Rather q Romantic Scene.
Charlotte Observer.)

Raleigh: May 23.-A romantic scene
was witnessed here this morning when
Col. John r. Lane was irtroduoed to
MIR. Charles II. Mot Connell, of Chicago,
and Col. Lane grasped the hand Of
the man who shot him down upon the
field of Gettysburg forty years ago
and almost killed him. Col. W. q.
s. Burgwyu, Of Weldon, arranged this
meeting between the two sacred veter.
ans and introduced them. Mr.. Mo.
Connell served in the 24th Michigan
regiment of the Iron Brigade of the
Potomac. His company was almost
annihilated at Gettysburg and he has
been much interested in that groat
battle. A few years ago he wrote to
Col. A. NJ. Waddell, Of Wilmington,
to secure some information and his
letter was referred to Col. w. H. s.
Burgwyn, Of Weldon. This led to
correspondence between Col. Burgwyn
and Mr.. Mcdonnell. Later they met
IL Richmond, Va, when Mr.. MoCon.
nell remarked that ne fred the last
shot from his company and brought
down the color-bearer Of the 26th
North Carolina regiment. "Then you
are the man who shot Col. John r.
Lane," declared Col. Burgwyn. Ar
rangements were then made for the
meeting which took place here to-day,
and MIR. Mcconnell said this after.

The heaviest losses recorded on any
modern, battlefield were the 26th
North Caroline regiment, with loss
of so per cent, aud the Oath Michigan,
with 80 per cent loss. Col. Lane and
Mr.. Mcdonnell are survivors Of these
gallant regiments.
In reply to areporter' question MF.
MCCONNELL gave this account Of the
shooting TO Col. Lane: "The battle
was nearing its close at Gettysburg"
he said, ''aud only eight men Of the
fifty-fonf iii our company in the oath
Michigan regiment were left. Our
ammunition WAS exhausted, but had
one cartridge left, which was TO be
the last shot We fired at Gettysburg.

I remained in thought a moment or

OF two uptown shoemakers are to be

are supposed to add very much to the

He Wanted to Have the Names Of All

The first crank to maze his appear
ance at the White House since the re-
turn OF the President, says the Wash

sion that the man was muddy" in Sc
cret service parlance, and turned him
over In an adroit manner to a secret
service officer. The officer soon found
the mans story. Il want to see the

and the president must Issue an or
der to DO this at once. l came here
all the way from Chicago to see that
this thing is done properly. Just
look at the way people are named.
Here are men In the undertaking bust
ness bearing all kinds OF names. Ev-
cry man in that business should be
named Coffin. Every man in the
wood business should be named Wood.
All the grocers ought to be named
Butter or Lard or called by the name
OF the goods sold in thei- stores. Here
are dry goods dealers bearing all
kinds of good names, when they ought
to bear the names of Thread, Buttons,
Cambria, Calico and other things. 1t
is a shame the way this thing is done
now. The wrong naming OF people
leads to trouble and business con-
fusion and there is only one safe
tn lg-tnat is, to char re the name.

Well, that roller ought TO furnish the

BY this time the crank had been
slowly escorted across the grounds by
