UNION THANKS
GIVING SERVICE
The Union Thanksgiving service
will be held in the Mahoning Presby
terian church aud the st rmon will be
preached by Rev. W. O McCormack.
D. D.. pastor of Grove Presbyterian
ohnrch.
This.it is true,does not accord with
the announcement made by the Dan
ville Ministerial Association a mouth
ago, which stated that the services
would be held iu the Grove Presbyter
ian church an 1 that tlis Ryv. J. E.
Hatchi-on, pastor of Mahoning Pres
byterian church, would preach the ser
moil. At thi meeting of the Minister
ial Suoiety yesterday the plans were
changed as stated iu theopeuiug para
graph.
Rev. Hutchison, it appears, was not
present wheu he was selected to preach
the Thankogiving sermon. He has
since discovered that owing to the
pressure of engagements it will bj im
possible for him to accept the honor
and he has declined. The preaching
of the Uuion Thanksgiving sermon,
therefore,devolves upon Rev. Dr. Mc-
Oormack, who was chosen as alter
nate when Rev. J. E. Hutchison was
selected to preach. As is customary
the church selected for the Thanksgiv
ing service lies on the opposite side of
town from where ths pastor who is to
praeoh resides.
The Mahoning Presbyterian church
it a fine commodious edifice aud will
accommodate a large coiigreg itiou,
such as will probably assemble to hear
the Thanksgiving sermou. The entire
program for the service is in the hands
of Rev. J. E. Hutchison, the pastor.
The olergy are desirous that the
Thanksgiving offering, which will of
course represent all the clinches, this
year be something quite handsome, iu
keeping with the general prosperity
of the times. It will be turned over
to the Woman's Benevolent Associa
tion of Danville, who will m »ke judi
cious use of it in aidiug the worthy
poor.
The following officers yesterday were
eleoted by the Ministerial Asso nation
for the ensuing year: President, M.
L. Shindel; Vice President, Rev. W.
O. McOormack, D. D. ; Secretary, Rev
Johu S'lermau ; Treasurer, R«JV. S. B.

Danville Wins Fast Game.
The Moutobr Basket Ball Associa
tion five was pitted against a strong
aggregation—the Mt. Oarmel team—at
the Armory Tuesday, and fast and
furious game was the result. The Dan
ville boys, however, were too rlever at
tossing for the visitors, and won out
by a score of 33 to 14.
The teams were very eveuly match
ed in everything but basket throwing
ability.and in this the locals were far
in tfee lead. Welliver with 7 baskets
and Russell with 5, led the field, toss
ing them from seemingly impossible
positions. The Mt. Caimel five ex
hibited some very clever team work,
their quick passing being especially
noticeable. They played a hard aud
clever, although losing game.
A great deal of unnecessary rough
ness pervaded the game, thirteen fouls
being called during the contest. Both
sides were the offenders.
Jack Knoblaugh, the Mt. Carmel
center, outshone the rest of the visit
ing team both in his fast offensive and
defensive work, and in his basket
throwing. For Danville, Frank Rus
sell at guard did the best all around
playing, not only preventing his op
ponent forward from scoring,but mak
ing five tallies himself.

Shot a Buck Falling From Tree.
Olarence Heller, of Berwick,return
ed Tuesday ev«niug from a hunting
trip in the neighborhood of Keating,
Pa. He had a ninety pound doe to
exhibit as the result of his prowess.
A most remarkable incident was
figured in by the party of which he
was a member. One of the number,
William Moore, of Keating, while
standing on a fallen tree,, the trunk of
which was suppoited several feet from
•he ground by branches, saw a deer in
the brush. The other members of the
party saw him raise his gun to aim,
but thought he was joking. At that
moment he lost his balance and fell
from the elevated tree trunk Midway
to the ground the gun was discharg
ed.
Picking himself up, Moore insisted
that he had shot a deer, and while no
one believed him, a short search was
made with no results.
