escape from being crushed to death I'M
der one of the 55-foot derricks, which
slipped from it's fastenings Wednesday
afternoon and feM with a crash that
startled every man on the works.
The accident was caused by the break
ing Of one of the guy ropes which is at
tached to the top and holds two der
ricks in place. The damage was very
slight compared to the general results
of an accident Of this kind, being con-
fined to the derrick beam and the steam
gauge which was knocked off Mr.. Rog-
ers' engine
Less than a month ago three of the

working within the range they all man
aged, fortunately, to get. out of it's way

SAVED WASHINGTON.

Edward Babcock, Of Baltimore, in
speaking yesterday of the civil war,Xave
an interesting version of General Jubal
A. Early's raid which came so near re-
sulting in the capture of Washington
Mr.. Babcock states that the reason for
General Early's failure was his omit
ting to take advantage of his opportun-
ity and sack the city when it lay COM
paratively unarmed and at his mercy.
Some time prior to this raid of Gen.
eral Early's," continued Mr.. Babcock,
there was sold by the navy department
a large quantity of naval whisky. 1t had
to be sold. and the late Admiral Lee.
who lived at Silver Spring, knowing that
it would probably go at cheap figure,
told his friends and neighbors in the VI
entity of Silver Spring that they would
do we'll to come to the sale and bid in
a supply Of it. AS he had expected.
the whisky went for phenomenally low
price, although 1t was extremely good
liquor. 1t was gobbled up by those who
We're present and the result was that
everybody in that part of the country
had a barrel Of it.
'The confederates found this out to
their great joy and made merry. This
it was that caused them to make the
fatal delay at Silver spring. Had Early
kept on he could unquestionably have
raide. and burned the capitol. It was
defenseless at the time, and utterly at
his mercy had he ridden in, but both he
and his men had led lives OF great hard
ship, and the supply of good things that
they unearthed in the country, and par
ticularly that great supply of good whs-
ky, was too much for them; they simply
could not resist 1t.
IF Admiral Lee had not recommended
to his neighbors the purchase of this
whisky the chances are that the capitol
at Washington would have suffered the
tremendous indignity Of having been
sacked by a confederate commander.
