The survivors of the First Iowa volunteer
cavalry have had gold medal struck, which
is to be presented to a confederate officer
Lieut.. j. w. Graves of Company A, Third
Missouri cavalry for saving the lives Of
seventeen union soldiers who were in his care
as prisoners. Capt H. S. Hiberling gives

Sept. Is. 1864, Lieut.. J. W. Graves of
Company A. Third Missouri cavalry, with
forty ooufederates, while escorting under
flag of truce, Capt. j. 7. Foster
and sixteen men OF the First
Iowa cavalry was surrounded by
detachments Of Todd's. Anderson's
and Quantrelrs guerrillas in a
lonely spot about twenty miles from Lex
ington, Mo. The guerrillas numbered
notorious and mercIess Jesse James
and Col. Younger. Having halted both
detaohments marching under the flag
manded Of Lieut.. Graves that he
Immediately surrender to them the federal
soldiers. This, he felt, would be to hand
them over to be massacred, and with an
honor and valor that were chivalric he de-
family declined to do so. Riding in front of
bis men and addressing the guerrilla leaders.
Lieut.. Graves said that the men they asked
20 be surrendered were in his charge
and that Il a shot was fired or an ATTEMPT
made to injure them, he and his men would
die in defense Of their trust and the federal
soldiers This courageous declaration
uuailed the guerrillas and they sullenly de-
parted without being able to crafty their
brutal taste for murder and blood.

OF the Sundry Civil Bill.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-In the House TO-
day the third party, as represented by Mr..
Watson of Georgia, attempted to secure
consideration Of the resolution requesting
the ways and means cour>Aittee to report
the sub-treasury bill, and once more a de-
mand for the regular order operated as an
objection. After call Of the committees
for reports the House went into committee

the chair. on the sundry civil bill.
After several amendments had been res
jected with little debate Mr.. Dickerson OF
Kentucky moved to strike out the appro.
priation Of $3.50 900 to enable the Secretary
of War to complete the establishment of the
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National
park. This was also lost, Messrs. DECKER
son and Compton being the only members
who had anything to say in its favor while
it was vigorously opposed by Messrs.

Tennessee and McKaig of Nebraska The
vote stood 30 to So.

amendment was adopted. appropriatiug

ton of pedestal for a statue of the late

At the conclusion of long debate upon
the point of order the chair MIR. Herbert)
said that he would like to override the point
of order il he could see his way clear to do
80. But he could find no law authorizing
the appropriation and was constrained to
sustain the point and rule out the clause.

nous consent to reinsert the clause, but Mr.
Kilgore objected.
MIR. Henderson then gave notice that ne
would call the matter up in the House to-
morrow in the shape OF a separate bill aud
ask unanimous consent for its consideration.
Pending further action the committee
rose.
Mr.. Herbert, from the committee on
naval affairs. reported back the naval ap-
preparation bill with the Senate amend

INSANITYLEDTO MURDER
SENSATIONAL SEQUEL TO TIE
KILLING OF ENGLAND.

Mrs. O'Neill to be Tried on a Writ OF
Lunacy To-day and Her Husband
Showing Signs OF Men tai Alteration.
The Dead Man Caught Kissing Mrs.
O'Neill by Her Daughter.
ATLANTA, GA, May 2O.-The killing Of
Joe England by Tom O'Neill on Wednes-
day last has developed remarkable sensa-
ton. When taken charge OF by the police
O'Neill said he had shot England on account
of his conduct toward his wife. Soon after
being placed behind the bars O'Neill began
showing unmistakable signs of mental aber.
ration. To add to the peculiar crcum-
stance Of the killing Mrs. O'Neill has been
found to be Of unsound mind. aud to-mor-
row will be tried for lunacy. This state of
affairs gives rise to doubt as to the fact
of England having ever conducted
himself improperly toward Mrs. O'Neill
and suggests that her accusation might have
been the Imagination of deranged mind.
England was a boarder in the O'Neill fam
lily until Mrs O'Neill's health gave away.
Mrs O'Neiil became sick from pneumonia,
When almost well she suffered a relapse
which affected her brain, and she has since
been mentally unbalanced.
THE STORY OF HER CHILD.
The first inkimation given O'NeilI OF Eng
lands conduct was furnished by his little
girl, years old. Ike kissed mamma" she
told him one night, aud he listened,
astonished at the information. "Mmama
tried to get away and he held her,"
A neighbor says that the engineer ques-
toned his wife. She did not deny it, but
became worse during the next few days.
This morning. when interviewed by a re-
porter, Mrs. O'Nell was sitting on the
porch. A smile of childish happiness was
on her lips as she rocked herself to and fro.
In response to greeting she smiled still
more pleasantly, but the expression was a
meaningless one. The whole affair, horri-
bic in its details, seemed blank to her.
Since her husband returned from
the scene of the tragedy and
kissed her good-by, she has
had the same buoyant, happy ma nner as
before. Each day she has spent her time
either in attending to her household duties,
always singing to herself, or sitting In
rocker shaking a cup, 10 which ratified
coin. Yesterday and to-day she INDUCED
even more in her childish amusements, at
times tossing articles up and catching them,
laughing with delight as they descended.
