t His comrades had gathered about
the bank and were waiting in great
suspense, and as he climbed up the
bank the men picked up the boy and
hugged him. He had tied the rope
to the end of the bridge and cut the
ropes with which the confederates
had fastened it to the south side OF
the river, and the soldiers began haul
ing it around. 1t was not long until
the pontoon was in position, and the
Wisconsin boys. with Private Burns
in the front rank, charged across the
bridge, drove the confederates back
and what happened after that is a
matter of history.
Private Burns was the hero of the
regiment, and he won his spurs over
again in the Atlanta campaign and
was mentioned several times in the
dispatches for bravery on the field
When his term had expired Burns
went home, but the sound Of the gun
was music to his. ears, and he again
volunteered, expecting to go as q

with the authorities at Washington
that Burns deserved recognition for

DRESS PARADE UNDER FIRE.
Instances of the Daring bravery OF
fs Union Soldiers In the
Civil War.

"I never knew" said the colonel, re-
'lates the Chicago Inter Ocean, "of but
one case of dress parade under fire, and
that was at the crossing of Swiftcreek
In the Petersburg campaign. The
Eighty-first New York, under command
of Col. John ID. Raulston, of Oswego,
was under. orders to cross to the Peters
burg side Of the creek. The enemy kept
up constant fire, and Col. Raulston
moved his companies in a way to at
tract the attention of Gen. Butler. who
sat on his horse some distance to the
rear, watching the movements of his
own men as we'll as those of the en-
smy. "A
"After the first company crossed 1t
formed in line as a guard for the sec
,nd company. When the second COM
pany was across it took the Place of the
frst, which moved forward half com
pany distance. and so on, with the pre-
ssion of parade drill, until all were
across. Gen. Butler was so pleased
with the bearing of the men, with their
GOODNESS and discipline, that he sent a
message to Col. Raulston, presenting

from the exchanges SO far as reports
show amounted to 81, ,S62, with u
net profit of S464,504.

A Lynching Prevented.

Santiago De Cuba, Oct. 30.-Octavio
Mena, formerly clerk in the office
of the captain of the port, was yes
terday found guilty of the murder,
about month ago, of Col. Pavon, of
the Cuban army, whom he killed in a
drunken row. The evidence showed
that the homicide was entirely with
out provocation. He will probably be
sentenced to Imprisonment for II
years and ordered to pay $4,000 to the
family of his victim. While Mena was
being taken from the jail to the
court room a mob tried to lynch him,
but the police successfully resisted.

Tapped n Pipe Line by mistake.

Fostoria, Oct. 3o.-In making a To-
cation for the drilling of an oil well
on the Wakefield farm, recently, Fell
" Waugh by mistake set the stake so
close to the buried eight-inch line of
the Buckeye Pipe Line Co. that there
was barely room enough to drill the
well without disclosing the pipe line.
In shooting the well the last can
stuck 25 feet from the top and ex-
plodcd. An immense volume of oil
poured forth, deluging the derrick.
The derrick took fire from the boiler
fire and burned. When the oil began
coming ont of the hole the pumps at
the pumping station showed that
something had happened to the line,
through which 5000 barrels of oil are
pumped daily. 1t was found that the
shot had burst the line and the oil
had found vent in the drilled hole

church, through their representa-
lives in the assembly, objected To the
proposed union between the two re-
ligious organizations. Rev. Rainy,
who moved in the assembly the reso-
luton in favor of the union, showed
the insignificance numerically Of
those who protested by saying that
there were 10000 elders in the Free
church. The resolution was adopted.

Fatal.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 31.-An eN-
plosien of gas occurred in slope of
No. 1 shaft of the Kingston Coal Co.
at Edwardsville at 3 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon in which three men lost
their lives and six others were badly
burned
Five of the six injured are in a
precarious condition and it is doubt
iul if they can survive. The names of
the dead are:
Peter Usovige, aged 23, miner, sin
gle.
Frank MacllalousRi, aged %, labor
er, single.
John Dolan, aged "a, miner, single.
Those believed to be fatally injured
are: Michael Gatorsli, Adam Lotos-
Iii, Andrew Ratoukiski, John Bucho
and David Evans.
When these men were brought to
the surface by ths rescuers, the skin
lung in shreds from their bodies.
The work of rescue was dangerous,
The first rescuing party that went
down the mine We're driven back and
two men in the party had to be car
flcu out. y NUMBER OF physicians
were on hand and as fast as the in
.;lred were brought TO the surface
their wounds were dressed and they
were sent to the hospital and their
homes.
Two more dead bodies We're taken
out of the mine at IL o'clock. The
victims are Michael Gulawchous and
Adam Waynales. Both were married
and leave families. All the missing
have now been accounted for.
The accident was due to an en-
ploye who diverted the air course un-
Willingly and allowed the gas to ac-
cumulate in the place where the men
were Mt work. The latter had been
warned in time to vacate the place,
bnt they did not think they were in
danger and went on with their work.
The explosion soon followed. The
disaster has cast gloom over the
little town, as the miners had just
celebrated the ending of the long
strike,
