BURIED AT SHILOH.
Reappearance of am illinois Veteran Sup
posed to Have Besn Killed

Ike0Du0HrmnCe Oh hn HeteEan sup
posed to Have Been Killed.
ST. LOUIS, April "a. William Newly,
OF Mill Shoals, White county, Illinois
who was buried in trench on tho bat
tleAeld Of Shiloh on Monday, April z,
1859. has suddenly TUNED up at his old
home in White county and caused big
sensation. For thirty years the old
soldier, whose death and burial aredu.y
recorded in the war department archives
OF Washington, has been drifting from
poor house to poor house and from in.
sane asylum to insane asylum, strange
and piteous wreck. IIo is now Gafo
with his wife and children on the very
farm from which he enlisted in 1861.
Captain Gilbert J. George, OF this city,
returned from Mills Shoals this morn
ing, where, with q surviving comrade,
he positively identified Newly as tho
same man he buried and the companion
of his youth. Captain George was
brought up in White county, and was
comrade OF Newby in their boyhood
days. They enlisted together in COM
pany ID. Fortieth Illinois, and fought
side by side up TO tho battle OF Shiloh.
At that battle Newly was shot through
the head. lie fell to tho ground just
under tree that stood IN the line OF
tho regiments charge. Captain, then
orderly sergeant, George saw him fall
and marked the spot whore he lay.
Two other OF his command were with
him when he died, few min
utes later. When the burial de-
tail went on the field at night two
days after tho battle William Newby's
dead body was found where he had been
seen to fall, and with others he was
buried. Eighteen months ago poor
old vagrant was admitted to the White
county poor house. He gave his name
as William Nowby. He stated that he
had belonged to Company ID, Fortieth
Illinois during the war, and that he had
enlisted from that county. One day an
official OF tho poor house met tho
youngest SON OF William Newly and
told him OF tho strange inmate. The
son saw the man and found that he was
familiar with their home and farm.
Two brothers OF tho old veteran identi-
TIED him and he Is now at lis old home.
The injury to his head affected his
memory, and he insists that he has no
brothers and was never married.

eRAoLAucH.s POVERTY.
His Busy Life Was Not spent In Money
(aettiuQ,

Getting.
NEW YORK, April ga dispatch
from London says: Despite the fact that
he gave nearly thirty years OF his lie
to tho cause Of the down-trodden classes
of his own country, Charles Bradlaugh,
tho eminent political and social re-
former, died practically a pauper. This
fact was developed at a largely attended
conference OF prominent people who
had known him and been intimately
associated with him in his life time,
which was held today at the Cannon
Street hotel. At this conference 1t
was stated by Mr. George w. Foote,
president of the National Secular
society. and he dwelt upon the fact as
evidcncing the rigorous honesty which
tho dead man, notwithstanding his
great talents and his immense opportu-
mites, had manifested; that not only
did his estate show an excess OF liabili-
ties over assets, but that his only sur
viving daughter, a widow, and who de-
pended upon him for support, had.
shortly before his death, surrendered to
him to meet an emergency, the policy
Mono Of tho debts that were incurred
by the man who exhausted his Titanic
strength in battling for the cause OF
freedom, truth and justice, were per-
sonal. lie lived within his income, even
when crust Of bread and cheese and o
glass of ale had TO take the place OF the
more substantial viands that his physi-
cal well being demanded. Every penny
that he owed whom he died was incurred
as result Of his connection with vari.
Gus organizations for the amelioration
OF social and political evils, and for the
debts of which he had stood sponsor.
The total liabilities Of his estate are
S25, 600. Against these is library
valued at $4,000, printing plant valued
at $4,000, and publishing stock which
might ultimately bring $4,000, but
which would fetch less than
half that amount under forced
sale. The conference decided TO
start subscription lists in all the princi-
pal cities OF the country for Bradlaugh
memorial fund, and 1t was decided that
tho first $50 received shonld be de-
voted to purchasing the printing plant
for the daughter, which would afford
her a means OF sustenanco, while the
balance, IL any, should be applied to the
redemption Of certain copyrights which
are also likely to prove source OF row.
enue. Several OF the creditors OF the
deceased statesman appeared at the
meeting and voluntarily relinq uished
their claims. 1t is thought that the
movement will result in the raising OF
a much larger sum than that suggested
at the conference.

it, as the bishops will congregate
