Captain David Fiv, until a bitter experience convinccd him to the contrary, never lost hope of the coming of the Union troops to east Tennessee. In this |tis companions shared his faith just as jlbey shared his religion. They felt that £hey were new regularly enlisted in the wrvioe of the government, or j'ined to fight fo' the gov'meut," as they put it, and they conscientiously believed that ibej would be violating their oaths if did not begin lighting at once.

But the desire for battle was not nearly so imperative as the necessity for food. The supply in the mountains was limited and the transportation difficult, •o that Captain Fry was forced to go down into the rich valleys, where provisions were abundant and where, by (his time, there were swarming men in gray, quite as eager for a fight as were the mountaineers.

Although undrilled and not uniformed, Fry's men had all those qualificaHons that count for so much in such a campaign. They were tireless marchers. They could subsist coarse food and were accustomed oir'heir hunting expeditions to go for along time without eating. They had been habituated to camping out, and it is safe to say that In the use of the rifle they were not excelled by the men of any state in the jDnion. If to this is added an intense earnestness of purpose, which amounted to fanaticism, it will be seen that Fry's band of nearly 700 men required the attention of the enemy, and in the end compelled their respect.

A strict military disciplinarian would have driven these men into open revolt seiihin a week, if indeed he did not proyoke one or all of his command to agree to his own taking off, yet they were willing to follow Fry to death with the faith of Mussulmans and the ardor of erasaders. He could give no command that they were not eager to obey nor require a hardship that they were not ready to endure, simply because they Itnew that Davy was working for the common good and required nothing from them that he was not prepared to illustrate bv his own examole.

CHAPTER II.

THE INTER OCEAN, Chicago.

I Greenville, Anarew .»unnson home, was the nearest objective point to (he mountains. At that time it was reported to Fry by his scouts that there were about 2,000 infantry and cavalry in the place, but appreciating the tendency of people to exaggerate numbers he made up his mind that there was only about one-half that force there, and so told his men. In their eagerness to come face to face with the enemy the council would have advocated an immediate attack had the number been twice as great as reported. Nearly all were now armed with Springfield rifles and fixed ammunition, the booty of their first raid, and they carried bayonets obtained through the same source, but they were regarded as things decorative rather than useful.

Qreenville and its vicinity swarmed with Union men, with whom Fry was in constant communication. Through these friends he learned of the location of the Confederate camps and pickets. He decided on a night attack but, as was his custom, he laid his plan before his men, and, as was their habit, they at once adopted it as their own.

Two hours before daylight on the 15th of March, 1862, Fry, at the head of 700 men, divided into seven companies, each led by a trusted man, moved as silently as the night shadows toward the coppery glow to the west that marked the location of the Confederate camps. With the stealth of Indians on the warpath they seized all the Confederate pickets in their front without the firing of a shot or giving the slightest indication of their presence. The Confederates knew that Fry had a baud in the mountains, but they treated him with contempt, and General Leadhetter promised himself to send a squadron of cavalry to "smoke Fry and his thieving bridge burning traitors out." Certain it is that the Confederate commander at Knoxville never dreamed that the "hill Yankees" could have the temerity to assume the aggressive. "When we strike 'em, boys, holler ez if we was a million and every man ez mad ez a thousand b'ars but, at the Bame time, don't, fo' your lives, lose Bight of the fightin, fo' you won't never have a better chance to put in solid licks."

This was the purport of the whispered speech that Fry delivered to his men when they crouched for the dash on the sleeping camps at Greenville.

Without faceting with opposition, Fry, with three companies, reached the cefriefe'ry. Here a companion lighted a fireball, such as had been used in the

destruction ok vim onognr. an uoiu i« at the end of his bayonet, waiting for the oommand. At once a similar glow was seen a few hundred yards away to the north and sonth. "In the name of God, let her go!" whispered Fry. Inatantly the ball was sent whirling into the air, and at once the other balls flashed up.

This was the signal agreed on, and, is the balls of cotton wick and turpentine would burn for at least an hour they were left to mark the place where the mountaineers were to rally in the event of their being repulsed... The instant the signal rose a wild, 6hrill cheer followed, and the sleepers in the tents and houses at Qreenville started up in alarm. Shouting "Fo'the Union! Fo' the Union!" Fry's men dashed into the town and swarmed about the tents of (he Confederates. Shot and shriek aud oath and death cry rang out. The veterans of a dozen campaigns could not have been surprised in this way, but if •urprised they would have behaved exactly as did Leadbetter

green troops on

Shis occasion. Half dressed men rushed from their quarters to fire and fall, but the major-

ity, obeying the impulse that leads "to preservation, fled blindly into the darkness. When daylight came, the first light in east Tennessee was over, and the Union mountaineers were masters of the situation, with a loss of 8 men killed and about 20 wounded. The loss of the Confederates was much greater, in addition to which 800 prisoners, were taken and all their stores captured. FTJ'B ability as a leader may be inferred from the fact that, before making this attack, he sent men to Hbe north and soath of Greenville to destroy the telegraph wires connecting with Bristol and Knoxville.

