SHERMAN'S WAY AROUND.
Had Seen Enough Fighting 20 Know
the Folly of Continuing
Hopeless Attack.

Among the visitors to the national
capital last winter was southerncr
named Mcmillan, now a lawyer in
New York. During the civil war Me-
MILAN was a soldier in the confeder-
ate army which opposed Shermars
march to the sea, says the Chicago
Times-lIerald. At one place in Georgia
brigade of confederates made a
most determined stand
"We occupied hill well adapted to
defense" said Mr.. Mcmillan. Tho
sides were steep and nearly bare. At
the top were plenty of rocks to shcl-
ter our guns and men. Halfway down
the slope we cut young trees and con-
structed an abattis. Here we await
ed attack, and did not wait in vain.
The vanguard of Sherman's army APP
preached, and without delay rushed
to the assault. They came brave!y up
the hill, and we moved them down.
| With splendid courage the federals
came again and again, and our artil-
lery and rife fire played havoc among
them. Night put temporary stop TO
the onslaught, but next day it was
renewed. More troops had come up
bythis time, and the number OF our as
sailants was increased, but the result
was the same. We beat them back
again and again with great slaugh-
ter Finally the attack ceased alto
gether. To our surprise we saw tho
federal armies marching southwark
through the valleys to the left and TO
the right of us. BY next day all had
disappeared. Left alone with no foe
TO storm our position, there was moth
ing for us to do but to abandon our
stronghold and move on in the rear

cumseh Sherman himself who had ar
rived at the base of our fortified hill
and ordered cessation of tine attack.

A CASE OF DEsTITUTION.
Parents Deserted Children, Who Were
 Fed by Neighbors.


 This afternoon Officer Brickel noti- fled the authorities of the condition of the Slye family in one of the Ney tene- mentS on Baldwin street, and upon in- vestigation it was found to be one of the saddest cases seen in the city in years. Inspector Moses and Humane Agent Gillette visited the place and found that the family had deserted the children, and that had it not been for the good offices of the neighbors the little ones would have starved long ago. There are five children in the house, the oldest about 10 years and the youngest a baby of few months. There was nothing in fhe house that one could eat, and the whole surround ings showed unmistakable evidence of poverty and neglect The mother was in the house at o'clock this morning but she left and has not been seen there since. The sanitary inspector will look out for his part of the pro- gram and MT Gillette and Selectman Doran will look after the children for the present. The family came from Watertown some time ago, and have been in straitened circumstances for several weeks The baby was found lying in bed with myriads of flies lowering about it, and the first thing Inspector Moses did was to put one of the older children on guard over the little tot with instructions not to al- low fly to light on it.

FIRST DEATH FROM TIE HEAT.
Waterville Man Died Suddenly
 This Morning.

While Cutting Wood in the Rear of
 the House He Became Exhausted
 In Two Hours Afterward He Ex-
 pired-Was We'll Known in this City,.
 John Lachance, a well known resi- dent of Waterville, died rather sud- denly to-day from the effects of the heat. He was ill his usual good health up to Il o'clock this forenoon, when he went out in the lots at the rear of his house to cut some wood, and while there he became exhausted but had sufficient strength left to enable him to work his way back to the house. When he reached there he became un- conscious and commenced to vomit. A physician was hastily summoned, and after his arrival the patient rallied and it was thought he would recover; but this hope was soon dispelled by the total collapse of the patient, death en- suing shortly before 1 o'clock. MT Lachance was well and favorably known in Waterville, and all over town for that matter. A man who talked with him this morning told Demo- crat reporter that he never saw him look better in his life, so that when he learned of his death a short time later he could scarcely believe it. He leaves a widow and family and quite a large number of relatives, among them George Lachance, first baseman of the Cleveland team of the American league. Undertaken Mulville was called to care for the remains.

Struck By Lightning During a Game
 and Intantly Killed.

Rockford, III, June 2S.-While a game of ball was in progress at Mon- roe Center, twenty miles southeast of this city, yesterday, lightning killed Morris Carlson, first baseman of one of the teams. The electric bolt knocked down half dozen other play CTS and number of spectators. all of whom, however, recovered quickly. The contesting teams were semi pro fessional organiza tions of Monroe Gen. ter and Rockford. The game had pro- gressed to the last half of the seventh inning when there was a terrific report from the overcast heavens, followed by a binding flash. The infielders fell to their knees, and as they went down they saw Carlson clasp his hands to his breast and pitch forward upon his face.
 Spectators and players, when they had recovered from their fright, rushed to the fallen players assistance and were mortified to find him dead.
 The bolt struck Carlson upon the top of his head, splitting his cap. His hair was singed a little, but the cleo tric fluid left 10 other mark upon him.
