merely held the girl tenderly, strOked her
cheek now and then, and studied what might
be possible for her to do. But before the
plan had well begun to form itself in her
mind, a ring of the door bell startled the two
out of their embrace.
OF course the reader knows why entered.
"Oh, Mr.. Conrad,' exclaimed the sgnora,
Il am glad you haven't quite discarded ali
your friends. l hear you are going away,
saying goodbye to no one. Lily says you
wouldn't allow her the chance to say Bon
uoyage."
The two saluted each other with perfect
politeness.
81 had but five minutes, and Miss Fapshaw
was engaged with visitors, "he said, ,'and lack
of time must be my excuse for coming here
so Iate.''
The signora was at her wits end. Here
were two cebergs to thaw, and only five or
ten minutes time to do it in. II she could
kindle great confagration, do something
tragical, it would not have been so bad but
the whole thawing process must be accom-
pished by the softest little breaths. She
called attention to her friends head dress
and told the story of it, but the gentleman
expressed no desire to try its magic proper
ties. She begged him to take a letter to her
friend in Florence, and. prepared to 60 to the
1arthest corner of the room to write it, yet the
two showed not the slightest consciousness
that they were to be left to talk to each other.
She proposed on leaving them that the sibyl
snouid tell Mr.. Conrad's fortune, but Miss.
FansnaW declared that the virtue of the
handkerchief had not yet penetrated hel
brain sufficiently to impart the second sight,
Signing. but hoping; the sIgnora retired to
a distant writ, g-table to communicate that
very important business which must abso-
uteIy be known in Florence vithIn twenty
four hol rs. Ard this is what she wrote:
"MY DEAR ANNA-I thought you might
like 10 see Mr. Conrad, so made this letter an
excuse. L don't see why he should leave
Rome, and if you can contrive to send him
back you will do well. don't like nice peo-
pie to go away. Not bit of news. Lily

VICKSBBRG We have to record
another shooting affair in this I'M
happy city. Three colorel men were
shot, one MORALLY wounded and
then set on fire with coal oil and
roasted, Oh Tuesday night last.
Tie deceased was one, Ben johnson,
and the scene of the killing, the
house of Wash Davenport. The
same night, and by the same mur>
derous hands, Calvin Gibbs and
Charles Hickman were shot and
perhaps MORALLY wounded, on Cher
~ street. The parties charged with
the diabolical crime are VIM. Green
aud Mr.. Conklin. The citizens of
Vicksburg held an indignation meet.
ing on Wednesday morning and de-
nOuced the matter in most empIat-
ic terms. There is no doubt but
that the guilty parties will receive
sure and speedy punishment. We
learn the above facts from Mayor
O'Leary, of Vicksburg, who deplores
and denOunces the crime in common
with all good citizens.

HIGH TAXES.

Here is Il summary of the con.
dirion of things in Brooklyn. The
taxes are infinitely higher than in
any portion Of Mississippi, yet we
have not heard that Brooklyn has
the "woist government on earth:
Brooklyn, with about half a mill
lion of inhabitants, has an asses
ment roll of 1893, 0O0, 900, and a debt
81 ,OOO, 900, or 1S9 per cent, on the
property taxed, Her taxation for
the year was over $40, $780, 900 of
which she collects about $4,000, 900
in cash and S2,700.O00 by getting
her note discounted, thus adding to
her debt annually, so that in ten
years it will reach 5000, 600.
The prospect of lower rates down
there is pretty small and the future
looks quite unprepossessins to the
tax payers.

THE OHIO ELECTION.
LATEST RETURNS.

Cincinnati, Oct. 13. Returns from
eighteen precincts in Hamilton
county give Hayes 4, $50; Allen 4,345
is probably elected.
Cincinnati, Oct. 13.-Seventy-one
of the So precincts in Hamilton
county give Hayes 90S majority.
Sixty-one precincts give Young, Re
publican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, $500 ma jority over Cary.
The Republicans elect their legiSla
of , 900. Hayes majority in Ham
iliOn county wilt reach l 800. Re
tu,ns from 561 precincts, nearly
one third of the State, show Reruo
lIcan gains of HOO.
Columbus, Oct. 13.-The Demo
Gratis concede the State to the Re-
publicans by $1,000 majority, and a
fair majority in both branches OF the
General Assembly.
Columbus. Oct. 13.-Returns come
in slowly, and it is impossible tt
give accurate figures, Tut both the
Republican and Democratic S'att
Committees agree that the State
has not gone Republican by ovel
| 10000. The most significant news
to day is an official dispatch from
Ross county, showing that Allen
carried the county by only 242 ma
jority, giving Republican gain o.
4O5, which elects a Republican Sen
ator, Representative, Treasurer and
Judges. The absence of all figures
on the Lieutenant Governor anc
Legislature makes definite state
ment regarding them impossible
both the committees agree that it il
quite probable the Republicans
nave a working majority in boil
branches of the Gener, Il Ass. mbly
Columbus, Oct. 13.-Repubiicar
figures give Republicans nine ma
jority in the house, not counting
four considered doubtful, and three
majority in the Senate, with fou
members yet in doubt.
| LATER.-A revision of Republi
can figures gives Hayes a net gain
of S,434. On the other hand, Dem
cratic figures claim that Hay es will
not have over 1900 majority.
Columbus, Oct. 14.-There is still
intense excitement here over thu
election news, and much figuring ii
being done. The Democrats do no
expect to dissipate the majority
but it will he very small. The Re
publicans figure very close, but Still
| rely on several thousand majority.
Cincinnati, Oct. IA, 4 P. NJ
Hayes elected by four thousand ant

THE POLITICAL CANVAS.

We would again urge upon all
good citizens to discourage the use
of whiskey during the present ex-
citing political struggle. If you are
from principle opposed to the mis-.
cradle traffic, or if you are accus-
toned to indulge in its moderate use,
for the sake Of life, peace, and good
order, abstain for a season. 1t will
not cost you much to deny yourself
drink for a month, and may save
the lives Of useful men, and the
purity of fair women. The bloody
riots which have occurred to the
disgrace of civilization and human
ity, show how small a preteXt will
precIpitate frenzied collision. One
drink of mean whiskey can do the
bloody work. Then we do hope all
friends of humanity will heed this
kind word of neutrality-suspicious.

An INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE

Columbus, O.. Oct. IA.
Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, Chairman
Dem. State Er. Com. Philadelphia
The State has gone for Hayes by
a small majority. The returns in
dictate that a democratic vote OF
5000 larger than was ever cast for
any Governor of Ohio. Our defeat
was the result of the most lavish
expenditures of money that ever
characterized a political contest, the
colonization of fraudulent votes, and
the introduction of false issue on
the public schools, which excited
the prejudice of religious bigOtry
and hate.