He paroled all the prisoners except ten officers, whom he decided to carry back to the mountains to be held as hostages for the good treatment of bis

own wounded, whom he was forced to leave behind, or for men who might be subsequently captured. All the rations, ammunition and arms that were not necessary for the sustenance and equipment of his own command he destroyed. He fell back, taking the wagons as far as the foothills, where they were burned and the supplies packed on the backs of horses and mules for transport into the heart of the mountains.

Only a student of military campaigns can fully appreciate the moral effect of a first victory on troops. In their exultation Fry's men felt that they were irresistible, but a first victory, though preferable to defeat, may prove to be as disastrous by inducing overconfidcnce in the victors and an underestimate of the defeated. Fry, however, never lost his head. Success brought him volunteers, till he had about 1,000 men under him, but it also intensified his appreciation

These daring depredations stung Leadbetter to increased activity and so alarmed the authorities at Richmond that a I special meeting of the Confederate cabinet was called to consider the alarming state of affairs in east Tennessee. Strong detachments of cavalry were sent into the mountains, but it was much like hunting foxes with a brass band. Fry's mountaineers eluded the stronger bodies, forced the weaker to surrender, and I before mid-April compelled the disheartened and weakened troopers to fall back on Knoxville.

After this Leadbetter, at the head of 7,000 men, determined to take the field in person, but he could not hide his movements, no matter how much he could conceal his plane from the Union people in the capital of east Tennessee.

I Scouts brought word to Fry that the Confederate leader had left Knoxville with a large force, moving in the direo-. tion of the mountains.

Again ^ie held a prayer meeting, at which many of the "brethren" spoke, the captain having, as usual, the last aud only effective talk. "Theribils hez mostly left Knoxville, a-gunnin -fo' us, "he said in his slow, impressive way, "and God hez just put hit into my mjlnd that if, so be, we was now to move mighty fast down Knoxville way, we mout find the back door bpen. This Leadbetter is a-comin out h'ar, and he won't find us home. If we call on him, we won't find him home, and mebbe that'll be wbolesomer all round. So, with God's help, friends and brethren, we'll go down to whar the Holston and Tennessee meets, and mebbe when we're through the ribils'll wish they'd staid home."

This audacious suggestion was answered with a cheer. These men were ready to follow their leader "plum on to Richmond, if so he'd only gin tlfe bint." With them to decide was to act, and Leadbetter had not been gdne from Knoxville 48 hours before Fry was moving for that point. His plan was entirely feasible, and it would have ended in success had the scouting and secret information been confined to one side. Two of Fry's men, who had recently joined for the purpose of betraying him, deserted on the march. They secured horses and made their way to Knoxville with the news of the mountaineer acl: vance. Fresh troops were at once sent up from Chattanooga and Leadhetter foil back at the same time, so dispo^'ng tlio comparatively largo force at his command as effectually to block all Fry!s lines of retrei: ..

of his responsibilities. Fully realizing the demoralization that accompanies inactivity, and, it may be, keeping ever in mind the object of his coming back to east Tennessee, he determined to destroy the bridges again, many of which had been promptly repaired by the Confederates. I

As before, he went to Strawberry Plains himself and again destroyed the bridge at that point which the Confederate engineers had nearly completed. I Some of the other parties, particularly those sent to burn the bridges over the Holston, neur Knoxville, were beaten back, but the outcome of the second raid may be set down as a success.'

of defeat, to nteac una' itaau oauus and make their way north to Kentucky. For the first time, to use his own words, he "felt a shadow on his heart and saw God had clouded his face from him fo' awhile," but he kept the feeling tp himself and cheered his men with the hope that their success would continue.

From the first he always wore, in all his attacks on the enemy, the captain's uniform which he bad brought through with him, and the little flag given him by his wife before he went north ho carried displayed in every action. He wore this uniform now, and a man, detailed for the purpose, carried the flag beside him. He was quick to see that he could not regain the mountains, in which he would have been quite strong enough to set the Confederates at defiance, so he wisely determined to make his way into eastern Kentucky, where at that time there was a considerable force under the Union General Morgan.

