From tb« Chicago Tribune.
There I. HtIo( within ona hundred mile* of
Chicago a venerable man who in hi, day haa
been a tar,eon, aaldter, priest and nulveralty
prefeaaor. Be wae a turgeen in the army of
the Firat Napoleon, accompanied tho emperor
dorin, the campaign agafnat Kuaila and wa,
present at the great Conqueror', downfall at
Waterloo. Aa a priest hia history la of special
Interest to the Catbolloa and old lotilen of
Chicago, as he waa the second nun, Marquette
being the first, to celebrate mass within the
limits of this city. This man Is the Bov. Louis
Joseph Neyron, professor of anatomy and
medicine In the university of
Notre Dame, near South Bend,
lad. Father Neyron la in hia 00th year, but
he ahoKt none of the usual signs of advanced
age. Hia intellect is as clear salt was fifty
years age, be dee* not nae spectacle, or a cans,
1. ns cnct as a soldier, and, in a word, is in
complete control of all hia faculties. Oaring
the commencement exercises of tho university
his appearance on the campus attracted the
atteutiun of hundreds of the visitors when
seme of the students mads his identity known.
He was walking np the shady avenue leading
to the plaaaa or the main building attired In
hia cassock and a black slouch bat, and wai
accompanied by a pet terrier that is hia con-
slant companion in hia walks. Every one
who aaw him remarked hia striking resem
blance to the pictures of Victor Hugo. He Is
above the medium height, has broad shout*
dels, surmounted by a large, weU-ahapod
bead, partially bald at tho top and covered
at the sides and back with Bowing white
locka. Ilia heard is almost white. When he
noticed that he was attracting attention ho
turned from the walk and went over to a
fountain in the centra of the grounds, closely
followed by the dog. The priest sstdowa on
the cuibirg of tho fountain, and at a signal
from him the dog jumped into tbs water aud
began to awim about.
Kevetal well known Chicago people, aceom-
panled by a Tribune reporter, went over to
talk to him. lie laid: "tfyaolf and my
friend Jack here are taking our mornlug
stroll. Jack la a smart dog and is a terror to
rats and snakes. He has a special fancy for
catching snakes and shaking their heads
“Were yon at the battle of Waterloo,
fatbeit" seme one in the group abraptty ask
ed.
The old manjooked at the quoatloner a mo
ment and replied: “Well, now, who has been
telling yon abont me? Yea, sir, I was at the
battle of Waterloo, and I was there u a sol
dier.”
“You must be well sdvsnced In years?”
“1 am in my Olith year, but I have a brother
in France who is several years older than my-
self, and Isn’t married yet, either.”
A Trlbnno reporter sought the venerable
priest In hu room in the infirmary of the uni-
veralty:
"Won’t yon kindly favor me with aeme of
your reminiscences of the First Napoleon,
the campaign against Russia and the battle of
Waterloo?” aakod the icribe.
“Ho yon are a newspaper man, eh? Well,
yon must excuse me from talking at any length,
for I have many time* refuted to be Inter
viewed. Of what use can my storie. and opin
ions he to the public? What you would ask of
me hat all been recorded In history, and the
nanallons or opinions of a poor old mgn situ
ated aa I am would be of no ns* to any one.”
“Did yon know Marshal Ncy personally?"
“Indeed I did, to my sorrow.”
“There must have been n great many sterlee
afloat to the elToct that Marshal Bey was nev
er executed, bnt was allowed to escape aad
that he came to Mttla Ie this oonntry ”
“Yes, I have beard a etory to that effect. It
is as amusing os it Is ridiculous. I am positive
beyond any donbt that he was shot, I had
comrades In somo of the companies of soldiers
ftom which the detail of men was drawn for
the execution. Depend upon it that, had the
men to whom he said ‘My comarades, fire!’
been disposed to let him escape, the English
would have seen to It that they did not.
