Wm TIE HolsE SroLHS3-On last
Thursday Q woman who seems 10 have
q multiplicity of names, being known
as Annie Robinson. Annie Ogbsy and.
Grace Graft, came up to this city on the
steamer James Rees from Sunisb. She
had with her horse, side-saddle, bride
and halter. To one party she said the
horse belonged to man living mile
or two from Sunfsh that he had sold
it to a gentleman here and had given
her SIS out of the purchase money,
and out of her share she was to pay the
charges on the horse; to another that
the horse had been loaned to her to
ride out in the country here and that
she was to take him back. Her siagu-
lar conduct and conflicting stories led to
her arrest, but as there was no shade Of
a charge on which to hold her, she was
discharged. ..- .s. .
Yesterday the farmer from whom she
said she borrowed the horse was in the
city, and bis account would leave the
impression that the woman had stolen
the animal. He says she came to his
house riding on the horse saying that
che had been riding for two days and
was very anxious to get to Wheeling,
and that he never saw the animal until
she brought it to his place.
The whereabouts of the woman now
is unknown. The horse is still here.
He is a dark chestnut sorrel, hind feet
white, and star in his forehead. 1t
seems almost certain that he was stolen.
Full particulars in regard to the matter
can be obtained of Alex. Wallase,
keeper Of the city lookup. !

Largest viaduct in the World.

The Verrugas Viaduct, recently con-
structed by the Baltimore Bridge Co.
on the line of the Lima and Oroya r.
R., i'll -ue Andes of Peru, is remarka-
BILE for being the highest structure OF
the kind in the world, and far surpass-
ing all others of the same class in it's
perfect system OF bracing and connec-
tions. It crosses a mountain torrent
called Agna di Verrugas, in a wild and
picturesque locality, twelve thousand
feet above the level of the sea. The
viaduct consists of four spans of the
Fink type of truss, three Of which are
100 feet long, and one, tho central
span, 125 feet long. The total length
Of the viaduct is SIS feet. The road
being located in q wild, rugged coun
try, necessarily has very heavy grades
and sharp curves. The viaduct itself
is on a grade of three feet in one hum
dred, or one hundred and fifty.six feet
to the mile. Tne surveys were made
with great difficulty ana with consid.
erable loss of life.

State, was struck on the forehead by a
stone thrown by . man named Ham

death will probably ensue. Mr. Ker-

she and her babe wore the sole survi-
vors, she had returned to wander like a
poor ghost amid the scenes Of her form
er happiness. Too proud to make anv
concessions, she had not communica.
ted with her friends-only the agent OF
whom she bought the property knew of
her return, and him she bound to Sc
crecy.
Max told how he had sought her far
and near, how anxiously Le had fol-
lowed every clue till he had traced her
to the ill.fated ship. How he had
counted every hour till she should mr.
rive, impatient to meet her with heart
overfowing with love and penitence.
How rudely he was awakened from his
dream of happiness she already knew.
Ethel had of course recognized him
when she met him after the rescue of
her boy, but would not make herself
known till she thought fitting time
had come. Max knew now what made
that voice so familiar to him, ahd that
his heart had recognized her though
his eyes did not.
Far into the nightsttis little company
assembled to witness the ceremony
made merry over the the happy reunion,
and toward the wee sma' hours left the
twice welded husband with his wife
and children in the home which had
been the scene of so much misery, but
which henceforth was to be the abode
cf.peace and happiness, where, if clouds
ever came, the sunshine of love soon
cleared it away, and the remembrance
of all they had suffered taught both to
bear and forbear, ndIto be lenient to
ward each others faults. Learning,
too, the great truth that only the weak
and erring need charity, not they who
stand alone. And so, exercising this
patience and rearing their children in
all goodness, they still walk hand in
hand up the hill of life-and when they
reach the path leading down to the val
ley may good angels guard and guide
their foorsteps till the "sleep together
at the foot, never to know sorrow or
parting more.

Only A Kiss.

Only A Kiss.
ny ELLA WHEELER.
Once. when tho summer lay OH tho hillops,
| And tho sunshine fell like u golden flame.
Out from the city's dust and turmoil
A gallant, fair-halrcd stranger camc-
Came tc rest in our humble cottage
Till the winds of autumn should blow again
To walk by the meadow and lie by the brooklct
And WOO back the strength that the town hat
slain.
was young. with the heart OF maiden
That had never been woocd; and tho stranger
Awoke that heart from its idle dreaming,
And swept the strings with master hand.
remember the thrill, and the first wild trcmor
That stirred its depth with sweet surprise
When I glanced one day at tho handsome
stranger,
And caught tho gaze of his deep, dark eyes
Ny check grew rod with its tell-tale bushes,
And the knitting dropped from my nervous
grasp;
Ho stopped, and then, a. he gracefully gave it,
He held my hand in loving clasp.
We said no word, but he knew my secret;
He read what lay in my maiden heart -
No vain concealing was needed longer
10 hide the trenor his voice would start.
We walked in the meadow and by the brooklet
My sunbrown hand in his snowy palm;
He said my bushes would shame tho roses,
And my heart stood still in blissful calm.
He stroked my tresses, my raven riuslets,
And twined them over his fingers fair;
My eyes dark splendor was full of danger,
He said, for Cupid was lurking there.
And once he held me close to his bosom,
And pressed on my lips laughing kiss;
Oh how tremble with shame and anger,
Pitiful now, as think Of this.
But in that moment thought that heaven
Had suddenly opened and drawn me in,
And kissed with passion the lips SO near me,
Nor dreamed was staining my soul with
But came a letter ono quiet evening
To the man that was dearer to mo than life
~ picture" i" he said, as he tore it open,
"Look, sweetest friend, at my fair young
wife,"
A terrible anguish, seethins anger,
Heaved in my bosom and blanched my
cheek,
And he who stood there holding the letter,
He watched me smiling, but did not speak.
I took the picture and gazcd upon it
A sweet young creature with sunny hair
And eyes Of blue. '' May the good Lord keel
you,''
I SAID aloud, "In His tender care
You who are welded and bound forever
Unto this man and met his eyes
"This sou!less villain, this shameless coward
Whose heart is black with acted lies r.
My heart swelled full Of terrible hatred,
And something ofmurder was burning there
But better feeling stole in behind it.
As I looked on the picture sweet and fair.
turned and left him, and never saw him.
Nor looked on his startled face again
AMI time has tempered my shame and sorrow
And soothed and quieted down my pain.
But always tremble, in awful anger,
That wears and worries my waning life,
When think how he clasped me close TO hii
bosom,
He-with ! lawfully welded wifs!-
When I think how I answered his light
caresses,
And clung to his neck in trance OF bliss,
Aud the tears Of lifetime and all my sorrow
Can never remove the stain OF his kiss.
