That period in the history of the great
plains prior to the establishment of fail-
road communication between the western
states and the Pacific coast , when the
pony express ntid Bon Ilnlliday's stages
were the only speedy means of transit
between the two sections , was ono of violence
lence , of ndvonturo , o thrilling encoun
ter between savage whiten nnd still more
savage Indians ; made notorious by mur
der and robbery , and , through the numer
ous vigilance committees which sprang
into existence in nearly every town and
mining camp , became noted for the short
shrift and sudden rope which were the
invariable accompaniments of justice as
administered in the many courts under
the jurisdiction of Judge Lynch. The
unwritten history of those days would fill
many a volume with tales so exciting and
bloody that the most ardent ndmiror of
the sontnttonnl and violent in litorutum
would find nothing lacking. It was the
era of the road ngont nnd tlioaowi\lk _
ing-arsenals whoso chief claim for diatlnc-
tin rested in the fact that each had "killed
his man , " nnd perhaps had passed so far
beyond that stage to the proud ono of
bolnt ? the proprietor of n private comp-
tory , the ocupants of which were laid
low by his own knife or revolver.
J10IlDF.il UVK.
Those days have so long passed away
that now it is only nuini-occnsionally
that ono is found who was nn active par
ticipant in the border life of twenty years
ago ; but when such a ono is found nnd
clioaso to tnlk , his tab is interesting in
the extreme. A man of thono days is
Charlofl E. Parks , n veteran stage man ,
who , for over n quarter of n century was
connected with the various overland
Hinge routoi and those which ponotrntod
into the wilds of Montana and Idaho , the
homo of the highwayman and bandit ,
and the scone of some of the most bloody
and unprovoked murders which stained
the onrly history of the settlement and
development of the territories. To a re
porter of The Call Parks related many of
the incidents connected with his life on
the plains. Corponning ran the first
overland stage out of Independence , Mis
souri ; Parks was associated with him ,
but savored his connection in 1850 , and
in the following year joined Johnson's
expedition , which was sent out by Presi
dent Buchanan against the Mormons.
A compromise was made , however , and
the expedition wont inta winter quarters
at Tort Bridgor , where they experienced
great hardships , being so reduced that
they were forced to subsist for some time
upon mule steak and barley. Ho re
mained nt his post until 1800 , when ho
ro-ontorod the eoryico of the stage com
pany , nnd while in its employ was sent
to Door Lodge , to buy the first ponies
used by the pony express , purchasing
them of old John Grant , who was well
known to all mountaineers. Ho re
mained in and about Salt Lake City until
gold was discovered in Idaho and Mon
tana , when ho was transferred to that
division of the overland stage line which
was superintended by the notorious
Slado , whoso bloody career and violent
and nro a part of the history of the bor
der. Ho remained in thin employ until
the Hummer of 1805. Some of the inci
dents of his oubscquout career ho relates
as follows :
A § 75,000 HOIUIEHY.
\ "On July ID , 1805 , 1 was connected ,
with Bon Holiday's express , as agent on
the route between Virginia , Montana ,
and Salt Lake , Utah. On the data men
tioned I was on the stage coach , which
contained several passengers ntid n
treasure-box with $75,000 in gold dust.
The stage was bound south , going
towards Salt Lake. At n plnco railed
Porto NouC canon , 100 tnilos north of
Salt Lake , wo were attacked by a band of
nine highwaymen , during which four of
the passengers were killed , and I was
wounded in twenty-six places. Previous
to the attack wo mot ono of the robbers ,
who was riding along the road , nnd ho
got some kind of a signal , ns wo after
wards learned , from the driver , by which
the highwayman was informed that there
was n box containing thousands of del
lars' worth of gold dust aboard the stago.
