and Newton left on an crrand to the
upper country. They followed close
after the prisoners, watching TO strike
blow, but this seemed impossible,
as there were only two Of them TO ten
Of the others. About two miles from
Savannah they came to spring call
ed Spa: here they stopped for water.
The corporal with his guard Of four
men, conducted the prisoners to the
spring, while the sergeant, with his
other four, having grounded their
arm. near the road, brought up the
rear. Inc prisoners were permitted
to rcat. Two Of the corporals men
were ordered to keep guard, and the
other two to give the prisoners water.
These last approached the spring,
where Jasper and Newton lay con
cealed, and resting their muskets
against pine tree, dipped up water,
and having drank themselves, turned
away to give the prisoners water.
Now, Newton, is our time!" said
Jasper. Then, bursting like two lions
from their concealment, they snatch
ed up the two muskets that were rest
ed against the pine, and instantly shot
down the two soldiers. The sergeant
and corporal about this time recovered
from their momentary panic, and scz-
ed the muskets. Before they could
use them the Americans knocked them
down with the guns. Snatching up
the guns, they few between the enemy
and ordered them to surrender, which
they instantly did. Having called
the prisoners to them they quickly,
with the point Of their bayonets,
broke off their handouts and gave
each of them musket Then in
stantly, for cva7 of being overtaken,
they snatched the arms and regimen
tails OF the slain, and recrossed the
Savannah and re;oincd our army at

Three years after the battle of Fort
Moultrie tho flags that Mrs. Elliott
presented TO tie Second regiment were
planted on the British lines at Sa-
vannah. Lieutenant Hume in the act
of planting one was also shot down.
The brave Jasper, on seeing Hume
fall, took up the flag and planted it.
In doing so he received n mortal
wound, but, the retreat being ordered !,
he was still able to bear the colors off
with him.
The ball that struck Jasper opened
blood vessel in the lungs, and he
bled to death.

An Easter Hat.

Daniel j. Sully, on the day Of his
admission to the Chicago board Of
trade, lunched at the Chicago club.
He wore new derby hat, for he had
been pretty severely mauled by the
brokers, and his old hat had been al
together ruined.
"You are not wearing the same hat
you had on this morning, sir,' re-
porter said to lMr. sullS, with emile.
''No," the broker admitted, and he
went on:
''Now I'll tell you an appropriate
and timely story-a story about hat
and about Easter.
''Two women shook hands warmly
after church on an Easter Sunday
morning, and while they conversed
they examined each others apparel
with their bright eyes.

"'Oh, do you think so2" said the
other. 8..
...Yes, indeed. II looks almost as

GaTHey's Tin Deposit.

Of the recent discovery of tin near
Gatfney an expert mineralogist who
was there recentlyis reported as saying:
1T is the biggest thing that has hap
pcncd in the South since the civil war.
1t is more important than the oil
fields Of Texas" The ore is being
mined on the land Of farmer one mile
from Gaffney. He recently sent q
carload of 20 tons to New York and
received large sum for it. The ore
was shipped to Cornwall, England, to
be smelted. The orc at 'Gaffney is
said 10 be the richest in the world.
1t is cassiterite, ~ per cent pure. A
syndicate is taking options on all
land between Gaffney and King 8
Mountain. There has been no dis
covery Of tin in the United States ex-
cept in the Black Hills, S. d., and
very little is found there. The owner
Of the Gaffncy mines has refused
100000 for a fractional interest
The ore that is obtained from the
! niue at Gaffncy is The only ore of tin
that is Of any importance-vizd dioxide
or stannic oxide, which is called tin
stone, or cassitcrite, and in its pure
state consists of Gin 7S and oxygen %.
Its specific gravity Is q notable feature
g 9; and it strikes fire with steel.
One man who has seen the mine de-
scribes the ore as dark, grayish sub
stance, not unlike metallic iron ore in
appearance. The two principal rea-
| sous why there are not tin smcltcrs in
the United States are-frst there is
| very little Of the cassitcrite ore found !;
none at all, except in Dakota; second
the process of smelling is a difficult
| and delicate one, requiring specially
constructed and expensive machinery.
The government at Washington has
taken cognizance Of tais fnd, and
some days ago sent an expert to Gaff-
ney to examine it. His report has
already been filed. A great many
other expert miners have visited the
place, aud the owner, it is said, is
daily besieged with offers from pro-
spective purchasers; while the neigh
boring farmers are kept in a state of
keen interest by propositions from
persons who wish to enter into various
contracts with them, Offering to take
options and regular mining leases. It
is putting it mildly to say that the
Gaffney people are excited over the
situation.-Y orkVillc Enquirer.

A Story OF Fitz Lee.

