His vsis Ga tho Worlds Fair and the
Engine Aadr~~s Captured Rr-
caii~<i the Awful Tragedy.

Mcdonald Il Rome, Georgia. Ia The
Morton yesterday. 1T recalled one of
tho meet vivid war scenes Of my youth.
That Is the locomotive which Captain
Andrews stole, and for which be was
hanged as . spy. The hanging took
place within 10 yards 81 my fathers
house. l remember il all a. II II were
only yesterday. The sight Of that dis
fnantled old engine brought back TO my
miod every detail of the execution.
Captain Andrews was with General
MItcheifs command ut Chattanooga.
He was a reckless. daring fellow.
end conceived the bold scheme Of go-
ing down 10 Atlanta. stealing an engine.
and burning all the bridges along the
line or the w. b A.. road. That would
have prevented the confederates' send
ing any reinforcements to Chattanooga.
-Andrews set out with a detachment
OF twenty men, They came down TO
Marietta and captured locomotive
while the train crew were at dinner. Tho
southerners heard Of Ii almost immedi-
ately and gave chase. At Kingston
their engine broke down; butthey found
new one and started after Andrews
again. They pressed him 80 hard that
he had no time 10 burn any bridges. At
the next station above Kingston he was
forced to abandon his locomotive and
take 10 the woods He and six or seven
OF his men were captured and brought
10 Atlanta Andrews was tried by a
court-martial and sentenced to DO
grove just across the street from my
erected the gallowa Ono morn
fnQ al. 4 49,
my brother and l were playing in the
by. We followed them and they halted
in the grove. Boy like, determined TO
be right 10 the front 10 see what was GO
ing on. and was only few feet from
Andrews when the drop fell. There was
a hero for you. His bravery made "a
lasting impress upon my boyish mind.
lie was "A tall. perfectly formed man with
long red whiskers and q blue eye that
glisfened like diamond. He walked to
his death as coolly az if:he were going TO
lunch. Not a muscle quivered. His
eyes shone with that wonderful bril-
liancy and his voice never trembled
when he spoke to the men who were ad-
justing the moose. The drop fell. and
with few commissions he was dead; but
never man met death with lees APP
parent concern"
Judge + X Pealers Of Three Rivers
was guest in The Morton last night on
his way to Bay View. Judge Pealer was
one OF the leading candidates In the re-
publican state convention held here last
fall to nominate candidate for justice
OF the supreme court. The farmers in
our locality are feeling the effects OF the
hard times" said the judge. Their
crops are not very encouraging. either.
The wheat crop hes just been harvested
and 10 not up to the average. Perhaps
after the extra session the outlook will
be brighter all around, unless the tax
conceive OF 80 disastrous measure being
passed. ] can remember, when a boy,
every store was obliged, for the firms
protection. to keep bank note detector
and examine every bill before accepting
it. cannot see why anybody should
care to have those times restored"
