SHEEPsHEAD BAY, July 2.-This was
the closing day OF the spring meeting OF
the Coney Island Jockey Club. A
heavy rain this morning made the track
quite heavy. The event of the day was
the realization stakes for 3-year-olds, all
starters to pay $3.50, all OF which was to
go to the second and third horses, the
Coney Island Jockey Club to add $1O,-
00U; the second to receive $4,000 of the

Torso, Padishah, Banquet, Her Highness,
Palisade, Rancocas, King Thomas,
Tournament, J. j., Jersey Pat. Lisi-
mony, of which Mr.. Morris had great
hopes, this morning developed symp-
toms OF lock-jaw and had to be with
drawn. He will probably die. Tourna-
ment was the favorite, with Palisade
second choice, and Torso and Banquet
next. The race was poor one. From
the start Tournament took the lead and
increased it constantly. He galloped
easily by the post, the winner by thirty
lengths. The only interest in the race
was the struggle for second money. The
fight was between Banquet and Her

those who claim to have been inmates
of the never to be forgotten prison pen
of Andersonville. There were never
ten men hung there, but We did hang
six men, on the 18th of July, 1854, and
I tell you we did not ask one man to do
the hanging, for if there was any one
within tho stockade that was opposed
to the hanging outside of the candi-
dates themselves, they were men that
were in some way implicated in the
same crimes for which We were hanging
those six.
We tried them by court-martial,
the same as in the army, and found
those six guilty of murder. Wepassed
sentence of death on them, and old
Wirz would not let us hang them for
fear our men in the North would retail
ate and hang six of their men. We of
the jury that had tried the prisoners
wrote up petition stating what the
condemned men had done and why we
had thus passed sentence on them.
We sent the petition through our lines
to Atlanta to General Sherman. He
signed the petition to hang them and
sent the papers back to US, and then
Wirz gave his consent and furnished
us lumber wherewith to build the scaf-
fold. Now I am one that had hand in
all the proceedings, and we all thought
at the time, and I think to this day, we
did a good thing for ourselves and the
world at large when we strung them
up. Now, the paper from Springfield
says the veterans Stunned the man
Nichols on account of his work of
hanging the men at Andersonville. I
will say here that is falsehood, and I
am one that took part in all the pro-
oeedings and hanging, and am mem
Der of the G. A. r., and am not
afraid of my comrades stunning me
for doing what I thought best there.
I was prisoner in Andersonville
eighteen months and nineteen days,
and am acquainted with all that tran
spired in that place during that time.

We drilled eight hours . day, and no

bound that we should be soldiers. At
first we were armed with cornstalks,
sticks, broomsticks, anything to drill
with. We finally got some old mus

along yery nicely, and put on consider
erabIe style. About midnight I heard
some one coming down the guard line,
and, of course, according to regulations,
I challenged the advancing party,
who proved to be our Colonel making
the grand rounds alone. He had the
face to ask me for my gun, saying that
he wanted to drill me. was beard

was tiger on drill, and drilling made
me tired. "Not much, Colonel; you
don't get my gun" After posting me as
to my duly while on guard, he
passed on.
Our Denny was on the next beat,
and he saw the Colonel coming.
@Good-evening to yez, Colonel, says
Denny.
1Let me have your gun," says the
Colonel.
"Sure yez can have it, says Denny;
"and sure and sure its dom fine man
yez are"
With this, he gave the Colonel his
gun, remarking: "Oi'll be afther going
to the guard-house and light my pipe"
And walked off, leaving the Colonel
standing guard.
I had to call the corporal of the
guard, who relieved the Colonel by
sending another guard. Denny flu
ished smoking in the guard-houss.

Judge Sherman, of Cleveland, and Sis

with clenched fists and tear-flled eyes.

and mother and oldest children, leav-
ing two young girls, whom General

them in his wife's charge and kept
them for nearly two years out of his
own pocket. He then succeeded in
getting good homes for them, and his
friends say that to this day-that was
eight years ago-he has kept watch
over them, sending them gifts of money
from time to time.

to the Georgians.
'Arise for the defense of your ma

roads in Sherman's front, flank and

"Let every man fly to arms, F" wrote
the Confederate Secretary of War,
Seddon. Remove your negroes, horses,

Governor Brown ordered levy for
war of all the white male population OF
Georgia between 16 and 45 years old.
He also offered pardon to all peniten-
tiary convicts who would become Con-
federate soldiers, but only hundred
availed themselves of the offered free
dom. A number of these were cap
tured in their striped prison garb by
the Union army. Benjamin II. Hill,
a member of the United States Senate
in 1882, was in 1864 Senator from
Georgia to the Confederate Govern
ment. He sent from Richmond a
proclamation to Georgians, saying:
Every citizen with his gun and
every negro with his spade and AK can
do the work of soldier. You can de-
stroy the enemy by retarding his
march. Be firm, act promptly, and

But none of these efforts were able
to arouse serious opposition to Sher-

THE MOST JUST TAX.
New York World.

