our Old Soldiers.

It has been a. little over quarter
Of century since the South laid
down arms and its soldier boys re-
turned to their homes to begin anew
the peaceful avocations of life where
they left off four years before.
4 large proportion Of these gallant
Southern sons went back TO the farm
emily to And ii devasted,. themselves
broken down in spirit and health, but,
nothing daunted, they began their
new career, and the world has never
Witnessed more loyal or more sue
eessfnl people. From the ruins OF
the South an empire has sprung up
that challenges the respect and admi-
ration Of the world. The old farm is
made 10 bloom LIE the rose. Mines
of mineral wealth have been opened
and great iron furnaces are dotting
the country over fronA the Virg1nias
DO AAe western border of Alabama,
and school houses colleges and
churches are being erected on the
fields that once were aBlaze with the
fire Of conbending armies, and from
the Potomac to the Rio, 6rande all is
peace and happiness.
It was years after the close of hos
tilities before, the sx-Confederates
conceived the idea ofreunion, but as
the country prospered and age came
on, apace the desire to meet and mix
again and talk over old times began
TO take hold and here and there Com
panies began to hold annual meetings,
then Regiments, Brigades, Divisions,
Corps and. finally, Armies
There are few of these veterans
that have not yielded their physical
vigor to the weight of years. The
eve that once flashed fire has grown
dim, and the firm step is beginning
DO fall. They are not the boys Of
thirty years ago.

his pocket and rushed toward his father
in-law The next moment he had plunged
the awl into Lalon's left breast. The

A Drunken Negro Accused of it by His
Wife's Mother.

Special to the jersey Citu News.
CAMDEN, N. J., July IL, 1890. .--Rebecca
Dunn, colored, residing at Tioga and Van
Hook streets in this city, had warrant
sworn out for the arrest of her husband

badly bruised about the face and received
several ugly cuts on her head. She stated
to Justice Chester, that her husband had
beat her because she tried to keep him
home the night before as he was intox-
icated. Dunn is now in jail in this city.
His reputation is tat of tough.
His mother-in-law, Mrs. Durham,
swears in her statement made before JUS
tice Chester that Dunn murdered q
young colored man whom he had enticed
from Swedesboro, N. j., to Philadelphia.
The young man was found lifeless in a
toilet room of q down town resort with
his throat cut in horrible manner The
Philadelphia Police although notified OF
Dunn's crime by Mrs. Durham, never
took any action in the matter
Mrs. Durham further swears that
Dunn worked for Chalkley Leconey, who
was recently tried and acquitted OF the
charge of numbering Annie Leconey. IL
seems Dunn came home one night and
complained of the meagre pay he had re-
ceiyed for his services ut the Leconey
farm and made the threat that he would
get the balance, which he thought
Chalkley Leconey owed him, if he
had to resort to foul means. He
made this assertion about week

Mrs. Durham did not see Dunn till the
Sunday night previous to the perpetra-
ton of the horrible deed. He was at
home for a few minutes and then disap-
peared. He was not seen by her again

had on different suit of clothes from
those he had when he disappeared so
suddenly. and was accompanied by two
strange, colored men. He did not enter
his home, but stood on the opposite side
Of the street and called out to Mrs. Dur
ham:-"Pve got the money: I've got the
money, all what's been paid to them
what's to hold their tongues"
He had Iold the Durham woman that
if he committed a murder he would never
wear any of the bloody clothes but would
leave them where they would throw sus-
picion upon Chalkey Leconey, against
whom he manifested extreme hatred !.
Dunn has served O number of terms in
prison, is an inveterate thief and has been
out Of prison but few weeks.
Chalkley Leconey. when seen today at
his farm, denied that Dunn had ever
worked for him, and he does not attach
much Importance to Mrs. Durham's
statement Mrs. Dunn, the maltreated
wife, was seen today, but tried to shield
her husband, and made the assertion that
her mother is not well balanced in her
mind. and no credence should be placed
in her stories, and that she has O grudge
against Dunn Mrs. Dunn says her hus-
band is a drunkard, and has treated her
badly, but she does not believe him
guilty of murder.

THE PREF0NTAL BRAIN.

Modern Scientists Think 1t the Seat of
Intellect.
Modern Psychologists regard the pre-
frontal part of the brain as the seat of
character and intellect After the re-
moval of this part in dogs and monkeys,
no paralysis of sny muscles or loss of SEN
sibility occurs, but singular changes in the
behavior, emotions and character of the
animals nave been observed. They be-
come ltveiier, restl ess, impatient, irritable,
Quarrelsome and violent. Their move
lnents seem purposeless. and their atten.
tion to what is going on around them,
and their intelligence, are diminished.
These observations have been con-
firmed by similar phenomina in the case
OF human beings. The well known
"Crowbar case, /" described by the Ameri-
can physician, DR.. Harlow. is one in
point. A. young man was busy tamping
a bursting charge into a rock with a
pointed iron rod, when the charge sud
denly exploded and the rod entered his
head under the angle of the lower jaw,
came out in the frontal region, and was
found some distance off covered with
blood aud brain substance. He became
childish, wilful. tickle and restless and
suffered loss of intellectual power. Grad
uaIly, however. these symptoms disap-
peared he recovered and lived for thir-
teen years. His skull is preserved in

LIGHT ON THE SUICIDE.
Henry G. Thompson Was a Defaulter to
a Trust Estate.

Special TO the JERSEY City Neics.
MOUNT HOLLY, July II, 1s90.-It has
been discovered that Henry c. Thomp-
son, ex-solicitor of the Real Estate, Title,
Insurance and Trust Company, of Phila-
delphia, told the truth when, after shoot
ing himself, and while lying in the Jer-
sey City Hospital he said he was finan-
cially ruined and dare not face his
creditors He is in debt $4,000 to the
estate of Christian Weyman, of Beverly.
who died in 1884. after making Jacob
Wilson and Henry C. Thompson the
executors of his will. Wilson left the
entire management of the estate to
Thompson, and in 1885 he submitted his
account before the Orphans Court of
Burlington county, and he and Wilson
were made trustees for the son of the de-
ceased Joseph Weyman.
Last April Mr.. r. Sooy, counsel for
Joseph Weyman, was granted an order
by the Orphans Court citing Thompson
to make return of his accounts as trus-
tee, the young man having become of
legal age to manage his own affairs.
Thompson filed his account but neglected
to file the list Of assets in his hand as re-
qulred by law. All efforts to secure this
fist proved fruitless, and the only excuse
Mr.. Thompson made was that he wished
to be relieved as executor and trustee.
Franklin B. Lewis, Thompson's coun-
sci, does not know anything about his
clients standing, but he is inclined to be-
lieve he has lost heavily.
