A Modern Jacob.

Three years ago Henry Schmidt, an
intelligent young German who had just
come tc this country, secured work on
the farm of Eli Sonsman, near West
Fork, Harrison County, Ind. After he
had worked three months, says the
narrative, MIR. Sonsman declared his in

however, the farmers daughters la
bored with the field hands and Kate,

agreed to work three years, taking pot

that time the marriage of Kate and him
self should follow, with division of
the homestead. All this was conditioned
that Kate did not change her mind.
Matters progressed swimmlngly until
recently, when Kate became enamored
of bright young Irishman named Ma
honey, and soon after married him over

elected from the house. He had, how
ever, enlisted the warm sympathy of
Mary, the 14-vear-old sister of Kate,
and she offered to take Kate's place in
Schmidt's affections. Mr.. Sonsman re-
fused to consent because of her tender
age, but after due negotiation another
compact was entered into, by which Mr..
Schmidt agrees to wait until she is Is
years old, after which time, if Mary is
still living. marriage may follow. In
the new agreement Schmidt promises
to remain upon the farm at work for

northumberland steamer, was lying at
the wharf, and that the commander
was both ready and willing to take
one-half the troops at government
rates. The refusal of Gen Wood to act
upon Maj. Elders suggestion forces
one to think that the Adutant Gen
eral, Capt. Speed Peay, had contract
ed with the captain of the Sultana for
the whole or none of the troops. Gen.
Wood seemed unwilling to break the
compact.
"The Sultana. in leaving the landing
at Memphis, followed the stream On
the Tennessee side to a point up the
river known as the Hen and Chick
ens,' group of small islands. At
this point the captain headed her
diagonally across the current to strike
eddy water, on the Arkansas side. Her
hold being empty, carrying no ballast,
all her head being above the water
line, she was top heavy. which caused
her to rock like vessel in the trough
of the sea. This rocking motion
agitated the water in the boilers,
which were carrying pressure beyond
their strength. The river at this point
at that time was about fifteen miles
wide, the levees being broken on both
banks. The shore line was only dis
unstable by the fringe of the forest
trees. The night was intensely dark.
The clouds, low, murkv and water-laden
hung in the sky. Vived flashes of
lightning earnestly played across the
horizon, giving the whole scene most
terrible and narrowing aspect. It was
night for disaster.
"The fated steamer had obeyed her
helm and righted herself in the current
when the surrounding gloom was
lighted up as by torch from the in
fernal regions, followed by a sound
which seemed the groan of the world
being rent in twain, and which rever-
berated for miles through the country.
The explosion parted the steamer
smidships. Fire followed, and her
stern, wrapped in flames, drifted down
stream. But 403 of the troops were
saved, 1879 gallant souls, who had
fought all through the war. perishing
almost on the threshold of their homes.
"Such are the actual facts of the de-
struction of the Sultana, as witnessed
and experienced by one of the rescued.
The public mind has rested for twenty
seven years under the impression that
one Robert Lowden, a socalled Con-
federate spy, had caused the loss of the
boat by secreting dynamite in the coal.
It is said that Lowden had so confessed
to one w. c. Streeter, of st. Louis,
and that Streeter had acknowledged
the fact. There is not a single fact to
bear out such statement, and the
whole story is the fabrication of a
fertile brain.
"Many of those who were rescued
were in the water nearly all night
hanging to pieces of wood. They
were rescued by passing boats. The
suffering was intense and many gave
up in despair and sank beneath the
muddy waters. Such night of hor-
rors I never knew. Some of the
scenes that took place were heart-rend-
ing. Friends saw their comrades car
ried down before their eyes, or burned
and scalded. Every body was mad
with terror, and nothing could be
done to quiet them.
