The U. $. s. Commodore Jones.

Comrade r. A. ]. Hornsby, Williams
port. Md, says he enjoys reading the
soldiers "reminiscences in The National
Tribune. He was a sailor in the civil
war, and was a member Of the crew
of the u. s. s. Commodore Jones, and
was on board when that vessel was
blown up on the James River above
City Point in 1864, by torpedo. Com
rade Hornsby says the torpedo was not
intended for the ship he was on, but
for a monitor. He would like to hear
from some OF his old shipmates. also
how many of the crew were killed by
the explosion.

Tribune a wartime photograph of
Richardson, the rebel spy, who was ex-
ecuted at Frederick City, Md. and
about whom so much has been written.
Comrade Walker says the photograph
was given to him in 1865 at Chatta-
nooga by L. L. Roberts, a veteran of

was at the execution. Il believe it to
be genuine" adds Comrade Walker, las

Insignias Of the Union.
The present insignia Of the Union,
which appears on the left of the pic
ture of the National Commander, was
adopted in 1891, and has been the Off
cial insignia continuously from that
date. This insignia was the one rec
ognized by the act of Congress of May
II, 1894, when authority was given for
the wearing of the same by officers and
enlisted men in the active service.
The insignia on the right is the one
which was in use from the founding of
the Order, in March, 1888, up to the
odnntion of the present insignia in 1891.

lSO,OOO,OOO FROM
A BARREL OF OIL
REVELATION OF THE LocKHART
WEALTH REVIVE STORY OF
THE SILENT MAN.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 19,-Allesheny
county's Board Of Tax Assessors pur-
poses to clear the mystery that has
hitherto enyeloped the estate Of the
late Charles Lockhart, which is now
said to amount to s1SO,OOO,o0O, and to
have grown 10 that size from three
barrels of crude petroleum bought in
1852.
Lockhart died on January %, 1905,
leaving a will in which he divided the
bulk OF his estate between two sons,
| j. H. Lockhart and John NJ. Lockhart,
and two daughters. Mrs. John R Nc
cune and Mrs. Henry Lee Mason. To
his other child, Mrs. William s.
Flower who married a young dentist
against the wishes Of her family he
left only the income of 100000. The
will was drawn in such shape that it
was not necessary to diyulge the val
ue Of the estate, which was announced
to be BIO tween slO,Ooo.OOO and $4,000.
loco. He had been popularly rated at
between $2OO,0OO,OOO and $SOo,OOo,'
900.
It is said that Mrs. Flower will now
reopen her contest of the viii, She
had settled her case for $475,OoO and
a life interest in s1,8OO,OoO, on the
basis Of the estate being worth $4Ot
O0O,QOO. 1t now develops that the es.
tate is worth nearer s2oo,oOO,OOO than
s4o,OOO,OOo and her attorneys are pre-.
lparing to reopen tho case and demand
Ia more liberal settlement.
Persistent in Secrecy.
Secrecy has been the keynote Of the

ed his craving for privacy. 1t was
Edue to this inherited desire for secre.
cy that Mrs. Flower was able to make
Ebetter terms With her brothers and
sisters, than were provided by her
fathers Will.
Even the reasons on which her suit
would be based were not made pub,
lllc, but it was alleged that her father
had left at least s2O,OOO,OOO. Her share
in view of this was ridiculously
small. The suit would have resulted
in making public the value Of the es,
tate, and to avoid this the other four
heirs sacrificed $4,000 each. This,
with the 100000 trust fund and 1900.
900 cash left to each OF the children,
presumably to tide them over until
the estate could be settled, gave Mrs.
Flower $1,7OO,OOO With this she was
content to abandon the contest. Now
the Board Of Assessors declined to &C.
cept the heirs estimate Of less than
$1O,OoO,OoO, and have returned the
statement to them to be sworn to.
The assessors believe the estate is
worth s1sO,OOo,OOO.
