Improvements now under way and those projected.
We aim in this series to embrace all sections OF

ward from 9th. Between 9th and 10th streets the
Masonic Temple stood as the one object OF interest
to strangers West OF 1t was the GonZaga college,
and adjoining the St Patrick's church property.
The former has been pulled down, the ground sub
divided into building lots, every one OF which has
been sold, the average price being s. per square

COyle, Mr.. Waggaman, and Others. The church

Office purposes Since then we learn that every
lot has been leased and arrangements are being

marked. MeSsrs. Milne & Proctor and MessrS.

CUMBERLAND, MD, May ~, 1882
An important conference between President
Charles F. Mayer, OF the Consolidation coal COM
pany, and committee Of miners belonging to that
company was held at the Queen City hotel this
afternoon. President Mayer told the committee
that he would give his former employees a few
more days to make up their minds whether to
accept what the company offers, and, in case OF
their refusing to go to work. that he had resolved
to introduce other labor In few days
Mr.. Mayer left for Baltimore In the p. M train,
and before leaving was very reticent about the
conference, being surrounded by a number OF
newspaper reporters who were not able to extract
much from him. 1t is thought tonight that the
executive committee OF the Knights of Labor Will
hold another meeting Immediately to take into
consideration this matter, who will report In few
days their decision. It looks as IL there would be
determination on the part OF the miners to 60 to
work in few days rather than see imported labor
brought here. w. II. @.

THE CHALLENGE.


Hartley Brandon. | brand YOU as a
liar!''
a silence like death ensued in the as
sembly room of the Crystal Lake Boat
Club as these words, uttered, in calm hut
forcible tone, rang through the hall
flushed was all conversation now, and
all eyes were turned upon the speaker,
who stood with his back TO tie closed
door of the spacious apartment.
Tall and erect was his handsome, figure.
and betokenin2 in every inch of its mu>c,-
lar proportions. wire and strength most
remarkable.
The chestnut curls were thrown careless
ly back from the lofty brow. and the firm
untlinching blue eyes flashed defiance upon
the object of his wrath.
Hartley Brandon, the recipient Of the
rather pointed accusation. confronted the
speaker with an angry attitude. his short
stocky form drawn up to its fullest height.
and his coarse, bloated Visage working
with fierce expressions of hatred and
maleVOlcnce.
Both were members of the club, the first
by name Thomas Hathaway, the son Of a
poor but honest church going machinist.
Hartley Brandon was old Wesley Bran
dOn's son, the richest nam in Fairview
and who also bore the by no means envi-
able name of the meanest.
1t was the occasion of the final meet
ing Of the club previaIls to the great re-
gatta, TO be held the following day. All
the members were present, and the presi.
! denl was about to rap the assembly to
order, when Thomas Hathaways forci.
BILE exclamation reSOundpd through the
apartment.
Instantly things brcame upon the qu,
rirc, ami all turned in the direction of the
/ excitement. Trouble was rightly antici
/ pated. for the members Of the CRYSTAL
| Wave Club were. without exception. Young
men of blood, and who never allow an ia.
/ suit to go unavenged.
/ Hartley Brandon. brand YOU a. ;
! liar"
Hartley Brandon drew back as though
shot by bullet, and then frightful glean
! of maleyolence shot into his dark ewes
and his right arm was raised in menacing
attitude
Dare you call me a liar, Thomas Hath
away ?"
Hartley Brandon, | speak bat the
/ truth. You lie. and yOn know it, if yeu
say that fouled you in last years races
You know that you turned my stake in
stead of your own. so forcing me almost
to the father shore, and in truth foulins

your stake, and did not foul you. Yol

" DO not give me the lie, Hartley Brandon
or you may rue it TO the last day of youl

It's demeSneS cXlehueu lar DacK from the
street or avenue upon which it stood, en-
bracing in all some hundred acres of wood
land, merging finally upon lower coun-
try road upon the shores of Crystal Lake.
The proprietor of this lordly estate was
New York speculator in Wall street, by
name Howard Stockwell. The family con-
sisted of two children, the mother having
died five years previous to the opening Of
this story.
The children were boy and girl, botn
now pretty well matured, especially the
former, Ralph Stockwell, who was tall,
splendidly proportioned young man, gen
orally beloved by all who knew him, and
who held the by no means unimportant
position of president of the Crystal Wave
Boat Club.
But of all the fair girls in Fairyiew, and
there were not few TO tell the truth,
pretty Minnie Stockwell was fairer and
gentler than all, and the acknowledged
belle of the town,
She was in figure about the average
height, but graceful in her movements,
which lent additional charms to her fair
person. Her complexion was light but
fresh and rosy, and indicative of blooming
health.
i All the gallants of aristocratic Fairview
were madly infatuated with this beautiful
maiden, who, indeed, seemed as unmind-
fnl of the fact, as though she were not re-
minded of it hundred tinaes day
But though wealth, pomp and beauty
paid respective homage 10 her charms, and
it was an undisputed fact that, her choice
among the vast company of the young
scions of wealth who faWned upon her,
and who would give their all for single
ray of hope, she coldly turned from them
and though maintaining her habitual air
of gentleness, offered NO encouragement
And this very eceentricity," as it might
