Incidents of Morgan's Raid Through In

Madison Courier, 3oth.

Madison Courier 3oth.
We remember hearing a farmers wife,
from the neighborhood of Dupont telling, in
1863, how Morgan made her get out of her
bed that he might roll in and sleep. Another
case happened in the western part of this
county. A farmer hastened TO meet Morgan,
invited him to dinner, showed him his place
and stock and protested his ardent Democ-
racy and devotion to the Southern cause
Morgan ate heartily and said nothing. When
done he mounted his horse and rode away.
One of his black servants turned to the
farmer and remarked: General Morgan
wants that fine boss" "You must be mis-
taken, General Morgan is my friend" cole
man, bring out that boss, the Gineral wants
him quick The old man, who loved the
Southern cause brought out the horse and
the negro mounted him and took him off

the character better than knight"

Burned or Mangled on a Train.

One of the most awful railroad accidents
that has ever taken place on the Pacific coast
on record this side of the Rocky mountains
occurred at an early hour i'll the morning on
the Southern Pacific railroad. when nine
teen passengers and two sleeping coach por-
ters lost their lives by being crushed or
burned to death in the wrecked cars. len
Dr. twelve other persons were seriously IN
jured
What is known as the through or over
land train leaves San Francisco every morn
ing at twenty minutes past O'Clock. The
train that started consisted of locomotive,
one mail, one express and one baggage car,
two sleeping coaches, an ordinary passenger
coach and smoking car. On the tram were
some sixty passengers, two-thirds OF them
bound for the East.
The train reached Sumner Station about
IL o'clock at night, having made run OF
3l4 miles since leaving San Francisco, over
what is known as the Tulare division. AT
Sumner it is customary TO take on a second
locomotive to assist in carrying the
which commences near keene Station
and rises at the rate OF 10 feet To the mile as
far as Tehachapi summit. The road there
perces the Sierra Nevada range where 1t
breaks off and forms the Sierra de San
Rafael range of mountains, which extend 10
the seacoast toward Point Arguilia
The toisome ascent seems TO have been
safely made. for the train reached the
neighborhood of Tehachapi Junction, forty
seven miles from Summer Station, between
| II and l o'clock, for just below the Junction
| the train was stopped for the purpose OF
cutting out " or disengaging the extra loco
motive. While the change was being made
| the string of cars, in some unknown
way, received a backward impetus, and
| before anything could be done the helpless
| train went laundering down the frighttul
| GRADE the pace increasing more and more M
| ii proceeded. For over four miles tins ter
rihle race continued, the cars leaping and
bounding over the rails III their mad
headlong career, until the foremost
sleeping coach (the train now
going backward) jumped the track
| and went tumhlng over an embankment III
teen feet hi IN. The coupling between the
two slocpers held fast aid the second sleeper
followed its companion with terrible crash
carrying with it the mail, express and bag
| & l!e cars
Scarcely had the sleeping coaches and boz
cars fallen in a shattered heap together than
tex all caught fire and were soon consumed

Silent Men.

Washington never made speech.
In the zenith of his fame he attempted
it, failed and gave it up confused and
abashed. In framing the constitution
of the United States, the labor was en-
tirely performed in the committee of
the whole, of which Washington was
the chairman; he made two speeches
during the convention, however, ac-
knowledged the master spirit, and
historians affirm that, had it not have
been for his great popularity, and the
thrifty words q his first speech, pro-
nouncing it the best that could be
united upon, the constitution would
have been rejected 10y the people
Thomas Jefferson nevermadea speech.
He couldn't do it. Napoleon, whose
executive ability is almost without
parallel, said that his greatest difficulty
was in finding men of deeds rather
than words When asked how he
maintained his influence over superiors

mander-in-chief of an army in Italy.
he said by reserve. The greatness Of
man is not measured by the length of
his speeches and their number.

A Young Mans Peril.

They were in to see lawyer yester-
day--Mary Ann and her mother.
Mary Ann was little embarrassed, but
the old woman was calm. When they
spoke about breach-of-promise case
the lawyer asked:
"What evidence have you got? ~
"Mary Ann, produce the letters
commanded the mother, and the girl
'ook the cover eff willow basket and
remarked that she thought 927 letters
would do to begin on. The other 65l
would be produced as soon as the case
was fairly before the court"
"And outside of these letters 2"
queried the lawyer.
"Mary Ann, produce your diary"
said the mother. "Now turn to the
heading Of Promises and tell how
many times this marriage business was
tailed over"
"The footing is pa times" answered
the girl
"Now turn to the heading of Oar

he has applied the term to YOU"

The Dying Drummer Boy.

Mrs. Judge Fisher, of York, Pa,
who went to Getty sburg Immediately
after the news of the battle had arrived,
for the purpose of succoring the
wounded, gives an interesting account
in the Philadelphia Times of some of
the narrowing scenes she witnessed on
the battlefield. Among others she re-
lates the following pathetic incident:
One beautiful evening, after long
days hard work, one of my boys came
to me and said There is a little chap
out there who heard there was woman
from his home and he wants to see
YOU" az found him at the farthest
extremity of the hospital, with a half
dozen other hopeless cases. lie was a
lovely boy, scarcely more than child,
who had run away from his home in
Providence, r. l., to join the "drum
corps" He was a brave boy and "A
great pet among the soldiers, who
nursed him as tenderly as possible, but
could poorly supply a mothers loving
care How he longed for one more
look of her dear face and once again to
hear her sweet words of love lie was
so frail and slight it was a marvel how
he could have endured the fatigue and
privation so long. He was not dis
figured by wounds, but constant
marches, insufficient food and often
sleepless nights had exhausted his
strength and he had not the vitality to
resist the sharp attack of fever. He was
perfectly conscious, but too weak to
say much. 1 asked the poor child
what could do for him. ooh / want
my mother ~ 1 sat down on the
ground, and taking him in my arms
tried to comfort him. He turned his
face to me, saying, 81 am so tired
laid his head against me and appeared
to sleep. The last rays of the sun
touched the lovely features Of the
dying boy. The long-drawn shadows
vanished in the gathering darkness.
Silence, unbroken save by the plaintive
moan of some poor victim, succeeded
the hum of the busy day. The plying
dews shed balm upon his brow.
Fainter and fainter grew the breath
and more feeble the clasp of the little
har d, when suddenly rousing he opened
his eyes, glazed in death, and looking
long and earnestly in my face, said :
"kiss me, lady, before l die" Cling
ing still closer to the stranger who
could family represent the fond
mothers tenderness he so eagerly
csaved, he dropped his heavy lids and
sept away his brief life as peacefully as
q child goes to sleep in its mother
ncms. l gently laid the lifeless form
down on the hard earth and left him to
soldiers burial and nameless grave
Poor IellOw, what an atom he seemed
to be in all that mass of wretched
suffering, dying humanity Yet he
was ali the world to the heart of that
mother, who wept and prayed for heI
darling's safe return to the distant
home, that never again would echo his
boyish step or ringing laugh.
