Soldier Finds His Fingers.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 14-John Sam
mons is a responsible man, a good far
mer who stads high among his neigh
bors, and whose reliability has never
been brought into question. He was
a brave soldier of the Confederate army
and was one of those who participated
in that bloody tragedy on the banks OF
the Chickamagua creek on Sept. is, 1868
During the hottest of the engagements
Summons found himself in an exposed
position, with shot and shell playing
high revel around him. and he sought
such shelter as was afforded by large
oak tree which was in direct line OF
fire. While handling his piece a bull.
let struck his gunstock and cut off the
two first joints Of the forefnger Of the
right hand as clean as a knife could
have done it. The dismembered fin.
gers dropped among the leaves and as
he was more particular about saving
the balance OF his body than about res.
cuing as little a thing as a finger, he
made the best Of his way out of the
field, stanching his bleeding hand a.
best he could.
The war was fought to a finish and
Sammons came back home and went to
work. charging up his MANNED hand to
the losses of the Confederacy. Some
time ago he decided to revisit the bat
tie ground, which he had not seen in
thirty-two years nearly, and so he be-
took himself to Chickamagua and start
ed to stroll over the battlefield. The
tree where he stood when wounded &C.
cupied such conspicuous position
that he found little difficulty in locating
1t, with all the scars and knots in its
rugged trunk, caused by the flying mis-
siles of death. Having found the tree
he put himself in the same position in
which he was standing when wounded.
and then it occurred to him to look for
the bones of the missing finger. Scratch
ing around among the leaves. much to
his establishment, he found the bones
where the finger had fallen. and they
correspondent exactly with the finger
he'd had lost. They had lain there un-
disturbed ever since that dread day.
and it was with a strange feeling that
he took them, and, after establishing
their identity to his perfect satisfaction
wrapped them up and took them away
with him as a strange souxenir OF his
wartime experiences. Mr.. Sammons
has them in his possession now and will
preserve them as an evidence OF the
fact that he found them on the battle.

and Pacific RecivereshIp Case.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Aug. 14.-In the
Atlantic and Pacific receivership case
today. the affidavits of Francis S.
of the Atlantic and Pacific bondholders
committee were read. They charged
the present receivers with unjust, I'M
fair and dishonest treatment of Allan
tic and Pacific affairs especially as to
charges for equipment and expenses
and in maintaining the division of
through rates which the receivers found
in force when they came into office.
A. F. Walker. one of the receivers, in
an affidavit denied minutely and en-
phatically all the charges made against
the receivers and explained in detail
the untruth and unfairness of state
ments in plaintiffs affidavit. A large
number Of other affidavits are to be
read.
Receiver Walker disclaimed any con-
nection with the Atchison reorganiza-
ton committee and maintained that the
receivers had at all times acted solely
as conscientious agents of the courts
having Jurisdiction. He also claimed
particularly that the question of the
proper division of rates was now in the
hands of special master for full in
qufry, the present plaintiffs being by
stipulation parties to the reference and
able to call it up and push it to finish
at any time.

among the lesser officials, however,
that the suit would in no way effect the
plans Of the reorganization committee.
