MEN AND THINGS. THE "TELEGRAPH" LOCAL HUSTLER HAS A CHAT. The Old Veteran Telia an Interesting 8to Senator Hoar and Senator Beck Approved of tbe Funeral A Penii sylvanian Holds tbe Lost Com mission That Lincoln Signed Some Observation. The old veteran shifted hia short English pipe from one side of his month to the other, took a few long whiffs and said "Were you ever sick and hankered for something to eat that they wouldn't let yon eat I said I had been there. I've been in the same boat myself," he said.

Then he paused for quite a while, pulling away at his pipe steadily. Finally I said (I knew he had a story inside of him): "Well "It was just after the Seven Days' Fight in front of Richmond. I had got a bullet through this shoulder see?" and he lifted his left arm to show how helpless it was. I saw. "I was in the hospital, down with a raging fever, nigh unto death I suppose; the doctors would never tell me, but I had an idea that they had given me up as a gone gosling.

One day I awoke and looked about me. It seemed like a dream. I was lying a cot in a tent, and as I began to rnn my mind back the whole thing loomed up. I tried to raise my left hand to brush the hair out of my eyes but I couldn't. Then I looked down and knew that for all practical purposes that arm was no good.

I shut my eves and thought of what it all meant, and as I lay there thinking I tell you, my boy, there was a great deal passed through my mind, and I felt kind of choky in the throat and there were scalding tears in my eyes. 1 was only twenty three, and just about that time a fellow's life is precious to him, and to me it seemed that a one armed man was jnst about aa useless a creature as could encumber the earth. I fell asleep in a little while, and when I awoke I heard a voice say: "He'll pull through," and I opened my eyes to look up into the face of our surgeon. I tell you, he was one God's people. What he didn't do for the men in his charge can't be told.

He saw that I knew him, and told me to keep qniet and left the tent. Before he left im cautioned the nurse not to give me any th.tag strong to eat By and by I felt a strange hankering aiter a certain particular article1, of food, and what do you think it was Canned peaches. Of all things on this earth I wanted peaches, and Great Scott! bat I wanted them bad. The nurse thought I was sleeping ana left the tent I heard him going, aud I opened my eyes and looked about me. In a corner of the tent lay my trousers, which I knew contained some money.

The more I looked at them the more I wanted the peaches. I raised myself by a great effort, half slid and half fell out of the cot and reached for my trousers. The money was there, and I felt like cryinjj ont but I didn't. By great effort I dressed myself and got to the door of the tent. A hundred yards away was a sutler's tent I knew the sutler.

On one or two occasions I had helped to raid his tent and rob him. Oh, don't look horrified, everything goes in war times. How I did long to have that sutler nearer, and how I prayed that the nurse wouldn't come. I must have those peaches, I thought, and with the thought I crawled around back of the tent, and down through the rows of stakes until I reached the sutler's. He was there, and Ik knew me, and he asked how I was coming on.

I told him I was nearly well, and called for a can of peaches, with a request that he open them. He had them in stock, and he opened a can and passed it out to me, together with three dollars change from the five dollar biLl I gave him (the I took that can and made my way up back of the tents to the rear of my tent, and there I sat down and ate. My, oh, my I How I did eat Used my fingers for a fork and devoured the entire contents of the can. Then I crawled back to my cot and lost consciousness in sleep. Thennrsecameinandfoundme thus.

I was smeared with jnice all over my face, and he coaldn't conceive what I had been doing, but when I awoke I told him, and a more scared man I never saw. He begged me not to tell and I promised him I wouldn't Did I get sick Not much. It was just what I wanted. I began to mend, and in a few weeks I was able to be sent ihome. Of course I never went back, for how could And the veteran glanced at his disabled while a sad smile played across his face.

Here's a brand new story told me by oriflammed Senator Cooper, who heard it in Washington: Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, and Senator Beck, of Kentucky, are not in love with each other. Hoar is crusty and Beck is prosy. Not long ago Beck was making a speech in the Senate, and was rather more long winded than usual. Somebody said to Hoar: "Beck is making an unusually long speech." "Yes," said Hoar, 'that's his way of resting his brain." Here's another from the same source: Senate? Hoar's brother and Wendell Phillips were enemies, and never let an opportunity to eiiow it escape them. When Phillips died soaiebody said to Hoar, "Are you going to Wendell Phillips' funeral "No," aid Hoar, "I will not attend the funeral, but I approve ot" it.

The last commission that Abraham Lincoln ever signed is in the possession of Major DeWitt C. James, of Warren, Pennsylvania. Major James commanded an independent company of infantry, one of the few in the army unattached to any regiment This company was on provost guard duty in Har risbnrg from September 1st, 1862, to April, 1863, when it was sent to do the same duty in Alexandria, where Major James was made Provost Marshal. It remained there until the close of the war, and so well did it perform its duties under the direction of its commander that in April 1865, he was promoted to Major. His commission was banded to President Lincoln to sign just before he left for the theater on that fatal Good Friday night Major James was waitintr for it at the White House.

