rebel had one Of those long knives
made from q tile which the South SO
extensively paraded but so rarely used,
and the Missourian had one also, hav-
ing picked it up on the field.
The rebel challenged his enemy to q
fair open combat with the knife, in
tending to bully him, no doubt, but
the challenge was promptly accepte>s.
The two removed their coats, rolled up
their sleeves, and began. The Missis-
sippian had more skill, but his oppo-
nent more strength, and consequently
the latter could not strike his enemy,
while he received several cuts on the
head and breast. The blood began
trucking rapidly down the Unionist's
face and running into his eyes, almost
binding him. The Union man became
desperate, for he saw the secessionist
was unhurt. He made a feint; the
rebel leaned forward to arrest the
blow, but employing too much energy,
he could not recover himself at once.
The Missourian perceived his advant-
age, and knew he could not lose it..
In five seconds more it would be too
late. His enemy glared at him like a
wild beast, and was on the eve of strik-
ing again. Another feint; another
dodge on the rebels part, and then the
heavy blade of the Missourian hurtled
through the air, and fell with ire
mendous force upon the Mississippian's
neck. The blood spurted from the
throat. and the head fell over, almost
entirely severed from the body. Ghast-
ly sight-too CHASTITY even for the doer
of the deed! He tainted at the specta-
Gle, weakened by the loss of his own
blood, and was soon after butchered by
Seminole who saw him sink to the

WHEN Sherman took Savannah a
prominent citizen begged protection
for some valuable pictures and family
plates. The conqueror said all right.
Then, in burst of frank confidence,
produced by this generous response to
his fears, the citizen revealed to Cen
eral Sherman that he had buried in
his backyard large quantity of price
less Madeira of the Oldest and rarest
vintages, and estimated to be worth
over $4,000 before the war. The
General responded at once: THAT is
medicine, and confiscated to the hos
pital. What the hospital did not
need he distributed among the TROOPS.
But much fighting and marching had
produced in the boys an appetite more
vigorous than that which recognizes
the bouquet of 1915 Madeira at club or
dinner-table, and they willingly ex-
changed bottle of Madeira for a gill
of whisky.

Tomorrow the viewers appointed by

and true reasons will not be shadowed
by the silly croakings of those who are
shouting that the division is a "get

1t is no scheme, but stern neces-

reasonable man in the town who will
not admit this.
The viewers selected, very for.

The grounds upon which the division
is asked are plain, simple and indis

A BRIBER GUILTY.
HE INTERPRETED IN THE HEN
MESSY CASE.
A QUICK DECISION BY THE JURY.
The Penalty for the Crime is Two
Years in the Penitentiary-Min
lister Porter's Absence From
Rome Creates Talk.

New ORLEANS, June 8. The trial of
the jury bribers began with the case
against Bernard Glaudi charged with
attempting to bribe a tales juror in the
Hennessy assassination case. Glaudi
was convicted The jury was quickly
selected, neither side making captious
challenges.
Henry B. Atwood, the juror who was
approached said Glaudi came to him and
spoke to him about the case, and he told
Glaudi that he had been summoned as a
juror but wanted to get off.
Glaudi said to Atwood, "You can make
some money by going on the jury and
doing your duty" Glaudi told witness
there was $500 in it for him. Witness
said he did not care to make money that
way
Since the indictment of Glaudi wit
ness has seen him once. That was in
front Of Mertz's barroom on Gravier
street, the beginning of last month.
Glaudi spoke to him and asked him
about the Grand Jury, and then asked
Atwood to be lenient with him.
Against this positive testimony Glaudi
offered witnesses to his good character
and then went on the stand himself. He
admitted that he had spoken to Atwood
in the court room. Atwood spoke to him
about being excused because he could
not afford to lose his business. Glaudi
said he had seen in the papers that there
was plenty of money in the case He
said he never offered any sum Of money
to Atwood. He never offered to give At
wood $500. Atwood had told him on
Gravier street that he did not know why
Glaudi had been indicted. He spoke to
Atwood about their being money in the
case simply for the sake of talking. He
did not mean anything by it.
Atwood stopped him, he said, on
! Gravier street and shook hands with
/ him. He denied that he asked Atwood
| to be light on him.
The argument on both sides was brief
and the case was given to the jury. Three
hours afterward a erdict was rendered.
On the first ballot the jury stood six to
six Gradually the jurors who favored
acquittal yielded, and finally verdict
of guilty was rendered. The utmost pen
atty for the crime is two years in the
penitentiary.

there are six In all, will be tried to-mor-

WANTED TO DIE,
A DESPONDENT HUNGARIAN
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
BECAUSE HIS WIFE ABANDONS HIM
She Blopes and her Paramour
Pays a Penalty-The Wife Re-
fuses to Return to the
Distressed Husband.

