"This char Is managed just as a large
mercantile establtehme&t would bo," said Itev.
Ir. Newman, in speaking of hte charge, the
I'irst CongregtitioBal Charcti, corner of G aad
Tenth street northwest. "The trustees are
H' 'st carefal In their management of affairs.
Tu-y hold monthiy meerioRS, everything goes
through their hands nod is examined just the
f ..u;Rbana:eountoiany kind would be iabusi

" e weretbe first church to be thrown open to
the Ha'.vatiou Army, aad most large religions
Catherine are held inside oar wails. We wel
i. une all, aad the more they come the more
welcome taey are."
Dr. Kewmaa is flDishiag his tenth year
cs jastor of this church, and if the affection
vi Die large congregation were the only
r juisite many more tea years would roll
;iruund aad nod him still occupying the pul
pit. ' He is just home from his three months'
ucation, and is rested and eager for the
Winter's work. He lately joined the Maine
Ae-ociatioa, just lormed in this city, and this
- iuo! that be comes from that tar Northern
M.". At fifteen years of age he was a suc-re-blul
school teacher, and in 1867 he grad
uated from bowdoin College with the lirst
ignore of his class. Tour years inter he had
:)u:hed lu course at Andover and was called
to Broadway Church, Tautau, Mass. For
i-eva yearn be wee pastor of this church, and
during part of the time served as a member
of the board of education of Tauten. In 1B73
lie was called to the pastorate of the college
ciurch of fiipon, Mis., and served there
-even years. Daring the last two years be
was professor of mathematics in the college.
In 1H85 he was installed as pastor of the
Xiksc Congregational Church of this city.
iLren vcarsago his health failed, and the
'liuTch came near losing him; but an assist
ant pastor and an annual vacation of three
I'.ontns were given to him. and be was able
to remain. At this time, too, the presidency
ut Marietta College, Marietta, Ohio, was
tendered him, but he felt it his doty to re
lutan here.
THE 8TBCOGLES OF THE CHOBCH.
The church of which he is the pastor has
Lad a varied and stormy existence. Back in
1S47 a Congregational church was estab
l.shed here. It was founded on anti-slavery
r nnciples, and claims the honor of being the
I r-t churm established in the South on such
& loundotiou. It is a rematkable coincidence
luat the present site of the church is the last
T nee of olave-operated land sold in Washiug
t n, and that it was sold to the first otiurca
xl. the South baring an anti-slavery govern
1.. ont. The church of 1847 lasted only a short
time, and the second attempt was made in
1-3.2. The church managed to exist until
13,", and tbea the doors were closed.
In 1865 the third attempt was made and
the result is the congregation of to-day.
i. ,. Charles H. Boyatou was its pastor, lie
v us installed October 4. 18u6, the day upon
w : 1 1 -h the corner-stone was hud. During his
jasiorate the congregation worshipped in
t.x' old building, now the police court, at the
c rner of Sixth and D streets. Then it wor-;-
up pod in a iittle hall on Pennsylvania
avenue, and after that in the structure now
i.uowa as the Columbia Law Building, on
I I ft h street.
While services were being held here Dr.
Eoyi.ton was elected chaplain of the House.
and shortly after this the hall of the House of
Ji -rirreentatives was secured as a place for
f- ,uaiy worship. As a consequence the First
( ungregaticnal Church, of Washington, was
the first and only established church to hold
rvguiar services in t.t Capitol. It was cus
t .aiary in those days to refer to this body as
t.iO "Congressional Church." The congrega
tion also claims the honor of inaugurating
tlif movement which led to Thanksgiving
liar as a yearly occurrence. In 1865 a com
mittee from the church called on President
Anlrew Jonusou and requested him to set
a: 'art a day in eah year as a day of thanks
giving and prayer. This request was com
l ied with. Dr. Boynton condnaed as pastor
uf the church until May 1. 1869. When he
ifft 101 members took letters of dismissal
with the purpose of forming the Central Con
gregational Church.