New York World
1t is worthy of note that Senxtsr
Plumb, republican, and Representa-
tive Holman, democrat, should within
the same week have advocated an in
come tax as q means of relieving the
necessaries Of the people Of their pres
ent burden Of taxation.
Mr.. Holman declared that "a Judi
cious income tax, which would reach
fairly and justly the great private es-
tates which our class legislation has
created, would do great coal towards
preventing reckless appropriations"
"For," as he argued, "when, the wealth
of the country bears reasonable por-
tion of the tax that swells to $400000.-
600 a year, owners of grsat private
estates will begin to see the value of
frugal and honest governmsnt"
So long as a poor mans tax on his
sugar, clothing, tinware, and crockery,
tools and machinery, and on all his
chief necessaries, is much greater
relatively, and in many cases as great
actually as the tax on the rich man
for the same articles, taxation Is not
equal, and the rich man can afford
to be Indifferent to national extrava-
gance.
A graded income tax e1empting in
comes less than $4,000, and increas-
ing with each $4,000 above that
amount, would not only be the most
Just tax, but it would. as Mr.. Holman
suggests, interest the influential class
in securing economical government.

and it was at Fredericksburg that he
performed his crowning act of bravery.
All day after the battle of Fredericks-
burg a CALLING fire was kept up be-
tween Kershaw's Brigade Confederate
and Sykes Division United States
army. The ground between the fam
Gus "stone wall" and Sykes Division
was bridged by the wounded, dead and
dying, and from all the ranks of the
fallen men rose up the cry in agonized
tones, water! Water!" The Confed-
crate General sat upstairs in room
in Stevens house when Sergeant
Kirkland burst into the room and asked
Indignantly:
General, can you do nothing for
those perishing men?"
what do you mean?"
"All day and night / have listened
to those men crying for water. want
permission to give them water"
kirkland, it is sure death"
Il know it, but am willing to risk
it."
The General took him by the hand
and said, while his voice trembled with
emotion:
Il ought not to permit you to run
such risk, but your motives are so
noble 1 cannot say no. May your God
be with you"
@Thank YOU, sir. May show white
handkerchief"
Il am sorry to refuse you, Kirkland,
but cannot permit it."
"All right, sir.
Kirkland ran down the stairs with
smile lighting up his handsome face.
With what anxiety he was watched as
he stepped over the stone wall. How
their hearts beat quickly, and then
seemed to stop, and then beat harder
than ever! Oh, it was grand, a
glorious sight to watch that young
soldier on his Christ-like errand He
reached the nearest wounded unhurt
Raising their heads, he poured the
life-giving fluid down their parched
and burning throats, and covered
many from the cold with their army
coats. Both sides now understood his
mission. Firing upon and around him
ceased. and for an hour and half did
he minister to their needs, not only
relieving their thirst for the present
but providing for their returning thirst
by filling their empty canteens.
Such deeds should never die. They
should be emblazoned in letters of
gold upon the pages of history. Poets
should embalm his noble act in un-
dying verse, painters reproduce the
scene upon their glowing canvas.
His deed should be sung at the cradle,
And told to the child on the knee,
As long there lives soldier
Who marched meath the flag of Lee.
To love those who love us is human,
to love our enemies is godlike.

Bowers, if You were going to select a
commander for the cavalry arm of the
Potomac army, who would be the
man?' The Colonel modestly replied
that, knowing Fitzpatrick to be man
of unquestioned bravery and dash, he
would choose him. Grant then turned
to General Rawlins and requested his
choice. Rawlins replied: We have
tried General Crook in many positions,
and have always found him the man
for the emergency and the place, and
he is cavalry officer of much pru-
dence; he would be my choice Grant
smoked silently and apparently uncon-
cerned for few moments, and then
replied substantially: Colonel, I am
pleased with your friendship for Kill
patrick, and have no doubt as to his
ability, his bravery, and his dash as q
cavalry commander, but he is not the
man for the emergency that now con-
fronts u.s. Then turning to General
Rawlins, whom he always addressed
familiarly as John, he said: John,
everything you say of Crook is true.
He is brave, cautions, and trust
worthy officer, and might, perhaps, fill
the position admirably, but I have Sc

rom the Lyons Eagle:

From the Lyons Eagle:
The advance in silver has appreciated
the grain market abroad by increasing
the cost of the rupee, with which Eng
land pays for her Indian or colonial
wheat. The higher silver goes, the
more the wheat costs, whether the quo
tations are advanced or not. As we sell
our wheat for gold, we are thus enabled
to compete more easily as silver and
gold move towards parity.-Baltimore
Journal of Commerce.
Then the converse of the above prop
osition is true. The lower silver goes
the lower wheat goes. Now if this is
true the wheat raisers we're deliberate
ly robbed, as the Eagle has said before,
by the men who demonetized silver and
sent it down from S1.29 to 70 cents
Let us see if it is so. In 1872 wheat
was worth (this is Officially s1.47 per
bushel, and silver was then worth
$1.29. In 1889 its bullion value was
~ cents and wheat was worth 80 cents.
Farmers, how do you like the picture?
And is the party who did it entitled to
your support? If 30, should it rob
you some more would there not be a
double obligation for you to vote for
that party. Think the matter over and
see if you can discover why silver was
not remonetized. In whose interest
was the silver bill just passed, yours or
England's? II they wished to benefit
you they knew free coinage would do
it, and relieve you partially from COM
petition with India. Did they do it?
II they legislated for the benefit of
England and India, instead of their
constituents, don't you think you'd
better cast your votes for legislators
who are not quite SO Hinglish You
know?
