Its Services During the Civil War An O1d Timer's Recollections— Races Between Steamboats and Telegraphy in St. Louis, st, Louls, Post. el The rotunda of the Laclede hotel was filled this morning to overflowing with old-time telegraphers. No one ia eligi- ble to membership in this organization whose acquaintance with the wires does not extend back of the troublous times when the civil war was at its height. None of the old timers are young men, but many of them are in the prime of life, and others have reached the half-way station and their hoary heads and bent forms indicate that they are going down the hill on the other side, and the hands that once deftly manipulated the keys aro too atiff and feeble to keop pace with =2 | the vigorous young men who are taking their _places. There are two distinct organizations represented in tho city, the United States Military Telegraph Corps, which is the smaller body, are members of the Old Time association, and their banquets and programme of ontertainment are common, but the business meetings are distinct, the Old Timers meeting to-day and the military operators to-morrow. The members of the two socioties spent the morning re newing acquaintan and DISCUSSING REMINISCENCES of early times in the telegraphing busi- ness, THE PRESIDENT OF TIE CORP is Mr. Wm. R. Plum, who is at present an attorney in Chicago, but who was identified with the military service during the war, e has written a history of the work of telegraph operators during the war, and of the first organization of the corps, and probably has taken more in- terest than any one else in the labors for rocognition of the corps by the federal government. In a chat with a Post-Dis- patch reporter Mr. Plum gave a sketch of the work of the corps. Before the late war there had been but little use of a telegraphic service of the war,and none in this country, although the telegraph was used with eflect by Gormany, En- gland and France to some extent and in a desultory manner. It remained for Amecrican operators to form the first or- ganizod corps,and to prove that a regular trained branch was absolutely essential colve the largest numberof our > bizs prior to Dee. 1, the twenty-five successful co testants.

The first man to suggest and put in operation a plan to make use of the wires in active servico was Thomas Scott, the assistant secretary of war un- der Cameron, and the president of the Pennsylvania railroad. At the breaking out of hostilities he called to Washingtcn five of the most skillful operators on his road which formed the nucleus of what aftorwards becamo tho telegraphic corps of tho federal army. ABOUT THE SAME TIME Gen. John C. Fremont, who was sta- tioned in St. Louis, called to his aid Georgo H. Smith, superintendent of tho wires here, and directed him to form the basis of a military telographic battalion, Several companies were cnlisted and reg- ularly drilled and these companios built tho carliest military lines and clty lines At this timo, also, Anson Stoger, superintendent of the Western Union at Cloveland, was made superincendent for military pur- poses of all the lines in Ohio, [ndiana and Tllinois and in thoso parts of Keu- nucky and West Virginia comprised in the military division of Gien. McClellan, When it was soon afterwards found neconsary to have ono head, Mr. Stager was called to Washington and was placed at the head of the telegraphic war servico, This was in November, 1861 Ho romained in chargo throughout the |} war and was commissioned & brigadier- general at its close. No commissions were mado at first, but it was found necessary afterward and Gen. Stager was made captain, Later ho was commissioned colonel and his subordinates were com- missioned to the rank of captain or ma- jor. None but the ofticors had uny mili- tary status, the operators being retained on the civil list and retired at the close without recognition. There was in the service altogether an agaregate force of 1,200 operators and twice as many builders and repairers, who constructed and operated thousands of miles of tele- graph lines. IMPORTANCE OF THE Evory gonoral in the army has testi- fied to the value and brilliancy of the telegraphic service and to the patriotism and devotion of the men. As an illu- stration of the responsibility of thew Lmni ions it may be mentioned that the ceys of dispatch ciphers wero placed in the hands of the operators, and no one SERVICE, to the Lastitution.

One brilliant achlovoment of the corps was tho con struction and operation of lines in_battle, 80 that the different divisions could com- niunicato with each other during an en- gagoment. This was frequently done and lines were removed and put up with overy change of the army. The military telegraphers are almost as full of remin- 1scenses of danger and narrow escapes from shot and shell as the soldiers, Sev oral operators were killed at work and frequently in the building and repairing of lines lives were lost The organization of the corps was first broached in 1851, at a moeting of the old timers, and the first meeting was held in 1852, at Niagara Falls, with an attendance of fifteen members, The next meeting was held al Chicago last year and the membership now numbers 213 men, Since the organization of the corps ef- 'a*bock of & o prulhuied by it vy alndia caiarh Kl ity 1y i ik Fr B e fE R T T $1.000 Would Not Buv It. forts have made to obtain suitable recog- nition from the government as a regular arm of the military service, At the close of the war the operators, who had been a8 much in the military service as the soldiers, were dismissed without recogni- tion, At the last session of congress a bill was introduced for this purpose, and the society means to push the demand for the same rights and privileges as diers, 1t is asked that the operators lm recognized as officers with the rank cor responding with the pay, and the build- err and repairers as soldiers, The meet ing of the corps takes place to.morrow.

