THE FALL OF LlEGE
General Van Leman Brave and Loyal
to the Last.
(To Be Continued }

General Van Leman Brave and Loyal
to the Last.
This is the story Of the fall Of Liege
in the simple, graphic language OF a
German officer told to a Dutch report
er:
General Lemans defense Of Liege
combined all that is noble, all that is
tragic. The commander Of one fort at
a moment when the bombardment was
heaviest, went mad and shot his own
men. He was disarmed and bound.
The cupola Of another fort was de-
stroyed by bomb from Zeppelin.
"Other forts were swept away like
sand castles on the seashore before the
relentless waves Of our 11inch guns.
"As long as possible General Leman
inspected the forts daily to see that
everything was in order. A piece Of
falling masonry, dislodged by our guns
crushed both Of General Leman's legs.
Undaunted, he visited the forts in an
automobile. Fort Chaudfontenin was
destroyed by a German shell dropping
in the magazine.
aIn the strong Fort Loncin General
Leman decided to hold his ground or
die. Steadily his gunners were shot
down, and he himself helped to man
the guns. For some time, with mere
handful of men he held out, but moth
ing could have stood against the hail
Of shells from our guns.
when the end was inevitable the
Belgians disabled the last three guns
and exploded the supply Of shells kept
in readiness. Before this General Le-
man destroyed all plans, maps and pa
pers relating to defenses. Food sup
plies were also destroyed
with about 100 men, General Le-
man attempted to retire to a higher
fort, but we had cut off their retreat.
BY this time our heaviest guns were in
position, and a well-placed shell tore
through the cracked and battered ma
sonry and exploded in the main maga-
zines.
Pieces Of stone and concrete 25|
cubic metres in size were hurled into
the air. When the dust and fumes
passed away we stormed the fort across
ground literally strewn with bodies Of
the defenders.
All the men in the fort were wound
ed Most were unconscious. A cor
poral with one arm shattered valiantly
tried to drive us back by firing his
rifle.
Buried in debris and pinned beneath
massive beam was General Leman.
lie General I Est Mort" said an
aid e-camp with gentleness With
care which showed our respect for the
man who had resisted us so valiantly
and stubbornly, our infantry released
the generals wounded form and car
ried him away. We thought him dead,
but he recovered consciousness, and
looking around, said:
1T is as it is. The men fought va
liantly.'
Then turning to us, he added:
Put it in your dispatches that Il
was unconscious
We brought him to our commander,
General Won Emmich, and the two gen.
erals saluted. We tried to speak words

The ST. Nicholas, one Of the line Of
steamers, running between Baltimroe
and Washington, was taken as prize
on last Saturday morning about ]
O'Clock. near where the Potomac emp
ties into the Chesapeake Bay. This be-
ing one of the most romantic and
splendid incidents of the campaign, we
feel disposed to give ii in detail, and
hope you will bear with us. The scheme
was concocted by Col. Thomas, of Vir-
ginia, and Capt. Hollins, formerly of
the United States army. The colonel
went to Baltimore and took passage
with twenty or thirty pretended New
York Zouaves, as an old French lady
being dressed la mode Parisienne:
and the captain got on at Lookout
Point, some distance below on the
route They recognized each other with
instant alacrity; and holding con-
versation in French, which both speak
huently, perfected their arrangements.
The lady then retired to her apartment
and reappearing in full uniform, with
sabre and pistols flashing, and sur
rounded by the Zouavcs, demanded the
surrender of the boat. The crew and
passengers being made prisoners, and
the vessel placed in charge Of Capt.
Hollins, they proceeded to the mouth of
Cone river, where they landed the
prisoners and took on board 100 Ten
nesseeans with the intention of hunting
up the Pawnee and makig her prize.
This, the most brilliant part of the
plan, however, failed; for, after cruis-
ing up the Potomac until they were
weary, not finding their intended prey,
they tackled about and steamed off
down the river. After entering the
Chesapeake they overhauleda brig and
two schooners-one laden with $500

bags Of coffee, another with ice and
third with anthracite coal. The ves-
sells and cargo were carried up the
Rappahannock to fredericksburg; and
are estimated to be worth $3I5,OOO.
Some forty prisoners were taken with
the last three prizes.
Yesterday, the 4th, was celebrated by
us very quietly, Notwithstanding the
amount of cannon firing toward Wash
ington, which on any other day, would
have produced any amount OF stir and
excitement The morning was spent by
the boys in writing letters and stroll
ling about the camp, foraging an
bathing. In the afternoon we were re-
viewed by Beauregard. We went
through quite number Of manoeuvers
before him; and at the conclusion, his
girl-like modesty forbidding him to say
a word to us, he requested Col. Jen-
kins to say to his men that he was not
only entirely pleased, but actually sur
prised at the performance.

fore had so good look at him as yes

Of heavy thought and deep RESPONSE

into his wondrous eyes sends a thrill
to the very marrow bones. You recog-

strange men Of a century, gifted with
almost preternatural powers, whom
we term genuises.-His very modesty
and quiet, almost unconscious sense OF

The subtle speed, the vivid grandeur,
and the sudden, terror waking power
of lightning are about him.