“Did the soldiers sympathy** with Nay in
hU downfall r
‘If they did they Indulged In a bit of false
sentimentality. Ney was a traitor, nothing
but* traitor, to hi* sovereign, to his country,
bis own honor, and the conldlug soldiers
whom he hoodwinked and voluntarily turned
over to Napoleon to be slaughtered at the
battle of Waterloo. He richly deserved hia
fate, and I don’t believe that the aad remnant
of the worn-out army that he betrayed shed
many team over him.”
Nnr'a TRKACUKUY.
11 Were yon with Ncy’* army whan he tamed
it over to Napoleon?”
“1 waa, and I well remember the day that
Ney's set of treachery took place. Noy’s and
the straggling army of Napoleon met at Otoe
bridge, batter known nt the time as the Bridge
of the Holy Ghost. Napoleon's army wae en
camped a few milea from the bridge opposite
our lines. The morning after onr encampment
we aaw some flags of trace In advance of Na
poleon’s army, and It was then that tha men
first began to anspcct Ney’s plans, bnt the tut-
S ldontwero not even whispered. Soon the
ags disappeared, and Ney gave orders to pre
pare for an attack. We were prepared to attack
and marched on to the bridge. When we reach,
fd lb* opposite aid* of the brldg* w* noticed
about a doxen men advancing from Napoleon’s
army on horseback bearing flags of truoo. Our
army, which all told did not exoeed 80,000
men, cam* to a halt. The men on horseback
advanced and the center one of the group
K roved to be Napoleon himself. At sight of
im Ney and hia atalf dismounted. Napoleon
also dismounted, and waa warmly embraced
by Ney and his officcra. Of coarse * shoot in
honor of Napoleon went up from our ranks.
Well, history haa recorded the net. We were
foiced to combine with Napoleon's army of
boys between thn ages of 18 and 20 years and
go on to Waterloo and defeat”
“Wen yon taken prisoner at Waterloo?”
“Yes, all hough I might have escaped had I
not stopped In my flight to attend to the
wonnde of an officer to whom I waa mneh at
tached, Gen. Pnpuno. Aa I was daihlng
along on my hone, dodging n storm of ballets,
I saw Ih* General stretched upon tha gronnd,
blinding from a fatal wound in the ahonlder.
1 dismounted to drees the wound, and while I
waa doing ao a aquad of Pro aslant came upon
me and captured me. They stripped me of
nearly all my clothing and what money I had
and tnrned me over to the English army, when
there was a lack of surgeons, nearly all the
English tnrgaona having deserted their net's.
General Lorton wa* the commander of the dir-
lslcn tonhieh I was assigned, aud I wa* treated
by him aad his army with the almost kind
ness and gentlemanly courtesy. The general
allowed me a stipend, and pat nans of tha
nsnal restrictions of priaonen of war noon
me. When I was taken ti Peril by tho Eng
lish I found mjaelt n complex prisoner, seta

rons* I was in Ney’s deserting army, and n
prisoner of the English because I was taken
while fighting thim. However, the French
minister of war knew that I waa with Napela-
oa against my wlU, aad ha forthwith amlgaed
me to doty a* aargeon-ia-ehtsf to the Firat
regiment of artillery. I went to report this
•Migument to tbs English gener.L and he
positively rotated to ramoder me. Htasid.
with a good-natured laugh: ’No. Neyron, you
•re onr rntaoBv, and we need pnaooora of
yoarnrofearinn badly Just now. Therefore. I
will change the programme. I hereby order
«m aent to minister t* the surgical want, of
the army at Dalai* aad Dunkirk.' It Is need,
less to say that tha eider waa carried out. In
fact I never saw tha French mtnlitar of war
•gata. The English allowed me doable pay
beta tha Ume or my involuntary assignment
until I waa disc barged a* a prisoner."
“Hew did It heppen that yon became a
priest*’’
“Well, to begin with, I scat a soldier against
my will, bnt at tha conclnsioa of the war I
made np my mind that I weald eidier be an
officer in the regular army, or what wa* left
the regular army, or a priest After due con
sideration I chose the priesthood, and entered
the seminary of Lyons, and after studying
theology for three years I was ordained a
priest for the diocese of Bellay in the spring
of 1888.”
