New York, Dec. 4.-The Standard Oil

vance Monday, passing the 500 mark
and selling at $40, an advance of 80

struck Leavell on the thumb with the
force of hammer, and he was soon
writhing in pain, needing neither yell
low jackets nor confederate bullets.
The Thirty-sixth Indiana was at this
juncture ordered to relieve the line in
front, and Leavell went forward, hold
ing his bruised thumb.
after time the thumb felt better,
and Leavell was fighting at white heat,
when, about four o'clock, the regiment
was attacked on the flank and fell back.
Leavell, when the retrograde move
ment began, was behind tree pegging
away at the advancing confederates,
and he didn't notice that his company
had retreated. He held his tree until
the confederates occupied the position
just abandoned by his own company,
and Johnny took the other side of
the tree. Then he ran back full 200
feet and rejoined his company. The
boys regarded this as something of an
exploit, but Leavell himself always de-
clared the greatest exploit of his life
was his not running away when the
yellow jackets stung him in 20 different
places"

"R. A. Leavell, of company Z, Thir-

John NJ. Palmer's division, which, on
the morning of Sunday, September 20,
was posted in the edge of timber bor-
dering the Kelley farm. Breastworks
were constructed of logs, rails and
earth, and the boys felt they were
ready for the enemy that had sue
cessfully resisted the day before. But
scarcely had they taken position be-
hind the works when the division was
ordered nearer the Kelley house and
other troops were favored by the
breastwork thrown up by Palmer's
men. The Thirty-Sixth Indiana, with
other regiments, went at double-quick
to reinforce troops sorely beset, and
the men, meeting a furious fire,
dropped to the ground and did their
level best to repel the confederate at

Leavell and the comrades in his imme-
diate vicinity and stung them almost
to desperation. In front were the con-
federates blazing away with rifles and
muskets, and all around the boys were
singing yellow jackets, dealing out
more pain and decentralization than
confederate bullets.
"While Leavell was debating wheth-
er he would run from the yellow jack

the liquor was making his red-headed
"vis-a-vis" abusive, and it soon worked
on him so that he commenced swear
ing and cursing everything and every
body. He informed Patton he could
lick any Yank around or that ever
fought under the stars and stripes.
Now, that seemed too much for our
young union soldier, and 1 shall let
him tell it in his own words and as he
gave it to me. Patton says:
81 jumped up on my feet (he was
sitting) and l grabbed the strap of
the medicine chest, swung it around
with all my might and hit the con-
federate on the side of the head. He
fell over like a dead man. looked
at him n little while and then stag
gered off to my little room. 1 knew
no more until DIR. Dunn gave me
shake and said: Get up, here When
1 opened my eyes the sun was shin
ing, and the doctor said:
"'Come and see what you have
done
81 followed him out into the next
room, and there sat the confederate,
with his jaw black and swollen, and
pills, papers, powders, frumenti and
all kinds of medicine scattered over
the floor. The doctor wanted to know
what l hit that man for, and 1 told
him just what occurred, at which he
had a hearty laugh, and afterward
said 1 had done perfectly right. 1
candidly thought I would surely get
punished for what 1 had done, but
nothing came of it.
"While the doctor and 1 were talk
ing the confederate sat as quiet and
docile as a lamb. Never once did he
open his mouth. How detected and
forlorn he looked. He was a member
of some confederate battery, was six
feet tall and weighed about $50
pounds, and II he is alive to-day 1
would like very much to know it, as
l have laughed many times over the
predicament my confederate friend
and myself got into on that memora-
BILE occasion, and 1 would like to ask
him whether he still likes spiritus
frumenti."

THE DOCTORS CHEST.
Now n Young Soldier Knocked Out
the Confederncy After Invcst-
igating 1t.

After the battle of Jonesboro and
the fall of Atlanta, September 2, 1864,
many of the confederate wounded
were brought into the city. Our sur
geons had their hands full for some
days treating the sick and wounded
of both armies. Among those who
were in the hospital at the time was
a young and spirited union soldier by
the name of John X. Patton, mem
her of company X, One Hundred and
Ninth Pennsylvania. He had injured
his arm in the line of duty, and our
regimental surgeon had ordered him
to report every day to have it dressed.
While waiting one day for DR.. Brue-
baker, writes John NJ. Vallean in the
National Tribune, John was accosted
by the brigade surgeon, DR.. Dunn,
and the following colloquy took
place:
"John, where is DR.. Bruebaker?"
al don't know, SIR"
''Well, who carries the medicine
chest?"
"Holy Joe, SIR"
Now, Holy Joe was an eccentric
character, and the boys made a great
deal of fun of him. He was the doc
tors chief cook and bottle washer,
and caused at times no end of amuse-
ment when the regiment was on the

VICTIMS OF TREACHERY.-
Governor of Province of shnn-si
Lends Missionaries Into N Trap
and They Are Mnssncred.

