PICKETT'S FATAL. CHARGE.
Was 1t Ordered by Longstrcct or Lee
What the Form,r Has to Say on the
Subject,

Subject.
Megargee, IN the Times
Ever since the suppression of the re-
bellion. historians have differed as TO
whether Lee or Longstreet was respon-
sible for the disaster at Gettysburg, the
friends of each claiming the other was
to blame. / was present on the scene
of the great battle, a few years ago,
when the great soldiers, both Union
and Confederate, who had mingled In
that bloody fray met there again for
the first time since the memorable
events of thirty years before. Long
street made little concealment then re-
g,arding his contention that it was Lee
who ordered the disastrous Pickett
charge and lost the day.
On that occasion many errors of his
tory were recorded. The guide who di-
rected the movements OF he dlstin-
guished party adopted a. bola move to
surprise Longstreet into a declaration
of his feeling on the subject. Said he.
standing beside the Confederate
leader, who held a sound-gathering
hand to his dulled ear: when the
flower Of Virglnias chivalry. Pickett's
division, arrived on the night Of the
second day. General Lee determined to
employ these fresh troops to make an
assault the next day on Cemetery HHl
under cover of terrific cannonading
by General Alexander's guns. while an
assault in the rear was to be made at
the same time by General Stuart's cav
airy, who had been sent around to
the left for that purpo>e. 1t is gen.
orally believed. General Longstreet,
that he ordered this in the face of your
protest: that he commanded Pickett to
take this commanding position occu-
pied by the Union troops"
Longstree't's face glowed with sur
pressed excitement. In voice that
showed no quaver of age. and at the
same time striking forth with his right
arm as though he would smite a foe.
he cried out: "He said. We'll strike
them right here. Well strike them
right here" And with a repetition Of
Lees words the arm. again shot forth.
The guide told how F,ci1ett's men had
marched to their death across the
wheat field.
"What Is the distance from here 10
where they emerged from the wcods?"
asked Iongstreet abruptly.
Exactly one mile and a quarter"
was the response.
"Ah!' exclaimed the veteran. Lee
said before the charge that the distance
was LAO yards. I said 1t was a mile.
I was nearer right than he. In all his
tory prior to that time there were never
charges Of a greater distance than GOO
or 700 yards. Then there was never be-
fore charge of such length"

the large demand for cCal.
Seldom in the history of the local
coal trade has work been so constant
for mine employees. Full time Is the
order at nearly all of the colleries in
this region. The cause of this pros
pec,ty is due to the slack time in the
other Pennsylvania coal regions.

HORSEMEN QUARREL.
The Loss of a Race the Start OF It-A Pitch
fork Used with oIurderous fnten..


fork Used with 1Iurderous fnten..
San Francisco, October 4.-,Nick Hall,
the well known horseman, stabbed j.
c. McWilliarns three times with pitch
fork near the Bay District race track
late last night, and the latter shot at
Hall three times without effect Both
men are horse owners and trainers.
McWniams's horse, Jefferson, ran in
a race Wednesday and failed to get
place. 1t appears that Hall. who had
backed the horse, was disgruntled over
his loss and charged McWilliams with
influencing the jockey against winning
the race. McWilliams reJaliated, and
the men separated with bad feeling on
both sides. This vas early in the eve
ming. Later they met in front Of a
barber shop on Fifth avenue. and the
quarrel was resumed. Finally Han
went to his stable, and, arming himself
with a pitchfoTk, returned 10 the scene
OF hostilities. Without the slightest
warning of his muTdeTOus intentions,
he beat his antagonist over the head
with the handle of his pitchfoTk and
iabbed at him with the prongs. Nc
Williams was felled TO the ground, and
while in this position he drew his pls-
toll and fired three shots at Hall, all go
ing wide of the mark.
McWilliams says he was daZed and
supplied at the time he shot.
Hall, standing over his victim, con-
tinued to jab the prongs Of the fork at
the body Of the PROSTATE man. He
made several savage digs into the scalp
ard tore the skin off the brow of the
right eye. He punctured the right arm
in two places, and made eight slight
abrasions on the shoulders and sides.
McWilliams was almost helpless from
the repeated blows that were showered
on him. He managed 20 save himself
considerable by grabbing the pitchfork
with his hands, but Hall is powerful
man and had it not been for the fact
that a horseman named Madison and
others came to the rescue, McWilliams
would have been entirely at the mercy
of his Infatuated assailant.
McWilliams was taken to the receiv-
ing hospital, where his wounds were
dressed. The police are searching for
| Hall.

A bold and very successful highway
robbery was reported to the police and
Sheriff Franzheim, yesterday afternoon.
1t occurred about half-past eight Thurs
day evening, at a point near the first
cut" on the Pittsburg division of the
B. e o., just across the creek from the
Judge Thompson residence. The vic
tim was Mr.. John Johnson, who lives on
the Woods farm, and he was robbed OF
between forty-nine and fifty dollars.
To a Register reporter, Mr.. Johnson
said
Il had been in the city with my wife,
in buggy, and got the cash for
county check for work done on the
roads. l stopped at relatives, in
East Wheeling, and then made a short
cut through the tunnel, for home. AS
| approached the stone spring house on
the railroad, near the cut, | saw two
men near small fire. One wore cap
and the other hat. paid no especial
attention to them, and went on until |
reached the willows, between the rail
road and the creek, opposite Judge

by man who must have stepped from
behind tree, as l saw no one. / was
knocked down and stunned, and while
lying there they went through my peck
cts, taking my money, which was in
yellow pocketbook and a small bottle
Of whisky, wrapped in a newspaper,
which | was taking home. When |
came to myself and got on my feet, l
could see no one, and after getting the
drift of things I went on home. This
morning | went back to the place with
friend. and found club, a piece OF
broken board, which was evidently the
weapon they hit me with. | think
there were two of the robbers, as while
l was on the ground, could tell they
were sort of dragging me around, but
was too dazed to do or say anything
1t is the opinion of both the Sheriff
and the police that this job was done
by the numerous loafers and buns who
have been freQuenting the territory out
the pike for some time back. Sheriff
Franzheim went out in buggy yes
terday afternoon. with Mr. Johnson,
and will make big effort to apDrehend
the guilty parties.

MARSHAL GARDENS CONDITION

Information was received from Tun-
Melton, yesterday, TO the effect that
Marshal Garden. injured in the acct
dent of a week ago. was doing well,
sleeping good at night, and eating such
food as oyster soup, eggs, milk, etc. He
is annoyed somewhat, however, with a
cough. Miss Downtain is also doing
well. but Mr.. Ohley is apparently not
progressing so favorably, or, at least,
does not stand the severe injuries so
well. It becomes more apparent each
day that the three victims named, to-
gether with Mrs. Fortney, had a very
close call.
