A UNION SPY.
How Charles 3. Mason Escaped Being Shot
by the Arrival OF Union Force. .

| Charles 3. Mason. a Union soldier, who
! died last week in Chester county. Pa.
| acted as Union spy during the war
ana had one OF the narrowest escapes
from instant death ever recorded.
More than i dozen times Mason entered
the Confederate lines and succeeded in
obtaining such valuable information that
Gen. Sheridan not only caused his rapid
promotion to a Sergeantship but gave him
i written certificate of thanks for the
good work he had done and issued orders
that he must not work as a spy again for.
fear he might he captured and shot by
the enemy. 1t had become known in the
Confederate ranks that a Union spy
named Mason had been the means of OBJ
tanning valuable information about the
condition of the Confederate army
Some months later when Mason was
deSpa tched near the lines of the Confed-
crates, in charge Of a scouting party, his
daring nature led him too far, and he
was captured by the Confederate pick
cts. He was tried with other prisoners of
war and sentenced to Libby prison. As
he was being conveyed TO Richmond I'M
der guard he was recognized by q. Con-
federate spy and promptly sent back to
the prisoners tent. The capture of Ma
son was deemed important that II
was sentenced to be shot at daybreak
next morning.
Mason was hlindfolded next morning
and led to the centre of a square, with an
open grave beside him. a shooting party
was drawn up before the condemned
man. and as he was told to kneel the
command was given to Take aim
The rifles We're levelled at Mason's
breast. and the word fire" was forming
ON the sergeant's lips. when a volley of
musketry from a party of Union troops
which had crept up TO the Confederate
lines wrought instant disorder to the
ranks Of the latter, and the rifles which
had been aiming at the condemned spy
were turned against the oncoming Union
army.
Mason was forgotten in the melee
which followed. and when the skirmish
was over the Thirteenth New York Cav
airy carried him to their headquarters.
At the conclusion of the war Mason went
TO live in Chester county,NPa., where he
remained until he died there last week at
the age of siXtN-tWO.

Rumors of war do not keep the gold
from our shores. Within the past week
another notable gain in the treasury
gold stock has been scored. The re-
serve is now in excess of $3.50, 900.
At the present rate of importation the
treasury gold fund is likely to touch
the $175, 100000 mark within month.
When the fiscal year began the treas
ury free gold amounted to $4,000. 900.
Thus there has been a gain of $29, 000, 900
since carly in last July. The country
does not need the new gold that is
pouring in from Europe. but it will
have a moral effect of some conse-
quence. 1t will show Spain that the
United States will have all the gold and
other sorts of cash which it needs 70

comes necessary.

A Strong Appointment.

While kennebec had her own worthy

fitness Of the Governors choice Judgr
Fogler is a gentleman in every wa

his new position. He is a man of ster-
ling character and scholarly attain
ments. Possessing a clear and logical
mind. and marked powers of analysis
he has long been recognized as one of
the ablest lawyers in the State.
Oftentmes men who are learned ir
in practice. are conspicuously lacking
in the elements thai are essential for n
good judge. Such men are partisans,
on or off the bench. But Judge Fogler
is not man of this character. He
