blown up, the officers would have said
something that day.
Word was sent by released prisoners
that IL shot was fired from either side
Of the river at the Pawnee when she
passed down both the towns of Nor
folk and Portsmouth would be laid in
ashes. The Pawnee arrived with a
regiment of soldiers, who had moth
ing to do but to stand guard and load
the powder on the Pawnee. Some of
the idle ones set fire to one Of the ship
houses before it was time, and it took
two or three hours to put out the blaze.
The soldiers We're then put below, and
the matches battened down. They made
a terrible racket, but they had to stay
there. The PaWnee carried away big
load. She had the regiment, a deck
load of powder, the sailors and ma
rines of the Pennsylvania, the marine
guard Of the navy yard and her own
crew. The fire on the Pennsylvania
discharged the shotted guns, and the
starboard ripped into the yard, and the
port battery pounded the island of st.
Helena. The general confagration
was a terrible scene. The memory Of
the noise of the guns, the cracking of
the buildings on fire, the monster ship
houses in flames, and the shooting up
into the sky Of great streams of fire
will never fade from my mind. I
watched the brilliant spectacle all
night, and the following day and night,
from the deck Of the Keystone State,
laying with the Cumberland and Paw
nee at Fortress Monroe, for the con-
tents of the yard burned three days.

to eVacuate the place upon the ARRIVAL
Of the Pawnee, which, it was said,
would be sent with a regiment CT Mas
sachusetts troops on board to assist In
the destruction and bear us away. L
learned that the administration had
been informed that it was impossible to
hold the yard with the force at hand.
On this very day delegation from
the 1000 employees of the yard called
upon the Commodore and pledged
themselves to stick by the government
and protect its property. They asked
for arms, offered to do guard duty, and
even to enlist. But the Commodore
evidently would not trust them. He
broke off all communication between
the city and the yard and the ships and
the shore. Sentinels were trebled. The
orders were to shoot suspects on sight.
Armed boats patrolled the river day
and night, and ropes were sunk and
stretched across above and below the
yard to prevent the passage of any kind
of craft Then the work Of destruction
began.
Captain Sinclair, ranking as Lieuten-
ant Commander, and the executive otti-
GER, Lieutenant PoindeXter, came
aboard the Pennsylvania at daybreak
and in the presence of the crew resign
ed from the navy. Captain Sinclairs
eyes filed with tears when he an
nounced that as his State, Virginia, had
seeded he felt his resignation neces-
sary. Lieutenant Poindexter spoke in
the same strain. They then shook
hands with the crew and left the ship
This turned the Pennsylvania over to
the command of the boatswain's mate.
Parties of sailors and marines were
sent in squads, some to spike guns,
others with sledges to disable machin-
cry in the various buildings, and others
to destroy rifles and small arms, and
cast them into the river. We got pow
der from the magazines to lay trains in
the yard The powder that was not
used was put on board the Pawnee
upon her arrival. There were between
1000 and 5000 heavy guns lying
around the yard and the island Of St.
Helena opposite. Our ship lay between
the yard and the island, and command
ed both with her guns. We could have
undoubtedly held the place at least
long enough to secure and take away
much of this material of war. There
were five ships moored fast fore and
aft in the middle of the river, and all
their noses pointed down stream.
Among them were the frigates Raritan,
Columbia and United States Told Iron
sides), the Pennsylvania, and the pow
erful frigate Merrimac lay alongside
the dock The sloop-of-war Germantown
was under the shears and ready for
sea. There were two ships on the
ways, the 74-line-of-battle ship New
York being unfinished and in the ship
house. l think there were all told
twelve men-of-war at the station, but
none in commission except the Penn
sylvania, whose guns were spiked last
On the fourth afternoon Of destruction.
Orders were given to place great
quantities of powder in the holds of all
the ships, and to lay trains thereto.
This was religiously done In the case
of the old ships, but it was not done
with the Merrimac. This vessel, as

NIorcau's Rif1emeu.

