Grave Revealed In a Dream.


One OF the bloodiest battles fought
on Georgia soil during the lat, wa:
was that Of Resaca. Among the many
patriotic youths who took arms in de-
tense OF southern independence was
the eighteen-year-old son OF Mr. Jethro
Jackson, OF Griffin, Ga, and the brave
boy met his death at the battle OF
Resaca. He was dearly beloved by
his comrades and they gave him lit
tie better burial than usually falls to
the lot OF thos- who die upon the field
of battle. Witt rough boards taken
from the bridge near by they made
him a rude coffin and tendArly and
lOvi ogly placed him under the sod
1t was some time in the spring ot
1866 that Mr.. Jethro Jackson went TO
Resaca TO look for the grave OF his
son. He wished to find the remains
and take them to Griffin and inter
them in the family burying ground.
The comrades who laid young Jack
son to rest gave the father a descrip'
ton of the spot where they had buried
him, telling him about the rude pine
G, fin made from the boards taken
from the bridge After many days OF
tireless search Mr. Jackson failed to
locate his sons grave and returned to
his home in Griffin.
A few nights after his return ho
dreamed that his son came to him and
pointed out the spot where he was
buried. The dream was like vision.
He saw his son standing beside hia
bed and heard him say;
"Father, am buried under
mound, which was thrown up by the
Yankees after | was killed. You will
know the mound when you see it by
the pokeberry bushes growing upon II.
Go and take me up and carry mo
home to mother" ;"
So strong an impression did this
dream make upon Mr.. Jackson that
he returned at once 10 Resaca, taking
with him one Of the comrades who
had buried his son. The mound was
found just as described in the dream,
and the pokeberries were growing
upon it. An excavation was made
and few feet below the earth the
rough pine coffin was found and in "
were the remains of young Jackson.
He was tully identified, not only by
the coffin and the shoes, but by the
uame which was on the clothing.

A DsplorabIs Riot,
Philadelphia Times,

Philadelphia Times
The success Of the riotous strikers
in destroying property and driving off
workmen at several Of the coke plants
in Westmoreland county en- Monday
embOldened them to try conclusions
with an armed posse Of deputy sheriffs,
who were employed to protect one OF
the coke establ shments. The result
was what was to have been expected.
The deputies held their ground by
force Of arms, and dozen dead rioters,
with two or three times as many
wounded. furnish sufficient evidence
of the folly Of rioting rs g means Of
settling wage disputes.
There appears to be no doubt that
night attack was deliberately planned
by the rioters, who were armed that
telegraph and telephone wires were
cut in order to render the attack
surprise to the sheriif's officers and to
prevent their sending for reinforce.
ments; that the attack was made in
the darkness of the early morning.
and that the FIRST firing WAS done by
the strikers themselves. Under the
circumstances there was nothing for
the deputies TO do but return the fre

volleys that decimated their ranks
and drove them from the field.
The prompt action Of Governor Pat

scene of the riot and another to hold

tion, il required, will probably prevent
further bloodshed Maddened and in.
iuriaied as the rioters are. they must
see the utter folly OF further a. a'tempts
to secure their demands by force. The
entire power Of the Commonwealth
will be invoked, il necessary, to keep
the peace. Prompt as the Governor
was to act when the crisis demsnded
action, it cannot be said that he acted
hastily. lie declined to furnish troops
or arms to the sheriff until the attack
of yesterday morning convinced him
that the civil authorities had exhaust

good order.
This is one feature Of this laments-
BILE occurrence that should not be lost
sight Of by the employing coke propri
etors. The names OF the dead and
wounded Iieters show that they be-
long, without exception, to the class of
cheap foreigners imported for the ex-
press purpose of taking the place of
other workmen who demanded higher
wages in peaceable way. The dan

American society from this class of

Morewood riot to be grave. 1t 10 true

In the frat place there is not only

we're Italians, but because they vera
outlaws and snesking murderers, and
they were treated just as they would

Next, no nation could afford TO de.

could Italy afford 20 do so, with her

Every year there are more foreigners
murdered and robbed in Italy than
we're killed in New Orleans, and there
is no country in the world claiming q
place in the list of civilized nations in
which there is the same degree of inn

the improvements begun in time.
Newspapers sometimes have short
memories as we'll as their readers.
AS matter of fact Major Roberts
has more often had an overdraft
against US than balance in our fav-
or at his bank, and has not charged
us interest on our overdrafts.
3. 1t is further charged that the
appropriation was perverted reckless
ly from the specified purpose of the
law, Anyone who will compare the
expenditures as we reported them to
you last year and to the legislature
this year with the phraseology of the
law making the appropriation will
see that we varied but little from the
specifications in the law. 1t is i'm.
possible to estimate before hand to
dollar the cost Of any particular
building and where a few dollars
were left over on any specified i'm
provements, a thing which we were
not forbidden to do by the law and
which it was well understood by the
legislature would necessarily have to
be done. One considerable change
in erecting fine headquarters build
ing was made at the special request
of the National Inspector Of Soldiers
Homes, at the time when he was
considering whether the state should
receive an appropriation from the
National Government for the Home.
We secured that appropriation Of
500 a year for each soldier cared
for and we secured it for the state
treasury, not for the treasury Of the
home, making at present about
$4,000 a year and reducing to the
state just SO much the amount we
received for current expenses. Does
the official state ever object to our
securing that amount for the state
treasury?
