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 a century
after.
They are Malice 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
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. ruddy face,
large. fearless eyes and a 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 fred, 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 cornfield at Antietam, OPP
posite the Dunkard church, that
the wound was received which re-
tired Gen. Crawford from active
service for a few months, and
on account Of which he has been
abroad for two years and 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 1873. when he was retired
with the rank of brigadier-generaL
His friendship with Stonewall jackson
is a passage of his life which the gen
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.-Chieago Mail.

rhe pecline o. the F1nte.

The decline of the flutes popularity
is thus accounted for by a London critics:
Modern orchestral composers have per-
mitted the oboe and clarionet to elbow
their way to the front, to the exclusion
of a companion whose ancestry dates
back to ancient Phrygia- Gluek, who
fourished before the DAYS of the clar-
ionet and who only had at his dis
posal a coarse-toned oboe, was well con-
tent-notably in his 'orfeo' and AL
eeste'-to write fine melodies for the
flute, while Handel. too, found its soft,
complaining tones full of expressive
qualities. With the invention of the
clarionet. however, and the perfecting
of the oboe the flute lost great deal of
its orchestral individually. Composers,
finding reed effects reader to their
hands. became chary of according prom
inence to an instrument whose unsuP-
ported voice savored somewhat Of an
tiquity and whose timber lacked the
color and character Of the other MEM
oers Of the woodwind family"

Checkered Stage Career of Popular Thorn

Checkered stage Career OF Popular Ahom-
ms Q. Seabrooke.
Thomas Q. Seabrooke, the comedian
who has made a success in The Isle OF
Champagne" at the Grand opera house,
Chicago, has had a checkered stage
career. He was born in Mount Vernon,
N. Y, in 1860, and at the age of eleven
he entered a bank, in a perfectly legiti-
mate manner. His banking experience
lasted nine years, and his first theat-
rical venture was with Frank NJ. Wills,
now starring in 1.-Two Old Cronies."
The weather was hot, the town was
Newark. n. j., and Seabroolxe lost the
money he PIT up. Amy Stone engaged
him to play BERTHE Cecil in Cigarette"
and his first stage appearance was in
September, $780, After that he played
with Helen Coleman IN ''The Widow
Bedott" and was stranded in Michigan
while playing in repertoire with the
same star; then with w. H. Lytell
in Canada, with L. H. Seaver in
Rooms for Rent" with viii Carleton
in Irish Aristocracy," with Lytell
in Halifax, with Gus Williams in Zone
of the Finest" and with Jeffreys Lewis
in 1.-THE Ruling Passion His first dis
covery that he was a comedian was
whe. George Holland offered him an
increase of $40 in salary to play the
comedy part in Ten Nights in Bar
Room" lie made a big hit and then
went into farce comedy. After playing
a round of parts he was engaged by
Hoyt TO play the Plumber in "a Tin
Soldier and subsequently Deacon Todd
in "a Midnight Bell" In both of these
parts he made an impression Turning
then to comic opera he appeared in this
city in king Cole" since known as
Wang" and then he starred in THE
Fal1ir'' under Manager Hamlin's man
agement. With De Wolf Hopper he
made another entry into comic opera, APP
pearing in Castles in the Air, and then
he was engaged to create the title role
of Bill Nye's play, THE Cadi." His va
ried experience as a leading man, heavy
man, farce comedian and singer has been
OF enormous value to him, and to it he
owes no small part Of his present sue
cess as King Pommery Second

A Complicated Case Settled in the Favor

A Complicated Case Settled in the Favor
of Pittsburgh.
In the spring it was announced that
President Won der Abe, of ST. Louis,
had released Infelder Frank Genins.
After waiting ten days he was signed
by the Western league and assigned tc
indianapolis, which team he strength
ened considerably. Subsequently Chi
caPo entered claim for Genins upon
the ground that the Chicago club had
not waived claim upon the player Pres
ident Young accordingly notified the
Western league that Genins would have
10 be released. The Indianapolis club,
however, needed him badly and sue
ceeded in inducing Chicago to wait
awhile until the Western league could
replace Genins. After a reasonable
time Chicago demanded the player, but
all demands were calmly ignored by
the Indianapolis club and the Western
league. President Hart then threat
enei to appeal to the national board,
whereupon President Brush, of Cincin-
natl, stepped in, and upon the same plea
as Chicago-viz: refusal to waive
claim-signed Genfns and then loaned
him to Indianapolis. Next Won der Abe
bobbed up with claim that he had
never released Genins, and at the
leagues special meeting included Genins
in the deal for Calvin. Manager Buck
enberger then went to Indianapolis to
sign Genins, but President Brush would
not permit, saying that he had ordered
Genins to Cincinnati in place of Burke,
who would replace Genins in Indian
apolis. Genins exhibited release from
Won der Abe given under old Associa-
ton rules The complication was set
tied by President Young, who, by tele-
gram, instructed President Brush to re-
lease Genins to Pittsburgh. This Mr..
Brush reluctantly did, and SO Pitts
burgh got the man.

AS the brethren read these lines may they
lift up their hearts to God in prayer for u.s.
Our meeting which began the Sd inst, is
still in progress, and probably will be for a
week or ten days longer. Our town is be-
ing stirred from center to circumference by
the power of our God. More than one hun
dred souls were near the altar last night
Sunday calling upon God for converting
and sanctifying power, and, bless God, it
came. Oh, the joy that thrills my soul as
l write these lines. All glory and praise to
such manifestations of his convicting, con-
verting and saving power. While some few
of our people have an appetite for evangel-
lists, bless God they are beginning to sec
that evangelists have no patent right on
Gods power. God bless the evaagelists
and their work and the pastor that thinks
he can't have revival without them We
are all on The altar, and looking to God for
power. Pray for us.
