bodies, but let their virtues be enshrined
In your hearts and in the heart of every
loyal, liberty loving man and woman in
all tins "land they made free under the
flag they rendered stainless" These are
sad memories which crowd upon us to-
day, my comrades. Imagination with
lightning-like speed flies back to the
DAYS and scenes of the great conflict; We
seem to fight the old battles over again;
we seem to hear again the booming can
non, the rattle OF musketry, the whistling
bullet and the screaming. screening,
bursting shell.
We hear again the measured tread
of the oncoming lines of grey, we
see once more the bayonet cleaning
in the southern sun, the old familiar
rebel yell falls upon our ears, the de-
mon of war is aroused, the battle be-
gins, Is fought, victory is ours, thank
God, thd flag is still there, but our
best blood crimsons the soil, and our
bravest hearts culver in death; dying
messages for loved ones at home are
sacredly contided to living comrades
and are as sacredly forwarded to the
homes in Goods country Hence
forth there are armless sleeves, man
ly forms go OH crutches, shattered
health, broken constitutions, vacant
chairs. desolate firesides, sweet faces
suddenly become sad, the light goes
out of sparkling eyes, and lovely
forms are draped in black: yes these
are sober thoughts which crowd up
on us to-day, let them come though,
they do us good, we will talk to our
children of these times, We will seek

WASHINGTON, Dec. There was
practically no change in the speakership
contest today. The list of members in
the city showed 100. A number of these
have not committed themselves yet.

knowns'' at 100. The Crisp n Mills

and express themselves encouraged. Mo.

New YORK, Dec. Word was re-
ceIved in the city Yesterday from Miss
Ray Allen. the dancer. who suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared from the Gar
den theatre about two weeks ago, sup
posedly in the company of a married man.
The young lady is now stopping at the
Auditorium hotel, in Chicago, and from
the tenor of dispatches she has sent to
this city she feels heartily sorry for her
escapade. Manager T. Henry French re-
ceived a dispatch from Miss Allen yester
day, asking him If he would take her
back. He said that he had answered
NO" because he had employed her sis
ter to take her place and she was giving
satisfaction. Miss Louise Allen, sister of
the Young woman, who appears in Hoss
and Hoss, said last night that her sister
wired her that she would arrive in the
city in the early part of this week.

PATTERSON, N. j., Dec. l.-Sam T.
Jacks Creole company played at the Poo
pies theatre last week. 1t is a sort of
female variety and minstrel performance.
Frank b. Jacoby, a German, was leader
of the orchestra. When the weeks en-
gagement was up the manager wanted
Jacoby to receipt for three weeks salary
and accept one weeks paw on account
which he refused to do. This probably
put him in a bad humor. One OF the
Creoles, Miss Mary Bohee, a buxom
young woman of dark complexion, either
natural or artificial, ended up the first act
with a dancing performance, in which she
was encored so many times that
the leader of the orchestra got
mad and played a jig, which
put Miss Bohee out. She left
the stage and the curtain was rung
down. Jacoby went down under the
stage, where he was encountered by Miss
Bohee with a club. He lodged the blow
aimed at his head and pushed her over a
trunk. She got up and belabored HIM
with a slipper she held in one hand and a
tambourine in the other, till the musician
performed the skirt dance until the
prompter's bell called time. Both were
arrested on counter charges Of assault and
battery, Justice Weiss being called out Of
bed at | a. IN. to attend to the case. Both
gave bonds for their appearance.

Incend,ary FIenas Captured.

ST. PAUL. Dec. l.-One OF the most
diabolical conspiracies ever concocted was
made public here tonight by the arrest of
WI members of the gang of iDcendiaries
who, for over a year, have made a regular
business of firing houses and stores for the
purpose of securing a percentage Of the
insurance money. The scheme was un
eartned by a member of the local deteo
tive service, who managed to get into the
confidence OF the gang and nab them IN
the very act of applying a lighted match
to a house on the corner OF Water and
Edwards streets, owned by A. NJ. Lawton.
Maurice Michael is the name of one
of the men arrested. His uncle, Mac
Michael. was also arrested as an accas
sorry. Other members OF the gang will
probably be arrested in a few hours.
Michael has confessed to the burning OF
other houses in this city and also stated
that when he lived in Chicago, under the
name of John Meyers. he made lots OF
money by the same nefarlous practice.

AKRON, o.. Dec. 1.-The novel wage
made on Thanksgiving evening at a coun
try store in Bottom, o.. between William
Noble and John Springer as to who could
outsit the other on a rail fence has ended.
The wager was accented aud the two men
were soon on the rail of a fence near the
store. All night they sat there, their
friends enc Juraging them with hot coffee,
food, and additional clothing. Toward
morning it began to rain hard. Rain
continued to fall nearly all day on Friday,
but neither of the sitters weakened, Just
before II O'Clock last night Springer, who
weighs 200 pounds. succumbed to the
strain and fell from the fence. Both men
were carried home and are now i'll from
the effects OF the exposure. Springer has
small chances OF recovering.

