In the first half of the war these armies
met with varying fortune-now good, now
ill-but in the latter half they encountered
almost unbroken success, and came to be
magnificent specimens of wars terrible

How these armies were welded, how
Unanswered, how fought, has been well
told by those highest in command-Grant,
Sherman, Mcclellan. How corps, division,
brigade and regiment were hurled against
a powerful and valiant foe, at one time
breaking his lines, striking him down and
giving defeat; at another receiving severe

But of the private soldier, the unit, the

aggregation made the regiment brigade,

been SO fully told.

Not even many weeks had the war been
in progress, when the powers that be
came to realize that the Southerners were
terribly in earnest, that putting down the
rebellion was no child's play, and that for
its accomplishment there would be needed
large number of men and vast sums of
money.
Congress convened in extra session July
4, 1851, and in his message to that body
President Lincoln recommended that four

THE MINE ACCIDENT

What Is Being Done to Get at the Im-
 pr1soned 0iners-The Prosress Made
 and Some of tne Drawkacks.Hope
 Raised by the Return of One of the
 Rescuers.
 DUNBAR, Pa., June 17.-All night long the rescuing parties remained at the mouth of the manhole at Farm Hill mine, but their efforts were fruitless. At o'clock last even ing all hope of rescuing the imprisoned miners alive was abandoned. Efforts were made to enter the burning slope through the Aahoney and Ferguson mines. It was found impossible to get near, tho men through the former owing to the formation of the slope, and in the Ferguson pit the air was 50 bad that it was impossible to travel any dis tanos. Under these conditions the most sanguine of the workers yielded, and 1t was then determined to cut of the afr and let the mine burn itself out, that the bodies might be recovered. At the first drift solid wall of brick was built acress the opening. Ma terial was wheeled down the entrance to where the men were working and an air fan was set at work supplying fresh afr to the regcuers.
 The only light was obtained from "Davy Iamps," and through the interstices of the
 wall far of to the left could be seen 8 heavy cloud of smoke occasionally pierced by flames. Back of this wall of fire lay the bodies of the workers relatives and com panions.
 At 10 o'clock this morning there was very
 little change at the mine except that the fire | was fereer, the smoke blaoker and the de-
 spair of the survivors deeper than ever be- l fore.
 DUNBAR, Pa., June 17.-Some slight hope
 was raised at noon by the return of Walter McClearY, one of the rescuing party, who re- 1 ported that far down in the slope he heard 6 mule praying, as if in great distress. This
 leads to the belief that men may yet be Iv- | ing

 Pursell-Mew she Bride Was Att

 Venice.
 LONDON, June 17.-Miss Mary Anderson was married this morning to MT. Antonio Navarro in the Roman Catholic chapel of St. Mary's, in Hampstead.
 Miss Anderson was driven from the house of her stepfather, Dr. Griffin, to the church 90 that no glimpse was caught of the bride till she left the carriage to enter the sanctu- ary.
 The ceremony was performed in as quiet and simple manner as possible. There was no choir, the only accompanying music being that of the organ. Only immediate friends of the bride and groom were present. 1 The interior of the chapel was tastefully decorated with e profusion of ferns, palme | and white flowers. On the altar twelve l candles were burning. It was not quite il o'clock when tho bridegroom accompanied by his brother, Alphonso Navarro, reached St. Mary's In handsome cab. A few mo ments later cab drove up to the chapel ir which were seated Miss Anderson's sister and her step brother. This was followed by a carriage containing Miss Anderson's owI l brother, Joseph, and his wife, the daughte of Lawrence Barrett.

AT THE UNIvRnsIrY.

Enc soPhomores Give Their Fence so
 She Freshmen-A Senior to be mar. :. F1e4 In Dattell-Great Demand for
 Observation Train Seats.
 Last evening formal presentation was made to the freshman class of the sophomore fence Promptly at 6:So Hugh Bayne of New Orleans mounted the platform as the representative of the class of '92 and gave one of the most polished and reiaed fence orations that has been heard at Yale for many year. Jehn Trumbull Robinson of Hartford received the gift in behalf of the freshman class with an eration that contained many bright hits, but it lacked the superior finish of the older class man and at times verged toward that charao- teristic so obnoxious to sophomoric dignity called freshness. But in spirit the old-time custom was followed out to the letter. Im- mediately after the orasions there was gen. eral scramble made by the late freshmen for their newly acquired possession and they in- dulged in the novel sensation of sitting on the fence until late hour in the night.
 The seniors headed by Bliss, with the class banner, made the tour of the campus last evening, marching around to all the different buildings and giving three times thrss.
 The cards are out for the wedding of 8. c. Mead 90 to Miss Fannie Boss of this city. The ceremony will take place in Battell chapel Thursday, June %. at o'clock. President Dwight will ofieiate.
 Never has there been year in the history of Yale-Harvard racing at New London when the demand has been go intense as this year for observation train seats. Early in the sea- son the New London and Northern railroad company determined to raise the prices of seats from one dollar to dollar and half in order, as they thought, to shorten tho train. The train last year was too long having twenty cars, and it was hoped that by doing this they might shorten 1t tt ! eighteen. But for some reason the centrar! ! result has been effected. The train nov ! numbers thirty-three cars, being nearly l quarter of 6 mile long, and yet the cry fo at fabulous prices.
 At the Yale university base ball meetin last evening William Howard St. John, 's1 of Hartford was elected president of the as
 sociation for the ensuing year.
 l Phelps 'S7, who has been taking a post l graduate course at the university for 8 yea l or two, will take course of study in Ger ! many next year.
 The result of the Shelf. freshman examina l tions will be announced this afternoon. l Miss Morris of New Haven is valedictoria
 of the graduating class at Vassar.
