Origin OF "HoId the Fort"

Ep1ToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Please give
the origin of the song " Hold the Fort" and
oblige MANY COMRADES, Forest City, Mo.
THE song was suggested by an incident
of the battle at AllatQona Pass, Oct. 5, 1864.
Hoods forces were making a savage attack
to get possession of the valuable stores col
lected ut that place. and the little garrison
was having q desperate time holding the
assailants at bay. Gen. Sherman signaled
by flags to Gen. Corse, who was in command,
"Hold the fort; I'm coming. ."-EDIToR

FILLING In MILL CREEK.
Men Begin Driving. Piles for the
Sewer-GOOd for Real Estate.

The work of wiping Mill Creek out of
existence has begun. Property owners
who have entertained a fear that some
thing would happen to stop the work,
were delighted this morning when they
found that Contractor Van Keuren had
begun in earnest.
On the north side of Grand street, IN
the creek, a pile driver is in operation,
and unusually long and heavy piles are
being river through the many feet of
~decomposed animal and vegetable mat
ter which forms the bed and banks of
the creek. The piles are being driven
to form a substantial foundation for the
big pipe that is to be laid. AS soon as
the piles are driven the work of filling
in the creek is to be begun. The filing
in will begin at the Wayne street end
of the creek. In this way it is expected
toforce a great part of the loose mud to
tide water.
Health Inspector Benjamin favors fore
ing the stuff to the bay if possible. He
believes great danger would be caused
by disturbing the decomposed matter.
and particularly if it were carted through
the streets and placed on scows.
The work will be finished by the
spring if he weather be at all favorable.
A big boom in real estate is expected to
follow the filling in of the old creek.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Z, 1S95.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert William Shufeldt died at
his residence here at half-past ten this
morning. He entered the service as a
midshipman in 1889, and his first cruise

While out of the navy he organized the
steam commercial marine of New York.
AT the outbreak of the war he volup-i
teered his services and was appointed to
command the Quaker City. He was or
dered to Havana, where he performed
great services. He was appointed con-
sul-General of the Spanish colonies, n

a delicate message to Mexico. Afterwards

quested byL Hung Chang of China to
command the Chinese Navy, but he re-
fused. In 1883 he was promoted to
~Rear-Admiral, and retired in 1884. Since
that time he has spent much time in
Korea, where he had an attack of pneu-
monia, from which he never fully re-
covered. His health failed, and the end
came today. He leaves an dopted
daughter and two sons.

ROYAL BLOOD DISCRIMINATING.

h Hapsburg blood has run out, and
peror's nephew and heir, proves to have
dangerously weak lungs, as now report
ed, there is no near kinsman equal to
the burden of the throne. The Italian
heir is an understood man who will never
marry. The Russian heir is dying of
consumption. The Hohenzollern,s blood
is tainted, as the Emperor's infirmities
show. The H%apsburgs have no sound
heir. The boy Spanish King is the only
life between the cranks and libertines of
the Spanish Bourbons who stands next
in male succession, though his crown
descended this century in the feale line.
Half the French Orleans Bourbons used
speaking trumpets. OF such is the royal
caste in Europe.--Philadelphia Press.

await the official declaration of the vote by

They will be placed IN the market shortly
after the canvassers' meeting, or before Jan

OOLT-VAN ALIEN SCANDAL.


PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. Z, 1Sa5.-The
motion filed by Colonel Colwell, of counsel
for Colonel Samuel Colt, for a stay Of pro-
ceedings in the matter of taking affidavits in
brief of Mrs. Colt at Conway, N. H, tomor-
row, did not avail. The contention was that
the commission had been ~irregularly issued,
and tina sufficient notice had not been given
under it to Colonel Colt or his counsel to APP
pear at the time of the taking of the affidavit
of Mr.. Gray. the proprietor of Gray's Inn, at
jackson, N. III.
The argument of Col. Colwell was that the
hearing was held SO late OH Saturday that
word could not be got to Commissioner
Wood at Conway in time to enable him to
get his official notice here on Monday morn
ing, but Mrs. Colts counsel said that they
rushed te%legraphic instructions to Mr..
Wood, and that he in turn rushed his official
notice bach to Col. Colt. This could not be
converted and the motion was denied.
The counsel on both sides left Providence
at ten o'clock this morning for Boston on
their way to Conway. They will return to
morrow night, SO that it is probable that Mr..
Gray's affidavit will be taken tonight.
