Tnr nv,ru Of General John B. Cor

THE DEATH of General John b. Cor
don. which occurred at Miami, Fla'' Oh
Saturday still further depletes the galaS!
of brave and able military commanders
who made the war between the States
memorable and which brought out
latent genius the world would never
have heard of had it not been for that
struggle. General Gordon was iumi-
nary of the first magnitude, and bis
death leaves a notable gap in constel-
lation which has been gradually waning
for some time. General Gordon had
since the close of hostilities been as
familiar figure as he was when wear
ing the gray, aad his demise will be re-
GREETED not only in the South, where ne
was justly appreciated, but throughout
other parts of the country where he was
honored and respected. Most readers OF
Southern literature are acquainted with
the history of General Gordon. In an
official report Gen. D. II. Hill character
lied General Gordon as the "Chevalier
Bayard of the Confederate Army a
synopsis OF his life and war record else
where in the Gazette perpetuates MS
memory. After the war ne served the
State of Georgia as Governor and United
States Senator He had been Com
msnder-in- Chief of the United Conied-
crate Veterans since its organization,
and the memorable occasion at Nashville
in 1897, when he attempted to resign MS
position, but was unanimously and enthu-
siasticalIy reelected, testified to the
warmth of affection in which he was held
by the South.

Saved from Lynchers.

New Orleans, Jau. by the timely
arrival Of Marshal Pecot, Tom Smith, a
negro butcher, was saved from burning
last night by mob Of nearly one hun
dred white men, who had the negro
stripped and bound to stake, to deal
out punishment with the torch. Thurs
day night Smith made an assault on
Walter Fisher, Appointment young white
man of Franklin, and beat him with a
cowhide so badly that physicians have
entertained grave fears for Fishers re-
covery. The trouble originated with a re-
mark made by Mr.. Fisher to the negro,
who was trying to drag offa dead animal
With a horse too weak for the purpose.
At o clock last night mob captured
the negro near Franklin and proceeded
quietly with their work. Every shred Of
clothing was removed from the man and
he was bound hand and foot to a stake.
Marshal Pecot FASTENED to the scene
and after considerable effort secured pos
session of the negro. He was hurried
to the parish prison.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and Secre-
tary Boot emphasized their action in re-
firing Lieutenant General Miles last Au-
gust without word of praise by praislng
Lieutenant General Young upon his re-
tirement on Saturday in general order
which was evidently meant not only 10
honor Young but to reflect on Miles.
This order was prepared by Secretary
Root himself, with the personal approval
of President Roosevelt, and not only
reviews General Young's military history
and services in complimentary terms,
but dwells significantly upon the quail
ties and especially the "unselfsh loyalty
to his commander-in-chief and the
army" as we'll as to the country, which,
the President and the Secretary of War
think, distinguish him from General
Miles. General Miles retirement was
practically ignored by the Administra-
ton. The order of Secretary Lamont
against complimentary general orders
upon the retirement of general officers,
cited as a reason for this action, has now
been set aside and will not be revived
again. Thus the utter insincerity of the
administration-its disregard for ordi-
nary veracity-is shown by the order
retiring General Young. Not even com
mon official courtesy was shown in the
language of the Miles order, and with
cynical disregard for its own statement
last summer, the administration sends
General Young into retirement with
cordial tribute to his distinguished
career.

Machen's Trial.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 11.--Augusl
w. Machen, who has been styled "Ihe
Prince of Grafters," was put on trial in
the Criminal Court of the District OF
Colombia this morning with his code
PENDANTS on the charge of conspiracy to
defraud the government in connection
with the sale of patent letter box fasten-
ers to the Postoffice Department, in
which at the time Machen held the posi-
ton of Superintendent of Free Delivery.
Charles A. and f. S. Douglas, will de-
fend Machen. The alleged cOnspirators
in this, the most important Of the post
Office fraud cases that have yet been
brought to trial, and the first in this city,
are Samuel A.. Croft, a former Washing
ton policeman who invented the fastener,
his brother, Diller B. Croft George E.
Lorenzo, postmaster of Toledo from 1886
to 1890, in whose Office Machen first en-
tered the postal service, nd the former
wife, Martha J. Lorenz. The Grofis
are represented by Attorney Samuel
Maddox and the Lorenzes by John
Kumler, of Toledo, o., and Leckie
and Fulton, of this city.
The governments case will be handled
BY Holmes Conrad, special counsel, as
sisted by District Attorney Beach and
the latter's assistants, II. L. Taggart
and G. A. r. Keigwin. They will
probably be reinforced later in the trial
by the eminent Baltimore lawyer, Charles
T. Bonaparte. who was associated with
Mr.. Conrad in the special investigation.
The Judge is Justice j. G. Pritchard,
former senator from North Carolina.
The case is regarded by the government
as the strongest of the fourteen that have
been brought against Machen. 1t is
based on the conspiracy statute, section
$40. The case, it is thought, will oc-
cupy several weeks. Perry S. Heath
did not respond when his name was
called as witness. Formal demurrers
to the indictments were by arrangement
pronounced overruled BY Judge Prit-
chard, after which Machen and the
other defendants re-entered their pleas
of not guilty. District Attorney Beach
introduced to the court Assistant Attor-
ney General NJ. d. Purdy, as an asso-
ciate attorney in the prosecution. The
usual sparring between counsel incident
to the preliminaries OF a trial then fol-
lowed.
Judge Pritchard, after hearing a pro-
tracted discussion of the statute, ruled
that the defendants be considered as one
party entitled to but 10 challenges. AT
this juncture telegram was received
from Perry S. Heath saying that he
would be in the city at o'clock this
afternoon. The examination for tales
man for the jury was then begun. AT
noOn the panel of 26 had been exhaust
ed, with IL men in the box who were
yet to be subjected to challenge by the
defense. The trial was thereupon adj
journed until tomorrow when a fresh
panel will be presented.

Colombia is passing Through crisis in

NEARLY five hundred years have
elapsed since Joan of Arc, after a short
career. was burned at the stake. Ami
mated doubtless by love of country as
we'll as desire to satisfy a masculine
instinct, she managed by certain repre-
sensations that she knew to be potent in
her day and generation, to have herself
placed at the head of the French army
with the avowed purpose of driving the
English from the land of her birth.
Her career was meteoric and was soon
spent. She fell into the hands of her
foes and paid for the notoriety she had
attained by being burned at the stake
aud having her ashes scattered to the
four winds of heaven. None can read
the career of the Maid of Orleans with
out expressions of sympathy, although
she put on mans boots and was made
responsible for man. deeds. The his
tory of Joan, told as it, has been in
the ages which have followed, has even
caused Englishmen to regret that the
war led to the cruel stake. Nearly FIVE
centuries have elapsed since Joan OF
Arc hourished, and it has remained for
the present age to vindicate the enthusi-
astic country girl; hence her beatif-
cation last week. Her heroic statue in
Paris, always viewed with interest by
visitors, will attract still more attention
now that the original is about to re-
ceive hOnors denied her in another age.
