fact, it appears now, that two such
men called on him last week. They

bank account.
Toward the end of last week the
two dapper young fellows came to Mr.
Meyn asking for savings bank book
and at the same time deposited a $500
check on some bank of which Mr. Meyn
had never heard. Mr.. Meyn accepted
the check and issued the bank book,
but realizing what powerful argu-
ment such bank book would be in
the hands of the unscrupulous against
the unwary when he did not know
whether the check he had in his bank
was worth the paper it was written on.

received a telephone call at the club
urging him to come downtown to close
the deal for the site.
why this hurry? said Mr.. Meyn,
why not wait until Monday?"
The man on the other end of the wire
insisted it was a big deal and fnti-

the inducement.

In his last sentence was the only
mistake Mr.. Meyn made, for he did not
see his customers on Monday, nor have
they shown up since. 1t was also last

went to the Licensed Employment Bu-

wanted to know what there was 'in it

whiting. Ind, June 27.-This city
was afutter with political rumor this
morning to the effect that James
Donegan had received the postmaster
appointment An effort to reach Mr..
Donegan for a verif1cation of the re-
port was fruitless as he was away
from his office. His business partner.

fy the report.
The rumor caused surprise because
the postmastership was in the popular
mind conceded to Judge George w.
Jones. The latter had. however. heard
nothing of his own appointment or
that of any one else yet this morning.
Mr. Donegan is in the coal business.
He is member of the city council and
is a candidate for the democratic may

GAVE FAREWELL MESSAGE.

The following account is from an artl-
Gle by Capt. G. L. kilmer of the Amer-

bayonet The mems faces had grown

many of US were to die. Men turned to
their comrades bidding each other good
by, and with tears trucking down their
cheeks dictat ID messages TO wives, faith
ers, mothers, sisters and sWeethearts, IN
case they should be among the slain and
their comrades survive. | myself re-
ceived a number of such messages.
On the receipt of kthe word to go
the Maine men sprang forward at double
quick, and the moment the first battalion
line appeared above the embankment
where the column formed, the slaughter
began. "Men We're shot dead within the
first five feet" says Capt. F. A. Cum
mings, another survivor. 1.-The crash of
1000 muskets rent the air as a long line
of flame leaped from the works in our
front. and the well known yell of the
Army of Northern Virginia mingled with
the roar of the rebel batteries on our
right and left as their canister followed
the musket balls of the infantry and
tore enormous gaps in our ranks.
BATTALION MELTED AWAY.
''The First battalion melted away be-
fore this fire and lay in heap, officers

care that old, steady regiments We're on
hand ready to support, press and proIit
by any advantage won by the gallant
forlorn hope from the green woods OF
the Penobscot."
FIRST MAINE OBEYED.
The first Maine, which was in the rear
learned that they We're to go IN where
other troops had failed. The key to the
Confederate line lay in front of the First
Maine, 500 yards distant. The inter
vening space was an open field, rising
slightly toward the enemy. The Con-
federate batteries on both sides of the
salient, and the infantry as we'll could
rake the ground over which the column
was to charge.
Gen. McAllister was at the time tenn
porarily commanding another brigade,
and on attempting an assault with this
command over the very ground where
the First Maine was to lead, his men fell
like forest leaves under hail Storm"
and he gave it up.
When he learned what was on foot
with his own brigade, he said: "God
help them! They cannot advance on
those works. they cannot live. The en-
filade fire will cut them down..
A FORLORN HOPE.
In full knowledge of this, all excepting
the fact that they were to 60 forward
alone, and that the regiments behind and
on each side were not to move on until
the forlorn hope had broken through the
enemy's line, the Maine boys made ready
for the terrible work.
Major Low said afterwards of the
scene: "When the men saw what was
expected of them, shall never forget
what took place. Knapsacks were taken
off and thrown into pile and bayonets
fixed.
