morists Visit to the Con-
federate Home.

! Geo. W. Turmoil, former Sc
daIian who now resides at the Higgins
vile Confederate Home, contribute
to the Leo,ier the following article on
Robt. j. Burdette's recent visit there
"'Rohert J. Burdette, Bryn Mawr,
Pa. private & Co., 47th Ilis.-N.-
God bless us all ~. The above was
written in our visitors register last
Sunday. Mr.. Burdette lectured in
Higginsville Saturday night and
preached in the opera house Sunday
morning, and in the afternoon came
out to see the ''boys" and their home
He was accompanied by Mr.. School
ing, of the Leader, and several other
gentlemen of HigginsvilIe, and the
party were shown through the main
building and cottages. Our cottages
were a part of the home that Mr..
Bardette did not expect to see. 1t
was new feature to him in the cree
ton of benevolent institutions. He
expected to find one large brick build
ing, which we have, occupied by all
of the inmates, but was astonished
when shown eleven 3-room cottages,
two broom cottages, one 1O-room
house, one 7-room house and one
4-room house, all occupied by soldiers
and their families. Everything was
far beyond his expectations, and he
pronounced ours one OF the finest and
best conducted institutions that he
had ever visited. We appreciate his
visit to our home and his comments
upon it, for we know that he has
travelled from Maine to the CALIFORNIA;,
and across the waters, and has
seen many benevolent institutions,
and is qualified to express himself
without any prejudice to other homes.
1t is not necessary for Us to tell you
who Bob" Burdette is. He is known
in every state and territory on this
continent. by young and old, and is
reverenced by all, aid we hope to
meet him again. \ five dollar bill
was left with us for our cemetery
for which he has the heartfelt thanks
OF the boys and management. Mr..
Burdette was a gallant Union soldier,
but the grasp of his hand was as warm
and firm as brothers. "God bless
us all was heartily received from this
true, Christian gentleman. May his
journey through life be pleasant and
profitable one is the wish of the Mis-
souri, Confederate home inmates.

AFTER THE DROP.
1t Transpires that Dick Robin
son Was StrangIed to
Death.

In the extra editions this morning
it was stated that Robinson's neck was
broken by the fall through the trap.
But an examination by the physicians
shows that he was choked or strangled
to death.
Robinson was very light and
the fall was only seven
feet. His pulse ceased to beat
IL $ minutes, but his heart throbbed
tor some II minutes At 11:27 the
body was cut down and conveyed to
Hills undertaking rooms on West
Second street.
1t was taken in at the rear door
from the north alley: and rree Oppor-
tunity was given great crowd Of
whites and blacks To view the remains.
Undertaken Hills made the
mob file in from the back
door, passed the corpse, and
the way he hustled them through
showed him to be veteran in the
business.
There were only two white ladies
who called to see the remains. They
looked very much out of place.
The dead man lay as though in a
gentle sleep. His eyes were closed,
and there was not the least distortion
Of features. There was sight ahra-
tion-around the neck, made BY the
rope.
There was a host of negro wo-
men in the crowd that filed
by his body. Some of them looked
rs though they were about to weep.
The funeral will take place to-mOr-
row. from the Baptist church, upon
the arrival of his sister from Colorado
