George Holmes succeeded In stirring up a first-class sensation yesterday afternoon but the sensation went off fizzle end up wards and the varlcus parties Intcrestei were still trying at a latu hour last night to determine whom the Joke was on. A settee which hnd been levied upon on an execution was at the bottom of the affair It had been the property of Mrs. II , II. Huntlngton , but was seized on a judgmenl In a justice court against her husband Defore the sale took place Mrs. Huntlngton went to the place where It was kept am took It home with her. It was brought buck and sold , however , on un execution and Herman Schurz was the one who bough ! It In. Yesterday Justice Field , before whom the case has been tried , Issued an order to Schurz to give up the furniture , and gave the order to Constable Baker to be served. Baker went to the Schurz mansion on Mynstor street , but Schurz refused to give It up. He sent a note to George Holmes , Huntlngton's attorney , stating that Schurz refused to give up , and asking Instructions. Holmes thought It a good chance to have a little sport at the expense of Schurz , who has divided with Holmes for some years past the right to manipulate the affairs of I'oUawattamle county democracy. He sent a telephone message to the police headquarters that a riot was on the point of emerging Into view at the Schurz resi dence , and asked that a platoon of police bo at once sent down to prevent bloodshed. The patrol wagon was brought out and loaded down with police , deputy marshals and all the bums who happened to be around the jail. Every one had his eye peeled for gore. When the wagon arrived at the Schurz residence probably the most com pletely surprised man In the outfit was Uaker. He was seated on the settee In question , whittling two sticks and discussing the state of the weather with Schurz. There was not the slightest sign of a riot. The weather finally being worn out as a topic of conversation Halter picked up the settee and marched off with It , while the other olllcers went out behind the barn to wonder what they had come for. There was a report on the streets that Schurz had used a shotgun in defending his light to the settee , but this Is denied by Baker. > < > .Monopoly lit Ilronrn'H C. O. I > .

In regard to the employment of an electri cal expert to make a survey of the city for the purpose of determining what the city and citizens should have to pay for light , those favoring the scheme quote Prof. Bemls of the Chicago university as a good authority. Ho was requested by the Economic club to Investigate and recommend a competent and thoroughly reliable electrical expert for this purpose. He writes : "Tho assistant chief of our municipal elec tric light plant heartily recommends the firm of Stone & Webster , 100 Washington street , Chicago. They do not construct plants , but act as electric engineers to see that cities or private companies are not cheated , etc. They have just been the advisers of Boston and of the state of Massachusetts relative to light plant In the capital and wiring In the city. One of their engineers Is now In Omaha and will ba for over a week In the employ of the fire Insurance underwriters , relative to proper stringing of wires. He Is Russell Hobb , and Is stopping at the Paxton house. I advise you to consult him at once. " "The city council , however , " remarked a member of the Economic league yesterday , "do not appear Inclined to Ifave anything to do with Stone & Webster. They affect to bellcvo that the fireman who looks after the wires for the department , aided by the city engineer , will bo able to afford them all the Information they dcslro while making a con tract with the present company.

When light suits and russet shoes begli to appear more frnquently , says the World limn , nt the bars and the cafes and the clul drinks as light as the nulls begin to be the order of the day ; yes , even the order of the night , too. The man of business , who through winter fought old Boreas with plain whisky , de viates through March and April from the path of stralglitness a little Into occasional absorptions of the insidious cocktail martini 01 manhattan. Then , too , the politician , who all winter has drunk whisky and brandy during the day , changing off to Burgundy or heavy ales * at night , disports his thirst over a va riety of mixed Inspirations. With the gentle ruin of April begins the reign of the gentle gin fizz or of whisky lengthened and softened with ginger ale. When May waves her greener wands of magic over the scene , still daintier drinks are advertised over the bars , such as Scotcli blossom , composed of Scotch whisky , ex- tiacts of orange blossom and Turkish rose , with a little sugar and soda and a garnish of lemon or orange peel. Gin and whisky blossom , made In the same way , attract the fancy of some palates. The New York Chollle now ceases to buy so much of a certain yellow effervescence with a French label , and Is able to recuper ate financially In his fluid expenditures. He graduates from doubtful champagnes to equally doubtful but less expensive sherry cobblers and strawberry fizzes. As a rule , this tribe of drinkers does not drink for stomach or head , but for fashion and fancy. Hence , the more fanciful and absurdly-named beverages which a barkeeper can concoct the more likely is he to hit the thirst of these gentry. Your old-fashioned , solid wine drinker , however , who In winter likes at dinner to stow away a bottle of PontetiCanet , with nliip or ten years' dust on H , or occasionally a pint of heavy Madeira , now assists his ap petite and promotes his coolness and takes the tariff off his digestion by white wine cup. This fancy drink Is generally compounded of a pint of sauterne , that of moderate price really making the best ; n gill of Curacoa ( and some add a gill of Chartreuse or Benedictine or other cordial ) with a little sugar , lemon juice and a few crushed straw- Jfrrles , water and Ice. Made by the right bands of the right stuff this is not only a rare refresher of the weary nerves , but It Is far better In Its Inger through the system than Maine Lemonade , of which the chief Ingredient comes from Medford. A great spring and summer drink that originally came from the south , and still continues to fire the northern heart and jraln In a very seductive fashion Is the mint lulep. Even a man of large liquid experience , : he great Charles Dickens , regarded the lulcp as one of the grandest results of the discovery of America , and as a guarantee of the permanence of our Institutions. Claret punches among men of letters have the call as May goes out and June comes In , and Indeed the claret punch , with a slight lash of Jamaica to give It staying power , runs throughout summer a pretty good race with other drinks down the red lanes of men , both astute and thirsty. To put ono or two lonesome and belated strrwberrles on top of this beverage Is a Bin against art. No 'well rend barkeeper or poet drink-mixer would do this.

