General Sherman's Death Causes Pro-
found Sorrow Everywhere,
New York, Feb. 14.-In this city the
news OF General Sherman's death cre-
ated feeling.pf profound sorrow. In
every grade III life the veteran soldier
was known and loved for his unselfsh
services to his country, and his personal
attributes. The expressions of public
men were, without exception, filled with
with sorrow and regret for his taking
off. Ex-senator Herman said, and he
voiced the opinion OF all: "With
the passing away Of General
Sherman we have lost the very
last great figure of the civil
war. There, is no man left
about whose personality is grouped any
of the great historical memories, or the
idealism OF the struggle for the union.
He was man whose military and civil
life were untarnished by shadow Of
doubt or suspicion, and his death is re-
gretted as severely as that Of any man
in the world.'.
Everyone was eager to add his eulogy
to others upon the character OF this
great man, with heart as simple as a
child.
AS mark of respect it will be moved
that the New York legislature attend the
funeral in body.

he loved his comrades of Ransom post.
1t is expected that the funeral ar
rangements will be to certain extent
made by Ransom post, as General Sher-
man, in his letter Of February
9, 1890, expressly desired to
be laid at rest by his old
comrades. Commander Ripley sent a
telegram to the generals son this after
noon, rendering the services Of the post,
and announcing that an escort and
guard OF honor, would be sent to New
York
At q mass meeting OF citizens this
afternoon, 9 message Of coincidence was

"Do you see that tall man standing
there?' asked the colonel of a reporter.
Notice how he brushed his hair for
ward on the sides, as some Englishmen
do. One OF these locks hides scar
which bears eloquent testimony 10 a
narrow escape from death.
Thirty years ago he was Deputy
Marshal I'm Nevada. He started out one
day 70 arrest gambler who had Killed
= man over game of cards. The gam
bier knew that the Marshal was seeking
him, but with cool effrontery walked
about the streets all day. John-that IS
the Deputy MarShal-heard that the
man he wanted was in ! well-known bar
room. He set out for the place and
carelessly walked boldly into the room.
He had not crossed the threshold when
he found himself looking into the bar
rel of a Six-shoOter.
"'Come, Hardy he said, cody, this
won't do. | come TO get you aud | want
you
"'See here, John said the gambler,
i don't want TO kill you, but | won't let
any man arrest me- Go away and let me
alone mo, / want you, said the
Marshal, quietly. Put down the six
shooter and come with me- "'Ill see
you shot first said Hardy.
81 can't help that, said the other.
Il must have you. Now you have the
drop on me, but you must come with me
or Kill me in cold blood
81 don't want 10 kill you said
Hardy.
"'Then put down your gum
"'JOhn, / won't be arrested. Don't
touch me. / don't want to shoot man
without cause
" I've got to do it, Hardy.
e See here said the gambler, turn
Ing white. If you move a foot III kill
you. But hate to bea coward. That
was fair and square last night. We
both pulled together
THE Marshal shook his head.
I'll do one thing, John Hardy
went on. IN back up to that wall.
You'll back up TO the other. I'll draw
my revolver to my hip and you can draw
yours. Then it's the best man.
''The Marshal moved backward to the
wall and Hardy did the same. Then
the Marshal drew his revolver and held
II at his side, muzzle down. All this
time Hardy had kept his weapon leveled
AZ the Marshal. Slowly his arm sank
until his weapon touched the seam Of
his trousers. Both men were perfectly
calm and immovabe-the Marshal de
-ermined looking, the gambler still
pale.
"'Now, John, said Hardy. Instant
y both weapons went up. 1t was all !
over so quickly that both men went on
The floor together. But Hardy had !
fired too soon. His ball went at an up |
ward angle and grazed the MarsharS |
temple But the Marshal had sent his |
bullet straight into Hardy's heart, and !
there was no Iced to arrest the gam
bier.
