bon's men crossed the mca5 and cIambered
up the sIOping walls, only to be received on
the bayoncts u the defenders
Such desperate resistance had not been
looked for on the part Of the Union Off
GERS, but when the character Of the strug-
gle became clear, renewed orders were
passed along the line that the position
must be carried at all hazards. Again a
rush was made on all sides. Tn plucky
defenders used the butts Of their muskets
and their bayonet5, when there was not
time to load, and many of them, sparing
their ammunition or being short of it,
caught up scopes and brickbats and hurled
them from the parapet upon the daring
fellows who fOundered in the moat or
were climbing by hook or crook up the
walls. In some cases the backs and shout
ders Of the Union men were used As seal
ing ladders by their agile comrades.
At II o'clock the struggle was at its
height and was carried on at arms length,
but so far on the exterior crests of the
walls only. About that time some of Glib
bOn's men made a discovery that showed
the one weak spot in the forlorn citadel. 1t
seems that when the line at hat point was
originally built, Forts Gregg and Whit
worth were intended to be connected by a
trench and 5reastwork sheltered by a pal

Gregg end and about thirty feet of trench
had been made, the dirt thrown out form
ing an embanknlent as high as the walls of
Fort Gregg and connecting with them. In
attempting to surround the fort the assail-
ants Mounted this strip of eLl bankment
and very soon found it d means Of getting
upon the coveted parapet without first
descending into the deep moat beneath it.
Rushing upon this point they over
whelmed the handful who manned that
corner Of the work. Many of the deter
mined garrison were already down, but
the survivors only redoubIed their vigOr
and fought with any weapons available.
AT length the paraPet was lined along the
top with bluecoats busily occupied in
shooting down Oh the men in gray who
stood on the low platforms inside. So
desperately did the garrison defend their
| ground that the parapet was covered with
Union dead. at one time six Union flags
were floating OF the walls, while the Con
federates fought around tleir own stars
and bars in the interior Of the work.
But there had to be an end TO it. Glib
bon's men sWarmed so thickly that the
Confederates couldn't turn from one to an
other Of them quickly enough TO do their
deadly work, and were at last OyerpOWered.
Yet, though forced to abandon their ban
quettes at the base OF the parapet, they fel!
back fighting, and n scattered gTOupS, or
the open parade Of the fort, struggling
against fate. At the last moment, when
the Union men in number were Ieaping
down inside from all directions and max
ing prisoners Of their opponents by sheer
physical strength, one Of Lanes North
C~@rolinians, a boy named Atkinson, seized
the colors under which he and his com

radcs had fought so iercely, dashed past
the swarm of assailants on the parapet,
and, with the flag floating defiantly, ran at
the top of his speed back to the Confederate
main line, where he was received with wild
cheers. Scores of bullets had been aimed
at him as he flew across the open plain, SOC
yards, within range of hundreds Of Union
mUskets.
There was no formal surrender, Glib
bOn's men crowded in on all sides and the
C0nfederates resisted to the last. The
fighting did not end when the assailants
got inside, for, despite the efforts of their
officers, some Of the enraged men eXacted
the v~ictOr's privilege Of vengeance upon
the unfOrtunates who had made such a
hopeless yet bloody defense.
The dead CCnfederates numbered 81; the
uuwOunGed prisoners were only 30. The
abIed. The artilIerymen had suffered ter
ribly, being the most exposed OF the top OF
the wall. Nearly all of them had died at
their guns. The men of Chew's Maryland
battery were volunteers in the fight, thei1
term of service having expired some days
previously. Unlike the soldiers Of Tia
states in rebellion, the Marylanders weGr
not held to Confederate service for thN
whole period of the war.

With the fifth charge on the front a line
of assailants swung around in rear OF the

On the front the attack was carried as far
as the moat. Over an hour had passed
since the first assault and the artillery in
Gregg used all it's ammunition and had
lost heavily. The surviving gunners took
up small arms and joined the infan-

Corruption Funds Harvested for State
and National Elections.

The whole rotten system of banking
that has resulted, in Philadelphia, in
the crushing and humiliating exposures
of the past two weeks, that discloses
such appalling losses of State and city
funds. that has produced such general
depression and monetary stringency-
it was all based upon ring politics,
dirty, unscrupulous, debauching poll
tics. 1t was that kind of politics which
placed 100000 into the hands of
Matthew S. Quay to take into New
York State to corrupt voters it was
that kind Of politics that m de George
Wallace Delamater a Gubernatorial
candidate; it was that kind of politics
that made Boyer State Treasurer and
McCamant Auditor General; that
made Bardsley City Treasurer, even
though far beyond the circle of his in
Inmates it was known that his financial
standing was rotten.
The ring politics of Philadelphia has
foisted upon the people unworthy and
unfit candidates upon the promises
they made to the political banks, prom
ises that they made without con-
science, and that they we'll remembered
when they took, without hesitation,
the perjured oath of Office. And upon
the promises thus made these political
banks took from the honest depositors
money to provide corruption funds to
be used, in violation of all law and of
all morality, in debauching voters, and
in corrupting election officials to steal
ballots, falsify returns and make up
fraudulent majorities. - PottsviNe

Heed the Warning.