One day last week Barbara Holman,
wife of Joseph Holman, Hungarian of
Frenchtown, near Audenried, eloped with
another Hungarian named Paul Smirko.
The husband traced the couple to this
town and had them arrested and taken be-
fore Squire Monaghan. There were
many sensational developments in the ca. g,
the wife charging, among other things,
that her husband was virtually black
mailing his countrymen by allowing them
to have intercourse with her and then COM
polling them to pay him sum Of money.
On one occasion he made bargain, the
wife said, that she should live with another
man for three months in consideration of
the payment of fifty dollars
After the hearing before Squire Mona
CHAN Holman refused to prosecute the case
further and made settlement with Smirko
upon payment of $50.
Holman then tried to induce his wife to
return to Frenchtown with him, but she
refused to do so. The husband returned
alone and the wife remained in this town.
Yesterday Holman returned here and
met his wife on Centre street. He again
tried to induce her to return to Frenchtown
with him, but she again refused, whereupon
he assaulted her.
Mrs Holman then had the husband ar
rested and taken before Squire Monaghan
While the hearing was in progress Hol-
man seemed very much agitated and
answered tho questions put to him in an
incoherent manner.
Suddenly turning around and facing
those who were listening to the case, Hol-
man drew a large dirk from his pocket,
drew the blade from the case and, muGter.
ing something about not wishing to live
any longer, he attempted to drive the
blade into his left breast, but Constable
Toomey was UG thg alert and grabbed the
desperate Hungarian's arm in time tC
thwsrt the object.
Holman was disarmed and handcuffed
but, upon pleading to be released and pro
missing not to make another attempt upoI
his life, he was released on furnishing S3OC
bail to appear before the Pottsvlle cour
and answer the charge of assault anC
battery preferred by his wife. He left fol

JUDGE M,cuRpY DEAD.
Ho Graduated with High Honors from
Yale in 1917.


Yale in 1917.
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 9.-Judge
Charles johnson McCurdy died at his
home in Lyme yesterday, aged 96. He
was descended on his mothers side from
Ursula Wolcott whose husband, father,
brother, uncle, nephew and son were all
Governors of Connecticut.
The deceased graduated with high hon
ors from Yale College in 1917, studied
law with Chief Justice Swift, was admit
ted to the bar in 1919 and went into eX-
tensive practice at Lyme.
He served in the State House of Repre-
sentatives through 10 sessions, in three
of which he was speaker of the House,
and in the Upper House three sessions,
in two of which he was Lieutenant Gov
ernor and President of the Senate.
In 1851 he represented this country at
the Court of Austria at time when the
Austrians were much irritated against
our nation on account of our reception Of
Kossuth. Mr. McCurdy's assistance to
the Scotch missionaries who were driven
out of Hungary was the subject of COM
mendation in the British Parliament.

POOR EXCUSE.

A sample of the arguments pre-
sented by the few who have been cry
ing against the division was picked up
the other evening. The croakers ap-
preached several taxpayers and at
tempted to frighten them with the
statement, "Dos you know what a
division will mean? Why it will
necessitate the election of so many
more Councilmen and School Direc-
tors v'
This silly reasoning has, of course,
failed to have the intended effect.
Suppose it means the increasing of
the Council and School Board MEM
bership from 15 to 80, what harm can
that work upon the taxpayers2 The
Councilmen and School Directors are
not paid for their services, therefore il
it necessitated the election of hun
dred Councilmen and School Directors
it would not mean any additional
burden upon the taxpayers. The
truth is this town is too large to bC
controlled by fifteen Councilmen anG
fifteen School Directors. There il
plenty work in each of the bodies fol
double the number and, as they come
cheap, why not have them?

Mail Matter in a Church.
GUTENBERG, N j., June 0.-Valentine
Samerel aged CO years, the only letter
carrier there is in this place, was arrested
at noon charged with embezzling and Sc
creting the mail.
Gutenberg is one of the three places in
which the old penny post system is re-
tanned. Samerel was entitled to cents
for every piece of mail delivered.
Complaint has been made to the post
office authorities of non-delivery of mail
matter and an inspector was sent on to
investigate. After short search he
found under the carpet of the Dutch Re
formed Church, of which Samerel is
Sunday-school superintendent and sex
ton, mass of mail matter directed to
Gutenberg residents All told there
were 700 pieces OF mail matter. Some Of
it being year old.
1t is thought Samerel allowed the
matter to accumulate because the remun.
Grafton was not always sufficient to in
duce him to tramp around and deliver
it. None of the letters found were
opened, and robbery therefore could not
have been the motive.

THE GREAT eAccARAT TRIAL
A Verdict from the Jury Looked for This
Evening.

Evening.
LONDON June 0.--The outcome Of the
baccarat trial this afternoon is subject
of wide speculation.
Lord Coleridge began his address to the
Jury at noon, and the verdict Of "the -
good men and true" will be awaited with
interest. The jurors are mostly London
tradesmen and verdict satisfactory to
the Prince of Wales would be TO the per-
sonal interest of any one of them.
Sir Edward Clarke, for the plaintiff,
created unbounded CONSERVATION among
the spectators by n straight and scathing
attack upon the Prince of Wales.
He began quietly, amid breathless ST
lence. As he went on he caused a futter
in the audience by declaring that If play
ing baccarat warranted Col. Cummings
dismissal from the army, then the Prince
of Wales was liable to similar treatment.
All eyes were bent upon the Prince to
observe how he received this remark He
did not preserve his usual imperturba-
bility. He flushed somewhat, moved un-
easily In his seat and then stared stonily
at the ceiling.
Society has received another shock over
the news that Arthur Stanley VIII
son has been elected a member of the
Marlborough Club He is the son of the
Mrs Wilson at whose residence the IA
nous baccarat game was played and he
was proposed for membership by the
Prince of Wales