“How did you bsppen to join the American
minion ?”
"In the year 1835 Bishop Brnte,nf Vincennes
Ind., sent sn appeal to the young priests
of France asking inch of them as hsd the
spcstelic spirit to volunteer for the western
minions. I recognized the appeal aa a voice
calling me from home to do the work of my
Matter in a foreign land. Bo did a jc—
friend of mine, Father Shafer. Wo obta
leave from onr bishop to join tha American
minion, and forthwith started to loin Bishop
Bmle. I liked Bishop Brule, because, like
myself, he bad been a physician and surgeon
before becoming a prices. In the early spring
of 1836 Father Shafer and myself arrived at
Vlncennea and were weloomea by the bishop.
Father Shafer was forthwith aent to Chicago
and myself to New Albany, Ind.
MiaaioNAar duty and cholesa.
Bnt in one year, during 1836,1 had been on
missionary doty in noarly every part of Illi
nois, Indiana and part of Kentucky. The rav-
ages of the cholera in Kentucky rendered my
services necessary there, and mauy poor vic
tims died in my arms while I was administer-
irg the list sscraments to them. In 1837 Fath
er Hbafor died and was buried somewhere in
»>•* villsge of Chics go. Bishop Brete sent me
to succeed him, with the understanding that
aa toon as Bishop Kossti, of 8L Louis,
tent a priest to Chicago I was to
report back at Vincennes, I was
stationed st Chictgo not quite five weeks
when Father Bt, Cyr, of 8t Louis, arrived
there, having been tent to take charge of the
minion by Biehep Bosati. Thus, yon tee I
was the second psttor of the present great
Catholic community of Chicago, nut for a
long time, it is tree, bnt I don’t think mtuy
people in Chictgo know that I was ever
prirat in charge there, the general Impression
prevailing that Father St. Cyr was the first
priest who hsd charge of the mission. Soon
after my return to Vincennes I went with the
Bight Brv. Bishop Odin, first bishop of Gal-
veitot-, lo the Texas mission, arriving in Nsw
Orleans Christmas day in 1837, and In Gal-
veaton new } ear’s day. After spending ono
>tar In Texts I returned, at tho request of
my bishop, to my first parish, Now Albany,
Ind, where I built the church of the Holy
Trinity, and was pastor of Holy Trinity par-
I, h for twenty-coven years, I retlgnod the
parish and came here twenty years ago on ac-
count of the rheumatism, which I had .con-
traded while traveling through the malarial
•wampe doing missionary duty. Boon after I
came here my rheumatism left me, and I do-
elded to remain here. I teach my medical
class every day, and take great pleasure in
doing so. I wouldn’t know what to do with
myself unless I was actively engaged in some
duty.”
“what ia your opinion of Napoleon I?”
“He was the greatest soldier that ever lived.
He had sound, good qualities, but the bad ones
predominated in hia character. True, he
fougnt at lint for the glory of France, but fi
nally he sacrificed France, hu faithful ail-
diert, and even himself to his own Insatiable
ambition 1 look upon him as the deliberate
muidorer of thousands upon thousands of
brave soldiers whom he marched over tho
anow covered mountain! ofltnaaia for no other
reason than to increase bis own glory. What
cans* bad ho for making war upon the emper
or and people of Bussla? No, the blood and
bonea of the Frenchmen whom he left lying
on mountains, In valieya and roadways dur
ing that terrible winter march called to heav
en for vengeance, and brought down upon his
head the bitter canes of ;the thousands or
widows and orphan* he had made in France.
He bad no consideration for the comfort of hit
•olditrt—In fact he hadn't for his own. He
ha ' no car* except for the advancement of hia
personal glory. No, bit soldiers did not love
Urn, dnringand after the Russian etmpalgu I
mean; they detested and cursed him.’’