1t is not infrequently the case that
itching pimples and irritation scat
boils" are the forerunners of larger
boils, or the more serious carbuncles.
Invariably Nature puts out her danger
signals, and they should be needed at
once. The pimples and little boils
show that the blood is not in a good
condition and nature is trying to re
lieve the system. A few doses of
Swift's Specific at this juncture will
accomplish wonders. The eruption
will be healed and the system cleansed
OF its impurities. The modern para
phrase of the old saying, IA stitch in
time" etc, "Timely stitches will save
nine pairs Of breeches." The modern
form has touch of humor that does
not modify the truth of it. In that vein
we may say that a course of Swift's
Specific prevents ills terrific.

Quay Against Harrison.

Ex-senator Rutan, while at the Lo.
chiel Hotel, Harrisburg, last Thursday
night, said that in a recent interview
with Quay at Beaver on the Republi-
can Presidential possibilities, the latter
declared himself stoutly opposed to
the denomination Of Harrison and
warmly in favor Of the selection of
Blaine. AS his second choice he
named General Alger Of Michigan.
Colonel Quay also expressed his pur-
pose to secure Blaine delegation
from Pennsylvania and spoke as if
he were fully convinced that his object
could be accomplished.
Senator Rutan suggested that Blaine
would not and could not accept on ac-
count of his impaired health. Quay
replied that the National Republican
Convention would meet, nominate
Blaine and adjourn without giving the
latter an opportunity to accept or de.
cline the honor. Quay put much
stress on the fact that candidates for
President are not directly voted for,
but are chosen by electors. If ma
jority of the electoral college were in
the interest of the Republican party
they would vote for Blaine, and he
would be compelled to accept the
Presidency.
In the interview Quay said Harrison
was one of the brainiest men in the
country, and while he had thorough
knowledge of practical politics he
would not put it into execution.
The President was described as being
as cold as an icycle, and was charged
with treating his Cabinet like so many
clerks and not permitting the members
to express an opinion on any great
public matter until he had given his
sanction to it.
Senator Rutan declared that there
would be big fight for the contest of
the Allegheny county delegation be-
tween Quay and Magee, although both
preferred Blaine's nomination to that
of Harrison. Magee and Flynn would
undoubtedly represent their districts
in the National Convention. A lively
contest was predicted between Quay
and Congressman Dalzell for the
United States Senatorship two years
hence. There was no doubt that Quay
would have the support of good ma
jority of the Republican members of
the Legislature, but Dalzell's men
would never go to Quay and a CON-
promise candidate would have to be
adopted, unless the Democrats turned
in for Quay.

Dr. Waller Insists That He is Superinton-
dent of Public instruction.
HARRISBuRG. MAY I'll.

HARRISBURG, May 81.
DIR. Waller who claims to be Super
intendent of Public Instruction not
withstanding Z. X Snyder, principal
of the Indiana Normal School, has a
commission issued to him, has made
full preparation to contest the right of
the Governors appointee to assume
the duties of the position. Mr. Sny-
der is expected to make demand for
the place tomorrow, and Mr.. Waller
will refuse to surrender it on the ground
that he cannot be superseded until the
expiration of his term of four years.
Dr. Waller will likely be represented
by Ex-Attorney General Kirkpatrick
and Ex-Secretary Of the Common
wealth Stone.
DR.. Waller says tonight that he
would not give up his Office so long as
the courts didn't decide against him
w. H. Martin, factory Inspector, will
also refuse to yield his position to Rob-
ert Watchorn, who will formally make
demand for it tomorrow, armed
with commission from the Governor.
Martin has engaged Ex-Attorney Gen
eral Kirkpatrick as his counsel.
His case is not near as strong as
that of DR.. Walters, the term Of the
latter being fixed for four years by the
Constitution.

The End Of the World.

Lieutenant Totten, of Yale Uni
versity, has employed part of his valu-
able time in making calculations by
which he has fixed the date when the
millennium will begin. According 20
his figures this interesting period will
come on in 1899, he basing his calcu-
lation on passage in one Of the books
of Esdras, which says: The world
hath lost its youth and the times be-
gin to wax o d. For the world is di-
vided into twelve parts, and ten parts
of it are gone already, and half Of a
tenth part"
If this can be taken as good author
ity on the subject only small frac-
tion Of the allotted time remained in
the days of Esdras, and according to
the Lieutenants computation the year
1899 will bring that remainder to a
conclusion. In the same book there
is statement that 5000 years, 3
months and IL days is the fifty-three.
sixtieths Of the worlds life time, which
would make 5000 years the full extent
of the worlds duration. In the Jew
ish calender the present year is the
s65Ist year, and the year 1899 there
fore corresponds with the Jewish year
5000, when, according to the doctrine
of Esdras, terrestrial existence is to be
wound up.
Predictions that the world was COM
ing to an end, with dates specifically
assigned for the catastrophe, have
been made so frequently in past ages.
without the predictions being verified,
that it is wonderful that any one should
continue to indulge in such prophecies
The Millerites had the thing down
very fine, but the old world failed to
comply with the arrangements they
had made for bringing it to an end. 1t
is cheap way of gaining notoriety,
and while the world continues to wag
there will continue to be prophets who
will periodically forecast the time Of
its extinction. -Er.
