Tho following letter wns lccelved
fioin Thomas Alexander by his sisters,
Mia. Alfred Carwnrdlne and .Mrs.
ThomnB Williams, both of this pluce.
Mr. Alexander Is a former resident of
Korth Scranton nnd nt the commence
ment of hostilities between this coun
try und Spain enlisted with tho KleV
onth United States Infantry, which is
now dolus seilvcu In l'orto lllco. The
letter Is dated August 21 und la as fol
lows: Dear Sister: You aro undoubtedly
nwaro of tho fact that our regiment Is
nafely Installed on Pcrto Hlcun soil. Wo
i mbarked on steamers from tho United
States on July 21 and landed nt l'orto
lllco on August 3, after an uneventful
vovniro but for tho fact of our crowded
condition on board tho ships. The coin-
pa.iy of which I am a member and two
other companies were compelled to sleep
on tho top deck without one bit of shelter.
Our hca vojnge was what may bo called
a smorth one, but nevertheless thcio
were several sevcro coses of sea hlckuuss
nnd ono poor fellow ditd bhortly after
leaching our destination.
After landing wo wero Immediately set
to work unloading Iho ship which con
sumed three days hard labor. After our
work In respect to tho ship hid been com
pleted, wo then be Rim our mulch, though
triumphal, was haider tllll. We mot no
Spaniards until August 10, when we came
suddenly upon a body of COO cf them It
no happened at th time that our com
pany, along with tho irnln armv, wero
half n mile to tho rear, but ere Ions our
chance camo Tor tho advance guard
strengthened by a troop of cavalry suc
ceeded In ousting them from their pol
tlon nnd drovo them tow aids where we
were located. After a brief sit-to In
which the bullets flew uncomfortably
close to us, we found ourselves to have
Buffered a loss on our side of one killed
nnd sixteen wounded.
We camped on the bittlcfkld that night
nnd returned, our march on the following
day which was continued after the (lee.
lug Don. We, however, caught up to
them on August 11 and this time our com
pany formed tho advance guard Wo
wero Instnntly ordered on the firing lino
nnd fought three-quarters of an hour,
during which tlmo we killed seventy
Spaniards.
Their aim wns so bad that all engaged
on the American side eme out of the
pcrlmmago unhurt After we h id put
the Spaniards to flight our company was
ordered down a valley where more Span
iards were encamped. Thcv wire de
sirous of surrendering and we'recolvd
the surrender of forty of them. Including
nil guns nnd ammunition of which they
hart nn over abundent supply.
I will never forget the time that I w is
on the firing line. I did not like to stiont
the Spaniard, but I had to do It. I fired
twenty-threo times, but I cannot say
whether I killed any of them as tin v wio
hidden from view by dense underbrush
In which they had taken (.belter. If I
would go Into details about the skir
mishes wo have had nnd the country. It
would fill a newspaper but ns time Is
very precious I find it dltllcult to write rt
length. The rnln is continuously falling

BENJAMIN REYNOLDS IS IN A
SERIOUS CONDITION.
It Is Not Certain Whether Ho Is
Suffering from Concussion of tho
Brain or Sun Stroke Culm Wash