The rifle corps which Morgan formed
from marksmen from the whole army
is usually referred to as "Morgan's Vir-
ginians," but, as matter of fact, two
thirds of them were Pennsylvanians,
including a considerable number Of
Pennsylvania Germans. One of the
latter, Mr.. Lauk, who was with Nor
gan from the beginning to the end Of
the war, was the last survivor of the
corps. Once when Morgan was asked
which race of those composing the
American armies made the best SOL
diers, he replied: GAS for the fighting
part of the matter, the men of all races
are pretty much alike. They fight as
much as they find necessary, and no
more But, sir, for the grand essential
in the composition of a good soldier,
give me the 'Dutchman'-he staryes
well."-Harper's Magazine.

The Samoan Problem.

Malietoa is recognized as the
legal King of Samoa by the
United States and England.
Mataafa is backed by Germany.
Both of these natives claimed
to have been elected by their
people. Chief Justice Cham
bers decided in favor OF Ma
lietoa. Mataafa, aided by the
German Consul, established a
rival government. This led to
the present conflict.
Each of the three Govern
ments exercising protectorate
over Samoa, has chosen a com
missioner. This commission is
to settle the controversy, II
will sail for Samoa April IL
from San Francisco. The com
missioners are: Bartlett Tripp,
American; Freiherr Won Stern,

ish.
The gravity of the Samoan
trouble lies in the possibility Of
complications that may lead tc
clash between the United
States and Germany.-Post

Horses Trail of Blood.

A gentleman who travelled
over the road from here to
Tompkinsville one day last
week. in talking with Il News
man of his trip, said: i tell
you, the roads are in q worse
condition than | ever saw them.
| had rather start to Boston TO
day than to start back to Temp
llinsville. Why, L could almost
trace every step the horses
take by the bloodstains left on
the ground. The ground was
frozen just enough to cut the
horses feet, all to pieces, and
the poor animals hobbled along
like they were walking on
glass, and every now and then
sinking in frozen mud up to
their knees aud pulling their
feet out dripping with blood.
Occasionly the y horse would
give groan of pain, and or
looking down one could see
blood trickling down from 4
fresh cut on their swollen legs
How the mails ever got through
can't understand. [ think the
mails ought to be stopped unit
the roads get SO they can be
travelled without inRictin% such
crucl punishment on the horses.

Old maids are not all un-

When man is homesick he
is so ashamed of it he makes
himself believe it is business
worry.
Lots of women who are too
honorable to read letters which
don't belong to them would risk
their souls to discover who
wrote them.
Nothing makes a woman SO
suspicious as to have her hus-
baud announce that hereafter
he is going to let her have her
own way inreverything.
If women stayed out all
night and came home in cabs
just before breakfast they
would make much better eX.
cuses and much less trouble
than the men.
Most women would rather be-
pursued and fall than, not to be
pursued at all.

political Mormon missionaries IN this city;
the cloven hoof is concealed, only the sugar
coating of this nauseous pill is being offered
but ttat this constitutes the body of the
Mormon system was more than proved by
the evidence of leading Mormon authorities
quoted by Mr.. Sweet. Every denial made
In the protest Of the Mo,mops was com.
pletely set aside, particularly on the sub
ject of polyRsmy. Since President Wood
ruff issued hi prudential suggestion that
plural marriages he foi the time being
avoi dGd ap fort has been made to induce
the belief that the church has repudiated
poly gamy. Mr.. Sweet explained that only
the public marriage ceremony was meant
and that The pOlygamistic relation has not
only not been condemned but has most
tmphatically been affirmed and indicated
by the dignitaries of MOrmonism in very
recent declarations. Indet d the mission
aries now In this city have done SO within a
few days. Mr.. Sweet called lady to her
feet who testified that these men had argued
with her i'm her own home in support of
polygamy and had used tire Bible to induce
convictions. Our citizens ought TO be on
guard against these deceivers of the people
aud resent their efforts at making prosylites
for this beastly conglomeralon of supersti-
ton, tyranny, disoyalty and nastiness.
