Colonel William F. Fox, of Albany, N. T.,
author of that laborious, valuable and in
teresting work entitled "Regimental Losses
in the Civil War;" has written to General
Conner the following letter:
General Selten Conner, Portland, Ne.
My Dear Sir-The complimentary number Of

speech was received, and read with interest. Ac
cept my thanks for the copy and for your kindly
mention of my recent work. -.
The Gettysburg meeting OF the Maine veterans
must have been very interesting one, for the
regiments from your State made splendid record
on that field; in fact. throughout the war, and on
every important field Maine was always well 10
notice that Colonel Edwards is quoted as saw
ing: 1.-THE claim OF the historian that onlu those
that met with the heaviest losses were fghting
regiments does an injustice to many of the best
regiments in the service"
Now, do not know OF any historian who has
made any such claim. Colonel Edwards should
nave omltled that word only" In my own work
1 TOOK pains to preface the chapter on "Fighting
Regiments" with this statement: 1T is not
Claimed mat these are the fighting regiments of
the Army; but. that they are regiments which
evlaently did considerable fighting. There were,
undoubtedly, others which cid EQUALLY good or
perhaps, better fghting." II Col. Edwards had In
mlnd any words OF mine, regret exceedingly that
should nave been so misunderstood. My own
regiment does not appear In the chapter with the
three hundred which sustained the heaviestlosses;
yet there was no better fighting regiment in the
war. Yours very truly,
WILLIAM y. Fox.

The trial of the alleged murderers of Dr.
Cronin has not yet begun, but already the
developments have been such as to render It
one OF the most remarkable cases on record.
Whether the men on trial are guilty or not is
OF course for the jury to decide, but certainly
the efforts made to get somelmen on the jury
pledged to vote for acquittal In advance, and
the late conspiracy to spirit away the de-
PENDANTS indicate that there are men in Chi
cago who are not ready to entrust the fate of
the defendants to jury of impartial and up
right men. Who these men are is not re-
vealed. but the claim of the alleged culprits
upon them must be strong indeed to induce
them 10 run the risks they are taking in their
behalf. They are, not relations, and there
fore 1t Is not affection for their kindred that
spurs them on. Neither is it at all probable
that they have been stimulated by the prom
ise OF money. The only explanation that at
all meets the case is that the men who are
engaged in these conspiraces are partakers
In the crime, indirectly no doubt but never
theless responsible before the law, and that
they fear that the culprits now before the
bar may not be willing to suffer in silence.
1t has been suspected from the first that be-
hind the men who actually killed Dr. Cro-
min there was apowerful organization of
whom they were merely the agents. Ger
tainly these conspiracies go far towards max
Ing that suspicion a certainty.

The Farmers Alliance, which is making
so much commotion in So1th Carolina, is a
very strong organization, numbering up
wards of seventy thousand members, scat
tered throughout the South. Governor Cor
don of Georgia and other prominent men
are members Of 1t. The origin of the organ
ization Is interesting, and shows the troubles
OF agriculturists who rely largely upon for
eign markets. The cotton growers of the
South have for years been practically at the
mercy of cotton buyers in Europe, because
they have not had capital with which to
handle their crops. AS soon as the cotton is
picked they begin to draw on their factors
for funds to meet their expenses of market
Ing the product. The result is that the buy-
ers make the price. So the farmers have
formed their Alliance, and so extensive has
It become that its members produce the bulk
OF the cotton now grown. They are said to
have secured promises from London capital-
lists OF all the money they want or need to
hold their product back aud force higher

make the movement. There were 1000 900
bales Of cotton produced last year. A dollar
bale on the crop means over 81 ,00O, 900 for
the cotton growers to divide. The Farmers
Alliance propose to divide it. Meanwhile.
however, some Of the local branches seem
to have become excited with the possession
of the power that comes from organization

A PATRIOTIC SUGGESTION.

