DIED: At her home in lola at $3.50
Thursday morning, March IL, 1897,
Mrs. Sarah A, wife of DIR. S. Tozer in
the 9th year of her age.
Sarah Ann Spears was born in Bed
ford county, Tenn, Nov. 81, 1929. At
an early age she removed with her
fathers family to Carroll county, Ar
kansas, and from thence to California,
where she was married, i'm 1854, to
Seth TOzer In December, 1866, they
came to lola and this place has been
their home ever since.
Mrs. Tozer was passiOnately devOt-
ed to flowers and for many years coh-
Quoted with marked success the only
green house in this part of the State.
AS long as her health permitted she
gave her personal attention to the
flowers which she knew by name as
Familiarity as if they were members of
the family, and it was great grief to
her when failing health compelled
her to give up what had really been
her life work. Something more than
a year ago she was stricken with an
attack of inflamatOry rheumatism and
from that time until her death she
suffered greatly. While taking but
little part in matters of public con-
Germ, Mrs. TOZer was devoted to her
husband and children and had her
reward in their reciprocal affection.
Her husband, two daughters, five
brothers and two sisters survive her.
All the brothers and one sister live in
Arkansas. The other sister is Mrs.
w. B. Kelley, of lola. The daughters
are Mrs. Ruth Johnson, of Neodosha,
and Mrs. Sarah Grady, of lola.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at IL o'clock Sunday
morning, Rev. Pulliam, of the NJ. E.
church, officiating, and the remains
were laid to rest in the lola cemetery.
The family desire to express,
through the REGISTER, their heart
felt thanks for the many kindnesses
shown them by their friends during
the long illness and after the death of

Hardy through a dense wood. seven
miles to the left, ana executed
the movement during the night. His at
tack came really from the rear of the
Union forces and the Sixteenth Corps
faced about and fought with their backs
to Atlanta. Logan had the line re-estab-
lished and connected when Hoods great
onset from Atlanta on the Fifteenth Corps
came at o'clock in the afternoon. This
brought the fighting up to the right OF the
Army of the Tennessee and to the front
of Sherman and Schofield, who were at
the Howard House. where general head
quarters had been established. 1t was
apprehended that Hood would make a
great onset from the works in Atlanta to
sustain his rear attack.
In plain view of the Fifteenth Corps
and of Sherman, Logan and Schofield, the
Confederates were seen swarming over
their breastworks and forming for the
charge. Logan rode along the line to
cheer his men. He was superb figure on
horse back and his presence inspired cour-
age. The Fifteenth Army Corps, COM
posed of troops that had been storming
rebel breastworks from the beginning of
the war, awaited the onset with eager con.
fidence. Soon the rebel yell from legions
told that the charge was on. The crashes
of musKetry developing into one long and
tremendous roar told OF frightfuI slaugh-
ter. There was pause, but no one could
see on account of the smoke. Above the
smoke arose the rebel yell, when all ex-
pected the Union cheer. The Confeder-
ates had broken the line of Morgan L.
Smiths division ana captured De Gres'
battery, but their advantage was brief.
Logan, in person, rallied and reformed
the broken column, ana simultaneously
Sherman ordered Woods division, chiefly
com posed of Iowa troops, to go forward in
echelon and sweep the field. The battery
was quickly retaken and the broken line
as quickly restored. This practically
ended the battle. Hoods first great as
sault had failed.
Thomas and Schotield wanted to put in
divisions of the Army of the Ohio and
the Army of the Cum berland to re-
enforce the Army OF the Tennessee, but
General Sherman would not listen to the
proposition. He wanted his old army that
had gained such renown at Shiloh, Vicks-
burg and Missionary Ridge to fight it out
for the day. When darkness came the
three corps which had fought so desper-
ately all the day held the ground which
they occupied in the morning, and in
some places had advanced their lines.
Nearly all the lost artillery was recap
tured and loss of 10, 600 in killed,
wounded and prisoners had been inflicted
on the enemy.
Had this attack fallen on other than
veterans of tested courage under the with
ering fire and fierce assault great disaster
to the Union cause in Georgia would
have been recorded. Logan's heroism
and splendid example con tributed to the
victory. HUGH Nj. BURKE.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 22.-Rear-

