by me with Major Madison Bell riding
behind him on the same horse, having
taken our dear major up, he having lost
his own horse. AS soon as L could mount
/ rushed on to where the most Of our
men seemed to be going, but everything
was i'm complete disorder and dismay
and the best efforts of officers failed to
bring order out of confusion.
The woods to our left and east of the
railroad We're blue with Federals, but
strange as IL may seem to be, but little
firing was done by them and none from
our side. as every one of us seemed to
think that self preservation was the first
law of nature; we were going at full tilt
down alongside a deep railroad cut. both
us and the Federals, with nothing but
the cut between us, the Federals saluting
us with an occasional shot from his
pistol and with a Hold on, Johnnie
Reb.'
1 could plainly see that the railroad cut
was soon to give out hut thus affording
an opportunity to Mr.. Yankee TO cross
over and mix with us in a hand to hand
struggle, and 1 could but think that it
was a good idea to turn obliquely to the
right, taking the advantage of the woods
for protection, as many were already do
ing, but 1 saw our brave Colonel Young
just in front of me galloping along quite
cOolly and it was an inspiration to me as
thought 1 could stand 1t as long as he
could but just before the end of the
cut was reached he wheeled his old black
into that thick woods and we were soon
lost to the view of the enemy, and 1t is
now no strange story to tell an old Con-
federate that a Yankee would follow him
as long as he was in the open but could
not be induced TO enter the thickets, for
he knew not what was in store for him
there.
We went on pell nell through fields,

AROUND FREDERICKSBURG.

To the Editor of The Journal:
While many can tell more than they
know, there are mSny that can't write
what they know. and often see things
that are disgusting to me. have often
seen men that knew that did not know
much about the war that could
tell a nice fiourishing tale about certain
things that transpired during certain
battles. Those kind can tell more than
they know and they are a great many of
that kind of people in the world. / shall
attempt in my scattering way to give
one of many of what consider my close
calls. While camped below Richmond,
Va, in the direction of Fredericksburg,
our regiment with the Second South Car
olina Rifles and others tried to locate the
Yankees. Lieut.. Colonel Logan was in
command. He was Master Gary's lieuten-
ant colonel of cavalry. Our brigade was
infantry. After crossing over the breast
works where we had been camped for
several weeks the entire force was deploy
ed as skirmishers as stated, with Colonel
Logan in command. With quite line Of
slSirmishers. we started down what was
called the Bottoms Bridge road. My COM
pany ID Palmetto sharp shooters, was on
through woods. swamps, brush, over logs
for a mile or two. When 1 spied little
opening / said, Look out, boys, we will
find them directly" When we reached
it, IT was small patch OF two or three
acres with some large apple trees and
small cabin. 1t was my lot to enter near
the center of the patch AS 1 fully entered
it at the opposite side spied a blue
coat jump across a little ditch, and at
tempt to secrete himself behind some
small bushes.
Just in front of me was a rail pen

ENGLISH LADY'S FATE
IN AN ARAB HAREM

Of the husband, and at last here was
sufficient ground to cause his arrest, but
before any action could be taken the
husband learned what his wife had done
and escaped into the interior, leaving
Miss Dunn to the mercy of his first
wife.
In the large garden surrounding the
house in Scutari is small kiosk, sort
of summer house, just sufficient to keep
off the sun and rain, and here Miss
Dunn was quartered. A female servant
brings her food and attends to her
needs, but all communication with the
rest of ,ne world is cut off.
A tall, black, ugly eunuch occasionally
walks about the kiosk to see if the pris-
oEer is still there and to carry back
word to h. mistress, and the other SER
want. of the house crack coarse jokes
at her expense and hurl jeering taunts
at her. Here, day and night, without
person to speak to- practically in the
open air and within a stones throw of
the street she is, confined, and in her
solitude she has >'onty of time to think
of the country which might rescue her,
but which she renounced; of the laws
which even in Turkey had always pro-
tected her, but which she has rejected,
and of the religion in which most women
in trouble find comfort, but which she
has denied.
Just how the third chapter Of this story
will read no one knows. Those who know
Turkish life the best say that she will sud-
denly disappear; others think she may be
thrust out into the street.
A few years ago a sweet young Ameri-
can girl was persuaded to leave a Paris
boarding school to marry Turkish Min
lister of Marine Hassan Pasha, the most
corrupt and villainous character in mod
arr he old of lie
Independent American wife, divorced her
and sent her out into the street penniless,
without home or country to protect her.
For a time she was a singer in a cafe
chantant, but her voice failed her and she
became an ordinary street walker. A year
ago she disappeared.
Miss Dunn is a woman of about thirty
FIVE years of age-fat. fair and with red
hair, three qualities in female which APP
peal to the heart of an Oriental. She pos
sesses little beauty in figure or face. She
has a pug nose and freckled face, wears
glasses and is coarse in feature and voice.
She is fond of discussing the deepest ques-
lions OF philosophy and of airing her theo-
logical views, which are liberal in the ex-
treme. She frequently remarked of her
husband before she married him that he
had the most philosophic mind that she
had ever known, and her friends think
that it was her appearance Of possessing
deep learning that captvated the Arabs
heart.
Miss Dunn is the oldest daughter Of
Dunn Bey, an English workman who was
brought out from England thirty years
ago to make cartridges for the Turkish
government. Since his death, four years
ago, Miss Dunn's mother and the three
unmarried sisters have kept a small
boarding house in Pera.

