Concluded. We have great pleasure in announcing that the report in regard to the de ath of Leo, the lion-tamer, at EaBterham. is false. Tchad its origin in tbe fact that Leo, when ne entered the cage of Pharaoh, the savage tiger, was a little off form, and was unnerved by the Budnen sight of a face among the crowd, which brought up unpleasantly the attempt on his life in Austria. He turned to taka a tankard of wine offered him by his friend, Hans Keichardt, when the savage brute, seeing its opportunity.

made a leap at him and struck him to the floor of the cage. i- A shout of horror from the audience showed what every one imagined would be tbe result. But Leo never lost his presence of mind, He fired his pistol right in the animals mouth, and with a roar of pain, it leaped from him. In an instant, Leo was on his feet and at work. His momentary discomfiture seemed make him all the more resolute and full vigor.

tn ri Fong summer days full of sunshine and brightness followed pretty Loueys heartbroken hours of grieving for her lost dreams, aud once more her visions rose-tinted, her hopes grew stronger. burely, surely, Frank loved her! His eyes rested upon her with the tenderness tnat had won ber heart months beiore; h.s voice was full of eloquence and sweetness, as it I. ad been when Fannie Dillingham was still far away in her city home. Then Louevs heart thrilled with self-reproach. She had hated this bright, beautiful girl who was flooding her life with gladness, who was leading her mind into new.

bright avenues of thought, teaching her pretty devices of dress, helping her in her music, opening to her so many pleas ures. She had been bitterly jealous of her, had accused her of leading her lover away by unwomanly devices, aud it was Fanny who was bring ng Frank back to her. But Frank was not satished. He had been fascinated by annies beauty, her high-bred grace, her varied accomplishments. and his vanity was touched by her apparent interest in his society.

It piqued him to be so cooiiy handed over again to Louey. and yet how lovely Louoy was. how gentle and winsome, and her natural grace lost none of its charm contrasted with Fannies high-bred manners. How bappy I could with either ere bother dear charmer away? was Franks outspoken thougnt. when hours were fleeing by in walks or talks or pleasant longing under spreading trees, or in rowing upon Sunny Lake, the one spot of water near Evansville.

Autumn leaves were falling and Fannie Dillingham was going home. Mrs. Greene lamented, Louey wept and Frank Claxton resolved to try his fate and ask F'annieone momentous question. bhe knew what was coming when she saw him enter the gate at an early morning hour, with his face a little pale from excitement, and she resolved to spare him. bhe was no coquette to rejoice in bringing men to her feet, and the harm she had so nearly done was threatened in all innocence.

So, as he entered the parlor, she met him with a radiant smile. You shall congratulate me, she said; we are such old friends, are we not? I do not measure friendship by time, but by congeniality. and 1 think we have liked each other well from the first. I will tell you my good news. My uncle has returned from Europe, and witn him is and she blushed charmingly, my promised husband.

"And I will keep my congratulations till I can offer them to the happy man who is waiting you. And you will let me be the first to congratulate you? she asked. Vou see, I could not but guess your secret, and I look forward to a long visit from you and Louey when my own European trip is over.

We may meet abroad. Louey wants to travel, you know, and there is really nothing to keep me here. So, if I win the bride, you shall be the first to hear ot my good fortune." It was really a very pretty piece of parlor theatricals, but in good society these tnings are gracefully managed, and surely no one could guess that F'anny Dillingham had refused an offer from Frank Claxton in that conversation.

Robinson said the government would prove it in its own way, if allowed to do so, although it was not possible to have all that wealth of evidence which the defendant might supply Ilf he chose; the government could not call the defendant and must get its evidence as it could. 1 it i -J i Judge Putnam said if In disposing of tbe question he went further that tbe question required It would' be because be wanted counsel to know the position of the court.

The government, said the court. Is Hot Bound to Prove a Corrupt Purpose but I think must prove knowledge, and 'an intent of that character that must be based on knowledge. To bold differently would be to give the statute an intent not intended by Congress. It cannot be supposed Congress intended such a result Criminal proceedings should always be based on an underlying sense of The court then quoted from United Btates vs. Brewer, which says that a law creating crime subjecting men to a penalty shonld be so explicit that men would to aroid, and it should be.

that the defendants case is within the statuth Tbe court said that the statute of 1882 provided that the act of the defendant must be wilful, and that word covers and cobtrpls the entire section. The court could not see a person could do a thing wilfully unless he had knowledge. He did not think.it for the government to sbow simply that the defendant was careless or. negligent. There might be equivalence for actual knowledge," bnt the government would not he allowed to prove knowledge by showing that the defendant, having opportunity, was negligent' or inattentive.

