JOHN BROWNS RAID.

| James w. Hunter, or MartinSburg,
West Virginia, one of the few persons
living who witnessed the stirring
events of John Browns time, has
written a story Of the days of 80 for
Thomas DIV. Williams OF La Grange.
The account was written in October,
1893, but never has been printed. Fol
lowing is the story:
4Early in the fall OF 1859 John
| Brown, with small force of men, 10.
Gated in the state of Maryland, about
two miles from Harpers' Ferry. He
protested to be prospecting for ore,
and remained there seven or eight
weeks.
@He established his headquarters in
an old log school house where we
afterward found about 400 spears, the
weapons he had provided his men to
fight with.
saw him every week as he came
to the mill where 1 was working for
his flour and feed. No one dreamed
that he intended to seize Harper's
Ferry, but about IL o'clock one Sun
day night he, with twenty-five armed
men, black and white, took possession
or the Government works and ar
mories at that place. He placed SEN
tinels over the arsenal and Govern
ment arms, with orders to fire if at
tackled.
"Fhere was great excitement when
the citizens learned what had taken
place. The army officers rushed
down to see what the trouble was and
the sentinels placed them under as
rest and put them in the old engine
house, which was Browns headquar-
tiers at that place. No one could get
back to tell what was going on. The
first man killed was a negro who
worked at the Baltimore and Ohio
depot. Browns men wanted him to
take part With them, but he refused
to do SO. believe his name was Hay
wood.
"A man named Burley went down
to shoot the sentinel but was killed
by the latter instead. The next was a
man named Turner, from Charlestown
who came down with gun and was
shot by the same sentinel. Then
came the mayor of Harper's Ferry,
whom they let out of the guard house
on parole Of honor to get something
to eat. He did not return, and while
walking on the railroad was shot from
Browns headquarters. Then the
sentinel was shot and killed by DR.,
Starry with shotgun,
"Dr. Starry shot from store win.
dow.
meanwhile the citizens had or
ganized 100 well armed men who had
divided into four companies. One
company was sent across the Potomac
the second to the ferry, the third to
the bridge across the Shenandoah
and the fourth, to which I belonged,
was sent to the rifle works on the
Shenandoah river. Captain Cagai
and four Of Browns men had poses
zion Of the works at the time. Our
company was divided into two squads
one Of which was sent down to the Is.
land to prevent them from getting
to the ferry where Brown was. Our
other squad came down over the hill
and attacked them. They saw US
coming and fred on us. AS soon as
they had fired their volley,they threw
themselves into the river where one
one Of them was drowned. The other
four got over the breast OF the dam,
where we fred upon them, killing
two of them instantly and wounding
another, while the fourth surrender
ed. We got boat and recovered tho
dead bodies from the river and buried
them.
"T'he companies then all got to.
gether and recognized at the ferries.

with the lion and brethren shall dwell
together in unity.
The harmony, 1t seems, is to COM
mence with Mr.. Mckinley, who will use
his influence to unseat Senator Kenney
and put Mr.. Addicks i'm his place. 1t
will thus be seen that the object of the
Unions is to get Addicks in the Senate,
and all else they can. What is to fol-
low is plain to be seen. The article
states that the Regulars object to join
ing them because, being in q minority,
they think they. will be outvoted and
get none of the spoils.
They. the Unions, claim TO be able to
beat not only the Democrats, but the
Regulars also, and to elect their candi-
dates for governor Congress and all
other officers in the state and counties
1t is singular that II this is the case
they should be so anxious for help from
the Regulars against their old foes, the
Democrats, and should be afraid OF Sc
curing recognition from Mr.. Mckinley
after showing him that they compose
the whole Republican party in this. ant
upon their vote the three electoral vote
depended. if they succeed in carrying
IL for him. II their boast Is all true
/ what do tney want with any part OF tht
Regular forces. lt would seem that the
battle would be detrimental to them
and would only cause disaffection by
claiming a part of the spoils after the
victory had been won by the superior
tactics and greater numbers of the
Unions. By staying apart the Unions
according to their claim, would not
only be able TO carry the whole state
but no Others would be entitled to any
part of the credit for doing it. II they
are sincere in this and believe them
selves able to do It they would be fool
ish TO give any part OF the spoils to
those whose services can be of no man
ner of use TO them, but who may be a
positive disadvantage. It may rather
be considered that their assertions are
merely a huge bluff and they have no
reason to believe in the truth Of what
they say.