Rev. J. E. Rankin, D. D., became pastor of
tLe church October 3, 1869, and remained un
til June 13, 1881, when he became president
of Howard University. The prosperity of the
c hureh is largely due to the efforts of Dr.
Lank in. Wneu be assumed charge the or
ganization was on the brink of ruin. The
church had a membership of 103 and a debt
of n arly $70,000. with interest at 10 per ceur.
Ho lea hi6 congregation for nearly fifteen
j i ars, and placed it on a sure and successful
l asis. Dr. Newman added to the success, and
thu church is now free from debt. In addi
tion a magnificent organ costing $12,000 has
lun purchased and paid for. Besides lifting
thm debt, about 880,000 has been contributed
and expended through the various missionary
n"d benevolent societies for charitable ob
jects. TEE WOKEEBS.
The church to-day has about 1,000 mem
bers and the growth is steady. Its large audi
cn "".. .i is filled each Sunday aad overv
r'T made a worker. Dr. Newman oc-cup'-tkpalptt
nearly every Sunday of the
xmi" n J Ths he spends in the city, though he
at t '! - ermits Rev. 1L Boss Fishburn to
p-ea .' . ?Ir. Fishburn occupies the pulpit
v. ith i 'i . Newman each Sunday and leads in
t' c r- ,t r part of the devotional services.
y-. rwi-Ourn has entire charge of theThurs
c'.i i eu.jig meetings, and assists in all the
vir of tne parish. He is now away on bis
af'.t'on, and has received a calf to the
T borate of the Mount Pleasant Church. If
1, accepts be will begin his duties in his new
a -ge about November 1, aad the First Con
reg itioual Church will took for a new m-e;-tant
pastor.

The church has a met practical method of
bcetowini; Charity. It really aids instead of
giving, though it does give when necessary.
The relief committee luv plenty of work to
do, and is composed of J. W. Browning, H.
M. Kintz. Fred L. Fallback. J. F. Johnson,
Mrs. K. M. Xowmon. Mis Alico H. Peabody,
and Mrs. A. S. Caywood. The church aids
all who come to it. It has found opportunity
to help men to positions on tho cable lines,
advancing the money with which they must
buy the neeessary uniforms. One man is now
paying back '30 so advanced and has handed
in 16 of the amount. This money is immedi
ately turned over to some one olso nnd so tho
work goes on. Tho communion fund of the
church is used by the relief committco after
the expenses of the church aro mot. Poor
members are aided and there havo been quite
a number needing help during tho last year
The library and reading room are popular
features of the church. They are open each
day from 7 to 9:30 p m. They aro filled with
standard works anoVall the best papers. The
business office of the society is in tho reading
room. Tho secretary. Miss" Katharlno Lam

In addition to his other duties, and they aro
many and varied. Dr. Newman has just or
ganized a reading circle. Tho work this
winter will be chiofly in English history and
literature.
The Congregational Club, which meets
Monday nights, is another interesting feature
of Dr. Newman's work. It is often addressed
by Justice Brewer, of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and all of its meetings aro
of tbe highest order. By using all these
means Dr. Newman can feci that the crowth
of his church is sure and that tho fact that tho
church is never without a pastor must bring
its reward.
THE YOUNGER YVOUKERS.

A YOJAAH HATER..
Ho Had Reason to Repent Asking a Ques
tion About Eve.
There is a crusty old bachelor on Fourth
Street who is a confirmed woman hater and
who never misses an opportunity for saying
something sarcastic nnd disagreeable about
tho fair sex. But he met more than his match
tho other day in a plucky little woman, who
metaphorically speaking, wiped up tho earth
with him, much to tho delight of his friends,
who wero greatly amused at his discom
fiture, says tho Louisvillo Post.
Tno oid bachelor inquired why. when Evo
wa3 manufactured of a sparo rib, a servant
wasn't made at tho same time to wait on her.
The littlo woman responded promptly: ''Be
cause Adam never read tho newspapers until
the sun got down behind tho palm trees and
then, strotchinn, yawned out: 'Isn't supper
most ready, my dear?' Not he. Ho maao tho
first lire and hung tho kettlo over it himself.
