of dead bodies , but Gcnciat Logan's swarthy
complexion makes the change , lie wns dark
In complexion and since death the face has
not the whlto death look , consequently It Is
morn llfe-llko than otherwise. Ills heavy

multitude present at and In the capital to-day
ciurtn-c the Locan obsequies state that tlio
expression was utmost universal in favor of
the election hero of a largo bulldlnsr or hall
to be used at iuaiiKiiials , funerals and other
state occasions when people are hero from all
over the union aswell as from this vicinity.
The halls of the two houses of congress are
FO limited In she respectively that tickets of
admission must be issued In order to prevent
an overwhelming crush. This always gives
rlso to cmuges , of discrimination and par.
tiallty and much hard feelings and smothered
wrath Is the result. Of course the oftlccrs In
chaigc of tun arrangements do the best they
can and tickets are distributed as fairly as
possible among the citizens of the different
states who may be here , but after all thev get
nothing but ccns'.ire tiom those left out in
the cold , and they are In the majority.
TUB MAKINK SlIllVlCK.
Friends of the ofticials employed in the
revenue marine service propose to make an
other attempt In congress at an early day to
secuiu for them some ol the privileges
which their brother olllcers in the navy en joy.
At present 10venue marine men aio cov-
eincd by a strict militaiy code , and yet they
aie retarded only as civil officers of the
navy. In the navy department au olllcpr who
serves live years Is entitled to an additional
compensation of 10 per cent , after that time ,
and for caeh five years ot seivico beyond
that an additional 10 per cent , is added to his-
salary. In the revenue marine service , how
ever , a man who may be appointed to a lieu-
tenantcy or any ether commissioned rank ,
draws the same pay ttoojear ho leaves the
seivico as he does when he lirst enters ,
provided he receives no promotion in the
meantime. It Is as difficult for
any one to secure nn appointment In this
branch of the jrpvernmental service as it is
into either the an. % or navy except that the
appointments jutf made from civil life and
not from an aca'dopy. Still the examina
tions are of them * . , „ rigid character both as
to the mental and physical qualifications of
the applicant , rnd } in ail other respects the
navy rules apply. The life of an ollicer In
the revenue marine service , too. is far more
arduous than that of hia fellow In the navy
proper , for while the former Is confined to
his ship y ar aftur year , fiequently without a
change of station in a decade , the latter
usually has three years of sea service and
then three yeais of shore duty , and besides
ho is sent fiom rlace to place which seems to
bteak the monotony of life on ship boaid.
The naval men , however , hnve < 9tioni ; In
fluences always * ? adyto work In their be
half among the social people of Washington ,
while the icvemiQ niniine , being A much
smaller service , fias few friends at court , and
in the past IceMation for its benefit has
been exceedingly difficult to secure.

Fnots About the Kobbery.
CHICAGO , Dee. til. [ Special Tclegiam to
the Uir , ] In MI Interview this afternoon
Billy Plnfeoilon said : Three months ago
Wltirock and Halght were together In
Chicago planning thoe\pross robbery. They
needed some counterfeit letter heads of the
Adams express company and wcro mightily
pnrzlcd how to got them without suspicion *
1'Inally they went to a certain job printer
licro to whom Wittrock told this narrative :
lie said they wcro Irlomls of a certain politi
cal candidate then running for a Cook county
office. It was Impoit.Mil to his Interests that
they should get out a secret clicnlar and they
wanted access to the printing office. The
Job printer was willing for a consldcia-
tlon to retire and leave his vlsltois to com
mune with the type , ink , paper and picss.
They locked themselves In but vvoicunsuc-
ce sful , and at the end of an bom's time
Wittrock unlocked the door and told the
printer just what they wanted.
"What do you propose to do with Adams
express letter hcadsV" asked the primer.
"Wo want some to use so we can gcliall-
road passes , " saldollalght.
The printer consented to assist them and ,
taking hold of the job. had the letter heads
ready the fame day. For his work they pala
him S3. The printer , I am certain , at that
time did not expect to hear further from the
case. You know what part the counterfeit
letter heads played. A few weeks after the
robbery Halght , Wlttrouk , Weaver , ami Jack
and Oscar Cook , becoming alarmed at the
publicity given the letter head business , con
cluded that the safest course would be to
"square" the printer who executed the job.
They thought S'.OOO would Insure his silence.
The printer should have Immediately re
potted the case to the police , but ho didn't ,
lie was bacily f i Ightcncu , and after counting
the wealth put It away without extracting n
dollar.
"Uo\v much money was taken from Foth-
crlngham V"
"About $03,000 , of which amount wo shall
recover betvveeii.S4S,000 and 849.000. "
"When will the round-up bo finished ? "
"It has como to a ho.id as far as at rests are
concerned. "
"What about FothcringhamV'
"Wo ic aid three men as principals in this
case at least that Is our theory Wittrock ,
Fotbcrlngham and Ilalght. Ficd and the ex
press mos'eugor vvoie to tret the blgpestshares
of the divide , llalght being tiio thud man in
the deal and the others getting enougli to
' .square * them. Of course there are many
minor details which only the trial will de
velop. "

