Out of Money and Employment, F. II.
Milburn, Son of the Famous Blind Chap
lain of Congress, Kills Himself In His
Dependency
CHICAGO, May 29.-F. H. Milburn, son
of the blind preacher, w. III. Milburn,
for many years pastor of the house of
representatives, cut his own throat
Sunday afternoon at the Saratoga
hotel on Dearborn street. He was
dead when discovered. His death
was evidently carefully planned and
consummated with most sensation
al details, 1t evidently followed inn
mediately upon the receipt of a letter
from his father at Jacksonville, ILL.,, re-
fusing him further remittances of
money because he had been given money
enough and denying him entrance to the
paternal roof and still urging him to
earn his own livelihood. Upon receiv-
ing this letter young Milburn seems to
have given up at once all thought of
life and to have begun his preparations
to end his existence.
A Jacksonville (IlL) dispatch says
that Chaplain w. H. Milburn was mex.
pressibly shocked upon learning of the
suicide of his son. He stated that the
young man, who was about so years
old, had led rather a wayward and
reckless life, and was addicted to the
habit of drinking, and but recently haG
taken the gold cure at Denver
In the past the old gentleman
has often been asked for assistance
and as often has rendered it, but re
allied that being blind in his old age
and with limited means, he could nc
longer contribute to the support of 8
man in robust health and with ample
facilities for making livelihood. He
therefore refused further financial aid

PAT LOWERED The FLAG.
An Amusing Incident of the Battle of
Chickamauga.

An Amusing Incident of the Battle of
Chickamauga.
''One of the cutest things I saw dur
ing the war-and there were a good many
funny things happening along with the
sad and tragic-was the way the con-
federate flag went down while we were
prisoners of war on our way from the
Chickamauga battlefield to Richmond"
Itwas the most inveterate story teller
of the old -th Michigan cavalry who
began the yarn-a brave soldier, and
strong enough of heart and mind to
outlive nineteen months of Anderson
vile, Richmond and other southern
prisons.
Yes" he began again, that was
pretty cute. You see, we We're filed
into the cattle cars like hogs-hundreds
of us-and after awhile some of us boys
asked the guards if we couldn't get on
top of the cars.
LAS it was pretty hot, even for the
hot-headed Johnnies, in those crowded
cars, some of the guards let usiup, they
following to keep us company, of
course. 1t was better up there, de-
cidedly-except for one thing. Twas
hot inside the cars-hot and sitting
and dirty. But will you believe me!
1t was hotter on top, although there
was a bracing breeze, and we kept
getting hotter all the time. And it all
came of that dirty confederate flag.
There it fiuttered and tioated over our
heads, Haunting defiance in our very
faces Finally my ire couldn't stand
it any longer and l hitched up toward
an Irish lad, who, of course, was q
union man. l hitched up to him, and
says l: That don't look over and above
nice up there, does it? with nod o.
my head toward the flag.
Faith an yer right, yer honor! No
more it don't. Jist ye wait n bit anC
see how I'll trate i'm, the blackguard.
80 sat still, sleepy-lille, to fool the
guards, but with one eye on that in
