DONALD M’LEGlxIlBU Ho'TVaa a Lender In the Canadian Tnvnr- rcction of tho Thirties, anil Was Pur sued Wlthont 8uccer.» by Gen. Score—A Charmed Life. [Special Correspondence.] Cleveland, Jan. 24.—Died in this city, at the advanced age of 100 vears and 0 months, Gen. Donald McLeeA who some time ago was a very remarkable man. Remarkable not only for his great ago, but for tho almost incredible adventures through which he had passed. It is sel dom tnat men who mesl with the Iurgeet share of hardship and adventure live to great ago, but Gen. McLeod was an ex ception in tills respect. I was well ac quainted with this remarkable man. and often conversed with him in regard to his earlv life. Some of these reminis- cences^vhicb have never been published cannot fail to bo of general interest. Gen. Mcljeod was, as would bojudged by his name, a Scotchman. He was bom at Middle Rosse, near Aberdeen, and received a liberal education at Aber deen-university. His home was but a few miles from that of Lord Byron’s infancy, and tho latter was often seen by young McLeod until ho grew to man hood. At the time of the war of 1812 be tween this country and Great Britain tho general was more t han 80 years old and a eoldier in the regular British army. Ho fought with bravery at Lun dy’s Lano ami several other battles of that notable struggle, and at its close was transported with the other British troops to the continent of Europe, and immediately engaged with Wellington In the masterly campaigns which crushed the power of the first Napoleon. He was actively engaged as captain of light hus sars in all the battles preliminary to Waterloo, and took a brave part in that memorable contest. “Have you any vivid memories of theso great battlesV” I asked. “Very vivid, indeed,” he answered, “but the common soldier cannot judge much of what is going on. His vision is very limited. He is only taken up with the work before him, and has no time to reflect upon or contemplate the .grand proportions of the conflict. So far as I can now remember, there was noth ing peculiar in my part in the battle of Waterloo. It was tho same old story over again—a constant round of firing and marching and countermarching un til the victory was announced. I had no idea that a victory had been won until that time, i only knew that my company and my regiment had' not re treated;' it wus only when I read the accounts of the battle during the next . few days that I gained any adequate ides of { ts magnitude.” covered the complexion of their pris oner, their chagrin can be better imag ined than described. They were baffled, and, returning in vain,.sought for the driver of the mule. Immediately upon the general’s leav ing Prescott a mob of Tories broke open his printing office and throw' tho typo into the river and broke the presses. Iii3 faithful wife, with her four children, was left behind in a perfect horror of suspense. She did not know what she should do for daily sustenance, but, worso than all, she feared that harm had happened to her husband. At length, when he was released by the United States authorities,. he sent for her to THE BIG SUGAR FRAUD.

M’LEOD. | A few years subsequent to the war vith Napoleon, Gen. McLeod emigrated with his family to Canada, and at length brought up at the town of Prescott, and became editor and proprietor of the principal paper there. Tho despotic treatment of his fellow’ Scotchmen by the British officials in Canada cal loci forth a just condemnation from his pon; and when at length tlie revolution of 18S7-83 came, ho was. by natural selec tion, made one of the most trusted lead ers. As the rebellion grew in magni tude, he. was given a major general’s commission, and look part in the thick est of the fray. When the struggle be came hopeless and the patriots were executed daily with great iiarbarity on every hand, he fled to the United States, and here immediately became the es pecial object of search by the United States authorities. Con. Scott, who had been his friend, was ordered to arrest him for violation of tho neutrality laws; and our hero being fearful that, if he were captured, ho would be delivered up to his merciless ad versaries across the lakes, took every precaution to secrete himself. But Gen. Scott was not easily to be baffled; he hunted his man up and down the entire length of tho frontier twifce; and the second time, in Detroit, entirely worn out and being assured that he would neither be delivered over to the British authorities nor severely punished here, Gen. McLeod gave him self up, and was soon after released from custody. The history of this remark able chase is os fascinating as a romance. The redoubtable Scotch general seemed to lead a charmed life. At one place where it was thought he had stopped with a known sympathizer with the patriot cause, the Americans made a thorough search of the house. When they came to the second floor, tho owner of the house showed them every apartment, and permit ted them to search thoroughly until they came to the last one. “Here,” said he, “is my old moth ers room. It will, probably not be worth your while to spend much time in search ing it.” And throwing open tho door he showed the old lady in cap and gown, with her back to the door, busily engaged in knitting. Tho officers did not wish to search the room, and the general, who was thus disguised, was passed. This incident happened in what is now called cue |? raniuin house in tbi^ city. At another time our hero rode in the boot of a stage coach for more than twenty miles withfGen. Scott, who was hunting him, in the body of tho coach. It is unnecessary to state, perhaps, that the driver was a patriot sympathizer. On still another joccacion, when the "pursuers of the general were close upon him, he overtook a negro who was mak ing slow progress along the road with * V lame mule. The general was driving fine team. A bargain was immediate., struck and exchange made, on the con cation that they should exchange over coats and hats also, and that tho darky should drive on as fast as the team could travel. r i iio g< neral’s pursuers' crane up to tho. mute teamster; hut seeing the carefully d scribed cap of the general in tire distance, they ;:.id all attention to it; and when they c sir are eh a.-, oi . -ml The News of the Bay Given In a Terse and Spicy Manner.

