GETTYSBUBG COMPILES. WEDNESDAY, JULY BATTLE DAYSJIT GLOBE IBM AS TOLD FOR COMPILER BY WILLS, OF GETTYSBURG. Chailet Wills, Father of Was Proprietor of Itn at the Time. The story of times at the Globe Inn during the Battle have beeu told us by John ot Charles Wills, proprietor of the Inn during that time. He is tirinly of the opinion the Confederate Army was well acquainted with Gettysburg and vicinity through spies that went through this territory three to four weeks before the battle.

"Ou the day Early came into town and made his demand of Burgess Kendlebart. Mr. Wills said he was ou Baltimore aud attracted by the TH.qf a crowd weul IMOSC iu attentiou was at once arrested by an aide and because of this paid little attention to what was going on. That he looked at tbe aide and the latter loosed at him aud apparently there was a smile of recognition without any nod of the head. He was a young Hmooth faced man aud Mr.

Wills says he kept his eyes on him until fully aatietied where he had seen him before. Turning to go down street by time Wen. Early aud Statt left Burgess Kendlehart and walking on west side of Baltimore Street, he says he was hailed at the pump in front of the Me- Clean residence near Square by this ttame aide 4.nd asked whether he would'ut pump some water Jor his horee into the watering trough. As the horse proceeded to drink tbe rider leaned forward and Mr. Wills said "I have eeen you before." The aide laughed as he replied "So you think you have seen me before.

Where?" Mr. Wills pointed the direction of York Street and said, "At Globe Inn down oo that Street." The man retorted, "Are you sure that it was me "I know it was you," was Mr. Wills answer. The aide continued to laugh and Mr. "If you will admit It I will tell you; bow I know it" and then proceeded to recall tbe fact that three weeks before the aide bad been at the Globe Ion and taken dinner, and that after dinner when he came to pay for his meal, he had handed him a silver quarter, and that he had hesitated for a minute whether to tell htm the price was 35 cents but concluded that the silver quarter was worth more than the 35 cente In shinplastere usually received in those days.

The aide would not deny 'the story and rode away with a laugh. Mr. Wills says when he heard that Karly'e men were coming into town he walked to tbe diamond and saw them come up Chambersburg street. "I was standing on what is now Weaver's store corner and watched the maneuvers. The first company came up Chambersburg street as hard as they could come aud halted at the Eckert corner.

Tbe Captain went ou to the center of diamond, gave a command and they moved forward and he divided them into three squads one going nut Baltimore street, a second out Carlisle street and the third down York street, chasing parts of Bell's cavalry." Mr. Wills Says he remained in the Diamond until the second company came up Chambersburg street and that at the head of it rode a big man with long hair, a striking figure, "The minute I saw him I recognized him, I went closer to him and finally as they moved toward i orfe street I went to hotel and called my father out and asked him whether the Dig man hadn't staid at our hotel three or four weeks prior. The man finally saw us looking at him and when he came directly opposite to father and I deliberately turned bis face to the other side of street but there was no doubt in the mind of either father or myself about this man." "He had come to the Globe Inn and remained there over night. His ostensible purpose was to try to sell us a receipt for fixing the taste of whiskey, but asked us a number of questions about tbe roads aud location of other taverns in county and the Cumberland Valley. At night he was given a room next to that of mine and there were old fashioned folding dcore between tbe rooms and doors were not a tight fit" and Mr.

Wills said he recalls that there wag a light in the stranger's room when be went to bed and that be saw him writing and that he was awakened about two o'clock and light was still burning in the stranger's room and that be wondered how long the tallow dip was going to last. we got tbe goods out of tbe car and it was furnished aud the goods were put away in the cellar." "That night three Louisianua Tigers to tbe hotel and ordered uy father to roll out three of tbe barrels of wbiskev and my father refused to do it. They draw thtlr Mbera and compelled Him to open tbe cellar doors. Thff took three barrels eayiug they would cone next morning and par for it, with money better than ours. They took it to a camp down the York pike." -Col.

Harry Gilmore of, Baltimore, came to the hotel next morning and gave my father an order on Confederate Government. He told him be wanted good money for it, but all he got was the order. Mi. Wills recalls 1st when tbe first Union troops came to town and says "In a short time tbe hotel was tilled with Union soldiers and that Frank Gintling and David Warner were helping them and as fast they pnnld draw the whiskey from the barrels in the cellar it was poured into canteens. When the fighting began we were ordered to stop selling.

It wouldn't belong before there would be soldiers there asking, demanding and begging for whiskey, offering all kinds of money, some saying mere is a fight ahead we will need the whiskey and may never have any use for the money and we would begin to sell again and then stop again when ordered. When tbe retreat of the first day began we were ordered to go into the cellar. Mother, three sisters, brother's wife and a child went to ce.llar, I also went down. "When 1 carae up from tbe cellar it was near dusk, I met Dr. Goldsborough, a brother of the Dr.

of Hunterstown and H. J. Siafcle and tbe three of us walked out Carlisle street to see what was going on and as we cot near to where Prep now is we met a Confederate soldier and he told us we had better go bacs. We became separated and I soon came back to town. Next morning Confederate officers came to the Globe Inn and took break- fa t.

