As they the description of Booth and the man Harol< had crossed the Potomac the Saturday night be­ fore--the chief detective placed under his com­ mand a squad of cavalry and tersely directed him to run Booth to earth, There were twenty- five cavalrymen iu the party, and to these, at the Lieutenant's request, was added as assistant and counselor his friend, Col. Conger, a brother of the ex United States Senator from Michigan. A gunboat conveyed the party down the river to Belle Plain that night, and the squad scoured the surrounding country until daybreak, Baker and Conger, dressed as civilians, riding some distance m advance and representing to a sleepy but sympathetic population that they had been pursued by "Yanks" and had become separated from two comrades whom they were now trying to find. No clew was obtained and at dayMght the party struck directly across the country, ar­ riving at Port Conway late in the afternoon. Here the jaded men dropped out of the saddle, but their rest was of a decidedly fleeting nature. The restless little Lieutenant soon found a fish­ erman named Rawlins who had seen Booth and Harold in company with Capt. Jett and Lieut. Bainbridge, two rebel officers just mustered out of Mosby's cavalry, cross the Rappahannock the nignt before." Did he know where they went? He imagined they would push straight on to Bowling Green, twenty-two miles south­ west. Rawlins agreed to guide the party to Bowling Green, but at his own suggestion was ' A crossed the river two mounted men -watched them interestedlv from the brow of the hill above. The cavalrymen galloped up the slope in pursuit, but the two made a dash into the pine woods, and it was dctimed advisable to waste no time in pursuit, but to head straight' for Bowl­ ing Green. "And those two men," said Lieut. Baker, with a queer grimace at the recollection, "were Harold and Bainbridge, as we afterwards learned, and Booth was only half a mile away at the farmhouse of the Garrett brothers. Midnight and the party had reached Bowling Green. The hotel to which Rawlins believed Capt. Jett would take his friends was quietly surrounded, and Capt. Jett himself was roused from his slumbers to find a revolver thrust in his face. He promised to tell all he knew of the matter if shielded from the charge of complicity, and informed the Lieutenant that Booth had stopped at the Garrett place. He was shortly ordered to get out his horse and accompany the party, and the men were directed in his hearing to snoot him down without halting if he at­ tempted a dash for liberty. Back toward the Rappahannock panted the tired horses, with their riders worn out, half asleep, and nearly choked by the thick, sluggish clouds of duBt which the intense darkness made it impossible to avoid. At 3.30 they were at the Garrett place, Jett and Rawlins placed under a guard, and the house surrounded. When old man Garrett opened the door a few inches in response to a knock Baker stepped inside and demanded : "Whore are tnc men who have been staying with you during the last day or two?" The revolver was a handy weapon for Lieut. Baker that night. Garrett, and the old man stammered: This time it was leveled at They have gone to the woods." "Don't you tell me that. They are here 1" and the revolver moved a few inches closer. Young Garrett appeared just then and begged the detective not to shoot his father. He ex­ plained that the men went to the woods after the cavalry went by, but soon came back. The suspicions of the family, however, had been aroused by their actions, and they refused to have them in the house again, but finally gave them permission to remain over night in the old tobacco warehouse, used as a bam. They had been locked in to prevent their stealing any­ thing, young Garrett explained, and his brother was staying in the corn-house to watch them. The command was poBted silently about the old barn. Then? was no drowsiness now, no weariness^ The taltr was strangely still for even a Southern night. The «an<Ue whioH Lieut. Baker carried in his hand as he walked toward the barn did not flicker in the least. To young Garrett, who was by his side, he said: "We find these men in your custody. You must go into the barn and induce them to give themselves up. We don't wish to shoot if it can be avoided, but we want them, dead or alive, and must have them." , Garrett demurred, but the revolver again proved a potent argument. The officer unloeked the door, and the young man stepped inside. Baker heard a rustling among the corn-leaves and a moment's low conversation. Then the voice of Booth rose sharply: "D n you, sir, you have betrayed me I Get out of here or I Will shoot you I" "We have sent in this young man in whose custody we find you," said Baker through the door, his words sounding with startling distinct­ ness in the ears of the watching cavalrymen. "Give him your arms and surrender, or we shall burn the barn, have a bonfire, and a shooting match." The