ONE WOMSNIjbf’LAG. Sow s Plucky Pioneaf' Improvised a Famous Old Banner In OWK^nla. From the Pittibur^Htpatch. During a recent tour or California I visit ed, at a pleasent town called Napa, Mr. Jonn Fowler, one of the few survivors of the handful of native Americans—subse quently known as the Bear Flag insurgents who, on June 14, 184(5, a little less than a month before they learned thai, ‘he United States had declared war gainst Mexico, made a bold and determined effort to free California from the latter country, whose possession she then was, by declaring her an Independent republic, after the man ner of Texas. Though sixty-five years oi 2'c, he perfectly retains his memory and 1 his other faculties, and gave me a most interesting account of the stirring scenes en acted at that time and in which he was a most active participant. In the magnificent hall of the flourish ing social order and historical society known asthe Pioneers of California, on Fourth street, near Mission, in San Francisco, are displayed two peculiar flags, the only ones of the kind ever made, which were the stand ards of the Americans in their revolt against Mexico, and from which they derived then name of the Bear Flag insurgents or Bear Flag party. These flags consist of a large, almost square piece of muslin, 5 or (5 feet in length, once white, but now completely yel lowed by time, to the bottom of which is roughly sewn a narrow strip of red flannel. Upon the muslin ground of each in the up per right hand corner is a painted star, while the centre is ornamented with the represen tation of a bear, beneath which are the words, “California Republic.” The only important difference between the two flags is that the bear upon one is rampant, while that upon the other is on all fours. Mr. Fowler swears positively that the flag bearing the picture of a rampant bear is the one first made and raised by the Bear Flag Insurgents. FREMONT’S EXPEDITION. “It was in February, 1846.” said Mr Fow ler in talking of the matter, “that Gen. Fremont, at the head of an exploring ex pedition sent on by the United States gov arnment, having entered California, then a possession of Mexico, without the permission of the Mexican government, was encamped at Fort Gabilan when a dispute arose be tween him and a native California about a horse which the latter found in the posses sion of one of Fremont’s men, and which he claimed as having been stolen. Fremont re- C isfsi to surrender the horse, and defied the Mexican authorities, who had no troops in the neighborhood with which they could safely attack the American riflemen. “I was about 25 years of age, and was in the employ of Mr.'John Sutter, an Ameri can who had acquired considerable property in California, and who owned, some miles from Sonoma, a large ranch where he had erected a sort Of walled stockade as a pro tection against the Indians. It was popu larly known as Sutter’s Fort. On June 5, 1846, there arrived at our fort a Mexican Lieutenant name Arce, who was on his way to Sonoma. In the course of conversation he incautiously let fall that his errand was to procure horses to be used in expelling the American residents. “This statement seemed to demand instant action. Mr. Sutter immediately sent out messengers to all the Americans tn our vicin ity, ana called on them to assemble at his fort. They did so on June 7, and at that meeting a long score of grievances inflicted by the Mexican government upon Ameri cans living in California was discussed at great length, in addition to what was now regarded as the expressed determination of that- power to expel the Americans. After considerable debate we finally voted unani mously to anticipate Mexico by declaring war against her, making all her alcaldes and other officials our prisoners, and seizing her military posts throughout California —all of them- very poorly garrisoned—before she should have had time to take any steps against us. We dispatched a messenger to Gen. Fremont, who had then moved his camp about thirty miles to the northward of us, asking him to join his forces with ours, become our commander-iu-chief, and unite with us in declaring war againt Mexi co. He refused to comply with our request, but expressed sympathy with our purposes, and promised to remain in our vicinity in the hope that he might afford us some indi rect assistance. AN ALTERNATE COURSE. “Disappointed at not securing the active co-operation of Fremont, we proceeded to form a military organization, and with great heartiness and unanimity chose Ezekiel Merritt as our commander. Merritt was a Vermont Yankee —a shrewd, bold, fearless, rough-spoken man of the Ethan-Allen-Lsrael- Putnam type. Though strong as an ox and as brave as a lion, he was also, when occa sion required, as tender and a:} gentle as a woman, and was one of the best of nurses for a sick man. AVe could not have chosen a better chieftain to lead us against the Mexi cans, and under his dauntless leadership we rode (all well mounted) directly to Sonoma, the only town and military post of Mexico, north of the Golden Gate. It was about noon on Sunday,June 14, that we entered Sonoma. The day was intensely hot and the inhabi tants were all sitting outside of their houses or at their windows. They were taken com pletely by surprise, not having hail the slightest inkling of our coining, and not a soul imagined what our errand was until we rode up to the Mexican fort, and Merritt, our bold leader, demanded the immediate surrender, not as Col. Athan Allen once made a similar demand, ‘ln the name of the Continental Congress and the great Jehovah, but in the name of the Indepen dent Republic of California.’ The garrison, as much suprised as the people of the town had been, was wholly unprepared for any resistance, and, though we numbered only thirty-two men, it was surrendered at once. “As there were a number of native Cali fornians in the vicinity, we deemed it best to send M. G. Vallejo, the general-com mandant, and his brother-in-law, Jacob P. Ix-ese, an American, who sided with the Mexicans and refused to join our move ment, though we desired him to do so, bock to Sutter’s fort as prisoners of war. Fear ing an attack and an attempt at rescue by native Colifornians on the way, it was de cided that the escort should be commanded by Merritt, while William B. Ide, an equal ly bold and hardy pioneer, succeeded him in the command at Sonoma. “Though we all desire to use the Ameri can flag, we felt that we had no right to do so, as the United States was not at war with Mexico, and that we must have a standard oi our own after the manner of Texas when she declared her independence. Various de signs for a banner had been suggested, when Commandant Ide said: ‘Gentlemen, it is only wasting time to talk about a design for a flag when we have no material with which toniuknone.’ That was true enough. There was not a yard of bunting, muslin or flannel in Sonoma, except what was already made up into garments. BOUND TO HAVE A BANNER. . “ ‘AVe will have a flag in spito of every thing,’ said Mrs. Joliu Scars, the wife of one °1 our number who bad pluckily accom panied her husband, and retiring for a short time, she presently returned with a large strip of muslin and a smaller one of red flan nel, both of which she had torn from her Raiments. To sew the flannel to tho muslin whs the work Of a few minutes, and our flag was complete, save for some design yet to he added. William Todd, one of our number, who thought he jxisKeKsod some talent for painting volunteered to act us our artist, oorne paint was obtained from a neighbor linr wheelwright'* shop, and Todd began by Painting a lone star, in imitation of tho fug, Mr. 11.

Beneath the bear be painted the words, 'California Republic,’ and our flag was com pleted just as you may see it now in the null of the California Pioneers in San Francisco. It was first raised on the afternoon of that same day, Sunday, June 14,1846. and itcon- Unued to float over Sonoma until July 11, following, on which day we received the (to us) glad news that the United States had declared war against Mexico, and that Com. Bloat had seized California in the name of our beloved country, whereupon we hauled nown our improvised banner and replaced it with the dear old Stars and Stripes amid the wildest rejoicings and the most extrava gant demonstrations of delight.” A RUNAWAY TRAIN. A lioy That Was Panic-Stricken but Saved the Train. There is a story in the June Wide Awake of a boy, the 15-year-old son of a locomotive engineer, who had often ridden with his father and “knew the engine pooty well.” Indeed the engineer had frequently let the the boy “drive” on a long stretch of a straight track. One night he left “Dave” in charge of the engine on a siding, while he went to supper as usual. There came up a furious wind, and after a little some cars shot by without an engine. The wind had started them. Boy, think quick! Down grade. The lightning express is to come that way! Nobody near. No telegraph wire. The trains are headed together. There is less than an hour to eaten those runaway cars and pull them out of the way. No time for hesitation! He springs to the lever, picks up speed and tears away with grade and wind and steam like a whizzing arrow. They are miles ahead. The rushing min utes are full of sudden comprehension. He almost sees through the dark, tempestuous night. What set him flying towards this plunge was thought of the Lightning Ex press. Now danger takes hold of him. What if he is just too late! The runaway train is in sight! Off steam! No, on again! Let the story teller tell the rest. He must slow up, but do it so nicely that, when he does come up with them, there shall be the least possible shock, for here is the hardest part of "the business. He has nobody to help him “couple.” He must be, for the nonce, both engineer and switchman. He had not thought what a formidable job this was until it stared him in the face. On he