PLODDING PILGRIMS,. A Converted Gambler and a Quartette of Singers Engaged ina Good Cause, A handsome covered wagon, drawn by a fine pale of gray horses, atiracted conslderable attention in the streets last evening. On the sido of the wagon ap- pesred the eingle word, *‘Pllgrime.” Seated in the vehlclo were a quarte!ts of slngers, one of whom played an organ which cccapled the center of the wagon. The outfit was at fir st supposed to be an adveriisement for some quack medi- cine, The eupposition, however, proved to be erroneous. as one of the geutlemen anncunced that a lecture would be given for the purpore of reaching those who did not attehd church and teachiug leesons of reform, The wagon stopped at the corner of Haruey and Eieventh street, where the exerclses were opened by a song from the quartette and a prayer. The speaker ennounced himrelf es Mason Long, of Fort Wayne, Ind., a re- formed gambler, saloonkeeper and gen- eral tough—a man who bad been through the mill, He thea proceeded to address the boys and young men and warned them agatnst gambling and kindred vices. He related eome of his own experlences, and sald that a gambler would never have a dollar, It makes no difference how the gembling s done; whether et cerds, Loreo races or bucket shope, it 1s ull the same, and the money thus won can do no good. The speaker mald he was addressing the llberal-hearted youth of the country on this subject, as the ponurious and eelfish were not the ones who were ru'ned by gaming, It is the whole-souled, generous boy who is dragged down by this terribls vice. Tne speaker then toached upon the subject of drinking, and warned young men of the dangers to ba avolded, There was nothing fanstical in his talk, bot just plain, common sense srgument, He urg:d them to reform, to cultivate habits of economy and industry, and thrift would take the place of penury, ‘Yes,” {d the speaker, pointing to his horsce, saved that team in two yesrs by not smoklng, and I think 1 can Jook at them with more ratlsfaction than I could at a big plle of stubs.” A reporter of the Bee who listened to the lecturo was very much Interested in both it and the epesker.

The woman was accompanied by her husband and a number of frlesds, all residents of lower Paclfic street, who were very much excited. Tha story told was to the cffect that Frank Sichann, also a resident of the same lo- callty, bad hit Mrs, Bergot with a brlck, cauzing the wound, His father, John Sichann, also partici- pated in the assault, and had struck the woman a number of tlmes. Officer Crawford was Informed of the affair, but refased to arrest the men wlthout a war- rant, and so the entire party had come to headquarters to recure the papors and have the women’s wound dressed. De, Lolsenring was rummoned and dreesed the wound, and the woman and her friends returned to thelr homes. The cause of the difficulty was the man Girnus. It seems that he had been drinking all day and had ralsed several distarbances, discharglng firesrmy into houses ard throwing stones and bricks. Late last evening a disturbance ocourred near Sichann’s house, and Mr. and Mis, Bergot, suppcsing it to be Glrnus, went down to see if they counld notstop it. It proved, however, to be somebody elso, and when Mes. Bergot asked the Sichanns what was the troublo they becamo angry and awsaulted her, Both men had been drinking.

It had wesknosses all over it, but sufficlent strevgth to hold Jeffer- son Davir, mysolf snd his scoretary. The rebel chlef aat between us, and over his head, from a pole fixed to the s hung the hoop ekict, calico wrapper an old straw kood, which fcrmed his dls- gulse whea captured.” “4So Jeff was disguisec?” “Yes, Itisno use to question the fact, The articles of hls costume hung from that pole. Davis bore h'mself with the fortitude of a brave man in bis trouble. He was courtsous to me and to the guard; talked frecly on every quot- tlon but that relating to the result of the war.” “‘When wo stopped at the Interna: tional hotel, and were about ta got out of the wagon, Captalu Thompson, of the Fourth Indlana cavalry, drow his revol- ver to fire at Davis. 1 saw the move- ment, strack the weapon with my arm, and the bullet tore my coat and shirt. At the moment Davis, seelng Thomp- on’s purpose, czled out, ‘For God’s aake, Lieutenant, eave my life!’ I got the pris- oner out of the wagonand into the hotel with a good deal of alacrity. ““After that I met Davis at the Loulsville hotel in 1872, when he racog- nized me, and spproaching sald: ‘I must thank you agaln, Lieut. legrigg, for mvleg my life. Wo had quite & chat abous the wsr then, Before this I had received a letter of thanks from him. He was my prisoner for elght days, togother with hls wife, daughter, end the commlissary of his guard. Thesa three we took into Macon In an old family cartisge. Jeff wes not sulky 88 a prisoner, but one could see that the breaking of the confederacy bore griev- fously on his thoughts.” Though accustomed to geo elanderous publicatfons in regard to myself I have read this with no little surprize, bzcanse of the total absence of any foundatlon or pretext on which to butid the fistlon. I avail myself of your ueual courtesy in asking you to publish tnis eeriatim refu- tatlon of the several statements of the atory. It is not true s stated, that I was turned over to the custody of one Lieu- tenant lsgrigg two and a haif miles (or any other distance) from Macon. The troops by whom I was captured remained my guard to Macon, and a detachment of them accompanied mo to Fortress Mon- roe n charge of thelr own officers, Equslly untrae is it that 1 rode with seld legrigg and my secretary (or with snyons else) In “‘an old farm wagon.” My private secretary, Burton N. Har- rlcon, esq , now a member of the bar of New York, was captured with me, snd rode on horseback to Macon, I had for several days occupled an ambulance with my wife and children, and rode Into Macor in ft. There was no suoh cowardly attempt to offer insult to me as would have been shown by hanglog over my head the articlen of olothing which Iegrigg falsely avers I had worn at the thne of my cap- ture. Nor did my captors obtaln at the t'me of my capture the hoopekirt, ete., which Isgrigg describes. unless they wers |1 found smong the apparcl takon when the trunks of my wife and her female servant were plilaged.
