CAPT. CARTER is RELEASED.
Military PecuIator Leaves Fort LeaV-
enworth Penitentiary.


Oberlin NJ. Carter, ex-captain of en-
gineers, U. S. A, has left the United
States penitentiary at Fort Leaven-
worth. Three years and seven months
is the actual time Carter served with
In the walls of the penitentiary. He
was sentenced TO live years impris-
onment by court-martial for alleged
frauds in connection with the Savan-
nah harbor improvements. According
to the federal statutes a government
prisoner is allowed two months off
each year for good time, ten mouths
in Carriers case. He was held seven
months in confinement at Governors
Island, N. Y, before he reached the
penitentiary. BY the military code
prisoners time commences from the
day his sentence is approved, which
with Carter was Sept. %, 1899. He
was able to keep out of the peniten-
tiary until the following April 81, sew
en- months, through applying for new
trials, appeals and the like.
Carter is in excellent health and
weighs twenty pounds more than
when he entered prison. He is AZ
years old, but during his confinement
aged rapidly, his hair now being near
ly white. He was first assigned to
duty as doorkeeper for the tin, shoe,
tailor and repair shop. He did this
work quickly and spent most of the
day brooding over his troubles and as
a result became extremely nervous
and was on the point of breaking
down.
The prison physician recon nended
outdoor exercise and he was put in
charge of the flower garden and lawns,
where he pushed a law mower. Later
on he was placed in the hospital,
where he acted as a nurse and kept
the records. He soon became an eff
cient nurse and for the last year has
been teaching the new convict nurses.
Carter has never associated with
any prioner aside from Capt. Dem
ing, another army officer, who was re-
leased on habeas corpus. But he has
been kind to those injured or sick. By
living at the hospital he obtained bet
ter food than that furnished to pris-
oners in the construction gangs. He

The Blue and the Gray.

There are no firmer friends or
stancher comrades to-day than VIII
liam Kaufman and James J. Acker
man, both of Staten Island Both are
veterans of the civil war, in which
they fought on opposing sides.
Kaufman, who is now sixty-two
years old and lives in Port Richmond,
was private in Company C, TWEEN
tieth New York Volunteer Infantry.
Alderman is sixty-three years old and
lives in Mariners Harbor. He served
in the ranks of the First Virginia Regi-
ment of Confederate Artillery, in the
Second Company of Richmond.
Both regiments participated in many
engagements, and on two occasions
directly opposed each other. In one
of the battles at Charlottesville, the
two regiments engaged in a hand-to-
hand struggle back of the court house.
In this fight Kaufman and Alderman
were both wounded. The Union sol
der fell with a bayonet wound in the
head.
When consciousness returned Kauf-
mann found the body of a wounded
Confederate beside him. Kaufman
gave him drink from his canteen and
asked if he were badly hurt
I'm afraid l am said the Confed-
crate. IF you get a chance will you
tell my folks? My name is James j.
Alderman and live in Richmond, vir
ginia." He then 1apsed into uncon-
seriousness again.
Shortly after this the hospital CORPS
of each army collected their wounded
and in a few weeks Kaufman and
Alderman were again in fighting trim
with their respective regiments.
Some weeks later both regiments
again faced each other at Cold Har-
Dor. There was an armistice. during
which the soldiers of the opposing
armies exchanged newspapers and to-
bacco. During this breathing spell

Capture of Jefferson Davis.

Mrs Lucy Bennett of Benton Har-
Dor, Mich, writes to the Chicago Trib-
une as follows:
An article in another newspaper
some time ago stated that ]. M.
Wheeler, who died recently on a
Union Pacific train, one of the cap
tors of JEFF Davis, claimed that he
was the first northern soldier who
laid hands on him.
Now, the story of the capture is
briefly this: The Fourth Michigan
cavalry had been following Davis
many days and nights, with scarcely
no rest. At nightfall they halted,
and volunteers were called for, who
were willing to push on. One hum
dred and twenty-eight men and eight
officers stepped forward. They Sc
lected the best of the horses, and,
piloted short route over the hills by
an old negro, they came upon the
camp before daylight. My husband,
one of the officers, stationed the
guard around the camp, when about
that time Wisconsin regiment came
up, and a little skirmish took place
before it was light enough to see that
they were all union soldiers. Pres
emily Mrs. Davis and her maid came
out of a tent, leading an old lady
bowed with age, clad in a loose wrap
per or morning gown, a little shawl
tied over her head, and a pail on her
arm. Mrs. Davis asked permission
of the guard for her mother to go to
the spring for a pail of water. After
the old lady had passed the guard.
for ease in walking she lifted the
skirt of her dress, and in doing so
disclosed her boots. The guard said
HALT" and he halted, for it was
Davis, with this outer cover, a lady's
morning gown, thrown over his cloth
ing. No one laid hands on hint
was not necessary. When discovered
his face flushed, and, drawing his
knife, he exclaimed: 81 may as well
die now as any time" Mrs. Davis
said, Don't irritate the president"
This is the true story of the capture
of jefferson Davis. They knew
nothing of the reward offered. My
husband received his portion, which
was nearly $1,000.
