CONCORD, NJ C, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1899
GEN. WADE HAMPTONS mss
cape To Be Bebaildt By Friends.
The burning of the home of the
venerated and the gallant eld mili
tary, as well as civil, hero. Wade
Hampton, brings a pang of pity and
regret to his hosts of admirers.
The best account we have seen is
that in the Atlanta Journal, which
we copy below. The dispatch bore
date of May 3rd : I
"The .home- of General Wade
Hampton, 'Southern Cross,' was
bnrned at an early hour yesterday
morning. The origin of the fire is
believed to have been incendiary and
General Hampton suspeoti a negro
servant whom he recently discharged
for theft. M
The house was1 built of brick
taken from the Hampton mansion,
burned when the Union army passed
through. It was erected by the
general's slaves and! has been the
home of himself and daughters since
the war.
During the night General Hamp
ton awoke and saw a light shining
under hia door. He at first supa
posed the snn had risen, but the
light flickered,1 so, he strapped on
his cork; leg and went to the door.
He found the home in flames. He
aroused his daughter, who was still
sleeping, and some servants.
It was too late to save anything
of value! ezoept the swords of three
generations of Hamptons. These
the old, warrior secured himself.
Daring , the height of the fire
General Hampton heard the cries of
a pet collie dog, of which he and his
daughter were very fond. It was in
a room that was enveloped.
Although over eightysone years
of age, he made a dash at the doer
and opened it, and was driven back
by the fire and again attempted to
enter, when the flames licked about
his face, burning oft the hair.
Speaking of it afterwards he said
he had never made a more desperate
struggle in his life.
The loss he feels most keenly .is
his library, which was probably the
most valuable private collection in
the South, one of his books being but
twentyfour years younger than the
printing press. Six thousand vols
nmes, the choicest of his libraries
wes destroyed. He also lost all his
private papers and an English sads
die, the only. one of its kind in the
oonntry, which he rode all through
the war and has nsed on every pa
rade in which he has ever partio
pated.
" But,' said he this evening, "I
will ride in the parade at the Con
federate reunion at Charleston ne XI
week, if there is a parade.
''A trunk ; containing family
jewels was secured after thd fire, not
greatly damaged.
A movement is on foot tore-build
the home as a popular offering from
appreciative friends in the State.

Filipinos Driven On and On Colonel

Funs (on Wounded.
The American troops are pressing
the Filipinos from one stroighold
to another, amid the greatest diffi
culties of an unfavorable country
and extreme heat.1 The brave Colo

a wound in the hand.
General Otis believes that much
of Aguinaldo'a peace effortsja play
for time, and he ia losing no time to
chastise the belligerents till they
come to terms in harmony with the
element that wants the benefits of
American protection and aid.
There seems now" no particular
indications of peace till there is a col
lapse of the forces' under Aguinaldo.