We find the following in an ex-
change:
"The late Gen. John B. Gordon
and Gov. Gambler, Of Georgia, were
together in hotel in Atlanta once
when Gov. Gambler asked the general
if lie had ever known of witty darky,
Yes, said the general, 'one.' When
Gen. Robert Il. Lee was fighting

quests to see "the gin'ral." He was
turned away dozen times. But one

by Gen. Lee, who called out: "Let
that man come inl' Then into the
tent came the fellow, rayboned,
shambling, gray headed, gnarled old
darkey, who scraped the ground with
his foot and kept turning his hat
around nervously in his hand.
Well, where do you belong?"
demanded Gen. Lee.
"' II b'longs to y'r company, GIN

"'''No you DON'T" declared the
general, sharply. Everybody il MY

that you haven't been?"
The darkey scratched his head.

confidential whisper. "Well. you

Gordon has been correctly quoted. II
he has been, he has gotten old Gen.
Lee mixed up with Fitz Lee.
The story as it has been always told
in Virginia is as follows. When Fitx
Lee was making his canvass for gov
ernor, and when upon platform at Q
public meeting in one of the counties
near Lynchburg, he was told that an
old colored man wished to come up
and shake hands with him. He said:
"All right; let him oome," and the
old darkey was soon afterwards
brought forward and introduced to
him.
Old Uncle Ben, for that was his
name, eaid to Fitz Lee that he had
been in the Confederate army from
first to last, with his (Ben's) young
master. The general asked him to
what command his master belonged.

Hearst Oilers TO Buy II.

Boston March 25.-"Nominate
Hearst, defy the trusts and 81 800
o0O will be furnished by Sir. Hearst
and his friends for the Democratic
National Committee"
This is the standing oFcr that
Hearst campaign managers are dang
ling before the eyes of the national
committeeman in this and other States,
and using with powerful effect among
political leaders of the East. The
Hearst boouers are working hard in
the Bay State, but their nomination
papers filed here today from the Bos-
ton district have failed to ill out as
they hoped. Hearst boomers have
started to work this week in the
Southern States, and the results of
their efforts will be known within the
next ten days.
William j. Bryan is coming out
boldly for the Hearst boom at an
early date, both editorially in his
weekly Commoner and in his speech
es. His announcement is likely to
give the Hearst boom an impetus that
will make trouble for the conserva-
tives at the time the conven-
tion meets. The argument that is
telling most among the labor element
is that Hearst is the only candidate
who is fighting the trusts fearlessly,
and who will use all the powers to dis
rupt them If he were elected.

"Since 1880, when we abandoned the
plan of selecting the district delegates,
the state convention has not, and, in

GREAT LEGAL BATTLE
Being Waged in st. Paul Over
Northern Securities.

st. Paul, Mimi, April ia great
legal battle between corporation law
yers, whose names are familiar from
one side of the United States to the
other, and who represent two of the
wealthiest corporations in the United
States, is being waged in the United
States District Court before Judges
Sanbornt Van DeVanter, Hook and
Thayer. This action is based on a
motion presented to the court by E.
H. Hartman ct al, for leave to file
an intervening petition for the pur-
pose of showing why the Northern
Securities Company officials should not
carry out a plan of distribution of the
assets of the Northern Securities Com
pany in manner alleged to be mimi
cal to the interests of Hartman and
Pierce.
The United States government is
represented by District Attorney c. c.
Houpt, who to-day presented an OBJ
lection to the intervention under the
direction of United States Attorney
General Knox. This Intervention was
something of a surprise to the petit
TONERS, who were not aware of it I'M
til after Mr.. Evarts had opened the
case of the first plaintiffs and Judge
Sanborn asked him if he was aware
that the United States government OBJ
jected to the intervening petition. The
court then directed Mr.. Houpt to read
the objection of Mr.. Knox, which
says:
THE United States neither admits
nor denies the allegations of the pc
tition, but objects to the proposed in
tervention.
1.-THE United States stands on the
DEGREES affirmed and submits that the
court is only concerned to see that
it is faithfully observed by the de-
PENDANTS according to its terms"
Maxwell Evarts, in his statement
for the defendant, contended that the
Securities Company, in it's fianal dis
tribution of the assets, intended to
take a course which would continue
the common control of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Railroads
to the detriment of the PLAINTIFF, and
in continued violation of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Elihu Root contended that there was
no warrant in general rules of prac-
tice, in the rules of the courts nor
in the statutes for this intervention.
He said the decree of this court was
limited to the simple command, Thou
shalt not" and nothing was expected
but absolute obedience. Judge LoVett
for the plaintiff said the decree of the
court had determined that no title
to the stock ever passed to the North
ern Securities Company because that
company was not legally capable of
holding such title. The decree further
had the effect of giving the court prac-
teal custody of the stock of the North
ern Securities Company. The plan
proposed by the company would per-
petuate the common control of the
two roads and was, therefore, accord
ing to the petitioners contention, il
legal.
When Mr.. Lovett concluded, former
Congressman J. Hamilton Lewis of
Chicago appeared for the Continental
Trust Company of New Jersey, and
objected to the petition being granted,
because the court had no jurisdiction.
The court adjourned the case until
tomorrow, when further argument
will be heard.
