THE DEATH OF BARRIOS.
Struck by Two Bullets as lie In Person
Led Battalion to Battle.

Theodore Pasckhe, an engineer who
volunteered to accompany Barrios on the
expedition against Salvador, writes 10 q
friend inHoboken this account Of the
Gictator's death:
con Sunday, March %, we started
for the frontier, and reached Chingo
next day IN the forenoon. The Salvador
forces had entrenched themselves on the
other side OF the river, and awaited rs.
IL the afternoon our artillery was moved
into position and opened fire. About 3
p. N. our forces began TO cross the river,
and an hour later the Salvadorenos were
put to flight. All their trenches were
taken, and our troops pursued them until
dark.
Next day headquarters was moved
into Salvador, on hacienda called Mag
dalena. The Salvadorenos had with
drawn to the town of Chalcuapa, where
they had fortified themselves. By We'd
nesday morning about 10000 men had
been pushed ahead toward that position.
and our headquarters was moved ahead

battlefield could be overseen. Oar ar
tillery opened fire to draw out the enemy
and feel their position. Their artillery
responded, and the duel was kept up,
on our side 10 cover the movements of
our troops. BY nightfaH our troops had
taken such position that they had cut
off the enemy. from all re-enforcements
and from retreat, and it seemed as if
they all must become our prisoners.
Next morning our artillery opened
tire again, and our reserves were put
into position. Between 9 and 10 o'clock
an officer came to headquarters and told
Barrios that certain battalion refused
to go into the fight under the leadership
of its commander Barrios left head
quarters to make a speech to these
troops. In the heat of speechmakmg
he asked if they would go to battle with
him. Of course the answer was one

the battle in person. and led this bat

contains about 80, 900 square miles. The
soil is productive and the climate better
than anywhere on the coast. The Gov
ernment Is republican, and owes It's
origin to the American Colonization So

negro colonists. In 1877 the declara-

constitution adopted. The President
holds Office two years. The republic
has passed through nothing but discord
since it was established It borrowed
100000 from England in 1871, and
has paid no interest since 1874, the
Government being bankrupt. In 1880
the republic annexed the kingdom Of

A SpurgeOn Story.

An English lady had occasion, some
time since, to travel without escort
from Suffolk to London, and she was
forced to take train on which there
were no carriages reserved for ladies.
''There is compartment occupied
only by the Rev. Mr.. Spurge on" the
guard said in answer to her expression
of disappointment, ''perhaps you do not
object to riding with him."
The lady acquiesced, and accordingly
was so placed.
An inquiry on the part of the reverend
gentleman in relation to the window
opened the conversation, and presently
the two travellers were discoursing
amicably upon general topics. At length
they reached Mr.. Spurgeon's native
village, where the train paused few
moments.
Il presume, madame the gentleman
observed with genuine enthusiasm
''that you have heard of Spurgeon, the
great preacher. This village has the
honor of being his birthplace
He went on from this text, drawn ont
&c somewhat, ii is true, by the lady, and
praised himself most Unsparingly, de-
claring Spurgeon to be the most eminent
divine in all England. When London
was reached, he politely assisted the
lady into a cab, and was bidding her
good bye, when she said:
/ Il thank you very much for yonr
kindness, Mr. Spurgeon.
Surprise, chagrln and anger all painted
themselves upon the face OF the other,
but he apparently struggled 10 maintain

ing himself melodramatieallv upon the

''Who was itY'
'You'n hev to 20 to the hospital to find

An examination OF the hospital records
showed that the inconsiderate corpse was
William II. owen, a bartender, residing
at No. 1858 West Lake street. Thursday
night owen fell In fit at the corner Of
Wabash avenue and Eldridge court. A
physician in the crowd that gathered
around the man pronounced it a case OF
poisoning and advised the calling OF the
police patrol. The wagon came and con-
Yeyed the unconscious bartender TO the
county hospital. Officer Tim Madigan,
Of the ArmOry, was in charge. Before
arriving at their destination Officer Madi-
gan felt his PATIENTS pulse, listened for
his heart tbrobs and decided, with great
professional dignity, that he was dead.
Having completed his diagnosis, the Off
Ger instructed his driver to pull up at the
mOrgue on Wood street instead Of the
man was carried into the morgue and
thrown down on one of the cold, wet,
dripping marble slabs provided for
cOrpses.
Luckily before reeaiuing consciousness
Mr.. owen was carried into the hospital,
examined bylDr. Bridge, and assigned to
ward 6. One of the hospital officials says
that Immediately after Owen was brought
from the mOrgue his eyes were open. but
fixed in their stare, and his pulse beats
were discernlble. Yesterday morning
bartender Owen got up feeling quite like
hipself again. He came out of the ward
and after looking around the offices Of the
institution in a dazed, blank sort OF way
for little time, set out to take a walk
and has not been seen by the hospital Off
Gals since. They carefully concealed
from him the fact that he had been thrown
into the dead-house.
