James Maxwell and Henry Golden, both
OF Company E, Seventeenth Illinois, who
were detailed TO gather up tho wounded.
Maxwell and Golden came upon General
Johnston lying on his left side, with his
hand under his check.
Seeing that he was not dead, the pair
attempted TO raise him up, when he gave
few gasps, stretched himself out, and with
few quivers Of tho lips Albert Sidney
Johnston waa dead. His rank and identi-
ty were discovered, and while Maxwell
was calling an officers attention TO the
fact Golden Slipped the watch from the
generals pocket into his own and said
nothing about it except to his comrade
Maxwell
After the battle.of Shiloh, Golden obtain
cd furlough. He took the watch with
him as II trophy, 1t being quite curiosity,
and be had no trouble in borrowing 500
on it from William Dwight Holbert cash
ier Of the First National bank OF Canton.
The watch remained in Mr.. Ho.bert's pos
session until tho war was over, when
Golden went to work on the farm of John
Fisher, q brother-in-law Of Maxwell.
While in Mr.. Fishers employ no induc-
cd him to redeem the watch. Mr.. Fisher
carried tho watch until the case wore very
thin; then he gave It to his wife, in return
to bo given at her death 10 the children as
q relic obtained from ore of the leading
generals and commanders in chief OF Gre Of
TIE greatest battles ever fought iii this
Land
Matters remained unchanged until Nay
23 1893, when Mr.. Fisher became the
victim OF u gold brick swindlor. Instead
of employing u detective for the purpose
OF recovering tho money, Mr.. Fisher EN-.
ploycd one to bring the guilty party TO
justice and punish him for the crime. De
tectivo John II. Norris was employed.
Hc soon wired Mr.. Fisher that his man
was in Jail. MIR. Fisher and his wife visit
ed Richmond. Both fully identified the
man.
They then visited tho Votunda of tho
capitol, whore hang photos Of the leading
Confederate officers, among which Is that
Of General Joseph E. Johnston. Mrs.
Fisher stated In the hearing of some by
ISLANDERS that she had the watch with his
name on 1t that was taken from his dead
body at the battle Of Shiloh.
She was informed that 1t was General
Albert Sidney Johnston and rot Joseph E.
Johnston who was killed as Shiloh. Moth

LONDON, April 0.-In an editorial on the
local veto bill, introduced in the house of
commons yesterday by Sir William Yer
non Harcourt, The Times says: Sir
William is probably under no illusion as
to tho fate Of tho ridiculous matter.
While the farce Is being played he thinks
he may rs well go to I'll lengths, yet the
cool cynicism shown in the exemption of
England is only foretasto OF what will
become tho practice of unscrupulous poll.

1T BELONGED TO CONFEDERATE GEN.
ERAl ALBERT SIDNEY Johnston.

Taken From Ills Body After the Battle of
Shiloh, 1t IIns Passed Through Various
Adventures--Vi Soon y,e Restored To
His Relatives.
After tho lapse Of 33 years tho gold
watch taken from the dead body OF the
Confederate General Sidney Johnston, nt
the battle OF Shiloh, on Sunday evening,
April q, 1869, Is now on fair way To DO
returned To his relatives. Tho circun-
stances Of the taking of tho watch and Its
recovery read like tale Of fiction.
About 3o'clock Sunday afternoon, April
q, General Albert Sidney Johnston, one Of
tho bravest and greatest soldiers this conn
try over knew, was in advance before tho
troops Of Brcckinridge and Bowen. He
had addressed them few moments before
in n few brief words and given tho order
10 charge near what was afterward
known as the Hornets Nest"
When General Johnston had given the
order and before he hao gone 40 rods, either
piece of u shell or mimic ball cut cash
in his right leg. IIc supposed 1t to bc only
"a flesh wound and paid no attention to 1t,
but the fact was the missile had cut an ar
terry, and as the wounded commander rode
on, as ho supposed, TO victory, he was, in
fact, bleeding D. death.
Becoming faint from loss OF blood, he
turned to Governor Harris OF Tennessee,
his brothcr-in-law, and remarked Il fear
am inortally wounded" The next mo-
mcnt he rcelcd In his saddle and tainted
Governor Harris took him In his arms and
bore him n short distance to peach Or

The prince Is below the medium height

facial beauty of his mother. Queen Mar

For II time Ii was enld that tho future
queen would DO II daughter of the house Of

unfoundod. Greek and Russian princcsses
were mentioned, in turn, and then came

BIGGEST WHALEBACK MADE.

The big whaleback steamship CITY
of Everett, the largest vessel of the
type ever built, which was recently
launched from a state of Washington
shipyard, has been put on the line be-
tween San Francisco and Panama as
an experiment to determine the value
OF the whaleback type of steamship in
the ocean-carrying trade, from the
STANDPOINT of economy and speed, as
Well as seaworthineSs. If this boat
proves a success another whaleback
Of equal or greater size will be built,
and a regular line established over
this route. The company backing the
experiment believes that better time
and quicker dispatch can be had bv
the whaleback than by the ordinary
type of steamship. The first expert
mentS with the whaleback dis an
ocean-going vessel We're not success
full, but they were made some years
ago, and it is believed that the de-
fects then discovered have all been
remedied.

Of a Zeuglodon of prehistoric times.
The bones were dug out of the earth
about twenty miles southeast OF the
town Of Enterprise, Miss, but in the
state Of Alabama. This spot is about
125 miles north Of the gulf of Mex
leo. Last November a large number
of these bones were dug up and
shipped to Washington. In most
cases it was found impossible TO take
out the bones without applying nu-
merOus bandages. The greater num-
Der Of bones received at the museum
were imbedded in rocks weighing
from ten to hoo pounds. When the
scientists got back to Washington the
work of digging the bones out of the
rocky beds was begun. This work re-
Quired much care on account Of the
peculiar laminar formation Of the
bones and their very brittle condition,
which caused them to crumble or
large pieces to chip off at a very
slight blow of the hammer or chiseI.
In life the ZeuglodOn reSembled the
seal and whale and perhaps was the
original Of the sea serp 1t. In shape
it was more than fifty feet long and
very slender with a flexible neck. |
When mounted this specimen will be
about fifty feet long; the narrow skull |
is about five feet long; the teeth are
