and over fifty miles from wood and
water. This wood and water were in a
lower country, where there was only
one gap which would furnish descent
into the valley, and that had to be
reached by careful attention to direc-
ton.
Starting early and getting the point
OF the wind, we had not gone far be-
fore old Boreas began his revels. Gen.
eral Carr, Of course, gave orders to
the commanding officers Of companies
IN regard to preventing drowsiness of
the men and to Quirt them in case Of
any Of them ~succumbing to the cold.
I shall long remember that trip, for 1t
was necessary for me to go by the
wind and not finch from it, for in the
binding blizzard we would all soon be
lost. The direction brought the wind
against my left ear, and, as the storm
soon became so binding that even a
black horse could not be seen ten feet
from the picket ropes, lariat lines were
scattered along to guide the men, who
kept SO close almost as to touch each
horses tail. But I dared not change
my position for fear Of losing the d.
rection, so for eight hours I held my
left cheek and ear against the storm
and, of course, suffered greatly from
frostbite. I dared not dismount, as
did many Of the others, General Carr
himself walking nearly all the dis
lance, leading his horse. I had stuffed
my a with a piece of saddle blanket,
but Notwithstanding that the eardrum
was frozen, and for a time it gave me
intense pain and suffering, and up to
the present day it has quite affected
my hearing on that side. But by this
pertinacity we reached the gap, and
when I had made the point success
fully and the descent down into the
canyon became assured there were
never 1900 men who let out such
yells and paeans of JOY.
On another occasion l had a very try
ing experience when General Penrose's
command had been sent to reconnoiter
the surrounding country by General
Sheridan and were known to have been
somewhere in a blizzard. Not hearing
from them for several days, we knew
they were up against It, but as all
trails were covered and obliterated by
the drifting snow it was a serious
problem to find them. General Carr, Of
course, consulted with me in the mat.
ter, and he relates the incident In de-
tail in "Carr's Campaigns" Of my sue
cess In finding the men. In this in
stance, knowing in what direction they
had gone, I had to travel fifteen miles
to find a ridge that they would cross
and that the storm would blow the
snow away from and leave bare. Fol-
lowing this ridge for five miles or
more, I found the trail Of their horses
and wagons where they had crossed
and by the hoof tracks located the d.
rection in which they had gone. I sue
ceeded in reaching them, showed in
and in a terrible condition, for every
thing had been eaten up to such an
extent that the horses and mules had
eaten the names and tails off each
other. Returning the next day. relief
was sent, and the commands became
reunited.

Consequently the scout on duty was

to assist him in emergency. And
when some extremely dangerous mis-

often puzzled the commander by re-

part OF discretion to do So, as going

one and had what is called a lead

mans presence or the proximity Of the
military. One of my ruses was to
take with me a bugler Of the Fifth
cavalry named Kershaw, who devel-
oped a capacity for c%omradeship in
such adventures. Kershaw, after re-
firing from the army, became chief of

ELECTION TO COST $4,000,

Ihe last of the ballots for the special
election by which will be decided
whether the people of New Jersey want
change in their constitution, and
thus make it simpler to transact the
business of the court, and place the
judiciary system more on line with
the States who have modernized theirs
will be shipped within a few days.
The work would have been done some
time ago but for the fact that it has
been impossible to get the ballots from
the printers fast enough. There has
been SO much other State work on
hand that all the departments, nearly,
are behind in their reports, so far as
distribution goes to the general public.
Within the past week only the bound
volumes of laws passed during the last
session were distributed among the de-
partments, and there is no telling
when all the lawyers will get theirs.
In consequence of this rush of work
all the ballots have not yet been turned
over to the office of the Secretary of
State. The principal point is that
they will be ready for use when the
election day arrives.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
election will be S75, 900. The largest
item is for election officers. They will
receive So for their days work, as
they will have double duty to perform,
as it will be a registry day. This item
will amount to SAB, 1885, The cost of
printing the ballots will be SIS, 900.
The rental expenses for polling places
will be about $4,000 The cost of
expressage will be about $500.

Stokes Home on SUNDAY.
The Trenton State Gazette saws.


Ihe announcement that former Gov
ernor Stokes will arrive in Hoboken
next Sunday afternoon is exceedingly
disappointing to his friends, who had
planned to give him big ovation
when his ship finally came home to
America from Europe, where he has
been since August 7.
The Republican leaders of the yarious
counties wanted to show their apprecia-

ne come home on any other day of the
week a large party of enthusiastic Re-
puolicans would have been found down
the bay on a yacht to welcome him

Mr. Stokes being one of the strong
gubernatorial candidates year hence,
his friends wanted to give him a big
ovation. Hence their disappointment

PARK BADLY
BEATEN TUESDAY.

The Southwark team Tuesday after
noon had their revenge upon the Park
team for the defeat of last Saturday in
Philadelphia. Manager O'Neil said he
would bring team here to win from
the Park and he would have a pitcher
to do it. He did, The pitcher was
upon the score book as Carter. His
name is Slaughter. That is no joke.
He did slaughter the Park batsman all
light, but that is his name and he is
the crack pitcher of the Amber, Pa,
team. Smith the ex-Millville catcher
was brought along, together with two
other Amber players. This made a
strong, fast fielding, hard hitting com.
bination.
Eliminate the third inning yesterday
and the game would have been a
beauty. In the third the visitors
simply hammered Steinader all over
the lot, 8 clean hits and Z runs being
made. Then Brown took up the bur-
den and for the following six innings
there were but six hits made with one
run scored.
In the meantime Slaughter pitched
remarkable ball. He had wonderful
speed, perfect control, a puzzling cross
fire, a sharp in break and a deceptive
drop. The first nine men went out in
order, the most of them by the strike,
out route. Not a Park man reached
first base until the 9Th, when Camp

team. <
