chaplain, had been serving in the
south and was taken seriously i'll, so
i'll, indeed, that he was ordered by the
doctors to the general hospital at
Vicksburg. He was sent on board a
boat bound for that point and was so
weak that he could hardly talk. He
asked his nurse for glass of water,
which had been prohibited by the doc

to the physician on board the boat, and
the latter, after examining the chap

he wanted, for said the doctor, he
will not be alive when we reach Viclls-
burg, and we might as well give him
whatever he desires in the few remain
ing moments of his life.' But the chap
lain, who was afterward to become
one of the strongest powers in the

justify the caricaturists of those days

enter the low doorway, stepped in,
turned a step or two to the right and,
tenderly placing his hand on Hough-

down to the low cot as mother would

"In voice so tender and so low that
only my near proximity enabled me to

him how he had heard from DR.. Nc

ton, the logs of the side walls being
sawed off at height of about eight
feet from the ground, capped and
bound together by hewn plates. Light

ering of cotton cloth was tightly
drawn, affording an excellent interior
light. In the side walls were a few
small windows and one in each gable

The floors were of rough pine boards.
In the center of each end of the build

placed the narrow iron cots, sixty in all

writes:
Brave Young Captain Houghton.
"In the first of q long row of build
ings, the one known as the officers
ward, there were on the afternoon of
April q 1861 sixty officers of the Ninth
corps, all of whom had been wounded
in the Fort Stedman fight of March 20
or in the operations on the Petersburg
lines of April / and 2. AS one entered
the building from the main avenue
there lay in the first cot of the right
hand row young officer in whom all
the other occupants of the building
(who were not too much engrossed
with their own troubles) were deeply
interested-Cap Charles III. Hough-
ton of the Fourteenth New York heavy
artillery.
Captain Houghton had borne a high
ly distinguished part in the daybreak
fight at Fort Stedman and later in the
morning in the heroic defense of Fort
Haskell, where he received three Sc
we're wounds. Two of these wounds
had been received very early in the
action, but the captain had resolutely
refused to leave his command until
Gordons Confederates had all been
killed, captured or driven back, Fort
Stedman retaken and our lines re-
established. His splendid bravery had
been highly commended by his supe-
rior officers, and for it he was promoted
by the president to the rank of breyet
major.
Bore Sufferngs Bravely.
"When placed in the next cot to Ma
jor Houghton's late in the afternoon of
April 2, I was familiar with the story
of his bravery, as were most of the
men of our division, and so long as life
lasts shall be thankful for the priyi-
lege of a fortnight's study of his pa
tience, modesty, cheerfulness and hero

ably about twenty-five or twenty-three.
About six feet in height and slender,
with classic features, very black hair
and large black eyes, he was a noble

STARTS SCHOOL At
STANDARD STEEL
Young Hungarian Pupil of
Local High, Launches
Novel Project.
INSTRUCTS HIS COUNTRYMEN

Grammar, But Youth VIII
Later Increase Scope.
INSTRUCTS HIS COUNTRYMEN

Zolton Balanyi. of the local high
school, has organized and is at the
head of a most novel school, in fact 1t
is probably the most interesting of any
school in the northern part of the state.
He has gathered together at the Stand
ard Steel Car settlement, about fifty
Industrious Hungarians who are anx-
ious to learn the ways and language
of this country and established school
for their instruction.
Mr. Balayni, who is now a senior
in the high school can speak Hun
garian huently, and will no doubt be
of great service to the Standard Steel
employees in acquiring primary educa-
ton. The project was launched about
two weeks ago and has met with the
greatest success. They not only show a
Willingness but are eager to learn the
English language and many more have
applied to him for admittance to the
school than could be accommodated. In
q few weeks, however. he intends to
branch out and will be able to ac-
commodate nearly one hundred pupils.
All Credit Due Balanyf.
The idea was originated and carried
out by Balanyi who devoted his spare
time out of school to the promoting
of the project. The school has it's ses
sions al the present time in a room at
the works near the entrance to the
plant where the pupils meet about
twice a week. Grammar and English
are the only courses taught at the
present time as none of the pupils are
far enough advanced to take any other
course. Their young teacher will en-
ploy an assistant IN the near future as
the school is growing to such an cx-
tent that he cannot handle it all him
self
The tuition for the entire course OF
six months is $40. Every member OF
the school carefully saves up his spare
dollars so that he may have the OPP
portunity to enjoy the benefit of the
education. Nearly all Of them take
their lessons home each evening and
seem to show careful study and inter
est in their work at their Rotations

WHO THREW THE BAT THAT
HIT OFFICER OKROY 7
Everybody Tells Different Tale and
Judge Hunter Who Was Sought to
Disentangle the Case Got Such a
Headache He Had to Adjourn
Without Deciding.

A Polish revolution that broke out
in south West Hammond last Sunday
night was carried into the village
court this morning and owing to the
entangl clements that accompany the case
was continued by Judge Hunter of
Burnham until Thursday, Sept. 90. In
the meantime officer John Okroy. Mr..
and Mrs. JOS. Majszak and Andrew
1wancic are nursing painful wounds
that were caused by flying brick bats
The scene of the battle was Barney
Kulcyks saloon at 106 State Line street
and owing to the affected optical or
gans that came in contact with the
aforesaid flying brick bats the story
Is being told from different view
point by the members who were in
voluntarily interested.
The evidence this morning showed
that some twenty people of the Polish
district, including d number of wives,
were drinking at Kulcyks saloon until
they were social" as one of the wit
nesses put it this morning in the court
The historic ACCORDION played an i'm
portant part in the evenings entertain
ment until finally the greater part of
she guests Were hopping over the saloon
floor to the heavy strains of mazurka.
JOS. majszak who is the owner of the
building in which the saloon, Is and
who lives up stairs finding himself
being disturbed his Sabbath evening
sleep proceeded down the stairs to call
a halt to noises that may have been
patriotic but were without doubt, i'll
placed. Majszak delivered his profess
tation and turned his back upon the
crowd that jeered him in answer. Co
ing out of the room he says he was
followed by number of his country
men who attacked him.
In the mean time Mrs Mazsak who
had come partly down the steps was
struck by a brick as a gentle reminder
that here was not the proper place for
a woman. Her husband thinking that
one Andrew Iwancic had thrown the
brick proceeded to chastise him for the
deed. The result was that Iwancic was
put in such a condition that 1t was
necessary to call the aid Of a doctor in
order to put him on his feet again.
Okroy to the Rescue,
officer Okroy being one of the most
ubiquitous officers that the village has
was there on good time to make a
pinch" and forwith proceeded to take
Ma1szak to the village bastiIe when his
triumphal march was intercepted by a
flying brick s" by 4" by 2" which
struck the efficient officer one quarter
of an inch below the middle of the
right ear. The brick was found later
and no marks could be found on it.
Majszak escaped in the excitement but
was hailed into court this morning on
a warrant Judge Flynn being sick and
Judge Hunter of Durham presided
and continued the case until Thursday,
Sept &c.