Suddenly ho spurred ahead and was soon
out of sight. On reaching n place where
the willows were thick ono of the passen
gers saw a man stop from the thicket ,
und , being apprehensive of trouble ,
cocked his revolver and prepared to defend -
fend himself in coao of an attack. Sim
ultaneously eight other men caino out of
the bushes nnd ordered the driver of the
ittago to halt. I { old the driver to go ru ,
but ho did not , and , observing the attitude -
tudo of the robbers , 1 saw that wo mnst
present a bold front to the enemy , as wo
were in close quarters , and , if attacked ,
sell our lives as dearly as possible , for
they cared nothing for the lifo of any one
und would show us no moroy. I imme
diately fired at the band nnd they simul
taneously fired on us , killing four of the
passengers , Qoorgo Parker , a prominent
man of Montana , Jack McOauslin , a
fugitive from justice , who killed Ids
partner and was on his way east , Dave
Diamond , n "freighter , " nnd Louia
Murrs , n contractor ,
XWHNTV.HIX WOUNDS ,
I was wounded" In twonty-six places ,
and twelve of the balls , which were from
navy revolvers , nnd buckshot fired from
double-barreled shotguns , are in mo now.
Four of the Bhots entered my right foot
nnd ankle , making amputation necessary ;
lit teen in hip and thigh , two in my breast
and BOVOII in hands and arms. A pas
senger named Uarpontor , wlion the firing
began , dropped down in the coach , Rob
inson-fashion , and , by playing "possum"
escaped uninjured. Another named
Brown got out out on the other side un
observed nnd hid in the bushes. The
stage was ransacked , the troaiuro carried
olT , and I was left for dead. The des
peradoes thought that no traoo of thorn
was left to toll the story , On the re
turn stage the murdered pauongors were
taken to Snake River and buried. Park
er's wife , when she learned of his sad
fate , went crazy. I stayed at ono of the
overland bouse * until I could go to Now
York and got un artiticial log. I then
cimo back and went into the employ of
the express company , and remained with
them until transferred to Wells , Fargo
& Co. , where I remained until recently ,
when I resigned to go into business. The
company hod been very kind to mo , and
has sent mo twice to Now York , for I
had to liavo my leg amputated twice , but
It is now getting on ilnoly , The tcrriblo
tragedy aroused the people in the moun
tain towns. Search was made for the
highwaymen , and , at last , four of them
wuro captured and hanged by the vigi
lante * . The driver of the coach was im
plicated and was haugud at Denver three
months after the attain It appeared
from the drivor'a confession that for two
weeks previous to the attack the baadiU
had been encamped near the place whuru
the passenger * were killed and the rob-
b ry occurred. They knew that all
trwuuro woa tratuferred to the Snake
drivct , if thcro was any money in the
treasure box.

It might have boon Solomon , but most
likely it was some of the Lnttor Day Mor
mons , who remarked that there were only
two interesting events in n man's lifo.
The first was when hair began tocomo on
his upper lip , and the second when it
commenced to go from the top of _ his
head. When n person nt pa to consider
how much attention is bestowed on these
appendages , and how small most of them
are in spite of all their nursing , the rank
they take among objects of interest seems
very remarkable. A doting father at the
South Kiul has boon watching the un
folding of his son's upper lip from downy
bloom through all the atagos to hirsute
callowncBs with a closeness of scrutiny
that only n fond parent can bestow , nnd
has arrived at some startling conclusions.
Ho wa * talking of his family o'no day last
week in n drug store , and , after alluding
to the detention of vhis youngest , which
had just taken place , ho dropped oil' into
a reverie and said : "Yes , teething is
bad enough , the Lord knows ; but , for
real trouble genuine anguish , you know
there in nothing like a mustache
that has sprouted and just begun
to break ground. My boy Jack had it
dreadful nbouc two years ago , nnd ho
hasn't recovered yet. Why , the way that
follow noted was enough to break your
heart. Ho would stand before the glass
for n half n day at n time , looking nt his
face and. rubbing it in terrible agony.
