ing battle, Five Forks the pivotal one
and Appomattox the sequel. His in
tereSt in the affair was so keen that
at first I concluded that it was the
only battle he knew much about, even
at secondhand. and that he was some
thing of an enthusiast, not to say a
crank" upon that subject. He had
upon his tongues end the full particu-
lars of the storming and capture of
Fort Stedman and the batteries, and
found in me a most attentive listener.
But l was able to surprise him, just as
l had surprised General Gordon, by an
incident of the attack upon Fort
Haskell. l said TO him that there
was one hero among Gordon's men
who deserved a monument for
his gallantry that morning, and
that it would give me great pleasure
TO take part in erecting one as a triH-
ute to American valOr. Il mean the
rider of the white horse" said I, look
ing Mr.. Grady calmly in the face, puz-
zled 10 note that l touched upon some
thing wholly new to him, for the con-
federate white horseman of that day
was among the most vivid recolIections
of myself and my comrades. It seemed
strange TO me that a southerner as well
informed as Mr.. Grady had proved to
be upon that picturesque battle should
not catch at once upon this reference.
l felt at the outset that il was Ike
carrying Goals to Newcastle to pour
into the ears of a southerner an account
of deed of southern lleroism upon the
battlefield, the bravest had ever seen,
and l supposed one of the best known
in the eneny's camps. But Mr. Grady's
interest increased as l proceeded. and l
told the story as though l was the sole
witness. Said l, Il mean that major

The veteran then ran over several
names similar in sound to the ons

That's it exactlyI' said my man.
Major Grady-and deadr his soldiers
exclaimed as soon as they saw US
bring his limp form toward the flag of

Some further particulars l learned and
communicated to Mr.. Grady 10 aid IN

there be any uncertainty upon that
point. He was killed by a bullet
thrg-gh the right temple. and upon
his breast beneath the coat was a
simple device of steel armor sometimes
worn by mounted soldiers as life
preserver. That armor bore innumer-
able dents. showing that he had been
a target for many clever marksmen,
but the fatal bullet had at last sped to
an unprotected SPOT.
Mr.. Grady was so overjOyed at the
result of our chance meeting that
have always believed he lonS had
nursed the morbid suspicion that posi-
bly, his father had not borne himself

not understand the varying fortunes
of war, Il must have seemed strange
that the fate of one so well known as

and hero among his Georgians. should
be shrOuded in mystery. From that
interview | went away with greater
pride in the fact that L had withheld
my shot that morning than over any
Soldierly act of nv life.
And now all this furnishes an ex-

sight; yes, carried away by my admir-
alton for the hero who was the central
figure of it all. l lowered my piece, dis

from the embrasure, to be met by the

me at the time, I have since thought
that l must have had a feeling that it
would be inglorious to snuff out that
flame of peerless courage with a pitiful

The sergeant gave me look of min
gied pity and contempt. He had tried
his own hand and sent several of his
best shots, one after the other to the
enbrasure to try TO bring down the
man en- the white horse, and of course
he felt chae.rined TO he obliged to con-
TESS to the gallant artillerymen who
were so valiantly fighting that gun that
he had no niarksm9n equal to the emer-
gency. However, the incident was soon
forgotten. for we had a hot time in re-

A NEW HISTORY.

A book which should be of value
to all who are interested in the leligi-
Gus history of the valley and to Pres
hytcrians in particular has just come
from the press under the title of "A
History of Lu2crne Fresbytery" by the
Rev. Jonathan Osmond Of Tacoma,
Wash. This ecclesiastical body was
organized in 1Si3 as missionary
presbytery and was merged into the
present Presbytery of LaCkawanna
in 1870. Included within it's boundar-
les was the whole of the anthracite
coal regions. The book is not a dry
list of names and dates but touches
the historical industrial and CONNER
cial development of northeastern Penn
sylvania at many TOints. AS a COM
pedium Of local history the work Is
invaluable. The writer has given the
most careful attention to details even
iu regard to the early days Of the
churches, and has made the past live
again in his pages. His work has been
entirely labor of love and the book
shows that he has been in love with his
task AS pioneer when this was
missionary ground, he speaks from per-
sonal acquaintance with such men as
the Revs. John Dorrance. D. D., Rich
ard Webster, NJ. j. HickOk, d. d..
It. p. Hunt, n. G. Plrke, ID. D., S. c.
Logan, ID. D., A. A. Hodge, ID D., and
many others. The book is most beauti-
fully printed and bound and contains
S44 pages with uncut edges. 1t comes
from the press of Baur & Son, Wilkes
Barre.

CAVING HAS STOPPED.
Hole Made by Dropping OF the Surface
FiIled-Damage Done to the
Zurfleih Property.

The settling on North Main avenue,
North Scranton, ceased during yester-
day and the work of filing in. begun
Wednesday night by employees of the
Delaware and Hudson company, was
finished at 2.3O o'clock in the morning.
During the night, however, the settling
continued and at daylight the newly
made surface was several feet below
where the surface ought to be.
The work of filling in was begun over
again. a long procession of teams
moved from the ash dump at the Won
Storch boiler house to the deep cave in
front of the property or John Zurfleih,
on Main avenue.
At $50 o'clock the filling in had pro-
gressed so far that street car traffic
which had been blocked, was started
The cave covered a space Of forty feet
square and averaged six feet in depth.
1t is estimated that $50 wagon loads
of ashes We're dumped into the cavity.
No further settling was noticed yester-
day.
The scene of the disturbance was
much visited yesterday. On the street
nothing but a tumbled about patch of
ashes could he seen, but the work of
heih property. The double dwelling
stands at least twenty feet above the
| road and is approached by a series of
! stone steps in double terrace. These
steps and the three-foot stone wall in
| front were displaced and the stones
| scattered about Yesterday afternoon
the steps were rebuilt by Delaware and
| Hudson masOns hut the wall was al
| lowed to tOtter as the cave left it.
a long crack in the brow of the first
terrace threatens the tumbling over to
the sidewalk of a big mass of earth.
The Zurieih building has not been dis
turbed by the present cave. Last Sep
tember the building was shaken by a
| settling.
Nothing can be done at this time to
stop the cave from the inside Of the
| mine, as the work would be extremely
dangerous. The Rock vein where the
falls are occurring, has been aband-
oned for years and at the point of the
caves is almost completely blocked and
impossible.

Has John Martin Arrested on 1
Charge of Perjury.

Alderman John p. Kelley, the magis-
trate of the Eighteenth ward, who was
held under bail Wednesday night on a
charge of extortion, brought a counter
action yesterday against John Martin
his prosecutor. Kelley charges per-
jury.
He appeared before Alderman John
r. Howe and swore out the informa-
tion that Martin in his statement under
oath at the hearing said what was not
true. The warrant was placed in the
hands of Constable Cole, but before the
papers was served Martin entered bal
in the sum of 800 to appear for hear
ing next Monday night.