“Do yon think he had much religions fool
ing In nit composition?-’
“lie undoubtedly bad. He was a straugo
being, a veritable mystery In himself. With
all hia ambitious scheming he never for a mo-
meat forgot hit daily religious training, and
I don’ttbink he ever neglected to ofibr up a
S layer of tome sort morning and evoning. Ho
ecland, when a prisoner on He. Helena, that
the happiest day of hit life was that upoa
which he made hu first commnnion.’’
Father Neyron It the chaplain of tho slston

Naw Yobk, July 9 —[Special.]—Miguel
Chacon, the Cobtn negro who shot end killed
bis mistress, Mrs. Mary WUllsms, on June 80,
1884, wu banged at tho Tomb* prison this
morning. The drop fell at 7:40 end death was
almost instantaneous. Three minutes after
the rope was cut the doctors pronounced lire
extinct. The execution wu witnessed by
only forty-six people, and waswoU conducted.
A squad of one hundred police
surrounded the prison, bnt their services
were not required, at very few
people congregated around the structure.
At the time of bis crime Chacon had plenty
of unrefined mental vigor; but when taken to
the gallows he wu little above Idiocy. The
cause of his mind’s rntn wu that, having un
intentionally caused the death of the woman
he loved, he wu convicted and doomed Jnst
it though he had wilftuly stain her. Chacon
had been an industrious clgarmaker for three
years in thta city. He wu born in Cuba. Hia
aaaociates, nnabie to matter hia Spanish name,
Anglicised it Into Jack Horn, and by this title
he was known. He was coal black, and bad
all the physical characteristic! of a full blood
ed negro. In New York be boarded with
Monro WIBIama, a colored porter of the
Manhattan railroad. It wu not long
before the Cuban fell vlolontly In love
with Williams’! wife, Maria. Willi* us and
bis wife had a hard time of it to agree, and
quarrel succeeded quarrel until they separated,
Chacon's attentions to the woman made her
husband jealous. Williams trotted her shah-
blly, and finally abandoned her without meant
for subsistence. Aa aeon u the separation np-
K ared to be final, Chacon and Mrs. Williams
gtn to live together. They tecurod rooms
st 128 West Twenty eeventh street, a large
double tenement house, well kept and order
ly, that contained forty-eight colored families.
Here the pair were supposed to be husband
and wife, and all accounts agree that they
lived in perfect harmony. Thors can bs
no question tbat it wu a genuine love ro-
■nance for poor Chacon, bowevor Mrs. Williams
may have felt about it. He srua good work
man and devoted his entire income to making
a home. He bought the furniture of their
looms, and both ol them dressed extravagant
ly. Even during hit subsequent trial he wore
a different salt evory day, and was always
scrupulously exact In dross. He wu known
u the Cnban dandy.
For ten months everything seemed togo well
with Chacon, and he heard no word about the
return of the hatband. One day MrAWllliams
told him that she bad made np trith Monroe,
aud that Chacon must go away. The poor fel
low wu utonnded. The order wu perempto
ry, and he prepared to obey. His mind wu
doubtless filled srith angry thoughts against
the returning husband, bnt It it wholly
improbable that he meditated any
injury to hit sweetheart. This was
on the20tb of June, 1884. In tha evening he
went to the honu In Twenty seventh street
to get his clothes. Mrs. Williams had agraed
to prepare them for him, and in fact worked
haid all day rendering farewell uivlcot to her
lover’s linen. When Chacon climbed the four
long flight* to hit room he fonnd Williams
there before him. Williams anoke to him In
solently, orderlngHilm to get nit clothes and
begone at once, Chacon replied with equal
kaolence, and a violent quarrel began. Cha
con uya that Williams came at him with an
open knife. The Cuban drew a revolver and
fired at Williams. Tweahota inflicted no ln-
i ury. At the instant the third shot wu fired,
Ira Williams appeared in the doorway and
the bullet entered her heart. Her death wu
instantaneous. Chacon ran down stalra and
escaped. Williams wu unharmed.
