him that I never surrender. If he
thinks he can take me-, let him try it
on"
At that moment Forrest had Dun
ham hemmed in on three sides with a
superior force, but Colonel Fuller, with
two regiments, was on the outside Of
Forrest.
The new force coming up on the
Huntington road was sighted by For
rests scouts and the fact reported to
the chief, who rode forward expecting
to meet a battalion of his own troop
ers which had been left back upon
that road. He was met by stinging
fire delivered on the rear of his posi-
ton and, believing that it was a mis-
take, dashed forward into Fuller's
lines. Fuller's attack was complete
surprise and stampeded the horses of
the dismounted raiders in rear of the
fighting line. The artillery horses were
also cut down. The first volley Of the
Twenty Ohio endorsed several
troopers of Forests bodyguard, and
his adjutant general was captured.
Forrest literally ran away from his
comrades. Being discovered and halt
ed by Federal officer, he answered
the demand to surrender by coolly say
ing, II have done so some time ago
and am collecting my command to sur
render in due FORM" This ruse saved
him.
Fuller's men captured 300 horses Of
Forests and retook one gun and a
wagon train which Forrest had cap
tured from Durham early in the fight.
Fuller also captured 500 of Forests
troopers, three of his guns and eight
caissons.
Forrest promptly ordered retreat
as soon as he got back to his lines: In
his report he tells how Durham fought
him for five hours and also declares
that thirty minutes more with Dun
ham alone would have given him the
fight, which was true. Durham was
In hard straits. His men could do no
more than stand and see themselves
hemmed in by Forrest. However, they
fought like heroes, spurntng the idea
of surrender. The men of the battery,
when their ammunition had been used
up on the enemy, fought in the ranks
Of the infantry with any weapons at
hand.
FORESTS friendly biographers claim
that their hero was outnumbered by
Durham alone, yet the same authori-
ties state that Durham was hemmed
In and fought desperately for five hours.
Soldiers who fight so long and well do
not permit themselves to be hemmed in
by an inferior force. Forests force is
placed officially by Confederates at
1900 men, comprised in four regiments,
three battalions and two batteries.
Durham had in the field 1900 men and
one battery only partly engaged, and
that only for short time.
Forrest usually swept everything be-
fore him, but he seldom found a Dun
ham and Fuller on his track. Like
stonewau Jackson, he lodged a fight

Bell Telephone and Newberry.

Newberry. October IA special
meeting of city council was held this
morning, at the request of Mr.. Speer,
superintendent Of the Southern Bell
Telephone Company, to consider the
matter of granting his company a
franchise to do business within the
city limits. Lawyer j. Y. Culbreath
represented the company. After hear
inc the argument it was decided to
postpone action until the regular meet
ing of council on the 2lst inst.
This makes the third request Of tRe
company for admission to this city.
When the matter first came up for
consideration council granted the
franchise sought, fixing a scale of
prices. Later this action was rescinded
and a second franchise, prescribing the
same limitations under which Mr.. L.
". Floyd's local company does bust
ness, given, including twenty-year
limitation. Il this the company
would not consent, but agreed to COM
promise by accepting a. thirty-yearr
limitation and scale of prices fixed
by them. Council refusing to grant
this franchise, the matter was dropped
until this morning, when the third
proposition from the company was pre-
sented. Now the company asks for a
franchise unlimited as to price and
time.

Washington, October 16.-Applica-
tions for the vacant collectorship of

ing that an interesting contest is now

turns to Washington. This impress
sion is strengthened by the fact that

parted officials decline to say who is

An Expiation.

II. S. Stratton, who died at Col
,orado Springs, recently, leaving behind
about Si4, 600, eco, willed that some
nine-tenths Of that great sum should
be for the establishment and endoW-
1nent Of home for poor mon as
memorial of his father. It now turns
out that this is "a notable case OF ex-
piafion. In his youth Stratton was
dissipaSed fellow and subject to insane
RACES. In one Of these violent hts,
he nearly killed a carpenter IN his
fathers shop, and, horrible to relate,
one evening he went into the house
and got his gun. Standing on the
front porch, he took deliberate aim
and fred at his father, who had start
ed down the street. The bullet fort
unateIy went wide of the mark, but 1t
had the effect Of starting young STRAIT
ton westward sooner than ne had plan
ned. -,
From that time remorse took posses,
sion Of him and he never rested until
his father forgave him. He would
weep, after his fathers death. recall
inc his parents kindness, and how
unnaturally he requited it. Then he
bent all of his energies to make
none, and, after years OF struggle
and poverty, along with separation
from his wife, he became q multi mil
Iionaire, but never knew any happl--
ness beyond qualification Of material
prosperity.
10 expiate his cruelty to his father,
he proposed a memorial for time, but
the lawyers, instigated by dissatlsneo
son, are after a different dlstrl BUTTON
of the fortune, and the great expiatlon
nav be frustrated. Like so many
other rich men, he held on to his mil
ions 20 the last, instead of admins
tering them, as he desired, in his life
time.

Havana, October 15.-An official of
the Cuban Government is authority
for the statement that as yet the
Cuban Cabinet mas had no opportunity
seriously to- consider the outline of
the treaty with the United States,
formally presented by Minister Squiers
October s. He said there had been
only two Cabinet meetings since that
date and that they had both been
taken up with consideration of the
annual budget, which must be ap-
proved before anything else was done.
It is generally understood that
President Palma is being strongly
urged to resist TIE establishment of an
American naval station at Havana, as
is called for in the treaty presented
by Mr.. Squiers, and that mutual
friends of the United States and Cuba
will ask the United States to withdraw
this request. 1t is probable that the
United States will be offered a naval
station at Bahia Honda, on the north
coast of Pinar Del Rio Province and
about fifty miles from Havana, were
there is an excellent harbor.

A Russian Scheme.

London, October 17.-In a dispatch
from Bucharest, Roumanla, the cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says he
has just returned from Constantinople,
where he investigated the reported
Russian diplomatic advances to Tur-
key. He says he is able to affirm
positively that the Grand Duke Mich
olas, of Russia, during his recent visit
to the Sultan, proposed to Turkey
the revival of the nkar-Kelessi trea-
ty, which was concluded in June
Of 1888, and which established q Rus
SO Turkish alliance. Under the terms
of this treaty the Pote undertook, at
Russia's request, to exclude In time
of war all foreign war ships from the
Black Sea, while Russia undertook,
at Turkeys request to furnish aid
by land ard sea forces.
This treaty, continues the correspon-
dent of the Daily Mail, which really
placed Turkey in the position of a sub
iect State of Russia, lasted for eight
years, but on account Of the opposi-
ton of the Western Powers it was not
renewed. Russia now proposes not
only to renew it, but to introduce
articles strengthening its purport.
The Turkish Court and Government
were thrown into CONSERVATION, fear
ing it was Russia's intention to en-
force her wishes. Some important
ministers were disposed to entertain
the proposal, out a maioity OF the
influential ministers were against 1t.
