cause OF the sudden death of Professor

Grammar school, who, after being missed
from nome day, was found dead at his
schoolroom on Sunday afternoon is still
conjecture. The autopsy has not vet
been completed. 1t is suggested by some
mat Professor Dillon'S death was the re-
suit OF some kind of an explosion of the
chemicals. The professor was much given

HQulds. In the absence of any other ex-
piahaton this one is volunteered and ac-
cepted by some. There is intense interest
TO know the exact cause of his death. The
physicians who were with him before he
dled could discover no cause for death. nor
was any cause discovered III the AUTOPSY of
the brain, lungs and heart. Several Of the
physicians, however are pronounced in the
opinion that death did not result from nat
ural causes. This strange mystery IS the
talk OF the town. The stomach and q glass
of liquid, presumably water, found in d
desk near Mr.. Dillon, were this morning
turned over to the coroner to be sent to

locked, climbed up the window ledge
and looked in. They could plainly see the
desk and chair where he was found but
he was not there, and that was after Pro-

An Exchange of Prisoners Refuse

1t may be shown that the government of
the United States was, in a large measure,
responsible for the situation at Anderson
vile.
According to the rules adopted for the
exchange of prisoners it was the duty OF
the federal government to reclaim Its
prisoners at the south by restoring an
equal or corresponding number of southern
prisoners at the north.
Instead of this, however, and in spite OF
the sufferings of their men, due to the I'M
ooVerished condition of the south, they re-
fused to reclaim their prisoners, and thus
allowed them to endure the hardShlpS of
prolonged incarceration.
Acting under the direction of the secre-
tary OF war; and seeing plainly that there
hope for any general system of eX-
change the commissioner in charge of the
prison offered to deliver to the federal agent
all the sick and wounded federal prisoners
on hand, without insisting upon the deliv-
cry of an equivalent number of southern
prisoners in return. No advantage, however,
was taken of this humane proposition, and
the federal government, with every means
of providing for them at hand, is chargea-
BILE with having ignored in this particular,
the common dictates of humanity.

AN OLD STORY
RECALLED BIZ THE DEATH OF HORA.
ITO ~ CLARK IN NEW YOHA.
At AndersonvilIe, Where He Is Alleged to
Have Discovered PrOvidential Spring.
Chapter Recalled.

In the tragic death of Horatio N. Clark.
in the state of New York last Tuesday, the
story Of prison life at AnderSonVllle, dul-
ing the war; is recalled.
Mr.. Clark is the man who is said to have
discovered the spring, at a time of drought
in the Andersonville prison yard, and which
is still pointed out in that locality
On account Of the scarcity of water at
that time, the discovery was regarded as
providential and the name OF ''PrOvdehtlal
Spring was impaired to the new fountain
which it still retains.
The following telegram announces the
death of Mr.. Clark:
Amsterdam, N. Y.-Horatio N. Clark
of Akin, was killed yesterday on the West
Shore crossing at Auriesville. Mr.. Clark
was slXty-fve years of age. During the
war, while a prisoner at Andersonvllle, one
morning he took a walk about the prison
pen while his comrades were asleep, and to
his surprise and delight discovered a stream
of water, clear and cold, gushing from the
ground where there had never been water
before. The spring named Providence
spring."
Prior to his death Mr.. Clark made a
number of trips to Georgia and visited the
scene of his incarceration.
How the Prison Was Slnndered.
For number of years the attitude of
the confederate government with reference
to the prison at Andersonville grossly
misunderstood
1t was charged by the northern press
that cruel disregard of the lives and we'll
being of the prisoners characterized the
conduct of the officers in charge OF that
prison. Facts were distorted and the suffer-
ings of the prisoners magnifed in such a
way as to belle the truth of history ana
bring unmerited reproach upon this section
This cruel misrepresentation did more TO
widen the breach between the two sec
tions after the war than any other argu-
ment employed.
AS matter of fact the treatment Of the
prisoners at Andersonville was character
lied by the most humane consideration.
The location, in the first place, was the best
in the confederacy. 1t was in the midst OF
a grain-producing area, and the climate was
pure and healthy. The sanitary regulations
were prescribed in due form, but these were
diSregarded by the prisoners of war, and
the subsequent charges which were made
against the prison were due to the conduct
of those incarcerated The prevalence of
disease, therefore, was due, not to the lack
of sanitary regulations, but to the Wanton
disregard of rules by the inmates of the
prison
In regard to the apportonment of food
among the prisoners they were given just
as much and fed as we'll as the confederate
soldiers. The south was impoverished; she
had no provisions for her own men, but
such as she had she divided with the pris-
oners. The prisoners, hoWeV,c.', would fire.
quently trade their provisions for whisky
and tobacco, and some would even go so
far as to sell the very clothes on their
back.

