How the Rebel Leader Was Shot by the

How the Rebel Leader Was Shot by the
Late General Frye.
Philadelphia Telegraph.
The event which first made the name Of
the late Gen. Speed 8. Frye famous was the
killing of Brig.-Gen. Felix X. ZollIcoffer of
the confederate army, at the battle of Mill
Springs, Jan. 10. 1862. A member OF General
Fryes staff once wrote the following ae-
count of the tragedy: Itwas q gray, foggy
morning. and as the battle began about
daylight the woods were soon filled
with smoke, which. added to the
dense fog. caused much confusion
to the troops on both Sides About 8
O'Clock General Frye was sitting on
bis horse In narrow country road some
distance in advance of his troops. Suddenly
General Zollicoffer, at the head of his staff,
dashed up. He thought he was still in the
confederate limos. and supposing Frye AS
q confederate ordered him to stop the firing
on his men. as they were firing on their own
troops. ZOlllcoffer wore white rubber coat,
and Frye. believing him to be federal OFF,
GER turned to obey. AS he did so young

fired his pistol at Frye, the bullet going
through his horses neck. Frye, too. then
realized his mistake. and turning his horse
quickly, rode full tilt at Zollicofier. both
sides firing as he approached. When
within a fe feet, General Frye took DELHI
erate aim at his foe. and sent q bullet
through his breast. Zoilicoffer fell from
his horse. and died in q short time. Hear

ates routed. Frye's action was considered
one of the nerviest personal feats performed
during the war.

THE MOON AT CLOSE QUARTERS.

London Chronicle
Mr. Francois Deloncle, q French ssvant
and Deputy for the Bases Alpes, has o
marvellous project ia hand which he hopes
kind at the Paris expedition of 1900.
Though the moon is 100000 miles distant
from the earth. NJ. Deloncle thinks he
can construct an apparatus which will
enable Us to examine that lnminary
at very close quarters The idea has been
French scientific society, and NJ. Deloncle
says. In substance, that the only obstacle
to close observation of celestial bodies is
the relative imperfection of instruments,
and that all that is required IL an enlarge.
ment and Improvement OF tho present IN
have reckoned that the image of the moon
can be brought quite close TO tine earth by
means of q crystal mirror eight meters in
diameter. but which, owing to the
thickness required. Would weigh about
eight tons. He has consulted various op-
ticians In Paris. and they are prepared to
execute the work before the year 1900.
There remains, however, the question OF
the structure which would be required to
hold the gigantic mirror. aud upon this
point M. Maurice Loewg, q distinguished
French astronomer. ssys that while in
principle NJ. Deloncle's scheme is posi- bio
there are enormous difficulties In the way
of it's realization, the chief of which, so far
as the exhibition is concerned, is that the
apparatus must be erected on q mountain
about two miles In height In order to So
cure the proper atmospheric conditions. Ii
this and other difficulties were surmounted,
says NJ. Loewy, there would be some very
remarkable results. for 1t wouldbe possible
TO clearly distinguish in the moon objects
about the size of o four-stOry hose.

Wool In America.
Washington (Pa.) Observer.
The crv an frenuentIv raiaAd hv

The cry 80 frequently raised By Demo-
cratic organs that it impossible to
produce in the United States the fine
grades of wool used in the manufacture
of the best lines of cloth is false and mis-
leading. A convincing proof of the alb
eurdity of this statement came under our
observation day OF two since. Hon. John
G. Clark. of South Franklin township,
sent samples of the wool product of his
fine flock of Saxonys to Chicago, to be in
cluded In the exhibit at the worlds fair.
One of the gentlemen In charge of the ex-
hibit. who is himself a wool-grower wrote
to Mr.. Clark as follows concerning his con.
tribution: Your samples are superior to
any have yet seen. and are certainly
equal to the celebrated clip of Sir Samuel
Wilson. of Amsterdam, who is acknowl-
edged to produce the finest and best wool
clips in the world
