man in this company can bear witness.
One day, while / was in Richmond as
a member of the Confederate Congress,
l lost roll of money, my pay for the
month, somewhere in the street on my
way from the War Office to the hotel.
I called few fellows together and
went on what seemed to be hopeless
quest through the dimly-lighted and
snow-covered streets. The chances
were a thousand to one against sue
cess; but we hadn't been out fifteen
minutes before young Lieutenant who
who was In our party stopped down
and pick up the money. We all talked
about our friends good luck-but see
how quickly fortune can turn another
face. was in high glee, and wanted
to treat. The searching party now
went in search of place of refrcsh-
ment, but 1t was after midnight and it
was good while before we found .
place open. At longth, however. we
were piloted to "a saloon to which,
pending some repairs. access was had
from the street only by a ladder of
about dozen rungs. We all climbed
up, considering it lark q was q good
deal younger in those days), and after
having some refreshment climbed out
again. Would you believe itp The
lucky fellow who had found my money
missed his footing, fell, and In that fall
of ten or twelve feet brofe his neck
and was instantly killed.

Blown up by Powder and Dynamite

Blown up by Powder and Dynamite.
Henry Schaffer, colored, was SER
iously and probably fatally injured
yesterday. afternoon by au explosion
of powder and dynamite Schaffer,
Dan Allen and another colored man
were working at well not far from
McCarter's Mill, in the eastern part
of the city. Dan Allen and one ne
gro were preparing to make q blast
in the bottom of the well. Schaffer
was at the top of She well, in charge
of nearly half keg of powder and
four OF five charges of dynamite, fuse
etc. He built fire close to these
combustibles in order to have some
Goals to light off the fuse in the well.
His carelessness may cost him his
life. In some way the can of pow
der was exploded, causing the dyna-
mite cartridges to explode. Schaffer
was thrown ten or fifteen feet in the
air and when picked up it was
thought that he was dead DR.. W..

Schaffter's body from the shoulders
to the feet was terribly burned, and

The death of the crow happened
recently, and 1t was remarkable as it's

place two or three days and, although
search was made for It, it could not be
found. At last it was discovered in q

windlass, and so be forced down again.

was very well known throughout the
vicinity, is missed by the neighbors as
