the justice of their cause, and felt that
they were ready to die for their rights
and liberty. But was always glad
when battle was ovet.
The hottest fight ever was in was at
Trevillioh station on the Central railroad
of Virginia. We had sixteen men shot
down in our company in less than fifteen
minutes. Our squadron charged battery
N. of Custer's brigade and drove the
men back from the guns. They fell
back to a piece of timber which was
fringed with a cedar thicket. As we
charged after them we saw several com.
panies of cavalry bearing down on our
left flank. This checked our progress
and just then body of men who had
been ordered up to support the guns had
reached the cedar thicket and opened

A Sad Accident.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., August 2.-Yester-
day Mrs. JEFF Ball and her 12 year old
daughter, who resided near the line in
Ysncy County, came eget to the store
at Barnesville to make some purchases.
Heavy rains caused Che North prong Big
Ivy Greek to rise rapidly. After the
rain Mrs. Ball and her daughter started
back home. a lad went with themsto
the creek and aided them to get on the
foot log, when he turned to leave them.
he looked back Just in time to see them
both fall from the log into the raging
waters of the creek. He ran down the
creek about quarter of q mile hoping
to rescue them at a ford. When he got
there, found shawl and package con-
tanning the goods purchased. Search
was made further down the creek, where
the body of the little girl was first found
about q half mile below the crossing.
Further search found the body of Mrs.
Ball about mile below. Both were
drowned. Mrs Ball was q daughter of
Burley Nancy. highly respected citizen
of Yancey County. The unfortunate
woman left twin babies not yeta year
old.

The appointment Of Webster.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Ihe ap.
pointment of Eugene A. Webster oday
to be the Collector of Internal Revenue
for the South Carolina District was the
Waterloo of the Independent Republi.
can" party of South Carolina, 80 called,
and of its leaders and promoters in
Massachusetts, L. Edwin Dudley, and the
members of the Massachusetts Club. he
was the candidate Of the regular Repub.
licans of Ills State, and, 80 far as the
party can be said to be organized, had
the party organization behind him. The
candidate of Mr.. Dudley and the Inde.
pendents vas first George g. Alexander,
Democratic State Senator from Ker-
shaw County, and q sorehead. When it
was ascertained that he could not win,
the Independents trotted out other can.
didates, and it seemed for time that
the dark horse would win. Webster was
really the only Harrison man who came
up prominently for the place. He was
delegate at the last Chicago convention,
and one of the few who didn't sell out to
Gen. Alger. he voted six times for the
Hoosier candidate.
The agents Of the Massachusetts, Re.
publicans took only week in South
Carolina to discover what q ground swell
reform movement the Independent party
represented. The come.outers had never
elected anybody to anything; but Mr..
Dudley was satisfied that they would if
they had little Federal pap for nour.
ishment. Some hundreds of dollars of
Massachusetts money were sent down to
support the Columbia Daily Record, the
State organ OF the party, and Senator
Hoar and Cabot Lodge spoke for Dudley
and his cause at the White House. A
column and half report was made to
the Massachusetts CLUB, and the Republi-
can papers of Boston went wild over it.
W. W. Russell, leading Independent,
induced Mr.. .Clarkson to give him some
dozen or fifteen postofices; but gradu.
ally, as the truth came in from the local
tiles most interested, the work had to be
all undone.
Between the regulars and iDdepen.
dents, Chairman Brayton of the Republi.
can State Committee was in heap of
trouble. He was Sherman man at Chi.
cago, and is we'll known, and didn't sell
out; but the supposition is that he knew
that his delegates were selling out to
Alger right and left. That is, no doubt,
the reason why John Sherman refused
even to zee Brayton when he called at
his K street house soon after the inaugu-
ration. That was Brayton's first set
back. He went down and down. First
he wanted to be the head of some bureau
here in the city; then he wanted to be
the South Carolina District Attorney,
then United States Marshal, then Con-
sui anywhere. and finally, when the
Independents" seemed to be making it
hopelessly warm for Webster, he took
new hope and made break for the
Internal Revenue Collectorship, his old
position under President Arthur.-N Y
Sun.

Ex-rREAsURER BURKE.
His Remarkable Career IN the Politics
OF Louisiana
From TIE Springfield Republican.

From TIE Springfield Republican.
The reported flight Of L. A Burke, ex-
treasurer Of Louisiana, from England TO
Belgium, and the application of the state
officers for extradition papers. put a still
more serious complexion upon his remark
able case. 1t is not to be wondered at,
however, in view of Burke's brilliant ca reer.
that many people at New Orleans still re-
fuse to believe that he sold worthless state
bonds when treasurer, or embezzled funds
at the rate implied by the seventeen
Indictments now standing against him.
Burke's real name is Edward
O'Bourke, but he changed it to
Edward A Burke when the financial re-
verses of his father forced him TO leave
school and earn living. He learned
telegraphy at Louisville, KY, rose to be
division superintendent at II, enlisted as a
private in q Texas regiment, made a name
for himself by building 200 carts and
wagons for the Confederate service, and
was rewarded by being appointed master of
transportation of the trans-Mississippi de-
partment. After the war Mai. Burke
drifted to New Orleans, and was so poor
that one night he slept on a bench in the
public square He finally found work in a
marble yard at 81 a day. In two weeks he
was superintendent OF the yard; in
year ne was general freight agent OF
the jackson railroad, and in three years he
was the democratic nominee for superin-
tendent OF city improvements at New Or
leans. He was defeated. renominatei, and
elected in 1874 Burke took prominent
part in the McEnery- Kellogg fight for gov
ernor, and in 1875 was chairman of a com
mittee to watch the republican returning
board; his figures formed the basis of
Tilden's claim to the electoral vote of the
state. In 1877 Maj. Burke was state col
lector of the New Orleans district, ana
year later was elected state treasurer,
position which he held for ten years. He
bought the New Orleans Democrat, and
the Daily Times and consolidated them
into the well-known Times Democrat. IL
was during his treasurership that he was
made director general of the New Orleans
exposition, and it is to be noted that all the
state bond Irregularities now charged upon
him are assigned to the period when he was
managing the exposition, the duties of
treasurer being mainly performed by sub
ordinates. II Maj. Burke had FASTENED
home upon the first ugly rumors, his repu-
tation would have made the community his
friends pending an investigation. AS it is,
public opinion in Louisiana is now strongly