Knowledge might, be proved by what tbe law as equivalont to knowledge, but the government would be held td prove Its case with strictness am frank to say, the court, that if the government should prove what it says it cad as to the state ofEvaas Co. a account, and should-prove that the president knew the state of that account and only that, I shonld be obliged to instruct the jnry to acquit the defendant.

A Tbe general feeling in the court room was that the government had received a pretty hard blow from the court, but the counsel for tbe prosecution say they are not disturbed, and that they will prove tbe knowledge and intent at the proper time. Judge Putnam said also, after giving his ruling, that he shonld confine the government to proving, the condition of Co. account at beginning and end of the day. Gov. Robinson said he did not propose to show that on each and every day in July that President Potter knew the exact figures of Evans Co.s account, but the government would show that President Potter did not know tbe general state of the account.

This cioud is a lease of the property for 20 years to James Brooks, beginning June. 1889, at an annual rental of $5Q00. The lease also Stipulates an option to Brooks, giving him the privilege of purchasing tbe property for $95,000 at any time within five years from the date of the lease. The lease was not given by Ober.

but by the previous owners. 1 It the contention of Ober that this lease was terminated before be bought the premises by reason of Brooks failure to pay the rental. About two 'years after Ober purchased the property be says he had an opportunity to sell it. bnt his proposed purchaser backed out upon finding tbe lease to Brooks recorded in the registry of deeds.

Bliss and Ires Claim the Eiht to Do Just what Has Been Done.

New Haven, Jan 81. The trouble which has arisen over the adoption of the rule shutting out Yale graduates from the athletic teams is assuming a serious asneot. It is the most important atbletio crisis for many years- 1 When the law school men srarted the discussion by protesting against the action of the captains as exceeding their authority, it was thought that the objections would soon die out, but since the management of base ball, rowing and track athletics have joined in adopting the rale the feeling has spr ad that the university should have been given a bearing, The trouble was complicated this morn-when a communication was issued, signed by the president and captain respectively of the four teams, Mofiit and McCormick for foot ball. Rogers and Ives for rowing, Swayne and Bliss for base ball and Wale Jones for the athletic teams. They held a meeting yesterday afternoon to draw up this agreement, which states that they have decided to support the rule adopted by the Intercollegiate Foot Ball Association, and In order that this resold, tion may be ratified by the university, we have decided to oali a meeting Wednesday night of the four organizations.

The captains also agreed that if their action was not ratified that they shall all hand in their resignations. Captains Ives and Bliss were seen this morning, and this is the stand they take. The captains of the Yale teams believed that they were chosen to represent and act for the university and that they have the right to make such rules as seem in tbeir judgment of benefit in their different departments. They believe that they acted within tbeir authority. In passing the rule, and that they have in no way overstepped their power.

There was no need of consulting the University Regarding the matter which came within their province. 8o that all that remains is for them to submit tbeir action to be ratified by the University. If the University refuses to ratify, then the captains have no course left them but to resign, as they cannot logically keep tbeir positions after being repudiated by the University. This is the opinion of the athletic leaders of Yale, and they will undoubtedly resign in a body if the meeting results against them. BROOKS DEATH MASK Made by Sculptor Bartlett a Week Ago Monday.

A plaster cast of the late lamented Bishop Brooks was made by Sculptor Bartlett on Monday morning, immediately after the bishops death. The firm nose was the first moulded and then the other places on the face. The plaster had to be dropped on the face, and bit by bit feature after feature was lost to view, till all resembled a vast block of whitened masonry. While the oast of the face was hardening a cast of the bishops right hand was taken. The hand, which, more than the face, showed signs of wasting, was carefully spread out, and, after being anointed with oil, as the face had been, was covered with the plaster.

The liftingof the mask from the face Is a very delicate piece of work, bat It was accomplished without any mishap. When the covering of plaster was removed not a visible sign of the work was left on the face. Having accomplished his worK, the renln-tor passed from the house wi the rode, misshapen blocks that contained within them the last semblanceof the noble biBhop. It did not take long to accomplish the work, scarcely longer than it takes to tell. For almost a week, however, the two masks have been drying, and it was only yesterday that they were given to the moulders to complete.