Unusual Interest Is taken In California In the case of General John Hcwston , who has Just been held In London to answer to the charge of manslaughter for having caused the death of n street harp player by thrust ing the ferrule of his umbrella Into his eye. The spectacle of an American general on lilal on such an accusation Is In Itself extraor dinary , but this case Is made more notable by the fact that General Hewston , although remarkably vigorous for one of his age , lo 70 years old. General Hewston , says the San Francisco Chronicle , Is perhaps one of the best known of California's early pioneers. Ills friends In this city are legion , and they all scoff at the Idea of the general acting In any way except In defense. He went to San Francisco first In 1853. having been sent by President Pierce to establish the San Francisco branch mint. Previous to that he had been In the United States coast and geodetic survey serv ice , which ho entered when 21 years of age under Prof. Bache. The general remained In the mint as chief assaycr , meltcr and re finer for several years , and then established the house of Kellogg , Hewston & Co. General Hewston Is n remarkable man In more ways than one. He Is a thoroughly ed ucated man , and In his young days was one of the best all-around athletes In this city. He would best the finest boxers In the morn ing at the Olympic club and In the evening would deliver a learned lecture on chemistry at the Toland Medical college. He has n diploma as an M. D. , but never practiced medicine. He Is an accomplished metallurg ist , and Is a member of the Microscopic so ciety. For several years he was president of the Academy of Sciences. In 1863 he was appointed brigadier general of the Second brigade by the late Governor Stanford. The general retained his position through the administrations of ex-Governors Low , Haight and Booth , and was succeeded by General Coey. Major A. D. Grlmwood , vice commander of the Veterans' National Guard of California , was on General Hewston's staff , and he speaks In the highest terms of his former superior officer. "Of course , It was an accident , " said the major ; "that goes without saying. " The general was attacked , and he defended him self. I know nothing about the matter ex cept what I have read in the papers , but I take It from that that those people set upon him. The rowdies In London are worse than hoodlums here. It ruffics them to see a well-dressed man at any time , and age cuts no figure with them. The crowd saw the general , and doubtless determined to have some sport with him. Ono of them raised a campstool to strike him , and the general threw up his umbrella to ward off the blow. By a most remarkable accident , which prob ably could not be repeated In 100 years , the ftrrule of the umbrella caught the would-be- assallant in the eye and penetrated the brain. ' ' "General Hewston as ! a man IB one of the bravest I have ever mtt. He absolutely docs not know the m'eanlng of the word fear. Had he been given halt a chance , bis op ponent would now have besn among the liv ing , for the general would have used his ilst and brought' ' him down. The general has a tender heart and the kindliest feelIngs - Ings toward his fellow men. He would not willingly harm any ope or do anything to Injure one's feelings. " General Hewston 1st ex-commander of the Veterans' National Guard of California , and Vice Commander Grlmwood and W. H. Dlmond , major general of the California National guard , have sent communications to Secretary Gresham as > klng that the gov ernment take all proper steps for the gen eral's protection and defense. The general went to London In the Interest of tome mining claims and a patented sporting gun. Mrs. "Hew ston , the general's wife , who Is in San Francisco , said In answer to a re porter's question that her husband , she be- ileved , knew nothing about fencing and she md never'known him to possess or handle a foil. CIHCKAMAUGA PARK. Not only Is the park proper becoming dally of greater Interest , the means of reaching it are now so far advanced In excellence that .he drive , going and returning , Is ono of hs highest interest and pleasurs , says the Chattanooga Times.