the command of the Pacific station, came
to Washington from New York to-day
under orders to sit with the board for the

had talk with Secretary Long and also
called on the President. His visit to the
President lasted only few minutes and
little of Importance about the Hawaiian
question could be said.
This afternoon Miller received formal
instructions for his guidance in Hawaii.
They are of the usual general character.
1t is said they contain nothing of sensa-
tional nature bearing on the course the
admiral should pursue in the event of at

directed to look out for the interests of the
United States and the property and lives
of its citizens. He will be given full in
structions OF what the President wants
should there be interference with the in
tention of the United States to annex the
islands, but it stated nothing of that
character will appear in the formal in

TEN FROM HAVERHILL.
Massachusetts Men Have Scheme
to Organize a Company and
Dig Gold.

BOSTON, MASS, July 22.-Five Haver-

to Alaska and five more are wanted. The
party will go under the direction of Ar
thur Seymour, son of Professor Seymou

the name of Haverhill, and the party will
be known as the Haverhill Mining Com

Seymour George A. Schwarts. @. Haven
Coffin, A. G. Ford and Frank III. Ducey.
The party will leave this city in ten days.
When the goldtields are reached the pres
ent scheme calls for division of the party
of ten into two relays of five each. Five
claims will be suaked out. and as the laws
call for three months settlement prior
to ownership five of these men will stay
on them while the other five labor at cur
rent wages to support them. The relays
will change often to relieve the hardships
of both labor and inactivity, and while
one relay works tne other will work for
others. This is of course till settlement
is established and spring comes to open
up the ground.
Each member OF the party will carry
$50 pounds of baggage, very little of which
will be personal. This will give room for

LOGAN AT ATLANTA.
Splendid Heroism OF the Great
General Recorded by a Partici-
pant in the Fierce Battle.

On July %. 1864, Maior-General John A.
Logan commanded the famous Army OF
the Tennessee in the battle of Atlanta.
General Mcpherson was slain early in the
engagement, before General Sherman fully
comprehended the force of the Confederate
onslaught on the left wing of the Unio n
army. General Logan had commanded
the Fifteenth Army Corps throughou: the
cam paign from Chattanooga, and gained
credit for judgment and courage in action.
Whatever may be the record established
by official reports, the fact cannot be sue
cessfuIIy disputed that the assault of
Hoods army on Sherman's left came In
the nature Of surprise, but the change Of
Confederate tactics was gratifying never
theless to the Federal commander, who
had been forced in every position of the
mpaign up to that day 10 attack the
enemy in intrenched position.
Every living soldier of the Army of the
Tennessee who participated in that ne
morable engagement distinctly remem-
bers the force and fury of the Confederate
assault. The Sixteenth Army Corps m ov-
ing into post ion on the left was struck in
flank and rear. The Seventeenth Corps
was obliged to recede from its position on
the morning of the 22d under the pres
sure of Hoods men in masses. Even the
center of Logan's own corps, the Fifteenth,
| was broken at one point and De Gres'
battery was in the enemy's possession for
a few minutes.
Never did a soldier display more enthu-
sasm and impart greater magnetism to
men than did General Logan in that bat
tle de rode along the line apparently
unconscious of danger ana wherever men
we're found wavering rallied them with
the example Of his splendid bravery.
The responsibility of command de-

Some of the bullion brokers assume that
this means that the silver pool which was

liquidating its holdings.
Other brokers were of the opinion that
the holdings of the pool had been
liquidated some time ago and that the
lessened demand for silver in the East
through the adoption of the gold standard
by Japan, among other reasons, was re-
sponsible for the decline.
Outsiders generally called attention to