I'll venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled
the potatoes, and did everything olse ho ought
to do.
"Ho chopped tho kindling, brought in tho
coal and did tho chores himself, and ho novor
brought home half a dozen friends to dinner
when Evo hadn't any fresh pomograuntes."
Tho little woman stopped a moment for
breath and went on with renewed vigor:
'And Adam never stayed out till 12 o'clock at
a political meeting, hurrahing for some caudi
date and then scolding because poor Evo wo3
sitting up and crying insido the gates. Ho
never played billiards, rolled tenpins nnd
drove fast horse3, nor choked Evo with cigar
smoke.
"Ho aover loafed around tho corner gro
ceries and saloons while Evo w.03 rocking lit
tle Cain's cradlo at home. In short, he didn't
think sho was ospecially created for tho pur
poso of waiting on him, nnd wasn't under tho
impression that it disgraced a man to lighten
the wifo's cares a little. That's the reason Evo
didn't need a hired girl and with it is tho rea
son that her descendants do."
She drew another breath and was about to
continue, when tho bachelor pulled his hat
down over his eyes and sneaked away amid
tho laughter of tho crowd.
SHE HAD CANADIAN MONEY.
The Ticket Agent Acted on Business Prin
ciples and She Smiled.
A young woman appeared early tho other
morning at ono of the Grand Central ticket
windows and asked the ticket man to givo her
United States money for 620 in Canadian bills,
says tho New York Sun. Ho smilingly de
clined on tho ground that it was contrary to
orders, but as tho bank was not yet open ho
loaned her 3, taking ono of her Canadian
bills as collateral. Tho young woman ap
peared an hour later, after having break
fasted and done somo shopping and said:
"If you'll givo mo that Canadian bill I'll
take it and my other Canadian money over
to tho bank and get it oxchanced."
"Aro you going to givo mo S5 in placo of
it?" asked tho ticket man.
"No," was tho simple answor. "I'vo spent
the S3 you loaned mo, and if 3'ou don't givo
me tho Canadian bill I left witn you I'll havo
to make two trips to the bank to got my mo
ney changed."
Tho young woman looked perfectly honest
and tho ticket man beliovod her to bo. but
then herSchemo would have been so boautlful
a little confidence game that ho felt sure
should it turn out such ho would not only
lose his 5, but be covered with ridiculo, for
no man could resist telling such a tale even of
himself. So ho looked grave and said ho was
afraid tho young wemau would have to mako
two trips to the bank. Sho smiled in a sort of
bewildered way at this, but hastened oil and
camo back in ten minutes with a new, crisp
5 United States note. Tho ticket man fore
boro to examine it too carefully as sho handed
it in with a smile and dimple, and as she do
parted again to tho bank with her $5 Can
adian bill ho looked sorry that he hadn't
trusted her.

Society Calls a Spade a Spado.
It has been said, with the usual injustice of
the "smart" saying, that one-half of society
is flippant and tho other half morbid. Of
course, this is not lru- bat there is a partial
truth in it. It may at least be said that thero
is quite too much frankness in society that
a spade is too often called a spado, and in a
way which brings a shudder to ono who has
presorved somo faith in tho traditions of gra
cious and stately ladyhood. Perhaps ono
may look for something better soon, for thero
is a rumor that tho "fad" of tho coming sea
son is to bo "good manners." Now York

Women of all ranks nnd positions took part
in tho lato civil war, not only as spies, but
also as private soldiers nnd holding honor
ary commissions. It is difficult to say whether
tholr motives wero like those of Joan of Arc
tho salvation of their country or merely lovo
of excitement. But it ia"nstouIshing to find,
in talking with ex-officers, how many of tho
other sex did sharo tho hardships of battlo,
somo oponly confessing taolr box, others dis
guised as men.
