lation of the open bitches to the san
itary condition of the city would be
ready.
The Doctor also reported that his
committee with the engineer had in
kestigated the terminus of the sewer,
and that the stencil which had been
complained of by citizens in that To-
cality did not come from the sewer,
but from the disintegration which al
ways takes place where water is al
lowed to stand over gyp formations.
The stencil while unpleasant to the
senses. was not unhealthfnl. The wa
ter which comes from the WOODEN mill
irresponsible for this condition
Alderman WHY'S reported that the
original map of the town showed an
alley through block of the original
town site. On the request of several
citizens the Council ordered this al
ley opened. This is the closed alley
in the Doctor Veal block.

man of the committee that had this
matter in charge. submitted the ma
iority report. This report proved
quite different from the recommends
tions made by Mr.. Ogle at the meet

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. Strain No.
II, the Missouri Pacific Flyer, crash
ed through a bridge over an arroyo
yer & Rio Grande railway about s
miles from Pueblo at o'clock last
night Dry creek which is one mile
north of Eden is fifty feed wide, thir-
teen feet deep and has steep banks.
The water was flowing over the tres
tie as the train started to cross. The
engine got almost over, but slipped
back. The baggage car, smoker. and
chair cars were plunged into the tor
rent and the engine fell on its right
side. The chair car was carried half
a mile down stream and the smoker
was not found. The diner and sleeper
did not go down. Dry creek empties
into Founain less than half a mile
below the wreck. There was no wa
ter in Dry creek two hours after the
accident The bodies OF two women
and girl probably ten years old,
which were the first to be recover
ed were found half mile below the
wreck
These two were among the occu-
pants of the chair car. The bodies
when found were covered with mud
and have not been identified. Chief
of Police Shoube of Pueblo, and 25
police are on the ground with 200
people assisting in the search for
bodies 1t is thought that 125 lives
were lost Undertaken Collier is at
the scene and the bodies are being
pAlced in boxes and brought to this
city. The body of the engineer was

pie on the Inflated train, and only
about two dozen survivors have been
accounted for. With the breaking of
day the full horror of the scene which
was concealed to a, great degree by
the mantle of night became apparent.
Wreckage was visible in all directions
and dead bodies viscible here and
there in piles OF debris from cars,
driftwood and mud. Many bodies
were carried down Fountain creek
by a wall .of water which had force
enough to carry several coaches near

st. Petersburg. Aug. Sin spite Of
the excitement shown by a section OF
the German press. the German gov
ernment is acting calmly in the mat
ter of the sinking of the steamer
Thea. as il did in the matter of the
seizure of the mail steamer Prinz
Heinrich. and is seemingly convinced
that if any wrong has been done il
will be righted. Germany has thus
far conteRed herself by asking for
an explanation OF the sinking OF the
ship, but in the absence OF result in
the official inquiry by the prize court
at Vladlvostock. Russia Is not yet
able to reply. The German consul at
Vladivostock confirms the statement
that the Thea had only $50 tons OF
coal on board. not enough TO get her
to VladivOstock. He says she was
loaded with fish and fish manure. The
captain of the vessel was given
twenty minutes in which To abandon
his ship, and the crew lost all their
possessions.

A VETERANS EXPERIENCE.
EDITOR CITIZEN:


If you will allow me small space
in your valuable columns will en-
deavor to let old Confeds know some
OF my travels from July 18th, 1868,
to July, 1865.
On July 12th, VIM. H. Wilson, of
Georgia; Lawton, of South Carolina;
Jacobs, of Alabama; Novascotia, y
Of Louisiana; Bullard, of North
Carolina, and Woodward, of Virginia
were detailed as rear guard at Hagers-
town and ordered to remain there as
guard until receiving further orders
On the morning of July 14th we
were ordered to Williamsport, on the
Potomac river, but never reached
that place as we were captured by the
Ringgold Cavalry from Ohio. This
cavalry sent us to Gen. Kelley's
headquarters at Fairview, Md. The
General ordered us put in an ole
schoolhouse, with four guards placed
over us. The rest of the company
marched ahead. On night of the
18th we decided to capture the guards
placed over us. We carried out oui
plan and overpowered the guards al
midnight. Fearing they might re.
port us, we threatened to kill them,
but finally nailed them up in the

schoolhouse. We soon found the
Potomac, but could not find shallow
water, so five of us swan across tn,
river, leaving "Novascotia" on the
Maryland side. We five made the
Virginia shore about one hour before
daybreak. We were afraid to travel
during the day, so hid in rsyine
until night. "Novascotis" found
shallow water, crossed over and
found us in the ravine before night
As soon as darkness set in, we
marched out towards the south.
After travelling three nights in
the woods we conclud, d we were ou,
of the range of the enemy, soon the
morning of July 10Th, 1868, we
marched out into the main road.
About 10 o'clock we were fred on by
one of KilideviPs squadrons Of Union
men, which wounded three of our
men. We returned fire, but saw they
out-numbered US at least ten to one
and had to surrender. They took
US to Cumberland, Md, where we
were charged with being spies, and
were sent to camp Chase, Ohio, for
trial. Arriving there on July 9th,
Col. Webber, COMMANDMENTS. charge
of the prison, ordered our trial for
August 5th, but by some means il
was put off until August 10th. All
this time We were handcuffed and
balled aud chained to a sleeper of
the floor. On Goth of August we
were tried and condemned to be shot
on September 29th, 1868. Crhe ac-
cusation was because Of our having
on two suits of clothes-one or blue
one of gray).
The next morning told the boys
l didn't want to die like that.
SWELL" says Bullard, "neither do /,
but how can we help it?" When the
officer came around l asked him to
request Col. Webber to please al
low me few minutes interview. So
the next day Col. Webber came to us
and l asked him to write to Gen.
Kelley and the Ringgold Cavalry and
find out if we were not prisoners of
war. On the 2Sth about o'clock p.
In. Col. Webber, two other officers
and six priyates entered the prison.
We thought our time had surely
come, but, thank God, it was to set
us free. hope the reader will realize
how happy we were for / cannot
begin to tell about it.

