Chicago, Jan. 17.-Despite the uniteo
efforts of the greater portion Of the
fire department Of Chicago, the fire
which broke out Sunday night In the
beef storage department OF Schwarz-
sc;ild e. Sulzbcrger packing plant at
the stockyards Is still burning. During
Monday, 33 fircmen and helpers were
overcome by smoke, heat and am
monia gas. All OF the men were res
cued, however, and o N will die from
the effects Of the gas. The loss to the
packing company on the building and
beef stores In the place, which has
been damaged by smoke, is estimated
at $G00,0 900.
Chief Fire Marshal Campion de-
clarcd that the fire was the worst he
has ever tried to subdue, because OF
tho difficulty in finding the blaze.
At midnight, 80 hours after the fire
had been discovered, the iircmen
caught the first glimpse Of the flames
that they had been fighting so long.
The fire. as yet being beyond control,
filled the interior Of the structure and
the adjoining building, a large re-
iincry, separated by "A supposedly fire.
proof wall. is in immediate danger. As
soon as the flames were discovered,
extra engines were hurried to the
scene, as it was feared that the fire
might get beyond the control of the

Smoke has penetrated the lard re-
inery, and II Is feared the flames will
soon follow.

Only those who lie in the firing line
and near the constant screech of the
shells as they cleave their terrible way
through the air above know the true
sounds Of modern war. The whiplike
smack of the bursting shell, the swish
Of the scattering bullets, are nothing to
the hooking screech of these fearful
messengers of death as they pursue
each other, as if in competition to COM
plete the awful object of their hideous
mission. The whole welkin is discord-
ant with their tumult. You feel the
rush of misplaced air, Splinters sing in
your ears, the earth is in constant trem-
bic with the violence of the discharge;
you feel it pulsate against your cheek

touched yours day and night for forty

fully to his superior The river bank
being lined with swamps, it was mid
night of the 21st before COX's couriers
reached his headquarters with fresh
directions from SchOtield. The chief
approved COX's action, although lie had
sent repeated orders to him to recross
the river and support Terry in an at
tack on HOke. These orders had been
the more urgent the afternoon of the
DIST because HOke resumed the ag
greSsive at that time as a cover to his
retreat and the abandonment of Will
mingtOn to its fate. General Hole
marched away during the night, and
TerTy's troops followed up, entering
the city at the dawn of Washington's
birthday.
Wilmington having been secured as
Il base for sherman in case of need,
General Schofeld turned his attention
to securing a better one at Newbern,
n. c., then in Federal possession, but
cut off from GoldsbOro where Sher-
man was expected to halt by a Confed-
crate post at Kingston. Leaving Terry
in command of Wilmington, Schofeld
detached General Cox to Newbern to
open the road to Goldsboro. This was
effected after a stubborn battle at
Kingston, and Schofeld united the col
umn under Terry with Sherman's army
at Goldsboro, with communications
open to both Newbern and Whining

The Capture of Wilmington
FoRTIETH ANNIVERSARY WAR STORY
February p. 1865

COX advance across the swamp will
cavalry, but this was finally Outflank
ed, and the troops passed the swamp
to high ground beyond. Throughout
the day the fleet kept up rain of fire
upon Fort Anderson, and the Confed-
| crates abandoned the place during the
night, leaving ten pieces Of heavy ar
tlIlery to the enemy.
The garrison of Fort Anderson re-
treated along the river bank to a
stream called Town creek, which flows
at right angles with Cape Fear river
few miles below Wilmington. On
the east side of the river the Confed-
crates under General HOke also fell
back and took up a position opposite
the mouth Of Town creek. General
Terry followed up Hoke in his retreat
and General Ames' division crossed
from the west bank of the river to the
east to support Terry. General Cox
pursued the garrison column to the
banks of Town creek.
Before evacuating Fort Anderson the
Contederates built a strong line Of
works on the north bank of Town
creek and manned them with Whit
worth rihed cannon and two field
pieces. The creek was deep and Qn-
fordable. The planking was removed
from the bridge over the creek, and
guns in the works swept the long
causeway over the marsh leading to
the bridge. y single Confederate bri-
gade led 10y General Hagood held the
works at Town creek
General CoXs skirmishers worked
their way through the marsh to the
edge Of the creek and picked up an
abandoned tlatbOat which was used
on the goth to ferry troops across.
rs the boat could carry but fifty men,
1t consumed half day to put two
Drigades across. During this move
ment CoX's sharpshooters on the south
uonK crept 50 close to the creek as TO
make it hot for the Confedcrates to
show themselves above the parapet.
The Whitworth gun in the works was
disabled by artillery fire, and the Fed
eral navy steamed up within range,
compelling the Confederates on both
sides Of Cape Fear river to take po-
sitions out Of reach.
The Confederates behind Town creek
made the mistake of thinking that the
ground on the tanks of their position
was impossible for the Federals to
march over. Geneaal Cox didn't find

