The Bismarck Bridge all Right.


Fridays; Minneapolis Journal print.
ed the following from it's Bismarck cor
respondent:
The fact that the pier on the east end
of the Northern Pacific bridge at Bis
marck has moved considerably within
the past year will necessitate the trans
fer by boat of trains during the summer
months. as the east span, it is reported,
will be taken down in order to make the
necessary repairs. It is estimated that
It will take the entire summer to COM
plete the work.
To an Alert reporter who called his
attention to the item, Superintendent
McCabe said: "There ls no truth in the
report. The bridge is as safe as it ever
was. 1t has not moved sixteenth Of an
inch in the last year and half. The
only work the Northern Pacific will do
on the bridge this year is to continue the
filling in of the 1900 foot trestle at the
west end and We will have two steam
shovels at work on that. II the bridge
was unsafe or needed repairs, the rail-
road officials would know it as soon as
any one else and would be more interest
ed than the public in making them. 1t
is true that the Northern Pacific will
take some kinks out OF the road. The
change at Sterling will lengthen the line
one mile instead of shortening it. The
line will be run to the south. leaving
Sterling mile and half north. This
change will be made on account of the
heavy grade at Sterling"

Death OF II. NJ. WinslOyv.

r. S. Winslow received a telegram late
Tuesday iafternoon stating that his
father, r. NJ. Winslow, died at Los Ange-
les, CAL, at 2:3O O'Clock that morning.
He had been IN failing health for three
or four years and about two years ago
went 10 Los Angeles in the hope that
the mild and healthful climate would
prove beneficial. Lately he has seemed
to be recovering and letters from Call
fornia all told of his improving condition.
He was only waiting another change for
the better to again vislt jamestown and
his old Pennsylvania home. Tumor of
the stomach was his disease. The inter
ment will be at Los Angeles, although
the remains will probably be laid in tnae
family burying ground in Pennsylvania
later on.
The deceased was 60 years old last
November. He came to jamestown in
the spring of 1878 and while in good
health was one of our most enterprsng
and public spirited citizens. \ number
of the handsomest edi6ces In the city
owe their erection to him, notably the
Winslow & Bickford block. He was a
gentleman of unlmpeachable personal
and business integrity and of spotless
character. He was consistent and ar
dent advocate If prohibition and was
conspicuously active in that movement
up to the time of his departure. He
comes of long lived family, his father
now living in Pennsylvania at the ad
vanced age Of 81. The deceased leaves a
wife and three grown up children to
mourn his loss--two sons, J. r. and r. S.
Winslow of this city, ard daughter,
Mrs. A. A. Allen of Los Angeles.

the day depended upon Porter's corps, and
The late of this corps rested with Hazlett's
battery, whose fortunes in turn were in
the hands of the Zouaves. recruited since
Gaines Mill to be 400 strong. The idea
that Jackson's corps was retreatinS was a
mistake, and Porter's men were met on
their charge by n force strongly intrenched
behind a railroad embankment. When the
charging column fell back before this OBJ
struction the Confederates followed up,
and Hazlett's battery alone was In position
to fire upon the enemy in aid of the retiring
troops. One Confederate column in par
ticular was beaten back by the shots of
Hazlett's guns.
Warren held on with his handful, deter
mined to save the battery or lose all in the
effort. In short time new enemy APP
peared, for there was another mistake
made that day in the calculations at Union
headquarters. Jackson's corps was not
alone on the field. Longstreet was at hand
with $1,000 fresh troops, and while he was
advancing eastward on the south side of
the pike Jackson was retiring westward on
the north of it to get in line with him.

would be washed away by the swollen

strange weird looking blue light dancing
up and down in front of the train. don't

stop. The engineer, brakeman and | then
set out to discover the cause of the light,
but it had entirely disappeared and not a
trace Of it was left. We went down the
track rs far as the bridge, and found that
it had been completely washed away by
the stream, which was swollen, only a few
timbers remaining to bear evidence that n
bridge had once SPAWNED the stream. We
were kept there for over two days, until
another bridge could be built, and, al
though the other trainmen laugh at me
for it, earnestly believe that that spectral
blue light was placed by n divine Provi-

CLOSING RANKS UNDER 2. BE.

Two months later, at the battle called
second Bull Run, or Groveton, Aug. 30,
1862. the Zouaves were brought into action
under conditions still more trying than
those at Gaines Mill. The battle at Grove
ton was apparently favorable to the Union
army until nearly 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
About that hour the Union commander,
Gen. Pope, ordered an advance of his whole
force on line at right angles with the
Warrenton pike aud north Of it. Stonewall
Jackson's Confederate corps, after good
pounding received on the Goth, was retiring
westward somewhat hastily, and it was
supposed by Pope that Jackson was alone
and could be routed by a sharp attack on
his right fihhk near the pike. Fitz John Por-
ter's corps was given this task and formed
the left wing of Pope's army. Two div1-
sions Of Porter's lay north OF the pike and
one HeynoldsD south of It. At the time
the attack commenced Reynolds division
was ordered elsewhere, leaving Porters
left flank unprotected. The extreme point
OF this flank was held by Hazlett's battery,
Fifth United States artillery. Haz&ett had
taken position on hill in order to throw
shot In advance Of Porter's infantry into
the woods occupied by Jackson's men.
The next troops north Of Hazletts bat
terry were Sykes regulars and Warren's
deni. brigade of volunteers, the latter form
ing reserve to Sykes division. When
Warren saw Reynolds division moving off
aud leaving Porter's flank exposed he re-
solved to cover the space with his little
force, aQgregating Just 900 men. Six COM
panies of the Tenth New York were de-
ployed as skirmishers, with four companies
