Mizpah looks up. She is sitting, slight
and graceful in her widows dress, one Of a
fashionable crowd, in fashionable London
drawing-room. Two little red spots rushed
into her cheeks, and her eyes leap up with
a light as she puts her hand out saying:
"Mr. Decres and l are old friends"
He does not act like an old friend. he
does not even seem to see her hand, but
bown with grave forlnality, and after a
word or two of commonplace civility-.
words which the beating Of her heart will
hardly let her answer-he moves quietly
away and leaves the room.

could not afford to do it unmarried; be-

loved, ard who was away in Canada, had

4 Giant Project.

In California they are fond Of big pro-
iec,s, and one has been started there which
is, or ought to be, big enough to satisfy the
most enthusiastic dweller on the Pacific
slope. According to the San Francisco
journal of Commerce, it is seriously pro-
posed to build railroad from that city
through southern California, Mexico, the
Central American States and South Amer.
Ca, to Valparaiso or Conception, and 50
On to Buenos Ayres. The main line would
',ass through Fort Yuma, on the Colorado,
rshich would be the first importan: station,
hence through Sonora and Sinaloa, to Te.
huantepec, the terminus Of one Of the pro
posed lines of canal to connect the Atlantic
Nth the Pacific, From Tehuantepec the
inc would pass through the States Of Qua.
lemala, San Salvador, Honduras and Costa
Rica, over the Cordilleras,to Panama; from
Pana ma to Lima, and from Lima to Val
!araiso or Conception, and thence BY The
Cumbe or Antuoo Pass, across the Andes
and so Oh to Buenos Ayres.
The entire length Of this main line woulc
ie abon, 1920 miles BY way OF Concepcion
Or BY way OF v.lpara 30, $3.50 miles. The
connecting lines, which should be con
-,ructed through Mexico, Central Americs
and South America, to open communica-
lion with the more important business cen
tres Of those countries, would aggregate
about 3,345 miles The expense per mill
. estimated at $4,000, which would a
mount TO some $57s,250,OOO.

Fire ina Hotel.

Fire was discovered early Sunday morn
ing in the Anthony House, No. S34 Broad
,7ay, New York city, and created the wild
eat excitement. All the guests, among
them a number Of returning Centennial
visitors we're asleep at the time, and
several morrow escapes occurred. The fire,
fortunately, was confined to the rear, but
a dense smoke filled the centre building,
and but for the heroism Of a few of the
boarders aided by the prompt and energetic
action of the police and iremen, many
lives would have been lost. A servant
girl, who had tainted, would undoubtedly
have been burned to death but for the
beroism Of a roommate, named Mary
VBrien, who, falling to restore her by
throwing water into her face, took her in
her arms and grooped her way through
the fire and smoke safely down stairs
Nearly all the guests escaped with nothing
on but their night clothes, leaving theil
valuables in their rooms. These, however
were safely restored to them by the police
and firemen. The fire was cansed by al
overneated surface in the kitchen, and
caused damage to the amount OF abou
$4,000,

Chance for Tllden Elector in Wis
cOnsln.

Chance for = Tllden Elector in Wis.
There is possible chance for contest
10 Wisconsin over the one missing electo-
raj vote. Judge Miner of Richland coun-
", was the Republican candidate for Pres
dental elector, but was appointed post
master few weeks ago, thus becoming in
Eligible, and the name of D. L. Downs was
INSTITUTED for bis on the Republican tick
It but before the change was made
he blanks for the canvass OF the votes had
Ill be sent out from the Secretary Of States
ofice, with Miners name. The town and
county carvassers, therefore. making up
heir returns were quite likely to overlook
the fact that a change had been made, and
will certify that Miner who was Withdrawn,
received the votes intended for Downs, who
was substituted IN his place. Senator
Rankin reports that in Manitowoc county
many town returns recited that the vote
vas cast for Miner, but the county cam
-assess in that county rectihed the error.
Notice was sent by the Secretary Of State
10 correct the blanks that had been re-
ceived by them, but it appears that in
many cases this has been neglected, and SO
Downs, one Of the Republican candidates
ior Presidential elector, may be defeated
Ivy erroneous returns, and democrat may
appear a. elected.

PAVE WALNUT STREET.

Nothing pays better than we'll paved
streets. They are economical az they les.
ssn the wear and tear upon draught ami
mails and carriages, and permit the easy
transportation of great business. WALNUT
,tree, is almost On grade from the railway
dcpot to the Brandywine;it iz also the street
that strikes the eye OF the great number Of
travellers passing through our city. 1t is
important that we should put on our best
appearance for the good times about to open
upon us. In hygenic sense, it will pre-
vent in a great measure, diseases original
inx in miasmatic poison in iu immediate
vicinity. Politics are off for some time
The party incontrol ofthe municipality are
certain Of a fair term Of power, and they
c.p afford to stand some growing from the
"penny wise, and pound foolish" Give
Us good paved streets, and you may rely
upon the support Of public spirited c't''

Tho Horse Plague IN Egypt.

A correspondent of the Lordon Times
writes from Cairo; The horse plague
seems to be losing its virulence with the
approach Of cooler Gather. A tropical
stotn Of singular violence broke over the
country with foods Of rain week ago,
and seems to have cleared the air. Though
a few cases occurred at Alexandra, they
have not been followed by others, and we
hope the city will escape. Cairo has suf-
fered terribly. The death Of 1900 army
horses and 300 belonging to private per-
sons was rey.r,ed up to the lst of October.
Horse. Of price, we'll KEEP. and well fed,
were most attacked, and succumbed most
easily. It's described as kind Of typhus,
and death, after apparent pain, ensues in a
few hours. The disease crept down the
river. clinging curiously to the right bank
and was 20 destructive in many districts
that bullocks are alone in use from the
total destruction Of the horses. The gov
ernmen, is now fully alive 70 the danger
ssringen, regulations have been issued a.
regards isolation Of the infected animals
and their burial. But the regulations
somewhat defeat their object by the impes
i,ion Of a fine Of dollar on each infected
hose-a rule which leads their owners u
conceal the death.

chase After Thieves.

Early on Sunday morning the police
men of Waterbury, hearing hand car
going down the Nsugatuck road at high
rate of speed, informed Superintendent
Roach. who ordered out a locomotive and
cave chase. Seventeen miles below the
locomotive struck and destroyed the hand
car. recovering fifteen pieces Of woolen
goods belonging to the Wolcotville Man
nfacturing Company. The Sheriff's Of
Seymour, Ansonia and Derby were noti-
fed, and a prompt search for the robbers
was organized, resulting so far in the arrest
