CHAPTER xxIv.-continued.
The Confederate chieftain had not
dreamed that Sherman, after taking
Atlanta, would think of turning back
to go to the assistance of his general
Indeed, the enemy had taken all
possible precautions to keep Corse
from sending messenger to his COM
mander
How this had been done the men Of
the signal corps could doubtless tell.
At any rate Sherman knew his as
s1stance was needed, and indeed, he
had figured on this beforehand, and
would have sent reinforcements bad,
even II news had not reached his ears.
Again they traversed the trail
marked by scenes of desperate valor
on both sides-where men in gray
met the furious onslaught of the le-
gions in blue, and only gave way,
slowly and sullenly, before the ad.
vance of overwhelming numbers
How memory reviewed these
scenes; they could point out the very
spot where they were charging when
a concealed battery opened upon them
with its raking fire, plowing great fur
rows through their ranks but it was
with thrill of proud satisfaction they
also remembered that evenSthis hail
storm of shot and shell failed to
quench their enthusiasm, and that
pushing on with indomitable pluck.
headed by Colonel John, they had car
ried the hill, seized the battery, and
turned its guns upon their late own
erS.
How the recollection of such glori-
Gus deeds aroused the martial ardor of
the men who hurried over hill and
vale to the relief of the general sur
rounded by Johnston's army.
And when in the far distance they
caught the dull throbbing of heavy
guns, like the pulsations of natures
heart, how eagerly they pressed on,
like hounds held in the leash.
WEAKNESS was forgotten.
The danger and difficulties that con.
fronted them looked Lilliputian now.
Forward,
Their comrades were sorely beset
and in need of assistance.
Not anticipating the coming of the
relief column, the Confederates were
hardly in position to lay trap for it.
They had been sorely tried in the

After the Club.

The other night, when one Of the
members of the Camp Fire Club came
home from one of the banquets of the
club, he found his wife waiting for
him with that grim look on her face
with which all married men who re-
main out nights are only too familiar
He tried to quietly slip up to his room,
but hts wife barred the way.
Pardon me. my dear" said the late
camper. 81 don't feel like talking to-
night" and she replied. Don't let
that bother you at all, sir, I'll do all
the talking tonight" And she did.
There were no locks to his bedroom,
but before his wife got half through
he mads bolt for the door.-Dan
Beard, in Recreation.

Few Americans received more
notable marks of respect during their
lifetime than John Hay received dur
Ing his, and none has ever been the

window in its synagogue, placed there

Memorial Building at Arlington.

"SIHoTiai ooiioiH9 dt HTIinStoH.
One of the kindly suggestions in
President Roosevelt's annual message
Is that there be constructed at Arling-
ton memorial amphitheater, an esti-
mate for the preliminary work on
which is contained in the report of
the secretary of war. Thee Grand
Army of the Republic in its annual
national encampment has recommend
ed such structure as necessary for
the appropriate observance of Me-
mortal Day and as fitting monument
to the soldier and sailor dead buried
In the beautiful cemetery, and the
president heartily concurs in the prop
osition. The old soldiers are getting
fewer and feebler, and when they take
part in the Memorial Day exercises.
says the Troy Times, it is right that
they should be made as comfortable
as possible. That is part of the idea
of erecting such an amphitheater. The
structure would be still more i'm
pressive as honoring the dead at Ar
lington. And it would most aptly
symbolic the reunited nation. Ar.
lington itself was formerly the home
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the knightly
confederate commander, and in its
soil rest not only thousands of union
dead but many who wore the gray and
who afterward served their country
when the call came and was respond
ed to without regard to section or po
litical differences. The Arlington me
mortal should be erected as soon as
possible.

How deep in the bowels of the cart

How deep in the bowels of the earth
must one go to avoid trespassing upor
another's property? That is a ques-
tion which an energetic Jerseyman
proposes to solve. This gentleman
owns land near the terminus of one
of the tunnels being constructed under
the Hudson river, and despite the dis
claimer of the tunnel company sus.
poets that the bore penetrates his
ground. To settle the matter he in
tends to sink artesian wells on his
premises. He may strike water or he
rlay strike the tunnel In the latter
case he thinks he will have case
against the tunnel company. And the
latter is of the opinion that there are
other bores than those connecting
New York and New Jersey.

Charles of Hohenzollern accepted the
crown of Roumania, which was con-
Eerted into a kingly one after the

New Phase.

