CHAPTER XII.
A BURNING CAR.

But for the wetness of the day all his
efforts even yet would have been foiled.
We now did what had been in the mind
OF Andrews, doubtless for some time past
what he might have tried even at the
Oostenaula bridge, had not the interval
between that and Calhoun been 90 fear
fully short. He ordered US to IRE our
last car while We were running. It was
said easily, but was much harder to do.
Everything about the car was Al wet as
1t we'll could be-. The rain fell In tor
rents, and the wood was drenched in the
tender. II was by no small effort and
skillful firing that the engine fire could
be kept at the heat required for fast run
ming. But desperate fingers tore every
thing combustibls loose from the car, and
smashed it into hndling. Some blazing
fagots were stolen from the engine and
the fire made to burn. The rapid motion
with driving rain was an obstacle ut first,
but a. we fed up the blass and sheltered
it - well as possible, it grew rapidly,
till soon but one could stay on the
car and watch IL, and all the others
crowded on the tender and locomotive.
The steam was now gradually shut of
that we might come slowly upon the
bridge and be able to leave the burning
car just at the right place. We came to
full stop at this first Chickamauga
bridge, large one, and well covered. In
side it was ut least drier than on the out
side, and We doubted not that with time
it would burn well. The only question
was: ''Wiu that time be gtven?" We
added almost the last of our oil and nearly
the last stick Of wood-knowing that q
wood station was not far ahead, and If
this bridge could bs made to burn well,
we could have all the time we wanted to
get wood and everything else. In fact, we
put life itself on this last throw, and left
ourselves, in case of failure, hopelessly
bankrupt. For considerable time, a. il
seemed to as, though it must have been
measured by seconds rather than minutes,
we remained on the other side Of the fire
The Wahpeton times., 1888-03-08
CHAPTER XIII.
THE LAST HOPE.

We crouched down a. well q we could
In the tender while passing RinRgold,
that the enemy might not sec our mum.
Der, and when beyond the town we arose
and looked about us. The country was
mostly wooded and rough, being much
cut up by the branches Of the swollen
Chfckamauga creek We had no fuel.
though we might have taken on q few
water soaked fence rails and broken them
to burn; but what would have been the
use! Every combustibls scrap was care
fully gathered up and thrown into tho on
gine. Worst symptom of all, large pair
of saddle bags, which we had never seen
Andrews without from the time of the
midnight conference, together with his
cap and some other pieces of clothing that
he did not need for immediate use, were
flung remorselessly into the furnace.
Various papers went along. Thsss we're
probably documents that he feared would
compromise himself or others In case of
capture. Such preparations were indeed
ominous. But his next command-ths
last he ever gave tous a. party-was
more dreadful still, and for the first time
that day there shot pang Of mortal ter
ror to my heart Not the crash Of the
engine down an smbankment, nsv tho
coming OF anothsr train Of the enemy
from the north, shutting Us between two
1res, would have caused such sense Of
despair and hopels@ nniss-y to steal over
me. rms was the order which, - init
mated before, our party, had they been
properly organised, would not have
oDeyed.
for our situation was still far from des-
perate. Aside from the capture Of the
pursuing train, which would now have
been very dimcult from the fact that we
mad nsither fuel for rapid running, nor
the obstructions on board that were nes-
essary 70 place us Tar enough ahead for
An amousseds, there was smother plan y
which our leadee was virtually pledged,
which presented every prospect Of saving
our own hves, thsugh II was now too late

OUR Correspondent Corrected.
To the Editor of The Times.

To the Editor of The Times.
We should like to make a few re.
marks in relation..to the correspon-
dence of Mr.. "Unohoo" IN No. AZ of
The TIMES, and ask you to thus
correct your correspondent accord
ing to the truth. which we know to
he the truth which is as follows:
Sometime before Christmas one of
our friends children took sick and
died within few days, the attend
ing doctor pronouncing the sick
ness a contagious one, the neighbors
dared. .not.go and visit them, because
they had small .children of their
own. Several weeks later the whole
family was takens. down by the same
sickness. Excepting the parents) of
which we, the ,neighbors were ignor-
ant until our friend came to H.
Bohn, telling him. m.about his ill luck
and asking MIR. Bohn togo to Wah-
peton and consult doctor, the
Hankinson doctor not doing as our
friend thought.to be right; and fur
ther said he had to have some one
to help him out;in nursing the sick
and to do the chores, for he was not
able to do it alone any longer. At
this Herman and Albert Bohn went
to Wahpeton and meeting several
of the county commissioners on the
street. stated things as they were.
The mmissioners told them that
if no other doctor would 60 out, the
county doctor, under present Cir
cumstances, would have to go.
They then went 20 DR.. swaine, who
refused to go. Then they went to
the county doctor. who went with
them and after examining the sick
stated it to be the black diphtheria.
The neighbors had sad experience
with the diphtheriass4 years ago, and
nobody cared to expose themselves
to the epidemic. 1. Westfahl who
is childless, went to see the family
and found that our friend was not
able to take care ;.of the children
(eight of them being sick at that
time.) Mr.. WestfAhl knowing that
none of the neighbors went to see
to them, went to Wahpeton and
stated the matter to the county
commissioners. The commissioner
of the district with Mr.. Holzhauer
then went to look after things and
found one child dead and the others
in a very bad condition further
that the family was in want of most
everything. Our friend then made
the suggestion that he would very
much like t. be helped along but,
would pay it all back as soon as he
could, which he is willing to doeyet.
It is true we did send men there to
clean the stable and saw wood, but
what Mr.. "Unohoo' says about the
manure laying in the stable three
months and not being wood enough
to cook meal with that is utterly
false, a base lie, and the simpleton
that said it is a liar to say the least.
We here state that our friend is a
very thrifty and industrious farmer
and is not afraid to work for his
living, and does not spend $50
year in sugar like Mr.. "Unohoo"
is said to do, and he never neglected
his children either in any way. Mr..
..Unohoo," or nobody as he might
be called, seems to have nothing to
do but inquire about the poor. If
we ever have a poor house, weknow
where to get the inspector. Moth
ing big about Mr.. "Unohoo' but

The case of Mrs. Edward Meyers, of Ron6

of woman's power of endurance This ladI
had been treated for months in the usual
way for Erysipelas of the hand, without
benefit. Not until her hand had become a
mass of putrid flesh did heturn to Dr. David
Kennedy, proprietor of the "FGvorite Rem
edy," which is made at Rondout, N Y.
He informed her that it was impossible to
save the hand-it must be amputated. She
received the terrible intelligence quietly,
declined to take ether, sitipulating merely
to hold her husband S hand during the oper-
alton, and underwent the painful process
without moving muscle or uttering groan.
DR.. Kennedy then gave " Favorite Remedy -
freely to cleanse the blood and p; vent a re-
turn of the disease, and Mrs. Meyers now
lives and rejoices in her great deliverance.

Startling Discovery.

The discovery by the inhabitants OF
Il locality hitherto unvisited by the
pestilent scouge OF fever and ague,
that it exists in their very midst, is
decidedly startling. Such discoveries
are made at every season, in every
part of the Union. Subsequently,
when it is ascertained, as it invariably
is at such times, through the valuable
experience of some one who has been
benefited and cured, that Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters is thoroughly effica-
cious eradicator of the malarial poison,
q feeling Of more security and tran
guilty reigns throughout the whole
neighborhood. Besides the febrile
forms of malarial disease, dumb ague
and ague cake are removed by the pc
tent action of the Bitters, to which
science also gives its sanction as =

stipation, liver complaint, debility