The pres- ident briefly welcomed the association, re viewing its progress from its formation at Cincinnali in 1880, up to the present The minutes of the last meeting were read and roved; after which J.

Clowry, Van Horn, New York; Compton of Nashville, Tenn. Col. Van Duzer, Michigan; J, D. Reid, E. C. Bush, F. M, Coleburn, and from other prominent telegraphers in various parts of the country. Vice-President Ed, Rosewater, of the Omaha Ber, delivered an eloquent ad- dress, reviewing the perilous service performed by pioneer operators in trans- porting the first wires across the Rockics and in serving at the army front with the fidelity of soldiers. He suggested that the old-time telegrapher be requested to furnish reminiscences in order that a his- tory of telegraphy could be written, and the chair added that specimens of old style apparatus ought to be procured. A committee consisting of Messrs. Plum, Taylor and Bunnell was appointed for the above prrposes. Mr. Plum, chairman of the committee on resoluiions, spoke feelingly of the death of O. H. Booth, of Mansfield, Ohio, George W. Trabue, of Neshville, Mo., and L. M. Painter, and resoiutions embodying the sentiment of tho socioty were adopted, and will be engrossed and forwarded to the families of the deceased. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year, DP’resident Chas, W. Hammond, St. Louis; Vice President, Chas. E. Taylor, Frankfort, Ky.; secre- tary and trersurer, S, B. Fairchild, St. Louls, Chicago; John Superintendent ON THE RIVER, In the afternoon hoth associations went down the river upon the Charles Morgan® The saloon was tastefully decorated for the occasion and therc were about 100 members of the association and their ds present. The hoat ran down the river as far as Sulphur Springs, where a large proportion of the party debarked and drank of the waters for “which the place is famous, The steamer left Sul- phur Springs shortly before 8 oclock, and as soon as it was under way, the guests sat down to what was reporied to be a sumptuous hanquet. The boat stopped at the harracks for up- wards of an hour to give the orators of the party an opportunity of enlarging up- on the marvellous achievements of the olectric telegraphy. The festivities were brought to a close by the singing of “Auld Lang Syne,” and the homeward journey was resumed. The city was reached at 1:30 o’clock this morning. St. Louis Republ The society of the United States Mili- tary Telegraph Corps met in annual re- union at 11:50 this morning in the ladies’ ordinary of the Laclede hotel, tho presi- dent, W.R.

Having called the meeting to order the chair made an address in which he said that they were a peculiar fraternity, and thelr corps was unique. Thelr sorvice was an era in war and the example of their work in the civil war had been copied since by the armies of Furopo. Several members of the corps had died since their last meetinn and there were many who were more dead from hard- ships endured in the service than alive, heing unablo to earn s living or to OBTAIN A PENSION, and it was the silence of the government on this subject, the manipulations of un- just discriminations as well as a longing to renew tho friendships of the days that tried men’s souls, which occasioned the organization. A bill had been framed and itroduced into the house for the re- iief of members of the service who had suffered in the war, and the speaker had prepared in support of it a reporc which showed that during the war twelve of the army telegraphors were killed, twenty- three died in the service,ten were wound- ed aud 164 captured, There was no doubt that many more than the number mentioned died in the sery and prob- ably 100 more were captured, maklng the losses of the corps $22, not counting deaths occurring out of the service in consequence of diseases contracted therein. A history Jof the hitherto unsuccessful effort to secure the passage of the bill was & veiy intereating l’"l of the chairman’s address. The bill stands on the calendar for the next sossion of congress, and it was hoped that sooner or later, perseverance would result in its passago, and themselves and thoir comrades, dead and living, recog- nized de jure, what, according to Gen. Sherman, they were de facto, a part of the army of the United States in the war of the rebellion, The following were elected members of the soclety: C. F. Bart, New Yorl J. E. Zeublin, Chicago; C. Culbertsol Tracy, lowa; E. Macklind, St. Louis; W. 'W. Smith, H. B. Hull, H..C. Sprague and Thomas Barwick, of Kansas City. Mr. Ed. Rosewater, chairman of the congressional committee having in hand the care of the bill in recognition of the services of the United States military tolegraph corps, REPORTED WHAT THEY HAD DONE, showing that they had met with many difficulties, but expressing a belief that they would still succeed in their object. On motion the present committee on congressional action, consistivg of E. Rosewater, W. R Plum, Wm. B, Wil- son and John O, Van Duzer, was re- elected, and they were authorized to draw upon the society for such money as they might require, such drafts to be looked after by the secrotary. On motion of Mr, Rosewater it was ro- solved to ask the members ot the society to contribute §1 each to the woik of helping on the congregss bill, On motion the annual assessments of the members were fixed at §1 each, Several letters of regret for absence were read, among them one from B, Morgan of Fort Scott, Kan,, inclosing the following from GENERAL U, 8. GRANT: Loxc Braxcu, N.

