4 SHAMELESS, RAscALLY CREW.

A Young Recruits Experience with a
Gang of Bounty-J jumpers.
The war fever seized mo in 1863 All the
suramer and fall had fretted and burned
to be off. That winter, and before | was 10
years old, ! ran away from my fathers
high lying Hudson river valley farm. l
went to Albany and enlisted in the Eleventh
New York battery, then at the front In
Virginia, and was promptly sent out to the
penltentlary building. There, to my utter
establishment, | found 500 or 600 ruffians,
closely guarded by heavy line of sentiuels,
who paced to and fro, day and night, rifle
In hand, to keep them from running away.
When | entered the barracks these recruits
gathered around Inc and asked. How much
bounty did you get" How many times
have you jumped the bounty!' | an
swered that had not bargaInel for bounty,
that bad never jumped u bounty, and
that | had enlisted TO go to the front and
fight
| was instantly asSaiied with abuse IRE
clalmable blackguards, thieves, and rullians
gathered in a boSterous circle around NE
and called he foul names | was robbed
while III these barracks Of all poSsessed-a
pipe, a piece of tobacco, and a knife |
remained in this nasty prison for month.
! became thoroughly acquainted with my
comrades. A recruits social standing IN
the barracks was determined by the acts of
villainy he had performed, supplemented by
the number of times he had Jumped the
bounty. The social standing OF a hard
faced, crafty pickpocket, who bad jumped
the bountysin, say, half a dozen cities, was
assured He shamelessly boosted OF his
rascally agility. Light active bounty
jumpers looked up to him as to leader
He commanded their profound respect
When he talked men gathered around him
IN crowds and listened attentively to words
OF wisdom concerning bounty jumping that
dropped from his touacco-stalnei lips. His
right to occupy the most desirable bunk or
to stand at the head of the column when we
prepared TO march to the kitchen for our
TatIons wa, undisputed.
IT there was man in all that shameless
crew who had enlisted from patriotic mo-
tlves | did not see him. There was not a
man of them who was not eager to run
away. Not a man who did not quake when
he thought OF the front Almost to a man
they were bulies and towards, and almost
To IL man they belonged TO the criminal
classes Frank Wilkeson in Chicago Times.

pitai-The Killed and Wounded.
BELFAST, Aug. 10 Another riot broke
out here Sunday night. The stone throwing
was of the most murderous description, the
missiles falling in an unbroken shower upon
the heads of the police. No time was lost
in reading the riot act at the conclusion
of which formality the soldiers charged the
crowd with fixed bay onsts, clearing the
streets in short order. 1t is reported that
there is scarcely a house on the Shonkhill
road that does not contain from one to half
turbance had in measure subsidized the
mob raised great cry, charging the po-
lice with drunkenness and excess of duty.
At the risk of his life Inspector General
Reed paraded the streets TO personally in
vestigate this charge, and satisfied himself
of the absolute sobriety of his men.
The rioting was renewed Monday morn
ing between the mob and the police, as
sisted by the military. The rioters were
shown no mercy. The police fired into their
ranks and remorselessly shot them down a.
though they were wild beasts So far thirty
persons have been brought to the hospitals
for treatment for gunshot wounds. The
police reports show that eleven persons have
been killed and fully 100 seriously wounded
since Saturday evening A majority of tho
wounded are suffering from gunsbot
wounds A soldier fired at boy at close
ange and shattered the latter's arm The
older was at once taken into custody.
Twelve hundred soldiers to reinforce those
already here arrived Monday.

AT REST IN THE TOMB.
The Remains of Mr.. Tilden Consigned
to Earth-At Greystone.

" 100 ~ ~ WY
New YORK, Aug 1G-Immediatsly after
the close of the services over the remains Of
Mr. Tiiden the body was taken to New Leb-
anon by train 1t was accompanied by
MIR. Tilden's relatives and many OF the dis
tinsuished people at Greystone. The prest-
dent did not go to New Lebanon, but re-
turned at once TO Washington. On the ar
rival of the funeral train at New Lebanon
the body was taken to the Congregational
church of the village, where at least 900
people were allowed to look for the last time
at Mr. Tilden's face. The body was then
removed TO the cemetery and consigned to
the earth without formal services save a
brief prayer offered by the Rev. Mr.. Bur-
rill, pastor of the village church
The great iron gates of Greystone stood
open all day Sunday, and throngs Of people
drove and walked through the grounds,
gazing curiousIy at the mansion in which
Samuel j. Tilden had died and from which,
on the day before, his body had been taken
to liz among his native hills The dead
man had been accustomed to leave the gates
open to the public, and after his death the
family continued the custom
When the family reached Greyston late
on Saturday night they found that the
black drapery in the halls and drawing
rooms had been taken down, the proper
hangings restored to their places, and
everything restored to the condition in
which it had been before Mr.. Tildens
death
MIR. Andrew Ii. Green said TO reporter
that nothing definite had been settled about
the reading of MIR. Tilden's will, although
it might be read Monday evening in case
Mrs Henry Tilden and her sons should ar
rive from New Lebanon in time.