The representation of the face of the dead bishop in the cast is as placid as though he The mouth has a slight droop, bnt every line ia retained, and there is hardly the slightest sign of wasting visible. The familiar little wave of hair curls over the forehead. 1 i i i FAREWELL TAPS BOUNDED. of Maj. Edward B.

St. Matthews church on Broadway, where the funeral obsequies were held, was crowded to the doors with hosts of sorrowing friends, who had known him as a valued citizen and admired him as an able soldier. It needed no further enlogy than the few simple words of Rev. A. E.

George, who conducted the services, tocall to mind his noble traits and qualities. Men from many walks of life came to pay their last tribute of respect ana to look once more upon the familiar face beiore its consignment to the grave. The floral tributes, which were displayed on the altar, were profuse and handsome, and fittingly conveyed the expressions dt sympathy of many friends, From Mr. Blasland old schoolmates of the Hawes grammar school there was a pillow of pinks and incarnations inscribed: Our schoolmate." Ancient and Honorable Artillery sent a wreath and sickle: the Columbian Lodge of Masons a floral representation on an enlarged scale of the symbol of the order. with tbe initials inscribed upon it.

The collector office, at Citv Hall, where the de ceased was employed, remembered him with a large and beautiful pillow of lilies, heliotrope and carnations.

Besides these there were a number of choice bouquets and cut flowers. The services commenced promptly at 2 oclock.

It was deposited in front of the altar, and on each side during the service stood two sergeants bearing tbe national and State flags. The banner of the Loyal Legion was hung to the right. The black drapery on the pnlpit added to the sombreness of the scene, which was a most impressive one. The simple Episcopal service for the dead was read by tbe pastor, the Chord was impressively rendered by tbe bngler of the Loyal Legion, and then the funeral procession began its march from the church. Half way down the aisle tbe pallbearers halted and taps" were slowly sounded over the mortal remains of the dead soldier and citizen.

CHELSEA BRIDGE HEARING. Boston it Maine Company Willing to Build Proposed Structure, but Object to Width Df Over Forty Feet.

Thd bearing before tbe special commls-siqn appointed on the Chelsea bridge matter held at Chelsea several days ago was continued at the office of City Engineer Jackson in City Hall today at 11 o'clock. A11 tbe commissioners. Messrs. George F. tucker, Edward D.

Hayden and Aaron H. Wright, were present. The Boston Maine railroad corporation represented by Engineers Bissell and Turner, the city of Chelsea by Mayo'r Converse, City Solicitor David E. Gould. Aider-men James Gould.

George M. Stearns and George H. Carter and ex-Representatlves Simeon Butterfield and Marcus M. Merritt: tbe Lynn Boston Railroad Company by Engineers Proctor, Carr and Warren. The- consensus of opinion at the meeting, which was Informal, was that the Boston Maine company is perfectly willing to bnild the proposed bridge, but they are unwilling to build it more than 40 feet in width.

The city of Chelsea, however, insists that it shall be 50 wide, the width of tbe present bridge between curbs. Alderman James Gould of Chelsea said that In his ooinlon the fatal point was that ibe Boston Maine 'proposes a bridge only 0 feet In whila tbe roadway approaching is 60 feet wide between curbs. -He said that anything narrower than 50 feet would draw the traffic in and cause a congestion that should be provided against. Forty feet wide' between tbe curbs, he said, was too narrow for Chelsea, which expects' the bridge to be 50 feet in width, and asks Boston to join In its demand, He also saitj the' traffic across the bridge was constantly and rapidly increasing, as all places beyona Chelsea are fast growing. Alderman Carter said that tha traffic of electric cars would be increasing, and Is already-- Ex-Representative Merritt Said that two more electric cars have already been pnt on per boar from' Lynn, and the passengers transferred from the East Middlesex road are all the time increasing.

Tbe whole community in that direction was growing very fast. He further said that It was understood when thopians were submitted to the Legislature that they contemplated to cover the width of the present bridge, which is 50 feet. The city of Chelsea, he said, does not wish to occasion any additional expense to the Boston Maine, hat it does want assurance that her people will be amply accommodated in the future in getting to and from Boston. Engineer Bissell of the Boston Maine said they had heard no objection to 40 feet between curbs at the State House. His company had shown that that would he a sufficient width, and he considered it -unreasonable to ask them to build the structure any wider.

