Both Sides Responded.

when war was declared between the
United States and Spain and the President
called for volunteers the men of the south
responded with as much alacrity the men
of the north. Side by side they entered the
eminent deadly breach; side by side they
emerged from the smoke OF battle; side by
side they charged up the heights of San
Juan and planted the flag of their country
upon the ramparts of the enemy. 1t is
therefore the work of supererrogation to
affirm that when the confederates laid
down their arms and promised to renew
their allegiance to the Union they made
no mental reservation, but acted in good
faith and meant what they said.

when the war commenced and the thun-
der of hostile cannon echoed and re-echoed
all along the coast and our sleeping cities
We're awakened with the music of burst
ing bombs the south arose in all her queen
ly majesty and called upon her sons to
come to her defense. And they came. They
came from mountain top 10 bay shore, they
came from far-off lands beyond the seas
they came from workshops and helds, they
came from colleges and schools. hey came
from pulpit and bar, they came like war
riors of Alpine to the sound of their
chieftian's whistle. Who can ever forget
the soul-stirring events of that memorable
period? Who can ever forget the lofty
courage and generous enthusiasm with
which our brave boys responded to the call
of their mother states. We can never for
get the unSelfiSh devotion with which they
poured out their life blood as d Ibation for
liberty or can forget the unfalling con-
stancy and unfaltering fortitude with which
they followed the fortunes of the confed-
eracy from its cradle to its grave? Who
can ever forget our martyred heroes, who
after sealing their devotion to the cause
of the southern confederacy, now sleep in
silent graves all over the south. where they
will rest in peace until the eternal morn
shall awake the silence of the tomb.
Shall the time ever come when they
shall be unhonored, unwept ana uusung?
Oh, my countrymen, these are precious and
unhallowed memories. They must not and
shall not ZEE allowed to perish from the
earth. Whatever the men may do or say in
this commercial age when to put money in

life with many our noble women, God bless
them, will never forget the memories of our
martyred dead Oh, no, no, on the con-
trary as the years roll on and each sue

bring flowers to be laid by the hand of
affection upon these honored graves"

THE EQUITABLE CASE
EFFORT AT ALBANY TO SECURE
LEGISLATIVE INVESTIGATION.

ALBANY, N. Y, April 26.-A futile at
tempt was made in the assembly today to
introduce a resolution calling for a joint
legislative investigation of the affairs of
the Equitable Life Assurance Society. OBJ
lection was made that no resolution was
now receivable except by unanimous con-
sent. The proposed resolution sets forth
that there is a firm conviction in the
minds of the people that the affairs of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society are not
being honestly and properly conducted by
the officers, managers or directors, or some
of them, and that the earnings of the com
pany are not being used for the benefit of
the policy holders, but are diverted from
their legitimate purposes and used by some
of the officers or directors of said COM
pany for their own personal ends and ag-
grandizement; that most injurious charges,
cOunterCharges, rumors and increasing
scandal have directed the attention of the
people to the existing conditions within the
management of the Equitable Life alfd
have created a growing belief that a COM
petent and public investigation is abso-
lutely necessary to the end that legislation
be enacted such will restore honest,
proper and prudent management of the af-
fairs of this company and its numerous pol
icy holders"

10 CRUSHED To DEATH

Feet-Cause Mystery.
FELL DOWN THE SHAFT

WILKESBARRE, Pa, April 26-Ten
today at the Conyngham mine of the Della
ware and Hudson Company, located in the
northern part of this city. The men were
being lowered into the mine and when $50
feet from the surface the rope broke and
the cage fell to the bottom of the shaft a
distance of 400 feet. A rescuing party was
at once organized, and they found the
bodies of the men in the sump at the bot
tom of the shaft beneath a mass of debris.
They were terribly mangled Most of the
victims lived in the vicinity of the mine,
and when the rescuers brought the crushed
forms to the surface a large crowd was in
waiting. The grief of the relatives of the
dead was heartrending.
Cannot Account FOR Accident
Superintendent Foote says he is at loss
to account for the accident. An eXamina-
ton of the rope was made today before
the first cage full of human freight was
lowered into the mine and it was round to
be all right
VIM. Cunningham, who is said to be one
of the most reliable men in the employ of
the company, was the engineer in charge
of the hosting carriage He says every
lIHHB went well until the Idldl Trip he
got the signal to lower and to stop at the
Hillman vein, which is $50 feet from the
surface
When the Hllman was reached he slowed
up. Without any warning the rope snap
ped and the carriage containing the ten men
dropped like a shot to the bottom. The
carriage had all the safety appliances, and
its speed should have been checked before
it reached the bottom, but as far as can be
learned the catcher did not work. Eight
of the dead We're Poles and two others
English-speaking miners.

men on the vehicle We're dashed to the bot
tom of the shaft and instantly killed. The
first disaster occurred at the Auchincloss
mine, in which ten miners lost their lives.