flew, revolving the situation in his head and adjusting his engine with the nicest care until he was upon the very heels of the runaway; then, with many misgiv ings, slipped out of the engine house and crawled along the side of the locomotive and down on the “cow-catcher.” Here, siezing the long coupler in one hand and holding on with the other, he stood watching with breathless interest the ap proaching collision. The suspense was agonizing. The situation was perilous. A gust of wind might sweep him from his place; he might be shaken off or crushed. He was almost panic stricken. A dozen times he was at the point of turning back. To his startled ear the air was full of un canny sounds —the sweep of another torna do, the rush of the “Lightning” just ahead. But he had in him the stuff which heroes are made of. The hero, remember, is not he who is insensible to danger, but rather he who feels and realizes, yet overcomes it. The “Meteor" drew nearer and nearer the flying train. Dave had used excellent judg ment in regulating its speed, for at length it came up with the rear car with scarcely a shock, so that Dave could reach over and drop in the pin. Then clambering hack into the engine house with trembling eagerness he seized the “throttle.” To his amazement the train did not stop. Instead of the “Meteor’s” stoo ping the runaway, the runaway dragged the “Meteor’’ along in its headlong flight. Dave was horror struck. He had thought the train would stop at once. He had not calculated what a tremendous impetus all those heavy cars had acquired. Now, then, the tussle. The train began to slow up. It came to a standstill. Then the backward pull. Slowly they got under way, but the wind and up-grade was against them. Davy began to get anxious. The “Lights ning” must be due by this time. He kept a sharp lookout behind and whistled like mad around the curves. At length he entered upon the long, straight level line of road which extended clear to Blankton. Dave breathed freer. It was the home-stretch— a good ten-mile run. Hardly had he congratulated himself when far behind —but unmistakably—-he heard the, scream of the “Lightning’s” whistle. He’was goincr already at his topmost speed. He was making not more than thirty-five miles an hour, while the “Lightning” was coming on at the rate of sixty. AVith hor ror be heard it gaining on him: the next whistle was nearer: and at length when he had made only two-thirds the distance the gleam of the headlight came shooting round a wooded curve in his rear. Out of the very despuir of the moment Dave gathered calmness. He turned his back on the pursuing train, he cast no look behind, he shut his ears to its on-coming roar, looked straight ahead, kept his eye on the track, liis mind on his duty. He is almost there —he is there, he dashes past the station house, across the switch and down at last upon the side track. It is all right. Jake and Jim are there. They have thrown the switch back in time and' the “Lighning” goes whizzing and shrieking past. AVhen Jake jumped aboard the “Meteor” his son fainted dead aw ay in his arms. A Prohibitionist Afraid of Water. Washington Letter In Philadelphia Record Solicitor General Jenks is the most de lightful Pennsylvanian in Washington. The biusiest of public officers, rising while others are sleeping, at work when others are breakfasting, laboring day and night as few lawyers in private practice do. he is still al ways at leisure to a friend. He chats with you as calmly and as easily as though he had nothing to do and did not propose to do even that. Leasure; like a fortune, is let ter made than inherited. The time that So licitor General Jenks takes from his work seems more perfectly his own than if it had been taken from a limitless leisure. He never talks with you for five minutes with out saying something instructive or enter taining. The other day in talking with a visiting statesman h'* said: “There are just two things lam afraid of. One is a bull and the other is water.” His caller laughed, especially at the latter, reniendiering that Jenks w : as a true-blue Presbyterian Elder. “Yes,” continued the Solicitor General, “bulls and water. That’s the reason I couldn’t go to fanning if I were out of a job. I’d have to go to carpentering. I un derstand that first rate. You see a bull knocked ine down once, and I had to wriggle out between his legs to save myself from his horns. 1 shall never forget it. Then I was drowned once —in water, of course—and I nevercareto repeat the experience.” “Did you review your past life in an instant as drowning people always do in books!” "No, I didn’t,” he responded with a smile; "but then, you see, I didn’t have much to review, because I was only 4 wars old. I went out one dav with a lot of liig boys, who ran and jumped from a snring board into a pool ten feet deep. I had never been in tho water before, but I thought swimming came bv nature to boys just as it docs 1 o dogs. Bo T followed tho rest to the bottom.

