Of REBELLION DAYS.
Tia Prison Pen Now Belongs u
Uncle Sam.

Among tao many places OF inter-
est which surround Americus. Ga,
there is none so historic in charac-
ter or of which 80 much has been
spoken or written, says the South
ern Tourist, as Andersonville, the
site of the old Confederate prison
and the National Cemetery, III
which lie the remains of over 49,
600 Union soldies. 1t lies II miles
northeast of Americus and can be
reached by rail or carriage. The
drive is pleasant and picturesque
one, the road winding among the
hills and valleys and passing
through forests Of pine.
OF the old prision pen, which
was in fact nothing but stockade
inclosing 30 acres OF land through
which runs Sweetwater creek, but
little remains. A few struggling,
half-rotted posts mark the line of
the stockade; q few earthworks,
upon which were mounted small
fixed pieces, show where once were
the gates; here and there are few
of the wells dug down into the hard,
red clay for shelter and in the hope
of escape. Providence spring,
which bursts forth just on the edge
of the "dead line" and furnished
fresh water for thousands of thirsty
throats, still contributes its never
failing stream to Sweetwater creek.
The grounds are now the property
of the G.. A. R., having been pur-
chased by the Department of Geor-
gia and turned over to the national
encampment. Carriage ways and
walks have been constructed
through the grounds, and it is in
tended to erect club house. Nis-
itors occasionally pick up some
relic of the thousands who were
confined here, in the shape OF
button, buckle or rusty canteen.
The National Cemetery, in which
lie representatives from every state
in the Union, and from almost ev-
cry regiment, with it's $4,000 white
headstones, resembling great army
of the dead, lies about half a mile
from the prison grounds, and is
surrounded by a brick wall. The
grounds arc nicely laid out, walks
we'll paved, the lawns kept nicely
shaved, while clumps of trees and
shrubbery break the monotony OF
an almost level plateau. All but =
few hundred of the graves are laid
out in long straight lines, with ave-
nues between, just as they were dug
by the burial corps of prisoners
who laid side by side their dead
brethren. A wonderfully correct
record was kept by this burial
corps, and this record has been
transcribed and is kept in the Of
fee of the superintendent, who can
in few minutes point out the ex-
act spot of any one buried in the
grounds. Near the center of the
grounds, apart from all the others,
unmarked and unhonored, lie the
remains of four prisoners who were
convicted by their fellow-prisoners
of robbery and murder and hung
upon a gallows erected within the
stock ade.

Marriages OF Freaks.

"Do museum freaks as q rule
marry happily?" was asked ~ \
purveyor OF freaks.
II cannot say. When one nat
ural curiosity marries another | be-
lieve they do, as rule. They have
been in the business together and
they know what to expect. There
is no stage glamor or tinsel attrac-
ton in it for them. It is business,
perhaps, with good deal of hon
est sentiment mixed up with it, but
they get married with their eyes
open.
Zone of the most remarkable mar
riages ever celebrated in this coun-
try was that of Pat O'Brien, the
Irish giant, and a female giantess,
at Pittsburg, in 1882. 1t was big
affair, and accounts of it were tele-
graphed all over the world. Colonel
George O. Starr, who is now Bar
mum & Bailey's right-hand conf
Dental man, engineered the affair.
Starr was managing Harris Muse
um at the time, and the giants
were on exhibition at that house.
O'Brien was Irish, while his bride
was a German girl. Both were over
seven feet in height.
"The wedding took place in the
Lutheran Church, for the girl was
of that denomination, and would
not sgree to be married in the ca
thedral, as her affianced desired.
The results of that marriage was
very happy. Both were apparently
satisfied with their choice. They
went to Europe, and while in Paris
Mrs. O'Brien died. That was four
or five years ago, and O'Brien has
never remarked, and what is more,
says that he never will.
"As another example Of freaks
living happily together let me refer
you to Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Thumb.
For over quarter Of a century they
lived in the utmost felicity.
"It is when q museum freak mar
ries some one outside of the pro-
fession, some fortune hunter or love-
sick sentimentalist, that trouble
ensucs. It doesn't take long for the
infatuation to wear off, and then
come chickering's and recrininations
and finally separation.-Philadel-

Prominent Traits of Edwin Booth.

