of Death and attested beyond the shadow of
| a question the courage, staying powers, devo-
tiOn aud effective fighting qualities of those
engaged. Said an eminent writer writing of
that day, The battle was the full revelation
of Thomas, and the matchless fighting along
his lines glsrifed the private soldiers who held
them steady aud saved tho army" Chaplain
Lyle, whom you all remember so well, writing
III 1850, when every member was present, fresh
and vivid, in his Light and Shadows"
records his recollection of tho sounds of the
battle as follows: i had heard the roar of
battle at Bull Run. had felt the earth culver
under the fierce conflicts of South Mountain
and Antietam, but the incessant roar of artil-
lery and musketry on this terrible day seemed
to excel all three battlefclds combined. The
musketry was neither in distinct shots nor re-
peated volleys, but il was one mighty, fearful,
continuous roll, which, added to the shouts of
combatants rs they charged to and fro like
the surgng waves on the shore, together with
the loud, deep booming and crashing ofartillery,
seemed more like the mighty roar of a dozen
Niagaras than anything merely human"

two days battle. Ia the morning we had, for
the first time for several days that luxury so
genuinely appreciated by the exhausted, hun

Importance occurred during the day in tho

was sandwched in among the morning hours.

which were near the 36th, and the boys of our

the form OF popular outpouring. gathering
about her as she sat on her horse and detailed
to them her adventures during the last two

little woman cheer at the close of her story,
aud she responded by promising each ono a

JUST TWO ROUNDS.
TIE AUSTRALIAN KNOCKS THE AMERICAN
OUT IN SIX MINUTES
MeAuliaes Pace Shows Marks Of Very Severe Pun
ishmet-The Fight for One Thousand Pounds
and the Championship Belt Of the
World-Slayin Unscathed.

LoNpoN, September 27.-The much
talked Of fight between Frank Slavln,
the Australian champion. and Joe Nc
AuliiTe, the American heavy weight
pugilist, took place at the Ormonde
Club at eight o'clock this morning. AT
$3.50 o'clock the men were awakened by
their trainers and were thoroughly
sponged down and rubbed by their
trainers, and each received a Stimulant
in the form of an egg Zip.
At about , o'clock the two principals
entered the ring, followed by their sec
onds. On the call Of time both men ad-
vanccd at once to the center OF the ring.
After short preliminary Sparring, Sla-
vim led off rather low with his right.
This was returned by one from
McAuliffe with the left, which
missed its mark. The Ameri-
can quickly followed it up with
good one from the left, then the right
was busy, and in some exchanges which
followed, McAulifTe had decidedly the
better of it. When they broke away,
McAulllc landed powerful blow on
his opponents chest with his right, but
Slayin promptly retaliated, whereupon
McAulitle came TO the ground.
The second round ended in another
drop for McAulife, resulting in Slavin
being declared the winner.
The fight lasted six and three-quarter
minutes. McAuliffe'S face showed
marks of severe punishment. The fight
was for $1,000 and the Policc Gazette
championship belt.

THEY MAY SELL roLsrors NOVEL.
Judge Thayer Says the Street Peddlers
Have Committed No Offence.

PHILADELPHIA, September 2G.-Th'
case Of the street peddlers who have
been selling the "krcutzcr sonata was
decided in their favor by Judge Thayer
to-day.
Judge Thayer in his opinion says the
book is a novel possessing very little
dramatic interest or literary merit.
The opinion concludes as follows:
"The work may be offensive to our
opinions and convictions. just as others
are which are daily sold in our book
stores without objection or challenge
from anybody, but IL cannot be- justly
said 10 be- OF am obscene or lewd charac-
ter. nor J., 10. either in 20 sentiments or
language. in any degree calculated TO
minister 10 corrupt or licentiOus pra@
tices. or to crafty iewd desires or 10
encourage dcprayity in any form.
"The Court was reminded upon the
argument that the Car Of Russia and
and the postonice clicial, Of the United
States have condemned this book as an
unlawful publications: that the former
has prohibited its sale within Us domin-
ions. and the latter have forbidden It's
transmission through the mails.
"Without disparlging in any degree
the respect due % these high officials
within their respective spheres ! can
only say that neither Of them has ever
been recognized in this county a. a
binding authority iu questions 1i either
law or literature. The defendants
have committed no offence against the
law. and are therefore discharged.

