GEORGE B. M'CASLAN.
Tribute From u Frienl-NOteS Of J.
M. Kennedy.

! see by this weeks issue Of your paper a
short notice of the death of my fried and com.
rade George 3. McCaslan. You state "he died
at the home Of his brother-in-law. Mr.. A. b.
Kennedy. who was a gallant soldier in the
18th Regiment and fought the battles Of his
country with valor and heroism.'
The compliment paid Mr.: Kennedy was de-
liant soldier. The record shows that he was
among the first to answer TO the call OF his
country. He enlisted at the age Of twenty.
and was mustered into service by Major Ev-
ans on May 14th, 1861, and was wounded on
Maryland Heights, 18th September, 1862. The
capture of these Heights made Harper,s Fer
ry an easy prey 10 General Jackson with its
eleven thousand prisoners and seventy-two
cannon two days later.
Speaking Of this capture recalls two Incl.
dents which made q lasting impression upon
me, which may be mentioned here. One was,
on that day Gen. Butler lost his deep-seated
brass bound saddle and the circumstances
connected Herewith. The other was a con-
versation had with j. NJ. Kennedy, the day Of
the surrender Jim was also member of
Bradley's company, and was younger broth
er of A. b. Kennedy, and Is recorded as being
mustered into ser service by Maj: Evans Evans & On the
at the age OF seventeen. Jim was the baby
boy of the company.
The surrender OF Harper's Ferry took place
early Sabbath morning, 18th OF September,
1852 after which, for a few hours the Confed-
crate soldiers, tired and hungry. seemed to
roam at will. Jim Kennedy asked me to go
with him and'he would show me Yankee he
had wounded in the fight. / went with him
to the hospital, where he stood over wound
ed Federal soldier and said;
"There lies man | shot,
The wounded man looked up at him and re-
piled: YES you shot me, but 1t was after
surrendered"
With an earnestne ess and sternness far be-
yond his age, jim said, Il didn't 60 into tn is
war to take prisoners"
Although it occurred nearly thirty-three
years ago, this incident is as indeliby i'm
pressed on my memory as the battle and cap
ture of Harper's Ferry Itself.
Two days later, twelve miles up the river,
the great battle Of Sharpsburg was fought.
and j. NJ. Kennedy was Killed.
| believe the cause for which he fought and
died was as dear to him as lite itself, and that
he laid himself willing sacrifice upon the
alter of his country. J. a. ID.

HAS TWO HEARTS.
A Physician's Report ON the Most Remark
able Case of william King.

William King the negro who has
two hearts and is able to control the
pulsations of either at will md who
occasionally excites the medical associa.
tions of the Atlantic coast by making
an exhibition Of himself, has been ex-
amined by DIR. 9. A. Jackson of Pitts.
burg, who reports as follows:
1.-THE man has two distinct hearts,
connected only by the larger blood ves-
sells and n very elastic pericardium. He
has the peculiar power Of moving either
of these two hearts independently aud
can hold one up under tho ribs while
tile other is let down into the groin,
where IL can be felt pulsating even more
plainly than when In its natural posi-.
tion. He can stop one or both from beat
ing for a period Of one minute and
probably longer, but he has been told
that to extend the time beyond that
limit would probably endanger his life.
The stoppage Of either heart silences
the pulse beats on the corresponding
side, but does not affect the other. II
both are stopped ut once. no pulse beat
can be detected In any part Of the body.
1.-THE left heart Is the larger Of the
two, being about the size Of cocoanut.
which is very large for man Of Kings
size The right one is no larger than
a good sized goose egg.
when one heart Is down In the
flank and tho other in normal position,
they are separated by distance Of about
IA inches. As they lie ordinarily in the
chest they are only about two or three
inches apart.
"The most remarkable thing about
Kings case is the fact thnt each heart
appears to be complete In all Its details
and furnished with sufficient blood for
use OH its own side Of the body.
''In some species Of lower animals
there are two distinct hearts, but in
them the right side sends blood 70 the
lungs, while the left does the work for
the general circulation Of the whole
body"

ments. and the meeting by viva voce vote

all parties should be accorded watchers at
the count; that a penalty should be pro-
vided for failure to carry out the law re-
quiring curtains at the booths. PROPOSE

pleted, sug gested that a resolution might
be adopted sustaining the action of the eau

Indiana who fought for the Union, and
that it had been determined to- mark the
principal war periods by statues of repre-
sentative men in them, was followed by the
subjoined resolutions which were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved. That the statues should be, as
far practicable, of soldiers who actually

not be in keeping or harmony with the de-
sign or purpose Of the State soldiers and

MIR. sHERwOoDs CONCERT.
The Noted Pianist Plays to an Appre
ciative Audience at Y. NJ. G. A. Hal IL.

