Winchester, Ky, Sentinel

Capt Leland Hathaway, of Winchester,
Ky, was connected with the Confederate
service during the war between the States.
He was Il member of the 18th Ky, of
Morsan's command, and a prisoner at
Fort Delaware. After being released, he
was again captured ut Irwinville, Ga,
with Jefferson Davis, May TO- 1865, and
taken first to Macon, then to Augusta,
then to Fortress Monroe. and finally to
Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, where he
with others were placed i'll solitary con-
hnement. He was released July II, 1860.
No explanation was made rs to why he
was put i'll solitary confinement or why he
was not released sooper. The fact that
he was captured with Mr.. Davis and the
strong feeling against Davis at the time
may account for it. The Police Sergeant
i'll charge of cells was John NJ. Riley, of
the 18th Ind. Iouaves, who was very kind
to- Capt. hathaway. \ small trinket in
the form of Il star and crescent had been
presented to Capt. Hathaway while
prisoner at Fort Delaware. 1t, with his
other trinkets, was taken from him when
he was captured. When released from
Fort AcHenry this little trinket was left,
probably overlooked or forgotten. as it was
of little value. Later, when Riley trans
ferred his authority to another, this trim
ket was found and Riley took it with him.
In 1892 Mr.. Riley, who is now a prosper
Gus business man at MoOreield, Ind,
learned that there was Il Hathaway living
in Winchester. He wrote to know if it
was the same Hathaway that was in
prison at Fort MclIenry. When satisfied
it was, he returned the trinket to Capt.
Hathaway.

i Senatorial Collision.

In the Senate on Monday Mr.. Bailey,
of Texas. severely criticised Judge Pen
field, Solicitor for the State Department.
Both OF the Senators from Indiana ut
once came to his defense. and Mr.. Bever-
idge was particularly vigorous in his Ian
guagc. He criticised the statement of
Mr.. bailey as Ian unwarranted attack.
Mr.. Bailey endeavored to have Mr.. Bev-
eridge withdraw the lnng;age, but the lat
ter refused. After the adjournment Of the
Senate the Texas Senator again ap-
preached Mr.. Bcveridge and appealed to
him to withdraw what he characterized
as insulting language. Upon the refusal
of Mr.. Bevcridge, the Texan grabbed him
by the throat, but Senator Spooner and
others being present. seized him and res
cued the Indiana man from his clutches.
Mr.. Bailey's language was very violent,
and he intimated that he intended to call
out the Senator from Indiana. AS the in
cdent did not occur during the session
of the Senate probably nothing more will
be heard of it, although it afforded a SEN
sation for the corridors of the Capitol for
the time being.
