more's lne pity that the brutality refer
to was perpetrated by one OF our men.
''He was young surgeon, Just out of
a medical college, and his blood was
aflame with ardor for the C0nfederacv.
When the battle was endSd l was placed
e in charge Of one of the hospital corps.
1--WE were going over the field min
istering to the dead and dying, and my
4 attention was attracted by the piteous
waits of a man close to the line of the
Federal entertainments. There was
such distresstul pathOs in his cries
that hurried to him. When got close
enough to distinguish his words l heard
him plead: For Gods sake, doctor,
Kill me! Don't cut my legs off and leave
me cripple
"At glance saw what was going
on. The pleading man was a Union
soldier with only slight flesh wound
in the thigh of the right leg, which dis
abed him temporarily only. His tor
mentor was the enthusiastic young
surgeon who had just joined our COM
mand.

ately bound the poor devil to log. and
was leisurely preparing to saw off his
left leg for 10 other reason in the world
| than that he wanted to disable the SOL

'He had stripped the mans leg bare
to the thigh, tied a string tightly around
it several inches above the knee and
had marked off with the point of his
knife streak around the leg where he
intended to make the amputation. My
| duty was plain.
| ''At first | thought to shoot the inhu-
! man monster down in his tracks, but
realized that his punishment would be
sufficiently severe when John Morgan
and Basil Duke learned Of his offense,
so placed him under arrest, marched

them what had prevented him doing.

New York.

NEW YORK. Dec. delinquency and activ-
ity characterized the dealing at the STOCK
exchange today. Not in months have the
brokers been so we'll provided with orders as
they were at today's short session. In fact.
it was an old time bull speculation. At the
opening Western Union and Distilling and
Cattle Feeding forged to the front and bound
ed up ~ per cent at time. subsequently
the other Gould stocks sym pathlzed and
in little while Western Union rose from 93
to 81, Manhattan from 1888 10 1a7, Missouri
Pacific from 571s to SO. Texas Pacific from
95s to 10I2 and Wabash pre- TERED from 24l2 TO
2554 The street insists that negotiations are
being conducted by j. Pierpont Morgan for
the Vanderbilts on one side and the Gouids
on the other, whereby the former party will
secure a larger representation i'll the Western
Union and Manhattan directory. Brokers
usually identified with the Metropolitan
Traction people were liberal buyers of Man
haitian on the way I'D.
Distilling and Cattle Feeding and National
Cordage were the features OF the industrial
group. Disabling has been heavily sold re-
Gently by New York and Chicago traders
with bearish procliyities, and the outstanding
short interest in the stock is said to he
enormous In the first transactions Distill-
ing and Cattle Feeding jumped 70 70es, but
the advance was too rapid to hold and re-
cession to 691s took place. At the close there
was rally to 1883. 1t is understood that the
directors will put up the dividend rate at
their meeting next week. Some enthusiasts
were bidding IA per cent for it now. Cord
age common rose to 142. The directors will
meet shortly to fix upon the details for the
stock divided of 100 percent. National

DOUBLE SUICIDE.
\ Young Man and woman Found Dcnh in

Young Man and Woman Found Dealt in
Bed mt Flushing.
Special Dispatch to he InttlliJtncct.
FLUSHING, Ono, Dec. Sion Tuesday
evening oi this week there arrived in
this place young couple, both stran-
ers to everybody about tho New Flush
ing Hotel, where they registered assJ.
G. Coventry-and vile, OF Tippecanoe.
They were assigned to room and little
was seen Of them that night or all day
yesterday. There was nothing in their
actions to excite suspicion. The woman
was apparently about eighteen years OF
ago and the man perhaps twenty.si:1.
This morning they failed TO put in an
appearance at breakfast and an inyesti-
CATION revealed the fact that they had
committed suicide. The woman was
lying'on the bed dead and the man lay
dying at her side, while Two empty
morphine bottles told the story OF tho
means they. had taken to ond their ex-
Sisteucc. Coventry was beyond human
aid and died at II 80 this morning. No
cause for the rash act is known, aud the
only clue to their identity was 4 note
signed by the man directing that Luther
Coventry, OF Tippecanoe, should be in
formed OF their fate.

CAIRO, Dec. 3l.-Eatheri Ohrwalder,
who recently escaped from Omdurman,
is, strongly in favor Of Hreconyenins the
Soudan. In an interview to-day he de-
clarcd that Mahdism has been expiring
ever since the death OF the so-called
A1ahdi, the .latter's followers realizing
that he was not the true ATahdi, and
that his successor, SIahdi khaliiia, pre-
tended to be n believer because he had
been nominated TO power. Mahdi
khalifa, who is now iorty-thrco years
old, is losing his energy. He leads a
luxurious life. possessing n harem of
sl50inmatcs. He has abandoned all de-
signs to extend his power northward.
Ohrwalder attributes the failure OF the
Afuhdi's. operations beyond Dongola
solely to the presence OF the British in
Egypt. The Mahdi means to attack
the Italians at Bisha, first organizing
an expedition OF 1000 troops 10 take
( Kassala.