DR.. Edgar Beall of New York,
who made chronological exami-
nation of Edwin Booths head after
death, wrote the Sun of the great
actors prominent traits of charac-
ter. There was not much friend
ship, attachment, or love of any
kind for persons outside of a select
circle. He was exceedingly loyal
and devoted to a few, but did not
wear his heart upon his sleeve. He
possessed little feeling of self-im-
portance, and not much love Of
appreciation. There could scarcely
have been more sensitive or mod
est nature. He was magnanimous
and. brave, generous and tender.
Although mighty conqueror, un-
consciously of the gentle sex, very
few women could have commanded
his love. He was instinctively a
monogamist, and the moderate de-
velopment of his cerebellum, as
we'll as the compressed and finely
chiseled lip and chin, betokened
conjugal affection, both refined and
under excellent control. Mr.. Booth
may not have had any fixed belief
in orthodoxical creeds, but he must
have been very sensitive to all oc-
cult influences, and inclined to
mediate upon the mysteries of the
"whence and whittier" To the con-
spicuous strength of the sentiments
in this question, may be traced
much of his success in delineating
the characters of SHAKESPEARE. He
was a great actor largely because of
his great superiority as a man, and
might have become distinguished
in many other departments, espe-
cially medicine.

popular subdivision of species is

fact, but why they lost it over the

conjecture and speculation.-Ex.

She, summoning her scanty knowl-

either side, ana the StanuS are cAau-
orately decorated with grains and
grasses. Hanging on the walls in
many places are ears of corn, and
the stalks are leaning in the corners
and tied to the rafters. Near the
stairway on the table with the fruit
is jar of Irish potatoes any OF
which weighs seven pounds, and
which brings forth many exclama-
tions of surprise. In the center OF

case, is jar filled in strata with
beans, wheat, oats and other seeds.
Stuck in this like a bouquet are .
great variety of wild weeds and
flowers dried, which have a very
pretty effect.

of agricultural products among her
fruit and the horticultural building.

potatoes. A monster cucumber pre-

A srcrTssroY op MURDERS.

Until 1884 no one was killed. Then Anse
Hatfield planned a surprise on three Nc
Cows whom he knew would pass along q
certain road about dusk. Three men eD-
peared and they were fred on. QUO being
killed and two badly hurt. but they were
not the McCoys Anss was angry at
having been deceived into killing the
wrong men. He thought q Mrs. Daniels
and her daughter had warned the McCoys.
Several nights later Bad Anss. Cap Hat
field. and Tom Walscs suddenly appeared
OF the Daniels cabin. Bill Daniels awoke
TO look into q cooked Winchester. He
was told 70 keep quiet. He was compelled
10 see his wife and daughter dragged By
their hair from their beds in their night
clothes and beat almost insenslble. The
beating vas done with the bone end OF a
cows tail. whiNhtCap had cut from tho
animal In the stable OF his victims. A
year late. one Of tue women" died from
the terrible beating. and the other Is a
cripple for life. After that Bill Daniels
Joined Rand'rs men in revenge.
A brother of Mrs. Daniels was tied with
a rope to saddle few days afterward
and driven like hog down Grapevine
creek toward the Daniels home. where
be was TO be killed in sight Of his sister.
As they ueared the point the prisoner
thought he saw a chance to slip the rope
from around his neck. The Hathslds ex-
plain, with much satisfaction, that this
was part of the plan.
The captive took the chance. and, with
a spring. plunged head-frst from q bluff
40 feet high into Tug river. When he APP
peared again he was half way across to the
Kentucky shore. Then the Hsthslds
kneeled down end deliberately began
firing with their WinohOsters at his head.
The fugitive was permitted to reach the
opposite bank. Just as he thought himself
safe Anss cried, Now" The next mo-
ment the fugitive dropped back IN tho
river with three Winchester balls In his
head. The Hathelds had been playing
with him. They could have killed him
the first fire. but there was more fun in
waiting. This is one OF the stories much
enioyed 10 this day IN HATFIELD circles.

JACKSON PAkk, ChICAdo, LII. June ~, %.
To the Editor of the Dispatch.
In the Agricultural Building here large
space has been set apart for Virginia On
one side of it Orange Free State, South
Africa. and Greece have very fine exhibits.
On another side Oregon has. of course, q
splendid exhibit. Still another side has
the Florida exhibit, which. while not over
abundant, is one which people from that
State may feel proud of. Numbers of Viz
ginians whom l have met have asked me
whore our States exhibit is. and have
frequently been ashamed TO show them.
Our Legislature, if my recollection serves
me rightly, appropriated $4,000 for a
State exhibit nc the Worlds Fair. In the
Agricultural Building the exhibit tor a
long time consisted of small bales of
hay. Recently there have been added 5
small samples of wheat. 6 small samples of
rye, u stalks tall corn, l rick peanuts, 3
feet high {: Il two-qusrt jars of seed corn,
wheat. oats, peas, beans, &C.; wheslbar-
row-load of corn In ears.
In the Mines and Mining Building our
exhibit is mean compared with West
Virginia. The Cardwell Machine Company
and the Richmond Cedar Works are all the
exhibitors have seen on the grounds.

