A certain knight of the quill In a Gov.

Mr.. A. returned, looking very dis

how he Jared, he pulled a very long
face and said he had had the melan-

Enrique Morgan Travelled Ear II
Died a Major General.
In Girardot, a little village on the
eastern bank Of the Magdalena River,
In Colombia, South America, there died
on December 2 last q true soldier OF
fortune, Enrique Morgan, a major gen.
eral in the Colombian army, but a ma
tive of West Virginia.
During the war of secession In tha
United States he had been a faVorito

tary inaction. he Joined q party OF
Greek surveyors in the soudan, with
whom he learned something OF practi-
cal engineering, but contracting small
pox and supposed to be dying, he was
abandoned by his companions.
Upon his recovery he found that the
natives had robbed him Of everything
and he became a tramp" in Northern
Africa and Southern Europe. TOO
proud to apply to diplomatic or con.
sular officials for assistance. he walked
to the coast, worked his way across
the Mediterranean Sea and thence
through Italy. and France to the port
Of st. Eazaire.
Seeing a ship advertised to sail for
America, he offered to work his pas
sage across the Atlantic, which onef
was accepted. The vessel landed MIN
penniless In Barranquilla, Colombia,
where he enlisted as a soldier. BY dih'
of hard work and close attention TO MS
duties, he was successfully promoted
through all the grades Of corporal, ser
geant, lieutenant, captain, major and
colonel, and finally was appointed oriS'
adler general and chief Of engineers
In this capacity he constructed WIN
the labor Of troops, the greater part OIL
the railway between Girardot and Jun
tas de Apulo, as well as the dlmcui
cart road through the cordillera OF
Quindio.
During the revolution Of 1885 he cap

THE WORK OF spoTTERs.

Edward Lyle has returned from Il
weeks campaigning tour along the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railway. He says the
people are thoroughly awake to the situa-
ton there, and that every device men
tionablc is being used to cocrce the voters
into voting for Mckinley. He says the
detective spotter scheme is being played
i'll that section. The scheme, he says, is
to poll the voters along the line of the
road previous to election, and when they
leave the polls after having voted, take
their aflidavits. This they hope to use in
case the return of the judges not tallying
with the poll as given in by the spoilers.
