ONE OF JOHN BROWNS SPEARS.
4 Relic Preserved By One Who Helped
CAPTURE TIA, AhaIfttan{st

Relic Preserved by One Who Helped
Capture tie Abolftionist.
MIR. a. B. Allen, residing at No. I,224
New Jercy avenue, Washington, has in
ais possession an interesting relic of the
'aid OF John Brown ut Harper's Ferry in
lSoO. This Is one OF the spears used by
Brown and his men when they attempted
.he liberation of the slaves in that vicinity.
The spear head is of iron, about eight
inches in length. and is like two edged
knife blade ON a substantial socket, into
which the staff-a piece of hickory six feet
long-is fastened. Mr. Allen secured this
relic, as well as rife, when. after Browns
capture, he and some others were pressed
into service and placed on duty at the en-
CINE house to guard the abolitionist and
those captured with him.
MIR. Allen had been employed by a citizen
to capture two of his slaves who had run
away. The only clew as to the direction
the fugitives had taken was information
that they had gone up the canal. At the
time OF their departure there had been no
tidings received here of Browns ipten-
lions, although it was possible that some
Oh the slaves had been privately notified of
them. Mr.. Allen came to the conclusion
that the runaways might be headed off by
taxing the railroad, and took the train.
i went up by way of the Relay house and
the main line" said Mr.. Allen, ..entirely
Obvious of what was going on at the
ferry.
when we came opposite the ferry ON
the Maryland side the train was stopped.
Then we learned by rumor of the fighting
ut the ferry. We could hear all kinds OF
rumors, and the train from the west had
not been heard from This was the train
run by Capt. Jack Phelps, who was well
known here as one of the lessees of the
Alexandria and Washington railroad.
There were only twenty-five or thirty of
US on the train, and we remained on this
side all night. We heard during the night
the movement of train over the river.
and finally Phelps train came over. We
then learned that Browns men had STONED
and held the train for some hours, but that
the leader when he was informed that the
United States mail was on the train al
lowed it to pass. We then learned that in
the lighting in the town some had been
Killed and others wounded Not knowing
what force the insurgents had we did not
cross the bridge, but remained ON this side.
In the morning the marines arrived
from the barracks in this city and they at
once proceeded to put down the insurree-
ton. Capt or Lieut.. Russell. | he
ileye, was in command, and under his
orders the marines We're marched To the
engine house, where Brown and few of
ms men We're. AS we afterward ascer-
tanned, the insurgents could have killed
every one of the marines had they beer, 90
for they had arms and ammnni-

and table lowered until the animal is
lying securely fastened. Previous to
the operation the SPAWN on the right
hind foot caused such pain that the
horse tried hard to go on three feet. A
hood made of padded canvas was placed
over the animals head, completely blind
ing its sight
The animal was then led alongside of
the table in an upright position. and a
stout inch rope fastened to the front of
the table was held around the animals
legs by an attendant The three four
inch wide surcingles were then strapped
securely. tying the animal alongside of
the table. The head was then fastened
to the table, aud the crank turned and
the table slowly lowered to a horizontal
position. The animal at first struggled,
but once upon the table lay quietly on
its right side Then the feet were Sc
curely fastened with stout straps to the
table, the additional precaution being
used of tying the left hind foot with an
inch rope.
Everything was now ready for the OPP
GRAFTON, which is known as cuneon
tenotomy, and was first proposed by the
veterinary, Professor Lafosse, to abolish
lameness arising from bone SPAWN. 1t
consists in division of the internal or
cuneon branch of the tendon of the
iexor metatarsi. The tendon that gave
the trouble is stout one, branch of
another tendon. 1t starts from the an
terror portion of the hook and runs
across diagonally downward to where
the curb generally occurs.
The doctor first made an incision an
inch long. and probe pointed instru-
ment was inserted and the tendon raised
and cut, which gave instant relief. The
tendon lay in a groove and was readily
found The blood was then sponged off
with cold water. and two or three stitches
taken with silk sutures and tied. There
was bony tumor found growing under
the tendon, making the tension on the
tendon so great that the animal could
not put its foo. to the ground.
The table was now put back in per-
pendicular position, the horses feet first
having been unstrapped, and as his feet
touched the ground the girths that
bound the animal to the table simultane-

was badly disappointed man, and Z. force
OF two to three hundred men he had ex.
pected from Pennsylvania had failed TO
materialize. In the afternoon the bodies
of those OF Browns men who had been
killed were removed, and party went ap
on the heights TO search for arms. but was
then unsuccessful.
The next party that went out was re-
warded by finding two boxes of rifles and
spears with ammunition was on guard
when Governor Wise came up aud had a
talk with Brown and three or four other
prisoners. The conversation between
Brown and the governor lasted about an
hour and half OF course, recognizing
Wise as the governor of the state, stood
off some distance and did not listen to
what was said Brown Understood to tell
the governor frankly what was his inten-
ton, keeping nothing back, and believe
he expressed his disappointment that he
had failed and that expected friends did not
appear. Toward the close of the interview
Brown demanded good treatment while a
prisoner, and asked that his meals be sent
him from the hotel. This the governor
promised TO attend to. As he left the
engine house the governor remarked to me:
He is most remarkable man. As soon as
some other troops arrived we were relieved
and sent home. Washington Star
