The Last Shot of the War.

Much inquiry has been made as to
the man who fired the first shot in the
great memorable contest between the
states. Perhaps the question has
never been answered with general sat
isfaction. But the question is now set
tied, so they say, beyond the remotest
shadow of doubt as to who fired the
last shot in that never-to- be. forgotten
war between North and South. AT
least, the claim is unquestionable and
the proof intensely interesting. Charles
H. Montgomery is the man, and the
shot was fired at the federal troops
while they were filing into the fort at
West Point, Ga, after the fort was sur
rendered by Commander James II.
Fannin to Colonel o. II. LAGRANGE,
acting brigade-general of the United
States forces. The circumstances I'M
der which the last shot of the confed-
eracy was fired are very interesting. 1t
was the last engagement of the war be-
tween regularly organized forces, and
was fought on the tenth of April, 1865.
General Lee had already surrendered
on the bloody field Of AppomattoX, but
in those days news didn't travel very
fast, and these two commands were not
aware of the surrender. Brigadier-
General Z. II. Tyler, with a gallant
little troop of confederates, held the
fort at West Point. Colonel LAGRANGE,
with about 300 Union soldiers, came
down upon the fort early in the morn
ing. The fight began. General Tyler
was himself killed, supposed to have
been shot by an Indian from DR.. Griggs'
residence. The command of the forces
then developed upon Colonel Fannin,
who had been sent there from command
of the prison at Andersonville. Amore

The New Pension Bill.

The regular annual pension appro-
priation bill as agreed upon in con-
ference and passed by congress APP
propriates S146,757 1850. This is an in
crease of 81 ,932,2S4 over the bill as it
passed the house, and is still 81 ,542,-
565 more than was appropriated by the
last congress. This increase has been
compelled by the rapid operations of
the pension bureau during the past four
months. Since March between $4,000
and 100000 names have been added to
the pension list. In July, 1891, there
were only 676, 169 names on the list,
while on the 1st of July, 1892, there were
$4,000. During the last fiscal year
there has been an increase of some
100000 names on the list.

THE MORSE FAMILY MOVED.
A Tornado Lifted Them and Their House
~ in Buekfield.
Especial to the Press.1

BUcKFIELD, July 4.-Yesterday after
noon an onimous looking cloud made its
appearance in the northeast corner of
Buckfeld near the Paris line and swept
down with a roar and noise like an APP
preaching train of cars, striking and in
stantly demolishing the large barn of A.
E. Bessey. Continuing, it struck the
farm buildings of Herman Morse, level
ing the barn, ell and ice house, and lift
ing the dwelling house, with the family
in it, and moving it 20 feet from it's foun-
dation. In the barn were mare and colt,
but both escaped into the adjoining field
without injury. None of the family
were hurt. On it's devastating course
eastward, three-fourths of mile further,
the tornado levelled the barn of Virgil
ID. Bicknell in which were seven horses.
Owing to the amount of hay over their
stalls, they were protected from the fall
ing timbers and all escaped injury. Pro-
ceeding over the hill the storm struck
the village of North Buckfeld, raising
the barn and ell of the swallow stand,
sweeping the timbers and carriages into
the river and twisting off elm trees IS
inches in diameter as if they were pipe
stems. From there, it struck the hillside
OF the Morrill, pasture, tearing large
boulders from the earth and leveling
trees, one of which struck brood mare
belonging to N. E. Morrill,, injuring her
so that she cannot stand. In this pos
ture the wind seems to have spent its
force after travelling about two miles
from a northwest to southeast course
and taking in a strip about five rods
wide. The remarkable feature of it is
that no lives were lost or persons injured
bodily. The loss will aggregate nearly
OF quite $4,000, and is especially severe on

with sick family, and he is virtually
