STARVED TO DEATH By THE REBELS
There died in this city, on Tuesday, man
named Edgar B. Trumbull, of starvation.
We relate his story as tol just before his
death: He belonged to the LIST cavalry, was
taken prisoner at the same time as the la
mented Brodhead, and was sent, along with
5000 others, to Belle Isle, n. C., where they
were cofned in space about as large as tuo
ordinary city lots. All the food allowed
them was fire ounces each Of musty bread
per day. to be washed down with an equal
proportion of miserable water. Under this
kind of treatment his $50 pounds of flesh
wasted away to seventy-five pounds Of skin
and bones, when he was exchanged. BY
taking large portions of whisky and quinine
he succeeded in keeping body and soul to-
gether until he reached this city. where he
died in few hours.-Dtroi Idcetiser and
Tribune.
