Carson Tribune that the case of Harry
]. Norton, char ged with contempt in
not obeying a subpoena to appear be-
fore the grand jury, occupied the at
tention of the United States District
Court nearly all Tuesday last. He was
finally discharged. Mr.. Norton was
s~ubpoenaed rs a witness in tie matter
Of the alleged abstraction Of bullion
from the United States Mint. The
Tribune says:.
Agreat amount OF enmity seems to
exist between Messrs. Norton and
Kenyon, and indeed the whole subject
matter of the charge against officers OF
the Mint. which was ignored by the
last grand jury, seems to have been in
stigsted BY personal feeling between
the two rival newspaper men. We
hope the affair may be amicsbly ar
ranged, and that bad blood will no
more accumulate in the veins of the
twain. or phlebotomy may become
necessary to = cure.

Our European dispatches to day in
dictate a quieter condition of affairs
along the Danube. Servia, it appears,
has yielded to the protestations of the
Powers and has promised to refrain
from q breach of the peace. Servia,
subsisting a. a military power upon
Russian subsidies and whose ar
mics are commanded by Russian
officers, of course, took this
step only in obedience to the behests of
Russia. Our dispatches do not advise
us as to the course of the Montenegrins,
Herzegovinans and other Sclavic sub
jects of the Porte. 1t is probable that
this quieting of Servia is merely a lull
before the storm; that Russia, we'll
knowing that a conflict with England
and probably with Austria, will follow
active hostilities against the "Sick
Man." prefers to defer action until she
can gather her together and
extend her alliances. This view is
strengthened by the information re-
ceived by cable yesterday that Empe-
. ror William and Bismarck are in close
consultation over the demands of Rus
sia, that Germany shall extend to her
at least moral aid in the immediate fu-
ture Of the Eastern question.
The cable also conveys to us the re-
port of the ''nineteen physicians Of all

with it a conviction of suicide. In the
first place these nineteen physicians"
whose report is expected to support an
improbable story are not named. In
the next place, all they learned they
were told. Again, the condition of the
body and the promptitude Of the in
spection before rigidity are facts going
to sho N a readiness for an inquest not
consistent with an ignorance of the me-
cessity for an inquest. We entertain
no doubt Of the murderer execution
as you may call it-of the late Sultan
by his successor.
Whether Russia will be enabled to
make this murder a legitimate casms
beih is no yet to be determined.

eyes and mouth were partially open,

veins of the right arm we're cut and

death resulted from hemorrhage of

The direction and nature of the
wounds and the instrument which is

HISTORY OF A DARK ROMANCE IN
REAL LIFE

nhAA AlEE
From the Vallejo, CAL, Chronicle, January s. !
The letter below, printed Verbatim ct
iiterctim from the original, was picked
up many years ago on trail in the Sier.
ra Nevada mountains. Bearing in mind
that it is not a fictitious efCusion, but true
narration Of facts, which now appears in
print for the first time, it is beyond
doubt one of the most touching and SIM
ply pathetic things ever written. Pro-
fessional novelists who study pathos as
fine art might read it with profit, the
man who could resist such an appeal
must have heart of stone:
WHEELING, May lst, lS57-My dear
Ebcn: Long and weary have been the
hours and days since last heard from
you. Oh, why am thus neglected and
forgotten What crime have committed
that you should thus abandon me, forgot
ten and alone But will not repine at
the DEGREES Of fate. although my lot be
ever so hard: Gould you but rightly
judge Of the love that dwells in this heart
of mine-that love, pure and stainless as
the driven snow-could you but feel that
this love is all your own, clinging to you
as the ivy tendrils to the giant oak
could you feel this, and experience but
one.half the love for me that I do for
you, know that should soon be happy
in your presence. This horrid suspense
is killing me-dragging mel slowly but
surely to my grave. have received but
two letters from you within the last year,
and over six months has passed away
since you wrote the last. Oh, Eben. do
write me and let me know the worst. If
l am forgotten and forsaken-if those oft
repeated vows of yours were only made
to be broken-if you do not intend to re-
turn and make me your wife, then tear
| away the veil, and let me know the truth,
should it pierce like dagger to my
heart. Oh, have not right to ask you to
fulfill those oft-repeated promises Of mar
riage which only can make me an honest
woman, and give to our daughter her IA.

it was scarce an hour old. before I had
time to clasp it in one fond embrace, or
imprint but single kiss upon its cheek
then bid it farewell forever. Oh, what

by horseback. Lambert and his com
panions knowing this to be the case, de-
terminded to follow their prey on foot
also. Accordingly the major part of the
party at once continued on the trail.
while three or four of the men removed
the body and the horses to Stottler's
inn. Shortly after night had fallen,
Lambert's associates became dissatisfied
with their errand. and in body returned
to the inn.
The intrepid blacksmith noiwithstand.
ing this demoralizing detection, contin.
ued the pursuit alone. After travelling
in northwestern direction for twelve or
fourteen miles, he came to an old and
disused road, running nearly parallel
with the one he had left. This was called
the "Old Pennsylvania Trace" between
Philadelphia and Red Stone Old Fort,
situated on the waters of the Mononga-
hela river. 1t was the first road ever
opened between Eastern Pennsylvania
and the head-waters of the Ohio river:
and the ancient landmarks, ''threc chops
and blaze were still visible by dav.
light on the old trees. This ancient road
and landmarks were adopted by the sur
veyors and openers of roads in the West
to propitiate Heaven in favor of the first
settlers of the great western wilderness:
and hen;e the first chop was for the
Father, the second for the Son, and the
third for the Holy Ghost; and the blaze
was merely designated to attract the eve
of the observer.
When Lambert struck this old road.
he discovered on the north side of it di.
lapidated log-cabin. Approaching the
cabin, he noticed a light within, and,
feeling satisfied that the murderers were
close at hand, he gave loud cough.
This brought to the rear door of the
house the old woman who occupied it,
and who obtained living by selling
cakes and beer to passing wayfarers.
Lambert, in a feigned voice, asked to
spend the night within, and was at once
admitted. He had but crossed the
threshold when the report of muskct
was heard in the next room, and the ball
splintered the woodwork above his
head.
Without moments hesitation, Lam
bert, with nothing but his tomahawk in
his hand, sprang into the next room and
struck down the man in whose hand was
the still smoking musket. The williams
companion, the smaller man of tn, two,
at once fed the house. but before he had
passed beyond the light Of the fire with
in. the avenger with the wretch's own
rifle, brought him to the earth in strug.
gle with death that lasted but second. i.
AS soon as he had fired the shot, Lam
bert turned upon the PROSTATE murderer,
who was about to arise, and struck him a
second time, telling him to the floor again.
He then, with rope furnished him by
the old woman, bound the williams hands
and legs securely. In the morning the
avenger borrowed horse from the wo.
man. strapped upon its back the living and
dead murderers, and before nightfal! ar.
rived atStottler' inn. On the following
day the living man was publicly lynched
in front Of the inn, and the bodies were
then consigned to an unhcnored grave.
Lambert's companions, craveu-hearted
as they had proven themselves, we're
loud in praise of their daring leader, who
until the day Of his death, was hero
in the humble circle of life in which he
was placed.
