STORY OF A FORMER SLAVE.
The Massacre of Major Dade's Command by
Seminole Indians.
to the Globe Democrat.

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat
BRAcKETTvILLE, Tex, March 7.--At the
indian camp near Fort Clark there resides an old
negro who was for many years slave among the
Seminole Indians, who is probably the Only living
man who was with the savages at the time they at
tackled and massacfed Major Francis L. Dade s com.
mand in the Florida war ON the 2Sth of December
1885. This old man is Dembo Facto, now some 70
years of age. 1t will be remembered that Dade's
command of United States soldiers was marching
quietly along the road when IL was suddenly as
sailed and the whole number consisting of eight
officers and ninety-nine men, killed or wounded
In fact, but three men escaped, all of whom were
badly shot
II know the time very well" says Dombo, "for
was one OF Mlcanopys orderlics on that day. and
the great chief Micanopy commanded all the In
dans in Florida. The soldiers had started out # +
the days march, and Major Dade had lust mounted
his horse and was eating piece of cracker, when
Mlcanopy called out TO him from his Ii ling place
on the side of the road. At the sound of his voice
Dade threw up his head and Micanopy fired the
ball striking him In the throat and 10 ng threw,
killing him at once The soldiers fixed up n kind
ola pen in which they all went and were killed
one after another Micanopy had four ordellies,
and was one of them, being at thGt time stout
and healthy young man."
When the seminoles departed from Florida
and went first 10 the Indian territory and then TO
plac called Laguna de Jaco, in Mexico, Dembo ac-
Soihp"hleu thehi diWhyb uOlHB Weii according TO
the knowledge within him, and proving true to his
friends. The old mans face always brightens up
when speaking of Micanopy, who was the ablest
leader the Indians ever had in Florida
"Oh he was n great chief said the old man.
MY, my, he was great chief, and HIS orderly.
You know, the white generals had orderlles and SO
did Micanopy, for he was famous In his day, and
ruled over the people like great general"
The old man Is able to work Il little, but Is very
poor indeed. He chops wood and docs what he can,
seeming TO enjoy life and is specially ami be after
he has visited the post traders store He has some
friends among the people at the post, who help him
occasionally, though it is wonder how he ekes out
existence.

l. 1t IS rather waste of manure of any
KIND to put it on wet, undraned land, unless it
be set in herds grass. In general terms it may
be said that half a ton of acid phosphate
added to the manure you have would improve
it decidedly.

and plaster, 100 pounds each, and sulphate pot
ash "a mixture of sulphate of potash and sui

1HE MANHATTAN CLUB WILL MOVE.
HOPING TO GET THE STEWART MANSION.

MOST OF THE HEIRS HAVE CONSENTED TO THE
sALE-A PRICE SUGGESTED.
The Manhattan Club passed its ultimatum last
evening upon the question Of moving uptown
from its present quarters, at Fifteenth-st. and
Fifth-ave. The attendance unusually large,
due to the important issue raised and the fact
that each member desired to prove to his fellows
that no wandering blizzard from Dakota could
knock him OUT Some weeks ago the club
decided by vote OF seventy to nineteen to move
uptown The nineteen came from the c0nserva-
tive element represented by the oldest members
The youthful contingent Of the club, represented
by Frederic r. Coudert, has made such an i'm
preston on the old fellows, however, that last
night every ono Of them voted that the Manhat-
tan Club should move upward.
The committee appointed to look into new sites
-Manton Marble, Frederic r. Coudert, Leicester
Home, j. Sergeant Cram and John S. G: Hone
made unanimous report OF progress. They re-
ported in favor of securing the Stewart mansion
and indicated that the negotiations now pending
relative to securing the house would meet with
success It is understood that the committee
favor offering 100000 for the house, and that
probably that sum would be accepted by the
executors. The consents to the sale have been
secured from most Of the heirs, and the Manhat-
tan Club man already sees himself safely en-
sconced amid the glories OF the home Of A. T.