STRANGE WIUM OF A TOUI'EDO.
Nitro-Glyrcrino Holts Down n Hill
Without 10lolnji. | ! .
FHANITI.IX , Pa. , Dee. ai. A great many
narrow escapes trom nltto-glyceilne explo
sions In the oil legions have been recorded ,
but none over occurred since the introduc
tion of the explosive so miraculous as the
onorepoited from a a magazine a few miles
from this city. A torpedo agent visited the
magazine to got a Uvcntv-tlvo quart
can of nltro-glyceilnt' . The magazio
is on ( lie summit of a high
and steep hill. At the bottom of the hill Pat
rick Bunds lives w ith his family. After tak
ing the can , out of nls safe the agent car-
i led It out to the toad , whore lie placed it
on the tfttnifVd'whlio he returned to the.mag-
nzlno to close the safe befoie placing ttio tor
pedo In'his wagon , which stood in the road
near by.
While ho was at the magazine something
frightened the horses and they backed the
wagon against the can , upsetting It , It at
once began to loll down tlio lilll towards
Hand's house. The agent gaed after the
roll I nor can with lion or , for us It wont
thumping along be expected every second
to sec it explode nnd bprcad death and de
struction around. Stiango to wiy , the con
cussions It met with did not explode. It , nnd
as it neared the house at the footol the hill
tlio agent closed his eyes , us the can was
headed straight tor the side of the bouse and
ho could not imagine anv thing .so mltactilous
as the non-explosion of the nltro-Flyccrlno
attor that collision.
The can struck tlio side of the house , and
although It rebounded hovcral feet from the
lorco of the shock , it did not explode. It
was some time bcloio the agent could 10-
cover sulllclently trom the nervous shock to
make his way down the hill and iccovur the
can. In the meantime Mr. linmlsliad come
out of the house to see what the mutter was ;
but did not discover tlio can.Vbon thu
agent reached the house ho told Mic. liuiids
what had iMppoiicd , and ho picked up the
can. The woman , although the danger
.she and her family had been subjected
to had pabscd , was so terrified at hearing that
a torpedo tiad lolled with such ure.it loico
ag.iinsther house , that she um iiibldo , and
bringing Her tlireo childicn with her ran
away from the house as fast as she could
po , ann never stopped until she reached this
city , where her husband was at vvoik.
A torpedo could not ho subjected to sueh
rough usage ns this one was without explod
ing once In ten thousand times. 11 It had ex
ploded not.-i tragnumt would have been left

Knnuiiitiu History.
LOUISVH.UJ , Dec. ! ! ! . Mi.s. Hanley , who
died at NlcholasvIIIo n few days ago , had n
lonmntlo history. Her husband , Major dat-
ten 11 nn Icy , was the Kail of Landoff , In Ire

was compelled to leave his home. Coming
to this country ho settled within halt
a mlle of Nlcholabvllle. In an

Ilunlcy was born In 1KH , and wlien ho was
eight yea is old ho was on a visit with bis
mother to the home of JIaul.sun Daniel. On
tills very day Mrs. llanly was born , and the
two i nut I UTS pledged their children to each
other. They grew up as playmates , and as
children Joyed each other. Afterward.Major
llanly moved to MUslsslppi , but came back
in l&V ) and married Mis * Fannlu Daniel.
Immediately upon tbeii niarilugu they re
turned to Mississippi , where they remained
eleven years.
Major Ilunly served during the entire war.
Mrs. Jlanly was with him the whole tlmn.miil
waspresent In every battle he was In with
one exception. Strange to say. In no battle
in which Mrs. llanly wan with her husband
was he wounded , but In the onoou the linu
between Dalton and Atlanta , from which bho
was absent , ho was badly wounded ,
Mrs. llauly , while with her hus
band on the battlefield and In camp ,
busted herself In attending to the
wants of the soldleis , nursing the sick and
callus for tlo | wsll. She bo endeared her
self tp her husband's comrades that there
was nothing that any ono of them would not
do for her. Fear was something that she knew
uothinual'out , and many times she tat ou the
battlefield amid the roar ot cannon and mus
ketry as calmly ns though In her own home.
At the battle of Pcrryvflln , Ky. , when ( ? en-
