Near tbe entrance to Roaemont cemetery, this city, stands a monu ment to the memory of Calvin Cro- tier, a heroic son of the Lone Star State, whese sacred remains rest be neath. The Story of his splendid he roism, which Inspired him to risk Bis life to defend the honor of South Car- 'nllna women, and to give that life to save that of an innocent man, and of his murder by negro ruffians who wort the uniform of the United States army, is well told in the following article by Octavia Zolllooffer Bond, which appeared in a recent issue cf the News and Courier: I would be glad to "eat the, slop from your kitchen," wrote Calvin Crozler to his mother when about to leave the Indianapolis military prison in April, 1805. To say that be was "one of Mor gan^* apen” presents to the imaglna- . tloo the picture of a stal wart Kw> 'tdeky tamper, .which .Gwtiir^v^Sfl' Dot. On the contrary he was a rather boy ish looking Texan for his 25 years of age. Barely five feet, eight inches in height, slender, with fair complexion and dark brown hair, lie had a mild expression of countenance which, ex cept for the steely gleam of the steady blue eyes, was not suggestive of tbe bold and determined character of the captive Con federate. Few would have taken him to be what Be really was, one of the most daring of Morgan’s intrepid raiders, one, moreover, who had been early seasoned in arms, an Indian fighter on the border, under Gen. Ross, Just before the outbreak of the civil war. Especially did he ap pear now, at the end of nearly two years’ imprisonment and ill treatment, a harmless creature. "Almost starved to death,” as he wrote his family, sick and pitifully thin, he had hardly the strength to button bis faded gray jacket and ,walk out of the prison gates that had been thrown open-fey the surrender at Appomattox. Tbe type of thousands who like himself lad fought for a principal with wti-h4s Might, and lost, he faced about and began to consider, in a dazed sort of way, bow be was to reach home. Ah, the Galveston home with its sunshine and flowers and its bountiful board, should he never see it againV How dearly he remembered the patriotic hxatetkm of spirit in which he^ had left It to iJln Good’s Light Artillery at Dallas In 1861. Well, too, he re- memhered the enthusiasm of his first grant Battle at Elk Born, (Pea Rldge») where brave McCuliuch fell, the march eastward to Corinth, where he was transferred to tbe command of Gen. Gaos, aa well as tbe reckless ar dor with which be had refused to re turn to Texas wbeb Gtas was ordered ^sdk, and had persisted In going for ward to join John Morgan, "where there is mors fighting.” Now all was changed. There were nednaba and fifes, no comrades and, want of all, no hope* It was a long to walk back to Galveston, and >111. Yet the effort must be made. sFor there alone might be And lest from his utter weariness in the , loving mlDlstoat! ions of father, moth ered mo dear sisters, and possi bly a rsonon With the five brave brothers, tKa, like ^himself, bad dedicated all to toe South in the beginning of the great conflict. By slow stages the re- tom waabegun. Three States in suc cession were crossed by the feet-sore Confederate. With the help of sympathizing compatriots, many of whom had been left by the chances of 7 war almost as destitute as himself, he painfully pursued bis journey. In the "Old North State” a benevolent doo^ tor was his good Samaritan, nursing him back to loom para live health by weeks of faithful part and enabling film, with timely aid, to' make the ' toe journey home by rail.

In those disjointed "reconstruction times'’ travel was not altogether safe for a much less fer a womaa. Espeoi* as this true in NawBtofcr,'where regiment of- 0. a., negro Ool.

