as that which threatened them in the
quiet Of a point far removed from the
roar of battle. =
Wounded men, said the Major,
'1had stranger experiences than sur
geons. The night Of December 81,
1862, at Stone River, was very cold.
In that part Of the field most fercely
fought over the wounded could not be
cared for. Thousands of poor fellows
in blue and as many in gray suffered
intensely, and from neither Of the
watchful lines could relief be sent.
Our men had, as rule, full haver
sacks, and each man had his overcoat
and one blanket, e1ceptin the cases
where these had been thrown away in
the excitement of battle or panic. [
had no blanket. I was so severely
wounded in the arm, and had been SO
weakened by loss Of blood before /
dropped down, that I lay for some
hours in sort Of numb, unrealizing
condition. But after time, dull as
my senses were, the complaints and
calls of the wounded disturbed me.
At last I shook myself clear Of the
dead about me and sat up.
Gradually an understanding Of the
terrible situation came to me- I was
seriously wounded, but I knew that
there were scores about me wounded
to the death, helpless to protect them
selves against the cold. I struggled
to my feet, and ,yfnding that my legs
were all right, stumbled over to where
a poor fellow was crying out in the
bitterness of suffering. He was prac-
tically frozen to the ground. With
my one hand l took blankets from
those who never would need them
again and was piling them over him,
when a voice said: why not give me
one?' turned, and there sat, against
tree, man in gray, who had watch
ed all my manoeuvres and said not a
word. He was not of the complaining
kind, but said he was suffering in
tensely. I helped him as we'll as |
could to where other men lay, and in
time placed, at his suggestion, half a
dozen as close together as I could, the
theory being that the warmth Of their
bodies would keep them from perish
ing.
ssAs 1 moved among the cedars I
found two Confederates, wounded, like
myself, in the arm. We gathered in
groups many Of those more severely
wounded. This had to be done slow
ly, because any great exertion pros
trated us. We had so little strength
that it took an hour to do what, had
we been we'll, we could have done in
a few minutes. When the sun came
on the morning Of January 1 it found
some alive who could not have lived
through the night had it notbeen for
our care, poor as it was. .

Prayers on the Wing.

An officer Of the Forty.seyenth New
York Regiment, stationed at San Juan,
writing to his mother in Brooklyn,
says:
Sergeant Robertson Of ours shared
4 very pretty bird in the woods before
Ssas uanson Thursday last. He had
been asked by relative Of his in Gin
cinnati to send him as many speci-
mems Of Porto Rican birds as he could
get, and it was while pursuing his
friendly duty that he captured some
thing like an oriole, but much smaller
and more snowy plumage.
On taking the bird from the snare,
the Sergeant was surprised. to find
attached to one Of its legs by string
a bit Of pasteboard about half the size
Of small visiting card, on which was
written in Spanish:
HOf your charity pray for the soul
Of Julie Valdez
Sergeant Robertson, in order to
satisfy public curiosity, made inqui-
ries as to the identity Of Julie Valdez
in San Juan. Owing to his ignorance
Of Spanish, he was not successful till
he fell in with Senor Printos.
81 was well acquainted with Julie
Valdez" said Senor Printos, and
could tell you many stories about her
eccentricities. Julie died last year,
and closed checkered career in, 20
her, manner natural enough. The
sonora was the widow Of a Spanish
General, who left her an annuity Of
1000 pesetas. Half Of this sum she
spent in wine, fourth in charity and
the other fraction in her domestic
affairs.
"Some time after the Easter term
Of 1897 Julie, feeling that she was
growing old and realizing that her end
was near, went down to the store of
Senor Romerez on St. Jago street, and
bought all the birds in his establish
ment, tied cards like that you have in
your hand round their legs and gave
them :heir liberty by whisking them
into the air. =
Soon after liberating the birds, her
health failed rapidly, and hence she
proceeded to make her grave. She
dug hole in hillock in front Of her
house, which hole she lined with fine
wool, and over the wool she placed a
screen made out of her silk and satin
gowns. She next lowered coffin into
the grave, also lined with silk. and of
the coffin she made her bed for the
rest of her days.
She died in it, and by an arrange
ment she had ingeniously contrivcd a
lid covered with grass and flowers

hours. Boston GloJc.

five years aud six months in the peni-
tertiary for shooting Peter Myers in

leased from Jail under $4,000 bail, pend
ing the supreme courts answer to his
request for a new trial ON Dec. % a

court.
Attorney John T. Scrasa, leading
counsel for Keller. went 20 Easton on

granted stay of proceedings. 1t is
stated he was chiefly influenced by the
refusal Of the lower court to compel
the district attorney to call Special Off

an eyewitness to the shooting. His
testimony would have been favorable
to Keller.

