TWO ANGRY ENERALS.

The Punishment Melted Out to Dishon.
est Conductor During the War.
Gen. Sherman's wrath blazed with in
creasing intensity, and cooled off very
slowly. Sheridan's anger exploded
without premonitory fizz, and subsided
as quickly. Theodore R. Davis, the war
artist, tells in the Cosmopolitan of an
occasion when Sherman was so full of
wrath at man that he turned him over
to Sheridan, saying, II am too angry,
Phil; see to him!" 1t was on train of
freight cars running on the Nashville
and Chattanooga railroad. At this time
the railroad was military road, and
the only ticket required was a counter
signed army pass, or the written trans
portation ticket furnished to furloughed
soldiers.

writes, sin which Gems. Sherman and
Sheridan, together with few officers
of their personal staff, We're riding,
while the train conductor, unaware of
their presence, was collecting fare from
protesting soldiers whose rights on the
train, if supplied with proper papers,
were better than his own. To stop the
robbery 1 returned to Sherman's car
and briefly explained to the general
what was going on.
"'Hold on, Philr he said to Sheridan,
who was on his way to the door. Then

quietly.

Devices Calculated to Rob wood-sawing
of Its Terrors.
There seems to be great prejudice
among farmers anu farm hands against
the use of the bucksaw. This, l be-
lieve, is mostly the result of poorly
contrived benches for supporting the
wood, and saws in wretched condition.
With the wood properly held and the
saw in fine condition, saving with n
bucksaw is an economical way of
working up wood, especially if it is in
poles of small size.
Oftentimes the chief fatigue of this
way of saving is the strain from hold
ing down the stick with the knee when
there is long, free end overbalapcing
the part supported on the buck.
To obviate this trouble neighbor has
sawbuck arranged like Fig. 2. In
stead of having the two KS it has
three, and the whole length, as meas
ured through the center pin, is three
and one-half feet. A and b are twelve
inches apart, b and c are thirty inches
apart, and the saving is done at the

OUT OF THE DITCH.
A Union Officers Experience in the Battle
of the Wilderness.

Union Officers Experience in the Battle
of the Wilderness.
On the first day of the Wilderness
fight, says Major Wright, in "Glimpses
of the Nations Struggle" the adjutant
of the One Hundred and Forty-sixth
New York was prostrated by Mimic
bullet which shattered his left arm. He
ciawled into a ditcn, across which the
confederate lines charged, and were re.
pulsed. The ditch was soon filled with
the wounded and unwounded of both
armies.
All that afternoon the fire was SO hot
that not man dared to raise his head
above the ditch. A majority of it's oc-
cupants were confederates, one of
whom, an officer of the Tenth Virginia,
ordered his men to spread blankets for
the wounded adjutant, and to make
him as comfortable as possible. n
AS darkness drew on the wounded
adjutant told the confederate officer
that if he could get into the union lines
he could secure better medical attend
ance, and that. being wounded, he was
not worth much as prisoner.
"If you can get there you are at lib
erty to do so," replied the confederate.
The adjutant exchanged cards and
shook hands with the officer, and both
men climbed out of the ditch, but on
opposite sides. The adjutant reached
the union lines, where his arm was am
putated and he was sent home. Youths

Bath County Murder.

An Atlanta, Ga, special to the Ric b.
gan, of Bath county, Va, passed through
Atlanta Tuesday night with a closely
guarded and heavily chained prisoner.
That same prisoner may yet ornament
the end of rope. Nearly six years ago
one of the most prosperous young far
mers of Bath county was found dead in
his bed in the morning, with an ugly
sta in his breast and cash across his
throat, which left no room to conjecture
the cause of his death But Charles Il.
Audman was not known to have an
enemy in the world, and for several days
no one could conjecture who had done
the bloody deed. A few days after the
burial, however, James T. Kaufman, a
disappeared, and in short time suspic
ion pointed to him, but for years nothing
was done. Several months ago negro who
was working for Audman at the time Of
the murder was arrested for burglary,
and while in jail confessed that he and
Kaufman committed the deed, actuated
by desire to secure few hundred dol
lars Audman was known to have about
the house. 1t required no trouble to
| locate Kaufman near Mobile, where he
was superintendent of plantation.
When Sheriff Logan secured Kaufman
in Alabama he admitted that he had
always known that the negro did the
work, but denied any part in it himself.
The Sheriff of Bath county is G. F.
Rivercomb, and not Logan. The whole
story may be a fabrication

