Two War Stories.

Commissioner OF Pensions Evans,
speaking Of the soldiers of the late war
who should receive pensions, although
they have not applied for such, relates
the following cases that have come un-
der his observation:
Coming over from New York q few
days ago." be said, Il saw soldier on
the train with his head bandaged. |
made some inquiries and he told me he
was member of the Seventy first New
York. He had been shot in the base
OF the skull, the bullet coming out of
his mouth without doing more damage
than knocking out front tooth. was
curious to know how that bullet could
have passed through his head and out
Of his mouth without cutting his tongue
or lips. The young man smiled as he
told the story. lie was in the trenches
and was told not TO raise his head above
the breastworks. His position was such
that, as he thought, he can take the
chance He did so. His mouth WAS
wide open as he peered across the field
in search of the enemy and just then
sharpshoOter perched in one OF the trees
behind the breastworks picked him for
target. The bullet went into the
back OF his head and out of his mouth
before he had time to close up that use
ful organ. His wound was dressed inn
mediately and the young soldier was
hustled to the rear. He says the only
ill-effect he felt was numbness and a
desire to sleep"
HAS he applied for pensiOn2" the
Commissioner was asked.
mo, but be deserves one" was the
reply.
Commissioner Evans also tells sto-
ry of a soldier whose will power alone
saved his life. That soldier was Major
Knox, of the First United States Caval-
Fy, now Inspector General on duty at
the War Department. Maj, Knox had
been shot between the fifth and sixth
ribs, the bullet striking both ribs. He
remained in command of his battalion
for nearly twenty minutes before be
was carried to the rear. His wounds
were examined on the field, and be was
told II he had any word to send to his
friends or relatives he had better think
about it, He was told that his life was
almost spent.
"You are soldier and we shall tell
you the truth" said the physicians.
"You are going to die, You had bet
ter prepare"
But 4 am not going to die" said
Maj. Knox.
rThere is no hope for you," replied
the physicians
The wounded officer was carried to
the hospital, An hour or SO later the
physicians again made an examination
and repeated the comfortable assurance
that his life was fast ebbing away.

physicians.
mot going to die" replied the pa
tient
1t was late in the afternoon when he
was again visited by the physicians.
Once more the Major was told that his
life was but the matter of few hours
duration at the lOngest,

Major.
"You have one chance in hundred, .
replied the physician, "and-"
Gentlemen, broke in the Major, 81

night"
six weeks later the Major walked
into my office on crutches," said the
Commissioner, land he said he never
had the least idea of dying. He is to
day as good a soldier as ever carried I
sword, or commanded battalion of thC
best fighting men on earth"

A RETURNING BABE.
Carried Away Five Years Ago By
 an EIoD!ng Wife.

Last night people at the s. F., P.
 P. depct just before the train left fol
 the north, were attracted by a brigh
 little girl of six, apparently in charge
 of man of general official appear ance. His appearance did not belle
 him, for he was Deputy Sheriff Jeff Davis of Yavapai county. The 1ittlc prisoner had been willingly extradited from Mexico. The deputy sheriff ha6 gotten in yesterday morning from tn. City of Mexico.
 All this is preceded by a story whicf contains one romantic element. Som years ago, a handsome young gir. named News of this county, anC whose relatives now reside near Ft McDowell, married a man by tht name of Stone, from whom she was subsequently, divorced. Eight years ago she married Jack Duff, a wealth! catt1eman of Yavapai county, now iv- ing at Jerome. Mrs. Duff became en- amored of a young cowman of thf same territory and he was also infat uated with her. He converted his cat tie into cash and about five years age he and Mrs. Duff eloped, taking with them a one-year-old babe and boy of five or six, a child of Mrs Duff's by her first husband.
 Duff at once instituted a search. H. did not care for his erring wife, bu he wanted the babe. For a long time he was unable to obtain the first traci of the fugitives. At length, when he did hear of them, it was always aftel they had sought some new and un- known field. A couple of months agt they were located in the City of Mex leo and Deputy Sheriff Davis was sent after the child. It was uncertain whether he could get her, but it wa certain that he could not by law How he succeeded is not known. He safc last night: Her mother gave her UT all night. She beefed a little at first but then she. agreed to let me have her. The child is an unusually pretty and intelligent one. She speaks Spanish and English with equal facility and talks much of he papa. of whom she has only heard She left her. mother without regret The deputy sheriff said that Mrs Duff and her paramcur are still Iin.ne together, but in woeful squalCr an< poverty. The food of each day is em- Differed by the uncertainty that there will be any for the morrow It was perhaps in this distressing condition that she was persuaded to surrender the babe.

