Tint Seventh Regimont-Whlch

From the National Democrat
The Seventh regiment OF New York
city is "swell'' military organization
that numbers among its members some
Of the leading "aristocrats" of the me
tropols In the year of our Lord 1886
the membership of the regiment turned
out to man and participated in body
in the parade held in honor of the "sound
money" cause. Just about that time
they were mighty fearful lest the
nation should "dshonor itself by
electing Bryan to the presidency" ST
he is elected we will not submit" they
said.
Well, they didn't have to submit and
their man is now in the White House
calling for the volunteer militia to 20 to
the front against foreign foe. In the
face OF all this, they, by unanimous vote,
refused to go to the country's defense.
Was there ever such an indictment Of
the scOundrelsnwh were prating about
1.-THE old flag "a sound money" and
national honor" in 1896?
There is another Seventh regiment--in
Illinois. 1t is wholly composed OF Irish
American citizens of Chicago They are
plain lot of young men, and, as gen
eral rule learn their bread by the sweat
Of their brow" Naturally they are
Democrats, and all through the trying
days OF the campaign of 1896 faltered
not in their allegiance to him who bore
the standard Of Democracy aloft from
July Q to November 3. Their idol failed
to reach the goal, but like true Ameri-
can citizens they submitted to the result
without question.
But they, too, have heard the chief
magistrates call to arms, and unan
mously they voted to 80 to the front to
defend their country's honor. Hardly
had the "bugle CALI been sounded when
they were in their uniforms and ready
for the battle. Today they are Swelter-
ing in the heat at Chckamauga, while
their New York numerical namesakeS
are lOlling in mountain breezeS far from
fevers and Spanish lead.
There should be no party spirit mani
tested in this trying time, but we cannot
let these two incidents pass without re-
marks.

a river which had to be forded owing
to the breakdown of a bridge:
AS was to pass the river or water
through my cart for absence of any
boat some alligators ran on my oxen
hence the oxen getting fear forcibly
took away my cart in an abyss below
the water of 12 feet which the cartman
failed to obstruct. The oxen forcibly
left the cart and fled to the other side
of the river by swimming. I myself
being inside the matscreen of my cart
the whole cart fell down in the abyss,

cart with myself was drowned in the

Nath Chose and my cook Jumped on
the water and took my cart in a place
where Az water than myself jumped
on the water and saved my life The al
ligators getting fear from the cart fled
to the roadside and no sooner we came
to the road they jumped on the water.
Had l been under suffocation for 8
minutes more then there was no hope OF
my life. The nearest resi-
dents told thereafter that some men
died this year in the abyss by the at
tack of the alligators. l am much un-
well the voice of my speech is fallen

FARRAGUT IN THE RIGGING.
story of the Man Who Fastened Him
on the "Hartford."

on the "Hartford."
It is familiar, but always thrilling
story, how Admiral Farragut, in carry
ing his fleet into Mobile bay, on August
5, 1864, posted himself up in the rig
ging of his flagship, the Hartford, and
directed the sailing and fighting from
that exposed elevation. He had to
sail between two formidable forts
Gaines on the one hand, Morgan on the
other-over line of hidden piles and
a line of torpedoes, and then, when he
had got over these strong and compli-
Gated defenses and was within the
bay, he had to engage a strong Con-
federate squadron. The brilliancy
and bravery with which the enterprise
was carried through, to the complete
defeat of the Confederates, can never
be forgotten.

BENWOOD.
Special to the Review.


The I. II. Norris we'll is a small
gasser with no oil in the Berea
sand. While trying to clean the
we'll few days ago, bailer was
dropped which has not yet been got
out, This renders the we'll useless
for time.
They contemplate making To-
cation on an adjoining farm in the
near future.
Barnsdall & Co. are drilling a
we'll on the Crum farm on Dismal
creek. This we'll should be due in
the sand in the near future and
something new in development is
expected.
Barnsdall is preparing to put
down a we'll on the Big Lickskillet
block.
Jackson's ridge is booming along
in grand shape. There are sever
al wells going down there now and
will all likely be good ones.
Barnsdall drilled in a good well
in the Cow run sand, on Muskir-
gum creek about week ago.
This producer is good for $50
barrels according to reports.
The Central Gas company drilled
in good gas we'll on Leonard
Jackson Wednesday. This is near
Woods6eld and one. half mile from
Jackson's Ridge.

INCENDIARISM CERTAIN
The Despicable Fire Bug is in
Our Midst.
AN INCIPIENT BLAZE
Last Evening in Charles This
ties Stables.

The people Of our city are in
great cor Sternation over the ap.
parent presence of a person or
combination of persons who have
incendiary designs upon their prop.
erty. During the present week
there has been four confagrations,
and while two of these undoubtedly
originated from natural causes, the
remaining two give palpable evil
dence Of malevolent work.
Our citizens are thoroughly
aroused to the gravity Of the stu
alton, and we are authorized to
offer reward of $500 for the ap-
prehension and conviction of the
one who started last nights fire.
Mr.. Thistle is too generally popu-
lar to make the supposition probable
that his barn was fired in a desire
for revenge for some faucied wrong
and the more consistent theory
should be accepted that some un.
natural creature is venting his IT.
nate cussedness in this way. 1t is
to be devoutly hoped that the mis-
creant will be caught in the meshes
OF the law before his evil handi-
work is put further in evidence.
Early Wednesday morning the
Wells Hotel stables were fred as
chronicled in the Review. The
blaze last night was nearly opposite
and the ignition was made in the
same material-baled hay. This
gives almost indisputable proof to
the inference of incendiarism.
Last nights fire was discovered
at about half-past ten by stable
boy, who was passing by at the
time. The alarm was communi-
Gated in relays and sounded by the
Baptist bell. The reliable J. T.
Jones hose boys responded with
their usual alacrity and had every =
thing ready for business before
their co-workers from the other
company loomed up.
But their services were not
needed. The barn had already
been entered and the blazing hay
and two horses and pony removed.
The affair as fortunate a termina-
ton as the previous one at the
Wells stables. A seasonable dis
covery in each instance baked the
work of the incendiaries.
Mr.. Thistle's barn fronts on AL.
ley B., which connects Charles
and Catherine streets at the Wei S
House. There were two horses
and a pony in the stables at the
time and these were gotten out
without much difficulty. The i'm
minent danger Of the little pony
served to accelerate the speed of
the J. 7. Jones' hose company.
This diminutive specimen of horse
flesh IS prime favorite and mascot
OF the company and the question of
his safety was superior to the prop
erty consideration.
