''What side you belong?" My answer:
"Your side" seemed to satisfy him.
His mistake was soon discovered when
once inside the breastworks.
We were reinforced by our brigade,
and immediately started back on the
gallop, putting the Johnnies to fight

pine tree, while his horse, "Mouse,"
had had on a nosebag full of oats. 1t
was laughable to see Blough frantical-
ly trying to catch that horse, and the
Jobnnies trying to catch him, too.
Blough fell, when he realized that dis
cretion was the better part of valor, and
crawled into the thiclSet to escape cap
ture. BE it known, however, no braver

of the Potomac, who had formerly been
a surgeon, appeared at Meade's head
quarters in high state of indignation,
and said: General, as I was riding over
here, some of the men shouted after me
and called me old Pills. and would
like to have it stopped" Meade seized
hold of his eyeglasses, conspicuously
large in size, clapped them astride of his
nose, glared through them at the officer.
and exclaimed: "Well, what of that T?
How can L prevent it? Why, 1 hear

FOUND MONEY IN A BARN.

Police Find the Hiding Place of $4,000
Said to Have Been Stolen by Suicide.
Omaha, Neb., June "A bundle of
bank bills was fished out of the wreck
of an old stable in Omaha by the po-
lice. 1t contained $4,000, the exact
amount Henry Thomas, the Pacific Ex-
press Co. watchman, stole three years
ago. The crime drove the man insane,
and, brooding over the affair, he blew
out his brains Sunday night.
Thomas had been suspected at first,
but as he continued to live in frugal
manner and attended strictly to busi-
ness, the officials finally concluded
they had done the man wrong. The
police could not imagine what the sui
eide referred to when he spoke of the
first timber in the stable having the
money, but when the first piece OF
wood in the barn was carefully exam
ined, it proved to be big cedar post,
and in the center, neatly mortised and
requiring much care to detect, the
money was found.
There is no evidence that the money
is the same that was stolen, and the
mother of the suicide will bring suit
to recover it

Reduction of Wages In Big steel Plant
Indicates that tho Amalgamated Scale
VIII be Rejected.
Pittsburg, June 2-The stories OF
the number of men who quit work
yesterday at Jones & Laughlin's steel
mill are conflicting. At the South Side
office a superintendent thought about
$50 men had quit work, but these had
not crippled the plant. The workmen
claim that between 400 and 500 have
refused to work for the 10 per cent.
reduction. The superintendent said
he would rather have the old employees
resume, but if they do not new men
will be employed to take their places,
About 1900 men are affected by the
cut.
The laborers have been paid S1.25
per day and have been cut to 81. 121S.
The present reduction is significant,
inasmuch as the Amalgamated steel
scale comes up for consideration this
month. The present scale expired
June 1. If Jones Sc Laughlin refuse to
sign the Amalgamated scale there is
no telling where the trouble will end.
w. l. King, of the firm, was asked if
the reduction did not indicate that the
new Amalgamated scale will be re-
jected when it comes up for considera-
tion and that the firm will demand a
reduction of the present wages. He
said: THAT is the assumption. We
have been hoping since last fall that
we would not be compelled to make a
reduction, but prices have had down
ward tendency and we put it off as
long as we could, hoping business
might improve. We must either oper'
ate our plant at these prices or close
down. Thousands of mechanics and
laborers apply every week for work
and it will be no trouble to get men,"

oAvALRY's BOLD MOVE.
Incidents of the Dmsh Sheridan Made
MT RichmOnd.


at Richmond.
Sheridan's cavalry on that famous
raid around Richmond in May, 1864, was
a formidable force of $4,000 splerdidly-
mounted men, divested of all incum-
brances, taking only few ambulances,
battery or two of light artillery, 10
baggage wagons, and sufficient black
smith forges on wheels to shoe our
horses. No more beautiful sight could
be imagined than Sheridan's troopers
on the march, four horses abreast, while
on the right and left, at q distance of
200 or 300 yards, i'll single file, goose
fashion, moved the Hankers. These cav
airy flanks are the length of an army
on the march. The writer was tanker
during the day.
One night while passing through an
old woman's yard about sunup, heard
her be1noaning the destruction of her
garden by the YanRs. We ventured to
inquire how long they had been pass
ing.
Laws sake! Since yesterday mornin',
an yo' han't all done gone yit. Whar
yo' all gwine?" said she.
ITO Richmond to capture jeff Davis"
we answered.
"Wall, reckon yo' all be thar when
yo' git thar"
She was typical Virginian, and had
no love for Yanks. Near Charles City
Courthouse we found unionist, named
Jesse Winnimax, and his family. He
was in hiding to keep out of the rebel
army, and his family suffered many in
dignities for their disloyaJty to the
south. After our victory at Hanover,
where our captain was wounded and my
messmate killed, we remained u!l night
in lire of battle, mounted, the horses
having been brought up under cover of
darkness by mo. As"
At daybreak, June 1, 1864. we charged
the mounted confeds, driving them to
Ashland Station, only seven miles from
Richmond, where we destroyed by fire
the station house and confederate
stores. Our carnival was interrupted
by their infantry suddenly banging into
us. We beat hasty retreat, anl halted
on the 2d long enough to bury our dead
of the 31st, after which we marched all
night in the rain, arriving on the norm
ing pL s'UDe OIu DiL IhC
road, from Richmond to White House
Landing.
Behind great intrenchments filed
with infantry we were given time 20
unsaddle, feed, cook and sleep until
toward night, when we galloped off to
the right, and were ordered to prepare
to fight on foot.
We soon put to flight some "Gray-
backs" in e strip of woods, after which
we mounted and formed in line of battle,
joining infantry on DR.. Tallow's planta-
ton. position in which we remained
for As hours, ready at any moment to
repel C. flank movement of Lees army,
while Gen. Grant was pouring hot shot
into them at Meadow Bottom and Cold

routed with great loss.

The Filibusterlng Steamer Dauntless Gave
One to the Cruiser MarbIehead Before
Being Overhauled.
Key West, Fla, June 2.-The United
States steamer Marblehead, which left
here under sealed orders Sunday, re-
turned at noon Tuesday with the tug
Dauntless in tow, charged with fill
clustering. A lieutenant of the Mar
blehead had been placed aboard the
Dauntless. Upon arriving the tug was
turned over to the customs officers.
About 25 Cubans were found on the
Dauntless. No communication with
the boat is allowed. Very little ammu-
milton was found aboard the Dauntless
and only two rifles, and report has it
that the crew threw the remainder of
the cargo overheard. The tug gave the
cruiser a lively chase down the east
coast of Florida before it was over
hauled.
Washington, June 2.-The secretary
of the treasury has received telegram
from Special Inspector Hampton at
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla, stating that he
boarded the steamer Biscayne off New
River inlet at o'clock Monday morn

ammunition and coal to the Dauntless,
and that he was knocked down, dis
armed and driven off This telegram
was referred to the attorney general
for such action as the gravity of the
occurrence may warrant. The persons
who maltreated Inspector Hampton
