and hurried back in order to hear the
details Of the victory. But try as he
would he could get no response from the
operator at Manassas. After an hour or
so. the wire opened up farther north, and
the operator said he was on his way to
Washington. why did you leave?" asked
Capt Young. The instrument snapped
back. Hell. everybody left"
The news was suppressed and the morn
ing papers next day told Of a great Union
victory. but two mud-stained and travel
worn telegraph operators who rode up TO
the office on Pennsylvania avenue at day
light the next morning told different
story. At the time of the battle of Bull
Run. the famous Union rout, Capt Young
went across the Potomac and collected
q bag fun Of dispatches to be sent north
to the homes Of men who escaped injury
the first battle OF the war.
Capt Young has sent much Of the his
tory OF the statecraft Of the youngest and
biggest nation of the world to the public
from his own finger tips and, naturally,
it is hard to startle him with a political
sensation. He is still as young as a boy
in spirit, and he takes as much interest
IN a lively fight on the floor Of the House
nowadays as he did when the fiery
Southerners were predicting the destruc-
ton of the Union If Lincoln was elected,
or when Thad Stevens was lambasting
the erring sisters" of the South. In his
personal experience is shown the rela-
tionship of the telegraph to American life.
His memoirs Of the business would be the
history of the United States for half a
century.

A Peculiar Accident.

An accident happened Tues
day in front of the livery barn in
New London the like of which
was never recorded in this Sec
tion. Mat Emison was driving
his family mare aud when in
front of the residence of Mrs.
Mary Megown the bride bit
broke, soaring the animal. and
she started on a run. Ben Blr-
dit, colored, was driving up
the street in one-horse wagon,
loaded with wood. When Just
in front of Haydon's livery barn,
the animal Mr.. Emison was
driving ran into one of the shafts
of the wagon Ben was driving.
The shaft struck her squarely
in the breast and came out at
her back, just back of the with
ers. 1t is supposed that the
shaft penetrated her heart. as
she lived only about two min.
utes after the accident. The
animal was a very valuable one,
and the loss is a very heavy