the region picketcd and soon struck
the highrOad two miles in rear of the
works. The Confederates had begun
a line of breastworks facing to the
rear and turned about to meet Cox
| when they discovered his line moving
down from Wilmington way. A single
charge of the FeGerals broke the line,
and the commander surrendered with
400 men and , cannon. Part of the
C0nfeGeratcs escaped to Wilmington.
During the night General Cox repair
ed the bridge over Town creek and,
with his whole force, trains and artil-
lery, set out for Wilmington Mean
Willie General IIOke's C0nfelerates
still held General Terry back on the
east Of the river. After march of six
miles Cox was again held up by Mill
creek, an unfOHdable stream with
its bridge burned. Two hours were
passed in repairing the bridge. and the
column marched on to Brunswick Fer
ry, in front of Wilmington. Here the
railway bridge fired by the Confed-
crates was still burning, but several
boats of a pontoOn bridge used by the
Confederates had been overlooked. and
with these the troops were poled across
TO Eagle island, midway of the river
and about a mile wide,
General Cox Immediately began to
repair the pontoon bridge and cross
his column to the island. Meanwhile
the detachment which had been ferried
over marched on toward the city fer
ry and were met by Il party of Con
federates having a couple of cannon
in position behind n rude work they
had constructed to defend the road
While the ridemen of the Federal van
guard attempted to drive the COnfed
crate gunners from their pieces Gen
eral Cox opened with artillery from
the west bank, and the explosion of
the shells so close to the city warned
the authorities that an enemy was at
their gates.
Persistent rumors had been afloat
around Wilmington that the Confeder
ate General Hardee, who had evacuat-
ed Charleston and moved north with
several thousand men, was ABOUT TO
succor the threatened city. General
Terry could make no Roadway in try
ing to push Hoke's Confederates on
the east bank of the river, and it was
supposed that Hoke had been re-en-
forced. General Cox's story of the day
is that the commanding officer of the
expedition, General Schofield, ordered
him (CoX) after he had secured a lodg-
ment upon Eagle island TO draw back
and ferry his troops to the east bank
Of Cape Fear river to re-enforce Terry.
Being convinced from what he had
seen on the west bank, General Cox
says that he purposely delayed obey
ing orders promptly, put one brigade in
motion and reported the circumstance

DISTRESS AFTER MEALS
Sure Sign That Or. Williams Pink Pills
Are Needed to Tone Up the
Digestive Organs.

Loss of appetite, distress after eating,
shOrtness of breath, q feeling Of utter
weakness-these are symptoms that are
familiar to most sufferers from stomach
trouble. Too often the ordinary DOCTORS
! treatment serves but to weaken the dis
eased organs.
The new tonic method Of treating dis
| orders of this kind does not aim to do the
work of the stomach, does not demand
that the food be pre-digested, but builds
| up the weakened organs, SO that they can
do the work that nature intended.
Mrs. L.O. Law, of No. 324 North street,
Horton, Kansas, says: "In 1897, while
| we were living on Il farm in this neigh
borhood, I became generally debilitated
as the result of overwork. / had serious
Indigestion, lost my appetite, suffered
from a sense of suffocation and from OBJ
struction of the circulation, SO that arti-
fetal means had to be use1 to restore it.
After suffering for months without find
ing any relief, L tried a box of DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills of which l had read in
a newspaper. The first few boxes made
me lots better, and after using the third
box [ felt entirely well.
~ am now in excellent health and am
able not only to take care Of my house
bat also to assist my husband in a store
which he has lately taken. Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills cured me and l can recon-
mend them. They are SO simple, so
easily taken and so prompt in their ac-
ton"

not act Oh the bowels. They make nov
blood and restore shattered nerves. In
this way they carry health and vigor to
every organ and fiber Of the body. They
are sold by all druggists or will be SENT,

Her Awful Threat.

On the sand at Windsor Beach a
little girl had a dipper full Of water,
with which she wet the sand and built
marvellous things.
The water in the dipper was drawn
into its hollow handle, according to
the habit Of dippers, and, overbalanc-
ing the bowl, tipped it over. When
this had gone on at intervals of nearly
an hour the little girl got angry. She
sat up and put the dipper down hard.
Then she said threateningly:
IF you do that again, I'll cut your
tail of and make a basin of your