His companions then went on. but
Moore refused to leave the locality,
and continued to search, and that he
was correct in his position was soon
demonstrated,as a flue ISO pound buck
was found in the bashes, dead from
Moore's bullet.
GRANGE BANKS
HA; BE STARTED
Joliu G. McHenry, of Benton, well
kuowu throughout this section of the
state, is prominently identified with a
movement that promises great interest
aud importance to members of the
Grange. The projeot— which develop
ed at Saturday's meeting of the Na
tional Grange at Atlantic Oity —is
that of the establishment of a Grange
national bauk in every county in Penn
sylvania, with farmers as its principal
stockholders.
A press dispatch from Atlantic City
says the idea comes iu the form of a
carefully prepared report by W. F.
Hill.ma-ter ot the Pennsylvania State
Grange. With John G McHenry, of
Bentoa, president of the Columbia
County National bank, as the princip
al backer, and with members of Po
mona Grange rrf Tioga county.as stock
holder! and directors.the idea will be
put into practical shape within a few
weeks by the organization ot the
Grange National bank, of Tioga, in
the borough of Tioga. The capitaliza
tion of this first bairn has been fixed
at #25,000. Of this amount, f.,000 was
subscribed by residents of tiie borougli
and by farmers who live near it. Its
organization will be followed within
a few mouths by the foundation of fif
teen other grange national banks iu as
many counties. Within two years, it
is planned to have one grange nation
al bauk in each of the forty-five coun
ties of Pennsylvania in which the
grange Ins a pomona, as the central
county graugn is called.
All of these banks will feed and be
fed by the Grange National bauk of
Pennsylvania, which will be estab
lished in Pniladelpliia. Organization
of this central institution will be per
fected after about a dozen of the small
er bauks have been established.
"It will give to the farmers the use
of mouey to finanoe their own im
provements,such as rural telephones,"
said Mr. Hill iu urging the idea. "It
will make the individual father more
prosperous, and will do wonders to
ward advancing the welfare of com
munities. Of course, there must be
wise and conservative administration
of all the affairs of these bauks. They
will be independent of each other, but
each will have several men upon the
board of trustees, who will also be
trustees of the other grange banks.
This will assure a uniformly aud con
servatism of action through all. The
amount of capital in each will depend
upon the financial resources of the dis
trict. Capital out-ide of the grange
will be accepted. So certain of suc
cess are wo that Mr. McHenry has
offered to make a written guarantee
to the stockholders of the Grange Na
tional bank of Tiogj, that he will buy
the stock of any holder who wishes to
sell two years after its foundation, at
a substantial increase upon the origin
al investment."
Shot Big Buck.
The town of Orangeville yesterday
about noon witnessed a most spectacu
lar sceue—the entire population was
thrown into the wildest excitement,
I and running breathlessly about the
streets ; ail because a buck weighing
over two hundred pounds had been
shot on the outskirts of the village.
While Perry Montgomery was hunt
ing for pheasants on Knob mouutain,
three-quarters of a mile from town.he
discovered an immense buck. Having
nothing bat bird shot, he did not dis
turb the animal, but returntd to town
for a rifle. Returning to the moun
tain. he fortunately found the animal
grazing not far from where it was first
seen. Montgomery got a good shot and
dropped the animal in its tracks.
He then came to Orangeville, pro
cured a team of hories and wagon, iu
which the carcass was brought to the
village. When weighed it tipped the
scales at 205 pounds.
Old hunters who saw the buck declar
ed it was the finest specimen they had
ever seen. Three prongs on its antlers
indicated its age to bo three years.
Not long ago a party of hunters on
North Mountain disturbed a herd of
deer aud as none of these animals had
ever been seen before near Orange
ville,this cne is thought to have wan
dered there from the North Mountain.
Dr. Curry Injures Foot.
Dr. E. A. Curry is suffering from
the effects of a painful wound on his
foot sostained yesterday afternoon in
a very odd manner.