No wand then ho would make n frantic
grab nt his upper lip , nnd stretching it
out over his tooth the wnv a butcher does
a piece of tripe when ho is cleaning it , ho
would rivet his eyes on ono corner of his
mouth nnd say 'golly , ' in a way that made
UH think ho was going mad. By and by
n few hairs came up on each side of his
nose , and whun ho had got eight llttlo
eanlings on ono aide , nnd nine on the
other , ho commenced to twist them for
nil ho was worth. Such coiling , and
twisting , ana fondling , and patting , nnd
nursing I never saw in my born days.
Eight hours every day wna devoted to
this work , and frequently ho got in toner
or twolvo. Giving it a speed of about
six revolutions a minute , ho would
sit facing a 'mirror and work away
without paying attention to nnyono. Now
working eight hours a day at a rate of
six turns a minute ho makes 8,010 twista
between the time ho gets up nnd goes to
bed again , and continuing at the same
speed for a year it reaches the enormous
number of .U,103,000 more revolutions
than the earth has made since the azoio
period. Why , it ho had boon boring an
artesian well with an auger and turned
the crank ns often ns ho has his mustache ,
and worked at it as steadily , ho would
have made a hole over six miles deep in
a year , allowing the nugor to cut only
one-eighth of an inch to every turn. If
ho hud gene to work in n not factory the
labor ho has put into those seventeen
hairs would have twisted marlin enough
to catch all the fish that swim and have
enough over to fence a hon-pard of n
million acres. It has troubled him
so much that ho sensitive ,
nnd the least allusion to it makes him ns
mad as n bumble boo. Only last week his
cousin Jounio came down from Vermont
on a visit , nnd when she had kissed mo
and-my wife aho looked up to my boy
nnd said : "Why , Jackoy , what a dizzy
little mustache you have got. " Jack
turned as rod as a rooster , nnd my wife ,
knowing how sensitive ho wns , tried to
keep peace in the family by sayihg : 'If
you had soon how much ho turned it
round and round you wouldn't wonder ,
it is enough to make anybodydizzy. ' Then
Jack said , 'Ohoeso it , mother , ' and loft
the room in an awful fit of temper. Ho
won't como into the room where Jennie
is , nnd his mother is wondering what
makes him net so odd. All I can nay
about it is that a father who has a boy
with n sprouting mustache is a terribly
nllliotod parent , nnd ho has my sympathy ,
for I have boon there. " Ho arose after
making these observations , and wandered
dejectedly homeward.

0 on. Egvort L. Violo presented his report -
port of the practical workings of the cnblo
railway in Chicago to the commissioners
of Rapid 'Jransit yesterday afternoon.
The number of horses , ho said , used in
thoJ102 miles of surface railway in Chica
go was 1,700 , The number has decreased
to 1,001 since the introduction of the
cable system in 1882 , and 2,500 would bo
necessary to perform the work now done
on the ! ! 0 iiiiloa of cable railway. The
number of cars has increased from GO to
180. And the number of passengers car
ried from 24,000,000 to 27,000,000. The
cost of operation is estimated from 45 to
50 nor cent less than horse-power. The
cable is 1 1- inches in diameter , made of
Swedish steel , With a hempen core , and
is composed of six strands , each strand
containing 1G wires. It is warranted for
six months , and is apparently little af
fected by frost or rust Only eno stop.
page has occurred in six months , and thut
but for an hour. A thorough examina
tion is made every midnight , and acci
dents are , rarer than with horse car * .
There are manholes for repairs at
every 50 foot. The bestcharactomtica
in the working of the system are "unlimi
ted capacity , freedom from filth , n perfect
ease of motion , and a promptness in slatt
ing and stopping without a shock. "

Como up nnd see some hogs , " said Mr.
Charles Roho to a friend yesterday. The
hogs were piled along Thirty-third street
from Mr. Roho's place to the corner of
Eighth nvonuo , over 100 feet distant.
"To fully comprehend the size of these
hogs , " said M. Roho , "ft little compari
son is necessary. Thus a neat little
phaeton inaro weighs anywhere from 800
to 000 pounds. An ordinary roadster
weighs somewhere near 1000. A good
farm ho'rso will go from 1200 to 11500
pounds. Of the twenty hogs piled along
Thirty-third street , the runt weighs SCO
pounds.