A new phase Of the celebrated six
teenth section land litigation IS
threatened. While the corps Of depa-
ties from the State Revenue Agent s
office is busily engaged collecting evi-
dence against lessees Of sixteenth
section lands who have removed mer-
chantable timber therefrom, these
lessees are considering the advisable
dty Of bringing suits for damages Oh
the official bonds of members Of thy
boards Of supervisors who granted She
leases, alleging that they were will
fully defrauded; that the leases were
entered into with The explicit under
standing that they carried the right
to remove timber, and the supreme
court decision amounts to nothing
more or less than cold-blooded repu-
diation Of contract.
These threatened suits have caused
n great deal Of uneasiness among per-
sons who have served on the county
boards Of supervisors during the past
ten or fifteen years. It is stated that
able attorneys have been consulted
who express the opinion that in every
instance where the state revenue
agent enforees collections the lessees
have good grounds for action against
the lessors, and a large volume Of re-
taliatory litigation is in prospect.

To Spend Half Million.

The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
road have decided to spend a half
million dollars on The roadbed and
other improvements Of the line be-
tween Jackson and Natchez, known as
the Little J division.
This decision is the result OF the
recent inspection trip made by Presi-
dent. J. 7. Harahan, who found that
the condition Of the road is fully as
bad as set forth in the numerous
complaints recently filed with the
traffic department, and also with shc
railroad commission.
The heaviest steel rails will replace
the old rails now in use between Jack
son and and Natchez, new sidings and
switches viii be built, and the road
will be put in first-class shape, after
which it is expected that better train
service viii be provided, at least two
first-class passenger trains being put
in service. At present the Little J
road has one passenger train and one
mixed accommodation daily.

TONS OF MOLTEN IRON
'howered on Thirty-five Working
men.

Pittsburgh disastrous explosion
occurred at the Eliza furnace Of the
Jones & Laughlin steel works, when
a large quantity Of gas which had
accumulated at the base Of the furn-
aces became ignibed.
Tons of molten metal was showered
around the furnaces for a radius Of
forty feet. Out of force Of thirty
five men employed at the furnace
when Che explosion occurred, three Of
them, John Cramer, Andrew Feather
ka and Gustave Kessler have been
taken to the morgue, their bodies hor-
ribly mutilated by the fire.
Seven men are in hospitals fatally
injured and twenty-four have not been
accounted for. While The mill Of
ficials are inclined to believe that all
of the missing men were not cremated
in the molten metal, nothing definite
is known as to their present wherea-
bouts. Only one man, George Knox,
has turned up since the explosion, and
he says everything happened SO quick
that he doubts whether the men es-
capped.
All information was refused to
newspaper men, the officials saying
that later they might issue astatement
workmen were placed at the yard en-
trance and even the police were pow
erless to get past the foreigners.
Charles Bennett, a yard brakeman,
who was passing near the furnaces on
a train when the explosion occurred,
gave a graphic description Of the dis
aster.
"Our train was right near the fur
mace" said Bennett. "'When the met
al poured out Of the furnace over
the ground saw The men running for
a place of safety. To the right Of the
furnace I saw a party Of ten men, all
Of them running wildly and their
clothing a mass Of flames. Apparent
lv some Of them had been injured
when the explosion occurred, as they
could hardly run, and several Of them
tripped and fell. The metal ran over
them in a moment. Just at this time
a second explosion occurred. / again
looked to the right Of the furnace for
the men, but l could not see any ot
them and l believe all we're buried OF

path Of the metal and / was compelled
to uncouple the train and signal the
engineer to pull ahead. +"

Long Staple Cotton.

Another magnificent price was paid
for cotton in Port Gibson recently
when a lot, embracing about 3OC
bales, was sold. Some Of the lots
brought as high as 26 5-10O cents. But
even this high price was eelipsed .
few days later by one bale bringing
261-4 cents. Certainly Claiborne
county has no superior, in adaptable
ity for the raising Of long-staple cot
ton. The soil is peculiarly fitted for
this class, and producers from a dis
tance who wish 20 enter into this re-
numerative branch of cotton raising
should investigate.

In order to verify the value Of the

the board Of trustees Of the peniten-
kiary has decided to have a new in

srty.
An appraisement was made Of PEN
ktentiary realty and personally just
prior to the retirement Of the old
board Of Messrs. Oliver Clay and
Reedham Ball, two Of The best known
farmers in the state, and, while not
disputing the accuracy Of this invel-
tory, the trustees at the same time
desire TO have i verified BY apprais-
ers OF their own appointment. Ac-
cordingly, arrangements are being
made to this end, ard President Wal

one Of the appraisers. Another selec-