Gastonia Gazette, Sept. 18: What ap-

and most daring deeds in the criminal
history Of GaStonia, was perpetrated
near the Armstrong mill, in the south
ern section Of the city, yesterday after
noon about / o'clock, when two white
men waylaid and robbedanother white
man and, few minutes later, a negro.
The perpetrators of this crime were
Dillard Scruggs and Sanders Hudson.
both of whom have unsavory reputa-
tons, having served sentences on the
county chaingang more than once.
Scruggs was released from the convict
camp no longer ago than Monday of

a somewhat similar offenSe. When
their records are considered, together
with the further fact that they are ap-
parently under the influence of whisky,
the boldness of their deeds yesterday
is partially explained. 80. Rev. Geo.

LET FIRST LEASE ON
BUCKSK|N MARY

D. r. Dwyer, who has taken a
lease ON the Buckskin Mary area in
the National Buckskin mining dis
trict, will leave for Los Angeles to-
morrow evening on business and to
pay social visit TO some prominent
friends Dwyer is one of the consist
ent standbys of the mining aims of
northern Humboldt county and has
been successful in mine development
aud flotations requiring capital in or
der to make producing properties.
He has at present deal pending
upon the excellent silver-lead proper
ty controlled by Harroun, johnson
and Dwyer with big mining interests
cf Tonopah and his up-to-date ad-
vices are that the deal will be made
and that the consummation of same
will bring about the change of $780,
600 for the property.
With the Lander county property
off his hands he is active in other di-
rectiens and as an original National
ite he knows the wealth of the Ma
tional Buckskin mining district and
as a consequence actively enters in
to the mine making game on the
Buckskin Mary ground, which as a
nelghbOr OF Senator Bells property
and the National Buckskin Mines
companv's area and is ideally located
for the making of rich producing
mine
The block under lease to Dwyer has
shaft so feet deep with $151 ore in
place, and every condition that by
following this grade to logical con-
clusion that much ore will be pro
duced under the Dwyer aim and direc-
tion and great profit attained there
from by the Dwyer interests.
Dwyer in his trip into sunny south
ern California will make more than
social soiree. He will let those retir-
ed capitalists have proper view
point of the rich opportunities, past
and present, of the National Buck
skin Mary district. The new Dwyer
undertaking from a legitimate mine
viewpoint has merit.

MADAME SHERRY
AT NIXON SUNDAY

Madame Sherry, the brightest and
most tuneful musical comedy of many
seasons, will be with us next Sunday
night at the Nixon. The Madame,
world famous for its charming mel
ody, seems to have lost none of its
hold on popular favor, as this is the
third consecutive season that the
pretty girl show has amused innumer-
able thousands. In the wake of 9th
er seasons, Madame Sherry is remem-
bered for its efficient splendor, its un-
paralleled scenic equipment, its per-
feet ensemble and the corps of un-
rivalled principal singers. From first
to last Sherry is a laugh producer,
and the fun is hurried along by com
plications arising out of man S love
for maid. The pretty romance of
the story asserts itself at proper in
tervals, just enough to sustain the
piquancy of the French farce, and
the enchanting melody of music that
thrills with the breath of gaiety un-
restrained, of love, of hate, of all the
passions that man can know.
The bewitching strain of every
Lite Movement brings to mind the
edict of the sage, "That sparkling
music, no sentiment can run the
gamut of human emotion with MIN
bier tread'
Heading the capable aggregation of
musical celebreties is Bobby Wool
sey, who in his favorite character of
Theophilus Sherry should be long and
pleasantly remembered. Among the
support are Lucille Palmer, Clarence
Lydston, Grace Duval, Jack Pollard,
Edna Robinson, Wallace Mcdonald,
Georgia Knowlton and Louis Rich
niond The chorus of singing and
dancing coryphees is always a bright
feature with Madame Sherry.