The weights of the others were painted
on their rounded jaws , and ran from 873
to 10 ! > 8 pounds. Twenty of them weighed
19,018 pounds. Four of them measure n
cord. The breeds nro known as rod and
white Jerseys.
"Whoro did they all como from ? "
"Burlington , N. J. , " said Mr Roho.
"Thoy were raised by Mr. John Carter.
He's got some more like thorn , only ono
is largorl They dress down about 15 per
cent. These hogs had a bettor house to
live in tnan n third of the people of this
city havo. Each hog had a separata stall
that was kept clean and sweet by constant
attention and unlimited fresh bedding.
They were cared for just as fast horses
aro. They were fed on meal and milk.
As a lot they are the heaviest over brought
to Now York , or over raised , for that
matter. The largest ono of the lot is the
largest hog on record except ouo not
slaughtered yet. "
"Did it pay ? "
"Yes and no. The gratification of boat
ing the record is always worth the ex
pense ; but lighter hogs yield more money
on the investment. "

A novel event in the matrimonial line
occurred last night at Kohl &MiddIetou's
South Side museum , being the marriage
of Miss Jennie Loundora and Frank St.
Clair. The former is an "attraction" of
the museum whoso fortune consists of n
double allowance by nature ill the matter
of fingers and toes. The bridegroom is
olio an attache of the museum. Shortly
before 0 o'clock the curtain rose before a
very largo audience , attracted by the
promise of witnessing a sure-enough wed
ding in a theatre foe only 10 cents. To
the inspiring strains of a wedding polka
the bridal party "took the stago. " The
bride was attired in n handsome white
nteol satin dress , with a profusion ot
orange blossoms. The genaral effect was
crowned with a peaceful smile. The
groom wore the customary black , The
bridesmaid was Miss Lottio Grant , the
fat girl of the show , nud the longboarded
man of the establishment figured as best
man. The ceremony was performed by
Itov , W. D , Smock , who acted like a fish
out of water. The candidates for nuptial
bliss , their "freak" attendonta and the
frightened minister , presented a spectacle
which the mixed crowd composing the
audience could regard only aa ludicrous.
The scone was entirely robbed of solemn
ity by the running tire of comment of the
spectators , who , unable to hiuir a word of
tno ceremony , felt licensed to do some
talking. Thi ) oeromonv ovir. coniiratula-
upon the newly-wedded pair , whoso lives
nnd whoso fingers nnd toes are supposed
to bo blended "for bettor or worse. "
Kohl & Middlcton gave the bride n diamond

was present in uniform , presented the
bride with a silver service.

Seeing recently in n lengthy article
relative to the death of the Confederate
Oonoral Morgan , I was led to contribute
this paper. Having boon personally and
intimately acquainted since the war with
Lieutenant Andrew J. Campbell ( who is
without question the man who shot Mor
gan ) I will hero give n brief sketch of the
manasloarncd from himself. Ho was born
and roared in Belfast , Ireland ; received
fair education ; served nn apprenticeship
to ft J grocer , and came to this country
after his majority , which was just at the
opening of the wnr ; worked ns n grocer's
clerk in several southern cities , drifting
to Helena , Arkansas.
Just at this time (1802) ( ) the rebel "con
script act" waa in lively operation in Ar
kansas , and young Campbell _ having
strong union sentiments determined to
make his way up north. Accordingly lie
hired the deckhands of nn "up-river"
stoamnr to stow him away nmong the
freight. Ho was discovered , however ,
nnd , nftor being kicked : n n brutal man
ner by the mates of the boat , was put
ashore on ono of the uninhabited islands
of the Mississippi. Hailing the first boat
that was passing down , ho was taken back
to Helena , whereto save further trouble ,
ho enlisted in the confederate army.
