It is good thing, on the whole, to

ually We ceased. to believe that MI.
Reinhardt had anything criminal about
him. But it was quite certain that
there was 4 mystery-that We knew
nothing about him, neither where he
came from, nor what his family was..
For one thing, he had certainly no oc-
cupation : therefore, of course, he must
be sufficiently we'll off TO- do without
that: and he had no relations-no ono.
who ever came to see him, nor Of whom
be talked i; and though the men who
called upon him, hsd been admitted,
they were never asked to 60 back, nor
had one Of US ladies ever crossed his
threshold. 1t would seem, indeed, that
be had made a rule against admitting
ladies, for when Mrs. Bamerel herself
called to speak Of the soup.kitcbeu,
old White came and spoke to her At
the gate, and trembled very much, and
begged her a hundred pardoas, but,
nevertheless, would not let her in-a
thing which made her very indignant.
Thus the house became to US all q
mysterious house, and, on the whole, I
think we rather liked it. The mystery
did 20 harm, and it certainly amused
Us, and kept our interest alive.
Thus the summer passed, and
Dingle6eld had got used to the Scisu-
ti6o Gentleman. That was the name

little special description of Mr.. Rein

Society,"" one would say, not knowing
much what that meant. "He belongs
to the British Association" said anoth:
er. "He is q great scientific light. !"
We began even to feel little proud of
him. Even myself, on the nights
when I did not sleep veil, used to feel
quite pleased, when I looked out, to
see the Scientific Gentleman's light
still burning. ae was sitting up there,
no doubt, pondering things that were
much beyond our oomprehension-and
it made us proud to think that, on the

Special Ditpateh to The Chicago Tribune.
RICHMOND Ind, April 1s.-The liquor-sellers
having assumed the defensive, the crusade grows
more interesting. Flushed with success among
the retailers, the women continue to attack the
wholesalers. They in turn complained to tho
Police Board. who decided that the women arc
violating an ordinance prohibiting congregating
on the Streets except in case Of public meetings
Accordingly, the women post the town. the bills
calling public meeting for religious worship,
which they accidentally assemble in front OF the
enemy's doors. One OF the wholesalers has
ne gro employed to turn hand-organ whenever
he is visited, and on one occasion added bass
drum; completely drowning the women's 7oices.
Last night the hand-organ and some other like
Instruments we're ont serenadlpg tho leading

CRIME.
Attempted As4uSsfnat

Attempted Assassination in ST. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, No., April 18.--Two young men,
Charles and Julian Pickles, we're brought to this
city from krkwood, q suburban town, and
lodged in JAIL charged with attempting to assas-
sinate Dr.. ]. H. Pitman, prominent phvsi~
cian OF that village, yesterday. It appears
that Mathew Pickles. father of the
while under Dr. Pitman's caro- Since
when Mrs. Pickles had been very hostile to him,
for the reason that she believed her husband
did not receive proper treatment at his hands,
and has ever since refused to pay her bill. Yes
terday, however, she sent for the Doctor, saying
She would settle his account. Tho Doctor went
to her house, and WAS requested to sign re-
ceipt for the money which he declined to do until
the amount was paid. Miss Pickles then got
very angry, told tho Doctor lie should leave
town. and drew revolver, which Pitman took
from her before che could fire. She then drew
derringer, but the Doctor seized that also be-
fore she could use it. She then called on her
sons, who appeared at window Of the room,
and fred two shots through it from 3
shotgun, but without effect. Pitman
then released Mrs. Pickles and ran out OF the
house, and, while crossing tho yard, received
charge Of shot in his left side, face, and hands,
tired by one Of the boys. From all the circum-
stances in the case, it is believed that dellb-
crate plan WAS laid to assaesinate Pitman. All
tho parties are Of tho highest responsibility.
p1tman's face and head are badly wounded and
he may lose one eye.

L'AnIERIQUE.


Steamer.
lHtraM Gable Sptcial1
PARIS, April ia few OF the passengers Of
the il1-fated steamer L'Amerique have arrived
here. Their narratives Of the disaster are in
coherent The following is a substantial sum-
mary: The weather continued cool till the
morning Of April 13. when strong westerly
breeze sprung up, and veered at 2
from the W.N.W. heavy sea struck the roof
Of the wheelhouse when about 100 miles from
Brest. The Captain ordered the ship to be
turned to the wind. The gale Increased, and at
engine-room with water. During the mig ght the
weather thickened, and the vessel rapidly filled
with water, putting out the fires three times.
Tho engineers succeeded, nevertheless, in
keeping up steam- On the morning OF the 14th
the steam went down for abort period, and the
the engines finally stopped working. Heavy seas
were shipped ut various times, and filled the hold
with large quantities of water. It became eyi-
dent that Bhe had sprung leak The carpen-
The donkey engine WAS set to work, but ef-
forts to lessen the water wers futile.
The vessel became nnmRnageab]e at d:30 p. m.,
and the Captain was compelled to inform the
passengers of its helpless condition. He pro-
posed to signal an italian ship which had been
standing by gallantly. This increased the sus-
pense, because until then the officers Of the
steamer had succeeded in yelling its condition.
In q few words they reaasured the passengers,
recommended their remaining calm and taking
ife-preservers The transfer was accomplished
with the greatest order. 1t commenced at
o'clock, and was completed at 7. It was
miraculous escape, considering the weather. The
sole accident was to the First Officer, Carey,
who Was drowned in the transfer. There are
various surmises to the origin OF the disaster.
which is attributed to heavy seas shipped. 1t
is probable that the cargo Of wheat, willie wet,
swelled and started the riyets or, possibly, the
chip touched during low tide. The roofing Of
the eng ine-room started at the commencement,
allowing the water to enter freely.
NEW YORK, April 18.--Tho HeralGs CORE
spondent at Brest sends the official report Of
Capt. Rousseau, Of the L'Amerique. It sub
stantia1ly confirms the kilograms from Paris.
The Company gave the passengers money for
their immediate necessities. Many Of the pas
sengers are Frustrated with fatigue, and there is
one case Of paralysis. The Company throws the
blame upon the British Bhip-buiders.

Special Dispatch to Tbs Chicago Tribune.
JACKSONVILLE. Ill, April 1s.-This region is in
q fever of excitement over temperance and re-
Hgion. Little else If talked about and business
is comparatively neglected. The Rev. Mr.. Fam
mond has been holding several meetings hero
daily since Wednesday. The churches have been
crowded to overaoWing, and large numbers have
been addressed in the open air. The Rev. A1r.
Hammond is assisted by one Smith. reformed
prize-fighter Of ST. Louis. and Mr. Diller,
prominent business man Of Springfield, both con-
verted under his ministratione. and
by others. Several large meetings OF
children have been held, and the
little ones hare been wrought up to an intense
excitement and alarm. Mr. Hammond SAYS
from 100 to 800 children have been converted.
Many of the people here denounced Hanmond's
method, especially his exciting tho children. but
many others say that he is doing q glorious
work. He has been bosiegod with kilograms to-
day from Hannibal, Mo-, urging him to return
and labor on Sunday, saying their special trains
were coming in from various places, and i'm
mense crowds would gather to hear him. He
decided. however, to remain here tomorrow
and hold ge1yices.