command was useless, and a moment later a badly frightened young man waB pounding on the door and begging to be let out. Lieutenant Baker was still holding the candle in his hand when Garrett, with a face pale with terror, stepped outside. "Put that out," he said, hurriedly, "or he will shoot you by the sight of it." The officer set down his candle a trifle back, but so that its flame still cast a fantastic light on the barn front, and again called upon the fugitives to surrender. "There is one man here," Booth replied clearly, "who wishes much to surrender." And Baker heard the assassin say to Harold: "Leave me, will you ? Go 1 I don't wish you to stay. Harold rapped on the door as soon aB this mission was given, and said: "Let me on know nothing of this """i in here. ITi Bring out your anus and yon can oome," re­ plied Baker. "I have no arms." "You have," insisted the officer. "You brought a carbine and a pistol across the river. Bring them out." "Captain," interrupted Booth, calmly, "tho arms are mine and I shall keep them." Harold was a coward at heart, and he fairly prayed to bo let out. When the door was opened ne put out his hands at command, was pulled out by Lieut. Baker, and turned over to a guard. Then the officer turned his attention to Booth again. "You, too, had better come out and sur­ render," he said. A gleam of hope came to the murderer. "Tell me who you are and what you want of me," he called eagerly. "It may be I am being taken by my friends/ "It makes no difference who we are. We have fifty well-armed men around this barn and yon cannot escape." There was a momentary pause, and then Booth said despondently. "Captain, this a hard case, I swear! I am lame. Give me a chance. Draw up your men twenty yards from the door and I will come out and flgnt your whole com­ mand." "We are not here to fight," replied Baker, "but to take you. You are now free to surrender," "Give me a little time to consider," urged Booth. "Very well; you can have two minutes." Booth was quiet until the time had nearly elapsed. Then he said en treat in gly : "Captain, I believe you to be a brave and honorable man. I have had half a dozen chances to shoot you, and I have a bead drawn on you now, but I do not wish to|do it. ^Withdraw your men from the door and I will come out. Give me this chance for my life. Captain, for I will not be taken alive." "Your time is up," was the grim reply. "We shall wait no longer. We shall fire the barn." The theatrical instinct was still strong in the murderer. In a stagy tone he exclaimed: "Well, my brave boys, you can prepare a stretcher for me, then." And after a slight pause the listening officer heard him mutter: "Cite more suun on the glorious old banner." Col. Conger ignited a match on his side of the barn and lighted the corn-leaves that protruded through a .crack. As they flamed up Lieut/: Baker swung open a door and looked in. Booth seemed to be leaning against the mow, but was rfenwib. -SH? •weftsalready dead, the bam and laid . Opt of jrfeach of the flames, opened his eym and appeyedto ndition. In a painful wnirfper he said: " "Tell mother. Tell mother.* Then he became unconscious again. The heat of the burnlngabarn grew intolerable under the tree, and be was removed to the piazza A cloth wet with brandy«and water was placed between hie lips, and at length he revived again. His evea looked with dumb appeal into the faces of those about mo. "O, kill me; kill me quick," he whispered bitterly. Another lapse into unconsciousness, and It seemed impossible that he could revive again, but just before sunrise there was a last bright­ ening of the stunned brain. As he revived, he put out his tongue, and Lieut. Baker, thinking he wanted to know if there was blood in his mouth, told him there was none. "Tell mother I die for my country," Booth esped to the officer. "I did what I thought was st." « Baker lifted one of tbe nerveless hands. It fell back by his side again. "Useless, useless," murmured Booth. * These were the last words. Col. Conger had been sent on to Washington twenty minutes before the death of Booth, and, after a hurried breakfast, Lieut. Baker started after him with the body. It was wrapped in a blanket that had been used as a saddle cloth, and after the blanket had been firmly sewed together was placed in a rickety market wagon. An old negro, supposed to be thoroughly familiar with the icountry, acted as driver. Bakei directed the cavalrymen to follow him as soon as they had breakfasted, and with a single corporal by his side departed for Belle Plain Landing, thirty miles away. The story of that day's ride has never appeared in print. Mile after liiile was passed over, but the cavalry did not rejoin them, although the negro driver assured him that they were on the shortest road to the lauding. The officer finally became alarmed for the safety of his command and sent the corporal back with orders to the squad to push forward with the utmost