The five who failed to escape now
thought their doom was sure. If there
was doubt of their being hung before, it
was dispelled. They resigned themselve
to their fate, but their surprise was
equaled by their delight as the days
rolled on and no preparations were made
to swing them. Nor was their treatment
worse. On the Sd of December they
were sent to Richmond, and the follow
ing March exchanged as prisoners Of war
about one year after they set out upon
their perilous adventure.
Thus ended this remarkable expedi-
ton, the most remarkable and heroic in
many respects undertaken during the
civil war. Of the twenty-three who met
in Chattanooga April 10, and went down
the road that night, two were left in
Marietta Through no fault of their own,
eight were executed, eight escaped and
five were exchanged-the latter return.

There is at present much terror and

the Northwest at the prospect of their
relatives in Philadelphia whom they Wis.
tied last year avenging themselves for
the Centennial upon them, and numerous
innocent and friendly devices have been
resorted to, with, it must be said, very
Indifferent success. One old man at
Waukesha tried to head off threatened
Eruption of sisters and cousins by the
mendacious statement that his house had
been burned down and he and his family
compelled to take refuge in the barn.
Did this succeed? You bet it didn't
His affectionate sister wrote to him that
it must be perfectly lovely, just like a
picnic, to sleep on the new-mOwn hay,
and listen to the merry songs of the reap
ing-maChines, and drink new. mown milk
fresh from the hen, and that their love
would sweeten and smother over all
minor discomforts, and for him to meet
them on Monday, the 4th, at the after
noon express, and bring two hay-carts
for their luggage. And now that hap
less farmer does not know whether to
sell his farm at a sacrifice and skip out
to the uttermost parts of the earth, the
Black Hills or St. Louis, or some other
bowling wilderness, or to put some ties
on the track and trust to Providence.
Another honest farmer at Paw Paw,
Mich, telegraphed to his brother-inlaw
on Friday:
Smallpox raging here Children had bet
ter delay their visit.
Within two hours (how wonderful is
the progress of modern civilizationy he
received an answer to say:
They have all had it or been vaccinated.

And that honest farmer has doubts in
his mind as to the existence of a Provi-

other, at Ligonier, Ind, sent on word
that he would be most happy to receive
his expected relatives, but the past win
ter had been a very hard one; his cows
had died of the pip; the grasshoppers had
ate up all the apple-trees; he had cut his
thumb while Singing the barn, and been
laid up ten weeks and two days, and so
he had been unable to lift the mortgage
on his little homestead. In this strait he
had thought of taking some boarders for
the summer and family from Minneap-
oils had as good as promised to come and
spend the summer. But for this he
would have been glad to receive his rela-
tives, but another time he hoped to be
able to do so, and to return the many
favors heaped upon him and his But
this did not save him, for the Philadel-
phians made answer by the next mail
that they had heard it was very hard to
get summer boarders at any price this
year, so they would go on anyhow and
if their esteemed relative had an offer
from Minneapolis, and wished them to do
so, they would pay literally for their
board, say $l.75 or 50 a week, which
would be enough in all conscience, see
ing that it cost them nothing for their
milk, vegetables, fruit and eggs.-Chi-

THE seventeen-year locusts have APP
peared in large numbers hereabout. They
first emerge from the ground in the form
of large grub. The wings appear soon
afterward, when the locust settles in the
nearest tree. The noise made by the in
sectsis constant shrill humming. They
do not eat growing crops, as many sup
pose, nor do they in any way resemble
the ravenous locusts of the West. They
devote their time to working in the
branches and twigs of all kinds of trees.
Their perforations in the trees kill the
branches, and the foliage soon turns
yellow. In 1860 the locusts did not APP
pear until June, when the trees were in
full leaf. In two weeks the woods looked
as though they had been subjected othe
frosts of November. From all appear
ances the locusts will be as thick as they
were in that year. Stories of the poison
Gus nature Of the sting of this curious in
sect, which did duty in 1850, creating
much alarm, have been revived, but the
seventeen-year locust is harmless to man
and beast. 1t is an inch and half long
when full grown. 1t comes out of the
ground tail first, and has on its head
white marks forming perfect letter W.
In 1860 believers in signs and supersti.
tions declared that the appearance of
this cabalistc sign denoted war. In
that year the locusts did not entirely dis
appear until late in the fall. People
still living here remember their appear
ance also in 1913. They were so thick
then that the trees were threshed with
whips and dead locusts carried away by
the bushel. They do no permanent in
jury, but interfere greatly with the years

Strong selt-wlll the men controlled their
agitation and waited for the signal from
Andrews. All around was military
camp, there being at least 5000 Con-
federates in sight besides a guard watch
ing the train. At the proper moment
Andrews, who was sitting on the ground,
arises and his men follow him leisurely,
without arousing suspicion. They go to
the head Of the train-two, who are en-
gineers, seize the engine; the first three
cars are uncoupled and before the by
ISLANDERS can recover from their astonish-
ment the men are aboard and the whole
dash up the road like a streak of light
ming. Two were left, making twenty
one aboard. Suspense and concealment
were over, and these men, in the heart
of the enemy's country, 200 miles from
the Federal lines, take their lives in their
hands and go forward. A few miles out
they stop, cut the telegraph wire, and
dash on again. While the wire was
being cut the rest took up a rail and car
ried it with them. Andrews clasped his
hands in ecstacy and declared that it was
a success, that they would destroy all
the bridges to Huntsville and cut the
Confederacy in two.
You can imagine the confusion and
tumult at Big Shanty when the engine
and three cars shot away from its men
and passengers. The alarm was given
in the dining room, and the train men
and passengers rushed out with astonish-
ment depicted upon every lineament Of
their features. The passengers, seeing
that they could be of no service, went
back to breakfast while the train men
stood around like so many poor boys at a
frolic, and didn't know what to do
There was one conspicuous exception
it was the conductor, W. A. Fuller. But
for him the probabilities are that the ex-
pedition would have been success.
Capt Fuller now lives in Montgomery,
Ala, and has often told his friends of
the part he took in this strange affair.
He says the first feeling was one of pro-
found establishment. Then he surmised
that it was spies. The stolen engine
shot away at the rate of mile minute,
and Fuller, followed by Mr.. Murphy,
ran after it on foot. The bystanders
laughed at this, yelling to Fuller that he
would catchup if he was spry in the legs.
Meantime Andrews and his party were
flying along. They dashed by the first
three stations without Stacking, to the
great amazement of those at hand. Be-
fore getting to the next station they
stopped, took off rail, carried it along
and cut the wire again. They boldly
halted at Altoona, telling the crowd who
gathered around that they were carrying
powder to Johnsons army at Corinth
The story "took," and they were not
molested. At the next station they were
TO meet the down passenger train. An
drews boldly stepped in the station,
house took the switch keys and adjusted
the switch, telling the powder story to
all who questioned him. The down train
