Burd Grubb, commander of the
Twenty-third New Jersey Volunteers,
against whom he fought at
the battle of Salem Church, Va.,
May, 23, 1863, a letter of tribute to
the courage and manliness of the
members of that regiment, to whom
a monument was recently erected at
Salem church.
Upon one of the tablets were inscribed
the/following words:
*'To the brave Alabama boys, our
opponents on this field of battle,
whose memory we honor, this tablet
is dedicated."
The Eighth Alabama regiment was
commanded at the time of the Salem
Church battle by former Secretary
Herbert. In his letter to General
Grubb, Col. Herbert says:
"I have noted with unmixed pleasure
that while on one of the plates
upon the monument are inscribed
the words:
"To the memory of our heroic
dead comrades, who gave their lives
for their country's honor on the battiefield,
this tablet is dedicated.'

"I was with my regiment, the
Eighth Alabama, and was its lieutenant
colonel in the bloody fight
which you and your brave soldiers
have so fitly commemorated. Indeed,,
the Eighth Alabama was on the south
side of the plank road, and, therefore,
almost immediately confronted
your gallant regiment. Being the
oldest surviving field officer of the
five Alabama regiments that participated
in that memorable struggle, I
feel that I may appropriately assume
on behalf of the Alabama boys, whose
memory you and your brave soldiers
so chivalrously extol, to extend to you
and the other survivors of the Twenty-third
New Jersey, as I do hereby
the heart-felt thanks of the living
Alabamians who participated in that
battle.
WORDS OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
"When you and I recall the fortyfour
years that have passed since Salem
Church, and congratulate ourselves
as all patriots do upon the
wonderful changes that time has
wrought in public sentiment, North
and South, it is but natural that we
should recur to the words of Daniel
Webster, at the dedication of the
monument on Bunker Hill: 'Heaven
has bounteously lengthened out your
lives that you might, behold this
glorious day.' That sentence has
thrilled the hearts of generation aftnr

words inscribed by your regiment on
the monument to their heroic dead
at Salem Church are more, eloquent
than any uttered by the immortal
orator at Bunker Hill. Webster was
addressing the survivors of one army,
the American army of the Revolution;
your monument speaks to
all the survivors of the two great armies
that fought against each other
in the civil war. It is a fitting last
word in the lessons of that great
war. It is plain now that it was not
lust of power that nerved the hearts
of Jerseymen at Salem church, and
also that it was not any wicked desire
to destroy American liberties
that prompted Alabamians to do battle
that day. Both armies were fight
ingfor American institutions as the}
understood them. Since the smok<
of battle has lifted, all this, in th<
sunlight of peace, has become clear
and the tablets on your monumen
at Salem church now remind the sur
vivbrs of both armies that it is amonj
the choicest of heaven's bountie;
that thdir lives have been lengthenec
out until they behold ihc g'.orioui

SEES Ml'RDKR IX DREAM.
Man Awakes To Find Woman Slain
in Next Apartment.
To dream of murder and awake to
find the dream true in all its essential
detail was the experience of
William Flinn. an engineer, living in
an apartment house at 403 East 146th
street, New York, Wednesday morning.
The victim of the murder was Mrs.
Catherine Killoran, twenty-nine
years old, who lived in an adjoining
apartment, and her husband, James,
is held by the police on suspicion of
having stabbed her to death. The
woman was found dead in the kitchen
of their flat. There were six cuts
on the head and numerous bruises on
the body.
The victim's husband, from whom
she had been living apart, called on
her Tuesday night. Peter Henry, a
neighbor, who was with the husband
when he was found, has been held as
a witness.
Killoran denies all knowledge of
the crime. He declares that he and
his wife retired about 1 o'clock Wonnesday
morning, and that when he
awoke, a few hours later, Mrs. Killoran
was not in bed. He got up and
^ _____ J 1 1 1 1 ?*
iouna nor ueaa ana covered witn
blood on the kitchen floor. Then he
went for Henry to tell him of the
tragedy, and he declares he was on
his way to the police station to report
Mrs. Killoran's death when he
was arrested. Several occupants of
the house where the Killorans lived
told the police they heard the couple
quarrelling Tuesday night. From
Flinn, who lives on the same floor,
but in the rear, they learned that
Killoran and his wife had apparently
quarrelled at 11 o'clock Tuesday
night. Flinn said he had heard the
woman say:
"Don't do that; you will kill me."
Later he heard groans and then
went to sleep. Then Flinn said he
had a dream, in which he saw a man
chase a woman around a flat and stab
her three times with a knife.
The Charleston Post says "the
Isle of Palms will be a pleasanter
place than ever this summer and a
healthier resort for the kind of people
who will make such an establishment

certainly a delightful place to go on
a pleasure trip.