The physician had stepped into the
rear of Hunt's drug store aud was
standing by the stove. Sime one at
tempted to open the stove door, when
the latter fell off the hinges aud drop
ping to tho floor struck the top of Dr.
Curry s foot. The sharp corner of the
iron door pierced the leather and the
stocking right on top of the joint of
the great toe, producing a very pain
ful wound.
He is just recovering from the ef
fects of a had carbuncle on his right
hand, so that with the sore foot added
he finds it inconvenient to move about
although he still manages to look af
ter his patients.

FAYETTE FARMER'S
200 MILE TRAMP
Because his neighbors are chopping
down timber on a rocky tract of 150
acres near Uniontown,Fayette county,
which he claims as his property, David
Enfield arrived in Harrisburg Friday
after having traveled on foot the en
tire distance of about 200 miles from
his home, to lake steps at the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs to make his
title clear.
Enfield is a sturdy farmer of (50years.
The laud he claims constitutes the
whole of his woildly wealth. The
tract is rough and only good as tim
ber laud and his means are so limited
that he could not afford to pay car
fare.
When lie told his story to the sur
prised clerks of the Department of In
ternal Affairs he attached little im
portance to his remarkable feat of
pedestrianism, but proceeded to ex
plain his case to Deputy Secretary
Theodore B. Kline.
Back iu 1882 Enfield secured a war
rant to the tract, but because of the
expense of having the surveys made,
he never took out a patent, which lie
now desires. The necessary steps to
procure the patent were expiaiued to
him by Mr. Kliue.
Enfield was in the best of health af
ter his loug walk during which he
passed through eight counties, having
gone out of the straight line to see A.
R McCarthy, in Huntingdon. Mc-
Carthy aud Enfield had jointly taken
out the warrant to the land iu 'B2.and
it was necessary for Enfield to get Mc-
Carthy to release his portion of the
claim. He readily agreed to do so.
After reachiug Harrisburg Enfield
removed all the signs of travel from
his raiment before calling at the de
j partuieut. Wlieu he arrived there his
appearance was that of a roughly clad
farmer. He wore a cap and dark suit
of clothes, hut the most remarkable
portiou of his apparel were his shoes,
the solos of which are an inch thick.
When one of the clerks iuvited En
field out to dinner, thinking his cir
cumstances were such that he could
not afford a square meal Enfield cour
teously decliued, saying he had jnst
had a hearty luncheon.
Eufield is a Prohibitionist to the
core and while in Harrisburg called
on Dr. Silas C. Swallow, from whom
he sought advice how to proved in
case he failed to secure the patent on
his laud. Dr. Swallow dnected him
to an attorney, but inquiry at the lat
ter office brouhgt out the fact that En
field had not called.
Enfield said that he would not walk
all of the way back home. He had
enough money to buy a ticket to
Johnstown, from where he proposes
to cut back through the mouutain-',
finishing the trip afoot.
A STEADY DRAIfI.
Sick Kidneys Weaken the Whole Body-
Make You IU, Languid and De
pressed.
Sick kidneys weaken the body through
the continual drainage of life-giving
albumen from the blood into the uriue
aud the substitution of poisouous uric
acid that gees bioadcast through the
system, sowing seeds of disease. Los
of albumen causes .weakness languor,
depression. Uric poisoning causes
rheumatic pain, nervousness, nau-ea,
cricks in the back, gravel aud kidney
stones. The proper treatment is a kid
uey treatment, and the best remedy is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Great Danville
cuies prove it.
Mrs. Nelson Hollister, of fill Mill
street,says: "When we lived in Lewis
burg some years ago my sou was trou
bled with backache about which he
was continually complainiug. He was
unaole to sleep nights, always had
headaches and felt depressed aud tired
the whole time The kidney secretions
were annoying and embarrassiug
Doan's Kidney Pills wroked a quick
cure, and after taking them only a
short time he wa« cured. My husband
also used some for lameness in the
back aud thev gave him immediate
relief. From my own experience with
the pain in the back and kidney trou
ble I can say that they are of great
benefit. It was in 189fi, over eight
years ago,since my sou was cured,aud
the cure then made lias been perman
ent. We recommeiid Doan's Kidney
Pills highly "

Bath Too nuch for Hobo.
