These teas had all been rejected at New
York and Boston on account of their
inferior grade, but were promptly re-
packed and worked into the country

there are no expert testers and apprais-

chants of Detroit and other cities, the
inferior goods passing custom inspection,

EX-GOY. RUSSELL DEAD.
Former Chief Executive Of MaSSa-

in Bed.

Quebec, Que, July 16.-Ex-Gov. Will
liam E. Russell of Massachusetts was
found dead this morning in his fishing
camp at Adelaide, Que. He passed
through Montreal in the best of health
and was then on his way to the salmon
grounds at Gaspe.
The particulars of his death are very
meager. Grand Babos, the nearest tele
graph station to st. Adelaide. is a little
place and there are very few facilities
for getting information at present.
One of the guides found that he slept
longer than usual and when they went
to awaken him it was found that he
was dead. 1t is supposed that he died
of heart disease.
William Eustis Russell was born in
Cambridge, Mass, September 6, 1857.
He came of an old Cambridge family,
Charles Theodore Russell. William re-
ceived his early training in the public
school in Cambridge and later in Har-
yard. After his gradual ton i'll 1877 he
began the study of law under his ia
Tiers eye and later went through Boston
University Law school. In 1881 he
went into the common council and two
years later was elected to the upper
branch of the city government.
In 1880 he was the successful candi-
date OF the Democratic party for the
mayOralty. Ee held the reins of munic-
ipal government for three years, having
been reelected two terms without oppo-
sltlOn. One of the features of his adj
mlnlStration was the enforcement to the
letter of the local option and liquor laws.
lie became the most marked man among
the younger element of the party and
when 1t gained the ascendency in the
state he was chosen standard bearer in a
campaign fought mainly on tariff lines
In 1883 he was nominated for COVER

though he pOlled nearly 1000 more votes
than We're cast for Cleveland for Presi-
dent. 1t was in this year that Mr. Rus

At the following election Mr. Russell
was renOminated and this time cut his
opponents majority down from 10000 to
6Ilo. In 1890 he was successful in his
third race for gubernatorial honors. He
was the youngest incumbent of the ex-
ecutive chair in Massachusetts and the
third Democrat ever elected to that
ONCE IN the state. He was reelected in
1892, though every other candidate ON
the ticket was defea ted.
Mr.. Russell was very popular with all
classes in Massachusetts and his sud-

the whole commonwealth. At the re-

he was frequently spoken of for Presi-
dent and received quite a number of bal

RITE OF COMMUNION.

Darlington Booth VIII Introduce Sacra-
menr Into Army of volunteers.
NEW YORK, Sept. 28.-Since the re
cent ceremony by which commander
Darlington Booth of the Volunteers of
America became an ordained minister
of the church, many of his friends have
asked the question as to whether in his
capacity as minister of the gospel he
will administer the rite of holy COM
munion and the other sacraments to
the members of his organization. Com
mander Booth will in the future exer
else his authority to administer the
Lords supper to the members of his
organization and the same rite will be
performed by his subordinates in the
future ordained. He says he does not
intend to form a new sect or denomina
ton.
Il found from my experience with
the Salvation Army said Commander
Booth, that a great element of weak
ness in that organization was owing TO
the fact that it was outside the church
instead of being within the church and
auxiliary to it. l find it essential that
the sacrament should be introduced in
to our service, and in order to have that
accomplished it becomes necessary that
l should be regularly ordained as
minister In furtherance of this idea
it will become necessary to ordain the
leading officers of the Volunteers so
that they have the right to administer
the sacrament to those under their
care, but under no circumstances shall
1 ordain laymen, but only those who
stand as clergymen do TO their respec-
tive churches
AS soon as Mrs. Booth, Brigadier-
General Fielding of Chicago, Colonel
Hattie Linsey of this city, Lieutenant
Colonel Wolley of Buffalo, Major Black
hurst of San Francisco and other staff
officers shall have been duly ordained,
the rite of holy communion will be adj
ministered in all the posts of Volun-
teers the first day of each month.

FORTS FOR THE HARBoR.

United States Engineers Begin Their
Work on Land Near san Diego Bay.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. pa beginning
is to be made at once on the work of
fortifying San Diego harbor under the
appropriation bill passed at the last
session of Congress. Major Charles E.
b. Davis of the United States Engineer
Corps is now here with surveyors to
take the preliminary steps. Their first
task will be to decide upon the location
of a battery of four guns with disap-
pearing carriages, to be placed on Bal
last Point, near the entrance of the
harbor. The guns will be ten-inch
rifles. Emplacements for two of them
Major Davis says, will be constructed
in a short time.
Lieutenant Deakine of the engineers
is now engaged on Point Iona max
ing Typographical survey. The party
were at work there today. The plans
also were at work there today. The
plans also include mortar batteries on
Coronado, and probably another one on
Point Iona. AS to the precise location
of these works Major Davis is some
what reticent, saying that the matter
is not entirely settled and the Secre-
tary of war is averse to publicity re-
garding it.

