A BRAVE GREEK LAD.
why He Was y Much Drawer Boy Than
the Widely Advertised Casabianca.


There was redheaded, freckled peas
ant boy in dirty petticoats who guided Bass
and myself 10 the trenches. He was one
of the few peasants who had not run away,
and as he had driven sheep over every foot
of the hills he elected to guide the soldiers
through those places where they were best
protected from the bullets of the enemy
He did this all day, and was always,
whether coming or going, under heavy
fire, but he enjoyed that fact, and he
seemed To regard the battle only as de-
lghtful change in the quiet routine of his
life, as one of our own country boys at
home would regard the coming of the
spring circus or the burning of a neigh
bor's barn He ran dancing ahead of us,
pointing 20 where a ledge of rock offered a
natural shelter or showing us steep
gully where the bullets could not fall
When they came very near him, he would
jump high in the ar-not because he was
startled, but out of pure animal Joy in the
excitement of it--and he would frown inn
portantly and shake his red curls at us, as
though to say Il told you to be careful
Now you see Don't let that happen
again"
We met him many times during the
two days, esc9rting different companies of
soldiers from one point TO another as
though they We're visitors 10 his estate
When u shell broke, he wO'ld pick up
piece and present ii to the officer i'm charge
as though it were flower he had pucked
from his own garden and which he wanted
his guest to carry away with him as IA SOU
venir of his visit. Some one asked the boy
If his father and mother knew where he
was, and he replied with amusement that
they had run away and deserted him and
that he had remained because he wished
to look at "a Turkish army.
He was much more plucky boy than
the overrated Casabianca, who may have
stood on the burning deck whence all but
him had fled because he could not swim
and because it was with him choice of
being either burned or drowned This boy
stuck TO the burning deck when it was
possible for him at any time to have
walked away and left it burning But he
staid on because he was amused and be-
cause he was able to help the soldiers from
the city in safety across his native heath.

Uses of Animals.

The crustaceans are among the impor-
tant sravcngers of the sea and are also val
uablc as food for fishes. The collection of
crabs, shrimps and Holsters forms large in
dustries all over the world, contributing
directly to the support of man. In Della
ware the horseshoe crab is used as guano
while the collection of fossil crabs as tri-
lobites, Is peculiar industry. The fresh
water crayfish produces concrction used
as an antacid, well known to chemists
We owe many Of the beauties of our sum-
mer fields to insects, all of which have
their special functions and use. Even the
prosecuted flea may render man service
by keeping the drowsy watchdog awake,
while the mosquito in tropical countries
may aid in preventing the human inhab-
itants from living continual siesta. 20.

GOOD DAY FOR WRECKS
SECOND FATAL COLLISION ON THE c..
q Ell. WITHIN A WEEK.
Big Four Train in a Ditch Near Coal
BIuff-Sadie Cruikshanks Acquitted
Mob After Watt Decker.

CLINTON, Ind Dec. 21.-The second
death-dealing wreck on the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois within a week occurred at
Cayuga, twenty-five miles tn of this
city, at 5 o'clock this evening, when the
Chicago and Nashville express dashed into
a north bound freight standing on a switch.
The two engines, baggage and freight cars
were piled into a heap, while two engineers
were killed, a fireman crushed and several
others badly hurt. 1t is thought there is
another man under the wreck. In the for
lorn hope of rescung him the citizens of
the little town of Cayuga are now at work
removing the debris. The dead are:
s. E. HOBSON, of Danville, H.. engineer.
II. f. HORTON, of Chicago, engineer.
The injured were:
f. B. HORTON, fireman, broken leg and
badly bruised.
Fl. W. KELLOGG, air brakes inspector,
head badly cut
Engineer Hobson was in charge and had
Engineer Horton in the cab learning the
road, to take the place there of the engi-
neer killed in last weeks wreck. There
were many passengers on the train, and all
received a severe shaking up. Several had
cuts and bruises, but none was seriously
injured. When the accident took place the
freight train was about to pull out and the
switch had been thrown, the switchman
saw the passenger coming at full speed,
lost his head and failed to reverse the
switch, letting the heavy passenger train
run on the side track and smash into the
freight. Engineer w. j. Gleason and his
fireman on the freight train both jumped
and saved themselves. E. b. Horton, the
passenger fireman, who escaped with a
broken leg and some bruises, was found
beneath the wrecked smoking car and it
required axes and the hardest work to chop
the wreck from about him in time to save
his life. The scene of the wreck is as bad,
if not worse, than the wreck at Clinton last
Thursday, in which three men lost their
lives

