ELOQUENT AMERICANS.

Silver-Tongued Statesmen Who Attract Much Attention in the Senate. Mazmejß of Qreat Political Leaden and i 'iiSw They Talk in the Upper House. [Washington correspondence.] There are several Senators in this city any of whom can draw a crowded house by announcing that he will ask the Senate to hear him on a certain day, and by accompanying this announcement with the intimation that he Intends to pitch into something or somebody; and if he makes the intimation quite sharp, thus affording ground for belief that he will be pitched into also, public interest in the event will be largely increased and the galleries are certain to be crowded. Ladies can't, with any sort of propriety, go to see a prize-fight, but there is nothing to forbid their listening to two Senators abuse each other, and when due notice is given of such a set-to the fair sex turns out well. On the Democratic side one of the Sena:tors who is most relied upon in debates of national importance is Senator Gray, of Delaware. In the debate on the Blair educational bill he demonstrated his right to lead--ership. It was generally conceded that his

SENATOR GRAY.

argument against that bill served to kill it in the House. Sector Gray has a resonant voice and an easy method of delivery. As ho is a comparatively young Senator, but iB destined, if he lives, to take front rank among the orators of that body. On the Republican side of the Chamber Senator Plumb is one of the most effective speakers. Ho talks fast, disdaining all tho ■ studied effects of oratory, but he always speaks to the point, and if he were engaging m target practice in tho wild prairies of Kansas it could bo properly said of him that ho hits tho bull’s-eye every time. Ho is in nowise choice about words when he wants to condemn and abuse. Ho strikes sledgehammer blows, and when he means to ■depict anything as black he says blaok. He talks very fast, so fast that tho best stenographer of the Senate can scarcely keep pace with him, because he says what ho means; or. to use a prize-ring phrase, he strikes right from the shoulder. There aro no fanciful frills about his speeches. They are mado up of straightforward Western logic, and if anybody does not understand Senator Plumb it is because he is ignorant of forcible English. ■

Senator Morgan is one of the most fluent public 'men of the day. He is an easy, graceful talker', with a wonderful command of language. Ho is one of the fastest talkers in the Senate, though every word is distinctly uttered, because ho has never to stop for an instant for words to exprosshis ideas. He is lucid, too. Ho renders his subject clear and intelligible as he proceeds. Senator Hoar is deliberate and scholarly in his efforts. His speeches usually read better than they sound, because his voice, when raised to the tone necessary in public :H}>eaking, becomes harsh. He is not much ,given to gestures, but when excitod he has a way of drawing his mouth, oven while speaking, that means a good deal in the way of fiery energy and earnestness. Senator Dawes does not deliver many set ■ speeches, but he has a good deal to say in the running debates, particularly if there is •an Indian question involved. His voico is • anything but musical. It has a grating sound that would completely upset a nervous person. Senator Dawes has a habit while talking in the Senate of continually scan:ning the galleries. Ho gestures by throwing his arms straight out to the front vigorously.

Senator Manderson, without any attempt at oratorical effect, in an easy, pleasing and natural manner, is always entertaining and instructive. There is an air of candor and sincerity about him that commands respectful attention. His voice possesses a pleasing softness that is entirely masculine, •and he can always count upon commanding the attention of his associates. Senator Edmunds, the leader of the majority in the Senate, does not attach much

weight to set speeches and long arguments. His His speeches are, as a rule, very brief and altogether impromptu. But then he is cock-sure of re-election as long as he wants to remain in the Senate, and does not need to talk for, home consumption. His delivery is methodical and impressive. He never gets excited, but ho is quite a master in the use of cutting sarcasm when ' he finds it necessary.

Senator Stewart is like the ready letter •writer in one respeet—he is always ready to 4alk. No matter what the subject may be, he wants to be heard. ■ His seat is in the last row on the Republican side, but lie rarely ever begins a speech there. When a debate opens he is on the alert for an opening, and he gradually moves forward until he gets near th« centre aisle. Theh, when he can obtain recognition, he starts in a loud tone, and with both arms swinging in the air like the arms of awindmilL He rarely ever stops until entirely run down. Senator Harris, now one of the most influential Democratic leaders, is a vigorous talker. He never engages in debate unless he considers the subject of importance. He has a plain practical method of submitting his views and opinions that invariably commands attention. He is earnest, even to the appearance of has a -clear, ringing voice and marks his periods by bringing down his right hand. He is -conceded to be, by both sides of the chamber, the best parliamentarian of the body, and rarely fails to succeed in obtaining votes enough to pass any measure he takes charge of. His eloquence, whether exerted in public or in private, is usually potent -enough to procure all the votes necessary. Senator Don Cameron rarely essays to “speak in public on the stage,” rod he would