A CURIOUS WRECK
In Which, SinguiarIy, Nobody Was
 Hurt.

A wreck attended by miraculous escapes occurred on the Santa Fe Pa cific shortly before 12 o'clock on Sun day night at CuberO, a small station seventy-six miles west of Albuquerque. The engine and four cars of a west bound train were derailed, but with the exception of one man, who receiveI slight injuries in the head, there were no casualties. When the train arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning after delay Of twelve hours, there was only enc Passenger aboard who had been in the wreck. He was c. l.. Loud a commercial fruit man of Pomona. Cal.
 ''It was the biggest wreck with the fewest accidents ever heard of said he. But for a combination of for tunate circumstances there would no dOuE5 have been fatalities.

CRITICISM OF MIR. CARNEGIE.
London Chronicle Moralizes on His
 Retirement From Business.

London, May 1e.-In the course of an editorial article commenting upon the reported intention of MT. Andrew Carnegi to retire from business, and during his lifetime, to spend his mill lions for phiIanthropica purposes. the Chronicle today indulges in severe criticism of the alleged means by which MT Carnegie built up his for tune, and says:
 "We all rene mfber how the Home stead works were shut down for months because the men refused to have their wages lowered, and how barbed wire fences charged with electricity were set up, the place for tifed, Pinkcrtoas sent for, and, finally after a taste of war and siege, the Steel Workers union was smashed to atoms and the millioEaiTe's works were filled with Poles and Hungar ians''

NEW COMBINE NOT A SUCCESS.
Members of the Penn Tobaccci Go.
 Withdraw Fr-ln Pool.

Philadelphia, May 16.-The Penn Tobacco company that was organized last January to control the smoking and plug tobacco concerns in this neighb-rhood, is on the verge Of dis solution, and will in all probability net last ancijher week.
 Several of the largest jobbers in this city distrusIted the concern from the first ard declined to enter it. but about nine firms, representing possibly half the business here, entered the trust and turned over their stock of toGaoccb the agreement being that they should receive for it common stock. The preferred stock was to Ee paid for in cash. The company was chartered in New Jersey, the capital ization fixed at $500,O00.
 A week ago William H. Banton and Brooke & Co. withdrew, and a few days later Harvey D. Narrigan, Sam ueI Shepherd, Charles Langan and F. c. H. Wcerner left. This leaves only MT. Murphy and MT. Ulrich.
 The men who have gene out have started business near their old stores, and will in few days endeavor to get the goods they put in their trust. The cause Of the defection is said to be that a 5 Der cent discount that was promised was not paid, and that they never received compensation for the s5cck they put into the concern

on 8. grade if it had been travelling at the usual rate of speed, there wCuld
 have been Q general smashup. Three cars following the engine were de-
 rallied. The first was a mail car. It tcrpled off its trucks and fell almic6ij bottom side up. A mail clerk was In the car, but he was tl1m5ied about among the bags and received no injuries. There were two tramps on the car. I should say they were on the trucks. After the car tumlbled of, the trucks shot ahead with the tramps clinging to them. Singularly they escaped without a scratch.
 ~'The baggage ear following was left in an inclined position, but it held its trucks. One tramp had possession of the trucks and he also came out without a mark. The third car. . baggage coach, was derailed and two tramps were dealt with easily.
 After it was over the tramps joined in and rendered probably the first service they had ever done for railroad company. They helped run . hand-car to the closest telegraph sta ton. They were on good terms with the trainmen thereafter, and even more than the passengers, they had right to congratulate themselves on their miraculous escape from injury

DAVID AND GOLIAH.
An Address by Lecturer J. H. Camp
 bell Last Night.

