After being lost for fifty long years,
or more the celebrated corner stone
(if lh Huitiniore & Oliio railroad ha i
lu en found nnd Is ready lo 1"' viewed
us one of t lio sights of a century al
most pone. docs seem strange that
Much an important und valuable relic
ns a mil mud corner stone should be
lost for years and years. One would
think that personal pride on the part
of a ureal corporation would have pre
served its local ion in Its arrhhe. but
"hat Is everybody'!! business proved
in this pace that nobody attended to
it. Several months ago, some Keeker
for the unnsiiul developed the fact that
the H. & (). would be seventy year'
old on .Inly I, lsi'H. .. search of llal
liinore libraries and the stalls and
Mores of ancient book sellers brought
to light some very Interesting data and
then the question wus asked, "Where
Is tin. corner stone?'' Everybody knew
that there bad bepn a corner stone laid
with such Impressive ceremony and
pomp of parade, that books have been
written about it, but no one know
v here ft was. i he oldest employe had
forgotten, und there was not hint; i"
the maintenance of way archives ilia'
would loi nip it. Then came a search.
It must be in Haltimore and near
where the Hist rails were laid. An old
pamphlet gave the first ,.u,.. The H.
O. began near what Is now Mount
Clare Junction, near the great 11. ii
simps in the southwestern part of
l-all iinoie. After several weeks' pa
tient search, the nly railroad corner
.'tone was located, three f t below the
Mil face nnd Vi ry near the pnsout
tracks, steps were at once taken to
protect it from vandals and now a
new base is ,pig chiseled from mar
ble, an ornamental Iron fence forced,
and before long this s venty year old
relic will be lifted from its' under
'.round restins place atnl be exhibited
( ii the exact spot where the venerable
t'hurles Carroll of Currollton laid it
almost three-(inarters of a century ago.
The iti t i it ions are perfect and th
(ontiiits ale us described in a pam
phlet issued soon after the Important
( vent. This pamphlet ciiraius a ca.e
fully w rit ti n story, and some interest
inc extracts are taken from it.
It says: "The celebration of the

of the foundation stone, betica'h which
and parallel with the ridge, lay a long
and level plain. In which the proces
sion formed on Its arrival, facing to
wards the pavibon. The cars were
diawn up in a body on the It ft. ami
inclining towards the rear oF the pa
vilion. The Masonic bodies formed a
large hollow square around the Hist
stone. The spectacle presented froPi
the pavilion was nay and splendid in
a very hle.h degree.
"The ceremonies were conimenccd by
a prayer by the Rev. Dr. Wyatt, Ma

Heath, after an eloquent preface, read
the Declaration of Independence. The
Carrollton March, composed by Mr.
Clifton, being: then performed. Mr.
John It. Morris delivered an address
from the president and directors of the
company."
On the conclusion of the address
two boys dK .-cd as Mercuries advanc
ed to the canopy and prayed that the
prinlei.-' might lie furnish"!! with a
copy of the remarks and addiest jits'
delivered, that they might be printed
and distributed to the people.
The deputation from the Ulack

sensed Mr. Carroll the pick, spade,
stone hummer and trowel, prepared by
them for the t casion, and which lire
now in the Masonic Temple in Daltl