A committee was appointed to confer with the old time telegravhers’ assccia- tion to arrange for the place and date of the next meoting.

It is dark red brick of two stories and a man- sard roof, finished out with a tower and many corners. It has roomy porches at the front and side, giving shady seats and beautiful views at all hours of the day. The windows of the house, built on the French order, open like doors on to these porches, and their ceilings are of polished wood. The trimmings of the house are made of a remarkable stone, a (uantity of which underlies Mr. Sher- man's farm east of the city. That used by the senator comes trom a quarry on an adjacent estate. It is a reddish sand- stone, mottled and grained with many different colored veins. At some places it looks like a section of knotted, gnarly wood, and at others like the veins of a half-rotted stump carefully polished. The veins are of different widths and they wind and twist themselves around into all conceivable shapes. Now a number of them will run in parallel curves, now they twist themselves into as many rings as the snakes of Lacoon, and now they stand out in all, directions like the hair of the Medusa. Well trimmed and polished and cut into beautiful shapes their color matches well with the dark red of the house, and in front, where they show out prominently above the door and hold up the great porch, they form a finish more rich and beauti- ful than any stone that can be procured anywhere clse. The interior of the house, however, wil! be its chief feature. It has many rooms, and they are largo, airy and_high-ceiling- ed. The halls are so wide that a wagon- load of hay could be driven through them.* They run through the center of the house, and arranged with a sort of L at the back, so that every room on each floor opens into its respective hall. Thc carpenters were busy at work here severr days ago when I passed through the house in company with Senator Sherman, We went togother through the three stories, carefully stepping up the partial- Iy made stairs, stooping low as we moved around through the scaffolding, and going through a number of large-windowed rooms, giving a series of views which ex- tended far and wide over the rich farms and wooded hills of Richland county. The house itself is situated on some of the highest ground in the state of Ohio. It has a large lawn filled with shrubbery, a fino orchard and fields surrounding it, making up an estate of about fourteen acres, It fronts on Market street, the finest in Mansfield, and is well to the west of the city, Several of these win- dows overlook the city, and there are none of them but give beautiful country views as well, The large halls and easy staircases are finfshed in beautiful red-cherry, highly polished, and in places elezantly carved. Each of the rooms is tinished in a differ- ent kind of choico wood, and each of them contains a fir: lace and mantle trimmed in the same material. The din- ing-room for instance, is of a rich oak, with its sideboard to match. The kitch- en i finished in yellow pine of a beauti- ful grain aud hichly polished. The sit- ting-room, 1 think, is mottled or bird'c- eye poplar, and the library in some other rich wood, The shelves of the li- brary are built close up against the wall, and " their chief ornamentation is the books resting upon them. A lirgo libra- ry table sits in the center of the room, and this to-day was covered with books and papers. Before this time, Serator Sherman has had his librai 7 in the third story, but now he has removed it to the ground floor, putting it in the northeast corner of the room adjoining Mrs, Sher- man's sitting-soom, which lies between it and the parlor. 1t is a large room, well lighted and airy, with soveral windows lookingout upon the lawn, Every room in tho house has an electrle bell, and all the chambers are furnished with modern conventences. It will be a splendid place for entertaining, and it will con- tinue for many years as one ofthe historic sions of the country, 1t 18 & remarkable houso and 1s rich, withont being ex- travazant or gaudy, That which con- stitutes the soul of the house is still to bo added. As yet no curtains have been put up, and the glitter and polish of furniture and br. work are absent. In two weeks, however, all will ba com- plete. The pictures will be on the walls, the fine rugs will partially hide the well-joined floors, and " bright chand- ellers will throw the'» rays over a thousand and one {hings which, so much more than