TALE OF HORROR
Orchard, the Assassin of Steunnenburg.
Reviews His Crime.
ON WITNESS STAND
lfo Makes a labile Confession of a
Long Chain of Revolting Mtmlers
Committed at the inspiration and
For l?ay of Western Federation of
Miner's Leaden, Who Arc Now On
Trial for Their Lives.
At Boise, Idaho, Alfred Horsley,
alias Harry Orchard, the actual assassin
of Frank Steunenburg went on
the stand Wednesday as a witness
against William D. Haywood and
made a public confession of a long
chain of brutal crimes, committed,
he said, at the inspiration and for
the pay of the leaders of the Western
Federation of Miners.
An understanding by the prosecutors
for the State that they would
by later proof and connection make
his testimony legitimate, opened
U/\ itimt lib/A n il / vrn f/\ ff Urt
iuc w cxy nrvc a uuuu^avc iv/ tuc
whole diabolical story and throughout
the entire day Orchard went on
from crime recital to crime recital,
each succeeding one seemingly more
revolting than the one that preceeded.
Orchard confessed that as a member
of the mob that wrecked the
Hunker Hill and Sullivan Mill in the
Coeur D'Alenes, he lit one of the
fuses that carried fire to the giant
powder explosive; confessed that he
set the death trap in the Vindicator
Mine at Cripple Creek that blew
out the lives of superintendant McCormick
and Foreman Beck. He
confessed that because he had not
been paid for his first attempt at
violence in the Vindicator Mine, he
had been treacherous to his associates
by warning the managers of
the Florence and Cripple Creek Ilaili
way that there was a plot to blow
up their trains; confessed that he
cruelly fired three charges of buckshot
into the body of Detective Lyte
Gregory, of Denver, killing him instantly;
confessed that for days he
stalked Governor Peabody, of Colorado,
about Denver, waiting a
; chance to kill him; confessed that
he and Steve Adams set and discharged
the mine under the station
at Independence, that instantly killed
fourteen men, and confessed that
failing in an attempt to poison Fred
Bradley, of San Francisco, he blew
him and his house up with a bomb
of gelatine powder. Orchard has
more brutal crimes to tell that will
bring his bloody career down to its
end at Caldwell, where with a great
| bomb, he killed former Governor
Frank Steunenberg. These will come
' tomorrow, for he is to resume the
stand when the District Court sits
: again.
Orchard retained control of himself
almost from the moment he
- took the stand. His eyes were
i bloodshot and his face mottled when
3 he came into the room to confront
7 the man whose life he jeopardized.
He was plainly nervous and walked
3 unsteadily to the witness stand. Or3
chard quickly steadied himself and
- was soon talking in the soft, easy
- tones that characterize his speech.
r His manner was easy and his gaze
steady in any direction whence a
question claimed his attention.
Orchard's eyes met those of Haywood
several times, and the two gazed
steadily at each other, with hon.

Horsley was telling: of the meeting
> of the Burke, Idaho, Union, of the
Western Federation of Miners, wher
s the defense made its first strong at*
tack by Attorney Richardson to the
J testimony, on the ground that the
t events occurred vears before Hay
2 v/ood was a member of the Centra
2 body of the Federation, and that he
J was in no way connected with it.
1 Senator Borah contended thai
the State had a right to prove the
A facts about the Bunker Hill and Sul
8 livan mine for the purpose of show
ing why the Western Federation oj
. Miners had taken umbratre at Gov
cl ernor Steunenberg. Judge Wood
e ruled that the general facts were ad
missible, but put a limitation on the
s amount of details that could b<
n shown.
Horsley then told the story of th<
}" blowing up of the property, in which
I" he said, W. F. Davis, later presiden
3" of the Union of the Western Federa
r" tion of Miners at Cripple Creek ha<
command of the mob. He told o:
rr" the seizure of a train, the theft o
'e giant powder, the attack on th<
Ls mines, and, concluding said:
[e "I lit one of the fuses myself."
y Horsley then told of his flight in
to Montana and of various journey
^ in the Western country until h<
'a turned up in Cripple Creek in 1902
^ went to work in the mines and join
J ed the Western Federation of Miner
again, under the fire of renewed ofc
a jection from the defense, all o
n' which was overruled by the Court
on the strength of a repeated pronr
ise by the State to show the connet
Jy tion of the defendant later.
VINDICATOR MINE PLOT.
ie The witness then told of the pic
y, to blow up the Vindicator mine. H
ig confessed that after the strike b<
y. gan he went into the mine "hig
n- grading," and there discovered
quanity of powder. He reporte
tnis to Davis, and there, he said, b
gan the plot to do violence in the
mine. He said that the first attempt
was a failure, because the cagemen
discovered him and his pal, and
drew their fire, but later a contrivance
was successfully fixed by
which a discharged pistol set off a
bomb and killed Superintendent McCormick
and Foreman Beck. Five
hundred dollars, he said; was the
reward for the murder.
Then came the journey to Denver,
where the witness said he met Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, and entered
their employment as an assassin.
He swore Haywood paid him
<tQfUA vf:_,1: ? * ?

