ON THE RAIL


w. l.. Danley, general passenger
agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis railway has out a beauti-
full colored Autograph of the historic
engine General of Andrews raiders
fame. The picture is 1Sx25 inches
and shows the old engine as it stands
today in the union depot, Chattanoo-
ga, monument to American valor.
Older readers are !. familiar with the
story of the famous Andrews railroad
raid, but for the benefit of the
younger generation, or those who
have lost sight of this interesting bit
of history, we will again tell the story
briefly. The party consisted OF TWEEN
ty-two men, volunteers from Ohio regr
iments, and was under the leadership
of James ]. Andrews, a Kentuckian.
These chaps left Shelbyyille, Tenn,
early in April, 1852, and followed the
line of the old Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad to Chattanooga, where
they boarded Western & Atlantic
train for Marietta, Ga. Their object
was to burn all the bridges on the
Western & Atlantic between Atlanta
and Chattanooga. and thereby cut off
the confederate army from its base of
supplies. They reached Marietta on
the night of April IL, and the next
morning they boarded the regular pas
senger train from Atlanta bound for
Chattanooga, and paid their fares to
n int lfo uyhi 10.
the passengers and train crew were
at breakfast, they stole the engine
and three freight cars and dashed off
down the track at full speed. The
conductor of the train, Captain w. A.
Fuller, saw some one going off with
his train, and called to his engineer,
Jeff Cain, and to Anthony Murphy,
shop foreman All three arose and
hurried out of the house just as the
engine passed out of sight Captain
Fuller, Murphy and Cain commenced
pursuit on foot. They soon secured a
hand car and, in spite of distractions
placed on the track by the daring raid
ers, made rapid progress At Etowah
they found the engine Yonah, and the
pursuit then was at such rapid pace
that serious damage to the railroad
by the raiders was impossible.
The General was abandoned by the
raiders at point about halfway be.
tween Ringgold and Graysville, on ac-
count of lack of fuel and the close
pursuit of Fuller and his party. When
the fugitives abandoned the engine
their leader said Every one take care
of himself and they left in squads.
Four were run down in the fork of
the Ch:ckamauga river at Graysville,
and one was forcibly persuaded to tell
who they were. Later there was q
trial by military courC, and eight OF
the number were executed in Atlanta
as spies, six were paroled at City
Point. Va, and eight escaped from
prison at Atlanta. The survivors of
the Andrews'raid have erected a mon
ument to their fallen comrades, and it,
stands today in the national cemetery
at Chattanooga. Two tablets have
also been erected by the Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis railway, one
marking the spot at which the Gem
eral was captured and the other where.
it was abandoned. A. third tablet has
been erected in front. of the engine

London, Nov. 24.-The persistent
refusal of the Turkish government to
accept European control of the vii
ayettes of Macedonia, notwithstand-
ing the ultimatum presented by the
allied powers, is about to lead to put
ting into operation the threat OF a
naval demonstration with a view OF
compelling the acquiescence OF Tur-
key in European control of the ad-
ministration> of land the proposed re
forms in Macedonia.
The obdurancy of the sultan appar-
emily is based on the belief that he
had the passive support of the emper-
or of Germany and upon 1ealousies
supposed to exist among the powers
interested. -
In diplomatic quarters it had been
supposed to the very last that the sui
tan would yield, and even now it is
expected that he will do so before
the international !: fleet takes active
measures. 1t is understood, that the
I sultan appealed -yairly to. !: j; Emperors
William Nicholas and, Francis Joseph
against the projected demonstration.
The reply of the Sultan to the de-
mand of the powers was a yelled
threat of massacres of christians in
Turkey.