Ex.Mayor Weaver Proposes Plan for
Marking Braddock's Field-He Points
Ont the Army's Line of March.
Ex-Mayor Weaver in an interesting chat
yesterday proposed plan for raising monu-
ments for Braddock's Fields that will not
only interest citizens of Braddock, but the
people of Western Pennsylvania. He said:
'In reading the article in Fridays DIS
PATCH upon "Historic Braddock, " itstruck
me forcibly that the borough where 'the
memorable defeat of General Braddock's
army took place could have in their midst
a momento of the past to show the traveller
In all future time, by establishing posts or
marks of Braddock's army's progress along
the line Of march. There should be
monument in the town where the hrst
repulse took place at the upper ravine.
"When 1 was boy is years of age, over 90
years ago, went out to Braddock's Field.
The only honse was that of the owner of the
land, George Wallace, an old-fashioned resi-
dent. An old maD, an employe of Mr..
Wallace, was plowing. We were standing
about the Parker place when he pointed out
to us the line of march of Braddock's army
from the fording at the river to the upper
ravine. He showed us two trees at the ford
about go yards apart, as the spot where
General Braddock came across, from my
recollection. These trees were about
half or three-quarters OF mile
below the mouth of Turtle creek. The two
ravines where the French and Indians were
concealed was a strategic hiding place.
They we'll knew that when the army crossed
the ford they would pass between these ra-
ohoh1 foat
above the other, and about so yards apart.
The French and Indians waited until the
English troops came within 100 feet of the
top of the upper ravine, when murderous
fire was delivered, so completely taking the
troops BY surprise that they retreated only
to receive a more dreadful onslaught in
their rear.
''The old farmer showed us the stump of a
great oak tree. Tradition pointed this tree
out as the support General Braddock was
laid against when killed. He said that
many people from England had taken
chunks away from this stump as souvenirs
to show their friends at home. Even as
late as 5o:years ago we picked up in the
newly plowed field darts from Indian
arms, broken flint gun, locks and two
pieces of bayonets almost eaten away by
rust. Not many places have more his
toric Importance than Braddock's Fields.
"What gives this battlefield singular
distinction is the fact that General Wash
ington won his first renown by conducting
the successful retreat of the routed army
across the ford and back 70 Fort Necessity,
he becoming commander of the army by
reason of Braddock's death. 1 am sur
prised that spot SO full of interest has es-
capped the attention and remembrance of
our citizens for so many years. I certainly
would like to arouse the attention of some
one older than myself and more familiar
with the history of the spot"

POKER ROOM RAIDED.
How Mayor Pearson Secured the Right
Names of Four Prisoners.

How Mayor Pearson Secured the Right
Names Of Four Prisoners.
A gambling room at the corner of Chest
nut and Third streets, Allegheny, was
raided by Officer Thornton and squad OF
police, at 3 o'clock yesterday morning. A
lively game of poker was in progress. The
police captured William Quigley, the pro-
prietor, and seven players: John Haas, No.
235 East street; Charles Meyers, No. IS
Villa street; August Arnold, No. 153 Madi-
son avenue; John Delp, No. 16 Green street;
William Leasure, No. 154 Madison avenue;
Louis Jones, of Bellevernon, and William
Haas, of No. 80 Green street. At the police
station Quig1ey gave the name of John c.
Smith, and the first four players gave false
names.
The seven players were arraigned before
Mayor Pearson yesterday forenoon, and
each was fined Sc. All paid except Meyers,
whose fine was remitted. Mayor Pearson
suspected that some of the men had given
false names, and he inquired of the officers.
They informed him that four had given
false names and three their correct names.
every we'll, his Honor said, eve will
hold these four men as witnesses against
Quigley. Take them back to the lookup"
The four men almost fell over one another
in their eagerness to furnish their real
names and addresses. They were there
upon permitted to depart.
An information will be made against
Quigley to-day, and he will probably be
held for the grand jury. Mayor Pearson
SAYS that he is determined to break up
gambling in Allegheny, and he thinks the
gamblers will find it out by and by.
