Chicago, Oct. 15.-George II. jack

ers, were hanged in the county Jail Fri.
day. Contrary to the usual custom
when two men are condemned to die
upon the same day, the doomed mer
were not hanged at the same moment
Druggan was hanged first. The traE
was sprung beneath him at few sec
onds past 1902 o'clock. Over 30 min
utes later Jacks paid the penalty OF
his alleged crime. Both men died o!
strangulation, the fall having failed
to break the cervical verte brae. DEATH
in each instance came after about Ii

was eagerly welcomed at the capital,
and in the presence of Senator Grimes,
of Iowa, was asked by the secretary of
the navy to tell the story of the fall
of the Crescent city. When Bailey had
finished Grimes exclaimed: "Come
with me. The account of this great
battle must be told on the floor of the
senate"
In the senate chamber Capt. Bailey
was greeted with emotional cordial
ty, and members of the house hurried
over to listen to his recital of the i'm
posing and stirring events, in which he
had taken an important part, leading,
as he did, the first division up the river
even in advance of Farragut. At the
conclusion of his narrative the repre-
sentatives returned to their chamber
with the impulse to give thanks of
congress to both Bailey and Farra-
gut, while Senator Grimes instantly
arose in the senate for the same pur-
pose.
But before the motion was made
Secretary Welles had read Farragut's
report, which did not refer to Bailey
as having led the way, and indeed rep
resented the feet as ascending the
river in two columns abreast, himself
at the head of one of these. Welles
FASTENED a warning to Grimes, and
the senator, in the midst of his eulo-
GUM, was obliged to call halt on the
enthusiasm which was sweeping the
two houses along. Hn explained the
matter as well as he could to Capt.
Bailey, who still sat in the chamber,
but naturally that officer went forth
filed with humiliation.
Afterward Farragut alone received
the vote of thanks for the victory, and
hit was seven years later, and after
much correspondence between him
and Bailey, that he was brought to
see the error which he had committed
by inclosing in his report sketch of
the movements as he had originally
planned them, but which had been rem
dered vitally incorrect by subse-
quent change in his plans. It was
then that he wrote to his wounded sub
ordinate: my examination of the
printed diagram has fully satisfied me
of the justice of your appeal. shall
therefore forward to the department
correct sketch of the final attack as
we passed up the river" Boston

A Real Hero.

Talk about heroes" southern man
remarked in club talk over the re-
union of north and south, "I know a
man in New Orleans who is what call
a real hero. He fought through the
civil war and escaped without being
wounded. Since the war his dearest
possession has been the confederate
uniform in which he battled for the
lost cause. This worn suit of clothes
has been carefully packed away, and
1t has long been his declared intention
to be buried in it when he dies. The
other day an old comrade, dying by
inches of some mortal malady, eX-
planned that his own confederate uni
form had been stolen or destroyed by
moths, and his last days were embit-
tered by the fact that he could not be
given soldiers burial. He begged my
friend to let him be buried in his suit
of confederate gray; he did not seem
to estimate properly the sacrifice he
was asking. My hero friend told me
the story, and said 1t was the severest
trial he had ever encountered in life
the struggle over the dying mans
request. He fought the fight out, how
ever, and sent the treasured suit of
soldier clothes to the man who had
asked the boon. He was buried in
them. My New Orleans friend will GO
to his grave, no doubt, in civilians
garb, but the great Captain, know,
has already numbered him among His
heroes. ."--PhiladelpNa Item.

CHANCE MEETING In BATTLE.

of their stories:

with several other officers of ElwelPs
division under the shade of clump of
trees in an old field overlo ooking deep

troops were marching. Suddenly L
observed Maj. Bob Wheat, the famous
commander of Wheat's battalion of
Dick Taylor's Louisiana brigade, look.
ing directly forward at lot of federal
prisoners approaching under guard.
Wheat was most magnificent speci-
men of manhood, and, guided by his
intense gaze, soon singled out among
the prisoners the object of it, man of
like proportions to himself. In a mo-
ment more Wheat had rushed down
the bank with outstretched arms, ex-
claiming:
80, yes, I thought that was you Civ
ing us so much trouble
THE prisoner opened wide his arms
and rushed to meet Wheat in an en-
brace which showed to us onlookers
how tender must have been their re-
lations in the past and how great their
friendship still. After long embrace
Wheat told his friend to march on to
Richmond and he would see that he

KILLED AT RESACA.
The Heroic Death of n Union Soldier
Whose Sweetheart Had Ques-
toned His Courage.

Doubtless the heroine-she appears
in the sequel-of the following story
was merely a silly girl, with an exag-
gerated opinion of her own power of
judgment and an idea of the "pomp
and glory" of war not in accordance
with the facts; but when one sits in
judgment on the conduct of brave
and true man, under circumstances in
which personal experience is Inherent
ly impossible, even without that ter
rible consequences of the present in
stance, harsher name than presump-
tion is deserved. Mr.. Ambrose Bierce,
in volume of exceedingly vivid war
stories, tells the tale.
THE best soldier on our staff was
Lieut.. Brayle, and as he was commonly
in full uniform, espe cially in action,
when most officers are content to be
less famboyantly attired, he was a
very striking and conspicuous figure.
We liked him as much as we admired
him, although we observed that he had
one Objectionable and unsoldierly
quality-he was vain of his courage.
Whatever the circumstances, he never
took cover, while men older in service
and years, higher in rank and of un-
questionable integrity, were Loyalty,
and with a better wisdom, preserving
behind the crest of hill lives Infinite
ly precious to their country.
THE end came at Resaca. Our forces
formed semicircle, the enemy's for
titled line being the chord of the arc,
The general and his staff were at the
right extreme of the arc, when, at a
momentary break in the firing, Brayle
was sent with a message to the officer
in command at the extreme left. In
stead of taking the longer line through
the woods and among the men, as was
obviously indicated, to everyone's
amazement he cantered into the open
field, parallel to the enemy at dis
tance of about 200 yards. Instantly
the entire fortified line was in crack
ling confagration; our forces sent
back an answering fire.
'In the middle of the storm-swept
space, equally doomed by friend and
foe, Brayle-his horse lay at some lit
tie distance-stood motionless, with
his face toward the enemy. He would
not go back; he could not go forward
for at that point was deep gully, OF
which, of course, he had been in ignor-
ance. But for some unscrutable rea,

scn-it could not be that he had lost
his head-he did not avail himself of
its shelter. Death did not keep him
long waiting.
-Four stretcher bearers, following a
sergeant with a white flag, soon after
ward moved unmolested into the field.
Several confederate officers came out
to meet them, and beyond the hostile
works generous enemy honored the
fallen dead with flies and muffied
drum.

words: Mr.. Winter has been telling