Mayor Converse said it was unfortunate that the plans did not provide for a wider bridge. Engineer Bissell said he did not think there Would be any obstruction or congestion on the bridge if it is built only 40 feet wide. Alderman Stearns said it shonld be made wide enough to meet any possible contingency that might Solicitor Gould said, emphatically: It is not a contingency; It is a condition today. Mr. Turner of the Boston Maine said that the bridge Is to be built on piles, not on a solid structure.

Asked if the company bad any objection to making a widening at the top of the incline so teams could turn easily, he said they had none. City Engineer Jackson said that so far as the city of Boston is concerned, it would not consent to any less width In streets. He strongly objected to the plan of having a wooden floor.

with a laugh, that 1, also, am anxious to see limn 1 like anything romantic. Then you like me, she said, nestling to him and completing his Conquest, whileSir Algernon, pale and distraught, was eagerly scanning another paper, now apparently to all leelings of love. Lord Bransdale kissed her gently, unmindful of the presence of Sir Algernon. The latter was a rejected But was he not a cousin? 1 And was be not (which was very ffineb more to the purpose at this moment! just then buried In the columns of his paper? He looked np suddenly. i shall have to go to London early." he said.

1 see that Lord Fastup Is In town." Ive been loosing for that fellow for months, and he ha- dodged me. He owes me a heap of money, and as be lias just come into some property, I may have my chance at last. 1 Well, I wish yon success. Im sure, re turned Lord 7 t. Thanks, said the baronet and as I shall be off.

I expect, before I see you in the morning, can yon give me a few momenta In private? Certain ly, said his cousin we will dismiss you, then, Andree, to your 0W11 fairy bower, there to dream of your favorite hero, She laughed, and kissed him. Now, Algernon, what is this little private business? asked Lord Bransdale, when he was alone with his cousin. Well. said the other, with a bitter smile "I should have fancied you knew out telling. 1 1 confess I dont." You must be jesting.

cried Medhurst. angrily; you know that -I have always been regarded as the heir to the Bransdale title and estates; and now you are speaking about marrying again, with the probability of having a family, it is Time for me to seriously discuss my position. "Well, on the first blush of it, ypu' nstur-ally seem right. said Lord Bransdale; drinking a glass of 'wine and lighting a cigar; "but. pon my honor, I have never looked upon your heirship In a serious light You are tbe same age as I am.

but you havent a bit the same constitution. I have lived a quiet life and you have played the very dence. If you had been married, now. it would have been different; but as Lloyd Sevmonr seems likely to be the real heir. I earnestly hope lor one to keep him out of it.

Sir Algernon was astonnded by this plain PAndyet there was no gain saving it Certainly he was the same age as Lord Bransdale. and had not any of his cairn, quiet nerve and powers of endurance. Why should he think that his consm was to die first? "Well. he said, what yon say Is very true: but life is uncertain, and no one knows which of us two will break his neck first. However, youre going to be married, and as youre rich, and I'm not I think the least vou can do Is to, make me an allowance.

"Certainly, now? Algernon laughed. "My income is an unknown quantity, he said. Norton my own place, is mortgaged to an old Jew for about a sixth its value. If 1 had 20.000 I could release it. and come into 2000 a year at once.V Then, my boy, consider it done, said Lord Bransdale.

ThatJl be some compensation to you for my not break ng my neck in tbe bunting field tbe other day. And, by the way. how are you off for ready money?" Algernon made a wry face. About enough to pay my fare np to London, and for a cab to my club." "Well. Ive a hundred loose In my pocket-book.

Here yon are," said his cousin, as he handed him the crisp bank-notes. I think Ill turn in now. If youre determined to go by an early train. Ill say goodby. Remember, you can see your Hebrew friend as soon as you please, and Ill pay off the mortgage at an hours notice.

They bade each other "goodby, and full of vengeful thoughts. Sir Algernon retired to bis room, to smoke, drink brandy and water, and contemplate his position. Confound that. Carlo! muttered. I owe a debt of gratitude to that tiger, how-ever.

If it had not been for his knocking Leo down in the cage, the report of his death would never have been in the paper, and I should never bare known that the show was coming to Carseaton, until it was too late to be off. As the house gTsw- still. and wiihin, dark and mprderous thoughts entered his mind. What If Lord Bransdale were found dead in bed in the morning? Would not all, then, be safe? He even rose as if to go to his' medicine- 1 7 But he sank back again. 1 The past held enough crime for What be did must bo done farther afield.