A number of severe skirmishes followed, in which Fry routed the enemy, but each fight, even though won, meant his ruin, for it hindered his march and enabled the enemy to hem him in.

At length there came a day when the

Confederates, 20 to 1, blocked every road by which Fry could move. With characteristic skill he discovered the weakest part of the encircling line and charged through. This was in the evening, about sunset. In the attack Fry was wounded in the shoulder and side. He lay on the field till night then, taking the overcoat from a dead Confederate, he put it on and tried to escape to the hills. That night, weak from the loss of blood, but still undannted, he ran into a picket poet of the enemy ao was captured and recognized.

Many of Fry's men were killed, some, it is said, as tbey lay wounded on the field, but a majority broke through, and, following his last instructions, succeeded in reaching friends in Kentucky.

Fry was ironed, though he was scarcely able to move, and, instead of being sent to a hospital, he was marched to Knoxville jail, charged with being a Yankee spy. An ordinary man would have died under this treatment, or given up in despair, but the captain lost neither his heart nor his head. His wounds healed, despite neglect. His jailers told him that ho must die, and he asked to see his wife, but the request was denied. When taken to Knoxville, his hair and be.nrd were black and without one silver streak within a month both had become almost white, but it need not be said that this change was not due to fear.

Judge Temple and Judge O P. Eax-

ter of Knoxville volunteered to defend Fry when lie was brought to trial. The Confederates were forced to acknowledge that Fry was a Federal officer and had the right to recruit wherever he could do so, but they based their charge or the fact that he wore when captured a Confederate overcoat. The friendly lawyers proved that this was not intentional, and pointed to the uniform which the prisoner had worn from the first. The result was that Fry, though condemned to death, was not executed immediately after the trial, as is the custom in such cases.

As soon as Fry's capture became known to the Union men in Knoxville, they dispatched a messenger into Kentucky, and at once two Confederate captains were held as hostages and word was sent to the nearest Confederate outpost by Generals Morgan and Carter that if I'ry was executed tho hostages would bo promptly disposed of in like manner. It was this dread of retaliation that saved the gallant fellow's life and induced Kirby Smith to recall his order for the hanging of "the Yankee spy."

Captain Fry, like a wild animal, was kept confined in "the cage" at the Knoxville jai! till mid-May, when he was joined by 12 Union soldiers, who, like himself, had been condemned to death. These were a pm-t of the famous Andrews raiders—men who had been sent out by General Mitchcll to burn the rail-road-bridges between Atlanta and Chattanooga. After a daring and nearly successful attempt,' the story of which is the most thrilling chapter of the war, .these raiders were captured and taken to Chattanooga. Andrews, a Kentuckian, was hanged, and the others, regarded as spies, were divided, part remaining back to be tried at Chattanooga, and the 12 men referred to being sent to Knoxville for the same purpose.

The Union lawyers who had defendI ed Fry used all their skill in behalf of the raiders, but law is not a matter for the-considerntion of a court martial that is convened to convict.

With all these men Captain Fry at once made friends, and with his hopefulness and undemonstrative piety he was a godsend to the harassed and despondent raiders. Scion after meeting them—the next day, I believe—tho captain and the raiders were sent on together to Atlanta, where there were no Union lawyers to protest or to report to the Federal authorities the outrageous manner in inch a Federal officer and prisoner of war was treated.

Fry was no sooner freed from the cage and out of tho prison at Knoxville than he began to plan for escape. He consulted with the raiders, and pointed out that the guards who were to take them to Atlanta were greon and numerically weak. These men could be easily overpowered. "Onco we get a half mile start," Fry explained as tho cars startedfor. Dal ton, "I can get you all safe into the mountains, but we must act befo' we get out of east Tennessee. Some of the raiders opposed this scheme, and as it would have been folly without united action it was uufortuiiafely abandoned, and BO all of them went ou to Atlanta and many of them to a death intended to borignonUnions, but which was destined Jo make them immortal.

The news that "tho notorious outlaw Fry'.' was coming to Atlanta with the "Yankeo raiders reached, that city in ad-

Fry neither quailed nor showed anger. Bracing himself up, and looking straight into the mayor's eyes, he replied "You area liar and a coward, and the truth isn't in you. You can put on airs with your friends about you, but if you're a man you'll give me a man's chance. Now, make good your bluff here I stand, and I'm ready to fight you and any friend you may choose with fair, square weapons. What do you 6ay, you cowardly old windbag?" [CONTINUED.]

