MORGAN's DASH FOR LIBERTY.

and Morgan's clever operator Ellis
worth took from the wires some Fed
eral dispatches giving orders how to
pursue the invaders. Everything indi-
Gated that the pursuers were behind
time. Morgan was moving at the pace
Of a cyclone. The raiders averaged
twenty-one hours in saddle every day.
| When horses gave out they seized
| fresh ones, sometimes three or four
daily for single trooper.
Morgan entered Ohio just north of
Cincinnati and rode through the sub
| urbs Of that city in the night. July is
| he reached the eastern border Of the
| state at Bufington's Bar. At that
point the expedition changea from a
raid into running fight for life. Nor
gan might have escaped into West Vir,
g1nia by abandoning his artillery and
wounded, but he preferred to save all
or lose all. Early on the 10Th the adj
vance Of General Judah's pursuing col
umn discovered the raiders camp
| After skirmish in which Morgan's
troopers won everything the artillery
began a duel at long range. A second
Federal column under General Shackle-
ford moved up on another road from
the one occupied by Judah, and at the
same time some Federal gunboats in
the river opened fire in Morgan's rear.
The concentrated fire from three di-
rections stampeded Morgan's wagons,
and they blocked the. only road of es-
cape. When the confusion was at it's
height in Morgan's lines the Seventh
and Eighth Michigan cavalry and part
Of the Fifth Indiana charged the raid
ers. Morgan's guns wereccaptured and
his whole command thrown into panic.
Colonel Duke and Colonel Smith sur
rendered to Colonel Garrard Of the Sew

1000 of his men. ~ Gal!opins rapidly

an hour later when woman, entering
the vestibule of a sleeping car, swayed
and lost her balance as the engine
backed against the train.
For sickening second her eyes
closed. Her hands went out gropingly,
dropping the gripsack they had held.
Then the arm that was as the arm of
youth in the strength of it's love went
round her. With a blessed sense of
safety, her eyes opened and rested on
the we'll worn edge of familiar over

her own fingers had repaired.

claimed to have surrendered to home
guard captain under treaty wholly in
his favor. This was repudiated by Gen
eral Shackleford and Colonel Wool
ford, whose brigades were at hand.
Morgan asked to be placed on the field
again with $50 sabers for a settlement
Of the dispute by trial of arms, but
finally yielded to the advice of Colonel
Woolford. Kentuckian and an old
friend Of the raider, who had been at
the head Of the pursuit from the start.
The raiding adventure eliminated in
one of the most remarkable prison es-
capes in history. Morgan and his off,
GERS. to the number of seventy. were
imprisoned in the penitentiary at Co.
lumbus. Their cells were set in solid
masonry so formed as to constitute an
interior structure similar to cage in a
large room. The raiders were locked
in the cells between shutdown and SUM-
Use, were not permitted to have news
papers, and their correspondence was
dgidly censored.
After some study one Of the prison
ers, Captain Thomas II. Hines, came
to the conclusion that there must be an
mir, chamber beneath the floor of the
cage. Cutting away the cement floor
with steel case knives. Morgan. Hines
and four others found a chamber six
feet wide and four feet high. 1t ex-
tended to the end Of the wing in which
the cage was built. Working from
the chamber. the prisoners tunneled
through twenty-seven feet of wall and
earth to the prison yard.
With five comrades Morgan went out
one night. They scaled the outer wall
by means Of rope and graphing
hook. exchanged their prison garb for
citizens clothing and boarded a train
for Cincinnati. Morgan and Hines
jumped from the train before it reach
ed the station. crossed the Ohio in q

among friends. In few days they had

WAVES OF WATER,

The deepest running stream in the
world is said to be the Niagara river,
just under the Suspension bridge.
The Thames has excellent tides.
which rise fully twenty feet in spring
and about seventeen feet at the neap.
and it is always an easy river for tidal
navigation.
The Mississippi and its tributaries
are navigable for $4,000 miles. The
rivers of Europe furnish navigation for
only half as many miles, and few Of
them are connected.

The Gazette had the pleasure
last week of informing it's
readers Of the generous appro-
priation of one thousand dollars
made by the General Education
Board on the condition that an
equal amount be duplicated by
the people of the parish, both
sums to be used in the equip
ment Of the public schools. 1t
was through the personal recon-
mendatiOn of DR.. Wallace But
trick, secretary and executive
officer of the Board, that the
schools of this parish were made
the beneticiaries of this generos-
ity. But only the we'll directed
and untiring efforts Of Superin-
tendent Alleman could have won
recognition Of our claims, and to
him praise is justly due In
personal letter written by DR..
Buttrick relative to the Board 8
action, that gentleman says it
was his esteem of Mr.. Alleman
and an appreciation of his efforts
and ability as a superintendent
that prompted his recommends
ton. DR.. Buttrick also recog-
nizes the devotion OF DR.. N. p.
Moss and Mr.. Alcide JUDGE to
the cause of public education in
Lafayette parish. Superinten-
dent Alleman has shown COM
mendable zeal in the performance
OF his duties, and especially
jealous has he been in the efforts
to obtain assistance from the
Education Board in order to
equip properly the school-rooms,
and The Gazette is happy to see
such a substantial proof that his
work has not been in vain.

Although the Venezuelan in
cident has closed and passed
with customary modern rapidity
into the fields of the forgotten.
its Influences and suggestions
begin to be reflected in ways
scarcely less urgent than the
controversy itself. says Golfers
Weekly. 1t was the freedom
with which the public was taken
into the confidence of the negOtia-
tons that brought the dispute
to it's close so readily. 1t is a
tendency toward a similar free
dom between the govern mental
powers and public in all matters
of State that is the controversy
most conspicuous bequest. In
Great Britain Premier Balfour,
now named the most popular
Premier since Gladstone, ac-
cepting the tendency, has asked
that those in position to affect
popular opinion in any wise re-
frain with all care from intlam-
ing international prejudices; in
Germany the emperor has al
lowed his personality and his
policies to become the topic Of
frank debate in Legislature and
in the press: in the Balkan
trOu BILE the antagOniStic factors
have resorted to the press in the
aim to represent themselves
Alright before the popular tribu-
nal; in the United States, almost
simultaneously with the signing
of the Venezuelan protocol, the
policy of publicity has been de-
clared and set in motion in the
important realm OF commerce.
True, the public is the govern
ment, and is presumed to be in
the governments confidence at
all times, but the increasing
scope of national admins tratiOn,
the evolutions of diplomacy, and
the corruptions of politics, in
European states as we'll as
American, have contributed to-
ward other inclinatiOnS. Frank
ness has been feared; it's favor
able force has not been devined.
And some such threateningly
dramatic situation as the Ven
ezuelan affair seems to have been
needed to disclose the simplicity
of this means of power. To
whom individually, if to any one,
is due the credi of bringing about
the disclosure, it is not easy to
say. Large and vital transfor-
matlous reaching to funda-
mental bases are usually the
product of long and continued
evOlutions; but it would be unfair
to the current administration at
Washington not to think that
the President own natural
candor, standing as a support
behind Mr.. Bowen, had had
much to do with the Development,
and that without this perhaps
the conclusion of the dispute
would not have been so strongly
and notably wrought. 1t will be
interesting hereafter 10 observe
how far the tendency will spread,
and how deeply it will effect the
methods and ideals of govern
ment.