Divorced in Eight Minutes.

| Signor Randegger, the aged musical
director, special cable dispatch from
London say, had his wife and Hayden G.
Coffin, the American tenor, in the Di-
vOrce Court last week, and as a result of
the proceedings, which lasted exactly
eight minutes, Signor Randegger is now
wifeless and Coffin is free to marry this
fascinating woman if he so desires
Originally Mrs. Randegger had filed
cross suit. but this was abandoned by
the Solicitor General, and Sir Charles
Parker Butt granted the decree in favor
of the husband, laying all the costs,
which are excessively heavy, on Mr..
Collins shoulders. Sir Charles Russell,
counsel for Signor Randegger, said that
the couple lived together for six years,
when she left her husband and moved
into flat, where Mr.. Coffin visited her on
latch-key terms. Neither for the lady
nor for the correspondent were questions
asked on cross-examination.
Signor Alberto Randegger, who has
just obtained a divorce from bis wife, is
a composer, conc uctor, and teacher of
singing. He was born in Trieste in 1882.
He began the study of music at the age
of thirteen, and by year 1859 was known
as the com poser Fof several masses and
smaller pieces of church music and of
two ballots. He was musical director of
of several theatres in Italy. In 1854 he
brought out a tragic opera in four acts
called Blanca C0pelJo at the chief thea
| tire of Brescia.
| At that time signor Randegger was in
duced to go to London, where he has
since remained and where he married
woman much younger than himself.
He soon took high position. In 1864
he produced at the Theatre Royal,
Reeds, The Rl0al Beauties, a comic
of singing at the Royal Academy of
Music and holds other responsible posi-
tions in the Academy. He is now con-
ductor of the Norwich Festival, having
been appointed when Sir Julius Bene-
dict resigned. Signor Randeggers pubs
lished works are numerous and impor-
tant
q. Hayden Coffin, the correspondent,
became acquainted in London with Mrs.
Randegger. They had long been noticed
to be on very friendly terms. He played
in 1880 at the Prince of Wales Theatre,
in London, with Miss Agnes Huntington
in Walter Slaughter's Ma1joTie. He
was also in the cast in Captain THerese

collin box came in at 8 O'Clock in the
morning, having been out all night.
Five of the six carriages were broken,
poles, whiffietrees, and wheels were
J smashed, and springs were gone com>

torn off in some cases, and had to be re-

and prayer, they babe the mourners
farewell and in sympathy and sorrow
retired from the sad home Then the
delegation went to the nearest store,
bought extra woollen shirts to wear for
the day only, helped to knock the frozen
mud off the vehicles, and turned their
backs on West Liberty forever. The
snow had ceased to fall, but the air was
very plentiful and bitter cold. The
roads were frozen solid in nearly every
place. The ice had formed thick ON the
quiet waters, cutting the horses legs as
they broke their way through it. The
wagons were badly broken, and one of
them soon gave out and had to be left
behind. All the delegation walked and
rode by turns, as the country would per-
nit. One of the colored drivers froze up
completely, and Representative Long
took the lines Representative Gillespie
discovered that his grip had jumped out
of the carriage, so back he went after it,
and he tramped about three miles before
he found it.
Senator Warren was found much im>

back to Morehead, palace cars and civil

Warren was the most affected. Senator

An Australian pearl diver will recount
his experience in the April Century. He
says that one of the strange effects of
diving is the invariable bad temper felt
while working at the bottom of the sea;
and as this usually passes away as soon
as the surface is reached, it may be sup
posed to be due to the pressure of air in
side the dress, affecting the lungs, and
through them the brain. diver often
becomes so angry at some imaginary
wrong doing on the part of those in the
boat above that he gives the signal to
be pulled up, with the intention of
knocking the heads off the entire crew."
only to forget what he came up for when
the surface is reached.
