STORY OF THE ANDREWS RAID.
BY PRIVATE W. c. popsoN.

prophetic in closing. he predicted that the union would be restored and the flag or our common country would waive over the very spot where he was then to offer up his life. Then, waiving his hand as a signal, the trap was sprung, and the souls of seven were launched into etern- ity. They were all hanged on the same gallows in grove just east of Oakland cemetery.
 After the execution of their companions, the minds of the fourteen who remained were consumed with gloomy forebodinss. They all became more or less religious and commenced to prepare for the death they felt sure awaited them. One of them, William Plttinger, vowed that if spared he would become a minister of the gospel, VOW he faithfully kept,
 Daring Break For Liberty.
 After several months passed in the At lanta jail, they commenced to devise plans of escape, and in the afternoon of a day in October they made a break for liberty, and strange to say eight of the fourteen escaped to the woods and sub sequent, after many hardships and vicis- situdes, gained their own lines. Two of them made their way to the chattahoo- chee river, and stealing a boat, hoated down to Apalachicola, and across the bay to the federal fleet. The others slow ly worked their way to sarety through the mountains of east Tennessee.
 That the boldest plans are usually most successful, Is suggested by the fact of the twenty men who escaped from the en- zine General into the mountains of a sparsely settled region, every one was recaptured; while eight men escaped in the midst of a populous city, with guards at the doors and guards at the gates of the jail, and not one was recaptured It was reported that these last received help from outsiders, but the raiders themselves deny this
 The remaining six were kept several months in Atlanta, were then removed to Richmond and incarcerated in Castle Thunder" and early in the spring of 1863 were exchanged as political prisoners"
 Were these men spies? Is question about which much difference of opinion mas been expressed. The Rev. Pittinger, in his book to which I am indebted for much detail of information, enters into elaborate argument to prove that they were not, but on the contrary. patriotic soldiers engaged in legitimate warfare, and goes so far as to denounce even the execution of Andrews as military. mur- der" In Atlanta there existed much sym pathy for the unfortunate men, and with many of unquestioned loyalty to the con- federacy there was a strong feeling that they should not have been executed
 1 may not be competent to pass upon the question, but notwithstanding my sympathy with their fate and admira- tion for their courage. to my mind the evidence of their guilt seems absolutely conclusive:

How Two Noted Authors Looked.

From Harper's Bulletin.
 Henry Senton Merriman (Hugh ScotD, author of "The Vultures," will not per- init the publication of his portrait, and the nearest idea the public has of his appearance is gathered from the state ment that he resembles Robert Louis Stevenson. Really" iefnarKed a friend of this author, If Scott would turn down his collars, and his hair (which he wears boot brush fashion,, the likeness to R. L. S. would be striking" He Is further described as tall and long-limbed, care less as regards clothes, lazy as regards movement with the same sharpness of feature and brillance of eye that sug- gested delicacy in Stevenson, the same humorous curve of the mouth and, in rare moments of self-abandon, there is the same tragic look of doom.'
 Mime. Sarah Grand is described in an English periodical as being at this time "a bright, pretty woman in the prime of life, with a charming personality and winning ways"-a description readily ap- proved by those who heard her lecture when she was last in this country. Her severely critical attitude toward the masculine sex so cleverly exhibited in "Babs the Impossible" and "The Heaven ly Twins" is said to be attributable to an unfortunate early marriage made at the age of 16 with a man many years her senior. Mime. Grand resides at Tun- bridge Wells. She is a member of the Pioneer club, an association largely de- voted to philanthropy, and a fellow committeewoman with Lady Harberton and Lady Henry Somerset. An exten- sion of knowledge and freedom for wom- en is Sarah Grand's basic motive in all her work.

 Because "central'' cut him off twice while talking on the telephone at his home, 3217 Homes street, R. A. Hudnall, engaged in the installment jewelry bus mess, tore the receiver from it's fasten- ings and, smashing the box into a hum dred pieces. threw them into the street. He then got an ax to remove the remain ing traces of the telephone, but desisted because of the pleadngs of his aged mother.
 MT. Hudnall is on party line. His number Is 2313 Brown, three rings. Last evening about o'clock MT Hudnall was talking to friend who intended leaving the city, Suddenly. In the middle of his conversation, "central' cut him off. After waiting several minutes, he says, he was again connected and had not been talking more than two minutes when he was again disconnected. MT. Hudnal says that again. after waiting for about five minutes, "central' said:,
 Here Is your number. These. people were in a hurry, so had to cut you off
 By thls time the person to whom Mf. Hudnall had been talking had left. This so exasperated MT. Hudnall that he hauled back the receiver and, throwing 1t as hard as he could against the tele- phone, smashed box bells and all. MT. Hudnall says he then left the house, and going to Postoffice Station E, called up 600 and asked "central' to send some one up to the house to take away the re- mains.
 'The poor service." said MT. Hudnall this morning, "has exasperated me be- yond endurance. Last Friday I went up to telephone headquarters and com plained about the service. I was prom ised an improvement but that was all I got. The service was as poor, if not worse. than ever"
 On Monday of last week there was an- other phone smashed. Exasperated by the faulty service, s. R. Guyer, a hay merchant in business at 1915 A West Eleventh street, got a hatchet and chopped his telephone into pieces, and then threw them out of the window cnto the pavement MT. Guyer left nothing of his phone except the broken pieces that were scattered about the street, and In short time they were carried away by boys.
 James M. Cottngham, principal of the Benton school, was the pioneer in the telephone smashing business in Kansas City. He had a party line phone in his

 It was reported that Andrews was to re- ceive 1000 in case his scheme proved successful but of course, the matter was of such a nature that no evidence can ever be brought forward to confirm this. It is of course, "easy to be wise after the event" but 1t seems to me that the ultimate failure of the expedition was due largely to the fact that the methods pursued were those of spies and not of soldiers; for instead of seatt ering like sheep without firing a shot when they were compelled to abandon their engine, they were strong enough to have eap- tured Fuller and Murphy ard their en- zine, as has already been suggested.
 Had they been led by a soldier, aceus- toned to encountering q soldiers dan gers and taking a soldiers risks, tnelr enterprise would probably have had diff ferent ending.
 From the fact of their being spies, how ever, it does not follow that they were not patriots, for American history has embalmed the name of Major Andre of Revolutionary fame and the bravest man of our civil war was Sam Davis, who was hanged as spy
 My article is already much too long, but I cannot refrain from appending as a fitting finale the patriotic words with which MT. Anthony Murphy concludes the statement of his connection with the pursuit and capture of the raiders:
 The invitation sent me last June dS90) through the Ohio commission who erect ed monument to Andrews and his com rades in Chattanooga and the kindness shown me while there by all l met after twenty-nine years had passed, touched a tender chord, and forced me to ask the question: What country, under what hagY Yea, what people but Americans, could so meet and shake hands and for give the past; each retaining his self respect while according to the other the highest praise for courage In the perform ance of duty?'
