CHAPTER vi.


The spring of the year had come
round; but home was no longer home to
Ross Cumnor. In vain had he tried to
stem the torrent that was gradually
sweeping him from all place and posi-
ton. As the baby-boy, Hugh, grew
stronger day after day, Lady Cumnor
grew more insolent, more urgent that
Ross should leave home, and more anx-
ious that her son should be at least heir
Of Larchton Mere.
Good-natured. kindly, indoleut Sir
Austen never dreamed why she ques-
toned him SO closely about his title,
lands and money; he was the last ever
to suspect evil in any one. So, when
he stood one morning on the terrace
overlooking the mere, and she came up
to him, he never imagined that that
was the first of a series of investiga-
tions and suggestions that were to end
in driving his elder son from home and
making his younger son heir to
Larchton Mere. Lady Cumnor went
up TO him with the naughty grace that
was peculiar TO her and laid her hand
on his shoulder.
"Are you looking over your broad
lands, AustenP' she said. They are
a goodly inheritance"
Her ladyship's voice and touch al
ways soothed him, and he was almost
powerless in her hands. He could
never resist her; he had neither the
will nor the energy. 1t would have
been amusing had It not been pitiful to
see how completely she managed him.
how skillfully she brought him round
to her way of thinking; while he

THE INDIANS.
A Fight With the Red Men at Wilcox,
Arizona.

SANTA Fee, Oct. 9. An FL Paso special
says that passengers, via. Southern Pacific
r. R., report that Thursday night, when the
train was passing Wilcox, Arizona, fight
was in progress between the citizens and the
Indians The Indians seemed to have made
an attack on the whites, who. thrown into
great confusion, were retreating. Firing of
guns, which were fierce ard constant, drowned
the noise of the train and was heard for a
number of miles. The bodies of five line
repairers were seen near the track shot
through the head. This is the second party
of telegraph men murdered in the last few
days. Nothing has been received confirma-
tory of the above at the district headquarters
here.
TUsCoN, Arizona. Oct. 8. A special from
San Carlos, yesterday, says this morning
Col. Tiffany arrested Ashay, who, the
friendly Indians say. is the murderer of Capt
Henton. In his examination. he acknowl-
edged being in the Cibica fight and firing two
of the first shots. lie also said he was of
the party which killed Turner and Moody at

did not go to the ranch. The agency scouts

and democratic senatorial caucus met IN the

republicans being absent. The new seha-
ators, Lapham, Miller and Aldrich were pres

After remaining in session an hour or more

ed to a respectable and firm protest against
such action on the part of the democrats and
not to fllibustering to prevent it. The dem
ocrats still remain in session, and have de-
cided TO proceed with the election of presl-
dent pro tenn. as the first step on Monday
next. Bayard was unanimously determined
upon as their candidate.
The democratic caucus appointed COM
mittee consisting of Pendleton. Garland,

the president pro tenn Of the Senate, and he
is to be elected before the senators-elect,
Warner Miller and Lapham of New York
and Aldrich of Rhode Island, are sworn in
This programme is the result of the confer
ences held by the two sides today. Although
it is probable that this programme will be
carried out without trouble, there exists to-
night great deal of bad feeling on both sides
and there is much talk about broken pl edges
and unlawful promises. There are some re-
publicans and sDme democrats who believed
yesterday that the caucuses of today were to
meet, as it were, in one room. They thought
that the first act of each caucus would be the
appointment of members TO represent 1t on a
conference committee, and that, pending the
report of that committee suggesting COM
promise, nothing whatever would be done.
The republicans of this mind believed, or
said they did, that the democrats would con-
cede to them about all there was to cOncede,
and the democrats, entertaining this belief,
expressed themselves as certain that the re-
publicans would meet them in the spirit of
limtless concession. These gentlemen seem
to believe that their confreres had no desire
other than that of boundless Cancellation, and
they would be willing to concede everything
at issue in order to secure "harmOny."
These gentlemen are very mnch surprised
tonight. Nothing happened As they expected
it would. The democratic caucus met at IL,
and so did the republican caucus. This was
the only point of similarity.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. George Scoville,
Guiteaus counsel and brother-in-law. who
recently returned from New York, said to a
reporter. Saturday. that he did not make anv
arrangement in that city for counsel to assist
him in conducting Guiteau's defence. 1t is
my intention, he said, to ask Richard f.
Merrick, a prominent lawyer of this city,
to become associate counsel. If the latter
declines. he then will ask the court to assign
either Mr.. Merrick, or some other compe-
tent lawyer to assist him. Scoville thinks
Guiteau will be arraigned TUESDAY, morning
next, and says that IL he conducts the case
alone he will put Guiteau on the stand in his
own defence, as his first witness.
