vens, fired from n hastily constructed
battery on Morris Island at the Star
Of the West, when that vessel
came to the relief of the Fort Sumter
garrison. George F.. Haynsworth fired
the first shot, and thus had the distinc-
tion of opening the war of secession. His
disposition was so modest and retiring
that when The Century Magazine at
tempted to procure his photograph some
years since he positively refused to allow
its publication. He next volunteered in
the Manning Guards, of which his brother
was commander, and then served success
sively at Fort Sumter and Battery
Wagner, where he displayed the most
reckless daring. He was engaged in
the battle of Bentonville, N. c.,
and in his native county, Sumter,
had the reputation Of having fired there
the last shot in tho war. For g~allantry
Mt Fort Sumter he was commissioned q
lieutenant in 1862. During his whole
term of military service he never received
n scratch or wound. After the war Mr..
Haynsworth taught school for several
years, studied law and was admitted to
the bar. Two years ago he was appointed
trial justice of the town of Sumter, the
duties of which Office he discharged with
f%aithfulness, intelligence and to the entire
u Aho SpAhAAAbiAAN1s liz ~ IL
general favorite of the people of Sumter,
and his death is universally deplored. He
leaves two motherless little boys.
Daniel Ezra Keels, one of the wounded
men, was born in Sumter county, S. c.,
in September, 1886. He was n poor boy
and supported himself by farming, Mt the
same time getting the rudiments of an
English education at n cross roads country
school. He entered the war at the
first call to arms, although he always
claimed to be a Union man, and was madc
first lieutenant in one of the companies of
kcrshaw's regiment. He served at Nor
rs Island, Charleston harbor, and was IN
eye witness of the raising of the first Con-
federate flag on Fort Sumter. He was
discharged from military duty after two
years service IN account of Ill health.
After the war he resumed planting and
engaged in making turpentine. He never
mixed in politics until the Hampton cam
paign of 1876. In 1882 he was elected to
the legislature, where he served two
terms. In 1886 he was IN unsuccessful
candidate for state senator from Sumter
county. Mr.. Keels is n prosperous farmer,
owning two plantations near Lynchburg,
and is wellthought of in his community.

The blasts of the trumpet on railways
rs a means of giving signals to engine
drivers, pointsmen and others engaged in
shuntfng operations, which are now ex-
tensively used il large shunting yards of
the Caledonian railway in and around
Glasgow, are, it is stated, about TO be in
troduccd on some of sthe great railway
systems having termini in London. hc-
cording to the code of trumpet signals
for %shunting in operation at st. Rollox
goods yards, Glasgow, the various signals
are represented by long blasts, short
blasts and ''crows' of the trumpet, the
repetition of each varying the directions;
for instance, a long blast of the trumpet
means ''move forward" and two long
blasts are a signal to move back" As
a rule, the goods yards of the principal
railways, if not quite close to the termini,
are situated usually in thickly popula-
ted metropolitan districts, and it is be-
heved that if trumpet signaling should be
introduced to them, discordant sounds
of continuous and diversified blasts of
the trumpet will create a nuisance-es-
pecially at night, when people are in
bed, night being invariably utilized for
shuntng-which Londoners will scarcely
put up with. Under this novel
SNSh ohuioSi, anu III 5oLne cases
the signal men, are furnished with a
horn trumpet eleven inches in length,
having a reed inside the mouthpiece, the
whole being of very light construction.
The trumpet is carried by the shunter
slung owe his left shoulder with a piece
of cord, and hangs across the right hip.
1t is not at present stated whether or not
the use of the trumpet as a signal will
enablet the railway authorities to dispense
with the sounding of the engine whistles,
which have already been the subject of
so much objection .-London Daily News.

