So Lily was an heiress after ALL Would

resolutely checked the half-formed con
lecture in his mind. He had put his
hand to the plough-it was too late to
look back now. Yet he wondered if
Arthur Ingoldsby would value, as he had
done the priceless treasure of Lillas'
love.
He told himself that he was glad
things had happened as they had but he
knew, spite of 1t all that he would have
felt better if Lily had pined after him,

troubling his brain further about the

"Oh," l WILL" interrupted Tom.
''Come, Nellie, I'll own up like man
you've beat me this time. Only just
straighten up this awful room, and I'll
never throw anything down again.
There, now, let's kiss and make up, as

Nellie rose, and laughing held up her
sweet mouth for kiss of peace. And
then, under the magic influence of her
deft fingers, confusion was suddenly
banished, and when Granger came
around to spend the evening, he decided
that nobody had a prettier wife or a
tidier home than his fnend Tom Carter
Wise little Nellie, having once gained
possession of the matrimonial field took
good care to keep it until Tom was quite
cured of his careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened with
a relapse, but Nellie, instead of scOlding,
only had quietly to bring it down beside
whatever Tom had tossed down, and it
was sure to be put away Immediately,
for Tom seldom failed to take the hint.
And if some other little woman, as
wise and tidy as Nellie, takes hint also,
this story will have served its purpose.

THE RAILROAD STEIKE.-About a week
ago a new Superintendent was appointed
by the Delaware & Hudson canal COM
/ pany, Rensselaer, & Saratoga division.
in place of |. Y. Baker. Among the
first official acts of the new Superintend-
ent was the issuing Of an order reducing
the wages of the section men of the
Rensselaer, s. Saratoga branch of the
aforesaid railroad from 81 so to 81 .38
per day. Although the difference of
one shilling a day seems small, the men,
who considered (and justly, we think,)
their pay small enough before the reduc-
ton, stopped work and stated that they
would not recommence unless the rail
road company allowed them 81 50 per
day as before, and would pay them for
the time they had lost. The company
attempted to get men to take their places,
but could not find any. The track was
in a fearful condition and several old en-
gineers, it is said, refused to run their
engines unless night-walkers were OBJ
tanned to supply the places of those who
had struck ''The company was, there
fore, the Salem Post says, ''obliged to
re-instate the track-walkers at their for
mer rate of wages, and pay them for the
time they had lost The matter stands
now in this way: The company refuse
to allow the men the wages they claim,
and the men refuse to go to work. A
number of the men live in houses built
on railroad lands and they are ordered
to remove, which at this season of the
year is a great hardship. In the mean
time the track which, at the best
is always safe at this season of the
year, is unworked and hundreds of lives
are risked daily. We insist that this is
justly due the hardest working men
on the railroad that they be paid enough
to support themselves and families, and
that it is also due the much abused trav-
cling public that the tracks be put in as
safe condition as the SHOWS and frosts of
winter will permit, even if it should
cost the railroad company one shilling a
man more to keep their men from star
vation and ensure the safety of their
patrons. "

A QUEER BRIDAL CoUPLE.-The Troy
Press says that, on Monday afternoon,
Mr.. A. E. Walker and Miss o. Z. Need
ham, residents of Windsor, Vt, came to
Troy on the 4:50 Troy & Boston train,
and put up at the American House.
The twain acted in very singular man
ner. Mr.. Walker, either through ignOr-
ance or design, omitted to prefix the
usual handle to his partners name on the
register, and refused to write down the
place whence they came. From other
actions, it was survised that they wish
ed to get married on the sly. Mr..
Wright, after an interview with the pair,
at their request summoned the Rev. Dr.
Sheldon, who made them man and wife.
receiving for his services the big fee of
two dollars, The Doctor found Jonath-
an and Melinda in a room heated to
roasting point, and it was needful to
open doors and windows before the rite
was performed. There was some dis
parity in the ages of the couple, the
bride being some ten years or more the
elder. They refused to eat either sup
per or breakfast at the hotel, and the
next morning sought once more the land
of Green Mountains, carrying their own
luggage-two carpet-bags Zone filled
with doughnuts, cheese, etc., to the
depot.

Appalling Incident.

