The Story of . Wounded Union Soldiers
sympathetic Act
Mrs. Ora Langhorne, Of Lynch
burg, Va, writes TO The Boston Trans
cript to reply 10 the confessions that
have been made by lady correspond
ents Of that journal that they cannot
feel that any northern aid should 60 TO
southern soldiers. In deploring the still
existing bitterness OF members OF her
own sex which mars the full and
frank reconciliation between north
and south, she tells the following
story;
"a number Of Massachusetts, sol
diers, wounded in the battle of New
Market, were left in my native village
in the Shenandoah valley. A few days
before. the Confederate authorities,
moving their stores TO prevent capture
by the approaching Federals, had re-
quested the citizens to take into pri-
| vate houses a few Conf, derate soldiers
too i'll for removal from the town.
Lieut.. Woody, q West virginian,
was carried to my fathers house,
and though every effort was made to
save him he died in q few days. At
my fathers request DR.. Allen, the
surgeon Of the Thirty-fourth Massa-
| chusetts regiment, left in charge Of
the wounded Federals, visited MI.
Woody at our house and paid him
every possible attention. In my daily
| visits to the Federal hospital, which
was near us, many kindly inquiries
were always made for the wounded
stranger within our gates One
morning / told the Federal soldiers
that our guest was dead, and many
regrets and much sympathy for his
family were expressed.
"a soldier, named Adams l believe,
who sat on the floor nursing his
wounded foot, said to me gently: i
am q marble cutter by trade, and If
you will give me a slab of hard wood
/ will carve Lieut.. Woodly's name on
it so that his family a find his grave
after the war is over One OF the
walnut boards used 10 mark the sol
diers' graves was sent TO the hospital
and the wounded Federal forgot his
own pain in carving in clear type
the dead Confederate's name and regi-
ment, with the words, He giveth His
beloved sleep In the spring of IS,
after Gen. Grant had received Gen.
Lees surrender and ordered hat the
boys should keep the horses, they
would need to make a CROP a young
widow, with her two lovely boys, the
eldest about 9 years old, visited the
soldiers cemetery In our village and,
parting the tangled grass, found the
name Of her husband carved by the
foe who had been actuated by love,
not hate, though he, too, had suffered.
There was no pension for the widow
Or her babes; a cruel struggle with
poverty lay before them, but as she
knelt and kissed the sod above her
lover-husband she blessed the man
whose care had enabled her to find
the grave"
In conclusion Mrs. Langhorne says;
Cannot the noble women of Boston,
who did SO much to aid our beloved
country in her hour of need, find
some pity in their hearts for those
who have suffered so severely for the
cause which they were taught to be,
lieve was right Massachusetts, men
forgave their enemies when the fight
ing ceased"

Nearly 1000 people crowded into the
Pence opera house last night to attend
the benefit to the Robert Emmett Liter
airy society. The pleasant face of Chris
Gallagher fairly shown out of the ticket
Office window, where he was acting as
special ticket agent for the evening,
and the rapidity with which he made
change gave rise to the suspicion that he
was once connected with circus. Capt.
NJ. Hoy guarded the door and saw that
noone got in unless provided with tick
cts. The programme began with the
presentation of IAN Irish Princess
with Frederick Book as the old king,
and Miss Rodgers as the beautiful
princess. The piece went with good
applause, and was followed by the trial
scene from Robert Emmett" Mr.. Book
appeared as Emmett and delivered the
whole of the patriots famous speech
with telling force and feeling. The
feelings of the audience found vent in
prolonged applause. During the even
ing the orchestra played number of
Irish airs. which helped to swell the
enthusiasm.
There was the usual excellent Mon
day night audience at the Peoples the
ter last evening, and it was what was
probably tine best performance of "a
Celebrated Case" that was ever given
in Minneapolis. j. Leslie Goesen gave
a splendid portrayal of Jean

had last week, and he improved it.

A FAST WALKER.
A Postoffice Clerk Who Has Been
ROhhing the Mails.