No MEASURE that has yet been brought
before the house has aroused the same
degree of ferVid cloquence as the council
bill to remove bountics from the scalps,
claws and other appurtenauccs belonging
or in anywisG appcrtaining to will ami
mails. This is a subject on which every
legislator can naturally speak by the card.
Who in his daily walk has not come across
the impish gopher or been amused by the
prairie dog querulous bark which seems
to be jerkcd out of his carcass by the au-
tomato movement Of lis tail? Who in
the last watch of the night herd, Just as
the fog begins to lift like the curtain of a
vast theatrical scene, has not observed the
1.-THE form aud glittoring teeth of the
sm2aking coyote as he warily moved out of
harms way?
Al of these sights must have furnished
inspiration and it is no wonder, therefore,
that genuine cloducncc inundated the
housa and stopped over into the Hobbies.
Brt the result OF it all, we believe, shows
practical wisdom, for in the committee of
the whole the council bill to abolish all
b%nuntlcs was recommended for passage.

T~hirty-lve thousand dollars, of which
the state of New York contributed SIO,-
OC0, has been expended upon the con-
struction of the Tower of Victory, which
has just been turned over to the trustees
of Washington's Headquarters ut New
burg, N. Y. The monument stands upon
the site of the immortal Georges head
quarters in that city, near the historic
stone building in front of which the Con-
tinental army was disbanded in 1888. It
is n rectangular structure, built of native
stone, 81 by 32 feet on the ground and SO
feet high. Its position commands q fine
view of the Hudson river, and the accom-
panying cut gives an excellent idea of its
appearance.
-Four large archways open into the
atrium on each side, and in the center
thereof, upon n polished rcd granite pedes-
tai, stands n lifeliko bronze statue of
Washington, cast after n design by Will
liam Rudolph O'Donovan, of New York.
The head is modelled from Houdon's life

man engaged by Benjamin Franklin to
make the statue of Washington that stands
in the Virginia state capitol at Rich
mond. The figure represents the general

weighs about half n ton, and cost $40. 600
Those who delight in comparisons will
easily calculate the cost of this particular
Washington to be about $40 a pound.
Two circular staircases lead from the
ground floor of the tower to the belvedere,
an open outlook wherein 300 persons NAV
be comfortably accommodated. The roof
Is supported by thirteen columns, each of
which, according to the original design,
was to be adorned with n shield represent
ing one of the thirteen original states of
the Union. But funds ran short and the
columns are undecorated.
Recesses are provided in the interior
for any medallions or bas reliefs that
may be provided in the future, and out
side there are four inches for the re-
ception of bronze statues of Washing
toms four favorite generals, or for figures
of an ~alegorical nature. In the east wall
n bronze tablet with an inscription com
memorating the bravery of the soldiers of
tho revolution is set.
The movement for the erection OF this.
however, was begun some years ago. and
its site was selected on Thursday, Oct. 10,
1888, on the occasion of the holding of the
centennial celebration at Newburg of tho
disbanding of the Continental army. The

Bishopville, by John Robert Keels, and
who is still suffering from the effects of
the wound, was born at Valley, Va, and
IS 32 years old. In 1881 he removed to

VOTE LIKELY TO CARRY THE ELECTION.
The Democratic managers I'm Hudson County, ~ J..
which comprises the With Congress District have
become alarmed over the Frightening prospects Of the
election Of exMayor Gilbert Collins to represent the
district. The district is usually Democratic by
siderable majority and It was thought at first that
Congressman McAdoO had a walkover, but things
are Changed and Mr. McAdoo will be obliged TO hus-
tie TO get a bare majority. McAdoo's Hop the
tariff question will cost him thousands of votes.
When the Mills bin was Introduced into Congress he
was strong protecfonst, following the lead OF Con
gresham Randall, and opposed to any change. The
influence OF the Administration was brought to bear
and McAdpo, unable TO resist the pressure, only
voted for the Mills BILL but advocated II. As a con-
sequence, he has lost the support of all the Demo-
Gratis in the district who are opposed to free trade
and they not few.
IL Is generally understood that Nc Adoo threat

ported tho Mills bill, and he sacrificed his principles
to his ambition. There another strong element OF
opposition 10 McAdOo In his Cwn party which comes
from disappointed Office seekers and they numer-