General HIS Great Speech


The speech of Mr.. Hill, delivered in the
national house of representatives in 1876
effectually put a stop TO all of the ISLANDERS
circulated against the south growing out
of the treatment of prisoners at Anderson
vile.
He had just entered congress and the
speech was really his maiden effort.
Mr.. Blaine had delivered his great speech
the day before and had used the severest
language at his command in speaking of the
prison. Said he:
Il now assert deliberately before God,
my judge, knowing the full measure and
import of my words, that the crueties of
the duke of Alva, in the low countries, the
massacre of ST Bartholomew and the screws
and tortures of the Spanish inquisition did
not approach in cruelty the atrocity of An
dersonville.'
This was severe language, as bitter as it
was undeSerVed.
Mr.. Hill, who had been a member of the
confederate congress and who was familiar
with the situation was selected by his col
leagues to make the reply.
There was considerable uneasineSs on the
part of the friends of Mr. Hill, for they
recognized i'll Mr. Blaine a man of singular
power and ability He had been the speaker
of the house in the preceding congress and
was the acknowledged leader of the repub-
lCan party.
When Mr.. Hill arose, however, and began
his speech all of this uneasiness was dis
PEELED. He was cool and self-possessed and
seemed to grow in stature as he warmed
in speech and the ferVor of his oratory. He
Vlndlcated the southern people and charged
the federal government with the burden of
the responsibility. Medicine had been made
contraband of war by the action of the
government and this directly the cause
OF many deaths throughout the prisons of
the south. He charged the government with
failure to redeem the prisoners of war,
and, taking up the figure of Mr.. Blaine
de:lared that such atrocity was unknown
even to the duke of Alva. He closed in an
eloquent appeal for broader and higher
patriotism and the speech was pronounced
the greatest delivered in the house of rep
reSentatlVes since the war.
On the strength of this speech Mr. Hill
was sent to the senate of the United States
and there he died.
Mr.. Blaine, since that time, has also pass
ed away, and now the death of Mr.. Clark,
adds new interest to the tragic story. The
attitude of the south with reference to the
prison at Andersonville, is now universally
recognized.
During 1887 and 1883, the British govern
ment sent eghty-five patients to Pasteur to
be treated for hydrophobia; of these five
died and the remainder recovered.

THE VACATION TRAGEDY.
Wagner's GOmrade Makes a Serious
Charge Against Captain Drew.

On the last voyage of the bark
Andrew Welch to this port, q young
man named Harry Wagner was lost
overheard while the vessel was in
sight of land. The facts of the case
were published at the time in this
paper. Captain Drew made q
statement in which he said that
everything was done to save Wag-
ner, but owing to the high sea that
was running at the time all efforts
were fruitless and the young man
was drowned. On the voyage to
this port Wagner was accompanied
by chum, Charles Allen, who now
blames Captain Drew for neglect.
Young Allen has returned to San
Francisco and says that Wagner
was abandoned while struggling in
the waves, with good prospect of
being saved had an effort been
made to reach him.
"Harry was knocked overheard
by the BOOM" said Allen to an Ex-
aminer reporter. He was not
stunned, and as he was an excel
lent swimmer was keeping up gal
lantly. A life-buoy was thrown to
him and he reached it, so that he
could undoubtedly have kept afoat
a long time.
But no real attempt was made
TO save him. The boat that the
men started to lower was leaky
and nobody would 90 in ii. Then
we begged the captain to turn
about, but he refused. The mate
almost got upon his knees trying to
induce the captain to change his
mind, but to no purpose. It's no
USE the captain said.
cat last We had gone so far that
it would have been useless to have
looked for him. How long he
struggled alone waiting for help
nobody can tell. But it seemed to
everybody on board that there was
no excuse for abandoning him"
Aliens story will not find favor |
here for the reason that Captain |
Drew did lower boat and several |
men put off in it and searched for |
over an hour for Wagner. The &C.
were in danger of being |
,wamped, so the boat was ordered !