"In a number of years of active service urine the war , " naia an old soldier Inter viewed by n reporter of the Plttaburg DIspatch - patch , "I must confess , In nil honesty , that In action my bosom never welled with the enthusiasm of heroes that you hear so much nbotit. On the contrary , I experience ! more fear than anything else. I nlnnys did my duty , but I am forced to believe ( hat I ho feelings I hnd when drawn up In line of battle were shnrcd by my comrades , whenever never dnrtd to acknowledge them. Facing n large body of men with guns ntul not knowing what moment ono of them will send n ball speeding through you Is not a situation to make n man feel exultant. In my case I was always ready and willing to turn and run. only waiting for some one to make the start. How often , when about to enter a battle , do I remember solilo quizing : 'Now , If this fellow next to mo would only make n start , ho\v thankful I would be. ' But pride and sense of duty will bold men together. As t said , 1 have not the least doubt that many men felt just as I did , no matter how they may talk now. And when you consider that we always stood our ground , It shows how strongly pride can Influence our actlonc. I remember once , while our cavalry troops were out upon a skirmish , we took a vantage position upon n hill that rose out of n plain. From there we could see the enemy gradually sur rounding us. This , to one of my tempera ment , caused extreme nervousness. Wlion there was but n small opening remaining at one point , and that slowly blng closed , I went to the commanding officer and sug gested that he had better order a retreat whllo such a tiling was possible. Ho re fused to do It , naylng that he was going to stand his ground. I knew this was sure death , nnd would have readily put spurs to my horse nnd rode to safety had not my sense of duty and pride Impelled me to re main with my officer. He was silting his horse calmly , taking In the situation , when I cnmo to him a second time to make the suggestion. But I did not have to speak. An all-wise providence did my work for me In n manner that prevented argument. The bullets were flying about thick nnd fnet , nnd just ns I was about to address the officer a stray one struck him In the wrist of the hand which held thb r'"uu The ball shattered the bone and ilia lelna dropped from the helpless hand. Uelnre the officer could recover the reins with his other hand the horse bolted an 1 ttrangely started on a dead run for * he o'io ' i lace which offered a way of escape. It was my duty to follow Uio officer , and It vas the most cheerful duty I found during the war. I spurred my horse and soon wis r hi-i heels. We pot away all right , but the company of cavalry on the hill \\oic. Mkh few exceptions , captured and lield a prisoners of war. They v > cro sent to Andersonvlllo prison and but a s-ull | n.r centago ever came out alive. That Is lic'W ' a runaway horse saved rny life. I IIPVO went Into action without a drrail nnd a fear of death. This may be looked in on ns the stamp of a coward , yet I hardly think It is fair to give such a name to a porBot who never shirked duty. To me tha biavc man Is not the one who recklessly , v. Itl.cu thought , plunges Into the thick of Inttle but rather the man who , while real.lug ! the danger and appreciating the uncertainty o life , still keeps to the path of duty. ' A STRANGE REUNION. The preparations for a trial of a land suit which Is to como up at the approachIng - Ing term of the circuit court In Burkavllle Ky. , has revealed a singular story , .suyii the Atlantic Constitution. Throughout the civil war this backwoods region Burk.svllle Is forty miles from the nearest rallroal was debatable ground. It wits harried al.ko by federals and confederates , and , v.orse than all , guerrillas , who claimed cither fag , as It suited their convenience , and robbed the friends of both alike. In the early days of the war a party of guerrillas , who were mainly of confederate sympathies , made their headquarters In Bennett township , in this county. From that vicinity they made many raids through the surrounding country , and often attacked detachments of federal troops. One of the boldest and most dashing of the guerrillas was a young fellow named Jack Mason , who said ho was from Ten nessee. But of his family and antccade.its he told his companions nothing. He was slender 4n form and effeminate in tace and manner , but these circumstances were at tributed to his extreme youth. His enter prise and bravery In battle prevented his companions from commenting upon his girlish appearance. . One day a smart skirmish between the guerrillas and federal troops was fought. Jack Mason was wounded in the shoulder and fell from bis horse. His companions picked him up and carried him off with them. But ho was so severely wounded that the rude surgery of the camp was not sufficient. A friendly farmer named John Orth took the wounded youth Into his house and Mrs. Orth nursed him. Mason had not been In the house of the Orths long before they discovered that their wounded guest was a girl In disguise. The girl's wound , though not serious , was pain ful and slow In healing. She was in bed several months and In that time a baby girl was born. When the mother became strong and well she suddenly disappeared from the home of the Orths , leaving her baby. She left also a considerable sum of money and some jewels , and a note directing that they be used for the benefit of the baby. The Orths adopted the little girl and she grew to womanhood , married a prosperous young farmer