mine.
Then came the making of the two
bombs that were tossed into the
coal heap at the Vindicator mine,
but they were never heard of again;
and then a digression to confess
that before the successful attempt
at the Vindicator mine, he had notified
the railroad management of a
plot to blow up its trains carrying
non-union men.
Next Horsley related how he journeyed
to Southern Colorado as a
guard to Moyer, and here the narrative,
which had been attacked
from every side by the defense at
every material point, halted for the
noon recess.
Word that Horsley was on the
stand spread through the city, and
a few moments after the doors of
the Court were opened in the afternoon
every available seat for the
public was taken and the deputies
had to force the doors shut and clear
away a clamoring crowd that jammed
the stairway and landing.
FOLLOWED GOVERNOR PEA BODY.
llorsely spent the noon recess
under guard at Hawley's office, and
at 1.30 o'clock was driven back to
the Court House to resume his story.
He told of his journey with Moyer
and his return to Denver, where it
was suggested, he said, that he kill

said he picked Steve Adams to aid
him, and together they stalked the
Governor between the Capital and his
home, trying for a shot at him with
shotguns. Haywood and Petti hone
were in the plot and furnished the
witness with money from time to
time. The plot failed because Horsley
and Adams followed a carriage
containing two women to the Peabody
home and excited suspicion.
Next came a plot to dynamite Peabody.
Horsley said they made a
bomb, but gave the plan up at the
suggestion of Haywood, who was in
fear that they would all be arrested.
He said that he and Adams were told
to "layoff" for a time; but meantime
Pettibone suggested that they
kill Lyte Gregory, who had been a
deputy sheriff and had given testimony
against some of the members
of the Federation.
The witness then detailed the relentless
trailing of Gregory and his
final murder.
"Gregory turned and backed up
against a fence," said the witness,
"as if to draw a gun, and I shot him
three times. It certainly killed him."
THE INDEPENDENCE TRAGEDY.
Then came the frightful tragedy
at Independence, followed by the
flight to Wyoming, and afterwards
the trip to San Francisco to kill Bradley.
Horsely told his story of the
Independence explosion in a low,
humdrum tone, displaying not the
slightest feeling.
"Haywood and the others said they
were having trouble in the Convention
and there threatened to be a
split up," said Horsely. "They
thought if something was pulled off
in Cripple Creek the excitement
would make everything all right in
the Convention, and the delegates
would tro homo. Wo nlannod thon
to blow up the Independence depot
. in Colorado. I asked Steve Adams if
. he wanted to help and he said he did.
I gave him the money to get the pow
der and we took the powder to a cab1
in near the depot at Independence
, preparatory to using it the next
night. The next day Sherman Parkei

DESCRIPTION OF MONl'MENT
Krertod by I/oyal Hearts to l*ie*t<lont
JofT Davis.
The monument to Jefferson Davis
is the crowning feature of Richmond's
K^at Monument avenue. It
is the combined work of K. V. Valentine
and Wm. C. Noland of Ricnmond.
The memorial consists of a
semi-circular colonnade terminatir g
at each end in a square pier, with a
large column or shaft rising from
the inclosed space. The semi-circle
is about 50 feet across with a depth
of 50 feet, and stands 07 feet in total
hight. The monument typifies
the vindication of Mr. Davis and the
cause of the Confederacy for which
he stood before the world, the leading
inscription being "Deo Vindice."
! The colonnade, composed of thirteen
doric columns besides, the two
end piers, rises about 18 feet above
the walk way and has its friese decorated
with bronze seals of the
eleven states that seceded and the
three others that sent representatives
and troops. In the centre of the
space enclosed by the colonnade
stands a large doric column over five
feet in diameter. This column forms
a background for the bronze figure
of Mr. Davis, and also carries on its
i top an allegorical bronze figure,
whose right hand points to heaven,
and whose title. "Vindicatrix," represents
the whole spirit of the movement.
The large column bears the
seal of the Confederacy in bronze and I
has the inscription:
"Jefferson Davis, President of the
Confederate States of America, 1851
1 an r ?>
The bronze figure of Mr. Davis
stands on a groat block of granite in
front of the column and about twelve
feet above the roadway. The president
is represented in a standing position
as though addressing an audience,
with his right hand resting on
the open book of history. Around
the moulding is traced a noteworthy
extract from Mr. Davis' farewell
speech when he resigned from the
United States senate on the secession
of Mississippi:
"Not in hostility to others, not to
injure any section of the country,
not even for our own pecuniary benefit,
but for the high and solemn motive
of defending and protecting the
rights we inherited and which it is
our duty to transmit unshorn to our
children."
On the points of the colonnade
stand bronze tablets, one to the navy
and one to the army of the Confederacy.
The army tablet is inscribed:
"From Sumter to Appomattox, four
years of unflinching struggle against
overwhelming odds."
The navy tablet is inscribed: "(living
new examples of heroism, teaching
new methods of war, it carried
the flag of the south to the most distant
seas."
Itailioad Disasters;
The railroad Gazette, a conservative
organ of the railroads declares
mat poor rails have been the cause of
most of the recent railroad disasters;
and that as most of the rails used by
the railroads of the country are manufactured
by the Steel corporation,
that concern is really responsible for
the large loss of life and great number
of injuries. The Railroad Gazette
characterizes the failure of the Steel
corporation to properly test the rails,
as "criminal willingness to manufacture
rails that cost human life."
The Gazette has made an exhaus;
tive study of this subject and supplies
a few figures that are certainly
alarming. For instance, on the rail'
road lines in New York state alone,
during the three months ending
' March 31, last, 8.% rails rolled in
1900 were broken. On the Union Pa'
cificand Southern Pacific, during the
month of February, 449 rails were
fractured in service, 179 of which had
been in use six months or less.
[ Such figures certainly indicate de
: fective manufactures,, which the Ga
; zette says is due to "phosphorus ant
impurities which collect at the top oJ
the ingot made by the Bessemer pro
? cess, requiring at least one-third ol
' the ingot to be cut off, which is not
! done." Apparently the Gazette has
" established a good case against the
. Steel corporation, which should ir
some way be held responsible for it.1

