PRISONERS TAKEN.

IS p M.-We have taken about $50
prisoners, including men from thirty diff
ferent regiments. We have captured ten
guns and lost seven. | cannot learn that
We have lost any considerable number of
prisoners. The battlefield is three miles
north from Crawfish Spring and about
eight miles south of Rossville. 1t is
mainly in forest four miles square.
al p M-Dr. Perrin, Medical Director
of this Department, estimates the number
of our wounded as not exceeding 1000.
CHATTANOOGA, September 20, P. M
My report to-day is of deplorable import
ance. Chicamanga is as fatal name in
our history as Bull Run. The battle began
late this morning. The first cannon was
fired at 8, but no considerable firing till TO-
Previous to 10 Rosecrans rode the whole
length of the line. All seemed promising
except columns of dust visible within the
rebel lines, moving north, and a report
from our right that the enemy had been
telling timber during the night. Soon
after the fighting commenced. Thomas,
who had the left, began to call for re-en-
forcements. Then, about II, came the
word that he had been forced to retire to
his second line. Re-enforcements were
sent him, and McCook's whole corps,
which was on the right and as reserve in
the center, was ordered to his assistance.
t. s. Wood, of Crittenden's corps, and Van
Cleve, who held the front in the center,
were also ordered to the left, where the
fury of the cannonade showed that an i'm
mense rebel force was massed. Their
places were to be filed by Davis and Sher-
idan, of McCook's corps, but hardly had
these divisions moved to take their places
in the line when the rebel FIRE, which had
Stacked on our left ever since it was turned
and driven back about three-quarters of
an hour previously, suddenly burst out in
enormous volumes upon our center.

In view of the fact that a sailing ship of
5000 tons is now building at Liverpool,
and two more of 5000 tons each at Brest.
it would seem as if steamships are not 60

Great Enterprise Montana
w. c. Bryan Of the Brooklyn Times
Tells Of
Great Falls From Personal Obserya-
ton and knowledge.
How Great Business Interests are
Developed.

Great Falls, Montana, is one of the lat
est Illustrations Of the rapid growth of
towns in the far west. In 1885 there was
not house where now stands city with
a population of over three thousand
which is rapidly increasing. Located at
a bend of the Missouri river, which at
this point widens out and forms a bay,
giving it the appearance Of a lake, Great
Falls has situation finer and possessing
more natural advantages than that of any
other city in the new state Of Montana.
In the first place, it has natural water
power greater tlan that Of Lowell and
Holyolle combined. Within short dis
tance and connected by railroad are ex-
tcnsive mines, containing gold. silver, cop
per, lead and coal. Limestone abounds
and fine quality of brownstone suitable
for building purposes is found within u
few miles Of the city.
The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-08-24

one Of its wealthiest and most progress
sive citizens, has extended every facility,
to shippers to and from Great Falls, and
who, realizing the future that must come
to place possessing such advantages,
has made large investments in real es-
tate and mining property in the vicinity.
The St. Paul, Minneapolis u Manitoba
railroad is we'll managed, its train service
consisting of drawing room coaches,
sleepers, dining cars and free colonist
sleeping cars, being equal to the best.
The latter, which are supplied with a
fine lavatory and kitchen, where the colo
nists can prepare and cook their own food,
are models of cleanliness and comfort.
Meals are furnished on the dining cars at
IS cents each and the following bill of
fare will give the reader an idea how
good a meal can be had for so moderate
a sum-moderate when it is considered
that the road runs for hundreds of miles
across the prairics, where no opportunity
offers for renewing supplies:
The Great Falls leader. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1888-1900, 1889-08-24

Within ten miles Of Great Falls are the
extensive Sand Coulce coal mines, ex-
tending along the base Of the Belt noun
tains for distance Of sixty miles, afford
Ing all inexhaustible supply of good coal.
The land around Great Falls is we'll
adapted to farming. All kinds of crops
raised in the northwestern country seem
to flourish there. The climate is not, US
Is generally supposed, extremely cold,
the Chinook winds In winter tempering
the atmosphere to such an extent that
snow does not last for any length of time
and cyclones, tornadoes and earthquakes
are unknown. A large and profitable bus
mess is done by the farmers around Great
Falls in sheep raisin g, the shipment of
wool from there being an important item
of business to the railroads.

