genius of the place. 1t covered every
object that met the eye; it rose in
clouds at every step upon the rotting
carpets; 1t was inhaled in every
breath.
But the intruders did not linger
among these ruins of past magnifi-

there hung the shuddering memories
of the dark tragedy that had brought
about all this desolation and decay
they sought. Guided by the plan of
the Hall in the old newspaper, they
passed through q small door that stood
within a niche upon the right hand
side of the ball room, and opened up
on a passage communicating between
the centre and the right wing of the
building, in which latter part of the
Hall was situated the apartment oc-
cupied by Wieland, and the bed

DOUBTS AND SURMISES.

|
On the conclusion of his story,
Bilge shouldered his basket of wrig-
Cling eels, and the two walked to-
ward the town. BY this time the
mist had cleared away; the sun shone
with dazzling radiance the most dis
tant object stools forth clearly and
distinctly the deep blue waves broke
in foam-crested ripples at their feet !;
and soft air, impregnated with the
odor of the sea-weed, blew refreshing
ly In their faces.
"Stopw said Charley, haltlng sud
denly. II have just thought of an
insuperable obstacle to your theory of
my being the child who was Abduct-
ed. Why would the murderer take
me to my mothers maid? Why
should she connive? Why, good
heavens! that would implicate her in
the murder! She must have been ac-
cessory to the fact, to have taken
charge of me. What motive could
she have in this concealment? Oh,
no, no what you have told me is all
idle imaglnings,"
There's no getting at the bottom
of it, L must confess" said Bilge,
somewhat disconcertedly. at was
whispered about at the time, that
Sarah Candy knew more of the affair
than ever she told; indeed nobody
gave their evidence in a downright
straightforward manner; there was
a hanging back. fit wasn't Squire
Blakely's baby that took the place of
Sarah Gandy's in her cradle, whose

who'd ever thought of looking there

told you's true. My uncle, Jacob
Crime, was gardner at the Hall, and

it just before he died and I've heard
him hint that if he chose to open his

WHAT CHARLEY FOUND AT BLAKELY
HALL.
Next morning, as the clock struck
six, Charley was at the carriers door,
and was. few minutes afterwards,
Joined by Bilge. Another half-hour
and they were fairly started upon the
road.
During the journey, Charley care
fully read through the account
of the murder contained in the
old newspaper that his companion
had brought for his perusUal. AS
Biige had said, it contained a plan of
Hall, and the situation of the differ
ent chambers mentioned in the evil
dence.
Seated at the back of the cart,
among the goods and packages, Char
ley gave himself up to the silent study
of this record of an almost forgotten
crime, while Bilge and the carrier,

pounds offered by Government, the
bereaved husband added another
Months passed away, but brought nc
intelligence Of the missing man.
In accordance with the usual sys-
tenn of the astute English police
while eagerly following up the one
clue, they never gave a moments
consideration to the probability that
they might be upon the wrong scent
it never entered their heads to extend
their researches and inquiries in any
other direction. To the one point
they tenaciously cIung, and utterly
overlooked evary fact or indication
that did not lead to that point.
And thus the Blakely Hall tragedy
was added to the already long list of
undiscovered crimes.
But faI exceeding the mystery of
the murder was the mysterious dis
appearance of the infant. Was 1t
probable, even supposing he had COM
mitted the crime, that Wieland
would clog his movements with a
child wh ch would afford so strong a
clue to his pursuers? Again supPos-
ing him to have murdered it, what
possible motive could be have for the
commission of the double atrocity?
The effect of these events upon
Robert Blakely were terrible. In a
week he appeared to age ten years /;
there was a stoop in his shoulders,
deep furrows in his face; his favOrite
pursuits were utterly forsaken, and,
from being one Of the most active of
men, he sank into a state of listless
dependency. Helen DeerbroOk was
also deeply affected by her sisters sad
fate. No one had given her credit for
entertaining so strong an affection for
the poor girl as she now showed In
her pale face, listless eyes, and defect
ed demeanor.
A few days after poor Edith's fun
eral, Helen departed for London.
The Robert Blakely paid off all the
domestics at the Hall, and, leaving it
in the charge of an old housekeeper,
departed for the Continent, where he
had continued to reside ever since.
Nov there was one strange thing
on the night of the muir
der" said Bilge, "that think is only
known at the present time to myself
and two other people. Mrs. Blake
ly's maid was a married woman her
hus band was the coachman. On that
very night their baby-a boy, born
about a month orsiX weeks before her
nissus's-died in fit of Group. In
the uproar, nobody heard anything
about it, except the parents. Now
mark this! In the dead o. the night
the father hisself nailed il down in q
deal box that he put together with
his own hands, and buried it In the
churchyard unknown to anybody /;
bit the neat morning there s0aS q live
infant IN the cradle Just the same as
before, and nobody knows but what it
was the one born to 'em, to this day.
And now shall tell you what the

is still, Sarah Candy"

