Some of the extracts are as follows:
As soon as the enemy saw us (speaking of
his first battle in the civil war; they decamped
as fast as their horses would carry them.
kept my men in the ranks and forbade their
entering any of the deserted houses or bring
ing anything from them. We halted at night on
the road and proceeded the next morning at
an early hour. Harris had been encamped
in the creek bottom for the sake of being
near the water.
The hills on either side of the creek ex.
tended to considerable height, possibly
more than 100 feet, as we approached the
brow of the hill from which it was expected
we could see Harris camp and possibly find
his men ready formed to meet us, | would
have given anything then to have been back
in Illinois. but had not the courage and
bolt, and, considering what to do, kept
right on.
When we reached point from which be.
low was in full view, l halted. The place
where Harris had been encamped a few days
before was still there but he had retreated.
1t occurred to me that Harris had been az
much afraid of me as had been of him.
This was view of the question had never
taken before, but it was one never forgot
afterwards. From that time until the close
of the war I was never afraid to confro ut the

ANOTHER FAILURE.
Col. ThOs. r. Cheney of Ashland, N.
H., Goes Under.

CONCORD, N. H.. June s.
Reports of the failure of Col. ThOs p.
Cheney of Ashland, U. S. pension agent in
this city, has been in circulation here all day
but careful investigation fails to elicit in
formation of a very definite character, al.
though 1t is stated that his property has been
attached.
Cheney's relations with cx-Gov. Hale have
been of very intimate character, and as
result he endorsed the latter's paper quite
extensively.
The exact sum of Mr.. Cheney's loss is not
known, but it is said he endorsed a paper tc
the amount of S25 600 for Hale. Col. Che
ney's friends fear he has been financially
ruined by signing Gov. Hale's note. In fact
he told an acquaintance few DAYS ago thai
the failure left him $1,000 worse of than
nothing.
Col. Cheney was tor many years division
superintendent of the New England railway
mail service.
1t is reported tonight that U. S. Senator
Blair gave Gov. Hale a paper to the amour,
of S2700, which the latter endorsed and real
lied upon.

CHICAGO. June &,

CHICAGO, June 8.
Renewed interest in the election fraud
cases has been developed today by the con-
fession of Charles E. Gilmore, who was ar
rested for perjury on the trial of Mackin and
Gallagher, in the U. S. district court Gil
more's perjury consisted of an attempt to
show that the tickets found in the 18th ward
ballot box had been printed before the cleo
tion, while the facts were clear that they
were printed after the election and substituted
for the ballots regularly cast.
Gilmore now makes an affidavit that the
scheme of the perjury was prepared by
Mackin. He also confessed today that he
(Gilmore) participated in the su uostituton of
the ballots, and declares that the entire affair
was arranged by Mackin, Gallagher and a
New York ''fine WORKER" whom he has de-
scribed to the authorities.
Gilmore carried bogus tickets to the county
clerks office early Monday morning, Nov
24th, and there gave an envelope to Thomas
Dwyer, cashier of the county clerks Office, a
person who has never hitherto been mention
ed in connection with the crime.

Plymouth Fever Raging.
WuErspo~r Pa

WILkEsBONE, Pa, june 8.
Almost month ago Plymouth fever made
its appearance in Sugar Notch, small min
ing town between here and Nanticoke The
disease has been steadily increasing until
now. Twenty cases have been reported, but
they are of milder form than those at Ply
mouth. Five new cases are reported at Sugar
Notch this afternoon, which has caused con-
siderable excitement among the residents of
the town and the greatest precaution is being
taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
A strange feature of the outbreak is that it is
confined to the most cleanly portions of the
city. Doctors are of the opinion that the
epedemic must have had its origin in the use
Of spring water, as all who are ill with the
disease have been using water from springs.

KEEsE, N. H.. June 8.
Ex Gov. Hale is suffering from nervous
prostration, caused BY the excitement of the
past few days, but saws he is ambitious to
pay his debts, dollar for dollar.
Under an arrangement with interested par
ties, the South Keene Chair Co. will continue
to operate its works temporarily.
Without doubt, at meeting of the cred
itors next Thursday, an agreement will be
effected to continue the operation of the
works until the stock on hand is exhausted,
and thereby avoid throwing 80 hands out of
employment. Several of the largest credit
ors have suggested that an assignment be
made by all the creditors of the assets into
the hands of one or more trustees, and time
given the ex-governor TO dispose of the same
without sacrifice, believing that sufficient
sum would be realized to pay his indie bted.
