showed John how ii was to be done,
and of course he was walked off to the
guard house. In the morning poor John
expected TO be shot. LoSal's contempt
increased for that poor Dutchman.
Johns opportunity for revenge came at
last when he was again on guard and
Logan wanted to get into camp bad. He
could not get Johns gun; he could not
explain that he was Col. Logan. NO,

said: "I was afraid that Dutchman

At about 1890 o'clock Saturday
morning Capt. McGrath ceased firing
his large guns, and ordered me to cease
also. Some of our men were stripped
to the waist. and although they had
been working hard and long, and Were
black with powder, they were full OF
fight. A premature explosion had killed
two and wounded several. Then came
the order to destroy those guns and
carriages-the mainstay of the post
and retire to the Virginia side. Be
lieving they could still be held and
used with effect, l hesitated. The Cap
tain drew his revolver. j said il looked
like treachery. and we could hold the
Hights, and unless he had such orders
in writing it might make trouble. Then
the Captain showed me the written or
der. signed by Col. Thomas H. Ford,
commanding, for which act he was dis
missed from the service. Nothing was
left but to obey. With sad hearts the
men spiked those magnificent pieces of
artillery. tumbled the heavy guns down
the precipice. and leisurely started
down the Hights. crossing the pontoon
bridge to Harper's Ferry.

boys got back rather lively and ran into
the ropes where their horses were tied,

Us were ordered to go to the Seminary

The moderate supply of 36, 900 cattle
received here last week put buyers 10

shade stronger. No settlement of the
question Of whether or not she stun
shall be Inspected before slaughter has
been received, although conferences
have been held between packers and
commission men, and the outlook Is
most favorable for the selling side.
The compromise accepted by ST Joseph
bias failed to draw any COWS aud hell
ers to that'market more than the nor
NAL supply, although packers have
put extra buyers there in the expecta
,tion that the country would rush into
the net, The effect has been TO make
shippers stand more firmly together
than before, and to discredit Ger
tain class of operators. Top steers
today sold at 56 so, and the best steers
are shade lower than week ago,
top last week 81. Medium class steers
are 10 TO 25 cents lower than the begin
ming of last week, bulk selling at 5.75
to 80, grassy steers IS to6. The
latter class suffer More discrimination
than heretofore which will increase
in comparison with dry lot cattle as
the season advances, and supply OF
dry let steers grows small. A load OF

closer the top than week ago, Every
indication points to plenty of hogs IN
the county, while packers begin to
act like they have considerable sup

which cause predictions OF a lower
range OF prices for the future.
Supply OF sheep and lambs is fairly
