A little negro boy near Charleston, S.
c., owes his life to peculiar accident.
He had bought a large orange which he
was carrying home 10 his little sister.
When nearly home a mad bulldog, froth-
ing at the mouth, sprang at him furiously.
There was no stick, stone or any weapon
near, and the boy desperately threw the
orange at the frenzled brute. The dog S
jaws were wide open, and by a lucky
chance the orange entered between the
cruel fangs and stuck deep in the red
throat The dog struggled vainly to get it
out and the boy ran home.

TO REVOKE LICENSES.
Six Insurance Companies Must Cease
Doing Business in Georgia.

Comptroller General Wright will soon
issue an order revoking the IL
censes to do business in this state of the
American Fire Insurance Company
of New York, American Annuity and
Mutual Life Insurance Company of At
lanta, American Temperance Life Insu-
rance Company of New York, Mutual Aid
association, Bankers Mutual Casualty
Company of DesAGoines, Ia; Union Cas-
ualty and Surety Company of st. Louis.
Such decided action has been brought
on the comptroller by the failure of the
companies mentioned to publish a state
ment Of their financial condition in a
newspaper of general circulation.
Several companies some time ago failed
to publish as required by law a statement
of their business before the first Of July.
The law provides that insurance COM
panies shall make public statements of
their business every six months under
penalty of FORGETTING their license to do
business in this state for the remaining
portion of the year in which they have
failed to publish.
On July LIST Governor Gambler in order
to give the companies an opportunity to
comply with the law issued an order al
lowing the companies sixty days from
July 1st in which to make a proper publi-
cation of their business. The time for
them to do so expired on September 1.
Inc companies named nave lalleo 20 90
as required by law. The list of the COM
panies failing to make proper publications
was given the comptroller Friday morn
ing and he Will issue the order revoking
their license to do business according to
law.
The Lancaster Fire Insurance company
and the Madgeburg Fire Insurance COM
pany came under the provision Of the
order, but they have given notice that
thew have or xufH vyffhdrqvv from the
state. The Manhattan Fire Insurance
company is in the hands of a receiver
The Mutual Fire Insurance company Of
Fort Gaines, Ga, and the Mutual Aid
association, of Augusta, were not char
tered in time to come under the order.

of IS killed or died of wounds within n
few days. Another thing not mentioned
before: There were men wounded in that
battle in my company who were not re-
ported wounded. | will give the name of
one, to my personal knowledge, who l
know was wounded twice-First Serg't
Harding Keplinger. He was shot through
the leg, and from day to day dressed the
wounds, in company quarters. They
healed. He never went to the hospital.
L want to impress upon your readers
the thought that at Shiloh the 9th, sd
and 41st Ill. were in pretty close quar-
tiers. When we were forced to give way
| was within 30 feet of the rebels, and
saw their flag very distinctly, notwith-
standing the dense smoke which hung low
upon the field.
Again, / want to impress the thought
that what / say is correct, and what l
illustrate is indisputable evidence.
The 18th and 55th ILL.,, of which | have
considerable knowledge, suffered terrible
losses in enlisted men, bat neither regi-
ment had an officer killed. This explains
that those regiments were not very closely
engaged.

Dolan's reply. He tried, and succeeded in
finding Il man who had just received q box
from home and consented TO give the Cap
tain the coveted drink $50 Dolan SAID.
The Captain was delighted and refreshed.
and, feeling pleased with his good luck,
expressed Il wish that the Major might
also participate. which request was grant
ed, and the Major drank his own whisky,
which the offer of a large reward had
failed to restore. When a comrade was
sick and needed liquid encoura cement Do
Ian supplied him as long as his secreted
treasure lasted.
This will clear up q mystery of who
hooked the Majors whisky and where
Dolan got his supply. l trust the Major
will forgive the culprit and the statute
of limitations will bar criminal prosecu-
ton.
At the close of the war, when Dolan's
service was no longer needed, he procured
employment with a railroad, where he
served as locomotive engineer for many
years, with the same loyalty to the com
pany as for his country. He has now re-

GEN. SANDERS'S SWORD.
Surrendered at Atlanta When the 18th Iowa
Was Overwhelmed by Numbers, he Now
Seeks to Recover 1t.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is dis
tasteful to me, as probably unwelcome to
yourself, the intrusion of little matter en-
tirely personal to myself, yet in which L
have some heart-feeling. In 1861, when
the 10th Iowa was being organized in this
city's camp, l was offered by Gov. Kirk
wood its Colonelcy, but declined that posi-
ton for the second, with the hope and de-
sire, finally effected, OF securing Regu-
lar Army, West Point man to take COM
mand.
Before leaving for the field, some 80 of
our most prominent citizens presented me
with handsome sword, fine revolvers and
holster, silk sash, spurs, etc. Now TO the
point. That sword was with me from that
time until nearly the close of the war, July
%, 1854, when, at the battle of Atlanta, it
and the regiment had commanded so long
were captured. 1t went with me home
once, when / was suffering from what
proved nearly mortal wounds, and back
with me to duty as soon l had sufficiently
recovered.
Now, / want to see, and, of possible,
again possess, that old sword, 'Once cap
tured, but never disgraced." If still in
metallic life, it must be somewhere in the
old Confederacy. The same Southern
chyalry that years ago induced Cen
Govan, of Arkansas, whose Confederate
division opened the battles of Atlanta by
! its charge on the CrOcher lIo"aJ
/ Brigade" at the extreme front of our
lines, and the 10Th Iowa, at its center and
front, and the only regiment eventually
| captured, to return, in person, our regl-
mental flag at q Brigade Reunion, should
be initiated by the return of my sword TO
me, whoever has it in his possession. Its
old owner and his address are inscribed on
an oval plate ON the bronze scabbard, IN
these words, as far as can be recollected:
Presented to Lieut.-Col. Add III. San
\ ders, 10th Iowa, by His Friends. Daven-
port, Iowa"
should like to see that old sword once
again before dying, now approaching the
sos, and bequcath it to my oldest boy, one
of the Sons of Veterans"
The last time | saw my sword was
when, surrounded and out of ammunition
a rebel bayonet charge was made on US
from the rear, and we hastily climbed over
our rifle pits. Then in my hand was the
| sword of q rebel officer, who had sur
rendered it to me not 10 minutes before,
and he was one of Gen. Govan's own regl-
ment. We soon met. | gave him back his
sword, and then putting my own in his
hands. said: Il don't surrender this sword
| to an inferior officer, but read that inscrip-
| ton, take it, and some day send it to
Davenport, if you can, whether am alive
| or not" He promised to do so, if he could
keep it, which. as after events proved, he
could not. Gen. Govan, whom in later
wears | put on the search, discovered the
officer, but q Major'had taken the sword
| from him, and where's the Major? Now,
whar's my sword?-Yours very truly,
| GEN. ADD FL. SANDERS, Davenport, Iowa.