Being intelligent and applying his mind
dilligontly to the study of the nrmy tac
tics , ho was soon uromotcd to- the rank of
first sergeant. This position ho kept till
the battle of Stone lliver , when he deserted -
sorted nnd camp into the union lines.
Ho next enlisted in the Thirteenth Tcn-
nessoo ( union ) cavalry , where wo find
him on the memorable morning of Mor
gan's death.
In Juno , 18G4 , General Gillom , upon
learning that the noted "guerrilla chief
tain" waa nt Greenville , Tonn. , dispatched
Colonel Ingorton with five hundred monte
to surprise , nnd if possible , capture Mor
gan and his band. 1 should state hero
that the informrtion of the rebel's where
about was convoyed to the Union lines by
Miss Lucy Williams of Greenville , at
whoso house Morgan at that very time
had his headquarters. It Is said that
that young lady had a lover in the Union
ranks , and was therefore prompted to
make the daring ride of eighteen miles to
the federal lines during a terrific rain and
thunder storm. The federals , led by Miss
Lucy , approached within a mil and a half
of Greenville , when a halt was called , and
Captain Wilcox , with fifty picked mon , of
whom Campbell was one , were sent to
make a dash upon Morgan's headquarters.
It was 4 o'clock n. m. when the Williams
mansion was reached.
The Yankees quietly surrounded the
place , which had scarcely been accom
plished when the alarm was given by
Mrs. Williams , Lucy's mother , nnd Mor
gan and his staff were aroused from their
slumbers , .and , half dressed , made n
hasty effort to escape. Morgan , grasping
his pistol , quickly passed out the back
way nnd ran into a bower of grape vinos.
Hero ho wns confronted by Campbell ,
who ordered him to surrender. Instead
of complying ho raised his pistol , only to
receive two shots from Campbell's car
bine , when ho fell and died almost in
stantly. Campbell had not the least idea
whom ho had killed , ns Morgan was only
half dressed nnd were no insignia oj
rank. The skirmishing had now become
general , and an Campbell galloped up
street ho heard some ono calling tohim. _
Turning suddenly about ho saw n citizet :
running toward him , and asking him il
ho ( Campbell ) know what ho had done ,
ho replied thnt h ° did not , whercupor
the citizen told him ho had shot Genera"
John Morgan.
After the excitement had abated the
two returned to where the dead man lay
and taking a letter from his pocket thoj
read with no little astonishment to Camp
bell , the name , General John A. Morgan
Campbell vras soon after promoted to
second lieutenant of volunteers. At the
close of the war ho wont to Evansville
Indiana , whore ho married. A few
months later ho removed to Louisville
Kentucky , where he established n littl
express business and was .just settling
down to an uneventful citizen's lifo vrhei
ho received a letter from Waahingtoi
stating that ho had boon made n lieutenant
nant in the regular army "for meritoriou
conduct during the war. " If ho wa
astonished when ho learned that ho hac
killed a confederate general ho wa
thunderstruck now. In u short time
however , ho received hio comtnissioi
with an order from the war depavtmon
to report far duty to the commandin
ollicer at Fort Smith , Arkansas. It wa
not long until ho was promoted to firs
lieutenant.
In the prime of lifotall and well-built
a bold and dashing oliuora ( kind-hearted
affable gentleman , ho won the heart o
both superiors and inferiors. Having a
fondness and aptness for military tactics
his promotion would have been rapid bu
for ono failing that caused his downfall
Like so many of his countrymen he wa
addicted to drink. This , in spite of hi
many good qualities , led him into dis
grace with his commanding officer , nnd ii
fear of further disgrace and court-mariia
ho sent in his resignation , and retired , to
private lifo.
When the writer know him.ln 1875 ho
was living very humbly upon asmallfarn
near Carlyle , Arkansas.
Hit still takes his drink , which accounts
I Buppoao , for his poverty , and it is only
when ho is'undcr the influence of the
"ardent" that ho ever mentions his war
record.
I may add by way of postscript that
