whisper: sand now, Estelle, leave
me alone. am pleased to mediate
this morning"
Estelle arose and kissed Gena's
white cheek, promising to soon have
long chat with her.
When Gena was alone, she groaned
aloud. pressed her hands against her
head, and then starting up paced the
room backwards and forwards, giving
her deep anguish of mind vent in these
words "No longer have | sister;
alone / stand in the world; | am lost
in amazement when think Of her sub

this? Nv dear father, my heaven on
earth-and he to freely wrong his de-
voted child O, death, death, come
and snatch me from these horrible tor
ments which are racking my brain and
heart"
Gena. exhausted, threw herself upon
the couch, her eyes fixed on vacancy,
each muscle rigidly stiffened. Thus
for long time she lay perfectly life
less. When Jennie entered the room,
all traces of the anguish which had so
racked her was gone, save a languid-
ness. That evening Gena remained in
her room; she could not shake off the
gloom and sorrow which crushed her,
and trampled all her feelings into the
dust.
When the stiffness of the night
proclaimed the inmates of Right

hushed, Gena, with her servant,
Jennie sought one of the summer
houses IN the garden, to enjoy the
cool evening breeze, and relieve her
self of the atmosphere of that room
where for the two last months she had
shed so many bitter tears, and whiled
so many tedious hours The harbor
in which the two girls took shelter,
was quite a long one, running nearly
to the road which was a quarter of a
mile distant. They were soon start
ed from their reverie by the voice of
Mr.. Pitt, who appeared to be convers-
ing some one, who proved to be the
the Count de L. Gena heard their
cruel, strange words, as the two pass
ed on slowly towards the house
Count de L l see you fully un-
derstand me, said Mr. Pitt rather
loudly. ''The fact is, Abgena has
given me much uneasiness, but l in
tend to do my duty towards her-Es-
telle is the heiress to my wealth.
Gena heard no more, their voices
grew faint in the distance, and her
brain whirled in maze of excitement
That night she decided to leave her
home, and maintain herself; not even
Jennie was informed of her resolution
until she had quietly arranged every
thing, and then her beloved attendant
was made acquainted with her former
hopes, and readily consented to fol-
low the fortunes of her mistress
The day before the wedding while the
house was in great confusion, Gena
and Jennie took passage in a boat for
New Orleans, starting from there to
New York, where Gena intended to
adopt the stage, and to become an ac-
tress.

In 1915 it was introduced into Balti-

1922 into Boston, and in 1926 into
New York, when the New York Gas

In 1880 there were only four Gas

1t was not my purpose to again
trouble the public with the difficulty
between Mr.. E. NJ Yerger and myself.
But his Card, as published in his paper
ofyesterday, would seem to justify ga
few additional remarks"
After my article of Friday morning,
it was presumed by those of my friends
who professed to understand "the
code" that he would, as the only reply
that could be made thereto, either send
me challenge, or initiate hostilities
on the street. He did neither; but,
after l was arrested, and without either
a written or verbal notice of his pur-
pose, an irresponsible little boy was
employed to post a placard Upon
being informed that was ''being post
ed by Yerger," l disregarded the ar
rest, proceeded with a shot gun to the
corner, where i supposed, of course,
that / would find him standing by and
defending his poster; but he failed to
make his appearance; and, it seems
from his own statement, that he was
concealed in the most efiectual man
ner'-not so much, 1 apprehend, to
"avoid the officers of the law" as to
eyade a conflict which he would have
it believed, he was 80 anxious to meet.
He was informed by his friends that
/ was proceeding to the corner armed
as stated; he knew that / was there,
and he might have heard me denounce
him as I considered his conduct de
served. Nor did he leave his hiding
place until / was forced back by my
friends and by the "officers ofthe law"
He then, in double quick time, jumped
into q Garage in waiting and went back
Of the hill, where he must have known
thatI could not reach him, re-arrested
and in actual custody as was new
ertheless, made an effort to do 50, but
not, however, upon the assurance that
he would pay my bond, for had that
been the only motive which controlled
my action, ] well knew the value of
his endorsements" Furthermore, l
have to say, that no such assurance was
given, and the statement that it was, is
simply false.
In conclusion, have the pleasure
of knowing that all my friends are sat
isfed with my conc .ct throughout the
whole affair. To them, and the public
generally, submit this plain and un-
vanished statement Of facts

it will be the rival Of the Tribune as
