II One Of the most terrible tragedies that ever
happened in this section Of the country hap
pened at Brookville. Tuesday morning, at
about three o'clock. There are many conflict
Ing stories concerning the terrible deed and
we cannot, of course, at this time, prcscnt,all
the facts. But we shall give the story which
is common upon our streets. Two brothers.
Thomas and William Anderson, merchants Of
Brookyille, well-known to most OF our citizens,
were in the saloon of Barney Bohan person
also ..well-known IN this place. Thomas and
Barney had dispute concerning the price Of
-four which the former had sold the latter.
From words the alteration went on to blows,
when Bohan picked up brake:sshoe-and hit
Andersen across the forehead, in1icting hor-
rible wound, knocking him senseless and fell
ing him to the door. Barney then jumped
ont of a window and ran to his house for the
the purpose of getting q reyolyer-asi it was at
forwards ascertaned. VIM. Anderson, in the
meantime, with some..assstance, managed to
get his brother into room adjoining the So
loon-a barber shop-and commenced bathing
the wound Of his insenseess brother and using
he was engaged in this, han.returned, and
presenting his pistol, shot William through
the bowels and then, turning about, shot
Thomas through the heart. Bohan gave hiE1-
selfup Immediately to Mayor Mccormick, who
subsequently delivered him to Sheriff Going,
and he is now in Jail at this place. VIM. An
derson lived during the day and expired
Wednesday night. Before his death lie gave
his statement Of the affair, which was reduced
to writing and properly attested. He also ar
ranged all his business matters. The Ander-
son brothers were both single men and posses
sed of large amount Of property. They
leave two aged parents, who reside Mt Ellis
worth. a deep feeling of horror over the
seemingly double murder pervades the citizens
Of both RrookvIlle and Salina. IL was feared
at one time, that mob-Iaw would be resorted
justice will interfere. Rumors Of parties from
Ellsworth coming to avenge the brothers
death were thick on Tuesday, but they were
probably only rumors. We do not give the
above statement as the facts in the case, for
they can only be arrived at when the evidence
on both side has been submitted. Bohsn
claims, we understand, that he was acting in
self-defence. 1t is neither proper nor just to
spend our opinion upon the matter until tine
trial has been had. and the true facts in the
case have been arrived at. The public Should
WITHHOLD their opinion until that time, that
the prisoner may have fair and impartial
hearing. Coroner I.ull held an inquest over
the body of Thomas Anderson on Tuesday
and subsequently over the body of William
Anderson. The verdict WAS that the parties
came to their deaths at the hands of Barney
Bohan. We might further state that there had
been previous to this time trouble between Bo-
han and the deceased. which had resulted in
the worst of feeling between them.

recitation Of ''Thc Bridge of Sighs.' y
There are several strong points
in Miss Fields favor. To begin with
she pleases the eye. She walks well
and she came forward and bowed
with achar'ning grace, and stood
there u pleasant picture, with rose.
flush of excitement on her cheeks
and a bright light in her clear, blue
eyes.
She wore an immoral gown-im-
moral because it was SO handsome rs

fering sisters who have never crossed
the seas to Paris, or seen the face of
King Worth. 1t was black mira

What she would be likely to ac-
complish as an actress one could, of
course, hardly venture to predict
from this recitation of single poem;
but the recitation was very emotion

cd, and received with gratifying en-
thusiasm. Said an old Bostonian to
me the other day, "If' there is any

Field ought to succeed on the stage,
for both her father and mother were
uncommonly good actors, Of that adj
mirablc old school which held that
no trifle was unimportant, and moth

small to do in the best manner.

A Touching Romance.

There is a touching romance in
connection with Ellsworth's death,
which became public for the first
time on the day Of the dedication of
his monument. The beautiful little
incident illustrates wonan's devotion.
When Ellsworth died he was affianc-
ed to a beautiful young lady, and she
vowed ever attcrwar,l to lead life
of celibacy. Years have passed over
her young head, and she has not been
mcrcitully called to rcjoin that other
self whom she loved better than life,
without whom life is death.
One who knew her attended the
dedication of the monument, and in
quired first and eagerly for the beau
tifnl bride Of Ellsworth's lowering
spirit. She was not there. Surely
she must he dead; nothing else could
keep her from such u tribute to her
spirit-love. lie asccrtained that it
was not death that detained her. 1t
was not convenient for her to leave
her husband and children. She had
''weakencd' Oh her vow several wears
since. Oh, woman, in our hours OF
ease how you "stick;" but after We
are planted how you don't stick!

making splendid leap, caught the
child in his arms and without attempt
ing to regain his feet, threw himself
over the rail with the agility of q cat.
1t was close call. Before he had
quite cleared the track the pilot struck
his foot, but he rolled safely out of
the way for several yards, still hold
ing the child in his arms.
The rate ut which the train was
running may be judged. when it is
known that it moved five car-lcngths
past where Evans was lying before it
could be stopped. The mother of the
child, who witnessed the affair, was
on the spot in flash, trembling,
weeping, and almost specchless with
excitement. Jack rose to his feet
and handed her the baby as coolly as
though he had just taken it out Of its
cradle. Madam" he said, "you had
better take care of that young one
hereafter" And he climbed into the
cab and went ahead more uncOncern-
ed and less excited than any Of the
gentlemen who were aft, serving
their country by twisting breaks. It
was gallant deed, and well perform
ed, and among the many thrilling le-
gends which already fill the pages of
the "Romance of the Road" railroad
men will have one more to relate in
the intervals of duty, and that, too,
one whose chief value is that there il
naught of invention or exaggcration
in its details-"How Jack Evans Sa-