Climate of Cape Colony.

From Good W OrdS.
The climate of Cape Colony and in
deed of South Africa may be compared
to that of the south of Europe and
the north of Africa, with snow ON the
highlands and subtrOpical belts on the
lowest-lying parts as in Natal, Zu1u-
land and MashOnanland. 1t may be
roughly said that any part or South
Africa is better for those suffering
from chest complaint than is the Clim-
ate of our home country, at the most
trying time of the year. But those
who come to South Africa hoping 70
escape from this disease should not as
a general rule delay on the coast.
The cape peninsula is delightful Cor
most people, but il Is not by any means
best for these who ere constitutional"
inclined TO consumption. They must
leave the coast, no matter how many
inducements there may he for them
to stay and climb the tableland which
faces them at whatever port they
may land. At irregular distances from
the sea We have probably nowhcre
more than hundred miles of lovely
ing coast land before we ascend, once
on the tableland, so far as climate
goes, il matters not in what direction
health seekers proceed the climate is
equally good.

ISAAC LEWIS BODY.
Was Not Recovered Up to an Early
Hour This Morning.

The search for the body Of Isaac
LeVy-Who was supposed to have COM
mitted suicide in the river at Wilkes
Barre--Was abandoned last evening.
The work of the men employed by
the relatives of Mr.. Levy was so SER
iously hampered by the cold and the

Nothing new had been learned up
10 l o'clock this morning to warrant
the belief that the mysterious suicide
was other that Isaac Levy. The de-
scriptiOn of the man seen to force
himself beneath the surface tallies eX-
actly with Isaac Levy, who has been
missing since Friday
An Associated Press dispatch re-
ceived at The Tribune office early
tns morning says in cOrroboration of
the foregoing:
Wilkes Barre, Jan. 1.-Isaac Levy, a
prominent citizen nf WiIkes-Barre, has
been missing from his home since Friday.
1t is now believed he was the man who
lost his life by drowning in the SusQuc-
hanna river Friday evening. Drcdgcs have
been at work trying to recover the body
nut the cold weather brought these opera
lions 10 a close tonight. 1t is feared the
strong current has carried the body far
down the river and it may not he rccOv-
cred until IA thaw breaks IN the ice.

DOWN BELOW ZERO.
Weather Man Gets in His Fine Work
During Yesterday.

The prediction of the governments
weather mandatory was fulfilled.
The cold wave appeared on schedule
time and was just as severe as Uncle

under 80 small degree of cold as two
below zero at midnight last night can
thank their stars they were not on the
Pocono. There the thermometer reg
istered s degrees below zero at o'clock
this morning and the mercury showed
no signs of fatigue. TIP in the WaVer-
~ region at the same hour the wealth
or king was two degrees stronger and
crowded the record down TO 20 degrees
below the cipher point.
y The only redeemng feature of this
condition when The Tribune went to
press this morning was the entire abb
sence of wind. There was absolutely
none of it, In consequence the SCran-
ton Railway company and the steam
railroads had prospects of an open"
day today. There were oceans of loose
snow lying around, but it was destined

THE Won sToRcH SHUT DOWN
Structure Is to Be Raised and Re-
modelled.

some weeks ago the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company posted a notice
at the Won Storch breaker notifying the
men that the breaker would be shut
down on the last of December, to enable
them to raise the breaker and make
some changes necessary for the loading
of gondolas and house cars. For the
past month lumber has been hauled
ana there is now over 100000 feet of
lumber on the ground.
The breaker shut down Saturday and
a gang of men commenced Immediate
ly to store away belts ready for the
removal of some of the machinery nec-
essary for the raising of the structure.
While this work is being done a large
force of men will work on the wash
cry which the company has decided to
build to use up the large Culm dump in
which there are millions of tons of coal.
The work will be pushed as rapidly
as possible and it is expected 10 be
ready to operate by the first of April.