escape these few exhibitions if, like a school boy. he could play “hookey." He has no confidence in his oratory; admits that he was not cut out for a public speaker. Now and then he feels it to be imperative to make a speech, but he invariably reads from manuscript, and in a tone so low that the official reporter cannot hear him. But when he wants votes for any bill he can get them on both sides of the chamber, which goes to show that eloquence is not an essential qualification of our public men. Senator Hawley is perhaps the fastest

of the upper branch of Congress, but since his promotion from the lower house ho has been deferentially respectful to that unwritten rule which prescribes that new members shall remain in the background for a time. He has never sought to force himself upon public attention. The only speech he has made in the Benate was his brief response to the attack made upon him by Senator Ingalls in the memorable onslaught of the latter upon Hancock, McClellan, and the South. On that occasion Senator Blackburn, in an impromptu speech of but a few minutes, on a subject that was suddenly presented to him, manifested his powers of the real orator in a manner that won for him the applause of his entire party. He is the strong reserve force of his party in the Senate. Senator Bowen, of Colorado, whoso constituents all call him “Tom,” oven including those for whom he has procured appointments hero, and he says he would not recognize them if they wero any more formal In addressing him, does not take much stock in eloquence as an element of Congressional duty. Now and then whep the silver question is uppermost he unrolls a lot of manuscript, but nothing less commanding than silver can unlock his eloquence. Even in dealing with the silver question he says he believes in plain, practical, incontrovertible truth. Senator Bowen is one of the most independent members of that high-toned body. He does not talk often, but when the silver quoetion comes forward and ho wants to speak he is entirely willing to excuse all who do not care to hear him. Senator Ingalls has become more conspicuous during the present session than any other speaker of the body. His power lies in severe invective, and, unless he has a stimulating subject liko politics his speeches aro not of any great interest. His speeches have all involved him in personal controversies. Senator Beck is one of the old reliables of the Democratic side. Ho ignores all oratorical effects and goes straight tb the point. He talks fast, but has tho faculty of mixing up his papers of reference. In the midst of an earnest speech he will begin to toss over the papers on his desk, and in a sort of aside say, “Wait a minute; I’ve got that thing hero, somewhere." Hois homoly in all his efforts, but honest and effective, and more than that, well informed on any subject he undertakes to discuss. Senator Gall is an ever-ready talker. No subject is permitted to reach a final vote until he lias a whack at it. Ho is very solemn in stylo, earnest in voice and impressivo in gesture, usually emphasizing each period of a sentence by bringing down the forefinger of the right hand. Senator Vest is relied upon by the Democrats to take up the gauntlet at any time that it may be thrown down by tho Bepublicans, and he is a champion whose koen-

est weapons of logic, satire amd ridiculo arc always at command. If he had a voice proportionate with his abilities he could bo one of the groatest orators of the day, but in listening to him the auditor forgets any vocal defects. Senator Blair is one of the “always-ready” sort; he can talk at a mark or against time, but has a sing-song way of speaking that does not fill the galleries. Senator Brown never speaks unless on some subject that is of direct importance to his immediate const.itutents—thon he obtains leave to sit down while reading his speech, and he reads it in a mumbling tono that cannot bo heard at the Clerk’s desk. But as ho is always careful about revision and sees that the speech is circulated in proper shape among his constituents he accomplishes his object. Senator Voorhees. of course, is not to be omitted from any list of Senatorial honors. He has been a public speaker of national fame for many years. His powers as an orator are too well known to need any description, as he has boen in public life for many years, to say nothing of his political addresses in ovory campaign for his party. Senator Cockrell eschews set speeches, but he is one of the most diligent members of Congress, and fully informs himself as to every subject that comes even including private bills. Ho is always listened to, because Senators who are not so diligent realize that they will learn the merits of the case under consideration by listening to

MR. EDMUNDS.