OF CLOSE CALLS
UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL
YOUNG AND MAJOR MADISON BELL

leaping fences and bitches till we reached
a public road running east and west. We
then came back to the railroad and the
officers succeeded in getting US into line
again, where we soon made barrtcades
of fence rails. preparing for another at
tack, but ii never came and Just why
the enemy did not follow us was then
mystery. but we afterwards learned that
the Ninth Kentucky cavalry came to our
rescue Just as we left the railroad. After
nightfall we struck march again and went
about a mile below Griffin before we went
into camp. That days experience fully
verified Sergeant Elders prediction made
in the early morning.
Major Madison Bell was senior captain
of the Thrtieth Georgia battalion caval-
ny, company A, but when the battalion
was united to lannon's brigade of Ala
bamay cavalry it was then made a regi-
ment, Eleventh Georgia cavalry, thus
promoting him to the rank of major by
reason of his seniority. The change was
made near Fairburn. Ga.
1t is with feelings of pride and genuine
admiration that 1 refer to this grand SOL
der, statesman and noble citizen, who
distinguished himself in peace as well as
in war, who after the struggle was over
filled the position of comptroller general
of the Empire State of the South and 9TH
er pCSitionS or trust ana nonor at our
national capital, but in after years on ac-
count of i'll health had to retire to private
life. If his domestic life was as lovely
surrounded by a sweet and loving family
as his department to his men in ranks
his home was paradise. But alas, in the
year 1896 the grim reaper came and called
him up higher and the good and noble
faithful Major Bell left us all the richest
heritage, the noblest work of God, an
honest man.

about as high as my head. Just at this
moment, the line was ordered to halt,
but I ran to the rail pen in front of me
and dropped upon my knees. 1 hadn't
hardly got still until the yank cut down
on me and struck a rail just in front of
me filling my face and eyes full of litter.
I rubbed II out the best could and tried
my luck $50 or 400 yards. At the crack of
my gun / saw the dust rise just to his
right. / says to myself you are my meat
if you remain there till l get loaded and
that was awful quick. Just at this juno
ture he threw up his handkerchief as
though he was surrendered, 1 followed at
him and told him to come in, but he did
not but bang went his gun and jumped up
and ran few PAGES, fell into small wash
in an old field and commenced loading his
gun and as he elevated himself a little
cut down on him, sticking him in the hip,
the ball lodging near the kidneys. The
boys went and got him and took him
back to camp and wanted me to go and
see him, but never went, and that's all
the man that know that killed; but il
did not kill many l missed my aim many
times, for / was in nearly all the battles
fought in Virginia except when was shot
out and that was three times that was
absent wounded. I went among the first
and stayed until the last. Our regulars
opened the first Manassas with Wheat's
Zouaves from New Orleans, and one
company Of. cavalry from Loudon
county, Virginia. There's where saw my
first shell and Blue coat. 1 have many
more close calls that l may speak of
later.

LIBRARY LOCATION.
hr. Gibbs Makes a Proposition
to Change Sites.