'PART CHAPTER 3 Ilf WHICH snt ALGERNON MEDHURST BEGINS TO WEAVE HIS Sir Algernon, with 100 -ready money In his pocket, was a very different person from wbat he would have been if Lord Bransdale had not opened his heart. 1 Ho did not even wait to go to his club. He had a champagne lunch, at the first decent hotel he came to in London, and then drove to the offices of Moses Marks, monev lender. He found the little bald-headed Jew in, and was ushered into bis presence, bnt the Hebrew received blm with a far from beaming smile. Sir Algernon was the heir-presumptive to Bransdale Towers, bnt it was well known that his life was not so good as that of his cousin, and his own property was mortgaged up to the hilt.

How dye da, Marks? said Algernnon. with Have you'a couple, of thou, handy this "1 am very busy this morning, bir Algernon. said the Jew financier, "Oblige me by not jesting. I hope you have called to bring me some money. Sir Algernon inwaidly chuckled when be thought how quickly the Hebrew's manner would change.

He had had inklings of Moses Marks visions of settling down at Norton Chase, changing his name to Norton and marrying some beautiful young girl by means of his So be blurted out his business with unkind abruptness.

security is scarcely available. We will talk the matter over tomorrow. This be fancied a good opportunity to humiliate the and he seized it But he failed to disturb the outward calm of 'the man of the world. well. he said.

"I will get it elsewhere. Good morning. Twelve o'clock tomorrow, punctually. When he had gone, Moses Marks sat for a lonu time silent. His vision of the future yr as now a phantom of the past.

He had built his housa on sand on the contemplated ruin of another's life, and It had fallen. He was not to know (nor did he care) jvbat an nn mitigated vjliain Sir Algernon Meahurst was. He wonld have behaved in the same way to the most virtuous being in existence. Sir Algernon Medhurst was by no means in tbe pleasant state of mind which his behavior to Moses Marks seemed to show. He was oppressed by the memory of a great: wrong in the Past, which he dared not right for his own sake.

If his mind had been evenly balanced, he would have seen a way to earn the lifelong gratitude of Lord Bransdale. But he was a coward, as nearly all evildoers are. He waa resolved to avert sham from his head by plugging further into it. When he quitted the office of the usurer, he called a hansom, and proceeded at once to his chambers. Here be spent the dav In writing and sending off letters and telegrams, one especially to his cousin, asking him to authorize his solicitor by night mail to pay the sum of 20.1 20, at noon next dav, to Moses Marks, in exchange for the title-deeds of tbe estate.

A satisfactory answer having been flashed back to m. Sir Algernon dined quietly, and at 8 oclockin the evening dressed himself in a low-crowned soft lelt hat and a long dark ulster, and taking a cab, tnld the driver to set him down at tpe Three Tuns, Whitechapel road. Hers he went along tbe passage at tbe side of the bar, and found himself small room, where sat two men. Tbe one was the ruffian whom we have already seen in the character of Charles Whitehead the other was a stranger to us. Ah! Good evening, Sir Brook, began tbe former.

But Sir Algernon stopped him. Hushl None of that talk here, he said. Sir Brook Delaney was murdered at Fasterham a few days ago. My name Is Masters, and 1 want to do the talking. How soon can you leave London for Vienna? 4 "As soon as you like.

Well, start inTwo days time. Tell me where to send you money, and will do so. On 11s receipt, dont lose one moment. When tbe work is over I will forward you 600, and if you take my advice you will proceed to America forthwith. And what is my task? asked Whitehead.

"As soon as you reach the Austrian capital you are to write Leo, the lion-tamer, somewhat as follows: To Lionel Maynard, on tour with Prof. Carlos variety show. Easterham, near Worthing: Come at once to the Hotel. Fredericstrasse, Vienna. Identity discovered.

All proofs ready. Do not lose a minute, a evil influences are at work. Ask for Thomas Verner. "And when he comes?" queried Whitehead. Tell him that, no matter how, yon have become acquainted with the fact that be has a birthmark which proves his identity.

"Its wortn more than five hundred said Whitehead. stand a good chance of being shot through the head.

Lionel Maynard it no fool. Well, on absolute proof that I am safe. said eir Algernon, "you shall have 1000. Go now and make preparations, while I arrange another affair with Tom OBrien here. He handed Whitehead -five sovereigns, and the villain departed well pleased.

