STORY OF THE
DEATH OF MACEO
The Rebel .' Leader Struck by Two
Bullets.
HIS BODY CANNOT BE FOUND

Spaniards, Give an Accont of the
Full of the Insurgent CicneralHis
Iludy Kcuioved By the Kebcl--C-baut
at Philadelphia Mo Longer
Doubt the Story.
Havana, Dec. 11. Dr. Maximo Zer-tui-ha,
formerly the physician of An
tonio Maoeo. the second in command
of the insurgent forces, who, after the
death of Maceo, surrendered to General
Tort at San Felipe, has been inter
viewed by a reported of La Lucha, one
of the leading newspapers of this city.
Dr. Zertucha says that Maceo Intended
to attempt to cross the trocha on De
cember 3, but was prevented by sick
ness from doins so. On the next day,
however, it was announced that ho
would not march across the trocha
with his men. but would go by water
around the end of the trocha and meet
an Insurgent force on the Havana side
of the line. Two bonts were according
ly prepared, they being painted black
in order to prevent their being seen
and the oars were muffled. They could
not be heard. At night Maceo and
twenty-six men embarked and passed
in front of the town of Mariel at the
northern extremity of the western
trocha without being seen by any of
the Spanish sentries thereabouts.
The rebel leader Mlro and several
other commanders of rebel bands ac
companied Maceo. The short voyage
was accomplished without the slightest
mishap and the party landed at the
point selected without being discov
ered. When on December 4, the engagement
took place between the rebels and Ma
jor Clrujedas' commund, Maceo was
encamped with -'.00U men. When the
Spanish force appeared Maceo divided
his men Into two wings, his Intention
being to surround the Spanish column.
He remained alone wih his start for a
moment, watching the fighting, and
exclaimed: ' This goes well."
HIT BY TWl) BKLLETS.
Shortly afterwards he was hit by
two bull"ts as heretofore detailed In
these dispatches, one striking him on
the chin, breaking his Jaw and pass
ing out at the Junction of the neck and
shoulder, and the other striking him
in the abdomen. Klther wound would
have caused death, and the rebel Kad
er expired in a short time.
Thf rebeN who were fighting desper
ately apainst the Spanish attack, were
par.ic stricken when they heard of the
d.nth of their chief. They Med In dis
order, not making any attempt then to
take Maceo's body with them. The
Spaniards then returned to Punta Ura
vr. with their dead and wounded. When
the field was clear some of the rebels
returned and carlred Maceo's body on
with them. Dr. Zertucha says that he
does not know where the remains were
buried, and thus far the search made
bv tht Spaniards has proved fruitless.
Philadelphia, Dec. ll.-Very little
doubt remains in Cuba' circles in this
city of the death of Antonio Maceo,
the Cuban leader. News came to hand
today from private sources which
a; knowlertged that no further doubt of
Maceo'h death can exist. This informa
tion ccmes directly from Cuban agents
on the inland, and is Intended to finish
the uncertainty in the minds of the
Cuban residents here.
it was characterized as being abso
lutely authentic and as making an end
of any possibility that the accounts
of the general's tragic end could be
untrue.

Ths Possibilities of a War With Spain
Has Slightly Affected Business In
terests Wheat Market Weakens. .
New York, Dec. 11. R. O. Dun &
Co. wil say tomorrow in their weekly
Review of Trade: .
Approach of holidays and doubt at
the action of fongress put off further
improvement until new year. While
inustries have gained in working force,
they are waiting for commensurate
gain in demand and meanwhile are
trying to clear away embarrassments
which restrict them. Speculation has
been halting and timid. There is no
sober minded fear of foreign difficulty
but some have succeeded In Imaging
that congress might go so far beyond
the president's prudent message re
garding Cuba as to embroil this coun
try with Spain. Money is in abundant
supply, lending In London continues
and there is nothing to cause less ac
tivity In general business except that
the rush of orders deferred until after
the election has not been continued.
The volume of business shown by
clearings has been for the week 5.2
per cent, smaller than last year. Earn
ings on railroads In November were
J0.9 per cent, less than last year and
12.2 per cent, less than in 1892.
The wheat market has weakened
with less gloomy news from other
countries and larger western receipts.
Disappointment about the break in
prices help to Increase receipts.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Few of the many railroad corpora
tions can show a list of men longer In
actual service than can the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Very little change has been made up
on that road In many years, either in
management or Its men: and veterans
who have served so faithfully almost
from its Infancy to Its present day can
point with honest pride to their many
years of service.
In April. 1897. three conductors of
this svstem. Edward Maghran, Chris.
Heavers and J. E. DeKay will have
completed twenty years in continuous
service as passenger conductors. There
were four conductors who commenced
In this line of service in the month of
CONDUCTOR EDWARD MAGHRAN,
April. 1S77. but one of them. H. T. Bol
les, gave up his train in 1894, to take
the position of train master on the
New England railroad, under the su
perlntendency of Joseph King, formerly
a conductor on the Syracuse and Bing
hamton division of the Delaware,
Lackawnnna and Western.
The oldest of these three conductors
Is Edward Mughran, who commenced
railway life In 1S6U on this road as
brakemnn on coal trains. In the fall
of 1SG2 he was promoted to the position
of conductor on a train of that class.
In those days (war times) men were
rapidly promoted and were made con
ductors then in a shorter time than It
takes a man today to get a first class
Job as brakeinan.
A strange accident happened to Con
ductor Msghran's train at Water Gap
in the fall of 1S67. On a dark and
stormy night, his train broke In two
about a mile east of Water Gap station.
the engineer, with the head end of the
train, running quite a distance before
discovering his loss. .
Missing the caboose he stopped, sent
a man hack, then backing up to the
rest of the train coupled on and pro
ceeded. The next morning at Hampton Junc
tion Maghran was asked by the agent
as to the whereabouts of one of his
coal cars. "You are short car so and
so," said the agent, giving the num
ber. Maghran was dumbfounded, as
he knew It was In the train, for he had
Been It and had checked the number
upon the bill.
The mystery was solved the next day.
The car was found where they had
broke In two at Water Gap partly
down the bank and nicely clearing the
track. The car had evidently got tired
of its company, so off the track it went
and over the rail then down the bank,
Clearing the rest of the train. No one
noticed It or detected Its absence from
the train.
In April, 1877. Conductor Maghran
In recognition of his. past faithful ser
vice was., promoted to the position of
passenger conductor on Train G26, run
ning between Blnghamton and Hobo
ken, and has been, within a few
months, twenty years on that run, a
longer time on one run. It Is safe to
say, than any other conductor In this
country; and this without an accident
to his train through any fault or mis
management upon his part.
Conductor Maghran is now In the
prime of life and doubtless will be able
to "punch tickets" for man" years to
come. He is pleasantly situated with
his family, consisting of his wife and
six children. In a cozy home on Murray
street, Blnghamton, and finds In that
home after his Journey Is ended his
chief enjoyment with those who make
life a source of happiness to him.

THE POWER OF CASH.
We bought from one of thelarg.
est Cloak manufacturers in the
United States, Ten Thousand Dol
lars $10,000 worth of High
Grade Jackets and Capes at prices
less than cost of manufacture.
This season has been a treach
erous one for cloak manufacturers'
and dealers. Therefore, having
made such a heavy purchase of
High Grade Goods, and in order
to protect ourselves, we will
slaughter those handsome gar
mentS at prices never belore heard
of in the history of Scranton.