AN OLD FEUD Causes the Death of Nine Men and la Not Yet Ended. A dispatch from Glasgow, Ky., to tue Louisville Courier-Journal says; The latest information received from Ed munton in regard to the tragedy which oc curred in the court house there last week, is that the grand jury has returned an indict ment against Dode and Tom Dowell, broth ers, two brothers named Pendleton and Roy Rutledge, charging them with conspiracy and the murder of William Stotts. The killing of Stotts grew out of the feud that exists between George A1 Edwards, the noted Green county desperado, and the Dowells, who lived near East Fork in the up per part of Metcalfe, near the Green county line. He makes the ninth man, it is said, who has been killed since the trouble first originated between the principals named above. Two years ago this summer a desperate fight oecured at Lisletown, in Green county, between the Dowells, three of them; on one side, and Edwards and his little 12-vear-old son, who is a dead shot with a rifle or pistol, on the other. There was a terrible fusilade for a short while, but only one man was hurt. One of the Dowells was wounded by a ball from Edwards’ rifle. Edwards was stationed behind a tree about two hundred yards off. He and his little Lry finally got into a stable near by ami held the fort the rest of the evening, besieged by the Dowells and their friends. After nightfall Edwards and the boy made their escape from the barn. Bill Stotts, who was murdered at Edmunton last week, has been living with Edwards on and off for the past, two years, and it was charged by the Dowells that he was secreted in the bare at Lisletown with Edwards at the time of their fight with him. He was not there, however, but the Dowells had a deep grudge against him because they believed he was. They are the men, Stotts thought, who wanted to kill him when he said to Judge Carr, the Circuit Judge, on the morning of the day. he was killed, that he was to be murdered that day. He de clined to act upon Judge Carr’s advice to swear out a peace warrant against them, on the ground that it would look cowardly. Just before the shooting, Stotts was sitting in the court room waiting for the case to lie called against him for shooting and wound ing Bill Blinker a year ago that day. He walked out into the yard, and while out there a man came down a stair-case which leads from a room above the Circuit court room and beckoned him. That man is be lieved to have been Slinker, with whom Stotts had made friends, and with whom he rode and slept the night before. Stotts went to hint and then with him up stairs. A kinsman of his, Sam Wells, seeing him go up, followed. Up stairs there were several others, and a scuffle took place; then Stotts, breaking away from the men who had attacked him after getting among them, ran to the stairs leading down into the court, room. He had taken two or three steps down when he was shot from behind with a pistol, not a Winchester rifle as at first reported. His body rolled down into the court room below. Mr. George Bushong, an old man from Monroe county, who had been in the County Judge’s office on an up-stairs floor, had come out in time to see one man slap Stotts’ face, another strike him, a third kick him, and, as he ran down the steps, a fourth shoot him. Judge George It. Laine, the County Judge, was also in his door when the fatal shot was fired and saw who fired it. It was Dode Dowell. Although Stotts had brought to town with him in his wagon a small arsenal, he seems to have had no weapons upon his person when shot. There were present up stairs when the at tack was made, the two Dowells, Dode and Tom, the two Pendleton brothers, Rutledge, Slinker. a negro named George Johnson, and Sam Wells, Stotts’ kinsman. Although only the five first named have been indicted, Slinker and the negro, Johnson, are suspect ed of being in the conspiracy to murder Stotts' In the great excitement which followed the shooting, the Dowells and the Pendle tons escaped, and only Rutledge was ar rested. It is said the former have sent the Sheriff of Metcalfe word that he need not come for them, that he will never “take them.” Rutledge is in jail, and rumors are float ing about that his rescue will be undertaken by the Dowells and their friends. The Sheriff will have no easy thing of it in try ing to effect their arrest. They are all bold desperate man and the kind who die with their boots on. The end is very probably not yet in the war between the Edwards and Dowell factions. Stotts, the murdered man, who w-as formerly engaged in the revenue service under United States Mar shal Auxier, was a pretty tough fellow. He was known all over this section, and was concerned in a lot of rascality and devilment. Indictments were hanging over him in al most every county around here for various offenses committed by him. Notwithstand ing all this, he was a game man, and al though known to quail once or twice, was a man who generally knew not what fear was. His murder was a cowardly piece of business and committed by men who have the same reputation for fearlessness that Stotts bore. The excitement, still exists in Mtoalfe. and there are not a few who put the Sheriff down as the tenth victim to fall in the Ed wards-Dowell feud. He will And it no funny thing when he undertakes the Dowells’ anil Pendletons’ arrest. PETTED BY THE FAIR SEX. The Romantic Life of a Burglar in a Delaware Prison. Wilmington, Del.. May 25.