Next came th stone cutters, who
prepared the stone while ('.en. Carroll

The writer of the pamphlet then give
a ilHailcd aceoii'i: of the prueeedill'ts

(len. Arthur MacArlhiir. who coin
teanded a brigade tit the capture of
Manila, lias a imputation as a fighter
gained from tin civil war, says the
M.lwaukee Sentinel. lie was known
as the "boy colonel," A veteran of
the 2llh Wisconsin raid recently:
"When the governor inadu him our
adjutant, in I8ti2, he was only 17, an I
small for li is aso. H.s voice hud not
fully chaiired. It sounded like the
crowing of a young rooster in its first
eii'orls. We made all so'ts of fuu of
him, and fell that we hud been im
posed n pen by the governor. Wi
wantt 1 a man, not a stripling, for ad
jutant an ollice almost us important
as t hat of a colonel.
"You ( glit to have heard the boy
on dress parade. His chicken voire
didn't rca'di half-way down the line
when h" piped out: To the rear; open
older; march 1' and when he minced lo
ibe .(titer of the regiment, moved out
in front and said, 'First sergeant tu
i iio front and center, march!' there
was n broad grin on the faces of a
thousand men and a scowl on that of
t'ae colonel. The lirst colonel had seen
s 'i'vlcc and wanted a competent man
lot adjutant. The n'ght utter the I'r-d
til ess parade he sail: '1 shall write to
the governor to send me a wooden P' 'ii
for adjutant.' The boy heard some of
the colonel's conmunls, and he could
see that the men w. re guying him. It
cut him to too quick.
"Til show t.t"ii thai I can f.i;h'.
anyway. Thin maybe they'll tome to
like yie better." .-aid the boy. as lie
brushed away s'..".iething damp from
l is soft cheek."
Another story from the same lips
brings out the qualities this boy had
for winning the love of his men. At
K'-ncsaw the ut.ran who tells the
Mory was badly wounded nnd left be
hind when the I'llh was urd"red ba k
after the repulse. Young MacArthur
was in command, aLd when he learned
that Sergt. Dunn w..s among the miss
ia:; in buttle, he sent a lib- of men to
the front again to search for him. S;t:d
l.e: "If he is wounded and alive, set:
I hut he is given in charge of tint sur
:.eon at once; if dead, bring his body
n ar. 1 it shall be rent honi"." The
liiougjit was the Impulsive one of a
l:oy. but I'-e act that if a lirm and
leady commander.
MacArthur won his eagle. He was
no accidental colonel. At the first
;reat battle of the regiment, Stone
river, the colonel and lieutenant-colonel
w.-ie both absent and the rom
li.atid of the 21th dioived upon the
n.aj'ir and the boy adjutant. The rcgi
i:..i:t was in Sheridan's division,
whiie it served all through the war.
At Stone River the thifo brigade com
manders of the division were shot
down (arly in the fight, and the regi
ments were left to themselves. Jt was
a terrible straggle too wtll known t i
I e repi ated here. The 24th came out
with 2"0 i:i':i In the ranks, having lost
almost i:s many in the light. This
was in 1S'12, a few months after tin
debut of the I oy ad;t.i..iit. Il was
not guy.il an;, more, and after the nex't
battle, bloody Chiekaniauga, the regi
ment looked up to bin- as a feature it
couldn't do witiiou'. and remain the
same.
Then at the battle of Missionary
Ridge he .appeil it all by a deed of
personal heroism and presence cf m'.' l
only to be expected of a true soldier.
The 21th, under Fhtt Man's lead, s.art
"d on the signal to go up the slope at
double quick, for the emergency called
for rapid action oa the line. They
rnrriid the first of the enemy's de
fenses, nnd after a short breathing;
spell orders, came to go ahead. It w:n
'.'phlll work in the double sense, for
the meu had to fight for right of wav
iiiid struggle up tiie steep and rugge 1
hillside under fire. Finally the color
1 carer dropped down from physical ex
hattst'oii, while the line was strung out,
wavtriug as to which course to take
to avoid the iiemy's fire and the oi.-.-tniitions
in the path. MacArthii-,
still adjutant, was at the front, and.
seb'.ing the ilag in the hands of the
prostrate liai.r, unfurled it and
rushed forward, the actual leader of
tiie whole line.
For the deed of Missionary Ridge
lie I oy adjutant was promoted to the
tank of major, a field officer's position,
'wo grades below that of colonel. A
uia.i.ir (ommands a battalion of the
iiglm.r.t when in action, and of'en
v !i-:i the regiment is small there are
but two field officers and the major is
s.cond in command. Thp Hth had
become so depletul that there were but
twj field otlicrs after Missionary
Ridge. Puring the Atlanta campaign
it was I" I bv a lieutenant colonel, and
at the storm. i. a of Kee.esaw that office

1SC4. lb" 24th Wisconsin, led by Cnl.
MacArthur. was one of the seven regi
ments which made history that day on
Carter's Hill in the famous charge of
Opdytke's brigade. That, ton, is a well
known story, bet ere to bear ret ailing.
The main line of breastwoiks In front
of Carter's hill was breached by a des