Every ono knows of Belle Boyd, tho fatnons

Brig. Gen. Bakor, of tho secrot serrico dur
ing tho civil war, tells of tho work of a Mies
Ford, who was a devotod littlo rebol, and
lived at Fairfax Court Houso. Ilor fathor'o
homo wr.9 headquarters for the staff officers
of tho Union, and Bliss Ford was quite a
bollo among thorn, gho was, to nil purposes,
for tho Union, and tho officers beliovod in
her to tho extent o telling hor much of tho

wished to know. That night Mosby was en
abled through Miss Ford's information to
mako tho attack upon Gen. Stoughton, carry
ing officers as prisoners, also valuable prop
erty, and capturing 100 fine horses. It wa3
this affair which called forth Lincoln's well
known remark thnt "it was a great pity ho
could mako brigadier generals, but couldn't
mako horses."
A WOIIAN TO CATCn A WOMAK
Tho truo circumstances nnd modo of at
tack, the accurato information in possession
of tho Confederate leader, all pointed unmis
takably to the existence of a spy within tho
lines, bo a woman was sent to meet a woman.
Ono of tho female detectives of tho secret
servico went to Miss Ford, represented her
self as a Southern woman, asking protection
to rench tho Confederate lines, nnd tho two
women bec&mo friends. In a burst of confi
dence Miss Ford showod iho detective tho
sealed commission of aide-de-camp, which sho
kept between her mattresses. Sho was ar
rested and sent to Old Capitol prison.
There was another distinguished fomalo
captive at this prison at the same time, and
sho was a Southerner. Disguised in soldiers'
clothes, sho had entered too far into tho
lines, nnd was arrested for a spy. In telling
of her Maj. Gen. Townsend says: "She had
no friends in tho city to supply her with ap
propriate clothing. It was at Inst reported
to mo that, being greatly mortified regarding
her raiment, she stayed in bed all tho time
rather than appear in it after her sex had been
detected. I mentioned her dilemma to that
most worthy, true-hearted Presbyterian
divine, Dr. John C. Smith, nnd suggested that
his wifo might bo disposed to visit the little
prisoner nnd provide hor with femalo apparel.
"Somo timo after tho doctor told me that
Mrs. Smith went to seo her. and found tho
young woman in bed. But it transpired that
in tho course of tho interview the little soldier
expressed to Mrs. Smith so emphatically her
opinion of 'Yankees' and all their doings, that
tho clergyman's wifo grow indignant, and left,
declnring tho woman soldier might remain in
bod forover, or wear her malo garb until it
dropped off, before sho would help her out."
So tho brigadier-general nnd tho Presbyterian
minister stood helpless between tho two
women's temper.
a ruxsoiiENAL oedehly sehgeaxt.
Many women thero wore who shouldered
tho musket, rodo until they dropped, and
stood fire like a man. With dozens of these
their sex was not discovered until thoy wcro
carried into tho surgeou's tent wounded. Ono
of tho uniquo announcements of such a caso
of mistaken identity was posted in tho head-"
quarters of Gen. Bosecraus.
It explains itself:
HeadQuaeters, Department of the Cum
berland, April 17, 1863.
General: Tho general commanding directs
mo to call your attention to a flagrant out
rage committed in your command a young
person having been admitted insido' your
linos without a pass, and in violation of your
orders. Tho case is ono which calls for vour
personal attention, and tho general com
manding directs that you should deal with
tno offending party according to law.
The medical diroclor roports that nn or
derly sorgennt in Urigadier General
division was to-day delivered of a daughter,
wmen is in violation oi an military law and
tho Army regulations. No such caso has been
known since tho days of Jupiter.
Ono of tho women who distinguished her
self nobly in the soldiering of tbo Army was
Mrs. Annie Etheridge, of Wisconsin, who was
in tho second battlo of Bull Bun, and had
public recognition from Gen. Kearny of her
services. His death prevented her promotion.
Sho was oftnn under fire. An officer was onco
shot down by hor side, nnd onco whon a rebol
officer was captured Mrs. Etheridge escorted
him to tho rear by tho general's command. At
Spottsylvanln Hoights, whon tho soldiers
wero retrenling, she remonstrated with thoin
ana brought tliem back, altogether proving
herself a dnring soldier. Sho received a gov
ernment appointment after the war.
