It was this little experience that helped Anderson to escape later. If the party that Owen Brown after-waids led in esrape had taken the same general direction northwards that Anderson took probably all of hem would have escaped.

Cook's anxiety to get news of his young wife, then at Mrs. Ritners, at hambersburg, and Owen Brown's enow ledge of western Pennsylvania led to the route west and south of the ange. the road watched by the professional kidnappers and fugitive slave lunters of those days which they fln-lly followed. Hazletts divergence at Chaynbers-jurg from the North Star line led to jlif. arre3t near Newville, Pa.

I. H. Betz.) John Brown made his foray at Har per's Ferry October 16, 1859. He had twenty-one followers, of whom sixteen were white and five were colored. Of this number three were sons and two were related to his family.

Of the whole -number ten were killed; seven were hanged and five escaped. Two of his sons were killed and one escaped find was the last survivor of the party djlng some years ago at Pasadena, California. Eleven of the bodies, of the men have been removed within the last few years and are bUried with their leader at the great boulder, the sepul-hre of his choice, at his home in the Adirondacks, North Elba, New York.

The Underground Railroad. Four geographical lines of the underground railroad seem to have been worked.

The most eastern was on the continuous line of swamps from Florida to Norfolk. Many could not escape and were The great Appalachian ranges of mountains were another favorite route of escape. This route was measured by Harriet Tubman, an escaped slave, who afterwards went back nineteen times, leading away no than 300 slaves. John Brown, met her at Chathurn for the first time, in March or April, 1858. He called her "General Tubman.

and engaged her for the Harper's Ferry movement. William Lambort, another1 colored -onductor, from 1829 to 1862, Is said have aided slaves to escape. Undergiound railroad operating cul at Cleveland, San dusky and Detroit, led by broad and lefineJ lines through Ohio to the bor-ler of. Kentucky. Through that into the heart of the Cumberland mountains, northern Georgia, east Tennessee and northern Alabama, the limestone eaves of the region served heir purpose well.

It is a fact that the colored people living in Ohio were often bolder and noie determined than was the rule elsewhere. The Ohio-Kentucky routes probably served more fugitives than others in the north. The valley of the Mississippi was the fourth or most westerly route until Kansas opened a bolder way of escape from the southwest slave section. John Browns Personality. The first visit of John Brown to Chathurn I have remembered was in April, 1858.

Wherever he went around, although entire st. anger, he made a profound impression upon those who saw or became acquainted with him. Some supposed him a staid but modernized Quaker, others a solid business man from somew here, and without question a philanthropist. His long white beard, thoughtful, reverent brow and physiognomy, his sturdy, measured tread as he circulated about w-ith hands under the pendant coat skirts of plain brown tweed, with other garments to match, revived to those honored with his acquaintance and knowing of his history the memory of a Puritan of the most exalted type. The Chathurn Convention.

The convention at Chathurn, Canada, was a memorable one. not only in its personnel, but from the fact of what was discussed and resolved The convention embraced forty-six ersons, thirty-four of whom were colored and twelve white men. There is no evidence to show that Douglass, I.oguen Stephen Smith, Gloucester, Langston or others of the roniinent men of color in the states, who knew John Brown, were invited to the convention. It is doubtful if their appearance would have been wise, as it would have assuredly been commented upon and aroused suspicion. But the singular fact remains looke 1 at in either way whether asked or not that their influence had no visible representation presence.

The entire proceeding did not occupy over fifteen hours in both days and prae-' (tally consisted in ratifying what had already been agreed upon in the arious "conferences held during the thiee weeks.

John Brown made the opening and principal speech of the" convention, no orator, certainly no rhetorician, yet he was sententious, logical, direct, very apt in illustration and like all men ot intellectual reserve brooding usually in solitude and silence over large is sues, was quite aphoristic and true In expression.

Cook's capture at Mt. Alto by Daniel Logan and Cleggett Fitzhugh and the Brombaughs, is well, set fprth by Colonel Alex. McClure in his jlate books.

Hazlett was confined weeks in Carlisle jail, and after a most determined defence he was delivered to Virginia, The full account of this phase of the raid haA never been fully set forth; In 1860, July 4, there was a reupion lighted the parlor floor, one portion of which John Brown occupied. M'r. Holden, who had lesided- twenty years in Canada, at the time of Browns visit was a native of Louisiana; a man of means and liberal education. It was in John Brown's room, that a com niittee met to examine tlie constitution that was late- captured by the Virginians, at the famous Kenneby house, the headquarters of Ihown in Maryland. Dr.

Delany was chairman and J. H. Kagi and the writer were secretaries. Tho of the convention itself were held in the colored Baptist church, of which Mr. Munro was the pastor.

Previous to this John Brown had been very active. He wrote to his son, John, to examine the underground! railroad routes through northern Pennsylvania and New Yoik leading to Canada. He had previously met Frederick Doryfus, Henry Highland Garnett, Stephen Smith and William Still with John Brown, either at the home of Mr. Smith or, Mr. Still.

Stephen Smith had fotmerly been the colored' lumber merchant of Columbia, Pa. There were, it is estimated. 75,000 fugitive residents in C. W. although the number that had escaped during the century, It was estimated-, reached no less than 200.000.