Mr.. E. H, IBIS is not pleased with
the selection N ide for the public IT.
brary site and seeks to have the board
change the location of the building
from the Evans corner on South Mar
ket street to the Parry property east
of the opera house.
Mr.. Gibbs this morning made the
COMMITTEES this proposition: If they
would change their location to the
corner east Of the opera house he
would give $4,000 towards the pur-
chase price of the site, which is s3,-
500, and in addition would give Mrs.
Parry her choice OF forty lots on
Ridge Place"to which she could re-
move her buildings.
Mr.. Gibbs does not think the pres
emit location desirable on account of
the saloons and other places that line
the approaches to the library and de-
sires to have the location changed on
that account. The Evans place is
12Oxl2O, and the Parry property COX
100.

ALL IS CHANGED.
An Old Time City Homestead Entirely
Altered

Great changes are oft times wrought
10 a short space of time. One Of the
greatest changes noted in the resi-
dence districts OF the city is that
which has come to the old "John
Ferrslp" property in the block west
of ID street between Second and
Third The property form
erly contained 25tH feet each way.
There was a large two story brick
house, numerous out buildings and a
great orchard that occupied the great
er part of the lots. To-day the B. &
w. tracks occupyt the west end of the
lots running from north to south.
The Will Sheppard wood aud supply
yards have the space next east and
in place of the single brick dwelling
of the old day there now stands seven
dwellings. One residence faces on
Second venue The Tom Barton
cottage residence occupies the d
street corner Wesley Shoemake
purchased the old brick and is con-
vertipg it into a double house for
rentable purposes making it modern
in every way, putting in heat, light
and water with bath and every con-
venience for both sides. Four large
rooms have been built on the east of
the old house and the appearance of
the place is greatly altered thereby.
Mr.. Shoemake has erected a six room
cottage immediately south of the re-
modelled properly that is also for
rent. Two other residence proper
ties front ID street. Then fronting
on Third avenue Frank Shoemake is
erecting a new six room cottage resi-
dence that takes up all the remaining
space.
A. w. Swain and family formerly
resided 10 the brick when he first
came TO the HERALD. Later the
property was purchased by Mrs.
Jacob Vernon and retained by her
uutil the time of her death. Since
that time the old house has had
numerous owners and tenants. A
person who knew the property in its
original form would no longer find a
familiar marx in the block. The old
orchard long since has disappeared
and the out buildings have
given place to the many new struc-
lures of the present owDers.

BLOOD 5.
Mayor wray Believes They Would be
"a Good Thing.

Mayor Wrsy is of the opinion that
the city of Oskaloosa should have
some blood hounds. The killing of
the Peterson children at Des Moines
and the escape OF the murderers has
caused the blood hound question to
be brought to prominence in many
parts of the state. Numerous cities
and municipalities have ordered the
hounds and several counties of the
state have provided their sheriff's
with the animals.
Oskaloosa has had some cases
where dogs might have been used to
great advantage and the mayor thinks
that the investment would be a good
one for the city, The result of the
correspondence will be brought be-
fore the city council in the near
future, and the recommendation will
be made that the city invest in a
couple or three pups of the blood
hound type.

FOUGHT THE FIRE.
Mrs Cruzen Organizes Her own De-
psrImenI with Good Effect

A fire alarm shortly after eleven
O'Clock this morning called the fire
department to the II. Yer Ploeg resi-.
dence No, 316 North g street oceu
pied by Mrs. Nellie Mcfarland. The
fire caught in the shingles of the
main roof and was caused by sparks
falling from the kitchen chimney
Mrs. Ben Cruzen saw the fire. She
ran to a neighbours house and turned
in an alarm, returned to the house
and secured a ladder and then pro-
ceeded to the roof and fought the
fire with b%ucketsIof water passed to
uer by men.who came to her assist
ance. Other assistance came to the
rescue of the plucky lady and in spite
OF the start that the flames had Sc
cured the fire was conquered before
the arrival OF the hose truck.

AT FIRE
Property Changes aud improvements
Probable.

Fremont Gazette: Canon & Gum
have contracted for the Purchase of
the Hotel Fremont and possession
will be given within ten days. The
consideration is four thousand dol
lars, and a tract of White Oak town
ship realty goes in the deal. G.. & G.
will possibly add an addition to the
hotel and make some other needed
improvements during the coming
season.
Canon & Gum have secured in ad-
dition to their corner lot 80 feet ad-
ditional giving them 60 odd feet front.
This corner is one of the most valu-
able in town, and on this site Canon
& Gum are sure to build a fine bust
ness block, whether they will do it
this spring or not is still somewhat
unsettled, but the location is too good
a one to remain vacant and will soon
be occupied most probably by the
present owners, though they would
build for a desirable enter and re-
main in their present building.
