1t was practicable, inasmuch as the
movements of the enemy could be cas-
lily watched. At Yorktown, Va. one
day, Gen. Fitz-John Porter, who was
then in command, made an ascension
with Prof. Low, and accompanied him.
Usually two soldiers were detailed
to accompany the professor. On this
occasion only one was necessary. The
two men who had been previously de
tailed began to quibble among them
selves as to who should go and the cap
tain of our company finally gave the or
der that neither should go.

Two soldiers were usually stationed at

balloon back to earth upon a signal
from the professor. On this occasion,
the men at the windlass let us up sew

ready engaged passage on a steamer for

DR.. John Hall, who died today in Ire

NOTED WOMAN SPY.
Mrs. l. n. Seeley, Famous in Kansas
Annals, is Dead.

Fort Scott, Kan, Sept 17.-Word has
just been received here of the death
at La Porte, Tex, of Mrs. L. H. See
ley, formerly of this county, and one
of the most noted of all Kansas char
acters.
e In appearance Mrs. Seeley was tall.
raw bOned, with a harsh voice, and
masculine features. She appeared in
many respects more like a man than a
woman During the civil war her pc
culiar appearance stood her in good
place as she dressed as a man and so
good was her impersonation that her
sex was not discovered.
Mrs. Seeley dressed in her rightful
habiliments, served as nurse to the
union soldiers during the war, and at
times donned mems clothing and fol-
lowed the exciting but dangerous pur-
suits OF a union spy. For the services
she gave the government she received
a pension which she drew up to the
time of her death.
After the war Mrs. Seeley wrote a
book relating her experiences during
the struggle. 1t was published under
the title, "A Nurse and a Spy in the
Union Army An experience of which
she wrote in this book was one in
which she had a narrow escape from
death. At the time of the incident she
was dressed in mems clothes, and was
riding horse in company with
number of soldiers. The party met a
company of confederates, and a bloody
fight followed. Several of her COM
was riding was shot from under her.
The animal threw her to the ground
in such manner as to slightly stun
her, and this probably saved her life.
The confederates who had fired on her
came up, and one of them with the
point of his rife turned her over, say
ing, Il don't believe this - Yank is
dead. I'll just stick this (meaning his
bayonet) through him.
The woman had enough of her wits
left to keep her eyes shut, and another
soldier noticing this, said: Hes dead.
Come on or the other Yanks will get
u.s." and they left without harming her.
She came to this city some % years
ago, where she resided for fully 20
years. A few years ago she built one
of the largest houses in this city, and
was expecting to open a private hos
pital but changed her mind and re-
moved to La Porte, where her death
occurred.

while the center of the storm swept
over St. Vincent and Gualaloupe.
Details received from St. Vincent
show that an unparalleled destruction of
life and of property has taken place
there. Out of a population of Al, 900
800 were killed and 10000 were injured
and rendered homeless. Besides this,
owing to the complete destruction of the

MRS. BOTKIN SAVED.
She Cannot Be Taken to Della

patches.

San Francisco, Sept. I'm sum-
marking the result of the hearing of
the Botkin case before the governor the
Examiner says:
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin can not be
tried for murder. Governor Budd has
decided while granting a two weeks
postponement of formal action in this
matter that the woman can not be ex-
tradited to Delaware. The prosecution
admits that a new trial can not be un-
dertaken in this state, as it was in
Delaware that the murder was actually
committed. The only thing that can
be done is to charge Mrs. Botkin with
preparing the poisonous candy package
and depositing it in the mails. This Of
fense is a felony and is punishable by
a ten year term in the state prison.

HARD TO GET HER.
Gov. Budd of California Not Disposed
to Let Mrs. Botkin Go Easily.

San Francisco, Sept17.-The proceed
ings in the Botkin extradition case were
resumed before Governor Budd yester-
day The question of the status of the
extradition papers when it came to a
vital question of law was first resumed,
the attorneys on both sides being laden
with additional evidence and extracts
from court decisions to support their
respective cases.
Governor Budd rather Indignantly
questioned the right of the Delaware
authorities to send such papers to this
state when the laws of Delaware re-
quire absolute proof of guilt of an aO-
cused person before that state would
permit of extradition by another state.
He made the positive declaration that
he would not grant extradition upon
the showing made by the Delaware
authorities.
The governors chief objection to the
extradition papers was that the eX-
pressjOns were in the past tense. 1t
said:
Pennington made oath,'' not 'makes
OATH" and was therefore not a COM
pIaint, but narrative of the fact that
a complaint had been made. 1t did not
purport to be a copy of the complaint.
The governor suddenly dropped the
argument over the form of the papers
and asked Detective McVey, the Della
ware official, if his state was willing to
pay the expenses of witnesses in the
case. The detective replied that he
would have to ask for information, upon
which the governor replied that the an
