ing position in my front before the
enemy obtained possession thereof.
Wei as the Federals, were moving rap
IDLY toward this point. A battery was
placed In position in order to check
the enemy, and allow my troops time
to reach the ground, the object Of con-
tentfon. Whilst these four guns ac-
complished the desired aim. the con-
centrated fire Of number of Federal
batteries forced the gunners to with
draw, and leave them between the lines
or the two armies, which were very
close together at that point. They
were finally abandoned on the night
OF our retreat from Resaca, simply
from the fact that l found upon con-
sultation with Col Beckham, my Chief
or Artillery, and Maj.-Gen. Stevenson,
one OF my division commanders that
l mad more guns than were required
Tor the number of men in my COM
mand; and, as the order to retreat had
been given, it was deemed better to
yield them to the enemy than to sacri-
flee 100 Or 200 men in retaining them.
think my action in this instance will
meet not only the approval Of the mill

The whole matter was laid before
Gen. Johnston, and the guns were
least, such is my recollection. More
over, am informed by Capt. Sweat
that these guns belonged to his COM
mand, and that they were four old
iron pieces, not worth the sacrifice OF
the life OF even one man.

In reference to occult warnings and
an article in The National Tribune re-
Gently from the pen OF Comrade G.. a
Pabodie, of the saith y. Y. relating to
premonitions, as they We're called in

from st. Charles, Iowa:
The article reminds me of a case
which easily confirms in my mind thai

mary. / was n member of Co. q, 10th
Pa. Reserves. and on the morning OF
Dec. 13, 1852, while the left grand di-
vision of Burnside's army, under COM
mand of Gen. Franklin, was preparing
for the battle of Fredericksburg, our
Captain, ]. p. Smith, Il young man
who had entered the service as Or
derly-Sergeant and had been promoted
to Captain of the company. said as the
sun came up behind us on the other
side of the Rappahansock, clear and
brilliant, promising beautiful day, as
1t proved to be:
L would give a thousand worlds Ia
see that sun go down.
1.-The tone of voice and expression OF
countenance of this boy officer. but
little Older than myself, too plainly
indicated what was uppermost in his
mind. In reply, and as cheerfully as
possible, l said:
Now, Captain, don't worry. You
know We can't get it any worse than
we did at Antietam and some other
places, and see how many of us are
still safe and sound
He replied: No use. l will get my
discharge to-day, and will have to leave
you
THE order came for Meade's Divi-
sion to charge the rebel right. We
started, and just as we crossed the first
ditch a battery sent a storm of grape
and canister into our ranks. One of
the first victims was this noble young
officer. whose breast was pierced by a
grapeshot, and in few days his body
was sent to Mercer, Pa, and buried
there EMBODIED in the flag the loyal wo-
men of our home city had presented
to our company in May, 1861.

lief in premonitions that was implant-
ed in me then and there has not been
eradicated."

SEES MENACE IN EGYPT.
Sir Henry Grey Warns English ParIia
ment to Move With Caution.


London, July 6.-Parliament and the
country were given a surprise last
night by the unexpected and sensa-
tional speech by Sir Edwin Grey, for
eign secretary, OH the situation in
Egypt.
Speaking in solemn tone and amid
intense silence, the minister declared
the recent attacks on the British Off
GERS at Tantab was not accidental, but
the deliberate manifestation of ia
natical spirit which mad necessitated
the strengthening of the garrison in
Egypt. and declared that unless the
authority of Lord Cromer and the
Egyptian government was strongly up
held it might lead to a situation re-
curing the adoption of such uncon-
stitutional measures as to meet the
emergency as would be especially dis
tasteful to the liberal government.
The secretary referred to the great
growth of the fanatical feeling in
Egypt and turnout North Africa re-
Gently, which might necesstate even
further measures to protect Europeans
i'm Egypt, and continued: CAS- things
are now, say deliberately and with
full sense Of responsibility that if par
lament does anything at this moment
TO weaken or destroy the authority of
the Egyptian government you will
come face to face with very serious
situati for should fanaticism ge,

there might arise the necessity for ex-
IRENE measures"

sTuNG BY LIZARD SHE WORE.
Woman Killed by Reptile She Hae
Taken for a Chameleon.

| Memphis, Tenn, July 6--Unconscious
of the difference between poisonous
| lizards in her own state and the HARM
less chameleon which she had seen
worn by hundreds of women at Mem
phis during a visit, Mrs. P. A. Fletcher
of Palestine, Ark, returned to her
home, pinned a lizard she had caught
in her garden to her bosom, was bit
ten or stung and died as a result OF
blood poisoning which the doctor says
can be traced to pimple started OH
her neck.
Mrs Fletcher Was recent visitor
in Memphis. The chameleon craze
which proved popular fad several
years ago and which has been revived
here and at other cities in the south,
resulted in wholesale demands from
street peddlers, and when Mrs. Fletcher
tried to buy she found the supply ex-
hausted. On her return to Palestine
her friends say she spoke of the new
fad and declared that she would supply
herself with one
She found lizards plentiful in the
garden and after catching one chained
it to her breast She waited for the
pet to change color, as she had seen
the chameleon change at Memphis, and
allowed it to crawl to her neck. She
was surprised to discover much pain
little later and when her neck com
menced to swell the family physician
was called in She died after four
days illness.
There is talk in Memphis of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals taking action which would
lead to the suppression of the sale Of
chameleons.

Demand From Shippers Light, Which

Market Change in Sheep Prices.

Chicago. July 6--Cattle-The alb
sence of shipping demand made the
market for steers poor one from the
standpoint of sellers, and While the
general average was not much lower
there were a few sales made at
a slight discount.
Below IS line the demand has been
relatively poor as a result OF the Dig
marketing of Texas stock. and there
has not been much Improvement for
such kinds. while the lack of good de-
mand from feeder buyers has also been
a handicap to the trade for the light
cheap steers.
Failure of the market for pam ana
medium steers to advance this week
has indicated the indifference OF the
packers toward them. The run mas
been light, but instead of making gains
some kinds have even gone lower. and
in contrast has been the keen selling OF
the more desirable fat classes.
Hogs.
Weakness was a feature of the mar
ket this morning. The general Level
of prices was about the same as at the
previous session A few hogs sold at
$50 but the blk went at $50. The
demand from shippers was light. and
this helped packers to dictate prices

tics Given.

Des Moines, July 6.-The assess
ment of personal property in Iowa this
year will disclose a small gain over the
assessment Of 1905; Nearly all of the
counties have reported the assessment
of this year to the auditor of state. 1t
is thought that instead of $11O,O0O,OO0
assessed valuation-the actual value
would be four times that sum-the as
sessed valuation of this year will ap-
proach $120, 900, 000
In communities like Iowa the per-
sonal property is known to be fully as
valuable as the real property, but the
local assessors fail to reach 1t.
1t will be in order now for the anti
Cummins newspapers and political
managers to charge Governor Cum
minis with being responsible for the In
crease in the assessment of PERSONAL
ty this year. OF course, he has not
heard ! the valuation placed on the
personally of the people of the state
this year by the local assessors, but
that does not stop the anti-Cummins
politicians from charging him with the
responsibility. Realty is not reassessed
this year.
Polk county's Increase.
There is an increase of almost halt
million dollars in Polk county and
an increase of about s150o00 in Wood
bury. The increase in Linn was less
than 100000 and Guthrie enjoyed but
about $4,000 increase.
