I STABBED At REUNION
SON or CONFEDERATE GENERAL
HELD BY POLICE.
Storm Drives Heat From Gettysburg,
Brings Relief to $4,000 Swell
tering Veterans.

Gettysburg, Pa.-Seven men were
stabbed in a fight in the dining
room of the Gettysburg Hotel as a
result Of row which started when a
Union veteran resented abuse of Lin.
coin.
The man whom the police charge
with doings the stabbing gave his
name as w. P, Henry, Philadelphia,
He said he was a son Of R. r. Henry,
of Tazewell, Va, a general in the Con-
federate army.
Henry, with one or two companions,
was seated at table and general
talk about the war soon developed
ugly feeling. According to witnesses,
Henry applied an epithet to Abraham
Lincoln. 1t was resented holly by a
Union veteran, who seized glass or
bottle and threw it at Henry.
Immediately there was an uproar,
and Henry, according to member of
the constabulary, jumped to his feet,
drew a knife and began slashing at
those nearest to him. One witness
said Henry chased him around the
room, stabbing him in the arm and
in the back.
Women fed for the doors and
crowded to the windows ready to
jump. The fight was over before the
occupants realized its seriousness.
A roaring stern that swept down
out of the Blde Ridge over the pla-
teau of Gettysburg brought needed
relief to the thousands of veterans
who have sweltered for four days in
an atmosphere that would do credit to
a fireless cooker, but is dangerous in
a city of $4,000 old and weary men.

his father died in Italy Of a broken
heart because of the relations be-
tween the then Lord Compton and
Miss Moss, The young lord revealed
a number of family secrets to the girl
and she threatened to reveal these to

Limiting the application of this to high

This scrutiny and the rectitude 1t

SAVES 400 FROM FLAMES
RUNS HcisT AT MINES WITH
FIRE LAPPlNe HIM.
Engineer, With Hands Blistered and
Hair slnsed, Sticks to Post Until
Every Man Is Safe.

Duquoin, IlI.-Charles Mathis, chief
engineer at the Paradise coal mine,
one and one-half miles east of this
place, saved 400 men from burning to
death in the mine.
For half an hour, while the flames
ragged in the coal chutes a few feet
away, Mathis stood at his post, work
ing the hoist which brought the men
out of the 400-foot shaft where, at any
moment, the fire was likely to break
out. With hands blistered and hair
singed by the furnaee-like heat which
beat on him, he paralleled the deed of
Jim Bludsoe, who held a burning
steamboats, nozzle agin the bank till
the last galoot was ashore"
When all the men had been hoisted
out, or had climbed to safety through
the airshaft, Mathis staggered few
steps from the mouth Of the mine and
fell unconscious. He was carried to
his home. Physicians says he Is in
serious condition.
A moment after Mathis had left his
engine, the cable with which he had
saved the host Of men gave way,
melted by the intense heat.
The tipple OF two coal chutes were
almost over the mouth of the mine.
When fire was discovered in one of
the chutes, it was apparent that the
chutes and the tipple would go.
Mathis at once gave the danger sig
nails to the men in the mine and they
began piling out. Some climbed the
airs shaft, but the greater part had
to RELY on the hoists.