Hi? wife, who inherited the secret, survives him. f' . . , One of the most interesting features of the case- is the report of Mrs. El. M.

Oiieday it was reported ti> her that there was to "be an experiment. The professor received eight barrels of unrefined sugar, for refining, for which he was to get $3,000 from the company if he executed the Work, successfully. Mrs, Haillie was sitting in her room one day, just over the' room occujHod by Mr. and Mrs. Howard, -Mrs. Friend’s fat he* and mother. The register was open, and Mrs. Baillie heard voices in the apartment below. The pro fessor was talking to his wife. Tins is Mra Baillie’s account of the conversa tion: ‘"Well, Ollie, that was a good day’s work, wasn’t it? said he, atid I could OFFICE-SAVANNAH, GA. Georgia Slate Grange Fe tllizer.

You see we can'make tho box as big as we w-ant to,’ and they all laughod. They talked on that way for an hour or two, and I learned just how they ‘refined’ the - sufjar by ‘electricity.’ The professor had. a little box of a machine in his room by which he purified refined sugar in email quantities. This he put into his machine and ground out, the ‘company’ thinking It was the' raw sug&r they liad sent, when Mra- Friend had simply let that he. 'mashed through the sink. I remember the professor said: “ ‘Why, I don’t care if they box me up and nail me into my machino and pile in their raip; sugar behind me. I have the refined, sugar in there, ancFall I have to do is to toss it out to them through the .funnels.’", * » . . . There seems to have been some dissat isfaction after that with the dressmaker, whom’ they invited to go elsewhere, and Mrs. Baillie retorted that if they were going to do any more sugar refining they would better keep the register shut.

MARKWALTERS STEAM Marble and Granite ; Wort Now it transpires that stepfather How ard, who has carried on the scheme with his daughter Miss Friend since the pro fessor’s death, divided lria time between the “refinery” and street preaching. On wee* days lie would devote himself to the former, and on Sundays he would sing psalms and preach in South Brooklyn, or from the steps of the city hall in Now York. Jicamvhile his scientific son-in-law kept ♦ table in New York with twenty-seven horses in it Yet it is said that his coupe bills outside the use of his stables were usually $250 por month. He regarded brandy the only beverage for a gentleman and a scientist, and would only drink the liest.

Bragg, of Alabama, for reappointment as au inter state rail: oxd commissioner. And yet among tire other mysteries connected with this celebrated Electric Sugar company, there is u mystery about this death of the professor- • A man who used to go about with Friend in New York declares that the death was very sudden and surprising to him; that he called several times during the illness, but that he was told the professor was too ill to see him. Ho says that he saw a box carried away from Friend's bouse on a cheap rickety bob sleigh. On the front seat were two men, while two others sat One of these men, he says, was Howard. This was Friend’s funeraL Then the question arose in the observer’s mind, “Was the professor dead after all?’ After Friend’s death Mr. Howard, who had been meek and lowly, and dressed in shabby apparel as lie preached the Gospel from the city hall steps, blazed out in great style. The police were notified that there were suspicious circumstances connected with the funeral, and looked into the matter, but nothing came of it. Mrs. Friend went to Milan, Mich., the horses-and furniture in New York were sold, and Mr. and Mrs. Howard went to lire a^ the Madison Avenue hotel in New York city. # * # It has also transpired that Professor Friend played the sugar refining game on the CniGagoans in 1880. He kept his secret till $80,000 had been paid m for shares, and then put off inquirers by showing them beautiful samples of re fined sugar made from glucose.
