THE FIRST GUN.
Eye witnesses of the Bombardment of
Fort Sumter.

Eye witnesses OF the BOmbardment OF
Fort Sumter.
Thirty-one years ago the first gun of
the civil war was turned upon Fort
Sumter
of the band of ten officers, who with
the gallant Maj. Anderson held out SO
long and bravely against the outbreak
of rebellion, but two are left TO tell the
story less than the third Of century
after
They are Maj.-Gen. Samuel w. Craw-
ford of Pennsylvania, and Gen. Abner
Doubleday, of Mendham, n. j. Gen..
Crawford has but lately returned from
Europe, where he has been under the
treatment of prominent physicians for a
wound received at Antietam, and Gen.
Doubleday is an invalid at his home.
In his room at the army and navy club
Gen. Crawford spoke of that lombard
ment, small as an engagement but far
reaching in its results.
He was a broad-shouldered man with
gray side whiskers, full, rudy face,
large, fearless eyes and military bear
ing despite the wound which has some
what crippled his movements. He is
the only man who saw the first and the
last gun of the war fired, having been
with Anderson at Sumter and Grant at
Appomattox.
Gen Crawford was a soldier at the
breaking out of the war. He had joined
the service in 1861 and served for five
years in the Eighth infantry with Long
street and Pickett. At Sumter he took
command of the battery which opened
fire ON Fort Moultrie. President Lin
coin had warm place in his heart for
the men who had served at Sumter,
and soon he offered Gen. Crawford then
surgeon) his choice between a commits
sion as Northumberland and major.
The latter was accepted and the COM
mission was for Gen. Sherman's old
regiment, the Thirteenth. 1t was while
in command Of the First division on the
famous cornfeld at Antietam, OPP
posite the Dunkard church, that
the wound was received which re-
service for a few months. and
on account of which he has been
abroad for two years and a half. Just
before the northern movement, which
received its check at Gettysburg, he was
on duty in Washington, on account of
wounds, but through the influence of
Senator Cameron and A. X Mcclure,
and regardless of his physician, he was
placed in command of the Pennsylva-
MIA reserves, and did well-remembered
service at Gettysburg. After service all
through the Rapidan up to the last gun
at Appomattox, he remained in the
army until 1878, when he was retired
with the rank of brigadier-general.
His friendship with Stonewall jackson
is a passage of his life which the gem
eral loves to recall. OF late years he
has been prolific writer on topics per-
tanning to the civil war, and at present
Gen, Crawford is engaged upon memoirs
of the campaigns which he witnessed
and took part in.-Chicago Mail.

A BIT OF WAR HISTORY.
Lieut.. Rumsey's Lucky shot at For
Fisher.

Lieut. Rumsey's Lucky shot at Fort
Fisher.
To the surviving soldiers and sailors
who took part in the reduction of Fort
Fisher, in January, 1865, it will be par
ticularly interesting to read, perhaps
for the first time, that a lucky shot
from the then famous ironclad New
Ironsides, turned the tide of battle in
favor of the northern forces and short
ened the time of the capitulation of the
fort by at least one day, if not more.
To the late Henry B. Rumsey, then
naval lieutenant of Fort Wayne, Ind,
belongs the honor Of giving the order
which landed an cleven-inch shell in
the center of the traverse occupied by
the confederates, scattering and de-
moralizing them 50 that our troops
T. shed in and took possession Of the
tly-contested point. which about an
ur and a half of stubborn hand-to-
nd nghting had failed to give us.
The circumstances were these: Our
troops had reached, l think, the fifth
traverse, where the rebels had made
determined stand. and it seemed impos-
sible to dislodge them. Commodore
Radford remarked that if they could
hold their position a little longer it
would be dark and he was afraid our
troops would be obliged to retire
The Ironsides was ordered by Admiral
Porter to keep up a slow bombardment

raj Porter. with his flagship Malvern,
was on our port quarter watching our
firing. Seeing where our shells were

Here is something reasonable, and
should interest US all. DR.. Shops in
vestigations have shown that if the main
nerve of the arm or leg be severed, or if
constant pressure be applied TO these
nerves, the muscles are paralyzed.
He has found that life and strength
depends on neTue polUer.
This is why "Blood Purifiers" give only
temporary relief Certain nerves, he has
found, control the action of the stomach,
liver, kidneys and all internal organs.
Dr. ShOOp's Restorative is o
stomach, liver and kidney cure, as it is
food and tonic to these nerves. 1t is not
" Nervine." Bread, meat, potatoes, etc,
are the bIood-neakers, and when the digest

must also be weak. When these nerves
are weak, these organs fail. Is it not rea-
sonable?

THE GREAT PEARL CASE.
q New Feature Which May Result in
Mrs. Osborne's Persecution.

u new cehLuFe "hlcu may ASGSuAb Az
Mrs. Osborne's Prosecution.
LONDON, Jan. ga new and most UNI
pleasant feature in the Osborn Har-
greaves stolen pearls case, has developed.
As was announced, exclusively in these
cable dispatches, that Captain Osborne,
the husband of the lady, who has, prac-
tically been convicted of stealing Mrs.
Hargreaves' jewelry, had forwarded to
the Treasury the sum Of five hundred
and fifty pounds, the amount paid by
Messrs. Sphinx & Sons, the jewellers, who
purchased the pearls from Mrs. Osborne.
This money was to be refunded to the
jewellers who have already given up the
pearls to Mrs. Hargreaves.
But the police authorities decline to
give up possession of the endorsed bank
notes by which the identity of Mrs. Os-
borne as the person who sold the pearls
to Messrs. Sphinx & Sons was established.
These notes are the identical ones paid
to Mrs Osborne by the jewellers and as
this can be proved, as they bear her sig
nature, it is intended to use them as
evidence against her. Thus new trial
may be looked for.
Captain Osborne is doing everything
possible to protect his wife; but, in
spite of this, the police are confident that
they will soon have her in custody and it
is intended to press the case against her
to the full extent of the law.

INDIANS ANXIOUS TO DIE.
Think They VIII Come Back as the ''NIes.
sIah's'' Body Guard.


GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. 2S.-Large num-
bers of the Pawnee, Otoe and Missourie
Indians are dying daily of la grippe.
Sixteen of the former tribe died in a
single day from this disease, brought on
by exposure at the ghost dances, which
they still keep up. The Pawnee Indian
who claims to be the prophet of the COM
ing Messiah, has taken advantage of the
large number dying, and now proclaims
that those who die are the elect who are
called away to meet the coming Savior,
and will return with him as his body
guard when he comes next May to destroy
the whites and restore the buffalo and
other game for the red men to hunt.
As a result, the Indians are fitting each
dead man out with rations, guns, am
munition, etc., and every chief is buried
with his horse. Consequently all the
braves are anxious to die, and many
abuse themselves and lie out doors ex-
posed, hoping to be called with the elect.