What a pleasant afternoon they spent together, and Fannie managed to bring out all ot Louise's best qualities conversation by her skilful management.

John Corse in Winchester the other day. Since he left the post office. Gen. Corse has been interested ill many things that have taken him out of the city, but be has had also a good deal of leisure, and my friend happened to call on him at a time when he bad a few hours to throw away. I suppose it may be said that of all men active life today who served tntbe war In an exalted capacity, Gen.

Corse has been tbe subject of more interesting paragraphs In newspapers than any man I know. Who, dndeed, has not heard of the hero of Altoona and his famous message, which was connected so intimately with Gen. Shermans remar kv ble order, Lold tbe fort, for I am coming 1 I dare say Gen. Corse is nsnaliy considered as reticent a man as Grant, but, like Grant, be is an picturesque and ready conversationalist when he cares to indulge in speech. He bears faint bnt distinguishable traces of the wonnds that be received when be attempted, in obedience to Shermans orders, to march to tbe resoue of the besieged fort that Sherman had wired the commander to hold and I may be pardoned, in view of the fact that ao many Incorrect and imperfect accounts of the affair have been circulated (so tbe general told my friend), in telling again tbe story that age caonot wither, nor custom stale.

Corse was 40 miles away from Altoona when he received word from the besieged fort that 8berman had ordered him to their rescue. He had 10,000 men with him at the time, but he had train accommodation for only 1600. He proceeded, however, with this handful of men, and when he was still a long way from the fort he was sun rounded by the forces of Gen. Hood, wbo had about 40,000 men nnder his command. All the time Shesman was moving as rapidly as he could to the relief of the fort, which Hood was attempting to capture.

Collected at this fort were the supplies for Shermans army, who intended when he had reached Altoona to march directly to the sea. In the event, however, of the capture of these supplies by the Confederate forces, Shermans campaign would have been deprived of all its advantages, and his march to the sea would necessarily have been abandoned. Early in the day Sherman, proceeding In advance of hts army, reached tbe top of the mountain, 20 miles from Altoona, whenoe he could see the bloody struggle that Corse, with his of men. was making against the desperate onslaught of Hoods army. It was then that Sherman signalled to the besieged oomtnanderat Altoona, with his few hundred men Hold the fortl for I am ooming.

Corse, in the valley below, conld Bee the signalling, and knew that on tbe Issue of his struggle with Gen. Hood depended success or failure of bher-mana plap. The Confederate general asked Corse to surrender, telling him that be was hopelessly outnumbered but Coie sent back word that he intended to fight. For 15 hours he held the attacking force in conflict, and as night drew on, and Gen. Shermans approach ifeemed imminent, Hood, in order to reach tbe nver across which -he must pass to escape capture, withdrew his army, leaving Corse in possession of the ground.

Gen. Corse was a member of the staff of Gen. Sherman, and the news that he had been wounded reached bis commander. Immediately a telegram was seDt to Corse by a brother officer on Shermans staff, who was the intimate of Gen. Corse.

The telegram was from an officer who had often beguiled many weary hours for himself and Corse in camp by singing the "Limerick Races." In this song occurred the line "Now mind your nosea The telegram to Corse read.T told you to mind your nose, Are you badly hurt, and hoar do you feel? It was in answer to this telegram that Gen. Corse sent the famous message, I have lost a part of an ear and a part of a jaw bone, but I can whip all hell yet. This was tbe first intelligence which Sherman had received that the fort bad been held, and this telegram was cironlated among his army of 100,000 men. more or less, as the news that Altoona was saved. In the knapsacks of the men of Gen.

Hoods army that lay dead on the field that night was found nothing but raw corn, and the army of Gen. Sherman was not much better off. Some years after the war Gen. Corse was in Chicago with his wife, who was an intimate friend of Mr. Moody, the evangelist One evening Mr.

Moody called on the Corses and saw lytng on the parlor table a book that told tbe story of that famous conflict in which Corse had been so badly wounded, and seeing. the message from Gen. Sherman, Hold tbe fortl for 1 am coming. exclaimed, enthusiastically: What a magnificent motto that would be for a marching song for the army of Christ And the day after the famous hymn was written, beginning with "Hold the fort lor I am coming, Jesus signals still, a hymn that has been sung almost in every bamlec on the continent, and whose strains across the ocean have become iamiliar to the ears of men who never heard of Gen. Corse, of the forlorn hope that lie led off to tbe rescue of the beleaguered men at Altoona.
