Geneva, N Y, Oct. 2l.-Two freight
trains on the Pennsylvania division Of

this morning on a curve at the junction

Nine Pairs of Brothers.

About brothers in companies? In
company |, Third Ohio, were nine pairs
of brothers: George and Charlie Merrill,
Curly and John Vanbrimer, John and
Charles Hiskett, John and Charles Bene-
dict, Milo and Simon WEIGH Jasper and
NJ Mann, Joseph and S. x. Moore, Ed
ward and l.. Reed. Lieut.. Moore was
left in hospital at Tigert Valley, w. Va,
in October, 81. George and Charlie
Merrill lost their lives at the battle of
Perryville, Ky; Curly Vanbrimer lost
an arm at that battle; John died in hos
pitaI John Benedict was wounded at
the battle of Stone river, and died in
hospital. Lieut.. Reed was captured on
the Streight raid, near Rome, Ca, and
was sent to Charleston, S. c., with other
officers, to be placed under fire of the
union batteries during the bombardment
of the city. He escaped and was hid
away by an old negro, but was taken
down with the yellow fever and died.
Three pairs of those brothers (of which
the writer is one) are still living. We
went through all the battles and marches
of the regiment from start to finish. We
were in the Streight raid and were cap
tured by Forrest near Rome, Ga, were

A Famous Flag.

The war department has received
from William Clausen, Of New York
city, the old flag of the First New York
fire zouaves. This was the flag carried
by the command in the civil war, and is
the emblem which the gallant Col. Ellis
worth replaced on the staff of the man
sion house at Alexandria, Va, when he
removed the confederate flag, for which
act he sacrificed his life. Mr. Clausen
says he came into possession Of the flag
as a gift from Andrew Goven, who was
treasurer of Ellsworth post, G. A. r., and
the custodian of the flag. Mr.. Clausen
has the documents to prove that the flag
is an authentic relic. and he has sent it
to the war department with the under
standing that it shall be added to the
war collection in Cullum memorial hall

the Ninth Vermont was sent to Camp
Douglas, Chicago, to guard confed-
crate prisoners, until exchanged.
This was a great disappointment
to Peter Mayville, and, as exchange
was delayed the Vermonter became
FESTIVE, and then rebelIious. One
dark night he slipped out of camp and
never returned. He was reported a
deserter, and was so regarded by the
mel who knew him best. Mayville
made his way to Pennsylvania, and en-
listed. under the name of Peter Barry,
in a regiment on it's way to the front.
He saw hard service at once, and at
Gettysburg lost both arms, and re-
ceived other wounds. Not believing
that he could recover, he told his story
to the surgeon, and in the end was
sent home to Vermont, in as good con-
dition as was possible under the cir
cumstances.
"Mayville had been something of a
character in his home neighborhood,
ter Newcome. This name was given
him because his young Canadian wife,
in the year they came from Quebec
to Vermont, was constantly complain
ing to the neighbors when her hus-
band was off carousing: Pete no come.
Pete was so persistent an offender
that the neighbors came to call him
Pete Nocome, or Newcome, and this
chung to him after he reformed. and
he was better known as Peter New
come than as Peter Mayville. So when
he returned, and as Peter Barry, was
given a pension of s72 month. there
was less comment than there would
have been under other circumstances.
Barry did not deny that he had
deserted from the Ninth Vermont. but
he made it clear that he deserted be-
cause, with fighting going on in front,
he could not bear the thought of idling
away his time at Camp Douglas. As
he could not be exchanged, and as he
could not get into fight as Peter
Mayville because Mayville was a
paroled prisoner, he took the bull by
the horns, and deserted into fight
ing regiment. The pension officials
conceded that Mayville's notions as to
oath and parole were little loose,
but there was no doubt about the sue
cess of his plan to get into a fight
l saw him only few years ago, a
wellpreserved, prosperous Vermont
farmer, an armless hero to a peo
pie, who didn't care under what name
he drew pension"

THE SERGEANT'S RETREAT.
Record-Breaking Run of a Union Sol
der Under a Rain of
Bullets.

l have been reading about the siege
of Port Hudson as viewed by con-
federate. and the reminder moves me
to call up some recollections of my
own, writes j. p. Lloyd, in the Ma
tional Tribune. | remember when the
first shell exploded over us-how my
feet felt like pulling my body out of
danger. How, just then, we were or
dered into line of battle and moved
up through the woods till we came
in sight of the enemys frightful big
guns and their savage infantry with
terrible rifles We were ordered to
retire then to the woods, where the
confederates shelled us for all they
were worth, cutting off great big
limbs from the trees, and the limbs
fell on u.s. We couldn't stand it
long, and were moved forward into
the open ground. There we lay down,
and they got a cross-fire on us and
let us have shells that exploded among
us and solid shot that tore up the
whole face of the landscape, and us