IN AN ILLINOIS HEOIMENT.
Mmo. Lurchin, another woman of high
birth, fought on tho Union side. She was
tho daughter of a Bussian officer, bo rn in a
Bussian camp, and was the wifo of Col. Lur
chin, of an Illinois regiment. During an ill
ness of her husband sho took command of tho
regiment and proved horsolf an intrepid
leader.
Neither did theso women go unrewarded.
Thoro was Major Paulino Cushman, who, un
like Mmo. Lurchin and Mrs. Etheridge, woro
military trousers as well as coat. Miss Cush
man was n renutiful nnd well-known actress
when the war broke out. At tho commence
ment of hostilities sho was playing in Louis
villo, nnd incurring tho suspicion of being a
secessionist, she wns arrested by Federal
authorities. To test hor sho was nskod if sho
would enter tho secret servico of tho govern
ment. Sho consented nnd was nt onco em
ployed to carry letters botweon Louisviilo and
Nashville.
Miss Cushman was omployed by Gen. Boso
orans. and was for months with the Cumber
land Army. Major Cushman know every road
and evory houso for miles, was tho most dar
ing of scouts and intrepid of fighters. Sho
visited the Conredernto lines timo after time.
Twice sho was suspected of being a spy and
arrested, but both times she oscapedby "keen
est strategy.
Onco Miss Cushman was sent as scout to
ward Shelbyvlllo from Nashville, which was
held by Union forces, to ascertain tho strength
of tho enomy. Boturniug sho ra's captured,
placed on a horso in charge of two scouts and
taken to Forrest's headqnartcrs. Baffled for
awhile, sho rodo on, but nt last feigned sick
ness nnd snid she w:is unablo to rido further.
Stopping at a house, Miss Cushman found
that Federal scouts had passed that way an
hour before.
Calling an old negro to her, sho put Eomo
money Into his hand, told him to go down
tho road and eomo back screaming. "Tho
Yankees aro coming!" no did ns sho di
rected, and. although tho Southern soldiers
rofiibod to beliovo him at first, no net"d his
part so wolt thoy finally mado off to hiding,
leaving Miss Cushman nlone. Sho escaped,
but found it was necessary to pas3 the Con
,fcdornto pickets. To the first four, when
hnltod, she gave tho countersign a ennteon
of whisky but the fifth was" more inauisitivo
nnd sho was turned back. Sho reached Bose
crans finally, but was in the end arrested.
A GALLANT OFTICEIt.
Capt. Taylor was another titled woman sol
dier that Gen. Kirklnnd tells of. She was
Miss Sarah Taylor, stepdaughter of Capt.
Dowdun, and joined the First Tennessee. Sho
was only olghtoen vhen sho entered tho
Army, andthrough tho wholo war was tho
idol of tho Tennossoo boys. Sho wore tho
regulation sword and silver mounted pistols,
MAT PAULINE CCSH1TAN.
wa3 an expert swordswoman,asuro shot with
pistol, and could rido like an Arab. Wnen
tho order wa3 given to re-enforce Capt. Gar
rard, Cant. Taylor galloped, cap in hand,
along tho line, cheeringthe men, and marched
in the van with them. They considered her
as a mascot.
Mrs. Beynolds, wife of Lieut. Beynolds,
Company A, Seventeenth Illinois, was" mado
an honoray major by Gov. Yates, of Illinois,
for "meritorious conduct on tho bloody battle
field of Pittsburg Landing."
In the prison at Atlanta, Ga., a young wo
man was discovered disguibed as "n toldier.
Sho was Miss Hook, of Chicago, known in tho
Nineteenth Illinois as Frank Miller. She was
shot through tho leg and taken prisoner. It
was said that Jeff Davis wrote to her, offering
her a lieutenancy if sho would enlist on the
Southern side. She refused and was finally
exchanged.