600, 900 Twenty Year bonds.
NEW YORK, Sept 28.-The Cuban
Junta has received an offer from an
English syndicate of a loan of $4,000,
900 for $50 1000 ,00O. payable in twenty
years. President T. Estrada Palma and
the four other members of the Junta
held a conference today as soon as the
offer was received. President Palma
was asked what, if any, action had been
taken.
I'VE have taken no decided action as
yet" he said 1--WE have received a
number of similar offer from bankers
who see that we are almost certain to
win, and we have them all under ad-
visement. We will probably accept the
best terms. The offer of the English
syndicate seems to call for a very large
interest, but the fact that they may
never get it back must be taken into
consideration. In the last year Of the

At Gettysburg year later, Coates lost
his other eye, and for gallantry displayed
on that field was breveted captain and
awarded a medal OF honor.
From South Mountain 70 Gettysburg
was leap Of nearly a year. Ant!etam,
fredericksburg and Charlottesville came
between. The Seventh, with the rest Of
the Iron brigade fougl &c Aatietam, but
was only slightly engaged at the other two
places. The fortunes of war reserved "a hot
place for it at Gettysburg in the first days
fight. Sol Meredith's Iron brigade, those
'black hated fellows" as Hills Confeder
ates called the men of the west, held the
lead when Reynolds lost his life and risked
his entire corps TO save Gettysburg heights
for Meade's army. The story has been re-
peated often. 1t stands as the brightest
page in the history of that days operations.
In forming his column to march forward
in McPherson's woods at the call OF the
brave Reynolds Meredith placed the Sec
ond and Seventh Wisconsin on the lett.
One volley of Hill's men cut down 30 per
cent of the Second regiment. In less than
half an hour IL lost 116 killed out OF 500
men engaged. The Seventh then closed
the gaps and checked the onward march
OF the victorious enemy. In the Seventh,
after fighting all day, from the west slope
of Seminary ridge Co the foot of Cemetery
NIL, the loss amounted TO 1IS killed,
wounded and missing. Regimental for
nations were often broken and the shat
tered ranks of several commands united
in order to present bold front. At one
time strange regiment came flying back
from the enemy's attack, through the line
of battle of the Iron brigade. Hoping to
rally the panic stricken men, Captain
Richardson of the Seventh rushed among
them and seized their flag. Waving it and
going forward, he appealed TO the fugitives
to face the other way. But it was useless.
The panic was beyond control. Captain
Richardson stood alone, a conspicuous
target, until the last of the stampeded sol
diers abandoned the ground, then bore the
colors, still Haunting defiance to the en-
envy, into the ranks of his own iron
hearted company, well named the Lodi
guards. "
Battlefiag episodes were numerous that
day on Seminary Ridge. Soon after Cap
tain Richardson saved the strange stand of
oolors Sergeant Richards - two letters

first hero of the Marquette sharpshoot-

h,enant Attitude OF the Dubuque Dis
trict Conference.
DUBUQUE, Qowa), Sept. 29.-At its
annual meeting at Strawberry Park
today the Dubuque District Conference
of the Congregational Church took up
the request of the Bay Conference of
San Francisco, that the action of the
Dubuque body condemning the Califor-
mans for expelling the Rev. c. O..
Brown after he had been acquitted by
a church trial on charges of immorali-
ty with Miss Overman, be rescinded.
The matter was discussed and the con-
ference, by a decisive majority, re-
affirmed it's position in the case, not
only refusing to reconsider its resolu-
tions as requested by the Bay Confer
ence, but deciding to receive Rev. Mr.
Brown into its fellowship. This action
is in direct line with that taken by a
church in this city last week. 1t is pre-
dicted that the case will be taken to the
highest tribunal in the church by the
Californians, but the Dubuque Confer
ence is determined to maintain its posi-
ton in Browns behalf to the end.

uneven, so he could easily have missed the
mark, or the wounded guardian of the flag
may have crawled away to shelter. In
looking the ground over, Richards saw two
Confederates hugging the earth for safety.
He ordered them to get up and march be-
fore him to the lines of the Seventh. Bull
let's were flying like hailstOnes over the
scene OF the sergeant's adventure and his
comrades expected to see him go down at
any moment. But the only scratch he re-
ceived was in the foot. as he showed his
heels to the enemy on the return trip with
the demoralized captives.
In the annals of Richards company E,
from Marquette county find recorded one
of those sad yet touching tragedies which
are left out of the great war histories. One
of the noblest of the Marquette boys was
Sergeant Robert ". Hubbard. His biog
rapher says of him: "a young man es-
teemed and respected by all who knew
him." We all know what that signifies
when applied to volunteer soldier.
Young Hubbard was shot through the
body and lived just long enough to whis
per a dying message into the ear of a COM
rade. Ii was this Tell my mother that
died like her boy"
In the very first charge that day, when
Meredith wrapped his iron tolls around the
men of Archer and Davis in the ravine of
Willoughby's Run, Captain Pond, the
leader of the Marquette heroes, fell with a
bullet in the breast. The men faltered
for an instant, and the captain called to
them: Press on, boys! Never mind me. "
Thy did press on, says their annalist, with
exasperated fury to avenge the supposed
death of their leader. About month aft
erward Captain Pond reappeared in camp,
wearing the bullet just where the rifle of
one of Aroher's Tennesseeans planted it
that day, and his boys begged him TO re-
sign. Not while l have strength to
march," was the answer. That didn't
happen until he had received two more
wounds at Petersburg, two years later,
when the furious fighting Of these Badger
State heroes had ended.
The Seventh fought in the Wilderness
with Hancock's corps on the Brock road,
and with that corps in three separate bat
ties en- the field of Spottsylvania In its
last fight of 1864 the regiment numb ered
only 156 muskets. Here is the list of bat
