medical association,
the Kentucky State medical society,
and the Kentucky Filson club, this lat
ter an historical society. Major Fu-

THE PISTOL EXPLODED.
nr. Wm. Adams Is Charged with
Shooting at His Wife. *
A cap and ball p.stol in the hands of
Mr. William Adams was the cause of
that gentleman being summoned to
court today.
The charge against him was shooting
fit his wife.
Yesterday ho was cleaning the an
tique weapon, he said, when it explo
ded.
A witness said Adams had made
threats to bill his wife. However,
the evidence did not show things to
be that way, and so the judge gave him
the benefit of the doubt and dismissed
him.
The main witness for the prosecution
was absent and sbe will be summoned
to hear what she has to say. Her ab
sence was caused by attending a picnic
today.
The court not considering such a val
id excuse for being away, will no doubt
levy a fine on her.

Mr. Theo Fourcher, the well known

copsised, throwing Mr. Foucljer in the
lake. He grasped the boat and being
a good swimmer felt no apprehension.
Hanging on to the craft he floated to
shore, only the worse by a wetting. Ho

Father McMahon paid a tribute
! 10 (he people had gone to fight for
their countiy. He told of
I how here was an Instance where the
first life given from Georgii to the de
fense of the flag was the life of a
Christian boy of whose religion volcea
had been raised to say that lt taught
[that which was inimical to the govern
ment under which we live, this death,
this army lad’s heroism, being the
sternest refutation of such idle

At the conclusion of Father McMa
hon's remarks the remains were re
placed in the hearse and followed by
a military escort to the city cemetery:
tenderly the soldier lad was lowered to
his last resting place, and his soul
committed to his God. A military sa
lute of three guns was fired, taps were
rounded and Corpora! May was left
; sleeping under a wealth of fragrant
blossoms, there to await the reveille of
the resurrection morn.