Another uniformed ne gro now showed himself and joined with tbe first in violently refusing to go. In the altercation and struggle which followed Crozler managed to eject them both from the oar, when one of them moved off Id tbe direction of the camp. But, tbe other still made determined resistance. Out oo the tracks, in tbe darkoeas, the white man and tbe black closed In desperate fight, in which Croizer drew bln knife and slashed across tbe back of the ne gro's neck, inflicting a wound all too slight for his desert. At which tbe cowardly creature fled after his com rade yelling: "I am cut! I'm cut!” Crozler was not slow to realize the danger of bis own position. Tbfe town was practically in the power of the colored troops. For an Ex-Con federate law and justice did not exist at that Ume; and at best there were two witnesses (o.swear falsely against him, both members of a race to whom lying is natural. His only safety was to disappear under cover of darkness, which was immediately and effective ly done. None too soon had Crozler left the spot. The awful sound of an enraged mob was gathering In the distance. With increasing noise it came nearer and nearer. Presently fifty or more Infuriated blacks were swarmlag around tbe station, roaring for vengeance on tbe white man. While .they were searching for their Intended vteUip ^j^-’JTlfePOb Botfefs, the section . master; came up from Helena to superintend the.righting of. the cars. He was pounced upon by four of tiie mad crowd, who excitedly cried out: "Here he Is!" and drag ged him forward Into the midst of the others who had gathered on the sta tion platform. Crozler cduld bear Bowers declaring his innocence, while the’4renzled*soldlers, refusing to be lieve him, were denouncing him with oaths and curses. They were for shooting him at once and despite his protestations were leading’ him off to kteibhB.;.: -.. , ■ It was a crucial test for a man’s soul. Silence on Calvin Crozier’s part would Insure his own safety. A mo ment more and the section master would he sacrificed in his stead, iiut the hero who within the hour had jeopardized his life in defense of help less womanhood was not of the ndould to let another pay the penalty of his daring act. There was no choice left to his noble spirit. Instantly emerg ing from his hiding place -he gave himself up boldly asserting that It was he, not Bowers, who had done the cutting. Upon ' which the section master was released and the new vic tim was grabbed, bound fast and hur ried by the blvonac of the wounded negroe’s regiment, where he was kept under tfuard the remainder of the night. That he was not killed on the spot was owning solely to the ser geant, who insisted that he must be taken to headquarters. One would think that, however violent mem bers of an antagonistic race may have been in thell fury against him that be might have looked for protec tion from Trowbridge, the colonel of the regiment, who passed for a white man. Ou the contrary, the only mercy shown him was from a negro subordl- nate officer who,^willing to save a noble life, urged tbe prisoner to take back wbat he had said and deny that he was t)*e dne who had wounded tbe soldier. ’But Urozier stoutly refused to recant, saying: "Loose me and l will show you whether l am the man or not." Higher officers were appealed to in vain to save him. On being question ed by Ool. Trowbridge be acknowl edged the deed, explaining that he acted from a sens* of duty and boWiy declaring: "I would do it again.” Io answer to which be was told that the act would oost him his life. In short. Crazier was promptly con demned to death without even the form of a trial and was not allowed communication with any citizen while aWfdtlng his doom. About daylight on the following morning (Friday, September 8J.toe regiment wasdrawn up in line of march. Slow drum beats marked off tbe remaining moments of tbe prisoner's life while he was be ing led a few yards from tbe camp. He was halted on the brink of a shallow hole,' freshly dug hr ttfe earth, and ordered to kneel. There was a flash of guns In tbe murky dawn and the martyred Crozler fell lifeless. A^reli- able citizen, who bad ventured near to watob the tragedy, saw tbe de- , mooiacal troops throw the. still warm body into the hole, then jump upon A STRANGE CASE. . “iomiah Beautiful Actress Makes Strange Charges Against a Doctor.

Archie was accompanied to tbe Rtatioa,by another woman, who said the was Miss Gertrude Whalen, of No. 63 West Forty-eighth street. The latter explained the visit. "This woman has been held a pris oner against her will in the home of one of New York’s best known doc tors,” she said. • _Tbe Sergeant came frono'feehind his desk and stood beside Miss Archie.

Their raded leader,' Trowbridge, was ^afterwards beard to declare that be took all the responslbllty of tbe kill ing on himself. There let it atuj the shame of it forever rest. -s During Friday morning the good people of Newberry visited the fatal spot where Calvin Crazier had been murdered. His honored remains were taken up and an inquest was. held by Silas Johnstone, intendant, acting ooronef, in which much testimony was taken that elicited the Jfacts above slated. The body was then reverently coffined and laid to rest in the old cemetery of the town, attended by a large concourse of the best citizens Of Newberry. In 1890 a movement was started by the editor of the Newberry Ob server to erect a monument to Crozier’s memory. Three hundred dollars was Complete Mastodon Found. The complete, form of a mastodon has been discovered at Hillside, on Quartz Creek, according to a dispatch from Dawson, Y. T. It was imbedded 38 feet in the earth when found and the use of a steam thawing plant was necessary -to unearth the Immense animal. The hair and the skin of tbe beast are said to be in a perfect state of preservation, although the flesh is somewhat decomposed, and the big tusks which remain faster^ed to the skull are Jn good ccnditioh. jit is estimated that the skeleton is worth about 650,000, as there are but one or two in existence in as good condition as is this. The mastodon was dis covered burled in an old channel, well within tbe zone of almost- perpetual frost, which accounts for its excellent preservation. —-Lu*l HI* Flnwer*. The Augusta Chronicle says Willie, the flve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, M. F. Butlaj:, residing at 519 Broad street, had the thumb of one hand and two Angers of the other hand cut off Wednesday morning by a lawn mower. The little fellow was in the back yffrd of the home, with the other children of the household. Willie’s larger brother had the lawn mower playing with it. Willie had a wagon He has held me in the Albany apartment against my will, and until Miss Whalen came to see me Thurs day 1 simply was unable to tell my story to anybody, although 1 did manage to break the Influence once and get to a hospital. Whenever 1 made up my mind to tell tbe nurss about my case I seemed - to lose the power of speech. ■ "It is more than I can bear, and I appeal to you to save me from this mao,” she cried hysterically, bolding her arms toward tlie astonished ser geant. ' From Miss Whalen It was learned that Miss Archie came to this coun try a year ago with an English theat rical company. Last September she visited-Dr. Starken. and ' recently neighbors at the Albany believed they were man and wife. v- - Detective England overcame Miss Archie’s aversion to returning to the doctor’s apartment and they found Dr. Starken at home. He flew into a rage, but bis passionate outbreak end ed as abruptly as it began; . England was then invited to'sltdown, and tak ing Miss Archie’s band 'Dr. Starken led her to a chair. She bad been de fiant, but the moment he looked into her eyes they became dull and all sign of bysterla left her. "What can I do for you?" said the doctor to England. - ... • "Tljjjs woman accuses you of hold- ing her here against her will.

