ATLANTA, Ga, Oct 24--Chafles E.
Crisp. the ex-speaker OF the house of
Representatives, died here yester-
day very Suddenly and unexpectedly.
He had long been troubled with heart
disease, but had not recently been in
bad health.
A Sketch OF His Career.
Charles Frederick Crisp Fas born IN Shelf
field, Eng.s January p, 1855 while his parents
were on theatrical trip abroad, both
being actors. he obtained ais education
in the Georgia public school and served
IN the confederate army from the outbreak
Of the rebellion sill he was made a prisoner
OF war in 1884 At the close OF the war be
studied law and vas admitted to Che bar In
1856 and inlS72 vas appointed solicitor general
OF the southwestern judicial district Of GeOr-
gia- In 1871 he vas appointed judge OF the su-
perior court, which position he filed for sew
eral years IN 1882 he resigned to 60 to con-
gress
The principal work done by Bir. Crisp during
his first term in congress, which went for moth
ing at the time, was to apply himself most dill
gently to acquiring an extended knowledge Of
the business Of the house. Tbs technical am
muniticn thus stored up is what syailed him
SO much later on, especially when leading the
democratic minority in defense Of those demo-
Gratis fairly elected whom the republicans tried
% turn out in the last congress.
When Nh Crisp's third term in congress be-
gan with the meeting Of the Fittieth congress,
the house realized that Georgia had an able
one to represent her. 1t was supposed that on
the assembling Of the Fiftieth congress In 1887
Mr.. Crisp would be appointed chairman Of one
Of the committees upon which he had served.
An accidental happening, however, prevented
It. For the second time in the history OF con-
gress the seat Of the speaker was contested, and
in this case Mr. Carlisle declined to appoint the
committee on elections. After consideration
it was agreed that nine members should be
elected by the democrats and six by the TepuD-
lcans The democratic caucus unanimously
selected Mr.. Crisp 10 act as chairman Of that
committee Could he have foTeseen the Op-
portunity which was here presented to him he
would have welcomed it with delight AS II
was he accepted it as a duty, believing that
he had temporarily got of from the road to
distinction
Mr. Crisp was chosen speaker Of the Fifty
Second congress after such long and rather
animated contest with aspirants OF his own
party In caucus that the election was not made
until the houses session began. When the
Fifty-Third congress convened he was re-
elected without opposition.

e Alton westbOund train No. IS, due
here at $50 p. M, was held up one-half
mile east Of Gendsle, which is % miles
east of Independence, just after dark
last night by four masked men. The
men escaped by mounting the engine
and riding two miles to the top of the
grade just before reaching Independ-
ence. Here they abandoned it and it
was subsequently, found by the pursu-
ing train crew, taken back and the
train brought into Kansas City at 8:45
last night Not shot was fired, no
one was hurt and the only other booty
got outside of what was secured in the
express car was S25 from Fireman a. E.
Post
The train, which was in charge of
Conductor A. J. Fell and En- ineer
James Wetton, was running on time,
at full speed, when, just as it entered
Blue cut, one-half mile east of Glen
dale, it was tagged by white light
swung slowly across the track. Wet
ton reversed his engine, threw on the
brakes and brought his tFai to a stop
in the midst Of the cut, where it was
pitch dark, The high rock walls shut
ting out the faintest ray of the fading
daylight He looked out from his
engine to ascertain what was wrong,
when gTuff voice commanded: 'Git
down out O that, and be - quick
about itP'
Wetton looked into the muzzle of a
double-barreled shotgun and obeyed.
Post, his fireman, did likewise. Two
more men, armed to the teeth, Game
out of the darkness and mounted the
engine. One of them picked up the
freman's coal pick, while the other
started to cut the engine off from the
train.
Meanwhile Fireman Post was
marched to the door OF the express
car and commanded to tell Express
Messenger Andy Shields TO open up.
Shields refused and the robbers began
to batter in the door with the coal
pick. This proving futile, he shouted
to Shields once more to open or he'd
shoot the fireman. Post also advised
Shields to give way, saying that he'd
be shot If he didn't Shields finally
threw open the door, not, however, IN.
til he had thrown nearly all the loose
money into chicken coop, where it
was not found. Two men entered the
express car and Shields was command
ed to give up what he had. He pro-
tested that the big through safe had
been locked when placed aboard, and
that he did not have the combination.
In this he was supported by Wetton
and Post. The robbers rummaged
about the car, picked up two or three
packages of old jewelry and about $500
In money and left.
Going back to the engine all four
men mounted IL and started away.
Wetton shouted to them to be sure and
put on the air brakes when they
stopped or there might be smashup.
They replied that they would and
started on west toward Independence.
The engineer and fireman ran after
them up the track, but were soon dis.
tsaced. However, they continued
their chase, and finally came upon the
engine, standing with all steam up but
with brakes unrest just on the top of
the long grade which leads into Inde-
pendence. nearly two miles from the
train.

The Defense of New OrIeana.

1t seems strange that at this late day
the United States should have deter
mined that the proper location for
the defense of New Orleans and the
Mississippi valley is just where Bien-
vile suggested 200 years ago. The
United States, and afterwards the con-
federate states, spent large sums of
money on Forts Jackson and st. Philip,
nearly a hundred miles below New
Orleans, and near the mouths of the
Mississippi. These were "the forts"
which Farragut passed with such ease.
Maj Quinn, in charge of the en-
gineer's department here, protests
against any more forts in the swamp.
He recommends English Turn, only a
comparatively short distance from
New Orleans, as the best point of de-
tense. 1t was here that in 1899 the
French met and turned back the Eng
lish, who had come with a powerful
feet to take possession of the Missis-
sippi and to occupy and colonize the
adjacent territory. Bienville, who had
not then built New Orleans, saw in
this bend the best point Of defense
against an invading enemy. Maj.
Quinn decides to-day that Bienville
was right, and that the engineers who
from 1903 to 1896 have favored the
forts below and near the mouth of the
river were wrong. Weekly.
