TZOE AND DZIHONAT.
Died at Crawordwile,. Aged Sventy
Mght Years, AZftr Protnkged
Iln=s---Nis career.
Gen. Lew Wallace, author, former Ameri
can minister to Turkey, and veteran of the
Mexican and civil wars, died at his home
In Crawfordsville. Ind., last night, aged
seventy-eight years. The health of Gen.
Wallace had been waning for several
years, and for months it had been generally
krown that his vigorous constitution could
not much longer withstand the ravages of
a wasting disease. For more than a year
ho had been unable to properly assimilate
food, and this. together with his extreme
age, made more difficult his fight against
death. At no time had he ever confessed
his belief that the end was nea', and his
ragged constitut on and remarkable vitality
Gen. Lew Wallace.
((p-yright, 3904. by Nicholson.)
had been responsible for prolonging his
life.
Besides his physician. only Mrs. Wallace.
hi son. Henry Wallace of Indianapolis, and
his wife were present at the end. When
told by his physician that he was dying
Gen Wallace was perfectly calm, and his
last words were expressions of cheer to his
grief-stricken family. Bidding them fare
well, he said: "I am ready to meet my
Maker," and lapsed into unconsciousness
from which he did not recover.
Was a Native of Indiana.
Lewis Wallace. known in every English
speaking country as the author of "Ben
Hur," was born in Brookville, Franklin
county. Ind., April lo, 1827, received a
ccmmon school education, and at the be
guming of the Mexican war was a law
student in Indiana. At the call for volun
teers he entered the army as a first lieuten
ant in Company H, 1st Indiana Infantry.
He resumed his profession in 1848, which
he practiced in Covington and subsequently
in Crawfordsille, Ind., and served four
years in the stite senate.
At the beginning of the civil war he was
appointed adjutant general of Indiana, soon
afterward becoming colonel of the 11th In
dinna Volunteers, with which he served in
West Virginia, participating in the capture
of Romney and the ejection of the enemy
from Harper's Ferry. He became brigadier
general of volunteers September 3, 1861,
led a division and the center of the Union
lines at the capture of Fort Donelson, and
displayed such ability that his commission
of major general of volunteers followed on
March 21, 1862.
Participated in Battle of Shiloh.
The day before the battle of Shiloh Gen.
Wallace's division was placed on the north
side of Snake creek, on a road leading from
Savannah or Crumps Landing to Purdy. He
was ordered by Gen. Grant, on the morning
of April 6 (the first day of the battle), to
cross the creek and come up to Gen. Wil
lIam T. Sherman's right, which covered the
bridge over that stream, that general de
pending on him for support: but he lost his
way, and did not arrive until the night. He
rendered efficient service in the second day's
fight, and in the subsequent advance on
Corinth.
In November, 1862, he was president of
the court of inquiry on the military conduct
of Gen. Don Carlos Buell in the operations
in Tennessee and Kentucky. In 1863 he
prepared the defenses of Cincinnati, which
he saved from capture by Gen. Edmund
Kirby Smith. and was subsequently assign
ed to the command of the middle depart
ment and the 8th Army Corps, with head
quarters in Baltimore, Md.
Fought at Monocacy.
With 5,800 men. Gen. Wallace intercepted
the march of Gen. Jubal A. Early, with
2800 men, on Washington, D. C., and on
July 6. 1864, fought the battle of the Mo
nocacy. . Although he was defeated, he
gained suffieient time to enable Gen. Grant
to se'nd re-enforcements to the capital from
City Point. By order of Gen. Henry W.
Halleck, he was rernoved from his com
mand. and superseded by Gen. Edward 0.
C. Ord; but when Gen. Grant learned tbe
particulars of the action he immediately
reinstated Wallace, and in his official re
port in 1865 says:
"On July 6 the enemy (Early) occupied
Hagerstown, moving a strong column to
ward Frederick City. Gen. Wallace, with
Rickett's division and his own command.
the latter new and mostly undisciplined
troops, pushed out from Baltimore with
great promptness, and met the enemy in
force on the Monocacy, near the crossing
of the railroad bridges. His force was
not sufficient to insure success, but he
fought the enemy, nevertheless, and, al
though it resulted in a defeat to our arms,
yet be detained the enemy, and thereby
served to enable Wright to reach Wash
ington before him."'