The Noted Pianist Plays to an Appre-
cintive Audience at Y. vi. G. A. Hall.
Mr.. William HI. Sherwood one of the best
known of Americas pianists, assisted by
Miss Mary NJ. Shedd and pupils of this city,
gave a concert last evening at Y. NJ. c. A.
Hall. Considering the way in which In
dianapolis prideS herself her musical
culture and love of that particular art,
there only a fair audience present
two rows in the gallery and the main part
Of the room being filled. Mr.. Sherwood has
played here several times, and essentially
the same programme he gave last night.
He has a wrist of steel and fingers Of vel
vet. He can, with the magic of his touch,
bring forth any quality the piano is capa-
BILE of producing it, Mr.. Sherwood's
technique is a marvel and the manner in
which his hands placed ON the keys
has been the subject of many photograph.
especially in musical journals There was
confusion in the hall during the first
number. which evidently disturbed the plan
ist. for he looked toward the corner from
which the noise proceeded, and finally had
to silence the noise with sound not ex-
actly definable, but producing the desired
result.
Mr.. Sherwood played the 'sSonate Appas-
sionate, OPP. 81" Beethoven; ''Scherzo and
Funeral March from Senate in B Flat
mo 3 of Chopin and the .Raff Polka de
la Refine" After the last three he was
recalled, and again after the selections
from Schumann's Carnival" The piano in
softer passages answered the players touch
correctly but in the fortissinlo there was a
metallic sound and Straining of wires which
told 1t was not equal to the hand of such
master, fact which interferes with the
pleasure of the listener. Mr.. Sherwoods
other selections sLiebestraum,' of List
''Medea, by himself and "Isoldens Liebes-
Tod Wagner-Iiszt, and Faust Waltz"
Gounod List, completed a varied and Won
fully executed programme. Mr.. Sherwood S
reputation has been we'll earned. and as one
critic said of him: IF he had come from
Europe instead of being an American the
American people would rave over, him"
AS far as mechanical skill goes he has ap-
parently reached the summit of human
possibility
Miss Mary NJ Shedd. who is but little
known in this city, having heen here but
short time. assisted in the programme with
three of her pupils. Miss Fora Bartmes
sang the swiss Echo Song, by Eckert.
1t is familiar to many. There were no
rough passages. and the firm. smooth and
tempo was slower than 1T is customary to
sing 1t, but the expression atoned for lack
of rapidity. Altogether it was commenda-
BILE effort. Miss Bartmes also sang Angels
Ever Bright and Fair" from Messiah
and a lullaby by Lister very credital3ly
Mrs Mabel Glenn Hunter, who sang Can
zonetta," from Salvador Rosa, and ballad
ply and without effort, and pleased the
audience so well that she was recalled.
MIR Algernon Bradford sang who Treads
the Path of Duty from 1.-THE Magic
Flute" The accompaniSt for the evening
was Miss Olive Van Camp.

Drank TOO Much for His Safety.

Yesterday afternoon George Burns became
pretty well Intoxicated and, went to barrel
house at No. Isl East Washington street,
but was refused admittance by the proprie-
tor. This angered Burns, and he immedi-
ately signified desire to whip the proprie-
tor, who dared to so contrary to his wishes.
A police officer was summoned, but Burns
had departed He was found shortly after
ward by officers Wheeler, Thomas and Bal
com. When taken to. the police station he
was thought to be the man who stole an
overcoat from the livery stable of William
day The thief had taken the coat to a
pawn shop on East Washington street,
where 1t was recovered by the detectives
only few moments after it was pawned. A
description of the man was obtained, and
Burns answered every detail of this descrip>
ton. 1t is supposed that he pawned the coat
with the proceeds
