DUNGEON.
There was IA strong brotherly feeling
among the East Tennesseeans, and not
less in our party. So the division of the
food-a matter of great importance-was
scrupulously fair, the weak getting as
much as the strong Aleck was given as
much as any of the rest. There was but
q tiny fragment OF corn bread and still
smaller slice Of unsavory meat for each,
not one-fourth as much as could have
eaten with the hearty appetite stu re-
tanned. felt hungrier after devour-
ing it than before. 1t was now nearly
8 O'Clock, and we were told by the old
citizens Of the jail that meals were only
served twice q day, and that we would get
no more till the middle OF the afternoon.
They also encouraged US by saying that
after we had been in there for q month or
two, wewould not feel so hungry! TWAS
not hard to believe this; in fact, we
thought that less time than that would
cure our hunger forever!
There was now feeble glimmer az
light in our den, by means OF which we
could form better idea Of its character
than on the preceding evening. But there
was nothing reassuring in the survey.
Our eyes had become used to the feeble
twilight, which was all that ever visited
rs here, aud we could look on each other's
paIlid faces. The Union men had not
been able to change their garments for
months; no water was ever given to them
or TO rs for washing; and their faces wore
q look OF hopeless misery, In the majority
OF cases, which was terribly pathetic.
Under no circumstances did our spirits
sink 50 low, or did we suffer so much from
mere imprisonment, as did these men.
The very danger we were In, the assurance
that our fate, one way or the other, would
probably be determined in a short time

bold strike for freedom If the faintest

sACKING TIE COAL CARs.


READING, Pa, Jan. 23.-The present
Schuylkill miners, strike is peculiarly
disastrous to the new hands who were
employed on the railroad after the
railroaders who struck and refused to
come back had been permanently dis
charged. These new hands were most
~ given jobs in the coal traffic, and
now nearly every one of them has
been laid off because there is nothing
for them to do. OF the 2.000 men en-
ployed in hauling coal fully 1 500 were
new hands, only about 500 old employees
coming back, and all are now out of
work. President Corbin's letter has
not changed the situation in this sec
ton. There is no coal coming from
the Schuylkill region and the officials
in this city do not expect any for the
present. They are now concentrat-
ing their efforts to bringing in all the
Wyoming coal they can. They think
that the business men of Schuylkill
county have the power in their own
hands to put a stop to the strike soon
by refusing to sell to miners on credit.
New York and Philadelphia merch-
ants who ship goods to business men
in coal region towns have notified
their customers in Schuylkiil county
that they will expect cash payments
from them for the present.

ThaLanf WIeneaA.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Jan. 23.-David
Whitmer, the last one of the three
witnesses to the truth of the Book of
Mormon, is now in a dying condition
at his home in Richmond, Mo. Last
evening he called his family and friends
to his bedside and bore his testimony
to the truth of the Book Of Mormon
and the Bible. He is past SO years OF
age. Mr.. Whitmer is an old citizen OF
this place, is known by every one here
as man of the highest honor, having
and never has been, a believer In
polygamy. He left the Mormon church
In 1888 on account Of their departing
from the faith. His mind is clear, bui
he is sinking rapidly, and death is ex
pected st adv moment.

But Wollam was not drowned. He
spent the day in much anxiety and sus-
pense, and when night came he cautiously
left his hiding place and worked his way
along the river on the very front Of Chatta-
nooga, till he came across a canoe which
he borrowed for the occasion-without
seeing the owner-and rowed down stream
all night. This was a swift mode of pro-
gressiOn. AS soon as he saw q sign of
dawn he sought retired place, sunk the
canoe, and hid in the woods till night al
lowed him to proceed. This he did daily
for week. Twice he was saved If he
had but known it. Gen. Mitchell had
constructed an eXtemporized gunboat
with which 20 patrol the river, and twice
Wollam passed within hail Of it. But he
had heard nothing of any such Union
craft being on the river, and imagined it
to be some Confederate boat, perhaps
searching for him. In the dark 1t was
not easy to see any indications of its char
acter. So the poor boy crept cautiously
by in the shadow of the shore without be-
ing discovered.
But at last he made the mistake that
Wood and Wilson had made long before
He imagined that he was safe, and went
boldly forward in the daytime. One more
nights journey by boat, or half shat time
put in on foot directly northward, would
have carried him safely beyond the border.
but as ne was gong FORWARD, cOn8raCu-
lating himself on having succeeded so
well, band of Confederate cavalry, who
were making a raid into Mitchel's terri
tory, saw him, and procuring boat with
several pair OF oars, came out to meet
him. Wollam saw his danger, and there
was a hot chase, but the advantage was
all on their side. He was retaken, and as
usual tried to deceive them as to his char
acter; but Lieut.. Edwards, who had
been with the party who captured him the
first time, identified him, and he was re-
united with his comrades in Atlanta.
When Andrews was brought back to
Chattanooga scene of much apparent
barbarity followed. His escape had ex-
cited great rage and produced most ter
rible consequences at Knoxville, which
will be narrated hereafter. But they
were now determined to give him no
further opportunity Of snatching their
cherished vengeance from their hands.
He was put down in the hole with the
other prisoners, and all access to the yard
was denied. OF course no other visitors
could see them. The guard was stimu-
lated to renewed diligence. But as chains
and handouts had proved Intellectual,
something more secure was devised.
From the shop of William Lewis, a col
ored blacksmith, a man was brought over
and taken down into the dungeon, who
riyeted pair of heavy iron letters around
his ankles. Dorsey and Wilson, who

A strong chain, only eighteen inches long,

half step could be taken at once. The

latter were also replaced. When all these