Gen. Kirkland also tolls of a cose of mono
mnnin occurring in a young woman of
Brooklyn, only nineteen years of age. She
became possessed with the idea that sho was
n modern Joan of Arc to lead tbo Union
nrmies to victory. Sho was carried every
where by her family to cure her, but sho
mado her escape from Ann Arbor. Mich.,
went to Detroit, where sho enlisted in a drum
corps of n Michigan regiment, and finally
succeeded in gettitig to tho Army of the Cum
berland. How sho survived the'hardships of
tho Kentucky campaign is a wonder, for sho
went through it all. deluacd as sho was.
During the bartlo ot Lookout Mountain she
was shot in tho loft side, and her sex was
discovered when she was dying in tho sur
geon's tent. Sho was 6uried on tho field.
These aro only a few of tho most notablo
instances of woman warriors in tho late war,
but all officers unite in saying that there were
dozens of privates who served with bravery
equal to the men, and many whoso sex was
not discovered until tho war wns ending.

HE SAW DAYY CROCKETT DIE!
Thrilling Experience of Capt. Schilling
at the Alamo Massacre.
NOW A RESIDENT OP THIS CITY
As Commander of a Company of Texa3 Eangcr3
Ho "Releases" Man7 Mexican Prisoners
For All Eternity Confined in an Under
ground Dungeon and Terribly maltreated.
"Bemembcr the Alamo!"
It was with this ba:tlo cry on their lips that
tho bravo soldiera of tho young republic ot
Texas rushed into the fray after tho awful
massacre at the old mission building, known
us "tho Alamo," and many a swarthy Mexi
enn wont to his dentil with the words ringing
in his cars, "Bemembor the Alamo!" The ter
rible vengeance of tho Tcxans on the soldiers
of Santa Anna, to repay thorn in a measure
for slaughtering without mercy the gallant
defenders of the old Alamo structure, is a fa
miliar and thrilling chapter ot American his
tory nnd doos not therefore require reproduc
tion in The Times.
There is ono man in Washington who has
good reason to "remember the Alamo."
That man is Capt. Louis Charles Schilling,
who resides with his wife nnd children at No.
1215 E street northwest. Tho Captain claims,
nnd proudly, too. to be tho only living sur
vivor of tho fateful massacre, in which brave
Davy Crockett nnd bis feilow patriots gave
up their lives in the cause of huii.aa freedom.
At tho time of the siege and massacre at the
Alamo, Schilling was a baby boy of five
years, but the awful scenes enacted there
mndo an impression on his young mind wbieh
will bo as lasting as life itself.
Ho saw tho gallant Texans as they fell, ono
by one, before the murderous lire of" the Mex
icans, and crouching in a corner he witnessed
tho Texas rillemen as they emptied their long
guns full in the faco of Santa Anna's yelling
host.
As tho Mexicans surged Into the mission
building, a wounded Texan seized little
Schilling and forced him into an old-fashioned
bacon box, where he remained con
ceded during all the carnage and pillage that
followed their entry. He saw noble Davy
Crockett fall, Jjfter ha had heaped the place
about him witn dead and wounded Mexican
soldiers, and also witnessed tho killing of his
own relatives, sturdy Germans, who wero
among tho earliest white settlers of Texas.
Young Schilling remained undiscovered in
the bacon box until he was rescued by tho
Toxan reinforcements, who had been" hurry
ing to the relief of tho beleaguered garn&on.
Ho was then taken to a place ofsafety and
remained as a charge cf the Lone Star State
until ho reached man's estate.
As a momento of his escape and experience,
tho State of Texas ha3 presented him with a
handsome medal, which he wears proudly on
his watch chain. In addition to a Latin in
scription it bears tho words: "Survivor of the
Alamo. Presented by tho State of Texas."
On the front and reverse of the medal appear
two views of tho old Alamo building.
HE BECOMES AN AVENGES.
. When Capt. Schilling reached tho ago of
twenty !irs. ho enlisted in tho Texas Bang
ers, and was soon placed in command of a
company operating along the Rio Grande. As
leador of these wild riders he saw an oppor
tunity of avenging the deaths of his relatives,
whoso lives wero taken by Mexicans at the
Alamo.