DAVID A. HAY
A WISE BUSINESS DEAL,

hr. James Brinkley q prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime Of life, and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
of certain precautions In business matters
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men, and particularly
men in the business OF farming, have plans I'm
hand at all times that others cannot take up
on the instant and mature successfully. They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved, as well as TO continue operations
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed TO tide him over emergencies; but
his estate to do such n thing is entirely a T.
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active business
and seldom had large balance In bank. He
kept his money at work. As q consequence,
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulities and as prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out policy of life insurance I'm
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix in payment OF this
policy was. as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount to his family In tho
protection which it afforded its various
interests.
Upon receipt of request we will send PAM
phlet describing Phoenix policies.

since the marriage of Mrs. Ella Cof-
fey Lucas.
All the money necessary ($3OO) is
not in hand for the furnishing of
Rappahannock room in Virginia
school. This is still the district
special" Nor can we afford to for
get to support little Emma Cheatham
or our faithful teacher there. We
wish to express our sincere apprecia-
ton for the support of the pastors in
the district in the work we are trying
to do. In many societies the successes
are largely due to the loyal preachers
IN charge. We earnestly beg their
continued support aud sympathy,
which we so much need.
May l now appeal to the ladies of
the district and of every church?
What are we going to do with the
year just entered upon? Looking at
the work broadly and thoughtfully
we are confident that a great and
glorious future lies before it, if we
are stroug enough in our convictions
and earnest enough in our efforts to
seize and improve the opportunities.
We cannot afford to wait. The har-
vest is ripe everywhere.
Let us each be more faithful in
the discharge of our duties as Chris
tians. Let us be prompt-especially
officers-and all try to increase the
membership.
Truly the discouragements come.
We are familiar with the careless
member and fatally Indifferent officer.
The winter weather may cause ir-
regular meetings, but plan, read and
pray, and good results will surely
follow.
Sometimes opposition and Difficult
ties in Gods appointed work may
seem to us mountain high, aud i'm
penetrable as stone, and we say as the
holy women on the resurrection morn
"Who shall roll us away the stoue?"
but as We too press forward in faith
"Behold the stone is rolled away"

SOME CROP RETURNS.

The corn yield throughout East
ern Virginia is undoubtedly the
heaviest in years. The only draw
back to the farmers has been the
scarcity of labor. Soja-beans and
cow peas come in the nick of time;
the farmers of Eastern Virginia, no
longer altogether dependant upon
blade fodder for "lond feed," is copy
ing the advanced ideas of the Valley
and cutting down the corn. To pull
it now is s'almost worth the fodder.
Fertilizers have been bought more
abundantly than usual, indicating
more prosperous times on the farm.
The season for tomato factories
has been very poor one. In some
sections the tomato crop was almost
an entire failure, and the factories
could only be run for a few days in a
week. AS most of our packers lost
heavily by the Baltimore fire last
spring it is more than probable that
reduced number of factories will
be run another year.

PETERSBURG HAS GALA DAY,

The official Inauguration of the
great work of diverting the flood
waters of the Appomattox river two
miles and a half around the city
through new channel was celebrated
recently at the Petersburg Academy
of Music in the presence of con-
course of people that packed the
building from pit to dome. They
gathered in great throng and made
the house resound with oft-repeated
cheers and applause. Every speaker
was accorded great welcome, and
Senator Martin, through whose efforts
mainly a hundred and fifty thousand
dollar appropriation had been pro-
cured, received an ovation.
Rev. DR.. w. G. Starr offered a
beautiful and appropriate prayer,
and the opening address was then
delivered by Mr.. r. B. Davis. Mr..
Alexander Hamilton spoke in high
est praise of the men who had labored
long and we'll for the success of this
work, and, in eloquent terms, &C.
corded honor to whom honor is due.
When Senator Martin came to the
front, and was introduced by Mr..
Beckwith as "Virginian of Virgin
iaus," the audience cheered and ap-
plauded for several minutes. The
Senator expressed his great pleasure
in being present at the celebration of
an event, in.which it made him proud
to feel that he had taken any part,
and acknowledged in most appro-
pirate words his gratitude for the
honor accorded to him by the preced-
ing speakers.
Senator Martin awarded high praise
to the committees of Petersburg men
who had appeared before committees
of the House and Senate in behalf of
the diversion plan, and said that he
took to himself no more credit for
his part in obtaining the appropria-
ton for the work than would be due
to any representative of the people
who did his duty.
Senator Martin concluded his
speech with high tribute to the
courage and patriotism of Southern
men and a graceful acknowledgment
of his cordial reception.

You can not expect anybody to
take charge of your political business
for you and conduct it satisfactorily
any more than you can expect that
other business will be managed for
you as satisfactorily as you would
for yourself. If the good citizen re-
fuses or fails to do his proper share
of political work the bad citizen will
rule ard there is no use looking for
anything else. You can not expect

LOW TIDE.

The sea came wooing in mad male fashion;
The strand like maiden was shy as
fair.
he fell at her feet with a cry of passion,
And flung out his arms to clasp her
there.
He swore to be true; the bright stars
giistened,
And the wind went dallying off with
the ships,
While the strand, like maiden, leaned
and listened
And the seas wild kisses fell on her
lips.
But desolate now in the moonlighps
glory
Is lying the pale, deserted strand,
While the sea is telling the same old story
To another shore. in another lsud.
Ella Wheeler RiicOz, in Junior Nunsey