J. H. Campbell, the Good Templar | advocate from Iowa, de.iverd very eloquent and thoughtful address in the Presbyterian church last night
 upon '"The Modern David aIId the Ga-
 liah of Today He prefaced his re-
 marks with a brief description of the
 giant GoIiah and the boy David, and q
 rehearsal of the events in which they
 figured so prominently. He said
 these events occurred thirty centuries
 ago, and that the world had made gi-
 ganitic strides in progress in all lines
 since then, but that there were evils
 in cur land today that must be eradi-
 catedl, notwithstanding our bo2sted
 enlightenment and progress. On one
 side is arranged today the church and
 auxiliary organizations banded to-
 gether for the avOwed purpose of puri-
 flying and elevating and saving man
 kind. Over across the valley on the
 opposite ridge are the forces of evil, where everything is vile and debasing, and whose influence irreSistib4y drags men down t5 impurity and degreda
 tion Stalking in front Of this host is the giant of intemperance. Two hund
 red and forty thousand saloons in the United States are daily and nightly plying their trade, and one hundred thousand men fill drunkards' graves each year. He said that in 1899 cne hundred thousand American b-ys must take their first drink to fill the gap left in the ranks of the moderate drinkers left by those who have grad uated into the drunkards' class, and who in turn had taken the places of those who had gone down to drunk ards graves. Gcliah is marching the land today, as in the days of old wearing the breastplate of le- gal protection in the form of a license. and before him marches his shield bearer, who is no less a parsonage than Uncle Sam, who says that for q pa,try license fee he will guarantee the giant an unmolested existence.
 He said on enc occasion he asked who "Uncle Sam was, and a voice from the audience sang out, You and me and all the other fellCws.' But, said he. we cannot charge the women with being responsible for this ccndi- tion, for she has net been given an opportunity to speak CT rather vote her mind, except in four or five states. In Iowa, he said, she was classed with the idiots, criminals Indians and Chi nese (impo1ted).
 His plea for a united effort by ali the forces of Christianity and morality for the saving of the young men and young w,cmen, and the purifying of our nation was an eloquent and mas terly effort and was listened to with rapt attention by the large audience.

Impeachment cf Louisville's Mayor Demanded for AdveI Using Fight.

Louisville, May 16.-The worst com plication that has ever arisen, Polit- ically, in Kentucky has just presented itself in this city.
 As a result of the fight over the city advertising, which is quite profitable, and for which two of the local news papsrs are struggling, charges have been openly made against Mayor Charles P. Weaver and others proni- nent in the administration to the ef- feet that they have bribed certain councilmen and aldermen in order to secure their votes for the Louisville Times, the afternoon edition of the Courier-Journal, a sound money dem- ocratic sheet. Charges will be pre- ferred against the mayor in the board Of aldermen next Thursday night and impeachment demanded.

MAY END TODAY.
All inc Evidence in inc Wilson
 Murder Trial In.

The last evidence in the case o'
 Ienrv Wilson. on trial fer the murder f James c. Davenport, was put in ate yesterday aftern0cm. The for
 ersic contest will begin this morning nd it will he worth going to hear.
 The testimony Of yesterday was Eos of special interest. 1t was in rebuttal or
 , reiteration of what had gone before.
 The most interesting move was made
 ate in the day when the jury was re- moved and Judge Baker arose and Of
 cred in evidence the record of tho
 indictment cf George w. Hunter in
 Tavapai couE,y in 1892 for murder, his
 subsequent trial and conviction of nansla=ghter. The record was ready, Judge Baker said, and he also had a
 witness . identify the defendant Wilson as the George w Hunter of he Yavapai record. The witness was ,x-Sheriff J. l.. LCwrey, who served as ;heriff Of Yayapai county fll-m 1891 to 1895.
 Judge Baker explained that his ob- iect was to discredit Wilson as a wit ness and not to injure him as a de- iendant. The crime for which he had )een indicted was one involving great neral turpitude and lack of tender lesS Of heart, and his testimony at the rial under that indictment was of character to cast a shadow upon his evidence in this case.
 Judge Baker wasN not especially in sistent. He admitted that there were authorities for and against the ad- mission Of such records. He cited a lew in support of admission and Judge campbell fer the defense briefly re- piled that they were inapplfcable. as
 he decisions were rendered under statutes specially providing for th.s kind Of evidence.
 Judge Baker said he desired Q decis- on on this point, not so much on ac- count of it's effect upon the present ease. He desired that if the record 0f three times killer could not b., trawn upon him in the trial for l1uTth homicide that that inability might be presented to the next legsi- ature for amendment
 ''If that's all you want" renlied 'udge Campbell, you need not be in l hurry; wait, and you will have time Q try it On defendant of yours.o
 The court weighed the case with great care. He believed thai in tha 1bsence Of special statutes such testi- nony as had been offered could be accepted only under English decis- lHns- The only statute in this terri -ory favOring the admission, was enc proVldlnS generally for the impeacb henl or witnesses. It was true that ID thls case the defendant had elected Q take the stand, but the record could n-t re drawn upon him in cross exam lnatlon, since it touched upon a mat. .er W.1ich ne had not testified upon ln his examination in, chief The court also drew a distinction between ] witness in general and a sisfendan1 witness, and concluded by directing an order denying the offer.