To MIR. Paris Gibson is principally due
the credit of realizing the value of the site
on which Great Falls is built. He was the
first Mayor of the city and is now presi-
dent of the townsite company and with
the able assistance of Charles NJ. Web
ster, secretary and E. A. Dickerman,
treasurer, is leaving nothing undone to
further the interests of the city of which
he is so justly proud. The whole river
front has been very wisely decided to the
city to be used as Il park. Trees have
been set out and roads built and in a few
years Great Falls will undoubtedly be
the garden spot of Montana.
Already many capitalists have realized
the advantages Of Great Falls as a bust
ness centre and several large manufacture
ing establishments are contemplated,
some being already in active operation.
One Of the largest of these is the extern
sive plant Of the Montana Smelling Co.
The works which numbers among its
stockholders W. S. Gurnee, Edward
Cooper and Abram S. Hewitt of New
York, are on the banks of tho river, just
out of the city limits, in close proximity
to the Giant spring, some of the water
from which is utilized by the smelling
works. This spring, which is one of the
curlosities shown to visitors, is on the
banks of the Missouri river and its flow
of water has been estimated to be equal
to one-third the volume of the river when
in its normal state and of sufficient guam
tity to furnish n city as large as Brooklyn
with its supply. The water is clear aud
ofa very pure quality, being much softer
than that of the river

The road runs its own sleeping cars
and holds its attaches to strict account
for their treatment Of passengers, AS a
result nothing but courtesy and polite
ness are to be met with.
The run from st. Paul to Great Falls
takes thirty six hours and affords to the
passenger many interesting sights. In
dians are frequently seen on the prairies,
droves of horses and cattle being driven
over the trail to the east, which runs for
the greater portion of the way near the
railroad. The road passes by Fort Bu-
ford, Fort Assiniboine, Fort Benton, the
head of navigation on the Missouri river,
the Chinook Indian agency and other
places equally interesting, and the jour
ney is made more pleasant by the fact
that there is little or no dust. Its west
ern terminus is Great Falls, where 1t con
meets with the Montana Central, running
from there to the great mining cities of
Butte and Helena.

The finish of the race between the two
runners from the smelter caused consid-
cradle excitement Our peaceful medi-
tation in the sanctum was disturbed by
mingled shouts Of men, barking~o dogs.
rapidly moving teams and men on horse
back, heralding the contestants approach.
Rushing out we were just in time to
see Mr.. Gourley finish his four milos in
good condition. Gourley is reported to
have taken and kept the lead from the
start. AS they neared the city Mack
made an effort to pass his rival, but was
unable to do SO and soon fell out winded.
They started from the smelter at 6:44 and
Gourley finished at 1923, making the time
3S minutes. One would judge from the
casual remarks about town that some
money had changed hands ON the race.
The winner appears to be very easy
runner.

NEW YORK. Aug. g.23.-Peckingham and
Nolar were hanged at 6:55 a. IN. on the
Franklin street side. At 1908 a. m. Lewis
and Carolin were hanged on the Leonard
street scaffold. The four women mur-
deress, Patrick Quackenham, Jack Lewis
(colored), James Nolar and Fred Carolin,
were hanged in the yard of the tombs
prison this morning. There were two
scatfolds and two men were hung On each.
Peckenham and Nolar were the first ex-
ecuted on scaffold which was erected
on the Franklin street side of the prison.
The drop fell at 6:55 o'clock. Eight min
utes later Lewis and Carolin were hang
ing from the scaffold on the Leonard
street side. Sheriff George Black and
Under Sheriff Sexton entered the prison
at 6:15, followed by twenty deputy sher-
ifs, all in black clothes and wearing silk
hats. Each official wore his badge of
Office and carried staff They marched
into the corridor, ten Of them taking their
places at Leonard street and the others
at the Franklin wall. The first jury OF
twelve men and all tie newspaper rep
resentatives entered the prison yards and
two minutes later the second set of Jurors
filed in and marched to their places.
The last rites of the churches were ad'
ministered to Peckenham and Nolar al
$40. They emerged from the Jail ac'
companied by three priests.
After the men had taken their places
on the scaffold they both grasped the
hands of the priest, wringing them fer.
vently, then hangman Atkinson tied a
white cord about the legs of Nolar just
above the ankles. His assistant did q
like service to Peckenham. In {. twink
ling the black caps were adjusted and al
d signal from Atkinson the bodies were
jerled into the air. At 7:10 Nolar an d
Peckenham were pronounced dead, but
their bodies were permitted to hang tif
teen minutes longer.
While this scene was being enacted pre-
parations were being made for what
proved to be the III ost shocking spectacle
that had ever taken place within the wallt
of the Tombs prison. By many pc ersons
Carolin, who was German, was not be
lieved to be of sound mind, although the
experts at his trial declared him sane
There seemed to be screw loose some
where and every prison keeper Or deput,
sheriff who ever had to watch said so
Upon ascending the scaffold he had the
butt of cigar between his lips and wal
putting vigorously, blowing great clio uds
of smoke into the faces of the priests
His face was as pale as the face of the
dead and had scowl upon it almost de
monacal. He glared at the priests as hi
turned around and felt the rope touc}
his shoulders. Splitting the cigar stul
from his mouth he broke into blasphemy
that Mortified the spectators.
| He murdered Il woman who passed as hi
wife in a small back room in a Stanton
street tenement. Lewis and Nolan, like
Carolin, had each murdered his mistress
Like Carolin, also, both were hard drink
ers. Peckenllam's victim was his wife.
He too, was drinking.
The Tombs prison at present contains
two other men, Chilling and Carlton, unde,
sentence of death and fifteen men and
one woman awaiting trial for homicide
