A STORY OF THE WAR.
Interesting Incident In the Army Life o
Connecticut Man.

Interesting Incident In the Army Life OF
Connecticut Man.
A short time ago Postmaster James
Braclen, of Webster, was invited out
To tea, Mt the residence of an intimate
friend. At the table were small party
OF friends, and during the pleasant
conversation one of the ladies stated
that she was native of Baltimore,
Md, and when but n miss of ten years
resided in that city, in January, 1864.
The conversation was very interesting
To Mr. Bracken, who was veteran OF
the war, and he stated to the lady (who
by the way, made your correspondent
pledge that he would not use her name)
that he was member of Company II,
First Connecticut cavalry, and in the
winter of 1864 and '65 was doing patrol
duty in that city IL was soon dis.
covered that the lady and Mr. BraclSen
had now met under different circum-
stances in this unexpected meeting in
the quiet house in Webster, twenty
nine years after their first introduction
In the secession city OF Baltimore. The
story is as follows:
In January 1864, the piclSets outside

ance Of southern spy. They gave
chase, but the fellow got into the city
and eluded the union troops Word
was sent TO Col. French of the First
Connecticut cavalry, who was provost
marshal Of the city; and he sent out
several squads TO search places well
known TO him as being In sympathy
with the south. As luck would have IL,
Mr.. Bracken and five others were or
dered to the home of Mrs. w. Il. Powell
on Fulton street, lady who ofttimes
would come out of the house, stand ON
the doorstep, when the boys were
watering their horses, and give three

stationed at the front and rear en-
frances 20 the house, while four union
soldiers, one of whom was Comrude
Bracken, entered the house, searching
from cellar To attic for the rebel mail

was never heard or seen after In the
city, Mr. Bracken, at this meeting
with the woman who, twenty-ninc
years ago, was but blushing miss, was
Informed that the old lady, Mrs.
Powell then widow, and her grand
mother, mistrusting that her home
would be searched, put the dashing
wild fellow in the bed between the
straw tick and the feather bed, made
the two girls-this Webster lady and
her cousin, eleven years Of agc-un-
dress and go TO bed, the southern chap
being beneath them, safely hidden
away. The union boys entered the
sleeping chamber, looking under the
bed, into the closets, up the chimney,
but no traces of their hidden man did
they find. lie was let out during the
night, the lady said, and after having
delivered his mail from the south,
thinking IT was too warm, went back
10 Richmond His route, averaging
three weeks for trip, was from Balti.

AFTER THE BATTLE.

Horrors of the Field OF Carnage After
the Fighting Has Long Since Ceased.
Only those commanding corps and di-
visions have posts from which to sur
vey battlefield while the fight is on.
If the battle is furious all along the
line, even the general In command
may not be able to take in over half
mile in front One may have been In q
dozen battles without witnessing more
than the maneuvers of brigade Bat
ties usually end in withdrawal and
pursuit. In either case nearly all the
troops on both sides are set in motion,
and so men who have been fighting all
day march away and see only the dead
and wounded in their front. But very
few wounded are brought in by night,
and the dead can wait for the sun to
rise. To move about on the field at
night is TO take your life in your hand.
There are ghouls robbing the dead who
will fire upon you, and there are
wounded men who will treat you as u
foe. There are ridcrless horses gallop-
ing about, while others, maddened with
the pain of wounds, will rush at you
opened-mouthed from the darkness
1t is when morning comes again that
those left behind TO bring in the
wounded, bury the dead and collect the
equipments scattered over miles of
ground perhaps can See and fully realize
how fierce and deadly the fighting was

double duty-to the Company and to
trayelers-and it is sometimes task
difficult Of accomplishment. Passen"
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be
better understood If n short lesson in
