GEN PLEASANTON DEAD.

In the recent death of Gen.
Pleasanton, one of the most dis
tinguished as we'll as one of the
most neglected heroes of the
late civil war had passed away.
For many years he has lived the
life of recluse in Washington
A cavalry division commander
rendering distinguished service
in the war, he had been retired
on a paltry majors half pay.
He had been one of General
McClellan's friends. and was
rudely josled aside. when Grant
and Sheridan took charge of the
Potomac army. In recounting
some of his deeds, a Washing
ton dispatch says:

The above is correct though,
a few explanatory words, con-
corning details of the Chancel-
lorville cavalry charge, might
not be out of place here. There
was only about 400 of P]eason-
toms command led by that brave
Irishman, Captain Keenan,, who
made the famous charge Unto
the jaws of death, "and has been
likened unto the charge of the
Light Brigade at Balikalava.

The old Bacon house was quickly and

placed in evidence.
The dismantling of the house was no

merely taking away the furniture, but
manteis were pulled bodily from the

Alfonso de Moress and Fred Talbot had
quarrel yesterday over a trife in the
shoe-factory where they are employed.
De Moress was not satisfied with the re-
suit and declared that nothing but the
sight of blood would pacrfy him. When
the two men went 10 work this morning
De Moress, who had been hit over the
head with a chair by Talbot yesterday,
renewed hostilities by doing the same
thing that had caused the original trouble.
After few heated words De Moress drew
a razor from his pocket, and in an instant
made several very serious cuts right across
TaiUot's face.
There was struggle. and every time he
got the chance De Moress made fresh
cut on TalboI's head until the boys face
was literally in pieces. They were sepa-
rated by other workmen and De Moress
escaped, while the injured lad was taken
to the hospital and attended to. De
Moress was arrested a little later by Ser
geant Hodgkins and is charged with as
sault to murder. At the police sta ton he
said that he only cut him a little, because