Man Who Attempted to Murder George
Slaughter Recently.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BEDFORD, Ind, Dec. 21.-The case of
Green Slaughter for the attempted murder
of George w. Slaughter, two months ago,
has been on trial since Monday. Green
Slaughter went to the woods where George
Slaughter. and a young man named Hol-
sapple were building fence and after a
quarrel he fired load of shot at George
Slaughter, who at the time was supposed
to be mortally wounded Green then drew
a revolver and fired four or five shots out
of that weapon at the men. Young Hol-
sappie also received a part of the load from
the shotgun. Green Slaughter at the time
claimed that he had started squirrel hunt
ing and had been attacked by the men when
ne attempted to pass near where they
were at work. He left the gun and it was
picked up by neighbour who found the
gun had been loaded with brass wire cut
terial. When the surgeons began to pick
the particles from the flesh of George
Slaughter there was great fear that his
wounds would prove fatal owing to the
poisonous nature of the wire. When Sheriff
Dobbins undertook to take the prisoner
from the jail to the courthouse several
deputies We're necessary to help. He had to
be dragged from his cell
The shooting was the result of an old
feud, the parties all being related. Green
accused George of circulating false reports
about his (Green'S) wife. An attempt will
be made by the defense to show that Green
IS insane. A large number of witnesses are
IN attendance and the trial is creating great
interest among friends of both sides.

RICHER THAN KLONDIKE
NEW GOLD FIELD ON A TRIBUTARY
OF THE sTICKEEN RIVER.
Party of CaIifOrnians ON the Way to
the Promised Land-SOldiers for
the Miners Relief Train.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 21-J e. Per-
rims, until recently president of the New
England Whip Company started from this
city to-day with party of fifteen others
for a new gold field in the Northwest Ter
ritory. The new field is said to extend over
fifteen miles along a tributary of the
Stickeen river and to be richer than the
Klondike country. In one of his letters to
parties here concerning the discoveries, Mr..
Dawson, after whom Dawson City
was named, states that the re-
gion gives every indication of an
abundance of gold, but that it is even
more inaccessible than the Klondike, there
being but one way to get in, and that ex
tremeiy dangerous. The winters are more
severe than on the Yukon, and of longer
duration. The nearest trading post or point
of communication with the outside world
is several hundred miles distant. Those who
left this morning have been quietly prepar-
ing for the trip for several months, Keep
ing everything secret, as they wished to
get in before the excitement caused a rush.
The party will leave San Francisco
tomorrow for Victoria. b. c. By
Wrangel and thence overland by the
Stickeen river to their objective point. Their
information regarding the new company
has come direct from Messrs. Ogilvie and
Dawson, the former Canadian orficial who
a year ago made a survey of portions of
the Northwest Territory. Acting on in
structions of these gentlemen, Mr.. Perrins
had limited his party to sixteen. Messrs.
Oglive and Dawson will join the party at
Victoria.

A. b. CAMPBELL,s SUICIDE.
Unique Letter Left by the Former Res
idenf of RushYille.

CHICAGO, Dec. 21.-Alexander B. Camp
bell, of Rushville, Ind, committed suicide
in Kuhn's Hotel, 165 Clark street early last
evening by swallowing morphine, who had
registered at the hotel on Dec IA from Santa.
Monica, Cal. In a long letter addressed to
the Coroner he told his reasons for ending
his existence. Driven to despair, he wrote,
by the thought that his friends believed
MIN insane because he considered himself
able to communicate with the spirit of his
dead wife, Lizzie, and infant son, Bliss, he
had determined to end his life and be united
with them in death. The story of his in
sanity, Campbell wrote, followed him to
other cities where he attempted to estab-
lish himself in business and caused his fail
ure and, although the authorities had found
him of sound mind, he did not desire to live
longer. He had attempted to commit sui
eide in Los Angeles, Cal, some time ago.
Yesterday he took enough of the drug to
make death sure. The letter which Camp
bell left is as follows:
Dec. 10, 1871, Alexander B. Campbell,
make this statement of the cause of my
death to release the Coroner of the neces-
sity of an inquest and also TO let my friends
know the motive that led me to take my
life. My death will be caused by NOR
phine, which l have deliberately taken
with suicidal intent. This purpose was
and came to this city.
THE reason l take my life is because
want to go to my wife and boy. My useful
ness in this world is at end. l cannot be
satisfied in any business and cannot be
without their companionShip. / have never
been able to devote myself to business since
my wife died, and after Bliss was killed
lost all interest in life. In Los Angeles, Cal,
j tried TO commit suicide, but did not take
enough of the drug. / then went home to
Rushvile, but found no comfort there. My
friends regarded me as a man of unsound
mind because | held the view that my wife
was with me in spirit always. / have lived
with her spirit guiding me every day, and
and helps me to do as j doing.
Il will be with her before another day
goes by, and die with pleasure l am glad
to go with my wife and baby boy 1 have
not one single doubt or fear about my
future life with them. l believe in God and
Immortality. Now, if / go among strang-
ers. the story of my insanity soon follows,
and do not to live such a life when
l can in few hours go to my wife and
boy
What few things have left in my room
George w. Campbell, Rushvlle, Ind, and
he is the proper person to notify of my
death. | do not want any funeral services
over my body, and where / am buried is of
no concern to me whatever. l hope and
trust the infinite, the eternal, the merciful
and loving God. l worship Him and feel no
guilt in my heart before him for what l am
going to do Next to God, | worship my
wife and boy and will soon be with them
and with my father and mother who are
waiting for my coming