haste. The corporal did not return, nor did the cavalry­ men appeal'. One officer was alone with the regro in a hostile country and with the body of the murderer of the hated Lincoln in his posses­ sion. The road grew forbidding. The day be­ came hot and sultry. Baker began to meet straggling groups .of Confederate soldiers, who glanced carelessly at the burden in the rickety wagon and said: "What hev you there--dead Yank?" There has been no other day in Lieut. Baker's life that proved so heavy a drain upon his physi­ cal and mental strength. Exhausted by thirty- six hours of hard riding in the saddle, he was required to be constantly on the alert in antici­ pation of an attack from every ravine. Hungry and thirsty, he dared not stop for food or drink. Now the kingbolt broke and the front end of the wagon-box dropped down. The corpse slipped forward and blood from the wound trickled down upon the axle and reach and smeared the hands of the old negro as he bent under the wagon to repair the damage. The old man cried out in terror. "Stop your noise," sternly commanded the of­ ficer; "it will wash off." "It will nebber, nebber wash off," wailed the negro, in horror. "It is the blood of a mur­ derer. " Up hills almost without end, threading num­ berless ravines, the two plodded along, finally reaching the Potomac in the evening, only to find themselves three-fourths of a mile above the landing. The negro had taken the old road, while Lieut. Baker's command had returned on the newer and better road constructed by the Government during tho war. When the cor­ poral reached his company the officer in com­ mand, jealous that a mere detective had been Slaced in authority above him, refused to follow aker, and said, shortly: "If he wants to go off on the wrong road he must take the consequences." Baker and the negro made the best of tho situation by carrying Booth's body to the river and hiding it under a clump or willows, after which the former rode two miles around a bluff and found his command and gunboat at the Government landing. He pulled back with two men to the old landing, secured the body, and when it was swung on board the gun­ boat he dropped exhausted on the deck and lay there until the boat had steamed half way to Washington. The next day he gave the Socretary of War a detailed account of the tragedy. Stanton had Booth's carbine, and it was found that the cartridge was out of position and could not be exploded. Its appearance showed that a number of efforts had been made to dis­ charge the weapon, and it is probable that Booth snapped it repeatedly at Baker as the latter stood before the old bam with the candle in his hand. . The administration was in a quandary regard­ ing the disposal of the assassin's body, which was still on board the gunboat. The second day after Lieut. Baker's return Gen. Baker came to him, and said: "Stanton wants me to dispose of Booth's body. He doesn't care where it is put, only so it will not be found until Gabriel blows his trumpet. I want you t« go with me." The two started for the navy yard, stopping on the way for a moment's conversation witn the officer m charge of the old penitentiary, then used as an arsenal. At'the navy yard the two cousins dropped into a rowboat, the body was taken* on board, and a heavy ball and chain was cons late river and followed the rowboat as far down the stream as the marshes would permit. The story sprang from lip to lip that the body was to be weighted down with ball and chain and sunk in midstream. For several days there­ after searching parties dragged the Btream, and the next issue of Frank Leslie's newspaper con­ tained a singularly accurate full-page picture, showing the Bakers in the act of shoving the body into tho river. Two miles below the city the boat halted in a little cove near the grounds where condemned war-horses were slaughtered, and remained until darkness had settled down. Then it was pulled slowly back to the old penitentiary. A door at the water's edge was opened and the corpse car­ ried to a criminal cell where the stone slab that covered the floor had been removed and a grave dug in the earth beneath. Into that black hole, with only the United States blanket as a wind­ ing-sheet, was lowered tho body of J. Wilkes Booth, and the stone slab replaced above it. Col. Conger afterward insisted that the com­ mand of the capturing party was turned over to him in Virginia, and claimed the lion's share of the reward. All the foundation there was for this claim was that Conger informed Baker during the search that he knew the lay of the land well, and the latter replied: "Well, if you are familiar with the country, go ahead." How- over, Conger induced a corporal of the guard to testify that Baker had really turned over tho command, and by shrewd engineering eventually secured $i0,000 as the commander of the party, Lieut. Baker receiving only £3,000. DEATH OF JUSTICE STANLEY HAT- THEWS OF THE SUPREME COURT.