woodwork and masonry, go to tell the character of the inner life home or the tastes of its inmates. As it is, it compares well with the other homes of great statesmen. Clay Web- ster and Calhoun had but ordinary homes, and Buchanan's Wheatland, near ured Through blic Lafe, Lancaster, though located much the samo as Senator Sherman’s home, possessed mo elegsnce worthy of re- mark, C — The com bination, proportion, and pro- cess in preparing Hood's Sarsaparilla, are peculiar to this medicine, and unknown to others, John King, Jr., to accept the presidency of the Erie. Mr. King has time and agaln stat not take the position if it were offered him, and that he had given up railroad work altogether. His lcng and very able services of fourteen years as vice presi dent of the Baltimore & Ohio road have shown that he 18 in eveiy way fitted to petform the dutles of his new office, but the impression gained after his return from Europe, that he would accept no position thereafter tendered him, He said then: *‘I been esked t)» tike prominent positions at different times with one or more foreign railroads, and with Ameri- can railroads e3 well, 1 refused each and wvery one, and if I continuo a sane man, in full possession of my faculties, I will continue to refuse any and all such of- fors. I broke down my health and near- ly killed myseli by overwork as vice president of the Baltimore & Ohio, I have recovered iny health, and Ido not propose to sacrifice it again. 1have am- massed suflicient wealth to enable me to spend the rest of my life in ease, comfort and quiet, and so I propose to end them.” 1In the light of these statements there is no doubt that Mr. King must have been offered something very hand- some. The salaiy is $£30,000 a year. Mr. King is a portly man, of commanding presence With genial face. He was born in Baltimore, was there educated and 18 now H2 years old. He wc3s brought up in a hardware store, and was afterward for two years in the office of the Adams Express company. In 1854 he entered the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad as ticket agent at Camden station. Two years later ho was made paymaster, and one year after that ho became auditor, S sequently the duties of woneral fre ent devolved upon him. In 18 oflica of vice-president was created for him, He continued in that office for fonsteen years. He retired in 1881, on account of his health, and went to Europe. At the time of his retirement he was receiver of the Marietts and Cin- cinnati and Ohio and Mjssissippi rail- roads. and president of the Pittsburg and Connellsville railroad. Mr. King returned to this country July 4. —— Another Life Saved, About two years ago, a prominent z>n of Chicago was told by his physicians that he must die. They said his system was 80 debilitated that there was noth- ing left to build on. He had made up his mind to try a “‘new departure-” He got some of Dr. Pierce’s *‘Golden Medi- cal Discovery” and took it according to directions. He began to improve at once. Ho kept up the treatment for some months, and is to-day a well man. He says the *‘Discovery” saved his life. — The Mexican Liar Scores One, City of Mexico. 'wo Republic The following story comes (rom Mi- choacan: An Indian went outside the town of Cherantxieurin, state of Michoa- can, to look for some fuel in the moun- toin near by. While cutting up a diy oak he felt a bite on ihe calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a second, A mo- ment later he felt coiling around his body the torrible folds of a boa constrictor. In- stinctively he leaned hie head over to- ward the wounded leg, and was almost fascinated by the glare of two bright basilisk eyes that gleamed like fiery coals in 3ho head of the serpent. ()uicker than a flash the Indian ducked his head and caught the neck of the reptile in his teeth, clinging to it with the desperation of the dying. The huge sorpent lushed its tail and tried to twist his head to bury his fangs in she Indian, but the lat- ter clung on and began to chew away at the neck of the boa, which is the thin- nest and softest part of it anatomy. Af- ter chewing for a long time the Indian succeeded in beheading his antagonist, the folds dropped off, and the Indian was free. »d that he would | T nses of the m.lmw ‘and Tiver. ) invaluable f peenliar to “mmn. and all Who lend & um, ark and ike no other, 23~ The genuine sed red lines ¢ o James Medial Ittt Ch y reStateof 111+ Blood promptly relieved and nentlycured by reme= stedina Forty Years g Seminal mples .
