NEVADA. NO., Dec. 22.-George Maddox,
a former police officer of Nevada, who
served with Quantrell during the war, has
this 90 say Of the soldier life of Stephen B.
Elkins, who, he has no doubt, is the
Stephen B. Elkins recently appointed
Secretary Of War:
1T was In jackson county, in June, 1869,
that Stephen B. EIkins and his brother
Jim were in our command. They came
across from the other side Of the river, from
Clay or Platte county, with Gordon, and
remained with us until the following win
ter. They were not sworn into Quantrells
command, but had been sworn into the
service Of the confederate states. They
were. however, under Quantrell's command
and were subject to his orders all the time
that they remained on our side Of the river.
''Steve was with US at Sibiey and partici-
pated in several fights that we had during
the summer. l do not now recall how many
fights he was In with us, but several. He
was dark>complexioned fellow, about 81
or % years old. So far as I ever saw or
heard he conducted himself in battle like a
soldier should, and you know Quantrells
men all fought to the death. They ex-
peoted no quarter and gave none. The
black flag floated in every battle where
Qnantrell commanded.
"Steve Elkins left our command In the
fall or winter Of 1852 and went back over
the river. / never saw him again, but we
heard afterward that he had Joined the
yankee militia. OF course, we wore all
anxious to see him after that Had we ever
run across him some other man would now
be holding down chair In Harrison's cabi-
net as Secretary Of War. My understand
ing was that after he left us he went to Lib
erty, In Clay county, and joined company
Of militia there. His brother Jim went on
south with us, and joiued the regular con-
federate service.
mo, could not swear that Secretary of
War Stephen b. Elkins is the same Stephen
d. Elkins that rode with under the black
flag on that June morning in 1862, but l
rather think the two are Identical
Speaking OF his own connection with
Quantrell, Maddox said:
II joined Quantrell at Blue Springs in
June, 1861, aud fought with him ali the time
from then until he went TO Kentucky, where
he was killed"
Maddox carries on his body the scars of
thirteen wounds received while fighting
under Quantrell

SCRANTON. Dec. 16.-Elias Shaw OF
Racket Greek caught doe fawn on North
mountain early In the summer. He took
her home, made a pet of her, and named
her Fannie. Mrs. Shaw's massiff, Teaser,
took a great fancy 20 the fawn from the
start. lie soon became very much attached
to her and she to him. BY the middle of
the summer Teaser and Fannie were In
sepsrable companions. The dog looked
after the fawn with great care, protected
her from other dogs, and appeared to be
jealous whenever any one fondled her. They
roamed over the farm together, and the dog
wouldn't allow Fannie TO get out OF his
sight. By her actions the fawn showed
that she was pleased with the dogs atten-
tions, and she frequently licked him on the
head and capered with him In the yard.
Along In thu fail the fawn got In the notion
of wandering away to the woods. The dog
coaxed her back number of times, seem-
ing to fear that something would happen to
her If size went far from the farm buildings.
After while Fannie got so that she didn't
like to be restrained OF her freedom by the
dog. She was determined TO go to the
woods, aod when Teaser found that he
couldn't coax her any moro he headed her
Off and drove her back to the house every
time she started foT the forest.
One afternoon last week Mr. Shaw missed
che fawn and dog for several hours. He was
about TO send the boys in search of them
when Teaser returned to the house without
Fannie. His face was covered with blood,
and he whined and made great fuss.

asked him. The dog uttered several mourh-

COMMENCEMENTs CLOSE.
North Danviliians Sign "A Petition for a Pro-
hfbition Election.

DASvrLLE. Va. June Especial. THE
commencement week, which has been an un-
usually gay and enjoyable one, closed tonight
with the commencement exercises of the Dan
vile Military Institute and of the Danylle
white public schools. The exercises Of the
Danvile Military Institute took place at the
Academy of Music. and consisted of the
awarding of distinctions. diplomas. &C.. and
an address before the cadets by Mr.. A. j.
Montague. one of the brilliant young lawyers
of this city.
The public school exercises in the Taber-
nacle were unusually interesting, consisting of
music, reading of essays, awarding distinctions,
etc. The address was delivered by Rev. T..
h. Thames, pastor OF the First Baptist
church. There were eight graduates from
this, the crack high school Of Virginia.
A petition largely signed by the people of
North DanvlIe has been laid before Judge
Aiken. Of the Hastings Court, praying him to
order an election in North Danville on the
question of prohibition. The Judge will render
his decision next week. North Danville seems
10 be in an awkward position so far as the
prohibition in concerned. The town is under
the authority of the Hastings Court of this
CITY, but the working Of the local option law
is such that il is doubtful if the judge of that
court can order an election.
