1t is we'll known that people who are

signatures the familiar cross or X.
why this sign is used instead Of any
other is not generally known. In times
long gone by the early Christians used
to sign with the cross to distinguish

Justice J. A. Ballard yesterday after

Mrs Canady was being accompanied

A letter received from Mrs. Canady
today by her husband states that tho
car in which she was sitting went over
a ten-foot embankment and turned all

graph pole crashed through the side
of the car and smashed the seat from
which she had been thrown but .
second before into fragments. Mrs.
Canady was thrown violently against
the seat in front of where she was
sitting, her stomach striking the back
of the seat.
She states that they were compelled
to wait from 3 o'clock in the afternoon
till 9 o'clock in the evening before the
relief train arrived and took them to

There was a fierce struggle going
on all over the field. The French
were dying hard. Grafton ran along
the line to inform Monckton, the Sec
ond in command, of Wolfe's death.
He found that brigadier desperately
wounded, and then ran over to the
left flank to carry the news to Town
shend, the second brigadier.
Aided by heavy skirmishes in the
wood, and by the fact that Townshend
was compelled to refuse his lines, the
battle had been more fiereely contest
ed here than elsewhere. A squadron
Of cavalry. the only party of horse on
the field, which had been sent scout
ing by Bougainville, suddenly ap-
peared on the flank, and charged furi-
ously down upon Townshend's men.
They gave way. That general had
started for the center of the army
when Grafton told him the sad tidings,
and at his request the sailor hurried
to the extreme left flank,

forward to meet the cavalry. He

the third caught him by the collar.
"I'll take this one prisoner. Yield,

II don't lose this man, though" said
the soldier, stubbornly. "Will you
run, or be dragged?" he called to Graf
ton. Not waiting for reply, he
wheeled his horse, and, keeping tight
hold of Grafton, galloped off with the
rest
1t was not dignified position, but
there was nothing for him to do but
to strive to keep his feet as best he

trees growing in clumps here and
there they made their toilsome way
upward. Why the French did not dis
cover them has never been explained
Presently the sounds died away al
together. The silence was broken by
the sound of a musket-shot, followed
by another and another. A quick
fusillade rang out from the sky above
them. They were there, then! They
were engaged! What had been the
issue?
Concealment was no longer possible
or desirable. At a word from their
commander the men on shore sprang
at the barricades. The scene changed
from one of absolute quiet to intense
activity.
"Have they won, think your" asked
Grafton.
I'VE shall know in moment" an
swered Wolfe. "If they have lost,
somebody will come tumbling down
ths cliff to tell the tale. Meanwhile,
I am stalking all on the chance of their
success"
The little cove was now filled with
noise. Catching the contagion the
men began to spring from the boats
and fell N on the shore. The feel
ings OF the soldiers, depressed so long
through the night, found vent in
cheers and cries. Presently hail
came down from the cliff. 1t was
Howe's voice.
I'VE have the post!" he shouted.
1.-THE enemy has fled! The way is
open!"
Hold 1t at all hazards!" cried the
commander.
The cheering men fairly tore the
barricades to pieces and scrambled up
the path, Wolfe himself in the lead.
Capt. de Yergor, who commanded the
French guard, was incapable and a
coward. He had kept negligent watch.
Howe and his handful OF men had
surprised them. The fall Of New
France must be laid at the feet Of one
person; and. singularly enough. the
beginning of American independence
may be traced to the splendid exploit
Of the young soldier, who, as a gen
eral long after, at Long Island, White
Plains, Brandywine and Germantown
did his best to stop its course.

ALBA COUNCIL SUSTAINED.
Judge Roberts Settles Important Cues,
ton As to Power OF Cities.

Abba, Aug, 26.-Judse M. A. Roberts
rendered an important decision a few
days ago which affects Abba parties.
W. E. Giltner laid out and plated an
addition to the city of Abba and sub
mitted 1t to the council May 2, for
their acceptance and approval That
body by the advice Of the city attor-
ney, I. H. Tomlinson, refused to &C.
cept the addition as plated because
the blocks were not sub-divided by
alleys as is the custom In Abba. The
whole controversy hinged on the In.
depreciation of that part Of section
916 of the code of 1897. which requires
that the plat shall be divided by
streets into blocks, with alleys sepa-
rating AUDITING lots and that such
blocks, streets and alleys shall con.
form as nearly as practicable to the
size of blocks and the width of streets
and alleys in such city or town and
such street and alleys shall be extern,
sions of the existing system of streets
and alleys thereof"
After citing the above extract from
the code and ting on 1t at some
length the Judge holds that the legis-
lature in framing the above law In
tended that city council should have
the right to reject p1ats of additions
that did not conform to the blocks,
streets and alleys Of the city gener.
ally.
