Alone in his cell in the Chicago
county Jail Dr. Orville s Burnett is
brooding over the verdict of the jury
which found him guilty Of the murder
OF Mrs. Charlotte l.. Nichol and fixed
bis punishment at fifteen years in
prison.
According to evidence at the trial
Burnett, who is a married man with
a family, went with Mrs. Nichol who
was living with her husband and chill
dren to hotel, after having
made a compact to commit suicide. In
the morning Mrs. Nichol was found
dead, but Burnett had failed to carry
out his part Of the agreement.
On the witness stand he denied that
he ever loved the woman who died for

Promising Young Pianist.

Louis Elbel the young pianist of
South Bend, Ind, who has just scored
new triumph at Leipsic before a
critical audience of 1000 people, left
few years ago to study music under
the German masters His preparatory
work was done in Chicago and Boston.
and he then gave promise of every
thing he has since accomplished. His
first concert at Leipsic last summer at
once won him the highest praise from
the most critical judges of pianoforte
art in Germany, His recent success
has made him the envy of the young
native artists in Leipsic. He was the
star OF the Philharmonic recitals and
completely captured the large audi
ences with the greatest triumph ever
scored by an American. Mr.. Elbel will
make Germany his future home.

There is some doubt as to whether
the sentence will stand if the case is
carried to the Supreme court, but the
states attorney admitted after the trial
that until Burnett exhibited his con-
temptible cowardice on the witness
stand he had no hope of securing a
verdict against the prisoner. In the
Judgment of honorable men fifteen
years separation from his kind is a
light penalty for the cur who attempt
ed to blacken the memory of a dead
woman who had sacrificed all for him.

had participated. Into the muddy
stream of his narrative he dragged the
names of other women over whom the
merciful shadow of the tomb does not
rest as il does over the life of the little
woman whose vial of poison ended her
life and wrecked two homes.
Burnetts wife was in the back part
of the court room while the story of
her husbands unfaithfulness was being
told.
Burnetts testimony was character
lied by an attempt to prove that Mrs
Nichol was the temptress. That with
a sirens voice she had lured him into
path of viciousness. All OF the blame
for the tragedy that followed was laid
by Burnett on the shoulders of the
dead woman.
ION the night OF Mrs. Nichols

sation with her about suicide when she
heard she had to go away. She said
she had chloral. She was continually
talking about it, She said she was

should go back, but she said she had
lived with his mother, but that she
couldn't stand it to go back there. She
said she had bought morphine early on
Saturday evening. She did not show

A woman's Heroism at Antietam.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is pub
lished that at the battle of Antietam, on
the right OF our army, in the vicinity
where Anna Etherage was at work on
the firing line aiding and rescuing the
wounded, she saw regiment that was
badly cut up by the Confederate fire Saver
and begin a disorganized retreat.
As the color-bearer passed her, she be-
ing mounted, she seized the standard and
turned her horse across the path of the
fugitives and called upon them to rally.
Very soon the entire regiment crowded
about her, shouting and cheering wildly.
She pointed to where they were needed,
and the regiment swept back into the fight
with resounding cheers for the flag and
the woman whose calm and intrepid cour-
age had saved them from dishonOr. 1t is
alleged that for this act of heroism she
was granted a medal. 1 should like to
know if this incident can be authenti-
Gated. Is there anyone living now who
was witness to this act and can testify
to it? What was the regiment that she
rallied? If anyone can verify it let us have
the details of this glorious and exceptional
achievement. What grand subject this