Calamity HowIers threatened.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The feeling
against calamity howlers" has reached a
pitch which may lead to sensational dis,
closures. The leaders in the third party
movement, upon comparing notes, find
that all Of them have received threaten
ing letters. Some of the correspondents
veil themselves bv writing without sig
natures. Others use false names. But
in not a few cases it appears that the
reckless writers have attempted no con-
cealment. These letters warn the re-
ceivers against bodily harm if they con
tinue their present course. Several 20 so
far as to hint at assassination. The evi.
dence has been obtained that one man
offered to bet $50 hat President Polk
would not be alive on Christmas. Six
prominent men in the third party seem to
have been especially marked Tor the
threats. They are President Polk, Rep
reseutative Jerry Simpson, Senator PETER,
the two V~incents. who published the
Non Conformist in Kansas, and who are
now in indianapolis, and a man named
Wilkins. The propriety of putting 0
batch of these threatening letters in the
hands of the United States authorities ii
being considered.

overrures of the knights Rejected

TOPEKA, Dec. 1.-The members of the
Kansas Federation OF Labor have re-
ceived o~vertures from the Knights of
Labor for a consolidation of the two or
ders and a settlement OF their differences
upon an agreed basis. If not accepted,
the knights threaten to issue an address
to the workingmen OF America denounc-
ing the federation and urging that it be
overthrow. The federation has declined
to yield to the demands of the knights.
and that the differences be-
tween the two orders are too great to be
overcome. President Robert Tomson of
the Kansas federation opposes the con
solidation or utilization until the knights
purge their order of the unfair men who
comprise a large share of its membership,
and OF politicians and ~demagogues who
are using the order for selfish ends.

Blew His Head on with Dynamite.

ALBUQUERQUE. N. NJ, Dec. lit is
learned here that a most deliberate case
of suicide happened near Challender
station, on the Atlantic & Pacific. A man

In Ohio the joint debate between Gov
ernor Campbell and Maj. Mckinley was
conducted. as it ought 10 have been, by gen.
tlemen. They discussed political acts and
theories, and while Governor Campbell is
not so logical speaker as Maj. Mckinley,
the facts being on his side he was able to
make statements that We're unanswerable.
The hardest blow that was struck by Gov
ernor Campbell was a certificate from the
state board of equalization that in ten years
the appraised value of farm lands in Ohio
had deprecated 800, 900, 900, and that upon
an appraisement of perhaps one-half the
actual value of land, SO that the deprecia-
ton was in fact about 500, 000, 900. He also
had and read in the same connection re-
port from the census bureau showing that
the wealth of Ohio had increased S243, Geo.

it had gone to the farmers; it had gone to
the manufacturers. while the farmers were
becoming poorer and they were becoming
richer Taking the values in 1850 with the

to have appreciated Sl60,00O 600; as it was,

Southern Candidates.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 13.-There are many
Southern candidates for appointment on the
interstate commerce commission, and South
ern senators and representatives are now
embarrassed by the conflicting claims of
their ambitious constituents. President
Harrison, however, has relieved the situa-
ton little and discouraged several candi-
dates by stating that the appointment will

see. This stateplent was made to Thomas
Scott of Montgomery, Ala, who has been
urging the claim of Henry Z. Shorter Of
Alabama The president said TO Scott:
ssYour zeal in behalf of your Democratic
friend is highly commendable, and have
no doubt he is all that he is represented to
be, but one thing is to be born in mind, Ala
bama and Georgia have about an even share
of Federal offices just now. Tennessee has
not had much lately, and do not think thA
appointment will go south of that state"
The only Tennessee candidate is S. F.
Wilson Of Gallatin, who is being pressed by
Senator Bate. There are two candidates
from Georgia, Thomas Glenn of Atlantis
and ex-Representative Clements of Rome

Killing OF Wash Hammond.

Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX, Oct. 13.-Deputy Marshal
Mckee, who went to Spanish Fort in re-
sponse to.a telegram that Wash Hammond
had been killed, returned yesterday, and
gives the following account of the affair:
On arriving there he found that the par
ties had gone to Ardmore to give up. The
killing occurred about five miles from the
Texas line in the Chickasaw Nation about 9
O'Clock Friday night. Hammond and others
came over to Texas Friday. Mrs. Campbell
and one of her boys, a youth of about 16
years named Steve, were in the crowd. EAll
were drinking pretty freely. The boy got
drunk and was being hauled in Hammond's
wagon. When near home he awoke and
began to curse and abuse Hammond.
Thereupon Hammond gave him whipping,
He went to his home near by and told Jim
Stow, dis older brother, who came down
and began to curse Hammond. This caused
Hammond to get mad and he started at
Stow with a plank when Stow shot him
three times with revolver, killing him
dead. The boys went to Ardmore at once
and their mother followed the next day.

