At Gettysburg there were present in
sction so, 900 to 81, 900 Union troops, and
of the Confederate some 65, 900. At Wa
terloo there were $780, 900 of the Allies uuder
Wellington and Butcher, and 72, 900 French
under Napoleon; or there were about 150,-
900 at Gettysburg and 10000 at Waterloo.
In each case the weaker army made the
attack and was defeated. Lee did not
have to face snch heavy odds as NAPOLEON;
but, whereas Napoleon's defeat was g rout
in which he lost all his guns and saw his
soldiers becoming disorganized ra5bie,
Lee drew off his army in good order, his
cannon uncaptured, and the morale Of his
soldiers rnshakep. The defeated Coufed-
crates lest in killed and wounded 10, $50,
and in captured Z ,467, soma of whom we're
likewise wounded, or % 900 in all; the de-
feated French lost from %, 900 or 10000
probably nearer the latter number. The
| Confederaies thus lost in killed and wound
| ed at least 25 per cent. of their force, and
yet they preserved their artillery aud their
organization, while the French suffered an
even heavier proportional loss, and were
turned into fleeing mob.
! Comparing the victors, we fnd that the
!. forces of the Allies at Waterloo consisted
of several different kinds of troops. Wei
lington had under him $4,000 English.
Germans, and Dutch Belgiaus, while Bloch
or had $4,000 Prnssiaps.
At Gettysburg the Northerus lost II, 755
killed and wounded, and 5,435 missing; in
other words, they suffered an sctually
greater loss than the much larger army Of
Wellington and Butcher; relatively, it was
half as great again, being something like
90 per cant. in killed and wounded alone.
This gives some idea Of the comparative
obstinacy Of the fghting,- Theodore Roose
ceH in The Century.
From the above it will be observed that
whilst the Federals had the advantage o.
position and from $4,000 to 10000 more
troops than the Confederates, yet the Fed
eral loss in Killed and wounded was 2,22t
more than that of the Confederatss. The
truth is that the real victorys in that won
derful battle were the Confederates. Gen
Lee was forced to withdraw because of th;
exhaustion of his ammunition, and not be-
cause he was conquered, and in that way
the Fsderals claimed the victory, for they
held the field of battle. If they had beer
really victorious they would have pursued
aud the fact that they allowed Lee to with
draw bis army without molestation, is con-
elusive Of the fact that they were afraid te
bring on an engagement where they would
not have the advantage iu position thai
they had on the heights Of Gettysburg. The
army that Gen. Lee commanded on thai
occasion could not have been conquered or
equal ground by an equal number oftroop'
of any army that was ever marshaled. Il
was an army Of the best soldiers the worlc
has ever seen, or will probably ever see
again.

Oh preaGsGuIrs IN August was very nota-
ble. The increase for September Is more
surprising. Such drain on the grain
supply of this country cannot but have
the effect to increase prices, and to
bring In great sums of money. This
marvellous statistical story is not of
single month. 1t is is serial. For the
three mouths of July, August and Sep
tember, 1891, this country sold grain
and flour to the amount of $76, ,694, 1922.
For the corresponding three months
of 1890 the exports of grain and -four
were sos, ,654. .227, only one third as great.
There are good times ahead. The year
of 1891 is to be long remembered. Nine
months of it have gone. Down to Sept.
30 the exports of breadsuffs for 1891
reach the total OF $l45, OPS, 129.
The figures in detail are just as
significant as the grand totals. The
United States sold over 8, ,0OO, 900 bushels
of rye last month, against Just sixteen
bushels in the whole month of Septem-
Der, 1890. Barley, oats, rye, wheat and
wheat flour show great increases. Corn
and corn m"al do not. The explanation
is easy. The movement Of the corn crop
has not begun. When new corn is
added to the exports in proportionate
quantity the increase will be still
greater.

Property Was found.
BLOOMINGTON, H., Oct. 14.-Judge
Upton has rendered an important de-
cision in the matter of the estate of Cor
della F. Cooper, deceased. Mrs. Cooper,
formerly Mrs. Townsend, was for many
years resident of this city. About ten
years ago she married the Rev. DR. Ed
ward Cooper, of Cincinnati. Four years
later they moved to st. Louis. A year
ago DR.. and Mrs. Cooper left st. Louis,
going to Ohio, where Mrs. Cooper died.
On leaving st. Louis Mrs. Cooper
sent notes, bonds, ETC., of the value of
$500 to this city, and after her death
DIR. Cooper came here and had Henry
Capen, of this city, appointed admins
TRAITOR of her estate. Mrs. Cooper left
no children, and in such case the laws of
Missouri give the surviving husband
none of her personal property, while
the laws of Illinois give him all. The
heirs of Mrs. Cooper insist that the es-
tate shall be administered on in Missouri,
claiming that was her residence. Judge
Upton decided that she had abandoned
her St. Louis home permanently, and,
as the situs of her estate at the time of
her death was in Illinois, that in this
state, her estate should be administered
on and ordered the administrator to turn
the $40, 900 over to DR.. Cooper.

A DELIBERATE MURDER.
An Owen County, Kentucky, Doctor
Shoots a Neighbor.


Shoots a Neighbor.
GEORGETOWN, Oct IA fearful
tragedy took place Saturday afternoon
just over the county line, in Owen coun-
ty, the particulars of which are about as
follows:
DIR. J. l.. Massie, who has been for
several years a wealthy and reputable
physician, living at Elmville, armed
with a Winchester rifle, went to the
house of Jesse Honaker, a neighbor,
and, calling for him, was informed by
Honaker's wife that her husband had
gone to neighbors, to which he re-
piled:
Madam, you will never see your hus-
band alive again." and, tuning his
horse, rode away.
About mile from Honaker's house he
met him and his brother-in-law on the
pike coming from Monterey. Massie
stopped them, and said to Honaker:
"You have been lying about me, and
/ intend to kill you now"
Honaker said: II have said nothing
about you except what l can prove"
Honaker's brother-in-law begged the
doctor not to kill the defenseless man,
but in vain. Massie deliberately leveled
his rifle at Honaker and fired, killing
him instantly. Massie then rode away
in the direction of Frankfort and is still
at large, though officers are in pursuit.
1t is rumored that woman was the
cause of the trouble.

Lizzie Ralston against the trustees of
the estate of William Sharon was
up before Judge Hawley Monday in the
United States circuit court The action
asks for an accounting of the estate of

The amount involved is about$S, 900, 900.
The complaint sets forth that at the
time the Bank of California was forced
to closed its doors Ralston made deed
of trust to Sharon of all his property,
and that Sharon failed to return the
deed or make proper restitution.

INDIAN TROUBLE FEARED.

Serious Outbreak.

serious outbreak.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-Brigadier
General A. V. Kautz, commanding the
department of the Columbia, in his
annual report submitted to the secretary
of war, says there have been repeated
troubles between the Indians and white
settlers in the Koontanai, and unless the
Indians are provided with an agent, seri-
ous trouble will follow when the
Northern railroad begins building
through that country.
General Kautz refers to the Walla
Walla lynching, in which soldiers
'iynched the murderer Of comrade, as
an unparalleled event in "our military
service" for which there can be no pal
liation. He regrets that the civil au-
thorities have been unable to find any
one to punish.
General Kautz, who closes his duties ON
the active list soon feelingly al
ludes to the fact that he entered the
army as a private soldier forty-fve years
ago, and says his parting advice is to en-
list recruits for the army from the young,
ambitious and energetic sons of patriotic
citizens and not from the indolent and
wandering element of the country.
