DOUBLE MURDER AND SUICIDE.
How the Naughty Herr Gosch Ended 8
Plebeian Connection.

How the Naughty Herr Gosch Ended a
Plebeian Connection.
Siegfried Gosch was one of those IN
happy people who think they are or ought
TO be little more important than the rest
of mankind. He was native of Holstein,
and came to America some years ago to
better his fortunes. Instead of getting
better they grew worse, and when he
reached San Francisco be had very little
cash and no prospect OF employment.
There be made the acquaintance of the
Sternitzky family.
The father ana sons ran little tannery
and had no lofty notions. Neither did the
mother and daughter Marie But they
were pleased with Herr Gosch's manners,
education and appearance. They cheerfully
acknowledged his superiority both as to
blood and attainments. He was thigh and
well born" they were OF the people So
when Gosch'- money gave out and he asked
the hand Of Marie in marriage they felt as
dattered As DO those miliionaires who see
their daughters angle successfu Ily for titles
with golden hooks.
After the wedding Mrs Gosch, who was
four years her husbands senior, gave him
her dowry and ne started in TO earn liv-
ing as a peddler Of oil and soap. He made
money, but the business was too degrad
ing, and ne quit. Then his wfe's relatives
took him into the taBaery, paid him good
wages, never locked him when mis- hot
blood boiled and he went on spreeS, saw
that Marie and the two babies resulting
from the union had shelter, food and fuel
and in every WY tried TO make things
pleasant for their aristocratic connection.

At Fredericksburg, in December, 1863,
the regiment had disastrous experience
that cost a heavy dole in blood, but proved
the mettle OF the men as only disaster
can. 1t Is not so hard 10 fight on straight

was an unfortunate gap between Lane and
Archer and the Rides lay directly behind
that gap. AT the opening of the fight
Gregg ordered his men 10 stack arms and
lie down beside them. for he knew that
should the front Confederate line be driven
in by Union charge, his men, in the ex-
element, might ire upon friends. The
Union charging columns swept or over the
plain, meeting a final repulse except where
they struck the gap in Hills front line.
At this point Meade'S men dashed on
with enthusiasm unchecked, and suddenly
burst upon the Rifles, who barely had time

Men who indulge in practical jokes

exceptions to this rule was the late VIII

bring sorrow or ridicule upon the victim.
He kept within bounds, and the result is
that he has no sincerer mourners than

charlottesville, in May, 1853, the brigade

was in its place in Hills division in the col
umn led by Stonewall Jackson in his ia
nous charge upon Hooker's right flank.
1t was Hill's division that Stone8all
was about TO push to the front when he
was shot down late in the evening, May 2,
but these troops did not get into the fight
until Sunday morning, the Sd. By that
time Hooker's men were ready to receive
the Confederates, and Hills charge, at
double quick, was bloodily repulsed on the
heights of Fairview and Hazel Grove The
Rifles were on the right of the brigade,
and on meeting a countercharge by the
men of Sickles' Third corps, were nearly
swallowed up in the ranks of their foes.
The South Carolinians fell back, followed
by the Third corps men.
Gen. MCGOWAN brought his brigade to
stand after retreating seventy yards, and
was wounded while cheering his men.
Col. James NJ Perrin, of the Rifles, then
took command of the brigade and returned
the charge against the Union stronghold.
The Rifles, still on the right Of the brigade,
suffered severely. Col. Perrin was killed
and the major of the Rifles was wounded
in the second charge. This decided the
Charlottesville fight. Hooker's men fell
back to Charlottesville House and be-
yond, leaving the field to Jackson's exult-
ing troops. The South Carolina brigade
lost 46 killed and 400 wounded, and 20 Of
the killed and 81 of the wounded were
from the Rifles. The brigade had two of
its commanders wounded and a third
killed. 1t had done some of the hardest of
the very hard fighting of the battle.
In the Gettysburg campaign the Rifles
were absent from the brigade on special
service and came off light in losses. Their
next fight was the Wilderness, where on
the 5th and 9th of May they fought against
Hancock's Second corps for the possession
of the plank road. The regiment took $50
to 400 men into the fight and lost IL killed
and 81 wounded, officers among them.