The afternoon of his death ae had a prolonged chill and high fever, which brought on intense local suffering. This was followed in a few hours by another chill, from which he could not rally. "He continued to lose strength,..and died a fe^f minutes after 10 o'clock a. m. The immediate cause of death was ex­ haustion of the heart and congestion of the kidneys. For a number of hours previous to his death ho was practically unconscious. During his last hours the dying justice was attended by members of his family. These were Mrs. Mat­ thews, two daughters, his son Paul, and Mr. C. B. Matthews, his brother who came to Wash­ ington from Cincinnati a week ago. Dr. Johns­ ton and the faithful colored servant, who only a few days ago announced to callers with great satisfaction that "Justice Matthews is ever so much better," were also present. Stanley Matthews was bom at Cincinnati, Ohio, July 21, 1824, his father being Thomas J. Matthews, professor of mathematics in Tran­ sylvania University, Scntncky, and afterward President of the Woodward High School, Cincin­ nati. Stanley Matthews graduated at Kenyon College in 1840, and afterward studied law for two years. He then taught school in Maury County, Tennessee, until his admis­ sion to the bar, when he removed to .Columbia, where he practiced law and edited the Tennessee Democrat. Ill 1844 he re­ turned to Cincinnati, and was appointed Assist­ ant Prosecuting Attorney during a term of court, his efficiency attracting attention. He also be­ came a contributor to Dr. Bailey's anti-slavery paper, the Herald, and subsequently succeeded Dr. Bailey as its publisher. His connection with the paper made Mr. Matthews a party to the combination which elected Mr. Chaso United States Senator from that State and resulted in Mr. Matthews' election, as a "free-Boiler," Clerk of tho Ohio House of Representatives. In 1849, upon the adjourn­ ment of the Legislature, Mr. Matthews returned to the practice of his profession, and upon the "THE UNITED STATES."

AN ENTERPRISING PRINTER. ted by the Democrats one of dges of the Court of Common Pleas ! Coi in January, 1853, finding tho salary insufficient, and became a member of the law firm of Worth- ington & Matthews. He subsequently served one full term in tho Senate of Ohio, and was United States District Attorney from 1858 to 1800, when he resigned. Upon a tender of his services to Gov. Dental- son at tbe commencement of hostilities he was appointed Lieutenant Colonel of tho Twenty- third Ohio Infantry. Rutherford B. Hayes was Major of the regiment, and Gen. Rosecrans its Colonel. He was promoted to the Colonelcy of the Fifty-first Ohio Regiment in October, 18t'»l. In April, 1863 he was elected by the Republicans Judge of the Superior Court of Cincinnati, and resigned his military command. He filled this judicial position until July, 1864, when he ten­ dered his resignation, compelled by pecuniary considerations to resume his private practice. This soon became very extensive and profitable. In 1872 Mr. Matthews, although a member of the convention which first nominated Mr. Greeley for President, withdrew before the nomination and supported the election of Gen. Grant in the canvass. Upon the resignation of Senator Sherman to become Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Matthews was elected as his suc­ cessor, serving from 1877 until 1879. Toward the close of his administration President Hayes sent the nomination of Stanley Matthews to the Senate to be an Associate Justice of tho Supreme Court of the United States, but the nomination was not acted upon by that Congress^ It was renewed by President Garfield on May l2,1861, and confirmed. SUPREME COURT AND SENATE. Both Bodies Adjourn as a Mark of Respect for the Dead Jurist. When the Supreme Court met at 12 o'clock on the 22d inst., Chief Justice Fuller announced the death of Justice Stanley Matthews and ad­ journed the court.

