she was as silent as an Indian. Now
and again, as she dressed, she looked
at herself closely. .,almost anxiously, in
OF her forefnger she occasionally
brushed away a fog OF tears which
blinded her. And then she hurried
down the stairs, out the back door and
across the lawn TO Mrs. Winthrop's
baby, who was playing under the lilac
hedge.
bye, Hilma," he called, waving his
fat little hand and holding up a spray
OF white lilac.
The girl took him in her arms for
second. burying her face in his chubby
neck. "Tank you, little Yon." she
murmured in her poor. broken Eng
lish. "Hilma love sweet little boys
yust like YOU" and putting him gently
from her she took the spray Of lilacs
and hurried away.

Mrs. Winthrop Indignantly 20 her hus-
band. "If Hilma had known was

GLADDENED BY
FALL OF COR|NTH
Thirtieth of May, 1862, Was a
Day of Great Rejoicing in
the North.
v,HE thirtieth of May in 1862 was

JTsHE thirtieth Of May in 1862 was
made memorable in Civil war his
tory by the evacuation Of Corinth
Miss. The seizure of this Confederate
stronghold by the Union armies was
an event which, estimated by its re-
suits, may be regarded as the first i'm
portant event Of the war. Since the
first of May Halleck had been. trying
to gain possession Of this stronghold,
which, at that time, was held by Beau
regard. In the meantime Old Farm
ington, the strongly fortified outpost
OF the Confederacy, about four miles
from Corinth, had been given up; Mar
maduke who had been in command
there, had retired to Corinth to re-
enforce Beauregard. The Union
forces had taken possession Of Old
Pennington, had cut off Beauregards
railroad connections to the north and
east and had, by the twenty-ninth of
May, succeeded in working their way
to a position near the Confederate
Notifications at Corinth, from which
an assault could be made.
1t was Halleck's intention to make
an assault on the following morning,
and he was expecting to meet with
strong resistance. But Halleck's eX-
pectations were not realized. All night
long the pickets and sentinels heard a
continuous roar Of moving cars in
Corinth. At early dawn Halleck sent
out skirmishers, but no foe appeared
to oppose them. He then ordered
Sherman TO advance with his troops
toward the Confederate Notifications
and to feel the enemy" But no en-
emy could be found. Where was he?
Out near Old Pennington there still
stands a tall tree which today is
pointed out TO sightseers who visit
Corinth as Lookout Tree J." From the
top of this tree the Union spies, at the
time of the siege. with a field glass
used to observe the movements Of the
Confederate troops
The morning of the thirtieth Of May
1862, these spies saw only the rear of
Beauregard's army far to the south OF
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail-
road. The enemy whom Sherman had
been sent TO feel" had escaped. The
city had been evacuated and left as
prize OF war to the Union army.
On this thirtieth of May there was
much rejoicing in the northern states.
for all through the month of May the
people there had been awaiting the
outcome Of this siege. On the follow
ing morning there appeared in the
New York Tribune a long editorial be-
ginning thus:
Another stronghold Of the rebels
has fallen Corinth Is reannexed 20
the Union. and Beauregards army is
flying down the Mobile railroad In
anxious search for the last ditch
This tells the story. Soon after the
thirtieth OF May of the preceding year
the battle OF Bull Run had given the
Confederates a strong footing in the
East, but since the beginning Of the
year 1862 the Union forces had been
gaining a series Of victories in the
Mississippi valley: Pea Ridge. Shiloh,
Island Number Ten. New Madrid and
Fort DonelsoD had prepared the way

DOCTOR AND TWO WOMEN IN PERIL
 AS CARS COLLIDE
pr. McCarthy's Automobile Damaged When Derby
 Machine Hits 1t.

A serious accident was narrowly averted at 1 o'clock this morning when an automobile driven by pr. Daniel J. Mccarthy of 778 Washington avenue and occupied by Miss Grace Sheridan of 407 William street, a teacher in the local public schools, and Miss Eliza beth Mccarthy, a sister of the physi- elan, was run into at the corner of Connecticut and Bishop avenues by large touring car driven by John Shee- hy of 58 Chapel street, Derby, Conn.
 It is believed that the collision was caused by the Derby machine skidding on the wet Warrenfte pavement at this point. The machine of Dr. Mccarthy was damaged and had to be lowed to a nearby garage. Fortunately none of the occupants was injured.
 Sheehy was placed under arrest by Policeman Harry Howell who arrived son, the scene shortly after the col ision. In the city court this morning the case was continued until tomorrow by Judge Frederic A. Bartlett and 1t is believed that the charge of reckless driviGsA held against Sheehy will be no1led.
 pr. Mccarthy was visiting the home of his brother in Ansonia last evening and he took the Misses Sheridan and Mccarthy with him on the trip. He was returning home when the accident occurred.