stating that tits alleged that the Post
master OF the House has on the roll ol

pays 500 a month to the son Of tho

on Accounts TO Investigate the allosa-
tiOnS.
In speaking To the resolution, Mr.
Enloe referred to the resolution offered
by him yesterday. and complained oI
his being deprived of the floor in a par
iiamentary. but rather unfair manner
The Speaker suggested that the gen
tlcman was ont of order in not coniinine
himself TO the resolution under CON
SideratiOn.
Mr. Enloe rctorted that sometimes il
appeared that the Speaker saw gentle
men on the Democratic side out of order
much more quickly than he did gentle
men on the Republican side.
The Speaker replied that in some in
stances the gentlemen ON the Demo
cratic side We're much .Aore clearly on
of order.

called to order for not speaking directly
OF the matter under consideration. He
resented this and declared that only tn,

THE CoNFERENCE REPORT
ON the Tariff Bill at Last Reaches the
House-ProbabIe Action To-DaN.


WAsmINGroN, September 2G.-Mr.
Mckinley, of Ohio, entered the House
of Representatives to-day with the con-
ference report on the Tariff bill under
his arm, and ne was greeted with APP
plause from the Republican side. He
submitted the report, and it was order
ed printed in the Record.
Mr.. Mckinley then gave notice that
tomorrow Immediately after the read
ing of the Journal, he would call up the
report for consideration and final dispO-
Sition.
Mr.. McMillin, of Tennessee, trusted
that the gentleman would not insist
upon that. The confcrccS had not
agreed upon most Of the controverted
matters until yesterday evening. Some
of them had not been agreed upon until
to-day. The members of the House had
never heard or seen the conference re-
port. 1t could not be properly studied
within the time indicated. lie hoped
that the gentleman from Ohio would
allow the report to be taken up Monday
instead of tomorrow.
Mr. Mckinley said that the bill aS it
would be printed, contained all the
changes which had been recommended
by the Conference Committee. When
ever a paragraph had been amended,
that paragraph would appear in small
capitals. As TO many of the principal
/ features Of the bill, the points of dis
agreement had been perfectly well un-
derStood for weeks, and it was perfectly
understood what the Conference Com
mittee had recommended. 1t was late
| i'm the session. Gentlemen on both sides
were anxious to get home, and he must
insist upon the consideration of the re-
port after the reading of the Journal
/ tomorrow.
Mr.. McMilin thcreupOn insisted upon
I thereading of the conference report.
The reading Of the report was not
completed when the hour OF o'clock
arrived, and the House took a recess,

A SLICK DODGE
Worked by a Circus Company to Entice
Countrymen to Their Show.

SJectQt Telegram 10 ne Register.
WASHINGTON, PA, September 90
A circus company exhibited here yester-
day and to immense crowds. Advance
agents had advertised the circus extern
sively throughout the country and ad-
ded TO this were two other attractions
calculated to bring the country people
to town.
The attractions mentioned were an an
nouncement that EX-Gov. Pattison and
Senator Dclamater We're to appear in
Joint debate at the Court House in
Washington on September -. The
other was an advertisement over the
name of General McDonohue, L. ;. A.
for 100 horses to be used in the United
States cavalry service. The advertise
ment further stated that from 5000 to
$3.50 apiece was 10 be paid for the
horses. As a result Washington was
filled with sightseers. politicians and
men with horses.
A telegram was sent TO the War De-
partment at Washington, ID. c., asking
if the advertisement for cavalry horses
was genuine. An answer was received
this evening stating emphatically that
the advertisement was not authorized
by the government and that Captain
McDonohuc was a fraud, here being no
officer in the army by that name.
As no appointment had been made by
the gubernatOrial candidates TO attend
any political meeting in this place it Is
presumed that the circus people, who
were the only ones interested in the
presence of the country people in Wash
ington on September %, had practiced
a little advertising scheme on the un-
suSpecting farmers.