A. r. Walker, a young man who has
been employed in the Minneapolis post
Office since October, 1887, and is we'll
known about town, was arrested yester-
day on the charge of stealing money
from registered letters, and is now in
the county Jail in default of $4,000
bonds. he having had preliminary ex-
animation before the United States dis
| trict attorney at st. Paul.
The amount taken by Walker is not
known, but he freely confessed to tax
ing letter addressed to F. c. Law
renee, containing $3.50. 1t was useless
to deny that, as he was caught
| Walker had been employed in the regis
| try department., but as he had got to
| trotting III too fast a class, was some
what irregular in his habits, and liable
| to show up late In the morning. and
| Postmaster Ankeny decided to put him
in another department.. He worked
from then until Feb. in the mailing
department, but OH the advice of the
| pOStoffice inspector was reinStated in
the registry department at the begin
ming of the month just past. During
the month or two preceding Walker
removal from that department several

on account of any suspicion of crook
edness that he was transferred.
When Postoffice Inspector Darbel-
| by came here a month or
more ago to look up the matter
of the lost letters, he suspected Walker
because the populations had ceased at
the time the latter left the registration
| office, and no money OF letters had been
taken since. He therefore suggested
that the young man be replaced and
watched, which was done, with the re.
suit that he was discovered III the act
of taking Mr.. Lawrence's letter OF Sat
urday, and when accused of it con-
fessed his guilt. He does not. how
ever, admit having taken any other let.
ters, but the amount missing is nearly
81, 600, and he is believed to have TAX Ell
| it all.
Walker is unmarried and lives with
his mother at 1406 Park avenue. He
was we'll recommended when he was
appointed to clerkship, but since that
time he has become acquainted with a
choice coterie of young bloods who
spent money freely, and in endeavor
ing to stay with them he spent more
than his income.
Walker is well liked by all who knew
him, and has been the chief support Of
his mother, who is a most estinabie
| woman.

There was one party of Minneapolis
people who made merry last night. in
honor of the Inauguration of the new
president. The Phi Delta Theta fra
ternity claim ben" as their especial
property as far as college societies go,
and we'll they may, for he was one of
their earliest members in their grand
chapter. At Miami University, at
Oxford, o., the greatest man of the
United States at present, graduated
with the class of '52. He was the thlr-
teenth member to join the society and
he bore what all fraternity men know
to be hard struggle in establishing the
new society. The local chapter at the
university has twenty three members,
and they, with few of the alumni,
were the participators in the pretty
West hotel. The college boys,
with their fair ladies, formed as
pleasing sight as has graced the par
lors of the West hotel during all the
season. The music was splendid and
the dancing was the true motion of
college youths and maidens. At the
upper end of the ladies' ordinary was
the life-size bust Of the new president,
respondent in the flowing colors of the
fraternity, blue and white. The dance
programmes were in the same colors,
while the dainty cOstumS of the young
ladies did honor to their brothers, the
'.Phis," by bearing some expression of
their cOlors. 1t was happy occasion,
and needed naught to grace it but the
smiles of the live Ben Harrison instead
of the cold marble. The following

Nelson was strong, manly Roual.
Edwin Flary was an excellent duke.
Miss Ella Salisbury gave very good
performance of Valentine. The play
was splendidly staged, and there were
many pretty pictures. The effective
ness of the production was increased by
the presence of Company B, which ap-
peared in several scenes. "a Cele-
brated Case" will run the remainder of
the week. On Friday night Company
Is will receive a benefit.
Lit would not be at all surprising if
the second edition of 1.-The Crystal
Slipper being presented at the Henne-
pin Avenue theater this week called
out even a larger attendance than did
the first edition given at the Grand last
week. The theater was crowded last
night. and among the audience were a
large number of st. Paul people. An
excellent performance was given.
1.-THE Parlor Match" with Charles E
Evans and William Hoey in the leading
roles, was presented at the Grand opera
house last night to crowded house.
Ihe farce is familiar to theater-goers as
one OF the most popular entertainments
presented here. Mr.. Evans as NC
Corker," the book agent, and Mr.. Hoey
as "Oid HOSs," were as comic as ever i'm
side-splitting characters. The company
is OF the same standard of excellence
maintained by these stars, the last few
years. THE Parlor Match" is on for
a prosperous run and will hold the
boards the entire week.
The Steel Alarm" a play new to
Minneapolis, will be presented at the
Grand the coming week. The play is
one Of the dramatic successes of the day,
and the fire engine scene is pronounced
one OF the most effective bits of realism
seen Oh the stage. Harry Lacy. who
will be remembered as one of the jeune
premiers OF the Madison Square thea
ter, will be seen in the role of Jack
Manly, the hero fireman.
"The Mystery of Hanson Cab will
resume its run at the Pence opera house
