DASHED TO DEATH BY CANNON-BULL TRAIN (Continued from First Page,) train crashed Its destructive way. Tho hour was about 7 o'clock, nnd the dark? ness of night was gradually rendering iho road obscure. The horses jogged along nt ft merry pace and .the .children' began ?to think of homo and supper, At a point, perhaps fifteen miles down the track from Richmond, the ?ermuda Hundred Road, along which tho party wits traveling, ciosscs the Atlantic Coast Line. While the wagons were slowly making their way to this crossing the cannon ball train from Norfolk, running at a speed of about forty miles an hour, was thun? dering from Petersburg toward Richmond. Struck by Train. The wagon containing Mrs. 'Lozon and hor children was fairly. across the track when the flying train struck It. A tremor passed through tho train, which sped on by and then slowed down. The light wagon flew Into a thousand splinters /mid the people ln it were flung to tho right and tho left. The horse was a mangled heap, unrecognizable In the dark. Mrs. Lozon was killed outright. Hei Utile boy, of almost five, mot the samo late. Bessie Lozon, a girl of thirteen, was terribly hurt and cannot rocover. She was badly Injured internally and th? cnlvesh of both logs wore torn off. The third child, another boy, was cut nbout tho faco, but not seriously hurt. Tho two who rode in the socond vehlclo escaped unhurt. The train came to a standstill and then pushed back to tho fatal spot. The wreck of the party was gathered up and the two bodies wero laid out ln the haggago car. The injured girl was stretched beside them. The two boys also got ln and the father followed. The train then started off again and before long was In Richmond. During tho short time that It took tbe train to mako the trip Mr. Lozon sat with bowed hend he side his dead wife and child. Not a word he spoko, nor did ho. move until he reached'the station. His sudden and awful bereavement was paralyzing In its effect, Hospital and Undertakers. The city ambulance met tho train and little Bessie and'her'brother were taken ot the Retreat for (he Sick. They were placed under tho care of Dr. C. R, Rob? ins. The girl is not expected to live. The boy, as stated before, Is hut slightly hurt. The bodies of Mrs. Lozori and the dead son wero taken to Bllley's undertaking establishment, where they woro prepared for burial. I'p to midnight last night no nrrangements- for tho funeral hnd been rOTripletei!. Thero Is a conflict of testimony a? to whether the englnemnn blew for the crossing. A passenger seen last night snld that ho was not nt all suro about It. Mr. Lozon said that when ho heard the train coming he would have shouted lo his wlff. to stop, but he knew her to bo a careful driver, ond thought sho was In a position to judge better than he ?vnild. Tho.ia'ccldept occurred nbout 7 o'clock when it was''rapidly growing dark. THE SURRENDER GROUND The Placo as it Looks After Period of Thirty-eight Years, t Appomattox C.

I drove o?a from the depot four inllcs behind "Hal" Flood's pair of pretty sorrels and drew reins at a rail fence beside the red dirt road. Wo dis? mounted, climbed iho fence, walked ^i few eleps and stood undor a poplar tree, which measured seven feet around, and inore was a cast Iron tablet about Hx2 feet resting at ail Inclino upon a abort Iron post, which had been erected by the United State? government! ln raised lot? tert-, all?