Senator Cockrell. Ho does not aspire to be an orator, but wants to be a legislator, and in that he is a success. Senator Evarts has not made any great mark as an orator in the body of which he is now a member. Ho speaks in a jerky way and still follows the habit of constructing long sentences. It is difficult, even after listening attentively to

him, to decide which side of the leading question he espouses. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, is an orator who will add to his fame in future Senate debates. He is yet but a new Senator, and he pays due observance to the traditions of the body requiring new men to remain in the background for a time. But his tormi of probation Is about out, and his friends may expect to hoar from him before the ex« piration of the Fiftieth Congress.

talker in the Senate; certainly one of the fastest His words follow as if in hot chase one of the other. He cannot be called either a pleasing or an entertaining speaker. He becomes entirely too much absorbed in his subject and talks too fast, though nobody will quesrhis earnestness or sincerity. Senator Blackburn is really one of the orators

MAIL ROBBERS CAUGHT

Over i Million Dollara in Sjcuritiei Found in the Possession of Ohicajo Thieves. The Railroad Millionaire of the Pacific Coast Passes Away at Monterey. Amelie Elves’ Tragedy—Anthor of the “Quick or the Dead” Ventures Deeper. [Chicago special dispatch.] Two of the most Important arrests mads In Chicago in a long time were those of Fred Oberkampf and Thomas F. Mack. The former is an unmarried man, aged about 29. well educated, speaking several languages, and dresses well. He represented himself to bethe assistant superintendent of an insurance company to the lady where'be roomed. Running behind on his rent, he gave his landlady a forged check, which was the direct cause of his arrest and the examination of his effects. His two “grips" were found to contain a large amount of letters, packages, etc., evidently stolen from the maile, as the stamps had all been torn off and there were no postmarks. Several, letters were found on the prisoner and also two checks, one for *I,OOO and one for *B3. At first the prisoner denied everything, but finally confided to an officer the identity of his partner, whi gives the name of Thomas F. Mack. The latter was arrested when about starting on a fishing jaunt with his wife aud another lady. Mock submitted quietly, and accompanied the officer back to his home and turned over to him a bundle of papers. These papers proved to be checks, Insurance policies, trust deeds, title deeds, etc. The prisoner declared that he knew nothing about tnem and that he was only taking care of them for Oberkampf. He admitted, finally, that Oberkampf had a key with which he opened the postal boxes on the streets, and also that he had shared with him the money obtained on the forged check. i Oberkampf has admitted having robbed the Chicago mail boxes, and says he has only kept a few of the letters and securities—that he was In. ihe habit of destroying them. The property in checks, drafts, deeds, stock, etc., recovered, represents about *1,000,000, the checks and drafts alone amounting to over *IOO,OOO. Below are given the names of some of the makers of the checks recovered by the officers, together with the amounts:

Leopold Mayer & Son, *5,000; Merchants’ L. & T. Co. Bank, *2,000; Holiis & Duncan, *53.10; Merchants’ L. & D. Co. Bank, *1,500; Chicago National Bank, *784.18; Chicago First National Bank, *1,500; Chicago First National Bank, *4,000; State Savings Association, *896.74; First National Bank, *700; First National, *SOO. Letters of credit on the Union Bank of London, £450; F. G. Jungbert, *505; Wagner Palace Car Co., *547.86; Otis S. Favor, *3,481.57; Merchants' Loon and Trust Co., *10,000; Ellinger & Sons, *1,986.55; Marshall & Illsley, *9,465.53; First National Bank, Chicago, *450; First National Bank, Chicago, *527 ; Union Trust Co , *437.96; Park National Bank, *500; S. D. Kimbark, *I,OOO. Postmaster Judd says the public will observe “that these letters never reached the Chicago office at all—never came into the Postmaster’s hands—and In spite of the immense number of letters recovered there Is no means of telling how many thousand more these fellows have destroyed. ” Both were held in *5,C00, and being unable to secure ball were remanded to jail. About Mack’s career nothing is yet known, but Oberkampf belongs to a good family in Berlin, Germany. He hat been in this country nearly three years and has never worked a day here. He has made a good living by pilfering the mails, using the money he found in the letters and selling the postage-stamps. The stamps which he soaked off the envelopes he remucilaged and sold at a prominent drug store. There yet remain a trunkfui A>f letters and securities which the authorities have not examined, and which will make the total amount of the robbery much greater. All the property is now in possession of the Government and cannot be returned to the rightful owners until after the trial of the prisoners. A number of letters found by the officers were mailed in 1886, showiifg that the thefts had been going on for about two years. *

DEATH OF CHARLES CROCKER.