When the American troops were
quartcred at Newbury, ut the close of
the Revolutionary war, and the sold.
icrs were stirred up to rebellion
against the Government, by the fl
nous anonymous letters, which it has
since been asccrtaincd were written
by Gen. Armstrong, then major in
the army, Gen. Washington con-
vened the officers for the purpose of
addressing them on the subject, and
calming the tumult which was be-
ginning to rage in their bosoms.
He held u paper in his hand on
which the remarks he intended to
make were written-and then it was
that finding himself unable to read
without assistance-as he was draw
ing his spectacles from his pocket,
that unprecedented expression broke
from hiln-onc of the most pathetic
that ever fell from human lips-"F.l-
loo cisizens," said he, "yo~ perceioe
! have not only groom gray but blind
IN your service." The effect of this
remark was electrical. No bosom
no eye was proof against it.

card monte, do youY"
Now, the Thomsonian dose above
described very nearly ended the bat
tie with poor Armstrong. He was
silent for quite q time, and everybody
else was silent. After a while the
landlord vcntured to suggest that q
bed could be provided if it was de-
sired. "No," said Armstrong, ''I'll
sleep on the floor. You see, stranger,
said he, cycling the landlord with
peculiar expression, "this fool has
been squandering gold-dust at monte
-thrce-card monte-and does not
deserve to sleep in bed"
So Armstrong ended the days bat
tie by going to bed on the floor.
Then came the dreams. He first
dreamed that he was sleeping with
his feet Oh the North Pole and his
head in the tropics, while all the
miners Of Yuba were ground-sluicing
in bis stomach. Next, he dreamed
that he had swallowed Mount Shasta
for supper, and that the old noun
tain had suddenly become IN active
volcano, and was vomiting acres and
acres Of hot lava.
Then the scene shifted, and he
seemed to have found his final abode
in place of vile smells and fierce
flames, poetically called the antipodes
Of heaven. And while he writhed
and groancd in sleepless agony, a
forked-tailcd fiend with his thumb at
his nose, was saying to him in
voice: "You buck your
money a'cay at three-card monte,
do yom-hey@ But even this
troubled sleep had an end at last, and
Armstrong arose. When he looked
at himself in the broken looking
glass that hung on the wall, he
thought that his face bore traces of
wisdom that had never been there be-
fore. So he said: Il think you have
learned lesson, Armstrong. You
can 60 back to your mining now, sir,

ed that he was right. His lesson was
we'll learned. The miners looked a
little curious when he reappcared at
the camp, and still called him crazy.
But he had learned a lesson that
many of them never learned poor fcl-
lows. They continued their old ways
making money fast and spending it
foolishl hly-even giving it to the monte
dealers. But the Armstrong firm was
never broken in that way but once.
After that, whenever he saw one Of
the peculiar signs, "Robbcrs' Roost,"
Flecchcr's Dcn," or Fools Last
Chance" Armstrong would shake
his head with a knowing air, and say
to himself as he passed along: "Oh,

Of good taste on his part; and to be

note first. 1t was full of daintily ex-
pressed compliments, and closed with
the hope that the lady might always
appear as blooming and sunny as the
enclosed fruit. Then she united the
string, unwrappcd the parcel, and out
rolled six plump Neshannocks-
Then she thought of that note, and
the more she thought the madder she
became. "To Think" cogitated the
maiden, "that the fellow wanted me

Ancient Mines.

From the northern shore of Michi-
gan, a long and narrow point of land,
in shape like half a crescent, projects
boldly into the deep waters of Lake
Superior. 1t is Il trap formation and
is called keweenaw Point. Along
this ridge lie all the principtl cop
per mines Of Michigan, and upon this
ridge were discovered in the ycar
lS4S vestigcs of mines more ancient
than the legends of the native In
dians, older than the traditions of
any people now extant. Questions
recently raised by the National As
sociatiOn Of Science in relation to the
mound-buildcrs of America have
again suggested the existence of
these ancient mines.
The Jesuit Fathers had no knowl-
edge of these mines. They were evil
IDENTIFY abandoned long before the
French became acquainted with the
Northern tribes and were discovered
and reopcncd by Il Mr.. Knapp at the
point where the Minnesota mine is
now existing. The i'll success of the
company Of which Mr.. Knapp was
member had rendered him depressed
and thoroughly discouraged, and
while prospecting for fresh leads, he
was iii mood to make experiments.
Noticing one day u singular dcpres-
sion, with others, in different range,
he sunk shafts into what proved to
be old pits, and struck one of the
richest mines of copper in the world.
The implements of the ancient
workers were found by the hundreds
in the bottom of the pits, and much
copper was found detached in mass
es and propped up, ready for removal
in the shafts. That these mines are
very ancient there can scarcely be Il
doubt. The Indian tribes have no
knowledge of their origin and no
dream of their existancc. Their en-
act age can, Of course, never be as
certaincd, but there is every reason
to give them an existence Of two
thousand years, and they are doub'-
less Aztec in their origin and con-
nected in their existence with the
prehistoric races. The theory has
been advanced that they were mined
by the remote forcfathers of our In
dian tribes-thc fact that the ancient
miners seemingly possessed fargrcat-
er culture and more finished applian-
ces than their supposed descendants,
being accounted for by the SUPPOSE
ton that the modern races are the
degenerate remnants of y race once
powerful and comparatively civilized.
This supposition is not unsustained
by fact, but it is hardly as reasonable
AS the theory which refers the mines
to common ancestry with the
and burial grounds of South
America and Mexico. That the Az
tee races wandered far up into North
America can scarcely be, with reason,
doubted. That the Kecwanaw mines
are evidence of their industry, there
is much reason to CHicago
Post and Mail.