There Ib. nothing to show that a troo cvor stood there, but two old ap? ple tree snags, a ilttlo way off, suggeet that an on?* ard had onco upon a time occupied tho place. At the time tho sol? diers of both armlos had cut the tree down, even digging up its roots, and oarrled It away, pleco meal, as relics of tlio fatal day. I have slnco seen a Con fodorato soldier who. said he got somo of tho last chips, which laid amund, arid anothor who said he carried ott a good sized stick of? that some tree nnd "tooted" it upon his shoulder until It grew so heavy ho had to drop It. A few hundred- yards from this spot, across a creek to the south, by the road? side, at tlio foot of ?a. hill, was some? thing llko a sign-post, with only this on It: "The Confederate outpost," and at tho top of tho hill, In tho road, a similar one! "The Union outpost." So there the pickets of the two historic armies stood about 200 yards apart, in sight and in easy gunshot of oacn other, awaiting tho grand linaio ot tho greatest civil War of the ages, while their leaders arranged the .urms oTthc surrender In the parlor of the MoLaln house. Tho houso and lot has been bought by some proposing speculator and pulled down, the lumber now lying ln piles wlthing a high paling fence, seemingly ready for ro moval, which has been .long delayed. My companion vaulted ovor tho palings and got ?a slat out of. ono of tho win do w Bhuttcrs'tind tossed It to mo "for keeps." THE M'LAIN HOUSE. Between the M?Laln house and the Union outpost tablet, In a field on tho cast Bide of tho road, Is an old field where another tablet marks tho place where the Union army, drawn up In line, re? ceived the surrender o? the Confederates Who stacked arms In tholr front. ?Imagine the tears that were dropped and-the h.opes that were crushed along that rag?fod'grev lino.

EAST PADFOrtD, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, VA? Scpt..__--Thc re-entrnnco of Jmlgo Archer A, Phlegm? Into public life Is regarded by ? numher'Of persons with whom I havo talked In four or five counties recently as of the utmost sig? nificance. It Is takon to nienti that he is disposed to dovoto much of his time In future to publlo nffnlrs, nnd It Is be? lieved tho 6tato will recolvo I1I3 sorvlces for some years to come. I have several.times recently board hin ?amo spoken of In connection with Ihn governorship, and more freeiuontly his consent to enter tho Stnto Senate hns boon discussoci and gratification thorcnt expressed. White in Flncastle last weok a number of citisene of the town and of tho county as well, In discussing Judgo Phlcgnr's nomination, spoke of the pleasure they felt at his decision to ro-enter public life. I As I was on tho trnln on route from Botetourt to Roanoke, a lady who tnkes a deop interest In public affairs spoke with enthusiasm of Judgo Fhlegnr'e can? didacy, nnd a gontloman In the smoking car unreservedly declared Archer Phlegar his candidate for the gubernatorial nomi? nation In ino*. When I reached Roanoke, on the day ot the primary, a grent mnny people spoke of Phlegar as tho man for tho governorship next time. Any doubt which, may have oilslod as to his popu? larity In that city wns removed by the overwhelming victory he achieved ovor W. W. Berkeley, a Roanoko man, hie opponont for tho nomination. Montgomery, Judgo Phlegnr's county, was nearly solid for him. Only threo votes woro cast for Rerkeloy at this place. Yet citizens of Hast Radford are greatly regretting that tho voto was not unanimous. Thoy worked ns hard to make It so as If tholr labors woro to provont defeat. TYDER AT PO.T.T-S. Ex-Governor Tyler took the deepest In? terest, In tho campaign, and remained In the neighborhood of the polls until nearly time for them to closo. His eon, Mr. Hal. C. Tyler, used the family car? riage throughout tbe afternoon to con? vey, voters to tho polls. Among tho voters here wns a cripple, o. man who was so badly hurt by a Nor? folk and Western train some years ago that ho has never walked since. This man got Into his wheel chair and whcoled himself to the voting place, a consider? able distance. Tears were In bis eyes as he expressed his pleasure nt being allowed the privilege of voting for such a man as Judge Phlegar. ? And thon. I. heard the story?heard It, from a dozen lips. After the.man was Injured he sued the railway company for damages. It was the opinion of ' nearly everybody that his case was a Just one, but tho jury did not think so, and ho went out of court without a cent. But Judgo Phlegar. though he had for many years been an attorney for a cor? poration, which is supposed not to have that which essentially differentiates man from beast, went to the officials of tho road and Induced them to give the In? jured mnn a houso and a ponalon, Tho man Is living In the house and drawing the pension to-day.