In tliu Senate tho Vio« President presented' a note from the Chief Justice announcing the death of Justice Matthews, and on motion of Mr. Hoar the'Senate immediately adjourned. Tributes to His Worth. A large number of messages of condolence were received by the family of the deceased, among them being the following from the President: "I have heard with the most profound regret of the death of your most honored husband. The sense of loss and bereavement which you feel will be shared by our people. I have known Justice Matthews for many years and had a very high appreciation of his character and learning. That you may be comforted and sustained in this hour of trial is my most sincere prayer. Very truly yours, BENJAMIN HABBISOK." crouched as though in tne act of springing for­ ward.

Timothy and Peter Barrett died on the scaffold in the County Jail at Minneap­ olis, Minn., for the murder of Thomas Tollefson, a street-car driver. Fathers James and Henry McGolrick and Father Corbett, of the Catholic Church, attended the men. The brothers died game. Henry, Timothy, and Peter Barrett, brothers, of unsavory reputation, robbed the cash-box of a street-car and killed the driver, Thomas Tollefson, late on the night of July 26, 1887. The Barretts were arrest­ ed. Henry turned State's evidence, and on his evidence Tim and Pete were convicted and sentenced to hang. Two shots were fired at Tollefson, the first, fired by Pete, struck tbe driver in the leg. Henry and Pete then ran away. Within a minute Tim fired a shot which killed Tol­ lefson. Tim then took the cash-box, with $20 in it, and joined Henry and Pete. After a number of trials and a stay granted by the Supreme Court, the Governor fixed the time of execution for Fiiday, March 22.

What is naturally and obviously suggested by the sentiment pro-|1:; posed, is a country marvelous in its growth and/ vfl development, great in its power and wealth, and<£i$j free in the character of its institutions and inj'J^i the spirit of its people. There is also suggested broad and hospitable country, which opens t gates to the people of all nations who are willing^'*! to assume the duties of American citizenship inl' S; exchange for a share iu the blessings which God| has in store for the American people. Nor can;, it be said that in national selfishness and sordid" complacency our country is blind to the welfa of others. Wherever there exists a struggle to for man's enfran- be found the aid freer government and chisement there will and sympathy of the people of the Unit States. In this we but follow the prompt ings which our free condition inspires, an«L acknowledge the contribution we have received! from the sturdy men of other lands, to our pop-.' nlation, and to every element of our greatness^ In this reunion of your ancient and honorable society reminding us'of such contributions, an<l where the value of American citizenship is tally; acknowledged, it is in every way fitting anil proper that we should mention with lovo and loyalty the United States. I have referred to the obvious significance of these words atjt they are related to a great, prosperous, and free nation. But other nations, too, are great; they are prosperous and rich, and in a measure they are free. 'States' may mean any organized gov­ ernment--tyrannical, monarchical, or free. Itl is, therefore, most important that we do not miss the reflection that "the United States' aloud stand for the one government always free, and founded upon human rights and equality before the law. Thus is presented the unity of on* States and the fundamental importance of that unity, to all we are and all we hope to be. Our national life is inseparable from this union of the States. Thus it was launched upon its career among the nations of the earth. Its machinery is suited to no other condition, and its success depends upon it, Whatever might be the achievements of separate and disjointed States, nothing but tho triumph of the United States can fully demonstrate in the eyes of the world the success of the Amerfj can experiment of self-government. To the end that our nation might be called the United States, the fathers who forged so well the bonds of our Union, yielded to each other their opinions and discarded their preju* dices. In later years in order that the) United States might be saved as a pcecioua* heritage, lives were sacrificed and blood wa9; ahed on many a hard-fought battle field, Woj should not be content with veneration for those who made us a nation, nor with the sacred andi Cteful remembrance of those who shed their! od and gave their lives for its perpetuation.* We, too, owe a duty to 'the United States/ We1 can at least teach fraternity and toleration, the? sure foundations of our unity and of our coun-l try's life. . j "If these lessons are firmly established in the'., hearts of onr countrymen, we shall, to the ex*f tent that we aid in this consummation, perfor the duty required of us in our day and genera, tion.
