proposed to inHict, and to urge
Gen. Forrest to turn back. These
facts were communicated to Gen.
Duke, who felt much de1icacy in re-
lating the story to Gen. Forrest,
but deemed it his duty, and, there
fore, explained the situation to him.
The train was nearing the sta
ton, and whatever was decided on
must be done quickly. The conduct
or accompanied Gen. Duke and
urged Gen. Forrest to get off; that
he knew the man to be very desper-
ate.
General Duke simply stated what
he had been told, and said: Gen
eral, we will stand by you For
rest thanked him, but said 1.-THE
man does not know me, therefore
can not have any quarrel with me.
1t is all talk, and l am going to re-
main in this car
The train slowed down for the
station and the crowd surrounded
the platform. No one could tell
what the next few minutes would
bring forth.
AS soon as the train had stopped
the big bully burst open the door
and smashed the glass in the upper
part of it as a herald of his APP
proach.
He started down the aisle calling
for the damned rebel to stand up.
Gen Forrest was eating an apple,
and the only person in the car with
out evidences of excitement The
bad man finally sized him up and
made toward him, cursing and
charging.
Gen. Forrest, quick as d flash,
grasped him by the throat, and in
less than two seconds had thrown
him headlong from the platform of
the car to the ground. The Gener-
al made the air blue for an instant
and when the bully regained his
feet he was on dead run. Forrest
quickly realized the ludicrousness
of the affair and burst into a laugh.
The train soon pulled out, and
the crowd, which had assembled to
see the damned rebel dragged
through the street, was waving hats
and handkerchiefsand giving cheers
for Forrest,-New Orleans Plea

Excitement at Fayetteville.

But for the vigilance and prompt
ness of officers, Charles H. Waddle,
who killed Policeman Pleas Nevils
at Fayetteville last Friday night by
beating his brains out, would have
been lynched. Nevis was sitting
in front of store, reading a news
paper, when Waddle walked up
and, it is alleged, without saying a
word beat his head into a pulp.
Waddle was hunted all night ty Of
icers and. surrendered Saturday
morning when he found he could
not get away. Angry crowds of
men began to gather and the Off
GERS, fearing the worst, slipped
Waddle away and took him to Nash
vile.
Neyils was killed, it is said, be-
cause he had arrested Waddle some
time ago for loose morals. There
is great excitement there, and if
is brought back he is al
most sure to be lynched.

FORREST CURBED A BULLY.
How the Memphis General Made a
Northener Hard to Catch.

( In the summer of 1868 the Ten
nessee delegates to the National
Democratic convention which nom
mated Mr.. Seymour for the presi-
dency met at Nashville and proceed
ed in a body. Gen. Forrest was a
delegate from Memphis, and it was
the first time lie had gone North
since the war,
Sectional feelings were intense
at that period, but no one of the
party felt any concern for tue safe
ty of even Gen. Forrest.
The war had ended and there
was no occasion for alarm. Reach
ing Louisville, the Kentucky dele
gates joined the Tennesseans, one
Of whom was Gen. Basil Duke
Gen. Duke had not before met Gen.
Forrest, but after making his ac-
quaintance the two sat opposite in
the sleeper chatting pleasantly over
the events of IL past.
While in Louisville Gen. Forrest
telegraphed the ticket agent at GIN
cinnati, asking him to reserve
section for his use in the New York
sleeper. The operator, like every
one else at that time, was familiar
with the name of Forrest, and glad
ly shared with his friends at other
stations the news which would af-
ford them an opportunity of seeing
the great cavalryman. At one of
the stations there lived a man who
had been for some time a terror to
his neighbors. He was known to
have killed several men and every
body at his home gave him the right
of way
He was man of herculean build |
and wore a scrowling expression.
He preferred war to peaee and
sought every opportunity to pick
quarrel. This desperate fellow
happened to hear that Forrest
would pass on the train, and he
vent from place to place telling
hose he met that he intended to
AXE the damned rebel from the
rain and drag him through the
streets. Fully 1000 people collect
ID at the depot to see him do it.
The big rufian grew more furious
IS the crowd was augmented, and
he operator who gave out the news
leemed it wise to notify Gen. For
est and suggest that he remain
where he was and await the night
rain. The conductor on a south
,ound train was told to state the
acts to the conductor on the train
'earing the delegates, and say that
great mob had already assembled {

