4 The Brave Uol0loT Died - 4o Had AWoNa
Hoped He Would.
Moore was dying. Baird was severely
wounded. The early winter night was
creeping over the field of battle, and
Hope, gallant soldier though he was,
judged it prudent to stay his hand.
Soult had been foughly driven back.
The transports were crowding into the
harbor. 1t was enough to have ended a
long retreat with the halo Of victory
and to have secured an undisturbetl en-.
barkation.
Meanwhile Moore had been carried
into his quarters at Coruna. A much
attached servant stood with tears run.
ming down his face as the diving man
was carried into the house. "My
friend, /" said Moore, .'it is nothing!"
Then, turning to a member of his staff,
Colonel Anderson. he said: Anderson,
you know have always wished to die
in this way. I hope my country will do
me justice. " Only once his lips culver
ed and his voice shook as he said, "Say
to my mother" and then stopped, while
he struggled to regain composure.
"Stanhope, y he said as his eyes fell on
his aid-de-camp's face, remember me
to your sister the famous Hester
Stanhope, Pitts niece, to whom Moore
was engaged. Life was fast aud visibly
sinking, but he said, II feel myself so
strong I fear I shall be long dying"
But he was not. Death came swiftly
and almost painlessly. Wrapped in
soldiers cloak, he was carried by the
light of torches to a grave hastily dug
in the citadel at Coruna, and far off
to the south, as the sorrowing officers
stood round the grave of their dead
chief, could be heard from time to time
the sound of Soult's guns, yet in sullen
retreat. That scene is made immortal
in Wolfes noble lines:
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But we steadfastly gazed on the face that was
dead,
And we bitterly thought Of the morrow.
We thought we followed his narrow bed
And smoothed down his lonely pillow
That the toe and the stranger would tread DER
his head,
And we far away on the billow.

FIGHT WITH HORSE THIEVES.
"GeOrge Dewey" and Gilbert Tenney
Captured After a Chase.

MOUNT GILEAD, o., June 2O.-Sheriff
Purinton and his deputy, H. Bowen, yes
terday started out to intercept two horse
thieves who had been operating in Carding-
ton five miles south of here. In his haste
the deputy failed to arm himself. The two
officers separated to scour the woods near
which the rogues had last been seen. Bowen
was successful in his search and intercepted
the men, In attempting their arrest they
each covered him with revolvers and
marched him back into the woods. The cap
ture of the deputy was witnessed by farm
er, who hurried to town with the news. A
posse was formed and soon the woods was
filled with armed men. The chase became
warm and just when capture seemed GER
tain the horse thieves cut the strap of
farmers horse that was hitched to a surrey,
but in their haste did not observe that one
of the lines had been employed as a hitch
ing strap. The vehicle was upset and again
the pursuers gained.
Twelve shots were fired at close range
by the bandits and in the exchange of bull
lets one of them was wounded in the hand.
After another short chase the men were
Z Captured. The deputy sheriff whom they
ca ptured was threatened with death if he
followed them, but not needing their warn
ings was in at the capture. The men gave
their names as George Dewey and Gilbert

WASHINGTON June 20.-Lieutenant
Hobson, the hero of the Merrmac, will be
transferred from the construction corps to
the line of the navy and raised to the grade
of lieutenant commander, probably this
week. This action was definitely decided by
the administration to-day, and legislation
empowering this action Will be pressed in
both houses, and its execution Will almost
Immediately follow the affixing of the exec
utive approval of the measure. 1t had been
proposed to await Hobsons personal express
sion as to his choice between the transfer
to the line or promotion within the corps,
where future advancement is limited. The
final decision to-day to give substantial rec
ognition without further delay save for leg
islative authority, which is to be immedi-
ately granted, follows the formal refusal of
exchange by the Spanish government. The
matter was taken up by both the President
and Secretary Long, and it was announced
privately that the administration is anxious
for immediate legislation to permit the Pres
ident to act, and that promotion to the full
extent authorized would Immediately follow.
This determination was reached after a
short and informal consultation over the
Spanish attitude to the exchange of pris-
oners and the likelihood that there will be
no early release of the gallant lieutenant
and his crew.

government decided some time ago to erect
a yellow-fever hospital here and also to
establish detention camp on one of the

matters. 1t was hoped to secure the key

FOREIGN INCENDIARIES.
Enemies of the Government Supposed
to Have Set Fire to Powder Mill.