Tbcehasc and capture of Cbuon on the fol
lowing morning wu remarkable. Deteetivc
Price had charge of the pursuit. He could get
no adequate description of Chacon, but learn
ed that he had an uncle who kopt a saloon la
Bleecker street. This clew availed him little
but by s peniatont search through the numor-
OUB donee balls and groggerie* frequented by
negroc* In tbat part cf the city, he finally
found tbat Chacon bad formerly lived at 70
Spring street and had friends there. It wu
midnight, but the detective hired a negro to
make inquiries if Chacon had been there dur
ing the evening. Aa a matter of fact he had
S ue hack to Twenty-seven thatreet to lure of
n. Williams's condition. The detective hid
hlmaelfln nbaument opposite and waited.
An hoar or two passed. The honu
across the way wu all dark exeept one dormer
window on the top floor. At lut * man earns
down the atnet and stopped at a tamp post.
Prtee could see that be wu a negro. The man
looked abont him n moment and then clipped
into n hallway of No. 70. A figure passed In
front of the light in the dormer window. The
detective unt to the station for help, and four
rntn responded. Leaving three la the streets,
be and Patrolman O'Brien entered the house.
Opening the door on the top landing, Price
entered a room that had five beds in it ranged
against the wall. Four of them wore occnplod
by nrgreea; the fifth empty, looked u if bad
recently been Iain upon. The font negroes
shotted little resentment at the intrusion, bet
gave no Information concerning the miming
man. The empty bed wu tar the window,
and on a stand beside it a kerosene
lamp wu burning. Price crawled
through the window and ont
up on the roof. A man wu hiding behind a
chimney at the ridge pole. The roof wu atoep
and elated. Tbedetectlv* clambered np the
chimney and grabbed the man br hia feet, or
dering him to oome along. They started
down the roof together, bnt when midway the
negro attempted to break sway, and they both
•lid straggling dawn to the gutter. Prico's
feet had gone over the edge ana he wu get
ting a start toward the pavement, when he
seised bold of the dormer window with one
baud, holding to hit prisoner with the other.
Fol’crmsn O'Brien came to the reicue and
pallid Price npu far that he could brace hia
feet In the goiter. Then they both pulled the
prisoner Into the room. It was Chacon. Ha
had only hia night ahirt and stockinga on, and
wae nearly hrlpleu from fright at hie narrow
escape from death.
Since his arrest Chacon hu been desper
ately courageous, and hat never given np
hope. Ilitroauel commanded him not to
talk and he hu obstinately obeyed. On vari
ous occulona when he hu been uked about
the cau he hu npHtd in Imperfect English:
“I do not think abont this cau. I think only
of the woman I loved so much.” Tbs idea
which ran In hia bend nntil hia neck wu
broken wu that, u be had not meant to kill

A WILD CAT HUNT*

room, and, ilttlng down, began to *klmover the
exchange*.
"I fee," be remarked "that the Mexican wild-

"We’ll call it the Baxoo," I suggested.
"Ye*," he said, "call it the Bazoo. It wu when
I wu editing the Bazoo. A lot of us fellows de
cided to go out in tho mountain* ona wildcat
bunt. Well, we hunted all night, but didn’t catch
the cat About three o'clock in the morning I got
tired and so did Bob—"
"Burn*," I suggested.
"All right," said my friend, "we will call him
Bob Burns. Bob and I decided to let the old cat
go, and we crawled into the hollow ofa big tree,
curled up and went to sleep. We awoke Just after
daylight, feeling like a pair of stewed witches, and
started for home. In a little while we came to a
branch and Bob wanted to wash his face. I ob
jected, but Bob insisted. Bob stopped and I went
on. I had gone perhaps fifty yards when I chanced
to look behind me. Bob waa lying face down
ward in the branch, his head bobbtng
from side to side in a queer fashion. I remarked
ball aloud: ’Look at that blamed fooL’ I sup
posed be was trying to make me laugh. In a mo
ment his head became still and hl| body lay appa
rently lifeless, In the branch. I ran to him, palled
him out, looked into his face and above hia eye
was a small hole as if made by a ballet. I had
heard no crack of a rifle, but there waa the hole,
and I knew enough abont law to understand that
I would be suspected of mnrdor. I looked about
me. Nothing was lo be seen but the ragged moun
tain sides. It was the loneliest spot lever saw. No
linman habitation was In sight; no road, no liv
ing ereatnre, but there I stood with the body ot my
friend. I thought of the Jail and the new Iron cage
about which I had written Jesting paragraphs.
