Son After Iona Search.

Son After Long Search.
Few of those who witnessed the
opening session of the United States
last fall" said judge, recalled the
fact that Justice Holmes once served
his country on the field, even as hi
does now in her highest tribunal. So
in all probability, none of them re
allied that the dignified Judge seated
furthest az the right of the chief jus
tice was the my Captain Of Oliver
Wendell Holmes the First, the hero Of
that delightful sketch by the essayist
poet, which he called In Search of the
Captain Yet it was true story
Of the paternal quest for the son re-
ported seriously wounded at Ante
tam. Numerous distressing circum-
stances united to throw the anxious
father OF the track again and again,
but at length the search eliminated
happily in railroad train. This il
what DR.. Holmes wrote Of it.
I'm the first car. on the fourth seat
to the right, saw my Captain. There
saw I him, even my first born, whom
had sought through many cities.
How are you, boy
How are you, dad?

FIRST HUMBLE FIRE.
Deputy Sheriff Believes 40 or so Peo
pie Lost Their Lives.

Houston, Texas: 1t has been whis-
pered around for several days that
some rather ugly facts in connection
with the big oil fire, the first one, that
destroyed the twelve big tanks of the
Texas Company, holding quarter mil
lion barrels each, have never yet been
printed. The one that attracting most
attention relates to the number of
lives lost and what might have had
something to do with the large NOR
tally. Mr.. J. G.. Blackburn, who has
been a deputy sheriff there for some
time. was asked if the exact number
of people who were cremated there
had ever been determined He replied
that it had not exactly been fixed
upon, but that a great many letters
of inquiry had been received from
persons in this city and other parts
Of Texas, asking about men who were
out there and had not been seen since
with the facts known about the fight
against the fire, made him believe
that between forty and fifty persons
were burned to death. The fact that
only eight or ten heaps of ashes were
acce opted as those of human beings
did not cover or make complete the
case, because there were many COM
pletely consumed, not even a bone be-
ing left. When asked how it happened
that so many were unable to escape he
said: You know there were only
two gates in the wire fence through
which men and teams could escape,
and that guards had been placed at
the gates with Winchesters, and in
structed not to allow the men to come
out until the situation was hopeless"
He stated his understanding was that
these instructions were followed,
which largely accounts for the heavy
loss of life at the fire.

Archbishop ChapeIIe of The Catholic
Church Dies

New Orleans, Aug. 10.-A sudden
change in his condition yesterday

Archbishop Chapelle. The end came

profound shock
Mgr. Chapelle was taken i'll on Fri.

three days before, having just com.
pleted a tour of Louisiana and an
nounced on his arrival his intention of
cooperating in the efforts then in full
force to stamp out the fever. He left
his home only on one occasion, how
ever, before he was taken sick That
was to take drive with his niece On
Friday ne complained of the symptoms
which are the forerunner of yellow fe-
Yer. DR.. Larue, the archbishops ply
stefan, was Immediately called in On
Friday he diagnosed the case as q
genuine attack of yellow fever
From the first Dr. Larue was appre-
hensive of the results of the attack,
owing to the physique Of his patient.
Archbishop Chapelle was very stout Of
build, full blooded, and past 60 years
of age, and the fever is always alarm
ing in a patient under these conditions.
The best available medical and best
nursing talent was pressed into ser
vice. the apartments were screened
and every effort made to conduct a sue
cessful fight The disease however,
made steady inroads upon the ven
found to be in serious condition
which ended in death.
