An incident with an important bearing
upon one Of the most interesting episodes
of the closing days of the civil war hap
pened the other day at the war depart
ment. For twenty six years an IRON
chest, whose contents were unknown to
all save the different secretaries of war
and the particular officer charged with
its safe keeping, has lain in the vaults Of
the war building. The mystery sur
rounding this chest and its contents has
been at last disclosed 1t was of recent
years in the charge of Major A. Mae
Arthur; 1t is now in charge of Brigadier
General Brock, assistant adjutant gen
eral of the army.
This change ofcustodians necessitated
the opening of the chest and an examina-
ton and inventory of its contents. 1t
was brought into the ante-room of the
secretary and there unlocked and opened
in the presence of the witnesses.
After the inventory was made and re-
ceipts exchanged the double locks of the
chest were refastened, and it, with Its
contents were again placed in one of the
strong vaults of the great triple depart
ment building.
The contents of this carefully guarded
strong box were, first, large, old-fash-
Toned waterproof Of ample dimensions
such as were worn in the days when
gossamers were not known; secondly
a cashmere shawl, and thirdly, pair of
rusty spurs.
There is a story behind them, for they
are mute testimonials of the truth of the
long doubted, much-denied story that
Jefferson Davis, the fallen president Of
/ the Confederacy, was, when captured,
disguised in woman's clothes. These are
the identical garments, it is asserted,
with which he was said to be seeking to
hide his identity long enough to enable
him TO pass the Gordon of Union cavalry
which had surrounded his little camp
near Irwinville, GA, in the gray hours of
morning.
The story Of bis disguise has often
been told and as frequently denied by
those who believe that Mr.. Davis would
not resort to SO undignifed a ruse TO
avoid capture. During all these conten-
tions the existence of this chest and its
confrmatory contents has never been
made public.
The officials of the war department
would gladly be rid Of these garments.
but they are public property, and no one
is authorized to destroy them; so they
must be kept.
The waterproof is Of light gray cloth,
the lower part thickly coated with hard,
dry mud, gathered, it is said, on the
roads and in the woods of Georgia
twenty-six years ago as the fugitive
president and his party vainly sought
safety in fight. The shawl is of cash
mere, the body of dark red color, with

There has been trouble brewing be-
tween the operators aud miners along
the line Of the l.. Il. u ST. L. for some
time, which has At last eliminated IN :
general strike. The amount Of coal
taken out at these mines Is said TO be in
the larger part OF which
has been taken by the railroad company,
that which has reached the home mar
ket being simply the excess over the
roads demand. As the price OF coal had
been reduced elsewhere. the railroad de-
msnded reduction on the price former
Iy paid. and to meet this The oper ators
demanded reduction Of from 10 to 25c
per ton from the price paid the miners.
This Was refused. and shutdown ofalI
the mines except ct Chandler was the
result. The affair is : very serious one
for the men, % there u no probability Of
the operators recsding from their pur.
pose. because BY doing 90 they would be
compelled TO do business q loss.
There has been no movement started
towards an adjustment, and under the
circumstances The only thing that can be
dono IL for the men TO submit or seek
employment eIsewh here. At the prices
paid the men aud the ruinous COMPETE
tion Ia business, those owning the mines
claim they could do nothing different,
and if'their miners persist in their de-
mand the shutdown will continue until
coal can be sold q profit.