The superstition ot the hobo in re
gard to washing being fatal has been
proved true. Frank Torey, a profes
sional tramp and probably the dirtiest
one that has ever been gathered iu by
the officers,died iu tha Harrisburg jail
so.ne time during Saturday night after
having been introduced to his first
hath in years.
Torey was given lodging on Thurs
day night and after having been turn
ed free on Friday, morning wandered
about the city until arrested by the
police on a charge of vagrancy. He
wai given a hearing aud also five days.
An effoit was made at the hearing
to discover his nationality and his
former home, but all that could be
discovered was that he wanted to
reach Atleutowu. He was taken to the
county jail after the hearing, but it
was too late to administer soap and
water and the job was delayed until
Saturday. One of the negro prisoners
was instructed on Saturday morning
to cleau the hobo aud so noti tied Torey
of his instruction to introduce him to
water. The hobo did not object aud
after a good scrubbing it was possible
to tell the color of the prisoner.
He was then allowed to return to
his cell and at once sought his cot. It
was not long before he was slumber
ing peacefully with apparently no ill
effects from his bath. Sunday morn
ing wheu the keeper made his usual
rounds he discovered Torey lying in
his cot as if asleep,but upon investiga
tion he found the tramp had expired.
The authorities at Allentowu have
been communicated with in hopes of
finding soma relatives of tho dead
man.
l^ongenberger-'Fox.
Jesse M. Lougenberger.of Sunbury,
formerly of Danville, and Miss Bessie
E. Fox, of Sunbury, were married Sat
urday eveuing at the home of the
groom's brother, William Lotißenber
ger. Ferry street. Rev. L D. Ulrich,
pastor of Trinity Lutheran church,
performed the ceremony. The young
couple will reside in Sunbury.
PiNNSY TO HAVE
DOUBLE TRACK
That the Sunbury, Hazleton & Wil
kes-Barre division of the Pennsylvan
ia 'ailroad will iu the near future be
entirely double track is not doubted
for » moment by anyone who follows
the> improvements being made on that
line.
What is known as the Permissive
Block System is now being installed.
This system, in which the entire line
is divided up into small sections or
blocks, will allow two or three trains
on the same block at once; but is so
regulated that when a single passen
ger train occupies the block no other
train can enter thereon until the pas
senger leaves. As will at once be
seen, this system greatly increases
the traffic facilities of the road, while
at the same time affording the great
est protection to travelers.
Another feature of the system is
that when more than one freight
train occupies a single block, the en
gineer of each train knows the exact
location of each of the other trains.
The S. H. & W. division extends
from Wilkes-Barre to Sunbury, aud
that the new block system may be
worked most advantageously a double
track is required. Along this divis
ion there is now a series of sidings
and to counect [these, thus making a
double track,would uot b« a great un
dertaking. One siding now extends
from Wilkes-Barre almost to Retreat,
knowu as Honeypot siding. More of
these sidings are being continually ad
ded and iu a few years the series will
be complete.
No Scarcity of Turkeys.
One thing to be thankful for is the
probability that turkeys will be cheap
er at the approaching Thauksgiving
aud Christmas than they were last
year. Reports from different parts of
the country represent these estimable
fowls a« being reasonably numerous,
with the prospect of their price being
within reason. The season appears to
have been favorable for their pro
pagation and rearing. But like all
good things it was not entirely per
fcet. The bogs and grasshoppers
were so numerous, aud kept up their
activity in the fields to so late a period
in the season, that the turkeys almost
ran their legs off chasing them, an ex
ercise that developed their muscles at
the expense of that tenderness and
juiciness which is the delight of epi
cures when the bird is in the right
coudition. But whether tough or ten
der it is a relief to know that turkeys
will bo more plentiful than last year,
with a corresponding moderation of
the [irice. A ye-»r ago thev roosted
high at Thanksgiving and at Christ
mas took a still higher limb.
