THEIR RECORDS
Brief Sketches of the Services OF
Various Regiments.
The Goth Ill.

The regiment was organized at st. Louis,
Mo, during the months of November and
December, 1861, to serve three years. At the
end of its term of service the members were
mustered out, and the regiment, composed of
veterans and recruits, remained in the serv-
ice. Co. K was mustered out in April, 1865,
and the other companies were retained in
the service until the middle of July. The
regiment was designed as a regiment of
Western sharpshooters, and was under the
special patronage of Gen. Fremont 1t was

George w. Freeland, Troop A, LIST n. z.
Mid Rifles, Milford, n. j., says: In an
swer to question of o. w. Cooper, Troop z,
there was man named Boyle in Troop 4
or B of our regiment, who shot Lieut.. Dis
sosway, of same regiment, and Boyle was
imprisoned in Fort Magruder, near Williams
burg Va. The guard over him being little
intoxicated, one night Boyle slipped in ditch
that was near at hand and escaped. The
guard was from regiment from near York;
town, and was tried, condemned and shot
for remissness of duty. was informed by
a comrade at the time that the condemned
requested his exeeutioners not to fire at mis-
face. He also refused to be blindfolded.
The man who escaped was worthless, and
the brave fellow who had to die for his es.
cape was worth brigade of such as he.
The Lieutenant whom Boyle had shot died.
This may not be the one Comrade Cooper
means, but if he saw him shot he would
know whether he was blindfolded or not"

WAS A VA NkEE TRICK.
But 1t Won a Hard Sea Fight in the Revo
fNelD York SUM-

New York SUM-
Yankee ingenuity in sea fights was never
shown to better advantage than in the IA
nous battle between the Pennsylvania State
cruiser Hyder Ally and the British 20.gun
ship Gen. Monk, which took place near Cape
May Roads 112 years ago. In those days
those seaboard States which chose to do so
were permitted to maintain cruisers, indie
pendently of the United States Navy, for the
purpose of protecting commerce within their
own boundaries.
The commerce of Pennsylvania had been
greatly harassed by British cruisers hover
ing off Cape May and occasionally making
incursions up the bay, capturing any craft
that came within their reach. With view
of checking these inroads the State of Penn
sylvania fitted out the strongly-built mer-
chant ship Hyder Ally with Is 6-pound
guns, and placed her in charge of Lieut..
Joshua Barney, of the United States Navy,
and 100 men.
On April 8, 1882, the Hyder Ally dropped
down to Cape May Roads as a convoy to q
fleet of merchantmen that had been en-
deavoring to get to sea. While waiting for
breeze to carry them clear of the land two
English cruisers were deserted standing in
shore. Barney made signal for the mer-
chantmen to make sail up the bay while he
covered their retreat.
The English ships became widely sepa-
rated in the chase, and when one of them,
the 20-gun sloop-of-war Gen. Monk, was
passing the Hyder Ally fred broadside
and the Englishman put about to board
Perceiving the intention of the British COM
mander, Lieut. Barney instructed his men at
the wheel to execute his next order "by the
rule of contrary" as he expressed it.
Just as the ships were about to foul the
quick-witted American commander called
out in voice loud enough to be heard on
the enemy's ship: Hard aport your helm
Do you want him to run aboard of us y"
But instead of putting the helm hard aport
the helmsman threwit to starboard, bring
ing the Englishman's ojibboom afoul of the
Hyder Ally's fore-rigging.f This exposed the
English ship to a raking fire from the entire
American broadside Lashing the ships to-
gether, Lieut.. Barney for 80 minutes poured
in destructive fire upon the helpless Gen.
Monk.
Seeing the hopelessness Of his condition,
the Englishman surrendered, and was taken
into the navy under the name of Gen. Wash
ington. Barneys prize mounted 20 g.
Founders, or nearly twice the shot weight of
the Hyder Ally. The English crew num-
bered 136 men, of whom 20 were killed and
33 were wounded. The Hyder Ally had four
killed and IL wounded out of q crew of ITO.

PANDEMONIUM BROKE FORTH.
A Quiet Election Followed by a
ChariNari.


Albany n. Y, April 10.-One of the
quietest municipal elections ever held
in this city was followed by almost
pandemonium on the public streets,
when the returns showed that the
Democratic ticket had been defeated
by a tremendous majority in favor of
the pure election party, composed of
Republicans and Independent Demo-
Gratis. The battle of the day was be-
tween the Democratic organization
here, led by d. C. Herrick a supporter
of Mr.. Cleveland on the side of James
w. Rooney, its candidate for mayor,
and the honest elections party, COM
posed of Republicans and Hill Demo-
Gratis, supporting a combination ticket
composed of both members of both
parties. The result, tonight, is that the
party that has controlled the city for
fifteen years must leave the offices.
The organization party last fall gave
majority for the Democratic nominee
for secretary of state, of 1859, while
tonight it gave more than that major