of Roosevelt.
Wm. Jennings Bryan during the
course of an interview at Baltimore,
Wednesday with a representitive of
the News in reply to a question as to
what is the most important princi
pal to be applied at this time, said:
"The JetTersonian maxim?-equal
rights to all, and special privileges

needed. The abuses of which the
people complain arise from the violation
of this principle.
"Both Jefferson and Jackson
pointed out the evils of favoritism
and privilege and those evils are
especially noticeble at this time
when great corporations have secured
such an influence in politics.

always in the interest of the
few and against the masses. The
people as a whole can obtain no special
favors from the government.
If the people tried to vote themselves
subsidies they would have to pay
the increased taxes and thus take
the money out of one pocket and put
it into the other pocket. This
would not only cost them as much
as was collected but they would have
to pay the expenses of collection and
distribution.
"The remedy lies in withdrawal
of the priviledges in so far as the
evil rests upon privilege and a restraint
on corporations insofar as
the corporations have overstepped
the law."
Referring to his attitude relative
to the licensing of so-called trusts,
Mr. Bryan said:
"It has been criticised by some
who spend more time objecting to
remedies than they do proposing
remedies, but the license system
which 1 advocate was indorsed in
the Kansas City platform seven
years ago.
"We have a few Democrats whore

"The people will not take their
democracy from the employes of the
trusts who earn their salaries by

pockets of the people are being picked."
THE THIRD TERM.
Relative to a third term for any
occupant of the presidential office,
. Mr. Bryan said:
"When in congress 1 endeavored
to secure an amendment to the con.
stitution making the president ineli[

of my campaigns I announced that
, if elected I would not be a candiI

I hardly look favorably: therefore,
upon a third term.
"I assume that the president will
adhere to the opinion which he has

be a reflection upon the success of
p his administration, if, coming in by
[ an enormous majority, he had so re

, "If his reforms are of a substantial
character there ought to be
some other Republican sufficiently
identified with them to represent
i them as a candidate. It would be
r strange if the president was strong
. enough to violate the anti-third term
/ precedent set by Washington, Jef/
ferson, Madison, Monroe and Jackf

a worthy Republican successor."

At two o'clock Monday the unveil3
ing of ,the monument to President
Jefferson Davis, of the Confederate
"l A 1 ?
I oma-a wo. /America, occurred at mcnsJmond.
This event wa.^ celebrated
" throughout the South in a manner
y wnich has never characterized any
a similar occasion. In most of the
Southern States the occasion wasob?
served by the stopping of all induse
trial activity for five minutes. As the
y Augusta Herald says such was a fitc
ting tribute to the memory of the
s only President of the Confederacy,
The memory of his patriotic service
and the suffering that he bore in pae
tience for the Lost Cause is one of
the greatest legacies that the South
holds for its sons and daughters. Jefe
ferson Davis must be given a place
d in the history of America that will
>f ever be unique and one that is now
y regarded as honorable even by those
p who fought the short lived governit
ment over which he presided as chief
y executive, and to him is due all the
i- tribute that the South may pay to
his memory.
