avail against the navy None Of these
venturesome ones returned. Some fell
dead across the defenses. Then followed
a stampede, Old Napier, bareheaded
and bleeding from d wound in his face,
leading his boys as they bounded over
the barricade and swept down the hill
at the heels Of the panic stricken blacks
1.-THE white line supporting the COL
ored troops, seeing the barrier stormed
and carried, as was supposed, wheeled
into column with the intention Of as
sailing our center, but had not crossed
half the distance in front Of Colonel
Napier when blue coated blacks and
gray 'jacketed rebels, inharmoniously
commingled, struck its right flank, fill
ing the intervals between the platoons
and bearing them along, astounded and
helpless in the suddenness of the onset.
Some resistance was offered by blue
coats who had not lost their wits, but
they could not stop the flight Of those
already maddened by fear.
"At the foot of the hill we halted,
while the Federals ran on AZ we
marched up the hill again Giltner's
men, who had calmly witnessed the af-
fair, yelled themselves hoarse with
hurrahs. oh, my old bulldogp they
screamed at Old Napier. oh, my
wildcatsP oh, my blue hens chicks =

You're gittin your rights now, boys!'
'Oh, my Kain-tuck-i-ans = they vocifer-
ated, with shrieks and yells that split
the frosty air. Dukes brigade was aft
erward called by the other commands Of
the department the Bulldog brigade,
from the epithet SHE'D by Giltner's men
at Colonel Napier as the old hero climb
ed back to his post, victorious over 20
times bis numbers. "
No other term would describe the
savage tenacity Of the handful which
fought and vanquished at the barricade,
then leaped the barrier to hang upon
the retreating enemy and rend and tear
him in his fight. 1t twas the last attack
Hopeless Of driving the Confederates,
Stoneman gave it up. One day later his
column disappeared, and believing that
he had ridden of toward Saltville,
Breckenridge hurried a detachment Of
picked men from the Bulldog brigade"
to succor the feeble garrison. They ar
rived too late, for the entrances were
all held by Stoneman's outposts.
After filling the wells at saltville,
Stoneman swept around to the lead
mines and injured them, then rode
away, pursued by the Confederates.
The trail Of the raiders back to Tennes-
see was one Of blood. Horses persisted
OF cold, and the men only kept life in
their bodies by beating them with their
arms. The sights, as described by Ma
lor Davis, equaled in horror those Of
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.
These troopers of southwest Virginia
were the first ones summoned to the aid

George Gayden is an assistant of
George II. Hapgood. who has the con-
tract to dispose of the dead animals
found in the city of Topeka. George
has only been working for short time
aud when he assumed his duties he was
given a star and to his uneducated mind
also a considerable amount of authority.
It is because George had so much con-
6dence in that star that he ls now IN
trouble. A night or two ago he had
quarrel with woman by the name of
Millie Lewis. The woman refused him
admittance to her house and George
manfully exposed his star of authority
and told the woman that unless he was
admitted he would arrest her and take
her to the police station. Then she had
Il warrant issued for Gayden's arrest on
the charge of disturbing the peace
Yesterday Gayden started out to find
Green Creager, who, he thought. melted
the Lewis woman to have him arrested.
He loaded his old musket with buck shot
and polished the barrel, and there was
determined look on his face.
About five O'clock in the evening he
found Creager burning stalks near the
Santa Fee tracks. He crept upon him
like hunter after game. He cooked
his AF0dTI du0 Cautiously ON0A

talking to Creager, when he happened to
turn round.
He saw the gun pointed in his direc-
ton. Creager saw it, too, and lodged

ready to shoot, but was finally persuaded
by Mcmillan to abandon the idea of
shooting Creager.
Creager then had two warrants issued
for Gayden's arrest, but the police have
not been able to find him. His case for
disturbing the peace is set for this after
noon in police court.

change. 526 Kansas Avenue.
Wheat-There was wild scramble
for wheat on the opening and bull news
flew thick and fast during the entire
session.
The crowd was too greedy however,
and bought too much around 81 and the
big bear piungers took advantage of the
situation to hammer prices and catch
stop loss orders.
Receipts in the northwest only moder-
ate, liberal exports, large cash engage
ments, bullish Price Current and a cold
wave predicted for tomorrow over the
entire wheat belt were the main factors
and caused considerable uneasiness
among short sellers.
The market closed rather firm at a
slight advance over yesterday. Con-
ditions warrant a good advance in the
next few days.
On any fair break we advise buying
moderately, and feel sure there will be
an advance Of atIeast ten cents during
first part of March.
Corn and oats dull and lower with
small business. Receipts of corn are ex-
pected to increase materially. and if they
do we look for good break in the Op-
tions.
Provisions opened stronger on a better
market at the yards but general real
izing caused a weaker market and a
lower closing.

SAN FRANCIsCo Feb. 27.-The Rev. c.
o. Brown became the accuser of his
judges last night In an impassioned
address, he charged the moderator. the
Rev. Dr. j. K Mclean,
with deliberate unfairness. He &C.
cused the counsel of having been
prejudiced against him and of having
admitted testimony which had no proper
place before the court. The scene which
followed this attack was one of the great
est excitement Partisaus of the accused
pastor applauded his words, and hun
dreds opposed to him stamped their ap-
prevail of the action taken by the coun-
Gil.
In the midst of the hubbub R G. Mil
Ian, whose name has been disagreeably
connected by DR.. Brown with that of
Mrs. Stockton, jumped to the platform
and in threatening words and actions,
denounced the pastor. The ex-
cited visitor was induced to re-
tire and when quiet was restored DR..
Brown was ordered to make his specific
charges, He did so and the council de-
clined to investigate them, but adopted
an unanimous vote of confidence in the
moderator.

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 27.-Judge Sic
becker in the circuit court made an or
der, which, if it is followed as a
precedent in other places, will make
glad the managers of the new
telephone companies which are spring
ing up in opposition to the Bell com
pany.
In response to the petition of B. B.
Clarke, secretary of the Dane County
Telephone company, Judge Siebecker has
issued mandate requiring the Western
Union Telegraph company to grant the
same service which it does to the Wis
consin Telephone company for tranamis-
sion of messages over its wires by the
placing of telephone in its office. Judge
Siebecker's order is an important one. The
Western Union Telegraph Co. and Bell
telephone Co. have iron clad con-
troll over the country, the effect of which
is their united opposition to ali competi-
tors. In Madison, where there is bat
one telegraph company, the benefit is
all for the telephone company, but in
places where the postal telegraph com
pany completes with the West
ern Union the benefits are reciprocal.

Leaves For Honolulu to Face PreSt-

dent DoIe's Charges.
CHICAGO, Feb 27.-A special dispatch
from San Francisco. California. says:
Rudolph Spreckels, youngest SOD of
Claus Spreckels, sugar king. has sailed
for Honolulu on the steamer City OF
Pekin.
His mission, it is said. ia TO face Presi-
dent Dole and his cabinet, by whom he
is charged with treason against the
Hawaiian government. The charge of
treason was preferred against Spreckels
by Dole after the Hawaiian uprising a
year ago. He was accused of supplying
the revolutionists with arms and funds
and in one instance giving the ex-queen
$4,000 TO aid in carrying out her plans to
overthrow the Republican government
and place her niece, Princess Kailuani,
on the throne
With such a serious charge hanging
over his head, it was believed Spreckels
would not return to Hawaiian coil and
his unexpected departure caused conster-
nation among his friends. Spreckels
will undoubtedly be arrested upon the
arrival of the City of Picking.