Have 1,1 thought, made Am of tha( thing ao many
times only to be Its first occupant? I coaid see the
trial. 1 could feel the hangman’s halter. What
must I do? Must I fly? No; I decided to brave it
out. I ran aa fast as I could to the nearest house
and told the people that somebody had killed Bob
Bums. In company with two men I returned to
the spot where the dead body lay. When we got
there Bob waa standing in the path wiping the
water out of hit ears. I fell on
his neck and wept tears of Joy.
He was subject to fits, and I did not know it."
"Then I’m to understand," I remarked, "if Bob
hadn't been subject to fits you would have been
hung?"
"Yea, »ir. no saved my life by having a fit."
"How about the hole over his eye?"
"A rock made that, but it looked exactly like a
bullet hole."
As my friend started back to his case he re
marked:
"Uaybe the editor of the Bazoo wasn’t carried
high about the murder of Bob Burns."
There is in Atlanta a certain printer named BUI,
who Is remarkable, first, became he weighs near
on to three hundred pound*, and, second, because
nobody ever yet got the better of the aforesaid Bill.
Once upon a time Bill was in Columbia. S. C., aud
celebrated tbo event by "throwing in a case" in
one of the newrpsper offices. Now, it happens that
Bill regards with a special dialike two things,
namely, grim death and a "table." When the
foreman called time, Bill marched up to the hook
to get hia "take" and fell heir to a "table." Bill
couldn't set it, and after vainly trying to swap it
off he walked solemnly up to the foreman and
aald: "I am expecting my valise and would like to
go down to the train and get it."
Content was given, and aa|Bill|paaied the proof
Pirns bo laid In a supply of proof paper, went to
the depot and took the first train to Augusta.
When tho conductor came around Bill took out hu
proof paper and wrote, "I am deaf and dumb.’’
The conductor sized Bill up as a fraud and set the
psfeengers to watch him. Jokes were told, won*
derful stories were related, Bill was guyed at. bnt
nothing moved the great dummy,>ho sat perfectly
still and stared out of the window. At last Augus
ta was reached, and BUI waa happy. Next morn
ing Bill waa in the Globe hotel. In walked hta
Alend, the conductor, who pointed to the bar and
made a motion as if taking a drink. He was par
alyzed when tho supposed dummy spoke np
quickly;
"Well, yes; I guess I wouldn't mind taking a
little of your liquor, as long as you were so clever
when 1 was coming over yesterday."
SOUTH CAROLINA’S NEXT GOVERNOR
Col. John Peter Richardson Believed to bo
the Coming Kan.
Columbia, B. C., July 8.—[Special]—“Do
you know who will be tho next governor of South
Carolina?" was uked your correspondent today by
a knowing politician.
"No; who?"
"Why, Colonel John Fetcr Richardson, of course.
You can safely bet all your money on him."
A not be* equally well informed cilzen said
pretty much the same thing a littlo l*tcr. Inquir
ies launched out in variona directions elicited
many replies, most of the ume tenor, namely:
Tbat Colonel Richardson ia actually the strongest
candidate for governor now before the people.
Daring the put few days a number of county con
ventions have met and selected delegations to at
tend the state democratic convention which av
scmblca In Columbia on tho 4th of August. A
large majority cf these delegates have openly ex-
pressed tneir preference for Colonel Riohardson
over all the other upiranta for the place. A num
ber of large counties in the middle and cutern
t>*rt of the state that will hold conventions the
coming week, are known to be almost solid for
Richardson. He therefore starts in the race with
no mean aggregation of strength.
