Cosl3 of Fire.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: We were
on ca yairy outpost near strawberry Plains,
East Tenn, soon after daybreak on the
cold New Years Day of 1864, well remem-
bered by the Ninth and Twenty-third
Corps and the Cavalry Division of Burn
sides army. The rain Of the night before
mad frozen as it fell, and by daybreak a
blizzard was sweeping over our lines. the
thermometer Gf there had been such a
thing within hundred miles of our camp
showing zero weather or worse.
The cavalry outpostS .of Burnside'S
army lay close to Longstreet's Cutposts.
The men of both armies were but lightly
clad and their suffering was intense, so
much so, indeed, that our Union outpost
started a fire whereby to warm their half
frozen fingers TO enable them to hold their
guns in hand.
The yidetS by common consent refrained
from firing on each other. and the Union
troops soon gathered around their fires in
full view of IongStrcetS s veterans. Ii was
al this stage of the game that yidet from
the Confederate side approached ours of the
9TH Ohio Cav. and called out: will yo'uns
lend We funs a coal of fire."
The reply was quick and favorable and
Johnny was promised the loan of a coal of
fire and immunity from danger while com
ing and going. With confidence he then
ran To our lines. and was provided with an
abundance of live Goals, which. with pro-
1HSe thanks. he carried 10 his own outpost
and soon had a merry fire Of his own while
other fires were Immediately started all
along the videt posts Of both armies. The
men stood their tours of duty fully exposed
within easy rifie-range of each other for
two days and nights, and not "A gun was
| fired on either side, this truce being agreed
upon by common consent by reason Of the
extreme severity of the weather Two
days later, when the cold had moderated. the
boys on videt duty kicked out their fires and
called out: Look out. now; the war will be
resumed in 10 minutes. IT. F. A

debating society. should take the affirma-
tive.
In entering the cavalry service 1t was
well understood by the members OF the 'th
Ohio Cav, or if not thoroughly understood
the lesson was soon learned, that the risks
were many, and the bullets of the enemy
were not the only dangers we were eX-
posed TO. Our services at all times were
either in the advance or on the fianks OF
our army. or in ease of retreat we were
quickly thrown in between our retreating
columns and the pursuers, that we might
check the jealous advance of the enemy
In our position in the advance or on the
fianks of the army, we soon learned 10 be-
como most observant of everything that
might be of advantage to our army, and
where a thousand pair of eyes are ever
watchfuI, there is not much escapes obser-
yation.
In scouting and accommodating the
country we were at all times in close touch
with the inhabitants of the town and vii
lages we passed through, and the country
people on the farms were carefully culti-
waited by the cavalrymen. In this way the
troops soon had a wide acquaintance,
and sometimes good friends among the
non-combatants. Furthermore, speak
ing now for our own regiment, we had
about thousand young. unmarried men,
ranging in age from IS to % years, with

Committee.

Washington, January 1.-THE spe-
cial committee of the house of repre-
sentatives to investigate the case OF
Brigham H. Roberts, ofSUtah. today
reached a final conclusion. On the po-
lygamous status Of Mr.. Roberts the
committee was unanimous and agreed
upon a formal statement of facts. Or
the question OF procedure to be adopt
ed the committee was divided. The
majority, consisting of all the members
except Littiefieid, Of Maine, and Dear
mond, of Missouri. favored exclusion
at the outset. Messrs. Littlefield, re-
publican. and Dearmond, democrat
will make a minority report favorable
to seating Mr.. Roberts on his prima
facie rights and then expelling him.
The majority were Taylor, Frear, Nor
rison and Mcpherson, republicans, and
Lanham and Miers, democrats.
The statement Of facts found by the
democrats is as follows:
W find that B. H. Roberts was
elected a representative to the Fifty
sixth congress from the state of Utah
n was at the date of his election
above h age of % years; that he has
been for more than seven years a natu-
IdlIZcu CllIZen Oh the United states
n was an inhabitant of the state OF
Utah.
we further find hat about 1873 he
married Louisa Smith, his first and
lawful wife, with whom he has ever
since lived rs such and who, since
their marriage, has borne him six
children.
THAT since 1885 he married as his
plural wife Celia Dibble, with whom
he has ever since lived as such an6
who, since such marriage, has borne
him six children, of whom the las,
were twins, born August II, 1897.
That some years after his said
marriage to Celia Dibble he contracted
another plural marriage with Margaret
G.. Shipp, with whom he has ever since
lived in the habit and repute of mar
riage. Your committee is unable to fix
the a date of this marriage. II
does not appear that he held her Out
as his wife before January, 1897, OF
that before that date she held him Out
as her husband, or that before thai
date they were reputed to be husband
and wife.
THAT these facts were generally
known in Utah, publicly charged
against him during his campaign fol
election, and were not denied by him
THAT the testimony bearing or
these facts was taken in the presence
of Mr.. Roberts and that he fully cross
examined the witnesses, but declined
to place himself on the witness stand
Chairman Tayler says the report OF
the committee will be made on Satur-
day and a the subject will be TAX