In the hurry Mr. Lincoln forgot to blot his name, and when it was folded the ink plainly printed his name backward on the opposite kide of the commission, and it can be easily en. Major James keeps it as a valuable relic havinir more sacred associations than thos connected with an ordinary commission, It Is Observed That the blood orange has the call. That our baso ball club is a success. j.nat the man with a cold is to be pitied.

This is a remarkable record. AND STILL WE WIN. One Thousand Enthnsiasts Sect tbe "Colts" Swamp tbe Altoona Club Other News. Meiklejohn, Vallee and the balance of the "Colts" proved too much for the "Mountain City" boys in yesterday's game, the former only allowing the visitors 7 safe hits and striking out 14 of them. On the other hand our fellows hit tbe ball hard for 21 hits, fielded almost perfectly and stole 1 6 bases.

The score by innings: Harrisburg 82004454 294 Altoona 00100.000 1 Squibs. The grand stand is abominable, larrisburg and Lehigh are having it out afternoon. "Tom" Peters took a photograph of the two clubs after the game yesterday. President Spalding's "globe circlers" were given an immense welcome in Chicago yesterday. Cook, Vallee, Hoverter and Murphy each had a "dreisocker" yesterday, and Eagan a "sweisocker.

No gentleman will smoke in the presence of ladies, knowing it to be distasteful to many of them. Norristown has a rattling good little club. They squelched the Philadelphia Giants yes terday by 21 to 1. President Soden denies the rumor that the Boston club is trying to trade 'Michael J. and a.

money consideration for John M. Ward. In addition to the League and Association, as heretofore, the scores of the Middle States League will t.e bulletined at the Grand Hotel this season. Day and McCafferty, a Wilmington battery, may sign with Reading. That club has signed Charley Barber, outfielder of the old Merritt club.

President Day's smile exceeds that of Manager Mutriels since the bill granting his club the use of the Polo grounds another season passed finally in the New York Legislature. The Volunteers defeated the Keystones this morning on the Paxton Junior grounds by a score of 17 to 16. The battery for the Volunteers was Dnrubaugh and Quigley and for the Keystones Brady and Meese. The base ball fever appears to be contagious among the Harrisburg newspapers. They are organizing clubs among their employes.

Duncannon Herald. By the way," we didn't notice any account of last Wednesday's game in your columns. It now looks as if both Rowe and White will wear a Pittsburg club uniform in next Wednesday's championship game with Chicago. The whole question of their signing hinges on Detroit's acceding to their demand for $3,000 each of the purchase money, Fred Stearns offering them $2,000. A compromise will donbtless be effected.

In the event of their signing Will White, of Cincinnati, will manage the Buffalo club. With the addition of the two ex Detroit kickers the Pittsburg club will be in the pennant race from start to finish. Yesterday's Championship Games. At Cincinnati St. Louis, Cincin nati 3.

W. H. H. Snyder at City Some State Tax Cases Settled. Three Murderers Uet Frssh Lsase of Life Other News from all Sections of tho City.

DEATH OF RET. W. H. H. SNYDER, Formerly of Sr.lem Reformed Chnrch, at Atlantic City.

Rev. William H. H. Snyder died this morning at 9 o'clock, at Atlantic City where he had gone for the benefit of his health. The intelligence of thiB sad occurrence was received in this city this forenoon and will fill many hearts with sincere sorrow.

Having partially recovered from a serious illness, his physician advised his removal to Atlantic City, no doubt hoping that the sea air would facilitate his recovery, and for a short time it seemed that this cherished hope would be fulfilled. Providence has, however, decreed otherwise. Mr. Snyder was educated in Franklin and Marshall College, and the Theological Seminary at Lancaster, Pa. After graduating with honor in these institutions he was called to the pastorate of one of the Reformed churehes in Akron, Ohio, and about a year afterwardsto Salem Reformed church, of Harrisburg.

He arrived here on the 18th of December, 1864, and was soon after duly installed. He remained in this charge until December, 1st, 1887, when he removed to Belief onte, accepted a call from the Reformed church in that city. For many years he has been deeply interested in home missions and president of the Tri Synodic Board of that department of church work. He was one of the prominent ministers of the chnrch and always recognized as snch in her classes and Synod. To the congregation in which he served the greater part of his ministerial career he had become warmly attached, and it was for him a great struggle to yield, to what seemed to him to be the call of his Divine Master, and to break up endearing associations which had been strengthening through such a long pastorate.