UNHEARD-OF DEATH.

Church Steeple Struck by Lightning: nnd Two Painters Killed.

GITSHHIE, O. T., March 24.—News of a mast remarkable occurrence has been received here from Beaver county. At the little postoffice town of Grand the Baptist congregation is building a handsome church surmounted by a spire 75 feet high. James Ford and Harry Somers, painters, were employed .to oil and paint the spire. Saturday, while they were giving the finishing touches to the top of the church, a thunderstorm came wp accompanied by fierce flashes of lightning.

After a terrific clap of thunder a blinding flash of lightning struck the spire, knocking away the painters' scaffolding, splitting the spire and leaving Somere and Ford on the roof dead. To add to the awful scene, the clothing of the twe men was ignited by the flash and for 10 minutes the bodies were seen burning and smoking in midair. Ram finally extinguished the flames, and three hours later the remains of the painters were brought down charred and incinerated and almost unrecognizable.

Thirteen Men Killed in a Pennsylvania Mine.

THE BODIES HORRIBLY MANGLED.

Herwiml-White Shaft at Dubois Was tli* Seen® of the Awful Tragedy—A Similar Aceideut at Adrian, Pa., in Which Tw»

Men Are Known to Have Been Killed, and a Number of Others Missing. DUBOIS, Pa., March 24.—A terrific ex

plosion of gas occurred at the BerwindWhite shaft, in the eastern •limits of this city, yesterday, and 13 miners were killed. The mine is a new one, which the company has been opening up and working crews in shifts to push the headings out in various directions for big work later on. Eighteen men went in at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, 13 going into the north heading and four into tho south heading.

At about 10 o'clock the four men were sensible of 'a shock, and a fesv minutes later the mine boss came to 'hem and told them something had happened and that- they should get out as soon as they could Wlien the party, then consisting of five, reached the foot of the shaft, they were nearly overcome by gas, and were hurriedly taken up in the cage. Assistance was immediately summoned, and practical miners from the Bell, Lewis & Yates company mines volunteered their services.

As the work of rescue proceeded, it was found that the shock in the north heading was so terrific that some of the bodies were mutilated almost beyond recognition. The bodies have all been removed from the mine, and are being made ready at the improvised morgue to be taken to their late, homes.

All of the men were married with the exception of one, who was a son of one of the killed.

As the mining industry has been in a depressed condition for some time past, all of the families are left in very poor circumstances.

SIMILAR ACCIDENT.

An Kxpiosion of Gas Occurs in a Mine Re

sulting in a Loss of Life.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa., March 24.—The gas in mine No. 1, Adrian, operated by the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal and Iron company, exploded Sunday night and the mine is on fire. It is impossible to get into the mines any distance, although the explosion occurred two miles back.

Shortly after 12 o'clock Sunday night the fire boss heard an explosion and yesterday morning the men going in to work were overcome. Some escaped and the alarm was given. Eleven men have been brought out with two dead. The dead are:

Isaac Jones, married, with three children. Joe Johnson, widower, with 11 children.

Both these men were rescuers. How many more there may be in the mine can not be stated. It is supposed that some miners went in Sunday night to work and ignited the gas. Much excitement prevails about the mine, but nothing definite will be known until the fire is put out.

MANY LIVES LOST.

The FJjJi Island Swept by a Destructive Hurricane. VICTORIA, B. C., March 24.—The

Canadian-Australian steamer Warrimoo, which arrived here late last night, reports encountering a terrific hurricane on the 6th inst., she then being one day out of Suva, Fiji island. So fierce was the storm that the steamer was forced te slow down for 40 consecutive hours, and her owners assert that not only Suva but every settlement in the Fijian group must have been totally devastated by a gale which for ferocity surpassed even the memorable hurricane of three years ago, which laid the Fijiau ^ind Samoan islands in ruins.

Humphrey has communicated with the imperial authorities, so firmly convinced are he aud his brother officers that Suva can not have escaped desolation.

Aside from the storm the Warrimoo had a comparatively uneventful voyage.

She brings word of the loss of the temporary ferry steamer Pearl in the Brisbane river on Feb. 13, through coming into collision with a strong currentwith the anchored government steamer Lucinda, the ferry being cut in two, and 37 lives being lost.

/HAMILTON, O., iVuirch 24.—Mikea.l Dueseiidore, the beer driver for Schwab's brewery, was fouuil dead in his bed yesterday morning. He is supposed to have died of heart failure. An inquest will be held. Ho was auditor of a county near Lay-alie, 1ml., nearly eight

years.
