Yankee Cavalry Against Virginia
ChfyaIry.


The GOODNESS and courage with which
some Of the Virginia women are en-
lowed is a fact which has been too Of
ten and too brilliantly Illustrated to ad-
nit OF any doubt. During the rebel
lion, a Union cavalry straggler. after
vainly ransacking the outbulldings Of
a plantation in search of corn, ap-
preached the door in which a young
lady was standing, and demanded that
"some of the grain, which he knew was
concealed in the house should be given
him." I'VE have none," was the reply.
"Stand aside until l go in and see for
myself" he rudely retorted at the same
time whipping out of its sheath heavy
Colts revolver. No sooner done than
the fair virginian planted herself firm
Iy in the doorway, drew small re-
peater from her full aud throbt ag
bosom, and deliberately aiming it at
the intruder's head, exclaimed:

this house and you are a dead mani"

exhibition of bravery. the s-5oper turn

aware, at the time. that the maiden
who thus placed a check upon his
movements was the betrothed of George
b. Davis, a nephew Of Jeff's, who dis
charged her pocket pistol with an &C.
curacy which had made her famous in
that locality.

Civil War n Titanic Contest.

The titanic nature of che struggle be-
tween the States from 1861 TO 1865 is
slowly dawning upon the world In
the annals of warfare it was the most
deadly CONFLICT ever known.
Self-preservation. the first law of ma
ture, compelled the North TO put forth
its strength to the limit of possibili-
ties, while the South, once committed
to the dream of successful rebellion,
fought with the mad courage of desper-
ate resolve.
For four years the warfare was un-
ceasing. The Northern soldiers suffer
ed severely from the Southern climate
and the diseases engendered in an I'M
accustomed way of life as well, while
the killed and wounded numbered, in
the Union army alone, 3S5,245. or
these, 109,S93 were killed outright on
the field of battle; 100, 720 died from
diseases while the war was going on.
A death roll of 319,613
Comparing the two great battles, Wa
terloo and Gettysburg, military writer
draws attention to the fact that, while
the same number of men were on the
field in these battles, $4,000 all told,
the losses at Gettysburg exceeded the
losses at Waterloo, considering the cas-
ualties to the troops actually engaged.
At Waterloo tie losses were 1886, and
at Gettysburg 5O,52S. 1t is remembered
that $4,000 men (the Sixth Corpse were
not engaged at Gettysburg except for a
short time, early on the morning il
July 2. This runs up the percentage of
losses in the American battle, consid-
ering the number of men engaged.
Throughout the Civil War the loss
OF life on both sides was frightful.
Looked at even now. after the lapse of
years, the record is dreadful to con-
| template. In the Union army there
were seventy-five regiments whose losss
es ran from 80 to So per cent.
Pickett. the Confederate general. led
5000 brave men in his great charge at
Gettysburg, and in thirty minutes lost
in killed. wounded and prisoners, 5000.
The First Minnesota went into action
at Gettysburg with 262 officers and
men. 1t lost 224 killed and wounded
The Twentieth Massachusetts,, at Fred
ericksburg, lost over 6S per cent of its
membership, and came out of the fight
commanded by a captain who was, In
years, a mere boy.
The bloodiest battle of the Civil War
was Antietam, and the losses were the
most appalling in short space of time
unless we except Cold Harbor, where
the Union forces lost A coo men in eight
minutes.
When we see the veterans in their
parades, or engaged in their work along
the ordinary ways of life. distinguish
ed only by the bronze buttons that some
of them wear, we do not realize what
these men have gone through.
We have all been taught to respect
and honor them, but it is only when we
look at the records of death and devo-
ton which are written in the books OF
the nation, but left, for the most part
unread, That we realize what it meant

md more a burden. In defense of
the municipal plant it is cited that
electricity is within the reach of the
general public and that the city has
light in great abundance.
There has been a suggestion that
Richmond buy or build a waterworks
plant, but very few indorse a plan of
this kind. and there is some doubt as
to whether the public would again
vote for ownership of light plant in
view of what has developed since the
vote was so overwhelmingly for it,
The Palladium has ascertained that
the story came from the same source
as the one which was sent from Rich
mond to the Indianapolis News. con-
corning the local light plant situa-
ton, and which Billy" Blodgett al
legged was one of a series of letters
sent out by the light trusts news bu-
reau According to Blodgett, the
Richmond Light, Heat and Power COM
pany is a part of the light trust try
ing to get control of numerous plants
in the state, and which has as one of
its first objects, the destruction of mu-
nicipal ventures.
Yesterday Manager Lane was asked
by the Palladium if he was aware of
his company's efforts to frame public
opinion on municipal ownership by
such articles. He said that he was
not, and was emphatic in his denial of
any such bureau.
incidentally 1t might be said that
Manager Lane is as thoroughly oppos-
ed 10 municipal ownership as Z. Z.
Witherby, whose acquaintance Rich
mond made some time back, ever dar-
ed to be. Manager Lane is ever
ready to set forth the reasons why
Richmond should sell her plant and
from his talk yesterday it could be
seen that the syndicate which controls
the Light, Heat and Power plant. has
not yet given up entirely the hope of
some day buying up the Municipal
light plant

Two Arrests Made YESTERDAY
and the Case Was Appealed
from City Court.
SITUATION ON THE D. & w.
THAT ROAD HAS QUIT CARRYING
FREIGHT IN OR OUT OF THE
cITY-LEGAL ACTION TO BE
TAKEN.

Inat the board of works INTENDS to
enforce the ordinance prohibiting the
carrying of freight on Main street by
the interurban railways was made ev-
ident yesterday morning when two ar
rests of the freight car employees were
made. Oliver Z. HILL motorman and
Riley Cook. conductor of the Indiana
polls and Eastern freight car that ar
rived at $50 a. M. from Greenfield
were arrested by patrolmen Winters
and Lawler and taken before City
Judge, Will Converse. They entered
pleas of not guilty but agreed that no
evidence should be introduced and
the records showed finding of gull
ty. They were given fines of $40 and
costs.
Both Cook and Hill said that they
expected TO be arrested upon their ar
rival in Richmond yesterday morning
but that they had no orders to vary
from the usual schedule. Conductor
Cook was arrested and released Satur-
day for the violation of the same Or
dinance
John F. Robbins, attorney of the In
dianapolis and Eastern, filed an APP
peal bond to insure the appearance
in circuit court of the defendants on
the first day of the April term of
court, or at any other term that may
be agreed upon. Many thing the de-
cision that the circuit court may hand
down will not, however, be the solu-
ton of this question. The city Off
Gals are not worrying about the out
come of the question. They say that
if the Indianapolis and Eastern Off
Gals are willing TO keep on paying
fines for all of their employees ar
rested it will be all we'll and good
that test case be made of the or
dinance.
The Dayton and Western officials
are pursuing a different policy from
that of the Indianapolis and Eastern.
They have declared that no more
freight will be hauled to or from Rich
mond and have issued orders to that
effect How long they will be allow
ed to operate their lines with this
discrimination made against the Rich
mond freight business will depend
much upon the length of the illness
of Prosecutor Jessup who is expected
to take action as soon as he RECEIVERS.