It was, however, a source of comfort to his numerous friends here to know and believe that in going to Bellefonte he would be warmly greeted and cared for by an intelligent and loving people. It was also hoped that his health, already broken, would be greatly benefited by the pure mountain aft and water for which that city is celebrated. These fond hopes have been disappointed, and the church and denomination he so long and faithfully served, while mourning their loss will feel assured that the Master has released him from the toils and sorrows of earth, that he may enjoy the reward reserved for His faithful ambassadors, in a wider and holier sphere. He leaves a wife, Mary Naomi, daughter of Daniel and Mary Erisman, of Lancaster, and two children, Mary and John Paul. STATE TAX SPITS.

Opinions on Settlement of Tax on Bonds. udge Simonton this morning filed opinions in a number of State tax suits, which were tried without jury. The judgments for defendants are as follows: Alliance coal mining company, Oil City fuel supply company, Northwestern coal and iron company, Erie and Western navigation company, Mortgage trust company, of Pennsylvania; Philadelphia mortgage and trust company, all for tax on bonds. In three other bond tax cases the judgment for the Commonwealth was as follows: Delano land company, $2,043 70; Chester pipe aid tube company, $123 04; Lehigh and Lackawanna railroad company, $61 52.

By Associated Press. New Yobk, April 20. The New York Central's loss by the great fire is footed np by its officers as $1,400,000, but more than half of the burned property 'was useless to the company and need not be replaced.

The morning's mail delivered at the Navy Department brought two letters from Admiral Kimberly, dated Apia, March 1 9th and 21st respectively and addressed to the Secretary of the Navy.

The Admiral commends to the Secretary the valuable assistance rendered by Mataata Maliteoa, who, withont request, sent some hundreds of his men to aid in saving the stores and ma terials from the wrecked naval vessels. These natives, tbe Admiral says, saved many of our men when the Nipsic and Yandalia went ashore, and two of them lost their lives in endeavoring to save the men who were trying to swim ashore. The Admiral Bays any recognition of these services would be highly appreciated by the Samoans. The admiral also speaks of the kind acts of Captain Henry C. Kane, in command of the British ship Calliope, and expresses the hope that the department will not forget him.

The admiral says the Trenton and Vandalia will be a total loss, but believes the Nipsic can be saved and repaired. Accompanying tbe letters is a lengthy de tailed official report of the disastrous storm of March 1 6th, the loss of life and the ex tent of the damage sustained by the vessels under Lieutenant Kimberly command. Ihe report does not materially differ from that furnished by telegraph from San Francisco by the Associated Press and published on Sunday morning last. How He Proposes to Get Rich.

Politics and Watermelons. Ulchmond State. We have noticed with regret in recent sum mers that what is known as the Johnson watermelon has superseded entirely what is known as the Jackson watermelon. The Jackson is a long, solid, dark green hued melon, lhe Johnson is a very green and white striped melon. The meat of tbe Jackson is firm, very sweet, with just enough aqueous output to float it into the throat.

Tho meat of the Johnson is less closely knit, and, npon pressure, gives forth so much water that the meat is all gone before the seuse of taste knows anything about it The Johnson watermelon, with its rotundity of outline, makes a bigger outward show, but the Jackson, with its superior in terior, is most intrinsically beneficial. The Johnson watermelon contains the active principle of the Republican party, namely, puffery. The Jackson watermelon contains the active principle of the Democracy, name ly, solid merit. In the one we have the Andy Johnson Republicanism. In the other we have the Andrew Jackson Democracy.

Han over was once the home of the Jackson wa termelon. No other place in the world can produce such melons. Therefore we call the attention of Hanover county to this and pre dict a brilliant future in Jackson water melons. Abominable.

C. Heze mantl. a renresentativn nf VrAnph V.Aitm A said to day that the fact that the Minne buu una picKea np one or tne boats bore ont the surmise that the passen gers who were on the ill fated steamer have been rescued. "Otherwise." he said. "why would the boat be in its natural position." If they had perished their dead bodies would have remained in the boat, and itis not at all probable that they would jump overboard so long as the boat continued to 'float.

Broken cigar boxes were found in the boat and this would indicate that the occupants of the boat had placed their valuables in them when they were leaving the ship, and when they were being rescued they broke the boxes np in their hurry. If the passengers have been rescued and have been brought to the Azores Islands we ought to hear from them By the End oi Next Week. If I can remember aright the vessels leave the Azores for Lisbon about the 5th and 20th of each month. The rescued passengers would not reach the islands in time to be Bent to Lisbon bv the vessel which sails about the 5th. But they would probably be taken there bv the vmsa! sailing on the 20th.

It takes four or five days for a vessel to reach Lisbon, so we would not hear anything of them nntil the end of that time. The nassenrs dim aim have been picked up by a sailing vessel, which may lanu mem at some port tnat would, take a long time to reach. If thev are lost I will Stick to the belief that t.hav worn first rtut. cued from the Danmark and that the ship rescuing them had afterwards foundered, a rather improbable thing to happen.