named Mayhew , and Is now the mother of two children. Mayhew owned some land In this county , which he cold. Later a question of title came up and his wife was summoned ns a witness. In the course of her testimony shu told the strange story of her abandonment by her mother , the disguised soldier. Local newspapers printed the facts , and they were reprinted In a newspaper nt Knoxvllle , Tcnn. Recently a middle-aged but good looking woman arrived here. She said she was Mrs. John Mason , who lived near Knox vllle , Tenn. , and that Mrs. Mayhew was her daughter. Then she told her story. She said she was the disguised soldier , Jack Mason. She had run away from her homo In Tennessee and married a young man against the will of her parents. Afterward she became jealous of her hiibband nnd de serted him. Ashamed to return * home , she had put on men's clothes nnd joined the guerrillas. When she left the house of the Orths , she said , shu Intended to return and claim her baby , but when the reached East Tennes see she fell Into a fever and was novcr afterward able to locate , the place where the Orths resided. She' and her hiiEbaiid were reunited and they advertised exten sively for the child , but heard nothing. Mrs. Mason was overjoyed at finding her daughter , Mrs. Mayhew. LIVES LOST IN THE WARS. It cost Uuncle Sam over 1,000,000 men to place the American flag In the proud posi tion It occupies today among the nations of the earth , bays the New York Sun. In the war of the revolution C42 seamen of the reg ular navy were killed In battle , whllo n considerably larger numbers were killed In the privateers that played such an Im portant part In that struggle. Of the HI2 seamen killed , 311 perished when the United States 28-gun frigate , Randolph , Captnln Diddle , was blown up by a bhot from the British 71-gun bhlp of the line Yarmouth , March 7 , 177S , which Blddlo had heroically attacked In order that his valuable convoy of seven vessels might Cbcape. About the same number of soldiers were killed In the land battles , but this docs not Include the 9r > 00 Americans who died In the British prison ships In Wallahout bay. In all 12,000 men perished In thcso ships , but about l.fiOO of them were French sallora captured near the American coast , The total number of Americans who lost their lives In the Revolution Is about 12.000. In the \VIIVH with Franco and Tripoli. 17 ! > 8 to 1SOC , about 175 Americans wtro killed. This docs not Include the number who died In the French dungeo-is at Guadeloupe or In tha slave pens of Tripoli , of whom no accurate esti mate can bo made. In the war nf 1S12. 734 men were kllle-l In sea fights In which the regular government cruisers were en gaged , but this docs not Include the number lost by shipwreck , the sloop-of-war Wasp foundering at sna with all hands , 1S3 on board. Neither does this Include the lose Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria. Children Gryfc ? Pitcher's Castoria. Children Castoria. In American privateers , which wns nearly , equal to that sustained by the navy. The I number of killed In land battle * was about ' 450 , so that the total loss In the war of 1 1S12 Is nbout 2,000 men. In the war with Algiers , 1815 , Mexico , ISIrt lo ISIS nnd In the minor conflicts botutcn ISIo nnd 1SGO nbout 1,000 men were killed In battle. But the greatest losses , of course , wcro In the civI , wnr , where brother was arrayed against brother. Probably not more than I.ROO.OOO men of the north effectively par ticipated In suppressing the rebellion. Of these GC.OOO were killed In battle nnd 3r , OQO died of wounds In hospitals , whllo IS 1.000 died from diseases contracted In the army. Of the 1SO.OOO colored men enlisted , 29.20S died from disease. No accurate estimate of the loses sustained by the outbcrncr : ) has been made , but It Is prohibit ! that they were fully equal to those sustained by the north erners , bringing the total to nbout COO.OOi ) . Adding to this number the 400.000 wjio wore permanently disabled by disease or crippled by wounds , wo have the appalling nggrcgato 1,000,000 men lost In Hint strife. Of the 220,000 confederate ) who were made prison- era during the wnr 2C,43i ? died of wounds or disease dur ng their captivity. Of the unionists nbout 200,000 were made prisoners , of whom about 40,000 died In prison. From thcso figures It will be seen that Memorial ilny Is In honor of over a million men who have given up their lives or limbs In the defense of the flag. INFERIOR RIFLES. The Mannllcher rlfic , which ha Just been tested In Europe , Is declared lo be Inferior to the French nrm , says the St. Louis Globe- Democrnt. If that Is to , our own troops would have a rather meagre chance If op posed to any of the crack army corps of France. This rifle Is smokeless nnd hns n range of three miles. An American naval officer who has written an article upon the compartlvo power of European arms , aald recently that n skilled marksman could create havoc In an army with the new rllle at a distance of two miles , nnd that In an unsettled country It would be Impossible to tell from which point the attack came. This would seem to Indicate that cavalry would bo a tradition hereafter. When the enemy can llo In ambush and mow down horses nnd men two miles away , there will bo no more stirring scenes or stories of car rying forts and other strong positions by a rush of cavalry. A twomilerush In the face of a storm of bullets com tig from an unknown quarter would have results com pared with which the chargeof the Light Brigade seems like child's play. THE ESSENTIAL POINTS.