The California Railroad Millionaire Expires at Monterey. [Monterey (Cal.) special.] Charles Crocker, Vice President ot the South-

When in 1860 a man named Judah conceived the notion of building a transcontinental railroad and unfolded it in Mark Hopkins’ hardware store at Sacramento to Hopkins, Lelan t Stanford, Crocker, and other Sacramento cronies they immediately seized upon it and proceeded to put it into execut on. The history of the building of the Central Pacific Road and the fortunes it made for its projectors is an old story. Crocker arose from the position of a dealer in threads and needles to that of a millionaire railroad mam He moved from' Sacramento to San Francisco and there built for himself a palatial residence at a cost of $1,R)0,000. Two years or so ago he built a magnificent house in New York City on West Fiftyfourth street and has since made it his home*, although he retained a legal residence in California. Col. Fred Crocker and William Crocker were with their father at the time of his death. The deceased leaves one other son, George* who lives in Nevada, and a daughter, Mrs. Charles H. Alexander, who is in Europe*.

The Author of the “Quick or the Dead” Ventures Deeper—A Thrilling Work. [New York Special.} Amelia Rives—as she still signs herself—the young Virginia authoress, has written anew work which is likely to cause a sensation in

comparison with which the furor over her famous novel, “The Quick or the Dead?”will prove insignificant. “Herod and Mariamne,”' a tragedy from her pen, will he published complete in Lippincott’s Magazine for September. 'The work is founded on the history of Herod the Great, as related bv Josephus, and formed’ the subject of one of Vol- : taire’s classic tragedies. The plain, unvarnished tale of Herod’s cruelties

as found in the pages of She “History of the Jews cannot fair to make the reader shudder. Mrs. Eivos-Chanler has understood perfectly how to adapt the incidents to. dramatic purposes,, and the result is beyond doubt the strongest work in that particular held ever produced by an American author, for power of expression, depth of feeling, brilliancy of imagination—for the work is imaginative despite th 3 historical foundation—and ability of construction, “Hercd and Maxiamno’’ is not ex. celled by any modem tragedy, and must be regarded as a work of genius. Of the literary merits and demerits the critics will have much to say. , -

AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE.

Collision of the Large Ocean Steamers Geiser and Thiugralla Off Sable Island. The Former Went Down in Five Minutes - and One Hundred and Seven Persons Were Drowned. [New York special dispatch.] The steamer Wleland of the Hamburg-Amcri-ean steamship line has reached this city, bringing news of a collision off Sable Island between the Geiser and the Thingvolla of the Thingvalia line, which occurred at 4 o’clock on the morning of August 14. The Geiser sank in five minutes after the collision, and over one hundred persons were drowned. The Thingvolla was so disabled that she had to put into Halifax after transferring all her passengers to the Wleland. The Geiser had eighty-six passengers aboard, seventy-two of whom were drowned or killed in the collision, and fourteen were taken first on the Thingvolla and then on the Wleland. The Geiser’s crew numbered fifty-two. Thirty-five were lost and seventeen were saved. Captain Moller, of the Geiser, was among those saved. The passengers of the Thingvolla transferred tothe Wleland numbered 465. The Geiser left this port Aug. 11, bound for Stettin. The Thingvolla was on her way to this city, and was advertised to leave here Aug. •i&. A very heavy sea and a dense fog were experienced through the night aud early morning of Aug. 14. It is said that an object could not be distinguished fifty feet away by reason of the fog. Stories differ as to where the liability lies, If not wholly due to the fog and heavy sea. The Thingvolla struck the Geiser on the starboard side amidships, close on to 4 o’clock in the morning. The boa s then parted and within five minutes toe Geiser sunk. The crew of the Thingvolla did all they could to save the Geiser’s crew and passengers, while still in doubt as to whether toe Thingvolla was not dangerously disabled, but, owing to the heavy sea, only tnirty-one were saved. No other vessel was near at toe time. The Wleland, on her way to this port, was sighted at 11:30 o’clock on toe morning of the 14th. Signs of distress were made by toe Thingvolla, and a transfer of passengers began. The sea was then very heavy, but no mishap occurred in the transfer ol passengers. PASSENGERS SAVED. Names of Those Rescued from the Geiser. Following is a list of toe passengers who were saved: Cabin—Mrs. Hilda Lind, from New York to Calsham, Sweden. Steerage—Fehann Larson, from New York to Bisor, Norway; Alfred Anderson, from New York to Grimslad, Norway; Chrlstoffer Fliaseer, from Chicago to Bergen, Norway;Peter Fohansen, from St. Paul, Minn., to Gosborg, Sweden; Johann G. Tohausen, from Iron Mountain, Mich., to Stockholm; Paul Paulsen, from Ironwood, Mich., to Copenhagen, Denmark; Anders Wilse, from Minneapolis, Minn., to Christiania, Norway; John Tenwuld, from Hudson, Wis., to Thondhjein, Norway; Fred X. Hansen, from Perth Amboy, N. J., to Copenhagen; Fens Anderson, from Philadelphia to Christiania, Norway; Anders G. Peterson, from St. Paul, Minn., to Gosborg, Sweden; Lauritz Romerdehl, from Lansing, Mich, to Copenhagen, Denmark; Johann Alquis, from Iron Mountain, Mich., to Orland, Finland.

