CHAPTER IV.
It was at this critical porlod or
my cscapo which, when detailed to
tho public in my lectures through
out tho western States caused un
usual commonts by tho press. Somo
maintained that it would ho Impos
sible for a person In my exhausted
condition at that tlmo, consequent
on my long 'imprisonment, to pass
through tho trying ordeal to which
1 was subjected toy this homo guard
who completed my capture at tho
time I knocked on tho bottom of
that kitchen door, asking for food,
then In the last stage of starvation.
But tho comrades of tho Grand Army
stood by me, and believed. They
knew that such atrocities as partici
pated upon mo when recaptured
(which at this late date, to relate
would causo unnecessary contro
versy and add but a little to the
Interest of 'my story) was common
with theso men when upon tho trail
of an escaped prisoner of war. I
wish my readers to understand I do
not charge these persecutions to tho
regular enlisted soldier who did his
lighting at tho front, wlf,ero you
found tho man of courage, but to
tho homo guard human vampires
dressed In the cloth of the Southern
soldier, to which they wero no more
entitled than Old Nick would bo to
tho sacred robes of Heaven. These
scavengers for blood, men who wero
void of honor when tho demon of
their nature was temporarily van
quished and tho spirit of goodness
illuminated their soul; men capable
to dark deeds who repellod the least
suspicion of a thought that tended
towards mercy. These wero tho peo
ple that trailed and hounded the
prisoner of wnr that would daro to
break away, and mako an effort for
liberty.
It was theso vicious agencies that
deterred many from making an ef
fort to get away from theso pens of
pestilence and vermin, knowing from
others' experience, who had tried and
failed, that there was a slight chance
to succeed, but a stronger one to lose
one's life. The swamps and tho val
leys were often whitened with their
bleaching bones. In all due fairness
to tho Southern soldier to maintain
their escape, the men who fought val
iantly at tho front, I must draw tho
line and separate them from these
merciless whelps that wero placed
over prisoners of war, or that hung
upon the outskirts of a prison
ready to hunt them down.
When the Southern Confederacy
called its roll of men heartless and
merciless and placed them in charge,
they could not have selected a more
fiendish set had the gates of Hell
been opened to them, but all this was
sanctioned by a few not all.
Six hundred and thirty-five days
in their different prisons gave me a
thorough knowledge of the class that
were upholding their cause.
There were scenes and occurrences
in my prison life that wero I to tell
you of ten minutes' happenings each
day, In the way I see them, would
discount fiction and qualify you to
judge as to their character as soldiers.
Oh, you who heard not of this woe,
Listen till you hear tho tale.
It caused tho man of strength to
shrink,
it turned tho warrior nale.
It made tho youthful hair turn gray,
it changed tho youth to old,
It mado a skeleton form of some,
Whllo thousands it turn cold.
It wns qulto an uncertainty to mo
mat 1 would over reach Columbia
when I overhenrd I Was to bo re
taken. Several times they would
stop and nrguo tho easiest and most
diabolical way to dispose of me
Passing through Newberry It seemed
to bo tho delight of my captors to
completo my torture, they practising
tho extent of tholr Ingenuity whllo
standing at a well at the outskirts
of tho town, refreshing 'themselves
but not a drop for tho poor, miser
able Yankee. (Readers, I shall draw
tho screen again.) One of them
started In ndvanco as wo left tho
well to procure tho ropo and the
crowd. After my first night's exper
ience witu them, I did not doubt the
cruelties the were capable of, and
I think thoy would have carried out
their Intentions had tho patrol not
been waiting for mo nr some others
to take them to Columbia. My heart
was gladdened In a mensuro to get
out of their hnnds. Tho patrol wero
not such had fellows. Yet at that
time with prison again staring mo In
tho face, I was indifferent as to what
they did. My poor suffering body
was too far gono to care. Death
would have 'been a relief.
And when my sentence at tho Col
umbia Jail was announced to remain
upon the stair steps 24 hours with
out food a guard at the top and
one at the foot with instructions
to run a bayonette through me if I
went up or came down. I cnsldered
It very magnanimous to what I ex
pected and consoled myself with this
pleasant surprise.
I was soon returned to tho prison
from whence I had escaped, and
many wero the questions from .my
comrades. One especially, how It
felt to ho free, and what yore the
cnanccs for success.
The winter of 'C4 passed, leaving
In its prison record a sorrowing tale
of woe and want, and death, which
I hope never to see chronicled.
It is February, 1SG5. There is a
new lot of guards on hand. Some
thing new Is stirring the prison au
thorities. The guards are preparing
to leave. 'Where now are they going
to take us? Can It be worse?
On our way to Charlotte, Captain
Wilson, 22 Mass., Boston; Captain
D. B. Meany, 12th Penn. Cavalry,
60G Chestnut St.. Philadelphia, Pa.;
Durbrow, 81st Ohio; Lieut. Hagen
back, Easton, Pa.; Capt. J. F. Robin
son, Telurold, Col., of my own regi
ment, got our heads together. I am
encouraging them. Yes, they are
nearly willing to try Liberty. Oh,
how sweet tho sound. Look back
upon tho dark past. Will you go?
My very soul Is aflame with the
thought. I have tried It, come with
me. There is a possibility of our
reaching the union lines in Tennes
see. Oh come! Do not stay and
dlo. Make an effort. Only a few
hundred miles. I appeal to you, my
comrades. Liberty! Oh, how sweet!
Come!

MRS. FURMAN FOUND GUIITY.

Mrs. Ellen E. Furman, who waa

Tho chargo is that Mrs. Furman

Howitt Says His System Will Drive

Teter Cooper Hewitt of New York,
grandson of Peter Cooper, Inventor of
the electric lamp that bears his name,
nfter several years' work hns invented
a vacuum transformer by which It is
possible to change an alternating elec
trical current into a direct current, by
which trains can be operated entirely
by electricity with tho tiower station.

every railroad in tho United Stntps.
On a line from New York to New Or

dozen power stations would be needed,
while to San Francisco probably not
more than fifteen power plants would
be required.
