DEATH RECALLS WAR EPISODE.
Junius H. Browne, the Correspondent,
 Spent Many Months in Libby.

The death of Junius H. Browne, lingering illness at his home in this city, recalls a dramatic episode of the civil war in which he was one of the prominent figures. It was his fate to stand as a representative and martyr of the army newspaper correspondents. and also as hostage on behalf of his country in a war prison.
 Mr. Browne was just entering his ca reer as a journalist in Cincinnati when the anti-slavery agitation became acute. and he ardently espoused the side of free labor. Such was the eX- citement in the west at the firing upon the national emblem at Sumter, that the war frenzy seized all classes. Un- able to carry a musket, for he was Of slight build and delicate, he was easily persuaded to accompany the troops to the field and report their doings and sufferings to his home paper. The Tribune was soon added to his list. After he had followed Fremont's army across Missouri and back, the opening of the Mississippi under Admiral Foote and Generals Grant and Sherman gave him a new field of labor. After Donel- son, Shiloh and Memphis had been fought the siege of Vicksburg succeed ed. Mir Browne, with several other colleagues and belated officers, under took to rejoin the main army by short cut down the Mississippi. fleet of armored gunboatS had passed down a few days before to protect the crossing of the army, but the night had been stormy and the garrison unprepared.
 About May l. 1862, the little expedi- men, in charge of two barges of pro visions. The Confederates were on the alert, and the moonlight was unfavor- able for secrecy. Buildings were set afire on both shores to give better il- lumination, and for an hour and half the little expedition became a plain target for both heavy ordnance and musketry. The barges took fire, the tug exploded and about half of the de- tachment were killed or wounded. Those able to do so threw over hay bales and took to swimming for dear life. The enemy, however, came out in boats, and at the point of the bayonet all were made prisoners and taken to the jail in the beleaguered fortress
 The authorities at Richmond were especially pleased at the capture of two Tribune correspondents (Albert D. Richardson being one of the party) and aonther from the World. and ordered that they be sent to Libby prison, in

THE MORRELL CASE
Testimony of the Mother and Rela-
 tives of the Babe.

1nvestiga tion of the mysterious death and burial of the babe on the Morreli lot was continued yesterday by Coroner Gray and the jury. MT. and Mrs. Lafayette Morrell, Sarah Morrell, the mother of the child. and Lucy Morrell, sister, were examined and the inquest continued till Tuesday afternoon, when it is expected other witnesses will be present to testify. It appears from the testimony yesterday that while there were preceding irregularities, the death of the infant which was always sickly was natural. Its burial was no special secret though there were few neighbors sufficiently interested to be apprised of what was going on and no attempt was made to give the incident unnecessary publicity.
 Mrs. Morrell, the grandmother of the babe, testified that it was thirteen days old when it died and that at midnight preceding the morning of the death she arose to care for it. The babe was then ill as it had always been. Early in the morning Mrs. Morrell arose to get breakfast and in due time called her daughter. As she did not respond after a few minutes Mrs. Morrell went into her room and found her daughter Sarah holding the dead child in her arms. Sarah Morrell said that when she awoke she found the child dead. These facts were quite well es- tablished by all the witnesses examined yesterday.
 Sarah Morrell, when asked to name the father of the child, said that his first name was Charlie. and that he was youth who had not yet grown Q moustache or beard, but that she did not know his last name. She also said that he had discreetly left the valley previous to the birth of the child and that his postoffice address was not among her papers. The remains of the babe have been removed to the cemetery.

SUICIDE AT FERRY ENTRANCE
Passenger, Short Cent of His Fare
 Puts a Bullet Into His Brain.

New York, April PA German, about 60 years old, committed suicide at the entrance to the Barclay street ferry last night by shooting himself through the head.
 Policeman Murphy, standing at the ferry gate, noticed the man hurrying down Barclay street. When he reached the ferry house he put his hand in his trousers pocket as if to see what money he had. He looked around to see if anyone was watching him. Then he drew pistol from his hip pocket and, putting it to his head, fired.
 The policeman reached the man just as he fell. He was dead.
 He had only two pennies in his pocket. just one copper short of his fare to Hoboken. Besides, he had a gold watch, pair of gold-rimmed specta- cleS and a penknife.
 He was about five feet eight inches tall, gray bearded and of fair com plexion. His overcoat was black; so were his sack coat and waistcoat: his trousers were striped, and his shoes tan, laced. The body was taken to the morgue.

TRUCE AT AN END
The Water Trouble of Last Fall in a
 Way to Be Revived.