And were I to undertake to make and print any such list, the most mortified Individual In Virginia would bo the little man atoro ?" Id. Which reminds me of an Incident of several years ago, told me at the time of Its occurrence. A very distinguished lawyer of another State came to Rich? mond in connection with a case pending in the Supreme Court or the Federal Court. Ho was In the lobby at Mur? phy's on the night of his arrival, and In conversation with a State official asked the name of tbo lawyer on the other Fide. He was Informed that it xon Judgo Archer A. Phlegar, of Christiansburg, and the gentleman wns going on to tell tlie visitor something about the great Southwest Virginia lawyer. : ? "Oh. ? know Phlegar," Interrupted the lawyer. "Ho Is the llttlo man with tho big head," and ho wont on to sny that he regarder! him as ond of the ablest lawyers of his acquaintance. I could nlro print a colmn of such stories of the rep. utatlon of Judge Phlegm* among lawyers, Ihe most of them curront among the people of the Southwc._t. Judge Phlegar hns not had extensivo experience In public nffnlrs. Ho was elcotoil a member of the Stato Sonate In 1.S77, but nt that' session the bill In? troduced by G'ovornor Tyler, who was nt. tb.it time a member of the Senate, re. during tho number ot Senutors, beonme a law, and Mr. Phlegar fell out. The bill reduced the number from forty-throe to (orty; reduced tho pay from ' $0 per diem,to $| per diem, and made tho leg? islative session biennial Instead of an? nual. Tho doclsion ns to which threo Senators should retire wns settled by drawing lots. Governor Tyler nnd Mr. Phlegar drew straws that kept them at homo, ? All hough Mr. Phlegar. served only ono session In the Sonate ho mede a reputa? tion. A copimlttoo to reform the crim? inal lows of the' State wns appointed, a nel, at tho request of the members, his name was ridded to tho list of tboteo composing it. Thev snld Afterwards tlmt he did tho most of the work. William F. lnvlor, who was at that time Auditor of Public Accounts, snld tho recommenda? tions of the cornmltteo resulted In logis lutimi which effected an annual saving to the State of $70,000. In Augnili, 1000, Governor Tyler np polntod Mr, Phlegar to the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench, made vacant' b.v tho elonth of Judge H. C. Rlely, but Juilfeo Whittle was elected nt the next session of the Legislature, as Judge Phleg? ar nnd .ludge Bucbnnnn both cume fron, tlio Southwest, antl Soiithsido Virginia was um represented on the court.

WALTER EDWARD HARRIS. MRS. DAVIS' BOOK The Wo rk Was Entirely from Her Ow Pen. ' (From the Confederate Veteran.) The following, from Mrs. V. Jefferson Davis. In sonic unaccountable way, though dated March 28th, 1003, was not seen by the editor of the Veteran until August 7th. It refers to ' a paragraph In the John Dlmitry sketch, Fobrunry Veteran. "My Dear Mr. Cunningham,?On the seventy-third pnge ot your valuablo Jour nnl, the Confederate Veteran, of April, I find tho following ?entonce: 'In ISM Mri Dlmitry came South to aid his friend, .lames Rodpath, ?