sooner than we did. They discovered a
detachment of Wheeler's cavalry prepar-
ing to oppose their entrnace but without
stopping to consider whether such action
came within the line of their duty or not
| they charged headlOng and drove the en-
emy through the town, losing one man
killed and one wounded, while they found
one of Wheeler's cavalrymen in the road
dead and one in the town wounded.
The loss on our side fell upon two regi-
ments of our brigade, the 10Sth and 121st
Ohio. The leading regiment of our brgi-
ade soon after entered the town. followed
q little later by the advance of the Twen-
tieth Corps, with Gen. Sherman, who was
to gather here his columns, his thunder
bolts, with a master hand, and again
lanch them forth, Jupiterlike, to strike
where we cared not and the enemy knew
not.
While we waited for the troops in our
rear to close up our camp was half de-
serted for the fields and barnyards of the
surrounding country. Two of our mess
brought in young pOrker and half
bushel of peanuts. These, added to our
regular rations of meal, -four and pota-
toes, gathered by our mounted foragers
and issued through the cOmmissary sup
piled US with an appetiZing supper, after
which we sat around a cheerful, cracking
fire and roasted and ate peanuts to our
hearts content. 1t was natural that we
should compare our present campaign
with that of Atlanta.
In the latter we encountered fortifica-
tions, bristling steel and brass bulldogs
at every turn, where every foot gained
by bloody sacrifice merely added to the
length of our line Of communication and
rendered our subsistence the more uncer-
tain. Even when Atlanta, the goal, was
won, we had to despoil and abandon it
because it was not worth the price of its
keeping.
In the campaign before US the Confed-
eracy appeared as helpless as big plum
pudding in the midst of hungry school
boys, for we were eating our way through
it practically unOpposed, and with more
damaging results to the Confederacy than
we accomplished with all our bloody as
saults in the Atlanta campaign.
With this conclusion settled in our
minds and the comfortable assurance that
we had eaten our share, we rolled into
our blankets and slept peacefully under
the starlit sky.

crowd he had to deal with. Each regi-
ment was followed by tired or footsore
soldiers, mounted on horses or mules kind
ly given them by the foragers from the
abundance of their captures, and by pack
mules, loaded with personal baggage and
cooking utensils, led by negroes employed
as cooks for numerous messes of not more
than three men to each mess. In addition,

lowing "Massa Sherman" with greater
faith than the Children of Israel followed
Moses out of the house of bondage and
land of captivity.
This interference with our methods of
transportation caused only temporary in
convenience, for we soon gathered another
outfit larger than the one of which we
were deprived.
After leaving NIilledgeville we gave
the main road to the Twentieth Corps and
followed obscure roads via Fair Play and
Longs Bridge, over swampy and diff
cult ground, which reduced our march on
the 24th to seven miles, and the following
day to twelve miles. On the 26th we
moved early and pushed straight ahead

colored Troops in the sixteeuth CORDS.

| EDITOR THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Re
cent articles from correspondents of your
paper allege that there were no colored
troops in the Sixteenth Corps. They are
mistaken. In 1854, Gen. 6. NJ. Dodge,
with headquarters in Corinth, Miss, was
in command of the left wing, Sixteenth
Corps, and organized two full regiments of
COlOred troops. During the recruiting and
organizing they were called the ID and sd
Ala. Inf, African Descent, but | think
they were never so known officially. When
mustered in they were designated respec-
lively as the 10th and 111th U. s. Col
ored Infantry.
Col. Wallace Campbell commanded the
110th. and Col LathrOp the 111th. In
1864 Col. Campbell, with headquarters IN
Athens Ala, was in command of the
post. Athens, and afterward a provisional
brigade composed of the two colored regi-
ments named and of some Iowa troops
stationed at various points along the line
Tof railroad then called the Nashville &
Decatur.
When Gen Forrest made his great raid
in the rear of Sherman's army in the vain
effort to beguile that great commander
from continuing on the famous march to
the sea, nearly the entire force of Col.
Campbell, stationed at posts, stockades
and forts, was captured. The gallant Col.
Lathrop, of the 111th u. ). &. l., was
killed at the stockade at Sulphur Branch
Trestle before the surrender. No more
brave, refined and courteous man ever died
in defence of the Nation.
The fort at Athens was surrounded by
the splendid troops of Forrest to the num-
Der of 1900. There were less than 600
in the fort. To the demand for surrender
there was no alternative but merciless and
unavailing slaughter. OF the Provisional
Brigade l had the honor to be the Acting
Assistant Adjutant- General, and, of
course, became Il prisoner of war at the
surrender.
Gen. Dodge inspired his entire command
with enthusiasm in promoting the enlist
ment of colored men and organizing col
ored regiments, and soon the entire negro
population of that country, fit for military
service, came fiocking into our camps.

sands that were reported to me every