The times are dull and trade sympathir- les just at present in Tucson, and the same state Of things exists more or less through out the country, from New York to Tubac. But any one familiar with Tucson and its business.a few years ago, would be aston ished at the remarkable change In the city, revealed by the aspect of It's business houses Of to-day. Everywhere is nothing but improvement, either externally or in tho quantity and character Of the goods brought to market or both. Go straight through the town and take every business house, and you will find advance and im- provement scarcely surpassed by any town Of the same size in the Union.
 Messrs. Lord & Williams, one Of the most prominent dry goods and general merchandise firms of Arizona, have as- stunned a position in the very front rank Of improvement. in entering.their new estab- Iishment at their old site, corner Of Main and Congress streets in this town. This firm has always been either at the head or in the very front Of Arizona merchants,
 
 they several months ago were forced to give up all ideas of retaining their then Arrangements Of crowded store-rooms, post office. and United States Depository; and, removing their goods into various ware houses in town, they filled up and occu- pied for a temporary store, the old stand Of L. Nj. Jacobs & Co.,, corner Of Main and Mesilla streets. General J. B. Allen then, under contract with Mir. James H. Toole, the owner Of the old building, went into 1t and simply cleaned out the whole in- side, pOstofice, depository, store-rooms and all, Of the establishment corner of Main and Congress streets, only leaving the exterior walls and portions Of the roofs standing and in place. He then built up- on and in the place Of the old rooms and the back courtyard, an entirely new es- tablishment, containing offices and rooms as follows:

 From the Sentinel ofthe Sth instant, we learn that Judge Berry had re- turned from his Tucson trip. Among the holiday festivities are noted the school festival. an account of which was in our last weeks Yuma letter :. also on Christmas night and New Years. the citizens of Yuma indulged in the pleasant dissipation of grand ball at the court house. On New Years, Mayor Finlay and others kept open house. and there was @ lively time generally.
 During the week ending January 6, James NJ. Barney had shipped to Tucson and way stations, sO,OOO lbs. of government and citizen freight, by trains of Ssmsniego and Csvaness: also $500 lbs. of silver ore from Tuo- son, to San Francisco.

Governor McCormIck's Visit and
 Departure.

December 9, Governor and Mrs. McCOr- mick arrived in Tucson by stage on Q trip heretofore mentioned in these columns; and on Tuesday about noon, took their departure for Washington via the Rio Grande valley and Santa Fe. Mir. McCor- mick expects to reach Washington in Feb ruary, where he will remain 0 short time and afterward go to Philadelphia and de- vote his attention to matters relating to the Centennial Commission, he being a most valuable member Of the Executive Committee which has been entrusted with the full power Of the whole body; and we personally know that his late long nb- sence has been greatly regretted by mem-
 bers of this important committee. He wlll spend most of his time the remain der Of 1876, in this connection, after which he will give more particular attention to enterprises connected with this Territory with which he will be permanently iden- tified.
 While in Tucson, he and wife were the guests of Messrs. Fully, Ochos & Co.,, and shortly after arriving, were honored by 6 Iserenade and a welcome by very large gathering Of the people generally. Nu- merous public and private entertainments were rendered him, all of which he de- clined, preferring to be considered simply a private citizen, renewing old aoquain. tances and making new ones; noting pro- gross Of town and country, and spending an interval of spare time in a Territory with which he had been long SO promi- 'nently, and we may say so usefully and Ihonorably connected.
 We we feel Justified in.the assertion that no State or Territory ever had twelve or any less number years or more faithful, upright and useful service from one man, than Arizona has had of Gov. McCor- mick; and further, that the more his rec ord is critically and justly examined in detail, the better 1t will appear. Our best wishes, as we are sure do those of the body Of the people Of Arizona, go with the Gov .ernor and his amiable, intelligent and sensible wife.