Annual Seed Distribution.
The auuual distribution of the veg
etable and flower seeds by the Depart
ment of Agriculture begins on L»eceni
ber Ist and before planting time it is
expected the entire amount aggregat
ing 38,000,000 packages will b« in the
hands of the people iu all sections of
the country.
Congress for the past s-ev«ral years
has appropriated $290,000 for this pur
pose but a portion of the amount is
used for foreign expernueut work and
other kindred matters. The bulk of
the 88,000,000 packages is subject, to
the order of senators and representa
tives for distiibution among their
constituents, the secretary of agricul
ture reserving one-fifth of the entire
amount to supply the statistical crops
correspondents, the Weatiier Bureau
and for other purposes.
Foot Ball Saturday.
The Bloomsburg High School foot
ball team will play the third game of
the Danville-Bloomsburg series with
the High School at DeWitt's Park, Sa
turday afternoon.
The two teams are very evenly match
ed this year as is shown by the scores
in the two previous g>»mt>s. Blooms
burg defeated Danville at DeWitt's
Park by the score of 6to 0, and were
tied at Bloomsburg.neither team scor
ing. The game on Sitorday promises
to be hotly coutested, as the Danville
hoys are determined to win the cham
pionship of the two towus.
nr. Laumaster at Milton.
The Milton Standard speaks in the
following high terms of our townsman
William D. Laumaster:
"The services held by Evangelist
W. D. Laumaster, under the auspices
of the local Young Men's Christian
Association,have been exceedingly iii
tere-tiug aud helpful. Yesterday Mr.
Laumaster spote effectively iti Christ's

PANIC CAUSED
BY IAD IAN
Clarence Stuart, son of Fleming
Stuart, who resides in Franklin town
ship, Columbia couuty, about a mile
from Roaring Creek, was brought
to this city Sund ty afternoon aud
placed in the Danville Hospital for
the Insane,the unfortunate young man
having developed a case of lunacy
with a decidedly violent and morose
trend.
As in many of these sad cases a girl
stands well in the foreground of the
tragedy. Young Stuart became en
amored of a girl wiio lived near him,
but the match being discouraged she
left that vicinity and the young man,
brooding over her absence lost his
reason. His insauity,which came up
ou him about ten days ago,took am st
violent form with sometimes a period
of morose quiet.
While in this state be procured fire
arms, and kept uot onlv his own fam
ily but the entire neighborhood in a
state of panic with his threats to shoot
anyone who name near bin.
It was with great difficulty that the
attending physicians Drs. J. M.and
George H. Vastine.of Catawissacould
examine him. They aid so, however,
aud on Friday issued committment
papers to the Hospital at this place.
, Sunday Dr. J. M. Vastine and
an assistant went to Stuart's and by a
ruse succeeded in subduing the mad
mau and placing hand cuffs upon his
wrists. He wast »keu to the Hospital
Sunday evening.

Large Barn Burned.
The large barn on the farm of Dr.
J. O. Nipple, of Sunbury, which is
located about a mile below Selins
grove, together with its conteuts of
live stock, grain and farming imple
ments, was burned to the ground at
an early hour Saturday morning.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Frederick Herman, the tenant on the
farm, was awakened between the hour
of two and three by a bright light
showing through the bed room win
dow. Jumping out of bed he found
that the light came from the barn, the
entire one side of which was envel
oped in a mass of seething flames.
Summoning assistance Herman ran
to the barn and began to fight the
flames with water by the buckets full,
which had no more effect than if none
had been nsed. During this battle
others made heroic efforts to rescue
the live stock, but they were also
powerless to do anything. So fiercely
did the fire spread that the barn and
contents was destroyed in less than a
half hour after the flames were first
discovered. Five horses aud eleven
head of cattle were burued and the
season's crops and nil the farming im
; plements were destroyed.
