Morehead Citk, n. c., December 10.
Editors Messenger:
1 see in your paper of December 9Th a
letter from General BraXton Bragg 10
his brother. Thomas Bragg, dated Janu-
ary 20. 1860, giving an account of the bat
tie and capture of Fort Fisher, in which
he says: The most of the officers ana
soldiers were dunk in the boomprooLS
and the yankees wakes in and took pos
session.: n the people Of Wilmington
were clamoring for the yankees to come.
This is too ridiculous to reply to; buL
as one of the defenders OF Fort tlSneT l
will say that the statement so Tar as II
refers to the battle and capture OF the
fort is false, as is also the d~isloyalty Oh
the people of Wilmington, to the south .
General Terry in his official report Oh
the battle and capture OF Fort flSNei,
saws that he lost in that engagement
LAS officers and men, which SHOWS d
brave and determined resistance, OF a
small force of only about 1900 confeder--
ates. His statement of the conduct OF
General Hoke's troops above Sugar Loaf
and his withdrawal after his clothes
being pierced by yankee bullets may De
true. But his criticism of General WHIT
ing and the officers and men in the bat
tie of Fort Fisher is incorrect. If Gen
| eral Bragg had have done his duty &c
| General Whiting, and sent him reinforce
meuts when he asked for them, the re-
suit would have been different.

Feats Of Strength Performed by q Three.
Year.Old
(Chicago Dispatch.)

Matt Deegan, Jr., is undoubtedly the
strongest three-year-old in Chicago.
He is a handsome child, with round
cheeks, big blue eyes, and a firm chin
which is cleft by a deep dimple. He is
as tall and as well developed az most
children Of twice his age, with a full
chest and strong, firm legs and arms.
At Is months this little Hercules
propelled a bicycle up and down a side
walk Of Rush street, scattering Pc
destrians as he rolled past AT two
and a Ia years his arms and back
were strong enough for him TO pull a
buggy in which three men were seated.
Little MATHS greatest feat Is as fol-
lows: A heavily built nan of his &C
quaintance was visiting at the Deegan
home. Suddenly the man felt some
thing tugging at his legs. and the next
thing he knew little Matt had thrown
him off his feet. Since that time Mats
father mas rather frowned upon his
feats of strength. His father Is a well
to-do plumber and politician.

Now. as to the alibi, proved by vari-

so lacking in capacity to meet shreWd

He was arrested in Arson county,
carried at once on the train to Rock

from the train by officers, known Well
to Miss Matte as such, h~andcuffed IN
to her presence, hurriedly, and with
no one else to stand beside him, and
the identifying was over with n he
on his way to Raleigh. No mark, no

today, in speaking of the dynamiting
affair and the report that several men
had been dismissed for expressing SYM
pathy with Oliver:
such a statement is a n eXaggera ton,
for there is not such a member here
who feels any satisfaction at such an
attempted destruction of life and prop
erty. There are not 100 or so such men
at the home, and do not believe there
are ten SUCH
Colonel" Queried the reporter, cit is
reported that an opportunity will be
taken of tie present condition of af-
fairs to discharge all members who teS-
tilted against Colonel Smith during the
Investigation Is there anything in

There is not" said the colonel mo
witness shall be prosecuted or punished
for any testimony he may have given
before an investigating committee, and
will only be punished for disobedience
of the rules of the home or the laws of
the land. I shall protect every member
in his rights and shall permit no one
to be imposed upon"
Nothing has been done toward re-
moving the debris from Gov. Smiths
residence as it is the intention to al
W the board of managers to make a
formal inspection of the building before
anyt hing is done to it.

DEBs' SOCIALIST COLONY.
Candidates for the Colony VIII be Ex-

Chicago, June 17.-Radical socialists
oppose the plan of Eugene V. Debs to
found a socialist commonwealth.
Thos Morgan, a prominent socialist,
declares Debs has no authority to
pledge the trades unions of this city to
the movement.
Mr.. Debs hopes to start the first de-
tachment of socialists towards the state
of Washington in a few days. Other
attachments will rapidly follow with a
view of converting that state into an
ideal commonwealth of socialism. Thou
sands of men are being enlisted in the
new army.
EVERY mail has brought me letters
from all parts of the United States. p"
said Mr.. Debs, telling me who are
ready to go. 1t is impossible to tell
the exact or approximate number, as
writer's do not say how many there are
in each party, but have estimated that
within three months loo, 900 men could
be enlisted. -
Mr. Debs will be the ruling spirit.
With the committee will meet Professor
Frank Parsons and A. S. Edwards, rep
resenting the socialistic principles of the
Brotherhood of Cooperative Common

HYENA ~ CEMETERY.
Escapes From Lincoln Park, Chicago,
and Terrifies a Neighborhood.

and Terrifies a Neighborhood.
Chicago. June IA man-eating, grave
digging hyena in Graceland cemetery to-
day made it risky for visitors to that To-
cality. The animal escaped from Lincoln
park yesterday, and has established a den
somewhere in the north side of the Gene
terry, and so far has sluded capture The
cemetery is in thickly populated dis
trict. which is in terror. for the Wild
cries Of the animal were heard all through
the night.
1t gnawed through the heavy wooden
door of its cage. and when the keeper
made his rounds yesterday morning the
cage was empty. There was
ragged hole in the door, and the marks Of
the ferocious beasts teeth were all over
the wood. Early this morning the ani-
NAL was seen in the cemetery, slulking
among the gravestones. Armed with
snares. slaves and clubs, band of keep
ers hunted the hyena, but for a long
time the only traces of the animal were
the holes he had dug into graves in an
attempt to get at their contents The
park keepers and employees of the ceme-
terry surrounded the place, gradually
drawing to a central point, but the hid
ing place of the animal was not discov-
cred. Several times during the day it
suddenly appeared before visitors to the
cemetery, to their great terror. While
the hunters were trying to corral tho
beast the women and children were order
ed to the big waiting room in the south
west corner of the park, where they hud-
died, frightened and trembling. The
hunters discovered the hyena and tried to
corner him. He broke through their lines
and ran skuIking straight toward the
waiting room. Then he turnd east and
skirted the cemetery till he came to a hole
in the fence and skipped through into
the part where the graves are located
He is still at large.
