THE NATHAN HALE
 OF THE CONFEDERACY

Halle Erminie Rives in Lesle's Weekly.
 A splendid monument is about to be erect ed in the capital of Tennessee to the mem ory of Sam Davis, the confederate scout
 On the 27th day of November, 1863, this soldier, at the age of only nineteen years, was hanged as a spy at Pulaski Tenn, by the federals' courtmartial sentence. He was under the orders of Gen. Bragg, and was to report by a courier line to him at Missionary ridge. When Davis and a number of others received their orders they were told of the hazardous duty that confronted them Several had already been captured. Joshua Brown, one of his comrades, now of New York, was shrewd enough to secure all the information he could without making a memorandum of 1t. They had not gone far before they ran into the Seventh Kansas cavalry, known as the "Kansas Jayhawkers." They were lodged in jail at Pulaski that night sam Davis had been searched, and it was found that he had some very important pa pers upon him. In the seat of his saddle they found maps and descriptions of the Notifications at Nashville and other points, and an exact report of the federal army in Tennessee. In his boot they found this let ter and others intended for Gen. Bragg:
 "Giles county, Tenn. Nov. IS, 1863. "Col. H. McKinstry, Provost Marshall, the

Twice ManeIed by a Leonord

San Francisco, March 25-Twice within week recently J. F. Canihac has been mangled by leopard named "Spitfire" in the Zoo at the Chutes But he insists that he will yet conquer and trairr- he savage beast
 Canihac is Frenchan who has handled wild anials all his life. says the Call. Since the establishment of the Zee at the Chutes he has been employed as one of the train- CTS, his duties consisting in part of teach ing the leopards tricks There are three of these, two of which are fairly well trained.
 "Spitfre" is recent acquisition and so far has shown little inclination to absorb knowledge. One day when Canihac went in to give them their daily lesson Spit fire" resented the intrusion by seizing his foot and lacerating it quite seriously. Af- ter that she was placed in cage by her self, where Canihac thought she would be more easily handled.
 The other day when he went into her cage he found her surly and little inclined perform. The trainers face was pro- tected from her claws by baseball mask. His right hand was incased in heavy and in his left hand he held a chair to keep her from springing upon him.
 The lesson had hardly begun when "Spitfire backed into a corner and before Canihac could raise the chair she sprang upon him, burying her teeth in his right shoulder Then the attendants rushed up and beat her off, while the victim staggered his room, the blood streaming from his wounds.
 "Spitfire," crouching in her cage, licked her massive jaws with relish In a little while she was purring as pleasantly and as innocently as an old tabby cat.

S0UThWALL IN JAIL,
It is Said He Was Caught Once Before But Got
 Off By Hedging Repentance

St. Paul, Minn., March 25-James South wall, accused of indefinitely large trans- actions in bogus time checks, continues an inmate of the county jail. No bail has been offered.
 Today's dispatch alleges that 1.-two offi- cers of the engineering department were in St. Paul a year ago, interviewed South all (correcO, who acknowledged that he had issued about O,OOO worth of the time checks. Southall promised repentance and was allowed immunity. But unfortunately he was also allowed to remain in the office of the engineer at St. Paul and from thai vantage point renewed his industry. Tine estate of the total volume of the checks is still half a million or something less. Reports are coming in, and so far the total is less than $4OO 900, so far as the issues have been disclosed.
 It is said that the government has issued no time checks, such as those negotiated by Southall since 1890 and all bearing any date later than that year are declared to be bogus.

 "Captain Commanding Scouts"
 When Davis was taken before Gen. Dodge he was told that it was a very serious charge brought against him; that he had in his possession accurate information in regard to the Federal army, and he must confess where he obtained it. that he was very young and evidently did not realize the danger he was in. But Davis replied in the firmest voice:
 "Gen. Dodge, I know the danger of my situation, and am willing to take the con- sequences"
 The general then asked him to give the name of the person from whom he got his information, assuring him there was no chance for his life unless he revealed the name He replied:
 s'I know that I will have to die, but l Will not tell where l got my information, ana there is no power on earth that can make me tell. You doing your duty as sol dier and l am doing mine. If l nave 10 die feel that 1 am doing my duty to Goa and my country"
 Repeatedly the Federal general urged hlm to reveal the name, for he felt 1t was Tar more dangerous and important man than this boy.
 The next morning Davis was informed Of the sentence of the court-martial. He was surprised at the severe punishment of hang ing, rather expecting to be shot. Col Shaw. who deserved the execution, was in Jail with Davis, and was greatly alarmed lest the boy at the last moment should confess But his loyalty never faltered.
 At the gallows Capt. Armstrong told him that he had fifteen minutes to live. He then asked the news of the field, and was told that his army had been defeated at Mis- sionary Ridge. He expressed regret, saying, '.The boys will have to fight the battles without me-" Armstrong was moved to say, 'sI regret very much to have to do this I feel that I would almost rather die my self than to do what I have to do."
 The young man answered; q do not think hard of you you are doing your duty.

AN EXPERT ENGINEER
TestiRes As to Accuracy of Captain Carter
 Surveys.

Savannah March 25.-Alexander F. Kas- tie, an expert engineer who has constructed d jettes at the mouth of the Brazes river, Texas, and at Tampico, Mexico was on the stand today for the defense in the Carter court martial.
 Mr. Kastle testified as to the accurancy of the surveys of Capt Carter's work made by himself and Mir. George Y. Wisner.
 Lieut.. Thos. H. Reese, corps of engineers and assistant professor of engineering at West Point, followed him. Lieut.. Reese indorsed all of Capt. Carter's ottce meth- ods. He was located here with Capt. Car ter from 1889 to 1893, and was thoroughly familiar with the office work.
 He stated that chief clerk Sterly had be n detected>in an irreguarity by Capt Carter and corrected. He had never heard of any false pay rolls in the office.
 Col Barr, judge advocate, on cross-ex- animation, endeavored to discredit his testimony by introducing letter written to Lieut. Reese in 1Ss2, purporting to con tain instructions to an assistant engineer to put other matters than labor on the pay roll. This Lieut.. Reese denied was the purpose of the letter and the defense will try to show that this is an improper interpretation. Lieut.. Reese will continue on the stand tomorrow.

COST OF IRON
Will Be Reduced When New Beds of s. l. & s.
 Co. Are Opened

The railroad contractors who are to build the eight mile extension of the Southern railroad from Leeds to the ore mines of the Sloss Iron and Steel com- pany are in the city. As previously stated in The Age-Herald, these contractors have their implements all here. The gangs of workmen will be gotten together today and work on the grades will begin Monday or early next week.
 ,- When this road is completed it will cheapen the cost of pig iron in this dis trict, it is stated. The ore of the new mines which will be opened up possess many advantages over the ores of any oth- CT mines in this district. It is richer, con- tains a better quality of iron, and is easier to smelt The mines are convenient to the furnaces and altogether the advantages possessed by this ore are of such supe- .rior quality, it Is claimed, that the price of iron can be very materially reduced when the new mines are opened
