A HUNGARIAN HERO.

Driven Insane by the E5arBarities of Ills
Austrian CaptOrs.
New York Graphic.
There has Just died in an insane asy-
lum at Buda Pesth a man whose story
recalls one of the most terrible epidemic
Of the struggle for Hungarian indepen-
dence IN 1913.
Ference Renyi was a schoolmaster,
and at that time about twenty seven
years Of age. He was high spirited,
lively, kind hearted, and the idol Of his
pupils. He was quite expert at playing
the fiddle, and his services were much
sought after by the young people Of his
native village to enliven their fetes. He
also could sing, and many of his songs
were of a highly patriotic character.
The young man lived with his mother
and sister, but was engaged to a charm
ing young girl, and soon expected to be
married. just then the Hungarian gov
eminent, having proclaimed its indePen-
dence, called for volunteers. Renyi Of
fered himself and was accepted.
One day after having fought like a
lion at the head Of a detachment he was
made a prisoner by the Austrians. Led
before the notorious General Haynau,
Renyi refused to disclose the position of
the main body of the Hungarian army.
Haynsu, however, was not to be foiled
In his quest for information, and to &C
cOmplish his end resorted to one OF the
most barbarOus acts that has sullied the
records of modern warfare. Finding on
inquiry that his prisoner was a native of
a neighbOriDg village and that he had
a mother and sister. he ordered the lat
ter to be arrested and brought to his
headquarters. They were then confront
ed with the unfortunate young man.
"lf you want the lives Of these women
spared" HEynau then said to him, ''you
viii give me the inf rmatiou I have ask
ed for"
Renyi made no reply. He trembled
violently, however, and his eyes filed
with tears, but he did not yield.
Don't speak, my son." cried his aged
mother; "dO your duty without refer
enee TO me; I have at most but a shOFi
time to live"
And the young girl added:
"If you betray your country you
name viii be tRrnished, and what should
I do without my honor? Don't speak
/ Ference. Be calm; I shall die bravely.'
Renyi continued silent. In a few mo
ments the two heroic women were sho
dead by order of the brute in a generaTI
uniform.
Still another test remained, and bay
nau did not hesitate to apply it. ii
had Rsnyi's fanoae brought before hin
and threatened her with a similar fate
The latter was afraid to die. On hear
ing what would happen to her if he
lover did not yield she threw herself o.
her knees and besOught him to save hel
Speak, Ference" she cried. "See,
am young, love yOu-don't let theI
kill me-. By speaking you viii saw
yourself as well as me, and when We az
/ Tree We shall go far away from here an
be happy Speak, my beloved, and say
thy wife"
And she seized Rsnyi's hands an
Wrung them with the energy Of 8 drown
; ing man grasping at g straw.
Renyi was conFulsed by his 0VerpoV
poWering emotion. Suddenly he shove
his finance from him and turned awar

As We enteron the left We see a bronze
statue Of Gen. Reynolds, who was killed
in the first days fight. The figure is
splendidly proportional, Of heroic size,
standing on a pedestal Of dark Quincy
granite. The posture is easy and very
natural With a feld-glass IN his right
hand, and his left grasPing the hilt of a
sword, his face is turned toward that
part Of the field from which the enemy
was advancing when he received the IA
tai shot. Reynolds was a gallant leader
OF a gallant corps, and the story of his
CORDS, on the first day, In
which he lost his life, is one OF the most
faclnating to me Of any incident Of this
engagement. Passing on through the
cemetery We tread softly, for We are on
consecrated ground. Four thousand
brave boys lay here side by side in solid
rows; side by side as they stood shout
der to shoulder behind the stone fence;
side by side as they ranged in solid
phalanx in the peach orchard; side by
side as they stood IN the line OF battle on
Cemetery hill; side by side as they
stood between our northern homes and
the devastating army of Gen. Lee. Their

semi-circular rows of granite in continu-
GUS lines, five rows deep, lettered on TOP
with name and regiment. Further on
are the unknown dead. Their graves
are marked by little blocks, properly
numbered. 1t is probable that a regis
/ ter is kept Of these with a description o.
/ the soldier, which refers to the numbel
Of his headstOne. We pass on and come
/ to the national monument. The super
structure is sixty feet high, and consist
of a massive pedestal of Westerly, R. l.

base, representing the genius Of victory

she holds with her night hand the victor

Washington National Republican
Passengers in an avenue car yesterday
afternoon were afforded considerable
amusement by the observation-disclosures OF
the conductor, who placed himself in q
ludicrOus position. A passenger boarded
an open car and settled in an easy posi-
ton on a rear seat, his elbow resting on
the back, with his hand raised, holding
between his forefnger and thumb cigar
stump he bad Just finished, in about the
same position a ticket would be held con
venient for collection. The conductor
passed rapidly along, and, lightly
plucked the cigar stump from the fingers
Of the passenger, landed 1t in his pocket
among the tickets. The bell-punch
sounded in registering the fare. Before
another fare could be taken a roar of
laughter caused the railroad man to look
around, and some one explained the mis-
take, not, however, until the lining of his
pocket had been burned and several
tickets sCorched- The conductor turned
all colors Of the rainbow as he took the
stump from among the fares and ex-
changed it for a nickle.

Captain William s. Johnson, United States
army retired, have been made public.
Captain Johnson was tried upon charges OF
duplicating pay accounts and t16 court
martial returned the verdict guilty.
Lieutenant General Sheridan, who reviewed
the proceedings, set aside the verdict The
lieutenant general says: The accused ad-
mitted the execution Of two sets OF vouchers
for his pay for the same month. Evidence
shows that he allowed these vouchers to pass
beyond his control, 80 that both were pre-
scented and paid. The government was
thereby exposed to fraud, for which Captain
Johnson cannot be neld answerable. The
release Of the accused from arrest has been
ordered and the court martial dissolved
This action on the part Of the lieutenant
general IN disproVing the findings OF the
court and acquittlng the accused IS said
to DO almost Wltlour precedent IN the ad-
ministI alton Of mill airy justice. The ac-
cused stands almost in the same position
he occupied before the trial, althOugH he
cannot be tried again for the same o1ense-

Gath in the Enquirer
Up to the time he died the presidency
had not become congenial TO him. Isaw
him at Long Branch for the first time
after his election, and he seemed to me
to be a frightened person with the moral
courage very weak in him But after he
was shot his physical nature naturally
asserted ITSELF with a degree OF patience
and spirit which made him for q time the
most popular living individual on the
globe. There have been but three men
IN the history Of the United States who
at a particular time had universal affec-
ton. One of these was Washington as
he retired from the presidency; another
was Garfield suffering hOm a mortal
wound. A third was Grant finishing his
memoirs and dying after he had by her
culean exhibition of personal force estab-
hshed his family in solvency. Strange
to think that this man, who could barely
earn a living during all his youthful
years, WAS able in the last few weeks Of
his life, when he was bankrupt and
ruined, to earn 100000 or more Pop
ularity, distress, the fulhllment of days,
all enter into the ingredients of personal
wealth. Thus We see the men who could
hardly get a crust Of bread pass away
and their autographs become as valuable
as building lots.
