THTOSDAf, APRIL 5, 1883*

As Old Conrade of General Craft. RILEY, Yioo COOSTYJ April 1st 1883 5||aTo tbe Editor of the Gazette: ™y'/ r--I see in your issue of March 29th in remineaenoes of the late Gen. Crnft, hie friend states tha. he (Craft) was wounded in the battle of Shiloh, in two places. Let me say that the writer was right in his statements as I was there and a an eye witness to the fact stated. I was *J a private in company C. of his regiment was both battlps. On Sunday before noon, March 6fh, 1862, we lay

v* yf \i in an old wagon road, worn down to the depth of about half the thickness of a *sf.vV man, in action nearly all the time. Gen

Cruft rode immediately behind his reeimeut all through the heat of battle

-*11

encouraging the boys and ordering them to aim low. Apparently encouraged, never thinking of 'danger, once while we had a tew minutes to rest our tired ranks I noticcd the General sitting •v on his horse only five or six steps in the

Tear rubbing his thigh. noticed his clo.hing was bloody and went up to him and asked him if he was wounded. He answered that he was and showed me the wound. We would have talked more but t»t that moment his ever watchful eye caught the moveof afresh reinforcement ot the enemy. His voice was heard ring out in clear, commanding tones, "get ready boys they are coming again In a moment we were on the ground loading and firing with all our might.

The General had drilled his men to load and shoot lying flat on the ground and I will say without fear of successful contradiction that his regiment learned to handle their arms in' this manner with •as much rapidity as any other regiment Could standing erect, which was certainly lucky tor us on this occasion. The

Colonel remained with his men until driven from the field late :n the evening I had the pleasure of retreating with him and also saw him helped off his horse at the river, thoyeh wounded in the forenoon.- He was beloved by all the boys. None knew him but to honor him and none served under him but to obey.

Yours, J. P. FJSRGCSON.

MMr.

S. S. Early thinka itiwould be

a good location fqr a handsome government building because of the curve *t that point in Main street which will make tbe post office more conspicuous coming west." "Yes, he replied" tbe masons fully understand il is a good place to show off a fine building and they mean to keep it for that purpose." •When will they build "Not for some time, The lot is paid for and as there are no taxes on church or benevolent property unless rented out, it costs us nothing to keep it. As to the government bpilding I think Fifth street is the business center and the new 'post' office should be built as near there as possible."

A SAD CASE

Mrs.

Aydelette Reanevsd to the Insane Asylna. An insanity inquest was yesterday held over Mrs. M. A. \ydelotte, the well known elocutionist, by Justices Murphy and Gartrell, which resulted in their adjudging her of nnsound mind, and in the afternoon she was removed to the asylum at Indianapolis by" her brother-in-law, Mr. N. G. Raff, in company with her sister, Mrs, Buff. Mrs. Aydelotte has been affected with nervous prostfation, added to sleeplessness, of late, which no doubt came from over-taxation of her mental energies, as she was an incessant worker and neglected proper rest in her desire for the advancement of hpr pupils, to whom she was much attaelied.

The announcement of this unfortunate event will cause much pain among Mrs. Aydelotte's many friends and well-wish-ers, who sincerely hope that her ailment may be ot short duration, and that she may soon be returned fully restored to her formes conditiou. It may be consoling news to her friends to know that her condition is not at all violent or markea by any special peculiarity, and that there is every reason to believe that a cure may be effected in her case

THE SOUTHERN I?J!LKCID WRECK

Tea Fatally and Over Forty Slightly Injured. The wreck on the Cincinnati Southern yesterday morning, 40 miles from Cincin nati, was a serious affair. The train, going at a speed of 40 |miles an hoar rolled down an embankment- 50 feet high. Ten persons were fatally injured, and forty-three more or less hnrt. The cause of the accident was a broken rail.

LATER,

CraciNNATif March 30—All the wound ed from yesterday's accident were taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital and are doing well. No deaths are yet reported.

,* Novel Letter Heads. A firm at Montezuma, who have just bankrupted, had som4 remarkable letter heads printed which no doubt had some* thing to do with their poorjsuccess. They were as follows: "Lamb & Hise, dealers in all kinds ot lumber & logs, we also handle pure wines & liquors of the best brand for medical uses. We have the finest pool table in the state. The highest price paid for Walnut as we make a specialty in that line." A firm doing such a conglomeration A business in one establishment jould hardly expect to prosper.

Tax Deeds.

Tax deeds have been filed with the County Recorder, from the following parties, by the auditor. to'Josialf Locke, property owned by them having been sold for delinquent tax:

Gilla Howard, S. E. Lewis, Isaac Cotr ttel, Wm,.Erwin, Mary and J. D. Jones, H. Helmkamp, Willis P. Davis, Sallie D. Ccokerlv, Norman E. Brown, Eliza Bairsdorf, Geo. C- Duy, S. R. Freeman, Anna Finkbiner, Phillip Gerold, Bridget Kelly, John C. Ross, Fred. A. Ross, Wm. H. Scudder and Rufus St. John.

Elocotiohary Contest

The yupils of Mrs. Aydelotte met Sat. urday afternoon aod decided to carry out the plans of that unfortunate lady in as much as the giving of a public contest of her Juvenile classes. The contest will take place at the Opera House about the 11th inst, a week later than was intendedThe management of the affair will be placed in the hands of competent persons, and it will, no doubt, be as brilliant a success as had Mrs. Aydelotte super in* tended the occasion herself.

Another Dot Story.

A friend ef Jack Kennedy, who lives in Chicago, recently expressed to him a young aog—a thorough bred setter— which he in turn presented to his friend, Adam Lambert, the north Fourth, street butcher. This blooded canine eats fifteen pounds of raw meat daily and bids fair develop into a valuable acquisition to the sporting fraternity of this city.
