GEN. LEES ARMCHAIR.
Used by Confederate Chieftain in All
His Campaigns)

(Used by Confederate Chieftain in All
His Campaigns)
Patterson, of Delaware, o., and a half
brother of Barnes. Patterson made
the special request of Grant that he be
allowed to keep the Bob Lee rock
er," as it was called in the confederate
army. The request was granted. and
the relic was shipped to the orderly's
mother, Mrs. Belinda Patterson, at
Delaware, who retained it until rs
years ago, when she gave it to Barnes.
The chair is great massive piece
of furniture. 1t is built of gum and
has a cane seat and cane back. It is
immensely heavy and cumbersome,
but withal is comfortable and restful
When it was captured it was in the
natural wood, but few years ago the
veterans young daughter Etha, de-
cided that it was neither pretty nor
ornamental. and taking 1t ont in the
backyard painted 1t a bright red and
put q coat of gilt on the head piece.
Miss Etha had an unpleasant half
hour when her father learned of what
she had done.
Prior to that Mr.. Barnes himself re-
moved the great branching rockers
and they now ,repose on pile of rub
bish in his cellar. - "a
Seventeen years ago, when the Ma
tiona1 encampment of the Grand Army
Of. the Republic met at Columbus, O.,
Mr.. Barnes, who was then a member
of Reno Post, No. 279, Williamsport,
Pa, allowed the post to take the old
relic to the great gathering.
There it was an object of the deep
est veneration to the veterans who
once hated Lee. 1t was surrounded by
a great crowd all the time, and the old
fellows considered 1t an honor and a
privilege to sit in it.
Mr.. Barnes has another relic which
he prizes highly. 1t is sleeve button
that he took from the dead body of the
confederate Gen. Zollikofer, after that
odlcer had been shot to death BY his
West Point friend, Gen. Richard Frey,
Of the union army. T.
It is q cheap, gold-plated affair, and
on it is enameled the head Of a dragon.
1.-THE death Of Gen. rZollikofer. was
very dramatic said Barnes. ''1t was
at the battle of Mill Springs. KY, and
Zollikofer and Frey came face to face
in the hest: Of the; fight The confed-
crate leader smiled pleasantly at his
former West Point comrade, and called
out: How are You, Dick? e.
I" Surrender said, Frey IN reply,
and instantly the two men drew their
revolvers. Zollikofer wore q long rain
coat and this got in his way. 80 Frey
had the draw on him first and shot
him through the breast killing him

Chas Weigle are leading spirits, who
will soon begin the manufacture OF the

have been made in blast furnaces with
clays of several of the eastern states
and these have been found superior to

reflection of how impossible 1t is for any section of our country to be en- tirely independent of the remainder If the people of the State of New Jer- sey are inclined to boast that decisive battles were fought on her soil they will find the people of New Hampshire are making known the fact that they had their troops there. too.
 If our Western States, glorying in the pride of their sudden growth and commercial achievement, are inclined to hint that there is decreptitude in New Hampshire and old New England they will find from the genealogical annals that in laying the foundation of the present splendid status of the West New Hampshire and New England men were pioneers.
 T hope, for the sake of that unity so absolutely essential to national eff fort, upon which our welfare depends, that the day will never come when any section of our country or any number of our people will say that they owe nothing to any other section of our country.
 Tt only remains for me to thank you for the courtesy extended to me on this happy occasion and to assure you that this gathering will be remembered by me as among the most pleasing and delightful incidents of my sojourn ir New Hampshire.

 number about 1000 and in summer
 nearly twice as many, yesterday ten dered their distinguished sumTaer
 townsman, exPresident Grover Cicve- | land, and Mrs. Cleveland an informal reception and dinner. There were also present State officials and representa- | tive men who extended the States wid CT greetings to the notable citizen of | Princeton.
 The natives of Sandwich entered heartily into the spirit of the day and were more than repaid by the unosten- tatious and appreciative manner in which the chief guests of the day man. | ifested their enjoyment of it. It was
 the expressed desire of ex-President | Cleveland that the gathering should be confined mainly to the people of Sandwich. As result. almost every
 son and every daughter of the town
 took occasion to manifest his or her depreciation of this wish by partici-
 pating.
 | Decorations were general. The special guests. aside from Mir. and
 Mrs. Cleveland. went in special cars | from this city, and the party was made
 up of Governor and Mrs. Bachelder i and a number of their intimate friends. This party arrived at Sandwich at II o'clock in the morning and a Cover nors salute was fired upon its arrival At 11:30 o'clock a company of nearly | 2.OOO had assembled. waiting for the

Shreveport. La. Aug 16-It was not bad luck that gave Shreveport the victory over the Pretzels today. Rather was It hard hitting at opportune times, assisted very materially by the rag ged fielding exhibition put up bv the visitors. It Is certain that at least two Of Shreveportfs runs were made as the result of errors. Two more were due to bases on balls, so that the Pirates with all their hard hitting were not entitled to more than two runs. Shreyeport's score in the fifth inning was rather remarkable in one respect; in this innjng nine men faced. Brant, five of them laced out safties. two being for two bags and two of them reanhed first an bases on balls ana yet only four runs resulted and only one man caught on base. The result was due to, bad coaching

Both runners advanced on a sacrifice. base on balls filled the bases and Busch:s error of Graffiu' s Eronnder let in two runs.