Berlin, Dec. A special dispatch
from China to the Volks Zeitung re-
ports a fearful mission slaughter in
the province of Shan-Si. The first vic
Tins, the dispatch says, were Catho-
lie bishop and his coadjutors and four
European priests, Franciscans, Italian
and French.
The governor invited them to his
house, pretending to give them better
protection; but when they arrived
their hands We're tied. Then the gov
ernor himself poniarded them all. Next
the governor went to the bishops resi-
dence with a number of soldiers and
seized six Marseilles sisters. He prom
ised them money and distinguished
husbands if they would renounce Chris
tianity, which offer they unanimously
rejected. Thereupon the governor
poniarded them and also a number of
Chinese priests, 30 Chinese sisters and
200 orphans from three to 16 years of
age.
Fifteen semin artists, who had hidden
themselves in cistern, were, the dis
patch says, tied to stakes and forced to
They were then killed.
Chinese priest and two Christians,
who attempted 10 escape, were caught
and put in a small hut, where they were
burned.
Peking, Dec. All the foreign en-
voys have now heard from their gov
ernments regarding the joint note to
tho Chinasa planipot r;ac opJ :,
meeting will be held to-day. The en-
voys are not communicative, but
enough is known with reference to the
objections of different governments to
make it seem doubtful that the meet
ing will have satisfactory conclu-
sion. Prince Ching and Ii Hung
Chang both say that they are anxious
IL awaiting the demands of the pow
ers. They declare that China desires
peace at any price commensurate with
the dignity of an independent nation;
but they point out that so long as a
large foreign army occupies the prov
ince OF Chi Ii the problem will be
harder to solve. The missionaries and
others who went through the siege
protest bitterly against any sugges-
tion of leniency. They urge particu-
larly that those who are high in Of
flee and who were really responsible
for the outrages to foreigners should
be executed. And they insist also hat
sufficient force should be kept in
China to guarantee order and to keep
foreigners independent of the Chinese,
declaring that, If this is not done, a
repetition of the troubles is inevitable.

e lTAL EXPLOSION.
Power House of Northwestern Rond
in Chicago Demo1ished-Five
Killed and Many Injured.

Chicago Dec. 4.-The explosion of n
boiler in the lighting and heating
plant of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad at Kinzie and Kingsbury
streets at five o'clock Monday after
noon resulted in the death of five per-
sons and more or less serious injuries
to 16 others. The accident also startled
and endangered the lives of scores of
pedestrians who were hurrying home
from their days work. 1t caused a
property loss of $4,000 to the rail-
road company, and temporarily de-
ranged it's passenger traffic. The ten
ton boiler, one of battery of four
in the building, was precipitated
through the south wall, killing three
section men. striking an outgoing pas
senger train, and crashing through
one of the parlor cars. Four persons
on the train were injured.
OF the persons injured in the car,
two couples were recently married and
were returning from their honeymoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Bicker, of She
boygan, Wis. were taken to the St.

Mr.. Bicker was injured more than his
wife. His skull was slightly fractured
and meningitis is feared He may also
be injured internally. Mrs. Bicker is
not seriously hurt. Mr.. and Mrs. Au-
gust Beck. of Milwaukee, were taken
to the Policlinic hospital. Mrs. Beck
had three cuts on her face, while her
body and limbs were bruised seriously.
Mr.. Beck escaped with bruised ear
and several minor bruises on his body.
The massive boiler had been hurled
through the air, far from the starting
point, to be checked in its fight by
the passing train. The dead bodies of
two section men, August Weiss and Jo-
seph Specht, were found in the path
followed by the flying boiler. Beneath
the heavy boiler was found the body of
August Claman, foreman of the Sec
tion gang. Workmen engaged few
moments later in removing the debris
from the front of the building discov-
cred the mangled remains of young
man who was identified as Henry
Schnur, son of the assistant city fire
marshal. The young man was passing
the building when the explosion oc-

march. Most all regiments in our
armies have their Holy Joes, and dur
ing the civil war they were the life
of the camp and march.
Now, neither DIR. Bruebaker nor Joe
being present, and as the brigade sur
geon's business was very pressing, he
ordered Patton to take the medicine
chest, which was about two feet long
and one foot wide, by ten inches deep,
and follow him. The chest had a
leather strap 2Is inches wide, made to
go over the shoulder; but John, with
his sore arm, had some difficulty in
getting along with it, as it was heavi-
1y lined with tin boxes, all full of med
icine.
In a short time the surgeon, with
Patton, reached the hospital and were
soon at work attending to the needy.
Before they got through it was
quite dark and raining, so the doctor
told Patton not to go back to camp
that night, but to sleep in little
side room that had been fitted up
with a bed, while he (the doctor)
would go over to the Trout house,
where there were some other officers
staying, and sleep there.
Before going away DR.. Dunn told
Patton he wanted some morphine
powders made. The doctor showed
John the quantity to be placed in
each paper and then left. Spreading
the papers out on table, Patton COM
menced putting the morphine powder
on each, all the while being watched
by big red-headed confederate who
was sitting on the floor. He had been
wounded in the foot and his large toe
had been amputated. In little while
he limped up to the table where Pat
ton was and blurted out:
"Say, Yank, what ye makin'?"
Patton told him.
"By gar!" said the reb., "you's got
enough in each one of them papers to
kill three men!"
John denied that he had so much.
The reb. insisted that he had, and
showed the sample left by the doctor.
Patton had to acknowledge that his
red-headed friend was right, and they
both went to work making those al
ready put up equal to the sample.
Johnny Reb.'s eye was continually on
the medicine chest. Spying square
looking tin upon which was marked
'Spiritus Frumenti," he said:
Say, Yank, that's whisky, amt it ?"
"Yes," said Patton, but it is bitter;
the doctor put comething in it,"
swell, let me try it, will your"
asked Johnny.
"Yes, help yourself" Patton an
swered.
The confederate took the tin out of
the case, smelt it, then tasted it, and
finally took long and steady drink.
Smacking his lips, he said:
"Yank, that's good; it's only got a
little quinine in. 1t won't hurt YOU.
but will keep you from getting fe-
YER"
So John P took drink and then
both continued making the powders,
every once in awhile stopping to take
IN pull at the spirits. During the con-
'uersation that occurred between them
Patton asked the confederate how he
lost his toe.
"Why, you Yanks shot it off July
~ in front of Atlanta, but we killed
your Gen. Mcpherson, and will kill
every Yank in Georgia before long,
said the confederate.
Patton kept quiet. for he saw that
