sieged by vastly superior numbers.
Fortunately, d fierce storm of thunder
and lightning ragged for hours and pre-
vented the French from attacking. At
nightfall Washington capitulated and
marched forth with the honors of war
Just 81 years after the contretemps
in the wilderness the 4th of July dawn
ed under brighter auspices for Virgin
las favorite son. That day, 1775, Gen
eral George Washington issued his first
order to the colonial army at Cam
bridge. There was no union then and
little cohesion among the colonies, and
he anticipated the great event of July
4, 1916, by asking that in the army ''all
distinction of colonies be laid aside"
Two years later, in his camp at Norris
town, he inaugurated the celebration
by the army of the anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence.
There is a gap in the chronology of
important events in our annals which
occurred July 4, extending from 1916
to 1904. Nathaniel Hawthorne was
born at Salem, Mass, July 4, 1904
Three great observation-disclosures Ad-
ans and Monroe-and the most bril-
liant orator of the era when the results
of the war were harvested by wise
setts passed away on anniversaries of
the nations birth.
Jefferson and Adams, two of the
founders of liberty in the new world,
died the same day, July 4, 1926. These
two patriots, Jefferson of Virginia and
Adams of Massachusetts, had been the
most conspicuous in the throng of de-
termined men on July 4, 1916, when
the burning words of Patrick Henry,
Liberty or deathw became the watch
word of the colonists in congress as
sembled. Ames died July 4, 1903.
James Monroe, founder of the doc
trine that foreign interference with
American republics will not be tolerat-
ed, died July 4, 1881.
There was a scurrying among dele
gates to be in their places early on July
4, 1776, when the vote was taken on
the Declaration. Caesar Rodney rode
80 miles in saddle to place Delaware
on record. The journal of the proceed
ings of congress contains the following
simple announcement of the history
making event:
"Agreeably to the order of the day,
the congress resolved itself into com
mittee of the whole to take into their
further consideration the Declaration,
and after some time the president re-
sumed the chair, and Mr. Harrison re-
ported that the committee have agreed
to a declaration which they desired to
have him report. The Declaration, be-
ing read, was agreed to-"
The result of the vote was announced
to the assembly at o'clock in the aft
ernoon.

Death of Three Presfdents-A Brief
Note From the Record of Congress.
1t was a curious stroke of fortune
that led to the humiliation of the Brit
ish arms on July A. 1854, with Colonel
George Washington in command of the
i'll starred expedition. Although boy
in years, Washington had discovered
and reported to the governor of the col
ony of Virginia the plans and prepara-
tons of the French for the seizure
of strategic positions south of the
lakes: He helped to raise troops to
check the French and, through the
death of the colonel appointed to lead
them, arose to the chief command.
Meanwhile the British post on the site
of Pittsburg had fallen into the hands
of the French, and the young colonial
loyalist set out with $50 men to retake
it. Failing to unite with a force APP
pointed to meet his on the Monongahe-
Ia, he built an intrenchment and called
it Fort Necessity. This was threaten

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars Of glory there;
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric Of the skies,
And striped its pure, celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave unto his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud
Who rear'st aloft thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors Of the storm,
And roll the thunder-drum Of heaven
Child OF the SUM- to thee tbs given
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-stroke, I
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows the cloud Of war,
The harbingers OF victoryl

Flag Of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on;
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet,
Each soldier eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky-born glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle-shroud,
And CORY sabers rise and fall,
Like shoots of fame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor-glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Of death.
Flag of the seasl on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter Ger the brave;
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frighted waves rush wildly back
Before the broadside's Keeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee.
And smile to see thy splendors fly
In triumph Ger his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home,
BY angel hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
For ever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls before u

WAS A SINISTER HAND
THAT THREW THE ACID.
MRS. VAN LEW is LEFT HANDED
AND THAT WILL BE HIGHLY
IMPORTANT POINT.
ALICE HAMMEL's DYING WORDS
ACCUSED THE WOMAN OF CAUSING
HER DEATH AND WILL BE
USED IN TRIAL.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
VANWERT, Ohio, November %
The fact that Mrs. Van LEW is left
handed will cut conspicuous figure
in the hearing of the murder case. The
acid was thrown by some one who held
the pail which contained the vitrol in
the left hand. 1t was thrown with a
violence that carried it thirty-f1ye feet
beyond Miss Hammel, who stood on
the porch with pan in her hands
1t was not with the sweep that so
much liquid thrown with the right
hand would describe, but turned out
away from the house in the direction
from left to right. The acid which did
not strike Miss Hammel fell on cellar
door on the lawn and burned into the
bark of a big tree many feet behind
her. Brass tacks in the cellar door
mark the spots where the acid fell, and
stakes in the ground show where the
deadly acid killed the grass.
Alice Hammel told friends who call
ed on her while she lay blinded from
the acid and suffering from the awful
burns that Mrs Van Lew had thrown
the vitriol. The shaft of light from
the kitchen window she declared fell
full upon the womans face when she
turned to see what made brushing
noise against tin drain-pipe on the
house, and the last words she uttered
were that Mrs Van Lew had thrown
the acid and she wanted to live to
prosecute her.
She told a friend that Mrs. Van
Liew's face was the last she saw. Be-
tween piteeus sobs she said:
81 am blind and that woman did it.
The statements of the dying girl will
be placed in evidence by the prosecu-
ton. A legal point may arise from the
introduction of this statement. 1t is
necessary, when putting into evidence
an antemortem statement to have in
formed the person that he is about to
die. The point may be raised that this
was not done, but the statement denies
that this form was omitted.

Regarding the Payment of Life In
surance-went to Husbands Rel
atiyes.
CHICAGO, November 22:-An i'm
portant decision bearing upon life in
surance was handed down to-day by
the appellate court. The ruling is
made in the appeal involving the dis
posal of the insurance on the life of
Frederick H. Marty, who with his wife,
Mrs. Agnes Marty, and their only child
was burned to death in fire which de-
stroyed their home February IA, 1898.
The insurance was in the National
Union, a fraternal benefit association,
which filed a bill in the circuit court
asking for the guidance of the court in
the payment of the insurance, the sis
tiers of Frederick H. Marty and the
family OF his wife both claiming the
money. The decree of the lower court
was that the money should be paid to
the heirs of the wife. The appellate
court decided that in the absence of
proof, the deaths of husband and wife
must be presumed to have occurred
and that as the wife
did not inherit the estate her relatives
would have no interest in it. The
money was ordered paid to the rela-
tives of the husband.

of 1899 are Not Present.
CLEVELAND, o., November 22-The
Iron Trade Review this week will say:
lone Of the surest indications of the
wave of prosperity that has been
sweeping through the iron trade in the
past three weeks is the general depre-
cation of anything like boom. The
stream of orders has been so steady
from every quarter recently as to sug
gest the danger that last years excite
ment might be repeated. Strong as the
situation is from every point of view
it does not appear as yet that the mis-
takes of 1899 will be repeated. The
time of year is against such repetition;
producing capacity Is ample for all
probable needs and foreign iron mar
kets are reeeding, so that the outflow
of export steel is likely 10 be checked.
The last week has given added evil
dence of healthy activity in all dis
tricts and in all lines of production.
After several weeks of comparative
quiet, the steel rail market took on
new life, Pittsburg and Chicago be-
tween them booking $50, 900 to 200, 900
tons OF rails, including a large order
from the c., B. & @. railroad, OF which
Pittsburg secured 10000 tons. II is
probable that 10000 tons of rails have
now been booked for 1901 delivery, and
it is known that large additional or
ders will be placed in the next few
weeks"