On Christmas morning one cf the
saddest and most appalling incidents
occurred at Christ church that has been
known i'm this city. The morning ser
vices had been concluded, and the can
didates for confirmation, ten in number
were invited to the altar. OF these was
Miss Lizzie Spencer-a most estimable
Young lady about sixteen years of age,
daughter of Capt. w. II. Spencer-who
was occupying a seat in the middle of
the gallery to the right on entering the
church. She came down stairs and
moved up the aisles with the others, her
young face revealing the deep serious
ness which her heart felt. She ap-
preached the alter with the others, and
was confirmed according to the rites of
the church by the Right Rev. Bishop
Beckwith After the confirmation GER
emOnies, Miss Spencer returned to her
seat in the gallery, and had scarcely
taken it when her head sank forward on
the railing. Those in the vicinity at
tachcd no significance to this, imagining
that it was merely an act of devotion,
when suddenly the young lady sank
from her seat, and would have fallen
upon the floor, hut for the promptness
Of DR.. w. II. Elliot (next whose pew
she was sitting who caught her in his
arms. Three or four gentlemen imme-
diately approached and assisted in car
rving her from the church. COnside-
rable interest was ocCasioned in the con-
gregation, whose attention was attracted
Fy the c0mmotiOn in the gallery, but the
general inference wa", that the young
lady overcome by her feelings, had
tainted Alas such was not the case.
The gentlemen who were carrying the
almost lifeless form, noticed on going
down the stairs that the gasps which
now and then shook the frame, grew
fainter and fainter on reaching the YES
thule A conveyance was at once pro-
cured, and the lifeless form of the young
lady was taken to her fathers residence
in Liberty street.
The announcement of this sad and
melancholy ending of life Just dedi-
Gated to the service of the Lord sent a
thrill of solemn grief throughout the
congregation. Bishop Beckwith alluded
to this visitation of Providence in a most
feeling manner, and expressed the hope
that all present might be as fully pre-
pared to appear before their Maker,
when summoned, as he believed the
Young lady was, who but few minutes
before had stood before the altar in the
freshness and glory of youth. His re-
marks touching the uncertainty of life,
as illustrated by the sad incident, were
very impressive, and were deeply felt by
the congregation. But few months
since it was our painful duty to record
the death of Mrs, Spencer, mother of
this young lady, who died suddenly at
her residence, of heart disease, while
playing with her little child. The death
of her daughter was produced by the
same terrible disease. She has had the
care of the little sister since the death of
her mother, and was the mainstay and
comfort of her father. He was absent
from the city on Wednesday, attending
to his duties as pilot, when the sum
mons of this terrible affiiction reached
him. .-Sd0dnndh NeaoS.

by Henry Clark, who delivered an ad-
dress on the History, Tenets, and Work

the company repaired to the Bates House

one. After supper came danciug, which

BoLIvIA.-From Bolivia we have the
intelligence that quite a tragedy has
lately been enacted, which resulted in
the death of President Morales. 1t ap-
pears the President has been very per-
sistent in pressing certain mining pro-
jects upon the attention of Congress
In doing so he has been very abusive
not only to members of Congress who
did not favor his schemes, but to the
individuals of his own official house
hold. This was naturally hard to be
borne by the high-strung Bolivians, and
he was at last shot dead by his own
nephew in the midst of one of his vitu-
perative attacks. The Congress very
quietly elected Gen. Batison as the sue
cessor of the defunct Morales, and tran
guilty again prevails at the Bolivian
capital.

ACCIDENT IN a SLATE QUARRY.-An
accident occurred on Wednesday in the
first quarry, owned by Penrhyn Slate
Company of Granville, in which several
men were slightly injured. The horse,
in working the derrick, slipped and fell,
and while the workmen were engaged in
raising the fallen beast the brake broke,
bringing the sweep suddenly round,
which brushed away several men down
the cut-a distance of eight or ten feet.
Fortunately the men escaped with no
broken bones, but some bruises.

SELF-SEALING NEWSPAPER WRAPPERS.
During the last fiscal year 1924. $50
stamped newspaper wrappers were sold
at post offices, and as the number of un-

have been equal or even greater, the
total number of stamped and unstamped
sold during the year would be about 49,
100000, with an increase of thirty-four
