One incident that General Noble re-
;ates with pride is an experience of
two of the cavalryInen of the company
X of his regiment. After the defeat at
Camtown the company. as stated, was
retreating When they were about six
miles from Ripley they were attacked
on the flank by the enemy and the two
cavalrymen. Charles W. Sherman and
James Mason, had their horses shot
from under them. As 4 result they
were compelled to travel by night and
sleep in the daylight. After many mar
row escapes the two men arrived on
the 14th of June ut Lafayette Station,
ON the NJ. X G. Railway. This was In
the early dawn, and they marched
along the tracks, hoping to reach safe
~ by night While crossing piece of
low ground they were Joined, one at
a time, by eleven men belonging to
colored troops of their expedition and
who had become scattered in the con-
fusion of retreat.
The negroes were worn out by their
long travel and their clothes were torn
In shreds from the briars through
which they had passed. Fortunately

added to the number of meeting places,
and at three big demonstrations the topic
of intellectual Life was discussed by a
number of well-known speakers.
While speeches and song occupied the
three days sessions, so far as the mass of
the delegates is concerned, business of an
important character received attention at
the hands of the board of control.
Taking into consideration the fact that
the Epwortb League, as an organization.
has had but decade of existence, the
showing made at the conference this year
was little less than marvellous. The or
ganization was given birth at confer
ence of young Methodists held in Cleve-
land in 1889. Before the Cleveland ses-
sion numerous societies existed in the
Methodist Church North, and it was at
this conference that a majority of them
united and started the big organization
The Methodist Church South also entered
the new movement with enthusiasm, and
at Memphis in 1890 organized the first
branch. More than 25,000 local chapters
have been organized and the aggregate
membership now approaches the 1900,

ROBERT d ineeRsoLL DEAD.
Noted Lawyer and Agnostic Orator
uccumbs to Apoplexy.

Robert Green Ingersoll, famous lawyer
and lecturer, died Friday afternoon of
apoplexy at his home, Dobbs Ferry, ". Y.
Robert G.. Ingersoll was born in Dres-
den, n. Y, Aug l., 1888. His father
was Congregationalist clergyman Of
such liberal views that he was prosecuted
for them, and in his early life Robert g.
Ingersoll imbibed an intense hatred of
Calvinism, which grew with his growth,
and finally made him an aggressive oppo-
ncnt of all generally received forms of re-
ligion.
By the removal of his family to the
West Mr.. lngersolrs boyhood was spent
partly in Wisconsin and partly in Illinois.
He studied law and in partnership with
his brother began its practice in Shaw
neetown. In 1857 he went to live ut
Peoria, H., and there laid the foundation
of lucrative practice In 1862 he be
came captain of the Eleventh Illinois cav
airy, and after the war was over he be
gan to be heard as an orator. In 1865
he became colonel of the Eleventh Illinois
cavalry. In 1866 he was appointed At
torney General for Illinois. He was an
intimate friend of President Lincoln and
President Garfield, and profound adj
mirer of Roscoe Conkling
In 1876 Mr.. Ingersoll proposed the
name of James G.. Blaine in the national
Republican convention in speech so
eloquent that his own fame, hitherto
somewhat restricted, extended to all parts
of the country. In 1877 he refused the
post of minister to Germany. As law
yer Mr.. Ingersoll had been connected
with the most famous modern cases. He
defended the ''star route" case and was
associated with others of. national impOr-
tance.
Col. Ingersoll was perhaps the ablest
exponent of free thought the world has
known. Although he was the inveterate
enemy of the Christian religion, such men
as Henry Ward Beecher and Bishop Pot
ter We're among his personal friends. AT
one time Col. Ingersoll was ON the Su
preme bench of Illinois. During the last
two years he had made New York his

KILLS MOTHER AND HERSELF.
Illinois Woman Commits Double Crime
After Shooting Her Husband.

Mrs. George Kruger, who killed her
mother and herself after attempting to
murder her husband at their home near
Long Grove, H., has been declared in
sane by the coroner's jury. The husband
escaped with a slight wound in the arm.
The deed was the outcome of years of
family Quarreling. The aged mother,
Mrs. Margaret Noss, owned the farm,
and with her daughter domineered over
the husband in way that caused con-
slant trouble. Krueger's wife ordered him
10 leave the house, but he did not do SO.
The quarrel continued the next day, and
in the afternoon Krueger left. When
he returned about > o'clock his wife met
him at the door with a revolver and fired
at him. The bullet directed at his heart
struck his suspendcr buckle and glanced
off into the left arm. Thoroughly fright
ened the man turned and fled to neigh
bor's house. When the farmers later
visited the house they found the women
both dead, shot through the head.

John F. Owens, substitute.

There died in q Washington hospital
the other day an Irishman who attain
ed a certain notOriety generation ago
through having been accepted as sub
stitute in sle Union army for John E.
Owens, the comedian. Owens was a
resident of Baltimore County, Mary
land, his home being just beyond Bal
timOre city. The demand Of the coun-
try for her proportion of, the States
quota, under the second reQuisition of
President Lincoln for soldiers during
the civil war, lacked forty-seven CT
completion, and Owens was drafted as
one Of the delinquent number. Owens,
through his overseer, arranged with
stalwart young farmland, recently en-
plOyed upon his plantation, to take his
place in the army for so much money
down. Several Of Owens friends drove
out to the rendezvous with him on the
Thursday to witness his transfer Of
prospective military honors to Michael
O'DOwd. This was soon over, and the
party returned to Barnum's Hotel,

the night to commemorate the event,
after which Owens was driven out
home. Shortly after arriving there he
was sound asleep. About 2 o'clock the
dogs set up brisk barking. Mrs.
Owens, being aroused. laid hands on
her husband and said:
John, wake up. Some one is calling
you"
Huh, whatY' said the sleepy come
dian.
Look out the window" urged his
wife. I'm sure something unusual has
happened"
Owens threw up the window, and
peering into the night with eyes that
almost refused to open, called, who's
there? Who wants me?"
A rich Irish brogue broke the air
with: AN is that you, Mister OwensT
''Of course it is" replied Owens.
"Air you all right, sor?"
"Of course I'm all right" and then,
refiectively, tight, too. What do you
want?"
Can they do anything with you,
sor?" fioated up in the brogue.
"Can they do anything with meT
repeated Owens.
"The Gineral. sor-can he take you
for a soldier now?"
''Nol'' said Owens. ''I'm all right; I've

This was true. The Irishman made
his way to Canada and remained until
the close of the war, when ne returned,
and through the efforts of Owens, who
never ceased to be amused at his sub
stitute's escape, he got employment as
a watchman about Washington thea
ter, which he never surrendered until
taken to the hospital short time be
fore his death.
