He was a soldier in the civil war, servr

when but a lad. At the battle of Shady
Brook Court House, in Virginia, June 8,
1864 he was twice wounded. A fragment
of shell struck him in the back Of the
head, inficting terrible wound, and he
was shot in the leg as we'll. 1t was the
same battle in which the gallant Colonel
Egbert, who died at the head of his regi-

carried off the field for dead. Egbert
was then a lieutenant. But the stout
hearted lad, Boyle, was back in the ranks
again on the 18th. at the terrible battle
Of Cold Harbor. with enough bandagcs

Standing around SO constantly-for the
hours are long either by day or by
night, adds to the girth of any man,
and puts weight where it will do the
least good. Few elderly policemen but
have attained aldermanic proportions
as part of their official pay. But strange
as it may appear. this added weight
does not detract seriously If at all, from
their fieetness of foot. Some Of the

ing fire for something over two months
The report that several representatives
of the canneries had left the coast for
New York for the purpose of comforting
with the fnanciers is confirmed 1t is,
however, too early to say whether the
deal will be actually contaminated, as
there is still considerable work to be
done At the same time the fact that
these gentlemen are coming indicates
that there is at least a prospect that
plans will be carried out
It is conceded that the Alaska Pack

claimed, however, If the deal goes
through on the basis now being dis
cussed that the new company would
control some 20 per cent. of the bust

HAS YELLOW FEVER.
Governor General Wood is Dam
gerously III at Havana.

Leonard Wood, governor general of
Cuba, is i'll. All the symptoms go to
show that he is suffering from yellow
fever. While it is not generally known
that the governor general is confined
to his room with illness, it is admitted
by several army officers and intimate
friends that he has fallen a victim to
the dread disease tt is not known how
serious the attack is.
The American authorities have claim
ed for some time that yellow fever in
this city, and in fact, throughout the
island has been on the decline, and only
yesterday 1t was announced, on the
authority Of Major Glennon of the ma
rine hospital corps, that there has n@t
been a case in this city for nearly two
months.

PART OF sEOUACHEE A VAST LAKE.

Friday was gloomy day and rain
was expected. During the night it de-
Veloped into steady downpour accom-.
panied by a terrific wind and thunder
and lightning. Saturday morning the
land to the east and north was one vast
lake, an occurrence unparalleled in the
history OF the town, although there
have been floods here before.
The storm seems to have eliminated
in Sequachee and Dixon Coves, and the
the river rose so rapidly and flooded
the fields so quickly, that for the
prompt action of the people getting the
families QUITO the houses surroundedlby
water loss of life might have occurred.
The alarm was given the people by
the blowing OF the factory whistle, and
J. r, Houts, VIM. Houts, Leonard Rog-
ers, Chas. Tribe, G. j. Gustafson and
others, hastily constructed boats and
RATS and rescued the imprisoned fami-
lies, those OF Mark Alder and John
Rogers. M. c. Campbell and family,
however got out with aid of = mule, and
they were safely housed at Capt Rober-
sons.
John H. Spears finding the water sur
rounding his place first got his aged
mother on mule to the railroad and
then went back for his wife and the
other members OF the family The
families Of John Henderson and John
Thornton were also rescued and safely
housed.
The force of water in the lagoon took
away the footlogs municificently dona-
ted by the county some years ago, and
coming in contact with the trestles of
the railroad bridge, blocked the pass
age with drift, and the flood immediate
ly began working through the track
bed at the north end of the bridge. Su-
perintendent Anderson was notified and
the section men arrived about o'clock
and got the strain on the bridge reliev-
ed. The train from Pikeville arrived
here on time but was forced to stop on
the north side, and the passengers, ex-
press and mails we're transferred to
special train from South Pittsburg, pro-
ceeding after delay of two hours,
The bridge crew was telegraphed for
and reached here about noon and began
work. Trains were allowed to pass
over at 4:10p. m.
The damage to stock at the handle
works is considerable. About two car
loads of finished handles were in the
store house boxed ready for shipment
and they we're damaged by water. In
the factory proper the water was two
to three feet deep over the tops of the
lathes. The unfinished stock was mat
ted together with trash and rubbish,
which the succeeding freezS frosS al
most solid. Sunday morning it was
picture of desolation.
The damage to farming lands is very
great, the fences were swept away in
many places, and the wheat lands
washed out or buried deep in trash.
The flood did not last long disappear