Tftecolumn of newspaper Com on Hanna’s death which you repro duced in the Republican of the 17th last, was surely melancholy enoug~h reading; for out of the whole number only two spoke the truth—the Boston Herald and the New York Evening Post. But none of these struck so low & note as Dr. Hale, tbe dean, in some sense, of our Unitarian clergy, the man who, by age, position and ex perience, ought to have spoken & high and resounding word for public mor ality and cl Vic conscience. I, for one, am inexpressibly shocked to find it possible that an eminent clergyman of the liberil faith can be so ignorant or so misguided as to call Hanna "a whole-souled cbild of God.” I say ig norant, fordoes not Dr* Hale know— what all the' rest of the world knows— that this man was simply tbe most accomplished political trader our cen tury and more of partisan politics has produced?" Did fife not know that httr advent in our natioftal politics was as the unblushing purchaser, for cash and for offices, of the greater, part of the Southern delegates at the Sto Louis Convenlion which nominated McKinley in 1896? Bribery and cor ruption are always vile, but tbeir vi lest aspect is seen in tbe buying of ig norant colored delegates, wbo, of ait men,,,most need tbe protection and guidance of men wbo engage as lead ers In our politics. Was ever crime deeper, or hypocrisy more glaring than' when this man went with bribes to debauch the representatives of a race and people whom he was loudly pro claiming were the victims of South ern white prejudice and injustice? Hanna’s one only conception of politics was business, tbe business of making money by politics, of carrying conven tions and elections by money. And yet Dr. Hale, representative, to a de gree, of Boston culture, of Boston morality andYettgton, bolds this man before the nation, and especially be fore the youth of this country, as "a wbyle-souled child of God!” If a more shocking or debasing word has ever been uttered by a professed teacher of morality I cannot recall It.

The city of Wllkesbarre and tbe Wyoming valley In Pennsylvania, was|*kl“ in a turmoil Wednesday. Tbe mighty flow of water spread out north and south west, making the north branch of the Susquehanna river a vast, mad dened, coursing lake, ^weeping in its path whatever there was to Invade, and the scene was more terrifying than on Tuesday. At- Plymouth tbe entire business^ section of the town is under water. Only a few business houses escap ed the flood, and as a result tbe merchants have lost thousands of dol lars worth of goods. The ice is gorged there and the water backed up sa rapidly Wednesday afternoon to leave their homes, and are now living on tbe upper floors. - _ Over a million dollars worth of prop erty has been destroyed in the Wyom ing valley and over twotbousand fam ilies rendered homeless. Though tbe river is falling at Wllkesbarre Wed nesday night, towns in the vicinity of Bloomsburg are experiencing the worst flood in their history. Three spans of the great steel bridge erected by the state at Catawfssi were swept from their piers early ia the afternoon and carried four htir- dred yards by the Toe and Wednes day evening the two remaining spans collapsed. Mill street, a^Danville, the busi ness thoroughfare of that city, was under water Wodnesday night for its whole legth more than a mile. The ice moved at Danville early in the afternoon and carried the great cov ered river brigde from its piers. The water works of Danville are under water and the city is without electric light and gas. Two hundred families have been forced to leave their homes. How About Ohio?
