SHERIDAN AND MEADE.
A Quarrel Between Them That Led
to the Crushing of Stuart


Sheridan had been sent for by Meade to
come to his headquarters, and when he ar
rived, between II and IL o'clock that morn
ing, very acrimonious dispute took place
between the two generals, writes Gen. Horace
Porter in the January Century Meade was
possessed Of an excitabe temper, which, I'M
der irritating circumstances, became almost
ungovernable. He had worked himself into
towering, passion regarding the delays en-
countered in the forward movement, and
when Sheridan appeared was at hammer and
tongs. accusing him of blunders, and charg-
ing him with not making a proper disposition
OF his troops, and letting the cavalry block
the advance of the infantry.
Sheridan was equally fiery, and, smarting
under the belief that he was unjustly treated,
all the hotSpur in his nature was aroused
He insisted that Meade had created the trou-
Bile by countermanding his (Sheridan's) or
ders, and that 1t was this act which had re-
suited In mixing up his troops with the in
fantry, exposing one cavalry division to great
danger, and rendering Intellectual all his com
binations regarding the movements of the
cavalry corps. Sheridan declared with great
warmth that he would not command the
cavalry any longer under such conditions
and said If he could have matters his own
way he would concentrate all the cavalry,
move out in force against Stuart's command
and whip it. His language throughout was
highly spiced and conspicuously italicized
with expletives.
Gen. Meade came over to Gen. Grants tent
Immediately after, and related the interview
to him. The excitement of the one was In
singular contrast with the calmness CT the
other. When Meade repeated the remarks
made, by Sheridan. that he could move out
with his cavalry and whip Stuart, Gen.
Grant quietly observed: Did Sheridan say
that? Well, he generally knows what he
is talking about. Let him start right out and
do it, By 1 O'Clock Sheridan had received
his orders in writing from Meade for the
movement. Early the next morning he start
ed upon his famous raid to the vicinity of
Richmond in rear of the enemy's army, and
made good his word.

ALABAMA HOLD-UP.
Bandits Secured Express Packages
and Jugs of Liquor.

COLUMBUS, Miss, Jan. 21-The
west-bound passenger train on the
Southern railroad was held up near
Berry, Ala, about Z o'clock tonight
the robbers stealing several valuable
express packages and two or three
jugs of liquor. 1t is supposed that
this robbery was committed by the
same parties who committed a similar
one Dec. 16 last in the same place
The scene of the robbery was within
mile of the preceding one and they
were almost Identical alike in every
detail AS the train left Berry station,
a masked man climbed into the engine
cab and presenting pistols at the heads
Of the engineer and fireman, ordered
them to obey his commands at the
peril of their lives At the same time
two other masked robbers boarded the
forward platform of the express car
At point three miles from Berry the
train was stopped and the engineer and
fireman were ordered to the express
car, where Express Messenger Ward
was commanded to open the door, The
messenger did not obey and the out
laws compelled the engineer and fire
man to break down the car door.
Pistols were thrust into Messenger
Wards face. his safe keys were secured
and the local safe quickly opened and
rified of its contents, which the express
officials say only amounted to $3.50
After securing from among the freight
packages jugs of whisky, they backed
out Of the car, covering the trainmen
with their pistols. 1t is thought they
had horses in waiting in the woods
and by that means made their escape
The express officials here deny the
rumor that the robbers broke open the
through safe, which is said to nave
contained large sum of money, as
they claim the messenger has no keys
to this safe.
a posse, headed by Chief Detective
Burns, Of the Southern Express COM
pany and Chief Special Agent Pickard
Of the Southern railway, left here on a
special train tonight for the scene of
the robbery. At Coalburg penitentiary
they secured seven blOodhounds with
which they will endeavor to trail the
outlaws. 1t is thought by the railroad
officials that tonight'S robbery was COM
nIstted by the same parties that made
$500 in the first haul a month ago, as
it is said the robbers reTide in the
mountains near the scene, which is the
cid stamping grounds of the once ia
nous Burrows gang of train robbers.

Making the Jail Secure.

Steps have already been taken toward
strengthening the new county jail, and the
wishes of the grand jury have been com
piled with. Several loads of brick have been
hauled up to the top floor in the Fourth
street elevators, and workmen will build the
necessary brick walls to keep the prisoners
in their cell room, should they succeed in
breaking from the cages.
The first point to be protested viii be the
front of the building, where a wall will be
built from the roof to the floor, six inches
thick. This is thought to be the most nec-
essary in order to keep outsiders from gain
Ing access to point over the cells, and after
this wall is built it will be inspected at
stated intervals to see that it has not been
tempered with. The balance of the safe
guards will be put in as soon as the iron
can be secured and shaped for the work

BEET CULTURE IN MINNESOTA.
Committee Says the State Is Wen

The report Of the committee appointed by
the Commercial club. of Minneapolis to in
vestigate The question of profitable raising of
sugar beets in Minnesota has reported that
the committee visited the fac.ory at Grand
Island, Neb., TO investigate the methods Of
raising the beets and producing sugar. The
conditions at that point were found 10 be
most favorable, both with the farmers and
with the factory. The average yield Of beets
per acre about fifteen tons the farmer
receiving S. per ION fer the beets at the
factory. The average cost 10 the farmer of
producing the baets about $35 per acre.
The crop under such conditions would be Of
immense value to the farmers The committee
distributed seed to farmers of different sec
tons OF the state, and from the samples
OF beets sent in by the raisers, decide that
the state is as well adapted as any in the
Union for raising sugar. In this respect the
committees report says: This country pays
out about $780, coo, coo per year for sugar that
can and ought to be produced at home. 1t is
practically the only product of the soil which
Is imported. We consume about 2 $50, 900 tons
OF sugar, not One-tenth of which is produced
In this country. The state of Minnesota alone
is capable Of producing from sugar beets
the entire amount necessary to supply this
country, which, if it were possible to be
done would give this state about $3.50 OGO. 0O0

NO DAMAGES AWARDED.
Verdict for the Defendant I'm the
COsteIIO-WinstOn Case

In the case Of Costello VS.. Winston the jury
came in after being out but an hour bringing
in verdict for the defendant. The case was
brought to recover injuries received by the
plaintiff in a game of football, at Duluth, in
1893, on the claim that the defendant jumped
upon him after he had fallen, and had dis
located his spinal chord which resulted in
partial paralysis. 1t supposed that the
defense would be that the game was a rough
one in which the defendant knew the danger
but it transpired that there were plenty of
witnesses who swore that Costello was not
touched after he fell. In the trial the pre-
ponderance of testimony was with the de-
Tense, and hence the speedy verdict.