-— Charles Blake, a noted tmrgler, has been released from New Castle jail after serving a sen tence of three years for house breaking and jobbery. Blake was a large, well-propor tioned fellow, of pleasing manners and a pleasing conversation list. He seemed wholly irresistible to the women with whom ho came in contact during his trial and impris onment and while he was incarcerated his life was romantic. Though it teas known that he was a no torious crook, after his conviction a bogus sister In the person of a petite and comely young woman made an earnest appeal to Gov. Btockly to have the corporeal punish ment—thirty lashes and an hour in the pil lory —remitted. Bhe pleaded on her knees before the tender-hearted Governor and he took from the court’s sentence the public punishment. The woman came and wont to and from the jail, carrying him delica cies and flowers, ornaments for his cell, bric a-brac, furniture and earpet, t until the pris oner seemed like a petted bird in a glided cage. He ate the best of food and his cigars wre the envy of his keepers. Of this at tention ho soon tired, ana the opportunity presented itself for his escape, another woman furnishing him with a set of keys that gave him liberty. He came to this city, where ho remained in hiding two days, when he wus apprehended bv the jiolioe and returned to his luxurious cell. While here lie sought the seclusion of the house of another woman admin r, whose hus band was a member of the police force, but her infatuation for the jail-bird protected him until he got drunk and recklessly showed himself to the policeman. liis al leg'd sister, displeased at the unfaithfulness of his act in escaping and not coming to her for protection, dtscardod him in part, but left nim in the possoarion of the furnishings of his cell. Miss Gussie Turner, of Philadel phia, in going through the jail on a tour of curious inspections one afternoon w as, at tracted to Blake, and they talked awhilo to gether. It was quite evident that sho too was infatuated with the prisoner, and sho come again and again, bringing flowers nnd fniits. Bhe took up her home in Newcastle, and hail Blake's meals served from one of the hotels until she became tiresome to the officials. One evening she induced Mayor Black to enter the jail with her. and upon reaching Blake’s cell site insisted upon a marriage ceremony being perfoiuved, and the good-natured Mayor complied with her request and thet wo were married. One day. iqjbtfAkiWl from the wife, Blake •in.s n not lie tukinz their excr rise in the jail yards. Workmen had left a quantity or long, heavy timber, which they had been using in repairs. These showed Blake a way to freedom, and lest his fellow convict should apprise the keeper of his es cape he commanded him to join in his flight . To escape required the ascent of the 20 foot wall and a leap from its top to the other side. Blake forced his companion to the (taring feat and he followed, making a dar ing dash and both landed safely. It was quite dark when they escaped, and procuring clothes and money from some out side source, presumably from the new Mrs, Blake, they were soon eu route for Oxford. They trav eled all night and lay in the woods by day, and hod just about reached their destination when a policeman from Wilmington in pur suit routed them from their hiding. The companion, seeing escape impossible, a f once surrendered. Blake defied the offi cial. He gathered an ornit ill of stones and took a stand, bomdurding the officer as he advanced. The officer, in stdf-defense, pulled his revolver and tired, the bullet strik ing the fugitive’s foot, penetrating the in step. Blake tell, and even after receiving the wound was taken with difficulty. The wound was of a serious nuture, and only through the careful attention of the jail phy sician was the foot saved. Upon being returned to the jail Blake was put in another cell, divested of all funiture savo a mattress, and for a long time he %vas kept in chains. No one was permitted to see him and the door of the cell was kept locked. His wife, however, insisted upon taking advantage of the rules of the institu tion, and her iiersistent applications were Anally successful, though afterward they were only allowed to talk through a crack in the door. When he was released he walked out with his wife triumphantly, after leaving var ious messages to bo delivered to his fair ad mirers. Blake states that he has taken a pledge to abstain from drinking and has promised his wife, who took him to her home in Philadel phia, to give up his calling as a thie? and lead an honest life. HER FAMILY. Eliza Has Had Twenty-Three Babies and Her Aunt Only Nineteen. Sweet honeysuckle hung over the garden wall and climbed up the windows of a little house in Cottage place. A stout, cheery woman, with a clear eye and a happy smile, bustled about among pots and tubs filled with plants, getting the garden patch into shape. Half a dozen tidy children gambolled about the yard. In the shade a a fat, good-natured baby a few weeks old cooed in its cradle. “It is my twenty-third,” said the woman, looking up from the plant she was potting to watch the flight of a horsefly over the infant and nodding toward the cradle. “Eh!” said the reporter, struck dumb with amazement. “My twenty-third baby,” repeated the woman, patting the fresh earth gently hut firmly with her trowel. The crowding memories of generations of spankings were in the taps. There were neither crow’s feet in her fare nor silver in her hair. She looked what she was, a woman still young and in her prime. “I am only just 42,” she said with a smile, guessing his thoughts, “ana my husliand is not much older. AVe were married when I was 14, and our first baby came along when I was just filling 15. W e had twins once. They say American women haven’t liabies like other folks. Just send them to me. I was bom in New York.” “Do you—do you like them?” stammered the reporter, still overcome. “Like whom? The babies? I love them.” The look she sent the sleeping babe left no Moubt about it. -‘lf they would only come to stay, but so many have died—three at a time were taken once. Only last summer I lost three. My beautiful lajiby.” The mother’s voice was silent as she busied herself among the plants with quivering Ups. A tear fell upon her trowel. “I have only six now,” she said. “But how did you manage—?” “They managed themselves. We tried to make a home for them, and they were fond of it. I always gave my children a party every week to keep them at home." Does it run in the family?” asked the re porter. •‘No! I was one of four. My aunt has only nineteen.