from which they could rake our line
from end to end, and they added grape
and canister to our dose, and it was
so hot there that we couldn't lie still,
and we got up without orders-and
we were just as ready to go forward
out of that storm, as to go back to
escape it. Gen. Dudley rode up and
said we were the regiment for him.
Well, we drove the rebs in and we
kept them there for 40 days.
do not doubt that some of our
boys will remember one day when
we were sent out as alleged sharp
shooters. We were TO change from
one hedge to another several rods near
er the enemy. We started too late, and
it was light when we reached the
first fence. l thought that we must
obey the order to get to the second
fence, light or dark, though the order
was to get there in the dark There
fore I said: Nov, boys, we have to
get over that open ground mighty
rapid, or there won't many. of us get

as l gave the order By the time |

fire was so heavy, and the bullets so
thick that l wanted cover the worst

of my comrades were dead or wound

| fiat behind small bunch of bushes,

but the bullets cut all of those bushes

a jack-in-the- box and retreated at a
speed that I'm sure has never been
beaten by civilized man afoot! Then
they scared me worse than ever, for
they opened their rifles on me again

that fort was repeater, and that the
entire confederate army was in that
fort, just then, every man with a rifle
and that every rife was fired at me

Rabbit Cannery In Kansas.

1t is said that rabbit cannery will
be established in Kansas City in the
near future. Rabbits are canned in
such manner that when put on the
market they are sold as chicken, lob

factory will be welcomed by farmers

would afford good market for the
sale of an animal that is now looked

Mr.. Bryan and the Senate.

Mr. Bryan. we are told. Is heading for
the Senate. He would be wise to change his
course. The Senate Is no place for him:
To be sure, there is no limit to debate in
that body. and no rule requiring a speaker
TO stick to his text. The man who likes to
talk and has the capacity to talk finds op-
portunity there for airing any or all of his
views. Nebraska man-Mr. Bryan's
friend Mr.. Allen. by the way-holds the
long distance record as a senatorial talker.
He held the floor for fourteen hours on one
occasion. But there are abundant opportuni-
ties to talk outside of the Senate, as Mr..
Bryan well knows, and that feature of the
case is probably not of controlling conse-
quence to him.
Mr.. Bryan. although elected by fusion
votes would enter the Senat> As, 4 demo-
crat. and be tethered as a partisan. He
would enter the party caucus. and he bound
by its decisions. He would find Mr.. Cor
man the democratic leader. and be obliged
IN many things to follow him. He would
have to go on record on all subjects brought
to a vote. Some of those subjects might
be shaped so as to embarrass him In his
future operations in his declared purpose to

Japan's Blunder at Chefoo.

A complete disavowal of the action of
her naval officers at ChefoO and the return
to that port of the Russian destroyer would
seem to be due from Japan If she wants to
uphold her reputation for fighting this war
in accord with the requirements of modern
international practice. All reports of the
fecting the rights of neutrals and of bel
hgerents while enjoying the temporary
shelter of neutral port. The Russian ship
had right to run to Chefoo and there
take her chance of being evicted in twenty
four hours or dismantled and rendered In
capable of taking part in the war. She
chose the latter alternative. and was in
fact, II is claimed, hors de combat and
therefore not legitimate prize of war
The Japanese assert that they were not
aware of the dismantlement. They should
have known Oft. There was time to ascer-
tain. not by a forcible boarding of the YES
sci. but by inspection under the auspices
of the officials of the port
The United States has stood for this
principle which Russia now invokes, hav-
ing at the outset of the present campaign
expressed itself emphatically on the sub
ject of restricting the theater OF the war.
1t Is therefore interested in securing If
possible from Japan a complete dsavowal
of the act at Chefoo. 1t is in an excellent
position to assume the initiative in any
negotiations that may be necessary to
strdighten out the tangle and to restore
the war to its proper basis. from which it

evil influence upon the people Of the United
States than do the Cinnamon.
A sufficient precedent for the exclusion
of a particular race or class or the resi-
dents of a particular region IS set by the
Chinese exclusion act. The government OF
Italy might object. but it's objections could
be met. with even better grace than in the
dealings with China, by the showing of the
police records. which trace many de-
testable crimes to the Sicitans and to
other Italians.
The immigration laws are framed for the
protection of the country. to exclude unde-
sirable persons from the soil and the priyf-
leges of citizenship. Even now a man is
held in detention in New York on a charge
of having been cOnvic, ed in England of a
crime involving moral turpitude. and his
deportation Is probable. How much more
necessary is 1t that men and women who
steal children. threaten murder and extort
blackmail from terrified victims should be
kept out. And In order to keep them out 1t
would be Justifiable, II necessary, to keep
out innocent persons well to make sure
of preventing the incoming Of the criminal
class
