HAD THRILLING EXPERIENCES
Danvers Man in Civil War Repeat
eddy Escaped from His Con-
federate Captors.

Every old soldier who gave worthy
service to his country has story to
tell that the modern generation would
delight to hear, and one such is re-
called by the recent death of Patrick
O'Connell, of Danvers, at the age Of 81,
says the Boston Transcript. He was a
respectable business man, and has been
commander of the local Grand Army
post, as well as president of the first
Massachusetts union of survived rebel
prisoners. Only 10 years old when he
enlisted in the service of the union, in
June, 1864, OConnell was taken pris-
oner near Petersburg, Va. He was
first sent to Libby prison in Richmond,
and then to Belle Isle, where he suf-
fered much, and was then started for
AnderSonville. On the Fourth of July
O'Connell jumped from the moving
train end got to the woods. After five
days Journeying toward Charleston he
was overtaken by bloodhounds, one of
whom lacerated his leg, so that the
marks always remained, and then he
was marched to Columbia JAIL where
kind care from a cook in the prison
saved him from death. July u, he
escaped from there, but was again
overtaken and returned to Columbia
jail where he was kept ten days in
dark dungeon, and was then turned
into the jailyard with ball and chain
attached to his feet. After some days
the bali and chain were ordered re-
moved by the surgeon, and about Aup-
ust 10 O'Connell dug a hole under the
fence and again escaped He was
caught after four days and nights by
men who were hunting for conscripts;
put in jail at Charleston, and after a
few days was again shipped with other
prisoners for Andersonville. He slipped
from the car but after six hours of
liberty was again caught, and this time
was taken to Columbia and thence
again to Charleston Jail, and then back
to Columbia.
This carried the prisoner with many
adventures, to October %, when, with
four other prisoners he climbed over

AN ANECDOTE OF LINCOLN
The Newspaper Man Had to See the
President and He Did in His
Night Shirt.

Col. Holloway IL this letter gives
the following characteristic anecdote
of President Lincoln: William II.
Burlington, now American consul at
Naples, who was one of the Wash
ington staff OF the New York Tribune
during the civil war, told me last sum-
mer that late one night following the
receipt of the news that Sherman had
cut loose from Atlanta for the sea. he
received a message from the managing
editor of the Tribune to see President
Lincoln at once, and tell him the
Tribune wanted to send two CORE
spondents TO meet sherman when he
reached the sea, ana desired to know
TO what point TO send them.
This was late at night but Byring-
ton must obey orders. He went to the
White House The president had re-
tired. but the Tribune man insisted
that the attendant take his card to the
president, as it was important that he
should see him Immediately. The
Tribune man was taken to the corridor
on the second floor. The attendant
entered the presidents room and o
moment later the chief executive came
out in his night shirt. The corre-
spondent apologized for intruding at
such ar unseemly hour. but delivered
his message,
MIR. Lincoln looked puzzled for q
rloment and then said: l don't know. =
a curious look came over his face as
he added, 'bu. If were going 10 guess
| would say send one 10 Mobile ana
the other to Savannah. Now. if stan
ton knew ! told YOU he would Kill me.
Don't tell him.

1.-THE HERO OF SANDUSKY."
After Long Years the Memory of
Col. George Croghan Is Fit
tingly Recognized.

Several weeks ago Col. X. NJ. Kelley,
a federal veteran of the late war, in
charge of the federal cemeteries in the
vicinity of Louisville, KY, received
communication from Washington, re-
questing him to ascertain the burial
place of Col. George Croghan, who dis
tinguished himself in the war OF 1917
and was known as the Hero of San
dusky. Search was made in the old
family burial ground at Locust Grove,
the old home of his father, Maj. Will
liam Croghan, near Louisville. The
first examination was without result,
as the ground was covered thickly
with periwinkle and vines. Later Mr..
Webb Hayes, son of the late President
Hayes, arrived and a closer examina-
ton anu clearing of the ground result
ed in finding a small headstOne lying
fiat, bearing the letters, Col. q. c.
Upon exposing the coffin, which was
of mahogany, the Identification was
made complete, and the remains were
taken by Mr.. Hayes to Fremont, o., to
be inferred near a handsome mOnu-
ment erected to his memory at Ere
mont, the site of old Fort Sandusky,
the residence of ex-President Hayes.
Col. Croghan was born at Locust
Grove November Is, 1891, his father,
Maj. William Croghan, having built
the large brick house which still
stands in good preservation, in 1871.
1t was here that George Rogers Clark,
who was the brother of Maj. Croghan's
wife, spent the last years of his life,
and it was in the same burial ground
that he was inferred. twenty-five or
80 years ago his remains We're removed
to Cave Hill cemetery, where they are
marked by a plain granite headstOne.
Col. Croghan was graduated at Will
liam and Mary college, Virginia, in
1910, and when about 20 years of age
served with distinction in the battle
of Tippecanoe. He was promoted to
a capJaincy in March, 1872, and year
later became aid-de-camp to Gen. Har-
rison, with the rank of major. On
August 2, 1913, while in charge of Fort
Stevenson, at Lower Sandusky, the fort
Was attacked ny superior bFillSu
force, and its fall seemed almost in
eyitable. But the defense was con-
ductel with such skill and spirit that
the enemy, under Gen. Proctor, were
repulsed and forced to retire. Gen.
Harrison in his official report gave
great credit to the young officer, say
ing among other words of compliment:
1T Will not be among the least OF
Gen. Proctor'S notifications that he
has been bafIled by youth who had
just PASSED his twenty-first year"
From that time Col Croghan was
known always as the Hero of San
dusky, the toast of the army, and adj
mired and hCnored by all The ladies
of ChilliCOthe presented him with

gold medal for gallantry. In 1914 he
was promoted lieutenant colonel of

for one so young. He resigned in 1917.