"Tho lnmented and glftod Mr. John Dlmitry caino to Beauvoir for a few hours, and I should have besen giad? to havo had his assistance In looking up data; and his criticisms and memory of events would havo been especially valu? able to me, but bo told me that his eyes ?were- so afflicted by some ailment that the kind of work-I especially wished him! to do, viz: the summing up of the mill-' tnry services ot our commanders, he could not perform; so that to my knowl? edge ho did nothing in the preparation of my memoirs. I had not the appendile to tho Congressional Globe, and asked Mr. Rodpath to go Into New Orleans and copy accurately the citations I had mado from memory. Neither Professor Dlmitry nor Mr. Rodpath wrote anythlnu for my me? moir, nor indeed did any one else other than myself, except such aid as my es teemeeJ friend. Colonel William Miller Owen, gave, whom I Invited to write fii? history of battles m which ho hnd horno a. distinguished nnd honorable part In the Washington Artillery. Colonel Owen wrote many very spirited and clear ac? counts of the hard-fought battles of our troops: but unfortunately, my publisher declined to publish them when Incorpo rated Intd my narrative, and accredited to tbo author In the text, as they said the book would be moro bulky thnn he contemplated. So thoy wero crowOid out ln the three condensations I wns obliged tc give my manuscript before Its publica? tion, after which I gave the majority of them to him for his use, as they were valuable and most Interesting. "Mr. Redpath had every disposition snd nblllty to help mo, except that he had not the Bame point of view, did not know the personnel of our people, and had re? cently suffered a severe stroke of apoplexy, which disabled him for mental effort,' He thought our eea coast had Im? proved his health; therefore I asked for no one In his stead, and he remained at Beauvoir, but ho did no work on ray book, though he copied many pages of ex? cerpts of Pollard's history before he found out that I did not consider It acoti rate and could not accept it. His ser? vices to me wero ?Imply criticisms of style, and compan'eon and verification of ilutes, which certainly assisted me greatly Th* faults of my memoir proceeded prob? ably from lack of experience In literary work.

GIBBONS IS HOME AGAIN Cardinal Back from the Con* clave at Rome. HAD A PLEASANT VOYAGE Speaks with Enfhutiasm of. the New Pope, Who, He Says, Is Greatly In? terested in the Church in This Country, (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept, ??..--Cardinal Gib bone arrived here to-day on the Kaleer Wilhelm der Grosse, A delegation of priests and laymen from Baltimore went down tho bay on a revenue cutter to greet him and welcome him home. Among those heading the delegation vra* R. B. Tippet, of Baltimore, suprema president of the Catholic Benevolent Le? gion. When the woleoming party boarded the Kaiser Wllhem off quarantine, Mr. Tippet made an address of welcome, t* which the Cardinal responded briefly, aajr? ing: ln part; "You have been ploascd to refer to the ?date of m j*) ordination. Those were dark and troublesome-days. -My ordina? tion was almost coincident with the'be? ginning of the Civil War,* and every fresh Stale that left the Union brought a fresh pang to my heart." Continuing, the Cardinal said that at that time his heart was in the South and his head In the North. Another reception awaited the Cardi? nal when he went ashore at Koboken. Tho plor was crowdoe. with eccleclaetl cal friends from this city. PDBA8ANT VOYAGE.. The Cardinal had a pleasant voyage, and he said tho ocean trip had recupe? rated'his strength. Of the new Pontiff the Cardinal spoke in tentas of the great. est enthusiasm. He said that tho cholc? of the conclave had been most happy from an American viewpoint, as Plus X. was deeply Interested In the develop? ment of tho church in this country, and was singularly famlllnr with the Insti? tutions In this country. The Cardinal bad several lengthy Interviews with the ? Pone regarding church matters ln thla country. Concerning tho probablo relations be twoen the new Pop? and ?ho II*?*? government. ("Ardi?al Gibbons said: 'The Pope, as Patriarch of Vonlce, was on ver ? friendly terms with the King, bnt what a man does when he Is a mere pri? vate In the ranks, so to speak, and when he Is elevatod to power nnd responsibility, are wholly different things, What Pope Plus will do In this matter is. of coure?. unknown. Yon may rely on It. however, there will be nn sudden change. These thing? are not dono In a way to attract attention. It a chango does take place It will be a gradual change; tho friendli? ness batweon the Vntican end the Qui? rino! will ?row. Plus X. I* not the Patriarch of Venice, and while he may retain his friendly feeling for the KlnK. theso feelings will cause no sudden chango of papal policy, but will probably |n the course of trme bring about lm fluenced by very kindly feelings toward of things.

"Asked about tho possibility -of another American cardinal bein-t appointed, Car? dinal (jii)bons answered: "Therre will b? another cardinal. It would not surprle? mo to seo tho number of American car? dinals augmented In the near future, but thero Is absolutely no truth In the cable* statement thnt the Pope Pro"os??-,.,*" create a patriarch for the Occident.
