DEATH OF MIR. HICKS.
Young Railroad Omcial Passes Away
 In Montgomery.

Charles c. Hicks, 2S years of age, and for the past year local commercial agent of the Seaboard Air Line Rail- way, died at St. Margaret's Hospital yesterday morning at five minutes after 5 o'clock.
 Mir. Hicks went to the hospital last Wednesday suffering from an attack of Ia grippe. which. together with organic heart complications, caused his death.
 He was a native of Somerset, Ky, where his mother and two brothers survive him. and to which place the re- mains were shipped at 6:30 o'clock last night.
 Mir. D. B. Graves. who acted in the capacity Of clerk in Mir. Hicks officS, accompanied the remains to Kentucky.
 MT. Hicks came to Montgomery a year ago, having been transferred from the soliciting department of the Seaboard All Line Railroad at St. Louis to similar position in this city. It was thought that the change would be beneficial as his health at that time waS very poor. In his short stay in this city he made many friends as the numerous beautiful floral tokens which accompanied the remains attest. His death was particularly sad one.
 Mir Hicks was a member of the Inde- pendent Order of Beavers. which organ ization took charge of the body. The following members of the local lodge of Beavers with many of his numerous friends, escorted the remains to the union railway station: Messrs. Tom Charles. c. L Lardner, J. H. Taylor, Tom Wescott, P. c. Hannon and D. A. Castleberry.

 Judge Dive1biss then struck upon the novel idea of letting the tombstone over the mothers grave decide the case, knowing that there could be no intention of wrongdoing when the siab was engraved. All parties agreed to this and upon investigation the date was found to be November 27. 1889. As all witnesses testified that sne lacked from November 27 to December 32 of being tSree years old when her mother died. then she was of age December a.. 1904.

 My Dear Mrs. Jones-In reply to your request for an account of the charge at Bull Run known as that of tho "Black Horse" I write the follow ing:
 was with General Stonewall Jack son. near the close of the battle when ho ordered me to request General Joseph E. Johnston to send some in- fantry to support eleven pieces Of ar tillery which under his order l had placed in position on our right close to the Stone Bridge. As l approached Johnston on one side Colonel R. C, w. Radford commanding the 18th Virginia cavalry of about $50 men, rode up to him on the opposite side for orders. Johnston directed him to attack the enemy in their rear, but stated that he did not know anything about the topography of the country therefore he could not direct him. Hearing this stated that I knew the locality as Gen eraI Beauregard whose aide l was had some time previously directed me to study the country in that vicinity as there he expected the United states army would attack him.
 led Radford's command towards Washington. crossing Bull Run at the Lewis Ford some distance below the Stone Bridge, thence we proceeded through some open woods towards the Turnpike. An enclosed field was on our right, into this against my efforts our leading column dashed, exposing the men to the fire of a battery of artillery near by on the Turnpike. The head of our column turned to retreat when I forced my horse in among them catch ing the brides on each side of me, thus stopping the stampede
 Ordering the fence in our front lowered, the column again faced the enemy, when the charge was made with great spirit. We captured the United States battery of four guns, its officers and many men, together with Colonel Corcoran commanding the 69th New York regiment and his flag. This created a great panic on the Turnpike at the highest point midway between Bull Run towards the battle field and Cub Run towards Washington A large gun upset on the Cub Run bridge, blocking its passage. thus 1t was that fourteen cannon and many wagons. and ambulances. etc. were abandoned, the men cut the traces and fled to Washington.
 We then charged up the Turnpike towards the Stone Bridge, there we were met by Tylers Division of in- fantry and artillery and repulsed. Cap tain Radford, brother of the colonel was killed and some of the men.
 We brought off Colonel Corcoran and his flag, the captain. of the captured battery and between sixty and eighty prisoners.
 Colonel Radford paid me the follow ing compliment in his report:
