MILES ASJ JEITEBSON DAVIS.
The General Denies the Ulegatloat'Made
hy Davis Wfdew.
Chicago. Feb, 10. In the memoirs of
Jefferson Davis, recently published by
his widow, many pages are devoted to a
description of the "Tortures of Fortress
Monroe," of which district Gen. Miles,
now at the division of the Missouri, was
in command at the time Davis was im
prisoned there. Mrs. Davis charge
Gen. Miles with cruelty to the ex-presi-den
of the Confederacy. He is charged
with shackling Davis by brutal force,
keeping him in a vermin-infested cell,
withholding his clothes and linen and
making souvenirs out of his possessions,
even his hair, when he had it cut.
Gen. Miles was interviewed in regard
to the matter. He said be did not mind
the attack. "Of .course,' he added,
"Mrs. Davis feels bitter towards me, as
she probably does towards many more
northern soldiers. While caring noth
ing at all for anything she may say or
write, I would call your attention to tH
fact that Jefferson Davis managed t)
survive my cruel treatment and livei
twenty years after, finally dying of 'l
age. That would hardly nave bees L
case, I think. St be had been subxtsi

' ": ."' Spurious Lymph.'
Kansas City, Feb. 10. Was John B.
Ells murdered? That is the question
which Coroner Langsdale and an able
corps of assistants endeavored to decide
at a post-mortem examination of the
body at Stine'a morgue. : Ells died at
the city hospital from the effects of an
injection of what was said to be Dr.
Koch's lymph. There is a great deal of
interest taken in the case among the
members of the medical profession.
There is a great deal of doubt as to the
genuineness of the fluid injected. The'
deceased wife is loud in her dennnci
tion of Dr. Banm, who administered the
lymph, and says that she and her family
were ignorant of the experiment. The
coroner is very skeptical on the subject
of Dr. Koch's treatment and when he
learned of Ells'' death he determined that
a thorough investigation and a post
mortem examination should be made.
Want a Skip Canal.
' Walla Walla, Wash., Feb. 10.
The Columbia and Snake Hirer Ancil
lary Waterway convention, consisting
of delegates from Washington, Oregon,
and Idaho, has adopted resolutions ex
pressing belief that a ship railway, as
recommended by the Oregon delegation
in congress, is the most economical,
satisfactory and expeditious plan for a
permanent improvement of the dalles of
the Columbia river. The memorial to
the legislatures of Washington, Oregon
and Idaho sets forth that financial dis
tress prevails in the territory drained by
the Columbia, on account of inability of
the railroad companies to move the
grain crop at the proper time, and as a
temporary relief urges the construction
of a portage railway around the cas
cades and dalles, in order that the river
may be made navigable to the inland
empire.
Santa Fe-IMo Grande Absorption.
Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 10. A
rumor is current in railroad circles here
that a deal is on foot which will result
in the absorption of the Rio Grande
Western bv the Santa Fe company.
Presidents Manville and Palmer, of the
respective roads, have both been here
during the last few days and made trips
of inspection of the western lines, and
surface indications seem to give plausi
bility to the report that Aconsohdaiion
is being arranged. Having purchased
the Colorado Midland, with a terminus
at Grand Junction, the acquirement of
the Western would give the Santa Fe
increased advantages in obtaining coast
business and doubtless accelerate an ex
tension to San Francisco from Salt Lake
via the Yosemite Pass.

Earon Wissmann, on his return to the

captured in the act of selling slaves, and
he rebuked the insolence of the native
chiefs by compelling them . to come be

forwarded to the czar through Gen. De

is understood, the petition was submit
ted to the czar without being summar

pleased with the respectful manner in
which he was spoken of in the petition,
and that while it would be derogatory
to his dignity to change a line of policy

A Poor Maa Stand a Poor Show.
London, Feb. 11. Aveling, the so
cialist, having failed to make the de
posit required by the English law on
the Dart of a candidate for Darliament.
has been compelled to retire from the
contest in JNorthampton, ms nomina
tion being void. When the Social Dem
ocratic federation refused to advance
money for Aveling's candidacy it was
thought that tne Tones would do so in
order to keep him in the field and divide
the Liberal vote. The Tories, however,
chary of any dealings with Aveling for
fear that he might afteward expose the
connection between them and it, re
Bolved to let Aveling shift for himself.
This assures a Liberal victory at North

Ilaatro Fire,
Among the many good shots made
by the artillery on both sides, I think
one made by the Tenth Indiana bat
tery will rank away along up among
the best
The Tenth battery, then under
command of Captain Cox, was attach
ed to Wagner a brigade of General
Woods1 Sixth division. At the battle
of Stone River, December Sd, 1882,
it wat posted on the left of the rail
road in the field just south of the
round forest, and from fifty to one
hundred feet from where 5now stands
tha llasen monument. After doing
splendid work through tha heat of the
battle it waa reserved for them to
crown their day's work with the most
splendid shet ever seen. ' ,
V Everything on the right of the rail
road be:.v defeated and driven back,
a new line was formed along tha tracx
of tha rtiiriad from Wagner's brigade
to the rear, thus leaving it3 Tenth
Indiana bajttery and its infantry sup
port at the point of the angle made if
this new formation.
. After the new formation tha field
from the railroad wet, across the
Nashville pike to the Cedar forest that
had been fought' over to fiercely that
morning, became tbe neutral ground
on which either army must fight to
pass.
, The last attempt tbe confederates
made on the front gave Capt Cox an
opportunity to put in a flank shot in
full battery on a line of infantry not
fifty yards away that he took advant
age of and executed wjth a result most
horrible to witness. '
A charging column was formed by
the confederates on tbe high ground
to the southwest of the burned Craven
house, and in splendid ! order came
across that field until their right flank
was opposite and' some fifty yards
from tbo battery. Cox, in' the mean
time, saw the direction they were tak
ing and thinking they might offer
their flank to hint, wheeled hit six
guns to the riSit, placing them to
bear on a given .point, then awaited
the moment to fire.
' Every batteryman was at his post
Elx lanyards were held by six powder
besmearod men who knew that but a
moment more they would send a bolt
of death and destruction into the ranks
of a brave but unsuspecting , foe.
Steady, men; hold, fojp the word,"
said Cox, as he sat in hit saddle
watehfpg- for the supreme moment
On they came! What a splendid line!
Their guns glistened in the descending
western' sun. Oh, how" beautiful
sight this moment, and oh, how hor
rible the nextt "Ready, fire," rang
out clear and distinct above the din
of battle to the right of us. The
smoke rose, and there- kfc. one long
winrow of death lay half of that splen
did line, while the others were seek
ing safety in flight. "We,t knocked
the bull's-eye," said Cox. "A cheer
and a tiger," said his infantry sup
port, and then rang out a prolonged
hurrah for the Tenth Indiana Volun
teer battery. T'cf.
Tbo Wilderness. ' ':.
Replying to Joseph II. 1 Carter's
Wilderness article recently published
as to Rice's Brigade, of the Fifth
Corps, being under Hancock at the
Plank road on the 6th of May, I will
stale that late in the aftarnoon of
May 5, Gen. Hancock was having a
severe engagement, and . called for
help. Gen. ; . Wadaworth,,- with his
Division and part of Robinson's Divi
sion, was ordered to report to Gen.
Hancock. Gen. Wadsworth was direc
ted to move his command so that he
would strike the Confederate left flank.
at that time stretched across the
Flank road and facing Hancock's
Corps. Gen. Wadsworth reached a
point near the Confederate flank,
where, owing to the density of the
Wilderness and darkness, he was ob
liged to halt for the night.
Capt. Meredith, of Gen. Wads-
worth's staff, was sent back to Gen.
Warren to report the situation and
bring up ammunition. The Captain
returned at 3 o'clock a. m., with or
ders to push forward at earliest dawn
and report to Hancock. - The Confed
erate commander finding a body of
troops approaching his flank, -with
drew during the night .to. relieve his
flank from Wads worth's' morning at
tach:. ' ,
Gen. Wadsworth' 8 command moved
forward and formed the right flank of
the Second Corps, then wheeled to
the right with the left on the Plank
road, and moved forward in line with
Gen. Hancock, Gen. Wadsworth
called for more troops to extend his
line to the right, learning the enemy
had extended past his flank, and it
was then that a brigade of the Ninth
Corps came and reported to Gen
Wadsworth.
Gon. Hancock sent word to Gen
Wadsworth to look out for his left on
the Flank road, as the Second Corps'
left was yielding to a Confederate
charge. Gen. Wadsworth seeing the
Confederate lines on his left across
NO
the Plaak road, paaclcs by 1.1 J Zz.",
