A BOY SOLDIER.

Among the cadets at West Point in
the class of 1861 was a Georgia bov
named Pierce Manning Butler Young
He was TO have graduated in June. but
the startling news from Fort Sumter in
April aroused his southern blood, and

seriously wounded and hurried to his
side, but the old hero was in no mood
for tender scenes. Handing the boy
flag he told him to row quickly to the
Memphis whdrveS and nail the stars
and stripes to the talleSt Spire in the
city, then held by the Confederates.
The order was carried out in the face
of savage threats from the mobs in the
streets, who hustled and jeered the
brave fellow, and finally pelted him
with stones. This was the first deed
of real war performed by the youthful
novice. but it was not to be the last,
neither his greatest.
The steam ram fleet was an indie
pendent force not attached to the navy.
The ships did not carry heavy guns,
but were swift sailers with sharp prows
intended TO create havoc by daShing
into the enemy. They were manned by
a few seamen and a force of soldiers
armed with rifles. The titles of the
officers correspondent to those in the
army, as captain. lieutenant colonel and
colonel. In recognition of his gallantry
at Memphis. Charles Rivers was pro-
NOTED to the command of the ram Lam
caster Soon afterward he was given
a small fleet. Choosing the Queen for
his flagship he joined the naval squad
ron at Vicksburg. Grant was then
operating against that stronghold, and
plies from the rich country along the
Red river, which empties into the Mis-
sissippi below Vicksburg. He selected
Ellet to run the Vicksburg batteries
from above, get into the Red river and
establish a blockade. 1t was a most
desperate undertaking. but Ellet got
through on the morning of February
3, 1863. with his flagship, the Queen. In
passing the Vicksburg levee he rammed
a large Confederate steamer, and even
stopped to toss lighted cotton bales
aboard of her. The bulwarks of his
own vessel consisted of cotton bales.
These were red by the enemy's shells,
and had to be thrown overheard.

SILVER EAGLES.

After many stirring adventures the
Queen reached Red river and destroyed
everything afioat and along the shore.
Unluckily, a pilot, who was either
treacherous or ignorant, ran her
aground under the guns of a Confedar
ate fort. The enemy opened fire on the
ship. which was a wooden one-mak
ing every shot tell. Finally a shell cut
the steam pipe close to the boiler, let
ting out cloud of scalding vapor. The
scene was terrible for a moment, and
there was no help for it but to throw
over the cotton bales, put the wounded
upon them and trust to fate on the
waves. Ellet was the last 10 leave. He
escaped on a cotton bale and meeting
the only prize he had spared on his
cruise-the New Era, captured the day
before-he continued up the river until
he picked up all of his unfortunate
crew. Turning again, he made his way
to the army landing which Grant had
established below Vicksburg.
For this deed the boy was decorated
with the silver eagle of a colonel He
took the new steam ram Switzerland
for his flagship, and in her ran past the
Vicksburg guns in broad daylight. The
Switzerland was hit many times by fire
from the Vicksburg batteries, and a
solid shot penetrated the boiler, but she
got through and reached Farragut' S
rendezvous down the river Farragut
saw in the brave boy colonel a sailor
after his own heart, and he sent him
back up the river to bring down all his
| fleet of rams. Another young Ellet,
cousin of Charles Rivers, was placed Oh
the deck of the Switzerland and took
| her or a second raid up Red river.
Charles Rivers returned to his fleet
above Vicksburg, but the exposure and
hardships of his daring and adventur-
Gus life had undermined his frail sys-
tenn, and he was compelled to leave the
field to gain strength for another cam
paign. A few weeks after the fall of
Vicksburg, for which he had battled so
braveiy. this gallant young commander
died. His example was not lost, how
ever. and the Ellet rams, under differ
ent commanders. kept their flags on
| high until the Mississippi region ceased

MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Meeting In indianapolis Of Rcformers OF
tho Currency System.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. l1--Only few
members Of the monetary conference have
as yet arrived in the city, John p. Irish Of
California, w. n Dodge Of New York and
e. V. Smalley Of Minnesota being the
most prominent of those already here The
majority Of the delegates, whoit is thought
viii number 400, are expected this after
noon.
1t is almost q settled conclusion that a
commission shall be created by the conven
ton whose duty viii be to submit q final
plan to congress and urge its adoption by
that body. Differences Of opinion exist as
to whether this commission shall give ex.
tended hearing TO various plans for reform
ing the currency system or shall draw al
what 1t considers wisest without much
waste of time.
Whether any FREQ and fun discussion OF
finance viii transpire in the conference al
so remains an undetermined point, ther,
being not few of the delegates who hay,
expressed themselves as opposed to such 3
course, and rather favor the placing of th,
whole subject into the commission hands
with as little debate as possible The gen
eral feeling is that II will not avail mucl
to urge financial reform on the spring ses
sion of congress, owing to the tariff legisln
ton having the right Of way.

