DIED ON A SLEEPER.
Fate of the Last of Band of Ex-
COnfederates

Fate OF the Last of a Band of Ex-
Confederates.
Harry G. Janet died of delirium ire
mems on the New Orleans sleeper here
last night, writes a Milan, Tenn, cor
respondent of the Globe-Democrat.
With the dead man nephew watched
and waited, and delivered to the author
dead mans career to have been strange
and checkered one.
When johnson surrendered, in 1865.
the brigade of which Gen. John G. Biggs
was commander, and in which the man
who died last night was colonel. marched
to Atlanta, slipping away from the main
army in the dead of night, and there
disbanded. The officers of the brigade,
with the staff, met at banquet
given by the grim old general, and
there was formed one of the
strangest brotherhoods history re-
cords. The Famous Twenty" COM
posed of the best blood in the South,
saw their homes devastated, their
hearth-fires destroyed, and had no
place to lay their heads. Wine in
famed their already frenZied passions,
and they swore eternal fidelity to each
other, but that their hands should be
against every man who fought against
them. They swore to spend the balance
of their lives in riotous living and dissi-
patton. How we'll they kept their oaths
is shown by the fact that in four years
thirteen he'd crossed over into the I'M
known, and in 1880 only one was left,
the man who died last night. A diary
shows that not one of the "FamOuS
Twenty" died dishonorable death,
and though they failed to harm any of
their Old-time enemies each died salts
fed, but all passed away in the throes
of mania pOtu. The dead mans body
was carried to Vicksburg, Miss, the
home Of the dead soldier, by his nephew.
His last words were: "Gen. Biggs.
have done my duty" and as his weak
hands were uplifted in a salute, his
spirit took its flight.

HEAVY NEAksEAET.
The Session i'm Wall Street Slug
giSIl THROUGHOUT.


New YORK, Dec. 20.-The stock mar
ket to-day was intensely dull through
out the session and was heavy. Before
the close, however, there was more
strength displayed, especially after the
publication of the bank statement.
which was the best one made for long
while. The gold received on Wednes-
day counted for only three days in the
averages, but nevertheless the surplus
reserve shows an increase of s.. S91, 900,
and is left over at S4,000,000. There was
also au increase in the specie held of
81, 136, 700, and as the statement was
made up on rising averages. the actual
condition of the banks is in all proba-
bIlity much better than shown by the
statement. In addition, nearly $1,000, 900
more gold arrived this morning, and
will be a factor in next weeks state
ment. The statement, however, un-
dOubtedly reflects return of portion
OF the locked up money. and for addi-
tlonal evidence upon this point the ease
in the money market of late, together
with the fact that so many time loans
have been made during the past
week that nearly every house having
suitable securities has been able to
secure all the time money wanted, and
to-day many brokers called upon first
CldSS HOUSES dllu OucIcu SIX months
money ats per cent. Many of tie in
situations who have been engaged in
locking up their funds are now trying
to make long loans before the January
disbursements. as the payments at that
time are estimated at about 10000 900.
Some of this money must find its way
into Wall street in the purchase
of bonds and dividend paying
stocks. Tire market to-day was