May Install (iasolene Cars.
There is a probability that an en
tirely now feature in street railways
may be introduced in this vicinity
when the Bloomsburg aud Millville
line, now iu course of construction, is
1 completed, the officers of the company
having practically decided to equip
their line with gasoline cars.
But little is known of the gasoline
car in this sectio» of the country, but
; its utility and the practicability of its
rise is known in the West, where the
' Union Pacific Railroad uses the cars
in large numbars. Each car is equip
f ped with a six cylinder gasoline en
gine developing 100 horsepower, and
is capable of attaining a speed of <">o
miles per hour.
The equipment of the Bloomsburg-
Millville liue with the*e cars would
obviate the necessity of a powerhouse
and all overhead construction work,
including wires, poles, etc.. which in
itself would bo a great inducement iu
their favor.

A Psalm of Farm Life.
The following timely parody was
handed in at the [American office
DanviUe man with the request that it
be published. He had just done his
Saturday's marketing:
Tell me not in brokeu measures
Modern firming does not pay,
For the farm produces chickens,
And the hens—do they not lay?
Eggs are high and going higher,
And the price is soaring fast;
Every time we goto market
It is higher than the last.
Not a coop but it produces
Every day an egg or two;
So each farmer gains his millions.
Eveu though his hens be few.
Every egg is verv precious,
And the hens are held in awe:
When a hen begins to cackle,
Then the farmer goes " Haw, haw!"
In the broad and busy farmyard
Struts a rooster now and then,
But the shrewd, bewhiskered farmer
Only uotices the hen.
Trust no rooster, howe'er showy
Be the feathers in his tail;
Pay attention to the biddies,
And your wealth will never fail.
Lives of farmers all remind us
We may roll in wealth some day,
If we hustle to the market
With tne eggs our pullets lay.

MRS. BRANDON'S
BAD ACCIDENT
Mrs Clara Brandon, widow of the
late Arthur Brandon, met with a ter
rible fall at iier home, East Market
street, Friday afternoon, as there
salt of which she sustained a fracture
of the left arm. Mrs. Brandon was in
the house alone when the accident oc
curred, bat fortunately secured as
sistance through persons passing.
A. C. Koat was employed yesterday
to take down the awnings in front of
the house. He had the awnings all
unfastened and was ready to store
them away when he was relieved by
Mrs. Braudon, who told liim that she
would take care of them herself. Mr.
Roat departed, when, it seems. Mrs.
Brandon picked op one ottlie awnings
and proceeded to carry it up stairs.
The awnings as is well known repre
sent scarcely any weight; the rods,
however, made them inconveuient to
handle. Mrs Brandon had reached the
fourth step when the ungainly load
caught in some way and caused her to
fail over backwards. The height she
fell was only that of some three feet,
but the position she was in made it im
possible for her to escape serious in
jury. Iu landing, it seems, she struck
her left elbow,the weight of her bodv
falling upon that arm. The result was
a complete fracture of the bone, mid
way between the elbow and shoulder.
Mrs. R. B. Diehl, who with her
husband occupies the house with Mrs.
Brandon was out calling at the time
and the injured woman was home
alone. She was able to rise and as
certaining that she was badly hurt
made her way to the door where she
asked some people passing to carry the
news down to the post office where

nounced its deoision in the matter of
the minimum percentage of cars iu
trains required to be operated with

A VETERAN
mH A RECORD
The exjloßion ot' the mine under the
Confederate lei at Petersburg, Va.,
on July 30,1864 during the Civil War,
is historica'. In a general way every
well-read per ou knows that sol
diers, mostly ci *1 miners under Col
onel Pieasauts, Rebel
fort aud placed beneath it eight tons
of gun powder, which at 4:45 o'clock
in the morning by the means of a fuse
was exploded; xlso that the execution
was terrific, ti a entire fort with its
artillery and garrison of four hundred
men being lifted two hundred feet in
the air, leaving a crater one hundred
and fifty feet lo lg,sixty feet wide and
twenty-five fe< t deep. It Is not so well
known,however that among those who
charged the lit es and with only a
handlul of met earned fame by hold
ing a position i 1 the dreadful crater
is one of Danville's most esteemed
residents persot ally known to nearly
every man, woman and child.