The truce which has existed since last fall between the non-water right own CTS and the canal companies is at an end. After a long period of gate cut ting last fall some of the water right owners and shareholders got together with the non-water right owners and an arrangement was made by which water would be delivered to the latter with the consent of the owners. A com mittee waited upon General Manager Cleary of the company and appraised him of the arrangement. He said that since 1t was matter which did not concern the company he would deliver water to the non-owners until some ob- jectiOn should be raised by an owner The company in the meantime having been unable to secure verdicts before a jury against the gate cutters, had procured an injunction out of the dis trict court against them. The arrange ment above described was made with the understanding that it was to be ef- feqtive only until a settlement of the case could be had in district court. The company proceeded to deliver water to owner and non-owner alike.
 For some time the owners have been getting restless and they were told by Mir Cleary that whenever he was asked to disregard the agreement between them and the non-owners or rather when objection was made to a further continuance of the arrangement he would again deliver water only to the owners. It may be stated that tine company was accepting no money from the non-owners, for it had already been ra.ai T3 h
 reimbursed by the non-owning users.
 A meeting of the representatives of the owners and non-owners was held last Saturday at which it was expected to bring the arrangement to a close. but no one was willing to take the re- sponsibility of doing so and the matter went over to yesterday, when another meeting was held.
 The same unwillingness to assume re- sponsibility was manifested and there was an equal unwillingness to continue the arrangement. The following reso- lution was offered: That the com mittee be instructed to ask MT. CIeary to let matters remain as they are until such time as they can get into court" This resolution was lost. The one fol- lowing was adopted: That the com
 
 court is here and that the matter is in his hands," This resolution was pre- sented to MT. Cleary by a committee consisting of John R. Norton, F. H. Parker, Sam F. Webb, John T. Hughes and James P. Ivy. It may be said that the members of the committee or at least majority of the committee were dissatisfied with the resolution, which seemed to be an evasion of a responsi- blllty. MT. Cleary saw in it an effort to force him to take the initiative, but he declined to do so. However, as the resolution clearly showed that the stockholders desired to withdraw their former request, and so stated individ- ually, the gates will be shut down as they were before the ar engagement and then in the event of in- reference with them the injunction will be tested.

the hope of a desired exchange for some we'll known southern civilians then in northern prisons. It is usually optional for a commanding general to detain privileged non- -cOmbatants or to release them on parole, but in this case superior orders forbade a release
 It happened that about the time of their arrival in Richmond the business of exchanging prisoners of war was drifting into an acrimonious and stub born dispute. Secretary Stanton and General Butler on the one side and Sec retary Seddon and Colonel Ould on the other side, contriving 10 suspend all exchanges and entail great suffering and mortality on the prisoners, for which each side laid the blame on the other. President Lincoln gave his per sonal attention to an offer brought for an exchange of two Virginians caught running the blockade for Richardson and Browne, but the time was unpro- pitiouS; the advance of Lee to the up- per Potomac, on the one hand and the investment of Vicksburg delayed it. Then the inmates of Libby began to dig tunnels out to liberty, and the officers were removed far inland to Salisbury, N. c. Not until twenty months after their capture, during which they en- dured privations and abuse enough to have driven less stout hearts to feeble ness, insanity or death, did they regain their freedom, and then not through the favor of the exchange officers, but by escaping and making Journey of 200 miles across snowy mountains, ill clad and chiefly at night.
 Richardson and Browne finally ar rived at Knoxville, Tenn, the former to find his young wife dead and his chil- dren committed to the care of strang- CTS. The close of the war soon after led both to book and newspaper writing as profession. Browne contributed to several leading periodicals on variety of topics.

AN ENTERPRISING BURGLAR
And His Secret for Making Money Out
 of Skinned Milk.

There is an enterprising burglar in Sunday night. He is not one of those fellows that wants to crack a safe or steal gold coin. He is satisfied if he can just get hold of a good quantity and quality of raw material and work it up into a bank account.
 Last Sunday night he employees of the Valley Pride creamery filled their churn with 300 pounds of good rich cream preparat tory to an early run in the morning. Next morning with no thought that anything had happened they started the churn and after the run were surprised to find that there was no butter, but instead there were 300 pounds of skinned milk that as saved nightly low in butter and noth- ing in gold and silver.
 An investigation of the premises showed that during Sunday night someone had removed the cream and left the milk in it's place. Mana ger w. c. Dawes put his wits to work and came to the conclusion that for certain reasons which he will probably tell in court, he believed the burglar to be August Hegelund, who conducts q cheese factory north of the city. He therefore caused a warrant for his ar rest on the charge of burglary to be issued from Justice Gray's court and it was served yesterday.
 MT. Hegelund said when arrested that he could prove an alibi, as he was at home all Sunday night. He was ar raigned and pleaded not guilty, where upon the case was set for trial Mon day at 1:30 o'clock, and he was released on $500 bonds furnished by two well known business men.

He is sixty years old and in his younger days was engaged in shipping and had represented the town in the state legislature The town re- fused the daughters request on the ground that the town could not stand the expense of committing him to an asylum.
 As last resort she made a charge of breach of the peace, being habitually intemperate, and of being drunk on a certain day and on Saturday. Con- stable Medley took Newman from his home at Coscob and confined him in the village lookup. This morning he plead ed not guilty to the charges, but his daughters story of how ne had be- haved toward her and her mother. in terferins with her plans for the future by his actions, coupled with her state ment that in two months she would leave college and then be able to SUD- port her mother, caused the court to infiict jail sentence