Member of Notable Courts.
Returning to his command, Gen. Wallace
was second member of the court That tried
the assassins of President Lincoln, and
president of that which tried and convicted
Capt. Henry Wirs, commandant of Ander
sonville prison.
Gen. Wallace was mustered out of the
volunteer service in 1855, returned to the
practice of law in Crawfordsville, was gov
ernor of Utah in 1878-'81, ant in 1881 be
came United States minister to Turkey,
serving until 1885. when he again resumed
practice in Crawfordsville. He has lectur
ed extensively in this country, and was the
author of other successful novels besides
"Ben-Hur,"' one being entitled- "The Fair
God," a story of the conquest of Mexico.
Of "Ben-Hur" over 300,000 copies were sold.
He wrote also a "Life of Benjamin Harrl
son"~ and "The Boyhood of Christ."
Gen. Wallace was married to Susan Ar
nold Elaton, an authoress, born in Craw
fordsville in 1830, in 1852.
DR3ATrING THE NAVAL BILL.
The Measure Taken Up by the Eouse
for Amemmmt.
In the House debate on the naval appro
priation bill yesterday afternoon Mr. But
ler (Pa.) upheld the proposed increase in
the number of battle ships, saying until all
selInshness had disappeared men would
strike and couintries would strike. The
Spaniards. he said, did not dream such men
as Captain Clark and Engineer tmyllgn of
the Oregon lived. He then detailed the
story of the trip of that vessel around the
Horn and her part in the battle of Santiago,
and said that in the hurry of business Cen
gress had forgotten a duty it owed to those
two men.
Mr. Butler, turning to the subjet of the
Philippine., eticited demwoatio aisea
when he said he hoped thewe b~ e
found some ansb wbl st id of
them. He advised thisumn t eep

the present naval esta..shoent was Outh
that be believed no nation in the Wodd
would attack tlis cevSItr dtels insulted t0
the last degree. Incidentally he charged
that the United States steet--coeOratid
was furnishing stee tw bgid up the British
and other navies at about one-third thU
cost fo the United Mateoe -
Er. Cockran (W. T.) opposed the idea of
a large standing army or a big navy.
Ref to the Venezuelan dpute witi
Hagland. . Cockran declar that the
greatest triumph ever won in -the history of
the UVnIted Stateo was "when Secretary
Olney wrote' a dispatch affecting the
greatest power in ...e world," when the
navy was about one-fifth Its present size.
Mr. Cockran discounted the efficiency o
battle ships against each other in the op
erations around Port Arthur, and asserted
that it was the mines placed in position bY
row boats that laid low vessels of that
kind.
Mr. Douglass (N. Y.) made a plea for
more liberal treatment of the consular serv
ice.
Mr. Slayden (Texas) opposed the pro
posed increase in the naval establishment
by two battle ships.
The bill then was read for amendment.
The House voted down an amendment
offered by Mr. Rixey (Va.). striking out the
proposed increase of three thousand men
for the navy, although on a point of order
by him the provision permitting their im
mediate enlistment was stricken out.
After several amendments of a minor na
ture had been voted down, the bill was
laid aside.
Following the presentation of the confer
ence report on the omnibus claims- bill, the
House at 5:10 p.m. adjourned until today
at 11 o'clock a.m.
The New -Snow Regulation.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The Commissioners' new snow-removal
regulation has all the vicious features of
any importance embraced in the act of
Congress of May 24. 1904. which was in the
McGuire case declared null and void by the
Court of Appeals. It is, in fact, a sub
stantial transcript of the first section of
this act, as will appear at once by com
paring them. .
