Mary, while la the city prison, retained a

Marys confession was proved by the prose-
cution, the young lawyer. by an ornate open
ing speech and minute questioning OF wit

the jury lost all patience The jury, as soon
as the case was submitted to them, convicted
Mary without quitting their seats.
Now that the case is over, gentlemen, "
Judge Gildersleeve said to the jury, 81 am at
liberty to tell you Of a story that has been
running In my mind throughout this trial.
1t Is about case ike this. A young lawyer
made an opening speech, hours long and wide
as the breadth between the poles III its range,
and then called his client to the witness
stand. The clients first words We're to the
effect that he was guilty, and that he had
never denied 1t. Loud laughter

The inSanity OF the young lady In Lyons,

shot herself, WIS induced by u crooked love
affair Her lover WAS Eugene Rainee, for
meily u resident of that village It would
seem that although she respected him always,
for n long time Miss Hoyey did not look
favoraby upon his suit, giving as y reason
that she did not love him we'll enough to
marry him, but he was very persistent, and
would take nothing but yes" as an answer
to his proposal of marriage. Under this
stress she finally gave reluctant consent;
but after he had gone away she repeated.
For days andSweeks this preyea upon her
mind the Thought that by having given
him an affirmative answer, which, sooner
or later, she felt she must recall she had
done him an irreparable injury. After
many attempts she wrote him II letter an-
nuling her engagement stating frankly her
reasons for such step, and returning
the engagement ring he had placed upon
her finger ut parting. Soon after this he was
taken ill he went South In hope that change
OF climate would DO beneficial to him, and he
died in Louisiana In November last On
hearing OF his DEATH NJ ISIS Hovey, already In
weak, nervous condition, ut once sprang to
the conclusion that she was the cause OF 1t.
Day and hight this idea haunted her One OF
her dreams, or visions, (Which she appeared
to regard as a direct revelation from heaven
was this: She stood at night upon an emf
nence, overlooking rushing, icy stream.
Dark clouds obscured the moon, and the air
was damp and chilly. Soon she deserted In
the semi darkness boat, with single occu-
pant, floating with terrific rapidity toward
an immens, cataract. The mans face she
could not see; but he was gesticulating
wildly. as II imploring succor from the fate
that impended him. On, on went the boat;
faster and faster grew its speed; wilder and
more despairingly still were the gestures OF
the unhappy man, until just as the frail bark
was about to 20 over the brink OF the awful
cataract into the seethlng waters below, the
occupant turned, and she recognized the fea-
lures Of her lover while a voice rang out
from the clouds, Another soul lost, lost
and charged to you"

In the present House the Conservatives have

The Great Tunnel of st. GOthard.

In 1870 Italy, Germany and Switzer-
land signed convention guaranteeing
sly 100000 to the company that would
construct the St. Gothard Railroad and
Tunnel, Italy giving 100000 Ger
many 100000 and yitzerland $4,-
OO0, 900. The original estimates of $37,-
100000 proved under the mark, and it
was found that $57, 100000 would be
required instead Germany added 49,
0OO, 900 to her subsidy, Italy 81, 900, 900
and Switzerland S1,60O,000. The work
was begun in the autumn of 1872. The
tunnel begins at Goeschesen, in de-
file where the river Reuss dashes be-
meath the famous DEVILS Bridge, and
ends at Airolo, where it overlooks the
pleasant pastoral valley of the Ticino.
Its length is nine and Il third miles
4S, 936 feet, to be exact; it is nineteen and
q half feet high and twenty-six feet in
maximum width. Twenty-six hundred
men have been mployed-Italians with
but few exceptions. The rock, which
has varied from hard granite gneiss on
the Swiss side, to gravel, sand and peb-
bles on the Italian, has been operated
upon in similar way to that followed
in the Gents Tunnel, dynamite being
used in blasting operations. Owing to
the greater homogeneity and the alb
sence of water, more rapid progress has
been made in tunneling through the
rocks than in dealing with the softer
material where the excessive infiltration
of water necessitates special drainage
arrangements, besides rctarding more
or less all branches of the work Thus,
in piercing bed of schist, water was
discharged in torrents, and often the
work had to be carried on under liquid
jets descending with the force of those
from Il fire-engine pump.
The st. Gothard Tunnel is only one
section of a railroad running from Lake
Lucerne, in Switzerland, to Lake Mag
giore, in Italy. Besides the big tunnel
there are twelve others, the shortest of
which, Warren, is LOG yards long,
while the longest, the Olberg, reaches
2,027 yards. The total length of these
twelve tunnels is very nearly ten miles
-15,578 meters. Then there are five
tunnels between 220 and $50, and
twenty-five between 10 and 220 yards,
making in all fifty-two subsidiary tun-
nels of an aggregate length of sixteen
miles. Between Immensee and Goes
chencn there will be thirty-three tun-
nels, between Airolo and Giubiasco,
seventeen. The line will be carried
over sixty-four bridges and viaducts, the
longest of which, that of CadennaZo, in
TessIn, will consist of five arches, each
having a span of fifty-five yards. The
total length of the Gothard line will be
I51 miles, seventeen per cent. of it being
tunnels and one per cent. bridges and
yiaductS.-N. y. Heraid
