GREENvILLE, Ten, Sept. l5.-The

for the murder OF McAdams at Caddo
Mills, and of Grade Smith as accom-
plice, was held here to-day. Nothing
definite could be proved against Smith

till week from Wednesday.
During the storm on Thursday, while
a Mr.. Wells and preacher named
Moore, with others, were stacking hay
on Wire Grass prairie, lightning
struck the stack, killing Mr.. Wells,

cipn capitalists who desire the control OF mar

produced where labor is cheap and money
abundant: and we regard as unworthy o1

We ask, with emphasis, why the labor required
to produce wool is less worthy OF protection
than the labor of the spindle and loom where
the fabrics of wool are produced.

A Reminiscence of the War.

A romantic story of the war is told
n connection with the 126th PennSyl-
vania Regiment. A feminine looking
member of the regiment who gave the
name of Frank Mayne associated with
none of the members of his company
except man named Fitzpatrick.
One day while near Alexandria, Va, :,
Fitzpatrick was taken suddenly i'll and
removed to the hospital, where he
died, it was said, in few days, of
smallpox. Mayne displayed consid-
cradle grief over the death of his COM
panion. He procured a pass to Alex
andria soon after on plea of business,
but never returned. 1t was thought
that he had deserted. Soon after a
soldier was wounded in Western Ten
nessee, and upon being taken to the
hospital it was discovered that the
soldier was a female and none other
than Frank Mayne. A few weeks ago
member of the l26th Regiment was
standing on the railway station at AL
toona, when he was approached by a
man who proved himself to be Fitz-
patrick, who was supposed to have
died of smallpox. He explained how
he and Mayne wishing to transfer the
scenes of their military exploits from
the East to the West he had feigncd
sickness and escaped from the hospital
and was joined by Mayne. They both
Joined an Ohio regiment, after which
they were wounded while in battle
and Mayne discovered to be female.
Mayne is his wife, and they are now
living happily in lllinois.-Bostom Jour-