I might add further reasons than thost
stated by the Court of Appeals-for holding
the act and regulation unconstitutional and
voidable. They attempt to force free-born
citizens, under pains of penalties, to invol
untary servitude. They make them mere
peons. to do scavenger work upon property
not belonging to them, but -to the govern
ment or municipality.
For it must be remembered that in this
city property owners do not own to the
center of the street. but the government
owns streets, sidewalks and terrace. It
they owned the sidewalks they might pos
sibly be forced to remove snow and Ice
from them as nuisances.
Because snow falls and lies upon the
sidewalk opposite the lot of a citizen make.
it no more legally incumbent upon him t
remove it than it does to remove the snow
from other parts of government property.
If one falls and is injured by slipping con
ice or snow on the sidewalk lie has no
right of action against the owner of the
adjacent premises, but must resort to the
municipality or government.
There is not only the most gross and
glaring inequality in the tax imposed. but
also an inequality in the benefits to be con
ferred.
The owner or occupant of the premises
bears the whole burden, and only shares
the benefit with the thousands who con
tribute nothing. In cases of vacant lots
the owner would get no benefit whatever.
Is it not startling that in view of this ad
judication of the highest tribunal In the
District that the Commissioners should at
tempt to enact substantially the same law?
But, as before said, the regulation Was
drawn up by the district attorney and only
"approved" by the Commissioners.
Without some explanation would it not
appear to be contempt of court? An act
also of usurpation and rebellion? It is cer
tainly the most drastic exercise of legisla
tion. It provided for the fining and im
prisonment of free citizens guilty of no of
fense save only the omitting to obey the
bidding of their masters. As well might
they be sent to the chain gang -at once and
dressed and clothed in stripes, and then
forced to do this scavenger work.
That sidewalks, as well as gutters and
streets, should be cleared of snow and ice
whenever practicable is evident. But how
shall it be done? Most unquestionably in
the most business-like and inexpensive way
-by similar provisions as those now hp
plied to clean the streets. The work could
be done systematically and efficiently by
the same forces now employed to sweep
and clean the streets, with 'comparatively
little added cost. Absence or sickness or
ir.ability-In the case of women and minors
would often leave the work undone, or im
perfect, under the proposed force system.
If the Commissioners would forego the
asking for money for superfluous purposes,
on matters of questionable importance, and
ask Congress to increase the appropriation
for cleaning the streets, and have it apply
also to sidewalks, it would undoubtedly be
granted by Congress. as has been done to
clear gutters and crosswal1ks.
This method of doing the business would
certaflmr be less uncivilized and barbarous
and mor-e business-like than that contem
plated by the Commissioners, and would
leave the police free from the uncongenial
work of harassing the citizens, and haling
them down to the Police Court, and there
dancing attendance to give evidence in each
case, and would leave them free to dis'
charge their more congenial and proper
duties as detectives of real criminals anc
to act as guardians of the public peace.
Since writing the above I see that ex
Senator Henderson has written the Coin
missioners taking substantially the samet
view of the duty of-'city and government
to keep sidewalks clear from ice and snow
as by me expressed. And that his position
Is approved by Commissioner Macfarland.
I differ with him only in the mode of rais
Ing of the money to do the work. It should
come under the general appropriation to
clean streets, as before stafed. Matters o1
much less necessity than keeping the side'
walks clear from Ice and snow might be
knocked off, and there would le plenty of
money from the general tax to defray the
expenses. R. L. B. CLARKE.
Cold Shuts Down Coal Mins.
A dispatch from Wilkesparre, Pa.,* says:
Owing to the cold weather, which retards
the movntent of freight, several of the largc
mining companies in this region, among
them the Lehigh Valley Coal Company,
have been compelled to suspend operations
for the rest of this week. . Great difficulty
Is being experienced in moving the coal
cars to ports and in getting cars hack to
collieries, and the daily shipments have be
come so small that the beat way out was
to shut down for three days, when sufficient
cars could be secured to keep the collieries
runqing at their full capacity for a time.
