one little incident that may be
brought fresh to m nj, told us not
long s;nnct, little story that took
tplaec at the battle of Mcdowell.
The fighting had ceased. the
Capt. said. when he found himself
and company on the Staunton &
'parkersburg road, not far from
where the old distillery now stands,
and they were very tired and hun
'gry. They rested here For a short
while, but were soon ordered, by
ocu. JxUksUn. farther UP the road
ana placed on picket duty. Already
they we're bringing the dead and
wounded down from the battle
field and were placing them on
either side Of the road, forming
that fnorYible spectacle that always
followed tie battles Of the civil
war. For some distance the road
was lined with dead men, and right
at the cid of the line, very near to
where the Captains company was
stationed, three negro teamsters
who had been drying across the
mountain while the battle was in
progress, had been killed by stray
balls and had fallen from their
teams to the road bed. the teams
passing on. There on the white
sand the colored brothers slept
with their eyes open, which sight
added to the one just presented,
was not calculated to make the
step more firm or the nerye-more
steady. . '''
This was the lay of the land at
the time the Capt. looked up the
line and saw the company's colored
cook coming down the road with
their breakfast. They watched him
as he drew nearer and they could
notice that he was on the ''jerky'
order and as he entered the dead
lines the jerkiness increased pprcept'
ibfy. Bat on he came, looking this
way and that, before and behind
but still he advanced through the
lines, with a gingerly, Facilitating
step, until he came to the PROSTATE
forms of the colored l'rothers Oh
the white saHd, and that proved toe
much for the cofofed cook. Drop

good showing for that time, managed to
secure stone breaker and roller and
sent a representative to Washington in
order to secure, if possible, an appropria-
ton for building the levee on the Missis-
sippi. Mr.. James Starkey the secretary
was unanimously chosen for this duty
The club raised $500 for his expenses, and
he secured the sum of $4,000 from con-
gress for the work.. Steps were built
from Dakota avenue to Prospect Ter
race, more, and better lights were put on
the bridge, and man other reforms and
improvements owed their origin to this
society.
Later, when the subject of bridge SAhIs
became a burning question, the club went
into politics to secure it's end and rup-
ture and finally dissolution resulted.
Through the restrained and formal state
ments of it's minutes it is possible to per-
ceive the smoldering fires of what must
have been some exciting meetings.
The organization Of this first society.
the forerunner, in a way, OF the present
one, was in some respects peculiar, fo~
one of the points most insisted upon was
that as a body it was to keep out g.
politics. The fees were % cents month,
and every Sixth ward resident could join
eupon payment of his fee.g The officers
were elected for six months, instead Of
the usual year, ana q new executive conf
mittee, consisting of ten members, was
elected every three months.
Among the various other interesting
statements found in these old minutes is
special count made upon two occa-
sions of the numbers of persons, wagons
and teams passing over the bridge be-
tween the hours of a. m. and p. M
After saying that the count had been
made by two responsible persons, the
figures are given as follows for a day
in the spring of 1882: SOL persons and
1,949 teams and wagons
The present association, which num-
bers among its members many of those
who belonged to the old society, begins
with a vastly different prospect before
it Even in their most sanguine dreams
those who composed the old association
could never have realized what the West
side is today. AS the result Of their la
bors it is covered with factories and IN

firm foundation of actual prosperity,
they think
This association is not the first one of
the kind that has started over on this
side of the great Father of Waters, and
the one called by the same name which
f1ourished in 1882, did good and vaIu-
able work. This club, too called itself
the West Side Improvement association
but was known colloquialIy as the "Citi-
zens' Union" 1t was organized in No
vemberi 1881, when really the most there
seemed of West St. Paul was a few
wooden Shacks, small extent Of two
plank sidewalk, and a river that put the
Inhabitants near it's banks to rout oc-
casionally by overlooking its due bounds
and doing incalculable damage With
a faith that was almost touching in its
strength the residents formed them
selves into this society for mutual bene-
fit, and during the several years of it's
existence work of immense value was
DONE
The objects, as stated in the minutes
were somewhat similar to those of the
present association, though, of course,
the conditions confronting the association
were very different. They proposed to
obtain an established sewerage SYSTEM
and street grades, and interested them
selves in the matter of better lighting,
opening roads and avenues in regular or
der, draining them properly, and were
actively busted in the bridge question.
The president was H. w. Slack, and
the first vice president, w. r. Sache, a
member of the new association now.
James Starkey was secretary, A. R. Star
key, second vice president, and the treas
Urer was w. A. SCmers. They had nearly
hundred members, which was a very

dustries that are thriving and prosper
ing and new and other manufactures
are coming in constantly. Since those
days the bridge has become an actual
fact, the leVee has been partially built
many of the streets then needing opening
and grading are now crowded with build
1ngs, handsome residences have gone up
there is street car service, the bridges
are lighted and the fire protection is as
good as in any other part of the city
The association has a non-political, non
sectarian clause which forbids the discus
sion of either politics or religion at the
meetings, and it intends to avoid the
| snares and pitfalls of it's predecessor,
which otherwise has past of which 1t
might be proud, and which only the ex-
IRENE exigencies of the moment, forcing
it into the political arena, brought to
an untinely end, though the West side
today reaps the benefit of much of it's
work. and it has record Of which it
can be proud.
The members of the Sixth Ward I'M
provement association are full of enthu-
slasm and faith in the great and impor-
tant future that they are confident is
just opening out for this portion of their
city, and they intend and propose to do
all in. their power to hasten and assist
in bringing this splendid promise to
speedy fruition.

NEW YORK, Jan. Ex-senator Chaun-

Mrs Depew suffered much from sea-

Senator Depew was asked what he
thought about the Panama canal and his
observation of the condition of the Euro
pean countries he had been visiting.

than the Nicaraguan," said he, land
l also think that the price Of SAD, 00G 900

people put $240, 900 600 into that canal, and
1t is the general belief that $4,000, 900 was
spent on the canal and the rest-weIl,
it evaporated.

different. I am told that there are $780,

Dock Monopoly ThrOttIing London.
The dock charges of the port of Lon
don, considered in the report of Mr..
ChOate, the United States ambassador to
Great Britain, which was recently placed
before the United States senate, are
still being eXacted, and, according to the
opinion expressed at the United STATES
consulate, there is small chance of their
being brought to an end. Congressional
action, it is thought, will be of little
avail, because international retaliation
could scarcely be brought home to the
private corporation which is responsible
for the imposition of the charges to
which the American shippers object.

series of articles this week exposing what

of the dock monopoly. The paper advo-