Preparing For the Inauguration.


WASHINGTON, JAN 1.-THE arrange
ments for the inauguration of President
Elect Mckinley are progressing in a man
ner very satisfactory to the committees
having them in charge, and it is believed
that the decorations, illuminations and
ceremonies incident to this event will at
least equal in beauty and improssiveness
those of any former Inauguration. A large
number of committees composed Of prom
inent citizens, each having in charge a
single feature, are working in perfect nc
cord, and the results so far obtained gives
assurance Of complete success. All OF the
money asked for by the executive commit
tee has been contributed, and a number OF
contracts already have been let
At @ meeting of the executive commit
tee Chairman Wright Of the committee on
public comfort reported that he will be
able to furnish lodgings for 100, coo per-
sons if necessary. He had already register
ed 8, 100 places where meals may be OBJ
taired AID III windows and q number Of
balconies from which the parade may be
Witnessed.
General Clay, from the committee on
military organizations, reported that there
would be in the parade one entire division
from Pennsylvania consisting Of the gov
ernor and his staff, division and brigade
commanders and their staffs; three regi-
ments of ten companies each, l2 regi-
ments of eight companies EACH one battal-
ion of four companies, one separate COM
pany, three troops of cavalry, two compa-
nies Of naval militia, in all 5000 men.
Maryland viii send her entire national
guard, and large bodies Of troops are ex-
pectod from New York, New. Jersey, Ohio,
Rhode Island, Massachusetts and other
stiItes. The cadets from the United States
Military academy ut West Point and from
the United States Naval academy at An
napolis also will be in line, as well as q
large number Of crack military organiza-
tions from different parts of the country
Applications from many civic societies and
clubs for positions are being received and
this feature of the parade will no doubt bC
unusually fine
The inaugural ball promises to be an
exceptionally brilliant affair. The decora
tions win be very elaborate, and all ol
the appointments of high order. The
contract for the banquet was let to Carl
G. Essner of Philadelphia after a spirited
competition among caterers in the cast. A

by a certain door on the eve of Jan. g, the
day observed by the orthodox church as

DUEL OF BROTHERS.
David Warris Shot Dead In His Brides
Presence by Her Former Fiance.

CRAwFoRDsvILLE Fla. Jan. 1l.-Be-
cause Of a woman, John and David Warris
fought duel TO the death near here. The
men We're brothers, and the woman in the
case was the wife OF David Warris, who
married her during Christmas week.
1t seems that the girl had been engaged
TO marry John Warfis, but without giving
q reason she Tilted him a week later and
welded David Warris. Recently John War
ris learned that the girl had been told Sian
derous stories concerning him by his broth
er David. For this reason the young wom-
an Tilted John, and out of pique "a few days
later married David.
John Warris saw his brothers wife and
related the story Of her husband S duplici-
ty. She was greatly enraged by the recital
and both agreed that David should be pun
ished for his treachery. The woman told
John he must fight David and kill him.
The couple separated and in the after
noon John went TO David's home and
charged him with treachery. David did
not deny the story, and John then insisted
that one or the other must die.
Mrs. Warris also denounced her husband
and insisted that he must fight John. Da-
vid consented and the two brothers went
to the yard, pistols in hand, and faced each
other nt ten PAGES. Mrs Warris looking
on from the veranda
John gave the signal to fire, and the pis-
tolls cracked simultaneously, but neither
was hit. At the second exchange Of shots
both men were slightly wounded AT the
third exchange John Warris right arm
was shattered, but he took his pistol in his
left hand ard insisted that the duel be con
tinued.
A fourth exchange Of shots followed,
and David Warris fell dead with bullet
through his brain, and John received a
third wound, which may prove fatal.
Seeing that her husband was dead and
her brothcrin-law badly wounded, Mrs
Warris sent for physician, to whom she
told the story Of the duel she seems to
think that her husband received only jus
tice and that She and John Wamis acted
properly
John Warris is badly wounded He is
closely guarded and will be removed to jail
if he RECEIVERS. Mrs. Wamis may also be
arrested