THOSE WHO PERISHED. A List of the Lost Made Up from the Passenger Registry-Book. Many of the victims of the Geiser were excursionists from Minneapolis, Minn. It was the third party which had gone from Minneapolis this season by the Thingvalla line. Extra inducements were offered excursionists, because a World’s Exposition is now being held in Copenhagen. Natives of Norway and Sweden embraced this opportunity to visit their homes, and the majority of outgoing passengers were residents of the Northwest. A good many of those thrifty people who lost their lives on the ill-fated steamer are supposed to have had with them large amounts of money and other valuables. The following is the best lißt of those who perished that is obtainable. It is made by striking off the names of those saved from the list of passengers as stated in the books of Passenger Agent Jensen. It will be seen that the total number of names in the list of the lost Is sev-enty-eight, six more than it should contain, as there were only eighty-six passengers aboard and fourteen were saved: Cabin passengers—L. Clausen, Capt. George N. Hammer, Bertha Irenfeld, Mrs Hilda Lind and two children, J. C. Melberg, Albert Olsen, Mrs. Ellen Seehus of Chicago, wife of the editor of Skandinaven; Hilda Svelborg. Steerage passengers—Amandt M. Anderson, Andrus Anderson, Johan Anderson, Louisa Anderson, Magnus Anderson, Mrs. Elizabeth Berg and child, Hilda Bergstrom, J. Bocklund, C. Braate, C. Carlson. Mrs. Charline Christiansen and two children, Ole Cbristopherseni, Mrs. Julia Fredericksen and two children, Soren Gabriel sen, Kitthe Gulllcksen, J.

THE STORY OF THE COEEISIOJt^ Descriptions of the Disaster Related by Officers of the- Gelser. Second Officer Jorgensen gave a graphic' description of the collision. He said: “1 was asleep in my bunk when I heard a shock, and I immediately went on deck. Taking in the situation at a glance I ordered all hands on deck. Then 1 swung myself off on the bow of the Thingvalla and scrambled to. her deck. The doomed craft sunk gracefully, stem first, with her bow in the air. Most everybody was sou d asleep, and when shebegan to fill I could hear groans and heartrending screams coming from below. Those who reached the deck made frantic efforts to cut* down the boats, but they were too. excited to be successful. They finally grabbed up pieces of wood and jumped over the side of the vessel.” The chief officer of each vessel was on deck at the time of the collision. The third officer, Petersen, told much, the same story of the occurrence. He said the fog was* very dense. Through the night rain had fallen- at intervals, and the first he knew of the Geiser’s approach was when she appeared on the starboard side right upon them. Both vessels attempted to sheer off, being head on. The Geiser was struck opposite the engine-rooms amidships. The Geiser, being heavily loaded, was very low in the water, so that the Th ngvalla carried away her own compartment. The upper part of her bow ran over the decks of the Geiser. The Geiser’s deck-homes were carried away and the state-rooms were smashed in and the occupants killed. He heard a bell ring in the Geiser’s, engine-room, hast could not tell what the order was. Offices- Petersen was on deck at tha time. He heard the bell ring again, this time to back, and the steamer had just commenced to reverse when the Thingvalla struck. Th© Geiser’s whistle was blowing at the time. Second Officer Jorgensen jumped lor the Thingvoßa when they struck, and was hauled on the Thingvolla’s deck by some of the laAter’a crew. A chair high enough for one to sit in and use one’s arms freely in cooking manipulations is the most sensible yet invented for ■woman. No man ever stands to perform any work that he can do in a sitting position. Woman is ever last to accept an easier method.

AN IOWA DESPERADO.

