INSPIRATION OF SONG.
Its Cheering Eject Upon Tired Soldier.
During n wearisome March.

Its Cheering Eject Upon Tired Soldiers
During wearisome March.
A veteran Of the civil war, in speak
ing Of the effect of war songs, recent
ly said;
Il have been with the column,
marching along roads which have been
muddy, when the men looked anything
but human beings as they crawled
along, splashed from head to foot with
dirt, their clothing disarranged. their
pantaloons tucked in their stockings
and their heavy brogans laden with
mud. Some strong-lunged fellow way
up at the head of the column would
strike up war song. 1t might be
Tramp. Tramp. Tramp or it might
be John Browns Body In an i'm
slant he would be joined by others.
and soon, away down the long road
as far as the column stretched. a
mighty chorus would be going up.
while the men would brace up. their
eyes brighten. and their footsteps lose
the weary movement as they kept step
TO the music. Twenty-Five thousand
on thirty thousand men stretched out
over long distance in marching, and
YOU can imagine the effect of such a
chorus of male voices. Perhaps way
off on some parallel road. a mile or
two away, another column would be
advancing, and this. too would take
up the refrain, and the effect be
heightened twofold. Those were the
days when war songs meant something
to the men who sang them. Chicago

was ready, for at another few words
we were seized, made to stand on our
feet, our arms bound securely to orr
sides, our ankles tied together and We
were dragged off. Joe's oaths we're a
caution. wish ! could print one OF
them! They you'd brighten a Bowery
bartender.
Presently we came to spot where
not tree of any kind formed the
slightest protection from the SUMS
rays, and where at a distance OF about
SIX feet apart we saw two large deep
holes.
Now what are they going to dor"
asked Joe.
| had no time to answer, for in a
minute we were dumped, feet foremost,
one into each hole. Then the beggars
began shoveling the sandy soil in on
top of us.
They're going to bury US alive"
said Joe.
1t was worse than that. That would
nave killed us too soon. They only
buried us to the necks, leaving our
heads free, but so securely fixed in the
soil that we looked like a couple OF
living heads on a magician's table.
Great God. what horribly conceived
torture was this! While we were bur
led helpless there a brute came and
with sharp knife carefully shaved a
round patch from the tops OF our
heads, then another smeared some
sticky substance thereon. Were they
going to set fire to us? Worse even
than that
DO not suppose that all this was
done in silence. BY no means. A hor-
rible, yelling, ieering, hooting crowd
surrounded us, and now they came
and threw beastliness of every descrip-
ton at us, spat in our faces and
slapped us with fiat pieces of bamboo.
'Ihls went on for a couple of hours,
and the sun was beating down upon
us with almost unbearable power.
Then the flies came in myrlads and bit
and stung us, and the stencil from the
NTH that had been thrown at us was
sitting and inconceivably sickening.
Then came a cry from Maxted, which
! quickly echoed:
I'm bursting If this don't stop
soon I'll burst,'
The rice and water we had swallowed
was swelling, and the weight of the
soil creating an enormous resistance,
our agony was intense.
Great Godl Why didn't we tell the
men to come sooner"
Then poured forth another volley
OF oaths and curses from Joe, and
the cheerlest words of encouragement
to me man could think Of
They II never obey you sir: they'll
get anxious and come"
His words were prophetic. They
were hardly out OF his mouth when we
heard the heartiest British cheer |
ever heard ring through the clearing
then volley and another from good
British rifles. and then the short
swapping OF the revolyers-and then
/ tainted.
4 week later, lying in my little
cabin on the Ticker, heard how one
OF the men, angry at not being chosen
to make the inland excursion with
me. had followed us a short distance
through the forest. He had seen the
attack and at once scampered back
to the boat. Realizing that ten men
would be OF little use against so many
Tartars, they had rowed down the
river right back TO the Ticker, reported
mycapture to Commander Napier
who had come himself with young
brigade TO my rescue, with the results
that you have already read.
Every pirate in that scoundrelly
crew was shot or cutlassed in the
attack. Not one escaped. I. l. r.

DULL DAY IN SALTWATER.
End of the Ladies' Bicycle Race
Notes About Town.

The ladies' bicycle race at the new
Athletic park closed Sunday night at 10
o'clock. The crowds were not as large
as they ought to have been the first
three nights, but the last night the audi
ence was large and enthusiastic. The
race was exciting from start to finish,
and especially so the last night when
Miss Armalndo endeav0red to regain the
lap on Miss Nelson which she gained
while Miss Armaindo was off the track
the second night. She made sew
eral spurts, but could not re-
gain the lost lap. The score at
the finish stood: Miss Nelson, 100
miles and l lap: Miss Armaindo, 100
miles; Miss Oakley. % miles and 10
laps; Miss Clifford. rs miles and 4 laps;
Miss Hunter, 40 miles and laps. Misses
Clifford and Hunter, although anna
teurS, showed very good speed while
riding. but were off the track consider
able of the time. The accident which
hefell Miss Hunter the third night,
when she took header, had a great deal
TO do with her score. Although no bones
were broken. she received painful i'll
juries. Miss Nelson was the faVorite,
and she clearly showed her ability as a
hicycliSt many times during the race.
The ladies will remain here during the
week, and will race again next Sunday.
The child recently found by Mrs.
Munroe below South Saltwater, has
been adopted by the marshal of that
village. Mrs. VIM. Munroe also wished
to adopt the infant, but it will probably
remain where it is. The mother, who
50 rudely left her babe by the road side,
has not yet been found. A thorough
investigation is being made, but it is
probable that she was from some neigh
boring city and will never be found.
The board of prison managers will
meet to-day at the prison and it is
probable that some arrangement will be
made whereby binding Irvine can be
sold in larger quantities than 500
pounds.
The dredge Mogul is deepening the
channel III the st. CrOiX river just be-
low the island. The river at that point
is very shallow, and it is almost impOs-
Slble for large steamboats, to ascend any
further than opposite the st. Paul &
Duluth depot.

