A STORY OF THE WAR.
Why an Execution Ordered by Gen.

Col. George Inman, Il civil engineer,
who was an engineer In the Union
army with Grant in front of Peters
burg in 1864-65, as colonel OF engi-
neers, now engaged on some public
work near Richmond, told this story
Of U. 8. Grant to a group OF Confeder-
ate veterans, ex-oillccrs, there re-
Gently.
In the winter Of 1864 Captain
Hamilton, Of the Confederate army,
was captured within the Federal
lines, and there were found on his
person papers which clearly indicated
that he had penetrated the lines for
the purpose Of gaining information
for General Lee. He was courtmar-
tailed and was at once condemned to
be hanged at sunrise the next day.
Colonel Hamilton, who was In com
mand Of cavalry regiment, under
General Grant, was charged with the
duty OF furnishing the detail which
was to execute the sentence of the
court.
The night Of the day on which the
court pronounced the sentence on Cap

to General Grants tent to see him
on a matter connected with the opera
tions against the Confederates. He
had been In the tent for some time
when the orderly announced, Colo

the colonel said In hard tones: Gen

General Grant started as IL to

why not?" he said In sharp tones.
THE FATHERS REPLY.
The colonel was silent. He stood
with barred head, dropped on his
bosom. General Grant again asked
him why he refused to obey his order,
and this time there was a sharpness
In his tone which was not there be-
fore. Colonel Hamilton raised his
head and looked the. commander
in-chief full in the face.
General, that man is nay only son. -
General Grant looked his officer in
the face for moment. Then he
turned his back. The colonel re-
maincd standing and silent uncovered
and his head bowed. Then Gener a
Grant wheeled around and said in a
harsh voice:

OIL CASE CARRIED
TO SUPREME COURT
(Stan Specially

Columbus, June II. The case of
Edward Langenbach, Arthur Morton
and Frank M. Hardwick against Mary
Scott, from Stark county, has been
filed in supreme court. The action
was brought by Scott who secured a
judgment in the circuit pleas court
against the plaintiffs for the destruc-
ton of her home at Scio by fire as the
result Of an overflow Of oil from their
tanks. The oil caught fire communi-
eating 1t to many buildings which were
destroyed. Canton residents are FAM
iliar with the details OF the catastro-
phe. This is the second damage suit
to reach the supreme court as re-
suit of the property loss, the first hav-
ing been decided several weeks ago.
Mary Scott was made party defendant
in the first suit because of having
leased the premises held by the par
ties sued and possessing certain in
terest in the output. The court, how
ever, ruled she could not be held for
damages and rendered the case back to
the common pleas court. Langenbach
Morton and Hardwick leased the prem
ises on January 26, 1899, agreeing to
replace the house II 1t was burned
down or purchase the premises for
81, 900. On March 18 following q tank
of oil on the premises collapsed and
the oil caught fire and caused the COM
plete destruction of all the buildings
ON the place. Mrs. Scott sued for $3,-
COO. She lost in the common pleas
court but won in the circuit court.
The plaintiffs in error ask that the
judgment of the circuit court be re-
versed and that Of the common pleas
court be affirmed. c. C. Bow and
Lynch, Day & Day are for the plain
tiffs in error and Harrison & Aston
and A. A. Thayer for the defendant In
error.
