MCLAUGHLIN in a few moments is so
seriously wounded that his services to
the Confederacy are lost. Col Lane hur-
ries to the left and gives similar orders
and returns to the center. During this
time the battle has been raging fiercely.
Our captains have been coolly giving
their orders. "Shoot low men," and the
men have been busy, but they have suf-
fered dreadfully. After the battle General
Heath saw the line of those who fell at
this time, and remarked that the fallen
were in line as if on dress parade. When
Col Lane returns he finds the colors still
down. Col Burgwyn and the brave pri-
yate, Franklin Honeycutt, lying by them.

replies: 1T is my time to take them
now and shouting at the top of his
voice while advancing with the flag says:
"26th, follow me-" The men answer with
a yell and press forward. Several lines of
the enemy have given away, but a most
formidable line yet remains, which seems
determined to hold its position. Volleys
of musketry are fast thinning out those
left; only skeleton line now remains.
To add to the horrors of the scene, the
battle smoke has settled down over the

BRIBERY INVESTIGATION.
Quigg Denies Ever Trying to Influence
Congressman Lessler's V0te-Dob-
lin Makes q Confession.

Washington, Jan. 27.-In the investi-
cation Saturday by the house CON-
mittee on naval affairs of the charges
made by Congressman Lessler, of New
York, that an offer of $4,000 had been
made him for his vote in favor of an
appropriation for more Holland sub
marine boats, Philip Doblin testified
that such offer was in effect made by
Lemuel E. Quigg, of New York, to Mr..
Lessler through himself.
Lemuel E. Quigg denied absolutely
the story of Doblin, the McCullagh
deputy, that he had ever spoken of
money to influence the vote of Con-
gresham hessler. He declared Doblin's
story 'unfounded" and Lessler's YER
sion of the interview in his office 'a
lie" John McCullagh also denied on
the stand Lessler's story that he had
threatened the congressman with poll
teal extinction if he kept up his opposi-
ton to the Holland submarine boat
bill.
/ Washington, Jan. 27.-During the
course of the Lessler bribery charge
investigation Monday morning Mr..
Rogers, appearing as attorney for
Philip Doblin, announced to the COM
mittee that Mr.. Doblin desired to
make a statement, and added that
Doblin had told him that some parts
Of his testimony were true, and some
parts untrue. This came as a sur
prise. After some discussion it was
decided to have Mr.. Doblin called,
and when he appeared on the stand
he said: 81 retract every word in
which I said Mr.. Quigg rendered me

vested, and for two years past it has
never been less than II per cent. The
price paid by private consumers is sc
cents per 1000 cubic feet.
T. A. Fidieland, gunmaker at
Kristiansand, has invented what he
calls a 'current motor" It looks
somewhat like common three-bladed
steamboat propeller, and it is placed
in current and turned by the weight
of the flowing water. In very many
Norwegian rivers the current is swift,
but the water power cannot be util-
lied for lack of expensive dams and
turbins. Experts assert that Mr.
Fidjeland's current motor will make it
possible to utilize vast amount of
motive power which is going to waste
on account of a lack of capital. The
new feature of Mr.. Fidjeland's motor
is, that by placing several propellers
along the same axis at proper inter-
walls the power is multiplied. At a

mills, factories, electric light plants,