Completion Funeral of Thomas
Buckley Social Session of P. 0. S.
of A. Was Postponed.
Benjamin Reynolds, of 209 Edwards
court, met with a serious accident yes
terday nfternoon nenr Gravel Pond,
The Injured man was brought to his
residence hero and Is now under the
care of the family physician, Dr. II.
L. Glbbs. He was delirious late last
night and his exact condition could
not bo ascertained.
Tho actual circumstances surround
ing tho case are rather uncertain, Mr.
Reynolds Is either suffering from sun
stroke or concussion of tho brain. He,
with some friends was up on a loud
of hny w hlch was being hauled to tho
bain. His friends weie surprised by
seeing him suddenly slide from tho top
of the load. Ho fell to tho ground, a
dlstunco of about fifteen feet. When
picked up ho was unconscious.
He remained unconscious for some
tlmo nnd since his removal home has
been delirious. It Is not supposed that
his condition Is serious.
WORK ON THE WASHERY.
Steadily tho woik of putting up the
structure for the new Oxford culm
wnshery Is going on. About a month
ago work was begun upon the cutting
of the big Umbel a that go Into the
frame woik. This was finished and
about two weeks ago the flaming wns
begun and has been pushed rapidly
nlong. This week the boarding In la
being done und, ns this Is compara
tively simple work, will soon be lln
l&hed. A large force of carpenters under
master builder Thomas Carey are en
gaged on the work. As soon as the
boarding and flooring Is completed tho
plating of the machinery will be be
gun. To nil appearances the washery
w 111 probably be In operation before
the new year.
Ono fact In reference to the new
wnshery stands out more prominently
than .some others just now. It is that
the proposed extension of Oxford street
through to Meridian will not be ac
complished for a few years yet. This
too, despite the fact that the greatest
obstruction, the culm dump, Is remov
ed. The washery structure Is direct
ly In the line of the proi osed exten
sion and will remain there until every
reason for such a structure to remain
has been fulfilled.
It will take nearly three years to
remove the culm yet remaining though
much of the old dump was removed be
fore the first washery was destroyed
by fire In Apill last. The new washery
will of course remain where It Is for
that time, at least. Another draw
back In connection with the street ex
tension was the lack of necessary
funds to puichnso the Dale property
to complete the extension.

SON KEEPS THE DEED.
Judge Archbald Makes a Decision in
an Intricate Case.
Judge Archbald yesterday rendered a
decision for tho defendant In the case
of Mrs. Louisa Lyman against her son
Louis Smith, a suit envolvlng the pos
session of a lot on Eynon street, and
hinging on the question of what con
stitutes the delivery of the deed.
Before her t-econd marriage Mrs. Ly
man deeded half a double lot to her
son. The son's disapproved marriage
soon afterwards made tho mothervvlth
hold the deed. Their differences wero
patched up and the mother allowed
the son the use of the deed to borrow
monev Irom n building and loan asso
ciation. While he had it in his poses-s-lnn
the son caused the deed to be
recorded In bis own name. The mother
sued to recover It when her husband
refused to sanction its delivery to her
son.
Judge Archbald decided that while
the execution of a deed does not con
stitute a delivery of it, but Mrs. Ly
man by her action in allowing her
son to use it to borrow money on, was
equivalent to consent that the deed
should become operative and gives him
porresslon of It,
The suit was dismissed without costs.
W. S. Dlehl appeared for the plaintiff
and E. C. Newcombe and Charles E.
Olver for the defendant.

JUDGMENT AGAINST PULLER.
Decision of Referee Wells is Made)
Known.
A bill for the construction of a sewer
laid in the Ninth ward In 18S4 was tho
subject of an auditor's report to court
yesterday.
In Julv of that year Henry Snyder
constructed a sewer on Lee court. It
was to be paid for according to tho
foot front rule at the rate of $1.00 per
lineal foot. Two of the lots have a
total frontage of 23S feet, one being HO
feet and tho other 9S feet. Immedi
ately previous to the building of tha
sewer Mr. Fuller made a conditional
sale of the 9S-foot lot to the city, which
sale, however, was never consummated.
He told the contractor In a casual way
one day that the city owned the 9S-foot
lot, but did not tell him of It being a
conditional sale.
The plaintiff averred that Mr. Fuller
signed for 23S feet, while Mr Fuller
a verted that he expressly limited his
liability to 140 feet. The petition for
sewering was lost nnd tho question as
to who was making the correct btate
ment could not be ascertained.
Attorney T. F. Wells, the referee in
the case, decides against Mr Fuller.
"Having stood by while the Improve
ment was being njade and offering no
objection to It except the one of pos
sible non-ownership, he cannot," tha
referee says, "now limit his liability for
the Improvement to his property, which
he has and enjoys."
Judgment Is dliected In favor of tha
plaintiff for $74.23, with interest from
July 1, 1S85. making a total sum of
$132.42. Mr. Fuller had made payments
amounting to $166.15, or $24.75 more
than the 140 foot lot was liable for.