Company X, of the First regiment,
will leave this morning for a ten days
camp at Lakeview. A large number of
the boys are unable to go to-day, and
will not join the company at camp
until the latter part of the week.
Farmers were not anxious for the rain
which fell yesterday, as the growing
crops have all the moisture necessary.
If the sun comes out bright to-day no
damage will have resulted.
Hon. 7. II. RahiIly, of Lake City,
was at the prison yesterday arranging
for large supply of twlne to be used

BIG DEAL ON FOOT
To Incorporate Several Railroad
and Purchase the Duluth.

To Incorporate Several Railroads
and Purchase the Duluth.
A deal is said to be in process of in
cubation between leading stockholders
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific.
Burlington, Cedar Rapids q Northern
and the bondholders of the Minneapolis
G. st. Louis contemplating the cOnsOli-
dation of the two last-named roads
with the former, thereby giving it
direct access into st. Paul. But
the transfer will not be complete
with such consolidation. The Rock
Island is determined to gain an access
into Duluth, and in view OF the TACT that
the Chicago, st. Paul d Kansas City is
also working to control line to the
Zenith City the probability of negOtia-
tionS being accelerated at an early date
is almost certain. The Burlington,
Cedar Rapids & Northern, which is at
present q feeder for the Rock Island
system, extends from Burlington to
Albert Lea. Mimi, on the main line,
and has several small feeders in North
ern Iowa. A bare majority of this stock
is controlled by the Rock Island, the
balance being in the hands of the Chi
cago, Burlington Il Quincy, which
is at present also very anxious
to gain control of the line for no other
purpose than to head off the Rock
Island. The Minneapolis q st. Louis
runs from st. Paul to Angus. To-, via
Albert Lea, so that, even in the event or
the 20" road getting hold of the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids Il Northern. the
St. Louis would still nave Rock Island
connection for Chicago at Angus. The
St. Louis has a line to WATERFOWL, S.
D., and the Cannon Falls branch taps
one of Minnesota's most fertile locali
ties.
To gain access to Duluth the Rock
Island proposes to purchase the st. Paul
& Duluth.

MURDEROUS TOUGHS.
A Gang of Chicago HoOdlums
Who Need a Rope.

W no Neeu rope.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Alex. Lund, a
clothing cutter. was robbed and then de-
liberately murdered on Milton, near
Chicago avenue, this morning. a little
past midnight, Officers Reynolds and
Reddy were patroline5 in that neighbor-
hood and noticed a group of men en-
gagged in what they took to be friendly
scuff1e. They paid no attention to the
disturbance until shot was fired, when
they both ran TO the scene. They/fOund
man lying on the sidewalk with
bullet hole over the heart. Reynolds
remained with the dying man while
Reddy gave chase to the murderers. He
fired four shots at them, but none of the
bullets took effect, while they returned
the fire each time. All but one made
their escape, and he was locked up. He
gave the name of Joseph Wright, and
ever of the affair.
Edward McCabe, an iron worker, who
was walking on Milton avenue during
the chase, received bullet wound in
the back, and is in serious condition.
1t is thought by the police that the I'M
known man was murdered by members
of well known gang of North Side
toughS, who were responsible, it is said,
for the shooting of Lieut.. Barcal, of the
East Chicago avenue precinct. The
lieutenant, when on his way home Sun
day morning, discovered two men try
ing to force an entrance into building.
He attempted to arrest them, but they
managed to escape and during the fight
one Of them shot Lieut.. Barcal in the
chest, lnfiicting serious wound.

Luther Martin committed suicide at st.
Simon's island, near Brunswick, Satur-
day night. he was seventy-fve years
old and wealthy. In 1881 his wife COM
mitted suicide at the same point by
plunging into the ocean while insane.
Saturday was Capt. Martins birthday.
A few days ago, in speaking of its
coming, he said he had lived long
enough and would die as his wife died.
Saturday night he eluded the watch
that was kept on him, and, going to the
beach, walked into the water, fully
dressed, even to his straw hat. Other
bathers in the water who did not know
him thought lie was too modest to wear
an ordinary bathing suit. Martin walked
out to deep water and deliberately swan
out to sea. Nothing has been heard of
him since. He was a thorough sailor,
and doubtless counted on the ebb tide
carrying his body out to sea.