The casual r» »der of the History of
the Second Pennsylvania Veteran
Heavy Artillery will find much to en
chain his inter- st but nothing quite
so thrilling as the incidents attending
the attack on Petersburg, especially
those which rel ite to the Provisional
Second Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery.
It was this reg' neut which in obedi
ence to orders rom the Commander,
Lieutenant Col net Barney, charged
directly into 111; crater after the ex
plosion, entern g the enemy's works
aud even advancing one hundred yard
beyond. Theaivauciag battalion find
ing that it; wis not supported fell
back iuto the crater. The Confeder
ates then rallie i and poured a deadly
hail of shot, shell, cauister aud musk
tery into the crater. The Provisional
Regiment fi 11 back, after which the
Ninth Corps colored troops were sent
forward and advanced a short distanoe
when they halted, A body of Con
federates charged on them with a yell
when tLev broke aud came tumbling
back over the woiks with fixed bay
onets compelling many of the Provis
ional toys to fall back with them; but
19 men remained fighting desperately
amid fearful carnage until they were
compelled to surrender.
An eye witness of the conflict at
j that point says: The fire of the enemy
j was more than terrific. How any men
I escaped death iu the qrater is a mys-
I tery to me. Cannon on the right and
i left aud musketry iu front pouriog in
' their deadly hail of iron and lead
seemed to cover every inch of the
ground.
Hi-story prints Che roll of honor and
i the secoud name ou the list of those
who remained fighting desperately in
the crater u; til overwhelmed by num
bers, loilowiug that of Captain John
Norris, is David Ruckle, First Serge
ant.
Mr. Ruckle was then only some
twenty years of age, but he already
had plenty of experience in war, for
he enlisted when only about nineteen
years of age, He saw service first as
a nine months man in 1862. He next
eulisteil in the 112 th Regiment and
about two weeks later was transferred
;to the Provisional Second Heavy Ar
tillery in which ho saw service from
May, 1864, to July 30, when he was
taken prisoner at Petersburg. He was
held by the eue:my 8 mouths and 19
days. For over eight months along
with rnauy others he was imprisoned
iu tobacco sheds at Danville. Va. ; he
was thence transferred to the Libby
prisou at Richmond, Va., but happily
was destined to remain there only
three days, wheu he was included in a
number that were taken to a parole
camp at Aunapolis, Md.
Mr. Ruckel was interviewed yester
day concerning some of the above in
cidents as touched on in the History
of the Second Pennsylvania Regiment.
His description of the awful carnage
attending the charge into the crater at
Petersburg accords with accounts giv
en in historr. the Rebels charged
into the crater he distinctly heard the
comman ler order his men to kill all
the ofti :ers and the negroes. R. J.
Millard, then of Espy, but now living
in the West, was a captain. While the
carnage raged Mr. Ruckel kept the
man prostrate between his knees and
was able to beat otf repeated attempts
to kill him. Before the decisive mo
ment was reached, Mr. Ruckel says the
ground was more than strewn with
the slain. Arouul himself the dead,
mostly negroes, lav waist deep.
Mr. Ruckel is not a man to talk
moch over the dreadful scenes through
which he passed ; indeed, it is not ev
ery persou who knows that he ever
was one of Uucle Sam's fighters. A
brave soldier in lis time,now that war
is over he is wedded to the arts of
peace aud is an honored citizen whose
integrity aud patriotism aie never
questioned.