That is What a Presbyterian
Divine Says He Was.
BUT A CHURCH PARL0R SCENE
That Made the Hair Curl on Church Com
mitteemen's Heads Who Saw It
Doesn't Spell it That way Rev. DR..
Bowers, Pastor Of the First Church,
and the Dear Lamb of His
Flock-The Parlor the Fold.
PASTOR AND LAMB.

Special to the Gazette
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 13.-Rev. DR.. E.
T. Bowers, late pastor Of the First Cumber-
land Presbyterian church at Thirteenth and
Oak streets. rushed into print this morning.
There is where Rev. Dr. z. T. Bowers made
a mistake. He has forced the committee
which investigated the charges against him
to tell what it knows. 1t is now openly
stated that Mr.. Bowers admitted he had
been criminally intimate with a member OF
his flock, and he had made the parlors OF his
church a place of designation. These ad-
missions were sufficient for the committee,
though proof was not lacking, but rumor
charges him with many immoral ofenses.
This morning DR.. Bowers, in an inter-
view in the Times, said he had been ''in-
Discreet nothing more. He claimed that
his relations with the woman in question
had simply been those a pastor should bear
toward an unhappy member of his church.
Why Dr. Bowers should begin a fight at
this late day the committee cannot say, for
ssven before he admitted in the presence of
Six men that he was guilty as charged, they
had overwhelming proof Of that fact.
This is the way it came about. When
DIR. Bowers came to Kansas City to succeed
Rev B. T. Fullerton some six months ago
it was expected he would be installed on
the Sunday following his arrival. To the
surprise of majority of the members of
himself announced that that formality had
been postponed. 1t now transpires that
there were at that time ugly rumors ahoat
concerning DR.. Bowers.
The rumorS became more serious as time
passed, and about four weeks ago COM
mittee of gentlemen from the church took
it upon themselves to watch their pastor.
They discovered that DR.. Bowers was in
the habit of paying frequent visits to a
woman whose name appears on the books
of the church as member, and who now
has suit for divorce pending in the circuit
court. These visits were almost invaria-
bly, made after nightfall, and while DIR.
Bowers remained in the house the curtains
were closely drawn. Occasionally the
preacher and this lamb would meet in the
church parlors. Things looked black and
so did the Investigators.
Last Friday DR.. Bowers went to Holden
to attend a meeting of the presbytery. He
was expected back Monday evening. The
astute committee reasoned he would meet
the woman in the church parlors on the
night OF his return. This conclusion ar
rived at, trap was set for DR.. Bowers and
Dr. Bowers promptly got into it with both
feet About 7:30 O'Clock MIR. Henry Ram
sey and others of the committee were
breathing softly and talking in whispers in
one of the little rooms of the church. DR..
Bowers and the woman were in another.
The first mentioned couple saw and heard
enough to make their hair curl. This little
double scene drama continued for an ho.r
and then the preacher and the woman left.

JOHN TW0HIG.
San Antonio Loses Ono OF Her Pioneer
Millionaire Citlzens-A Sketch of
HIS Eventful Life.
Special to the Gazette.


SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 13.-John
Twohig, pioneer citizen Of this city and a
banker whose wealth is about s., 000, 900,
died o-day, aged eighty-tive years.
Mr.. Twohig had been 4 resident of this
city since 1886. He was born in Ireland,
and when fourteen years of age ran away
from home and went to sea. He followed
the life of sailor until he reached man.
hood, visiting nearly every prominent port
in the world. When he came to this city
he was without dollar, but by steady APP
plication to business, keen Judgment and
strict honesty he soon began to accumulate
fortune in the merchandise business. His
life was one of yiciSSitudeS and hard
ships up to the time Texas secured
her independence. He was an
active participant in the memorable
events which took place in San Antonio
prior to the Mexican war and during the
period of the latter. In 1912, when Gen.
Vasquez made raid in this city Mr.. Two
hig blew up his store with powder to pre-
vent it falling into the hands of the enemy.
Although citizen of Ireland he refused to
seek protection on the ground of being
British subject. 1t was in November of the
same year that Gen. WAL crossed the Rio
Grande with an army and captured this
city, taking MIR. Twohig prisoner, together
with thirty others. He was marched to the
Mexican prison at PerOte, near the City of
Mexico. After two years confinement in
this prison he was condemned to death, but
made his escape by digging his way through
nine-foot wall before the sentence could
be carried out. He then joined party of
bandits, and with the assistance of the rob-
bers made his way back to Texas. He was
a celebrated ph,lanthropist, and there are
no less than 100 families of Mexicans in this
city VINO have depended OF his charity for
living for many years. During the drouth
of 1885 and 1856 Ne paid out every day 500
to the helpless people of San Antonio and
surrounding section. His vast estates will
go to his sister, Miss Kate Twohig, and the
Catholic church.
