We finally got out of the pen and
into the cars, which soon rolled away to
the westward. We we're packed i'll too
densely to be able to lie down. We could
hardly sit down. Andrews and | took
up our position in one corner, piled our
little treasures under us, and trying to
lean against each other in such IL way as
to afford mutual support and rest, dozed
fitfully through long, weary night.
When morning came we found our
selves running northwest through poor,
pine-barren country that strongly re-
sembled that we had traversed in coming
to Savannah. The more we looked at it
the more familiar it became, and soon
there was no doubt we were going back
to Andersonville.
By noon we had reached Millen-S0
miles from Savannah, and 80 from Au-
gusta. 1T was the junction of the road
leading to Macon and that running to
Augusta. We halted little while at
the " Y and to us the minutes were full
of anxiety. If we turned off to the left
we were going back to Andersonville.
If we took the right hand road we were
on the way to Charleston or Richmond,
with the chances in favor of exchange.
AT length we started, and, to our Joy,
our engine took the right-hand track.
We stopped again, after run of five
miles, in the midst of one of the open,
scattering forests of long-leaved pine that
| have before described. We were
ordered out of The cars, and marching
few rods, came in sight of another of
those hateful Stockades, which seemed to
be as natural products Of the sterile sand
of that dreary land as It's desolate woods
and It's breed of boy murderers and gray
headed assassins.
Again our hearts sank, and death
seemed more welcome than incarceration
in those gloomy wooden walls. We
marched despondently up to the gates
of the prison, and halted while party
of rebel clerks made list of our names,
rank, companies, and regiments.
As they were rebels it was slow work.
Reading and writing never came by
nature, as Dogberry would say, to any
man fighting for Secession. AS a rule,
he took to them as reluctantly as if he
thought them cunning inventions of the
Northern Aboitionist to perplex and
demoralize him.
What half-dozen boys taken out of
our own ranks would have done with
ease in an hour or so, these rebels worried
over all of the afternoon, and then their
register of us was so imperfect, badly
written and misspelled, that the Yankee
clerks afterwards detailed for the pur-
pose never could succeed in reducing it
to intelligibility.
We learned that the place at which
we had arrived was Camp Lawton, but
we almost always spoke of it as Milen,
the same as Camp Sumter is universally
known as Andersonville.
Shortly after dark we were turned
inside the Stockade. Being the first
that had entered, there was quite q

Piedmont, w. Va, January 10
Photographer J. T. Wilde, an aged and
respected citizen, formerly of Balti-
more, was found dead at noon to-day.
He was last seen alive at 6:15 Sunday
evening by Captain Alexander 5. Hut
son, clerk for the Black Sheridan Will
son Coal Company, whose office Gljoins
the gallery on the second floor OF the
First National Bank building. Mr..
Wilde slept in his gallery and had his
meals brought to him by his office boy.
Monday morning young White brought
his breakfast, but found the door lock-
ed. He remained with Hutson all DAY
waiting for Wilde to return.
To-day at noon Captain Hutson and
Constable Simeon Dunn unlocked the
door believing something was wrong.
They found Wilde sitting in rocking
chair, neatly dressed, a stand contain
ing half filled lamp. pipe and tobacco
were on his right, and at his left side
a Baltimore Sunday paper, where it had
fallen from his hand.
He had died without a struggle.
The door was locked and the key lay
on the floor.
Justice George w. Allen was sum-
moned, but decided an inquest unnec-
essary. Dr. VIM. A. Shuey examined
the remains.
Mr.. Wilde came from Baltimore,
where his mother, who is ninety-three
years old, and other relatives, reside.
His brother was notified and will ar
rive tonight. The cause of death is
not known and several unexplained ac-
tions of the deceased the past few days
have caused some to think his death
was not to him entirely unexpected.
Mr.. Wilde bore an excellent reputation
and was without an enemy.
Undertaken Fredlock has charge of
the remains, awaiting the arrival Of his
brother. Last week he shipped two
boxes, two canary birds, and his watch
to Baltimore, and presented Captain
Hutson with a set of George Elliott's
works. He had cleaned up his gallery
and had burned large number of pict-
ures he had been saving for many
years.
He was financially embarrassed, his
property having been levied upon. He
had been rather melancholy of late
and had spoken of heart trouble, which
is assigned as cause of death.

Later counsel read letters written by the
Princess TO her husband i'm which she

five years from whence, the Princess
added. she would deturn purified to the
domestic hearts.
The Prince replied from Paris saying he
was going TO Chimay and that he did not

Counsel continued that on the follow
ing day the Princess. according to Rigo,
suppered AT the ambassador cafe chan
tan with a man and woman and the Prin-
cess made a scene with the woman. whom
she accused of an attempt 10 steal her
lover.
For the sake of the children, counsel
thou said. the Prince hoped the court
would not require proof by witnesses. as
the uo,oriety of the scandal and the aJti-
ude OF the Princess since the beginning of
the sal, proved the principal charge viz:
her fight with Rigo.

early as August 10. 1890. the Gil Bias of
Paris spoke of the 'vagaries of the Prn-
coss I'm Paris" I'm an article clearly des-
ignating the Princess de Chimay.

greatly exaggerated. Proceeding. counsel

sation that the Princess had abandoned
her children without regret.
Prince Chimays counsel pointed out
that the Princess defense was confined to
oxtenuaung circumstances and recalled
that the Princess. in order to escape from
the pleading of her husband. sent him a
formal not through her doctor that all
communications must then cease.

Counsel for the Prince also said: "All
Europe would laugh if the court required
testimony in this case"

night, but according TO general opinion
10 is believed that the court will grant an
absolute divorce without hearing any tes-
timoUy.