CINCINNATI, o.. June 20.-The finishing
department of the King Powder Company,
located at Kings Mills, in Warren county,
was destroyed last night in a manner lead
ing to the belief that it was the work of
enemies of the government. The building
in which was stored quantity of smoke
less powder had evidently been fired by
two men near midnight one of whom was
badly burned and had been apparently
dragged away from the burning building by
his companion, who then ran in the direc-
ton of South Lebanon. Smokeess pow
der, in the condition it was in this de-
partment, does not explode like ordinary
powder with a flash. but breaks into a
bright light and burns for some time The
great light attracted citizens and some of
these met a stranger going to South Leb-
anon. The injured man was taken into
custody. He is apparently a foreigner. but
is badly injured that he can scarcely
talk. The powder burned not for the
government, and the money loss is lnconsid-
cradle, perhaps only $1,000. This company
has a contract to supply the government.
and this is thought to be the reason its
destruction WAS attempted.

LOAN ASSOCIATION RULING.
Paid-Up and Nonpa rticipnting Feat
ures Excluded i'm Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD H.. june 2O.--Justice
Phillips, of the Illinois Supreme Court. an
nounced an opinion to-day of great interest
to building and loan associations. The opin-
ion is rendered on a bill by It. B. Rhodes VS..
the Missouri Savings and Loan Company,
a Missouri corporation The court declares:
THE scope of the association is one which
is not authorized by the statute of this
State. Its source for deriving its funds for
loaning purposes is one which is not reccg-
nized by our statutes. A true building and
loan association. as our statute provides
for, has no authority TO declare or pay
dividends on its stocks. Instead of funds
being derived from small payments, made
monthly by it's subscribers, it may instead
derive its entire fund by large subscrp-
lions of thousands of dollars made by money
lenders and capitalists. who thus. In the
guise of subscribers to stock in so-calIed
building associations are enabled to realize
10 or "a per cent. interest on money in
vested.
The decision virtually excludes paid-up
and nonparticipating stock features OF
building associations in Illinois.

A KINDLY SUGGESTION.

COL William ]. Bryan ceased making 1e-
toll speeches about the time that war with
Spain became certainty. While the reso-
buttons regarding the ground of interference
in Cuba were under consideration it was
given out that Colonel Bryan was in Wash
ington to induce the Democrats and others
in Congress who make up the Bryan party
to insist upon a recognition of the Republic
of Cuba as then organized. In interviews
and at banquet he took that view of the
matter-that is, as the war was coming on.
Mr.. Bryan saw the Importance of finding
some other issue than IS to l. free, indie
pendent and unlimited When he asked for
a position in the army the asking was a
tacit admission that he did not intend to de-
vote his time to the silver issue Since his
appointment as colonel he made a speech
in which he opposed the annexlng of the
Philippines. but made no allusion to 16 to /.
Perhaps it was inopportune, but in all his
previous addresses allusion was made to
the free coinage of silver Now that Colonel
Bryan has been mustered into the United
States service. with the understanding that
he will be sent thousands of miles away
and that he can make no more speeches
upon the question it is fair to- assume that
ne proposes to give is to l a vacation, dur
ing which period he may indulge the hope
that his party will find issues which will
enable it to go to the people with better
prospect of success than 1t would have in
1900 with the silver issue and an Altgeld-
Debs attack on federal authority and
courts.
The recent example of Colonel Bryan
should not be lost upon those of his party
who are now making a platform for the
Democratic state convention which will as
semble tomorrow. 1t has been given out
that these platform makers will emphat-
ically reafflrm the Chicago declaration If
they were wise. would they not consider the
course which Colonel Bryan has pursued
the past two months and drop the ultra
16-to-1 declaration and accept the semi-edi-
torial advice of the New York Journal, leav-
ing the ratio to 1.-The infallible wisdom of a
Democratic Congress?'' 1t must have oc-
ana who take note of passing events that
ultraism in regard to l6 to is not a draw
ing card They must have heard from Ore
gcn, and they must be blind If they fail to
apprehend the significance of Mr.. Bryan's
conduct Why do they not leave the 16-to-1
sentative Towne, who are alleged to be in
the employ Of those interested in silver
mines?