"1 was sworn," said Capt. Schilling to a
Times' reporter, "to either take Mexican
marauders along the Bio Grande prisoners or
elso roleaso them, as my judgment micht dic
tate, nnd I am frank to say that during my
service with tho Bangers I was instrumental
in having not less tbun five hundred "greas
ers' released. I had a rather peculiar way of
releasing my Mexican prisoners, but i: was an
effective way, and tney never bothered U3
any moroif ler being released."
"How did I release them? Why, when the
boys would bring one, two or three 'greasers
before me and say: 'Captain, we found these
fellows trying to steal cattle,' or engaged in
any other sort of mischief, I would tell them
that tho jail at Brownsville, or somewhere
else, was fall of prisoners and we had no room
for tho rascals. Then I would instruc: them
to tako tho prisoners to a piece of woods or
cbnpparal and 'release them, aa my sworn
orders called for either release or incarcera
tion. Tho boys would then lead the Mexi
cans away to cover, out of my sight, aad in a
few minutes a volley of rifle shots would in
form mo that my orders had been obeyed and
the Mexicans 'released. "
Cnpt. Schilling kept a record ot tho num
ber of "greasers" he had released, and he
does not think the numter will fall far short
of 500. Tho captain's name scon became a
terror to Mexican marauders along tho
muddy Rio Grande, and they fought shy ot
his particular company of rangers for fear
that they might some day come in for ono of
Capt. Schilling's fatal releases.
A year or two after his retirement from the
rangers, owing to a severe attack of rheuma
tism he had contracted as a result of exposure
and hardship on the frontier, tho captain
camo near losing his life in an underground
Mexican dungeon. Tho Mexicans had such a
hatred for tho "devil captain." as they were
wont to call him. that when he was advised
to seek relief for his ailment at tho Hot
Springs of Mexico, he went thero in disguise.
While returning towards Texas, a few months
later, he was recognized by a Mexican as ho
waspassingthrough a small town near the Rio
Grande. The man who discovered his identity
nt onco notified some companions and Cnpt.
Schilling was wnylnid nnd shot through tho
thigh. Ho was then seized by Mexican offl
cera and hurried off to prison. Tho men
who shot Schilling entered the false charge
of ns3nult nnd battery with intent to kill
against him. Without even a preliminary
hearing tho captain was thrust into an un
derground dungeon and kopt there for over
threo months. Tho soldiers who arrested him
stolo nil his mouey, something liko $1,500.
and subjected him tcthe grossest indignities.
LEFT TO STAItVE AND DIE ALONE.
Onco in tho dungeon, ho was left to soli
tude and sem-idnrkness. No food was fur
nished him by tho brutal jailors, and had it not
been for an old Mexican woman who secretly
gave aim a few tortillas (Mexican core cakes)
every day nnd tho little burro mules who
camo to the pit entrance and dropped a few
gr:iins of corn from their mouths a3 they
munched their noon-day meal. Schilling
would hnvo starved to death, as it was tho
purpose of tho Mexicans that ho should.
Whenever ho asked for water to drink the
inhuman jailor bnnded him a jar of slop
water that a hog would havo refused to
touch.
"So lonely was I in that underground
prison," snid tho captain, "that I welcomed
oven the companionship of tho little houso
flies thnt buzzed about my dunseon door."
Cnpt. Shilling finally feigned insanity and
mnnaged to get a note, written in German, to
nn ox-German consul who resided in tho
town. Tho Mexicans, believing that ho had
become a madman from starvation and other
abuses to which he was subjected, said:
"Oh, tho 'devil captain is crazy now. He
cannot do us any more harm."
Accordingly the German ex-consul, who
understood Schilling's scheme, secured his re
lease and escorted him across the Bio Grande
to tho free air of Texas.
On account of thee indignities the Captain
now has an indemnity bill against the Mexi
can government pending before Congress.