During second and third days we had them for breakfast, dinner and supper. Our tables accommodated from 42 to 45 men and Confederate officers were there each meal. We raised the price of meals from 35 eeute to -50 cents and whiskey from 5 to 10 cente. As they were eating the' first meal father and 1 discussed what we snould do if they offered to pay us with Confederate money. It fell to me as they left tbe table to collect tbe money and to our surprise they had big rolls of brand new U.

8. money and gold. They paid us in cash out of this every meal. The question has often occurred where they got this 1 could see and told him what had eeen. He asked if I kept tbe hotel and 1 replied wy father kept it but be had gone to farm leaving me in charge.

'He then aaid IUMC tney had not come here to molevt or barm citizens, but the citizens were at the and toad sent guards up and down the etreeta telling tbe people to go to their cellars with their and children as the only safe place. Ad draealnc Mr. Wille, he said, don't you know that you might have been a dead man, picked off that roof by a sharpshooter. He ended by tailing me should go home and attend to my business, and that if any of his men molested any citizens he would punish them. I remember Mr.

Caas. JJeely and General Early fell to talking after he bad finished with me. I heard Mr. NeeJy tell him he was i member of tbe Bar and I heard Gen Early reply that he was a member of the Lyuchburg Bar. "I walked away with a Confederate officer aud we stopped at corner of aud Sualioij etrfefete aud gttt to raising about tbe war, and I remember him saving if a dozen men at extreme North and extreme South had beeu bung before tbe war began we would never have had tbe war.

"While we were talking a Confederate resting against a fence along Middle street was shot through the head and there was much excitement for a while, as some of them said it must have been fired from the school building. 1 told the officer I was with that there was no one in that building and that it must have beeu a random shot. "When I came out of the cellar the evening of tbe first day 1 saw a big bay horse dead in the gutter in front of Davie froxel's place and heard there were others in the town. On the morning of tbe second day George Ecsenrode was with me and .1 proposed that we get a rope and some men and drag the horse away, but we could not get the help. Then I went to tbe McCleHan House.

A Confederate officer had his bead-quartets in the ope i space between the hotel and the barber shop standing next to the house on corner of tbe present Weaver corner. I went to this officer and asked him to lend me a team to drag off the dead horse and be people are getting damn nice up here. Why didn't you come down and help us when they were lying three deep at our doors at Fredericksburg Festival. The Mummasburg Union church will hoJd a festival on the church grounds on Saturday evening, July 23, for tbe benefit of the church. Everybody welcome.

The omcers were of Early Overland auto and his daugh- brigade and we always supposed i er MiS6 ie ofteu eeeu bebind he was part of the money Early got at York. "Father had taken precautions to save our supply of eatibles. None of tbe family knew when it was done but late at night with the help of some of our Colored help be had carried potatoes, and the meat and nearly everything we had and stored them in a small loft. He also had a big hole dug in the garden and into this placed a barrel of whiskey, a barrel of gin and a barrel of brandy, of the new lot of goods received.

These three barrels remained in the ground Tor some time and became water soaked, and when taken out had changed celor and much of it had to be sold cheap or given away after the battle. "Notwithstanding this precaution my father had much loss for the cellar was broken in more than once and they helped themselves from the tap barrels and anything else in the cellar and emptied and broke up some of the Charles Wills lost several horses at his farm alcug York pike, and all his crops and aiways estimated his loss at farm aud hotel at $2000. John Wille tells an experience of his own on afternoon of second day. "I walked around the town to see what was to be seen and then I went up to the trap door on north side of roof close to chimney on east tide of house and 1 was half way out of trap door and was looking toward Banners hill where Confederate batteries had been located. 1 saw a battery at west end of barn of Milkman Wolf east of town.

"By and by I heard a call, Get'off that roof. I heard it several times and did not realize it was meant for me. Finally I located a soldier standing at fence between the Culp's blacksmith shop on East Middle street and the Kendlehart property to the west. His gun rested on tbe fence. "I asked him who he was talking to and he replied be was talking to me aud I should get off that roof.

It made me kind of mad to be ordered off my own property aud I asked him what he wanted with me and he replied "to come off that roof" I tot behind the comb of the roof and was looking north toward the Mummasburg road Early came Jim Furley. the i when the soldier came to hotel and former citizen of Gettysburg who bad moved to Virginia and played the traitor on his native place by acting pilot for Early. He had learned the blacksmith trade with AdamDoersom. He came into the Globe Inn and met Harvey Wattles and I beard him say "I wish I could have gotten your telegraph apparatus I would have fooled you men. but its gone." Hugh D.

Scott had gone with tbe apparatus to Hanover Junction. "The afternoon of tbe day of Early's called to me 'For the last time I tell you to come down off that roof or I will take you dead or alive to Gen. My mother aud sister were on tue balcony and crying begged me to come down. He said if I came down peacably I would not be hurt but threatened if I didn't The I. 0.