St. Thomas, D. w. l., May r.
While all sympathy is directed to-
ward ST. Pierre, Martinique, with
it's almost unparalleled disaster,
apprchensive glances are cast also
in the direction of the Island OF St
Vincent, where more than 500 per-
sons have already persisted during
the fiery showers of La Soutr1ere,
the huge volcano which dominates
the island. A violent eruption has
DESTROYED the cattle and sheep,
ruined the harvests, dried up the
streams and compelled the inhabi-
tants to flee'to the capital.
Immediately after the first shock
of the eruption and the rush of the
molten lava flood to the sea, an I'M
mense tidal wave rushed landward,
sweeping everything before 1t and
doing great damage. During the
first shock about thirty lives were
lost, and the whole W1ndWard dis
tr1ct of the island covered with dust
and scorlae. The shock was felt
as far as Barbados. This was on
May 7. The eruption continued on
May s, and the shocks Of earth
quake brought down many houses
and damaged much property.
Following the earthquake shocks,
the volcano La Soufriere exploded
an immense cloud of steam ascend
ing skyward from the old lake in
the crater. The force of the eXplo-
sion steadily grew and gradually
the old crater, as well as the new
orifce, joined in the bombardment
of the Wallibou and Richmond Val
legs, compelling the inhabitants to
escape to Chateau Bellair for shell
ter.
On Sunday, May II, the eruption
could not be seen from Kingstown,
the capital, on account of the dense
dust clouds that covered the whole
island, and blown seward, fell
forty miles away, At Tourama
and Orange Hill the buildings were
demolished and the stock killed by
showers of lava, stones and ashes,
which Tell continuously for more
than two hours.
The eruption continues, accom-
panied by an immense cloud Of
steam, wide streams of burning
lava, falling dust and impenetra-

WOULD TUNNEL NORTH RIVER
PennsyIvania Railroad Asks Mayor Of
New York for Permanent
Franchise.

NEW YORK, March 21.-There was a pub
tic hearing before the mayor today on the
bill to permit the building OF a tunnel by
the Pennsylvania Railroad company under
the North river. John @. Johnson, counsel
for the Pennsylvania railroad, said that the
only practicable way for connecting the
Long Island and Pennsylvania railroads was
by the TUNE and that the tunnel plan
could not be entered upon unless the fran
chisea we're granted permanently. For the
construction OF this tunnel" he said, "the
Pennsylvania company has already acquired
real estate to the value of more than
s 1000. 900. and for the completion Of the i'm
provements the expense will be close to OF
beyond 5000 0 .OOO."
John R. Dos Pasos. counsel for the New
York & New Jersey Railroad company; JEFF
ferson n. Levy and others spoke in favor
Of the proposition, saying the tunnel was a
necessity for the city OF New York.
Alexander E. Orr, president of the Rapid
Transit commission. opposed the bill as
passed by. the legislature, but said the
members Of the commission favored the
entry Of the Pennsylvania into New York
by means OF a tunnel. =
Edward NJ. Shepard, counsel for the Rapid
Transit company, said the measure. in its
present form, would make the city subordi.
nate to the power Of the railroads.
Under the provisions OF the bill, Mr.
Shepard commended. that the possibilities o.
the Pennsylvania for good we're large. buI
its possibilities for evil, he argued, were
everlasting.
At the. conclusion of the hearing th'
mayor said he believed that much Of the
criticism Of the measure proceeded from
MISREPRESENTATION. He asked that thu
Rapid Transit commission, II 1t so desired
should submit any alternative to him b.
tomorrow. so that he could act on 1t b!
Monday.

The commissioners objected upon tn
ground that in it's existing shape the meas
ure eneroaehes upon the powers veste'
in the board.