A MANILA NEWSPAPER.
Filled With Stories of Bravery and
 Beer

MT. Charles Mustard of the
 Phosnix Mill company has late ly received a copy of Free dOm," a newspaper published at
 Manila. That particular issue was de
 scriptive of the fall of Malabon. The
 description of the bravery of the
 American troops >is almost Hom-
 eric in it's grandeur. Here
 is a sample from that section allotted
 to the First Washington regiment:
 ''Pn.vates Pinney and Ward marked
 their names, fer when the full story
 of this campaign is written they will
 stand in the lists of heroes. Pinney's left arm was shot off and Wards left hand and in that condition they re-
 treated with the mortaTly wounded Courtney, Pinney assisting his dying comr3de with his sound arm, Ward protecting their retreat with his, and during that painful march a constant battle between sharpshoOters was waging. Such has been some of the grand work of this grand body of vol
 unteers, but it was by no misans their first for before Santa Ana and the taking of San Pedro, in company with the men of Idaho, they forever dis tinguiShCd themselves as soldiers and fighters of the nerviest and bravest kind. It was then the late and much loved Captain Fortson won the plaud- it's; yes, and especial mention of reccmm endation iri General Kings official report. His feat of leading h.s brave company B across the Concordia which they waded breast deep, is enough in itself to have won him un- dying fame. But F0rts0n is dead. He died as he had lived, a man every inch of him. His last words were of his wife and the brave men who again and again followed him to victory"
 Freedom resembles in its me appearance many Of the news journals of Austra1a and some of the provincial parsrs of England, only it is filled with thrilling news told in most interesting style. There is after all, sc:rething beside news. Adver- f isements. among which the .besr bull Ietins predominate.

A HARQUA HALA MINE.
An Impending Transaction Of I'm
 portance

Captain P. P Parker returned yes terday in company with g mining ex- pert from Los Angeles, from a trip to the San Marcos mining district abollt four miles from Harrisburg and within fourteen miles of the Harqua Hala mine He is interested in the sale Of a mine in that district to capitalists, some living in Phoenix and others in New York and Los Angeles. They hold an option on the property which will expire in twenty days, and it is their present intention, if the property proves satisfactory. to combine for it's purchase. The property will likely develop into one of the largest gold propositions in the territory. It Is owned by 4. G. Wi.s0n, a miner so astute in his line that he recognized the fact that there were hidden treas uTCS in that section even after the oldest prospector who had trodden the same ground had advised him that the region was barren. He located the property about a year ago.
 MT. Parker places implicit conf dence in the mine and says that all the experts who nave examined it hith- erFc. have been more than satisfied.
 Although it has been located only 8 year and only a small amount of d2 velopment work has been done" s2id MT. Parker yesterday, it is mine al ready. and a big enc at that. There is no shaft sunk farther than fOrty-fve feet below the surface, but over S1 ,000, 900 Of free milling ore is in sight. The amount of ore seems al most ineXhaustible. We have traced the outcroppings for 800 feet, but not many shafts have been sunk. The vein vii. average near the surface about fifteen feet in width, but deeper down we have only explored one wall IL may be much wider. The ore of tho vein runs from S14 to $50, ard gets richer with depth, and ere outside. but 9 aGjcinipg carries over SS. Of course there are pockets whi1h carry several hundred dollars in gold, but beside them there is enough gold in sight to justify me in saying that the San Marcos group is bigger than any gold proposition in the territory which has been so meag2"ly developed"
 The formation is Of a light porpny- rous quartz, and the ledge dips in an inclination of about forty degrees.