THE nATFrrLDs GOT "EIaHT MAD.

Then some Hatfield sympathizers were
captured and taken to the Pike county
(Kv.) jail. This made the Hat6slds
right" mad and melted that faction to a
sort of revenge that horriasd the people
of both States.
On the New-Year's night following there
were at Randolph McCoy's home, besides
himself aud wife. their son Calvin and
Rosa AIMS 7-year-old boy Melvin, and
Allsphare, Addie and Fannie Mccoy, Old
RandPs daughters
About midnight the inmates were reused
by a gang of Hatfelds. Old kand'l made
no reply to the Hatields's order TO ssrren-
der. The door was first shot full of noles,
then five men of the Hatfield gang used
log as a oattering ram and tore tbs door
from its hinges. Miss Ellspbare, hearing
Cap Hstfield's voice and remembering
that they had been sweethearts once,
sprang to the door in her night clothes TO
appeal to him. AZ the girl appeared Cap.
from behind tree ten yards distant. raised
his rifle to fire.
You wouldn't shoot me. Cap" observed
the girl calmly, but without attempting TO
retreat.
Then Ellison Mounts shot the girl down
while she continued to plead for her
mother and sisters.
In the meantime the house had been
fired in several places. and the women
were told to run out and try to escape to
the woods. Mrs. Mccoy was shot ten feet
from the house. As she was supposed to
be dead she was not shot again.
An effort was made to have the perpe.
traitors OF this outrage extradited. Il
failed. and probably illegal posse crossed
the border in search of them.
They killed old Uncle Jim Vance.
captured Wall Hatfield and Doc and Sam
Msyhorn, killed Andy Varney aud Bill
Dempsey. and finally captured Ellison
Mounts.

THE EIEcUTroy or ELLISON MOUNTS.

The prisoner were taken into Kentucky
and lodged in Pike county jail. All wers
sent to the penitentiary tor long terms
except Ellison Mounts. He was convicted
of the killing of the Mccoy girl. February
IS, 1890, was the date set for the execution.
The Hatfields swore that Mounts should
never hang. One hundred OF the Mccoy
faction assembled and escorted the pris-
oner to q small valley surrounded by
mountain peaks near the scene of his
crime. A desperate fight was expected
and. with cooked rifle in the hands of HIS
exeoutioners, Ellison Mounts was swung
OF.
Bad Anse explained that the proposed
rescue failed because the boys were kinder

A year ago Frank Philip was shot at A
dozen times by the HatfeIds while he was
on West Virginia soil IN one of his daring
attempts to arrest members Of the gang
single-handed.
The last victim of the feud was Captain
Hatfield. The circumstances surround
ing his death have never been clear. He
was shot during last Christmas week near
Tug river. Anss says it was the result of
G quarrel with some Of his friends over q
game OF cards. but others assert that the
murder Was indirectly due to the terrible
mountain foud.

FOUND HER GIRL IN A DEN.
Pretty Jennie Robinson Rescued
by Her Mother in Brooklyn.
Policeman Burke Allowed All Her
Companions to Escape.

Jennie Robinson, a pretty little six
teen-year-old girl. of 4s9 Butler street
Brooklyn, was sent to the House of the
Good Shepherd this morning by Justice
Tighe. In the Butler Street Police Court
on the complaint of her mother, Mrs.
Bridget Robinson.
Jennie ran away from home few
weeks ago. Her mother. who became
very much distressed over her absence,
learned that she was in house in
Gold street, Brooklyn, and got war
rant from Justice Tighe for the girls
arrest.
Court Officer Burke was given the war
rant for execution, and yesterday morn
ing went with Mrs. Robinson to 2ii Gold
street very early.
The place Is only a few blocks from
the First Precinct Police Station. and
has hard reputation. The officer and
the mother went through a passageway
and reached a house In the rear. The
named johnson. the wife of an actor.
Burke knocked on the door, which was
opened on a crack.
He pushed it open and entered with
(, Mrs. Robinson.
The room was filled with young girls
and young men In the act OF dressing.
Among the inmates Mrs. Robinson
found her daughter.
While Mrs. Robinson was interviewing
her daughter the other occupants OF the
room scampered out half-dressed down
the stairs into the yard below.
Burke arrested no one In the house
except the Robinson girl, giving as an
excuse that he only had a warrant for
her