Frank Gallup, the Shenandoah Terror, Killed by a Militiaman. Infuriated Citizens Drag His Nude Body Through the Streets. [SHZNANBOAH (IOWA) SPEOIAT], This pleasant little city has been the scene of wild excitement for several days, and crowds of turbulent people have thronged the streets. Frank Gallnp, the terror of this section of lowa, has met a just reward, being killed by a militiaman after having himself fatally shot two men and seriouifly wounded others. Frank Gallup has been a terror to the community for over eight years, during which time he has figured conspicuously in several fights and shooting affrays and served a term in jail. Preceding this tragedy only one day was another of almost as sensational a nature, and which brought large crowds to Shenandoah from adjacent towns. Frank Phillips, aged 25, ontraged a 6-year-old child of F. J. Pine. He was arrested and put in the city jail tinder a strongguard. At night a mob overpowered the guard, forced an entrance into the jail, took Phillips out, and after tarring and feathering him whipped him with a blacksnake whip. Officers rescued him from the mob and again placed him in jail. The mob warned him to leave town, but he was defiant, and swore vengeance. This so enraged the men that they returned and again stormed the jail, took him out, and drew him up to a telegraph pole. He was let down when he confessed the crime. On condition that he would leave the country he was released. Phillips was a friend of Gallup’s, and both of them were tho enemies of Pine. Frank Gallup and his half-witted brother had been drinking, and partially intoxicated went to the home of their father, across the street from where Frank lived. A quarrel ensued, and the old man was severely pounded. His cries for help brought a crowd of citizens to the rescue, F. J. Pine among them. Frank Gallup went out to md’et them, and without a word of warning deliberately shot Pine. The others fled, and gathering a crowd of armed citizens returned to the house. Gallup’s father told them his son had escaped. The militia was called out, and telegrams describing the outlaw sent in all directions. After a short time it was learned that Gallup had not escaped, but was concealed in his father’s house. This news took a crowd of a hundred men, including militia ComKE, lowa National Guards, to the e of the old man. Gallup, who had joined the crowd, declared that Frank was not in the house. The crowd hesitated as if at a loss what course to pursue when T. E. Patterson, a traveling salesman for R. P. Smith & Son, of Chicago, stepped out and asked that a peace officer deputize a posse to search the house, and offered to lead them. Old man Gallup said: “Gentlemen, you have my permission to search the house,” whereupon Patterson armed himself with a revolver, took a lantern, and, in company with one of the guards, started for th*e house. David Campbell, who was unarmed, accompanied them, against Patterson’s protest. Patterson went into the cellar through an outside door, and after making a complete search, returned, saying that “all was clear down there.” He had scarcely uttered the words when Gallup, armed with two revolvers, sprang from aside door to the porch, and seizing Campbell by the throat placed a revolver against his head and said: “You are after me, are you? G—d d —n you.” Campbell attempted to push the revolver aside, but was shot in the hack of the neck and fell in his tracks.

Standing over Campbell’s body ©aJlup began shooting right and left into the crowd, taking deliberate aim at the nearest man. The next man shot was Bert Bice, who was just bringing his gun into gosition. Bice shot, but without effect. [e had just fallen when Patterson jumped from the cellar_and leveled his revolver at Gallup. Gallup was ready for him, and both weapons flashed simultaneously. Gallup’s shot whistled jjUst past Patterson’s head and struck T. H. Winfrey, a militiaman, in the right leg. At this juncture the shooting was rapid and lively. Gallup's mother came out and gave him more cartridges and in going back she ran against one of the guards, a young boy named Moroni Fletcher, knocking him down. Gallup, seeing himself hard pressed, started to run.. As he passed young Fletcher, who was just staggering to>his feet, Fletcher gave it to him from the left side, having barely time to swing his musket around and shooting off-hand. The ball struck Gallup in the left arm, passed through his body and right arm, and on through the side of the house. Gallup’s wife appeared and told them her husband was dead. But, fearing further treachery from the family, they refused to.take her word for it until the end of a rope that was passed to her waa fastened about his neck. Then with wild cheers the crowd ran down the main street, dragging the naked body through the dirt to the city hall, where it was left on the floor. After caring for the dead and wounded the crowd went back to the house after the old man, but he had'escaped and left town. His wife waa arrested and placed in the city jaH. Ls&er on the old man was also arrested and jailed. The wildest excitement prevailed. Pine’s remains wero taken to his old home at Galesburg, 111., for interment.
