The calmness of desperation settled
down upon her as she read tbs dread
full note through to the end.
The footman brought her a second
note-this time from Charlie, who wrote
that he should be detained in the city,
and advised her not to wait dinner for
him.

need not be served. Your master will
not return until late, and I will have "a
cup of coffee in my own room.
She went up the grand staircase, her
long, rich robes trailing heavily behind
her, and her hands clasped tightly one
within the other.
A maid brought the requested cup OF
coffee, and then she was once more
alone.
Seating herself at the writing desk,
she penned long, sorrowful, tear
stained letter to st. Omar, confessing
all that bad hitherto been withheld

Two days later Mrs. Long snd her youngest
son, after drinking from the coffee pot, were
taken i'll, whereupon Mr.. Long sent for

Suspicion rested on the fourteen year old
daughter Of Mr.. Lang. DR.. DecheTt, the at

tell what she knew. She acknowledged
having placed the poison In the cup and

man Of Anthony's mental calibre may at
any time become dangerous to a community,
we claim that the parties who have been
guilty Of playing off tricks upon him are the

Fire Damp.


An expulsion Of fire damp took place in
the Laurel Hill slope Of A. Pardee & Co.,
Wednesday morning and the following per-
sons were burned: Joseph Harvey a miner,
John Schobell, laborer and John Meikrantz,
driver bay. When the miner and his la
borer were going to work the tire boss met
them at the bottom Of the slope and told
them there was FIRE damp in the gangway
in which they worked, and told them to be
careful. When they reached the face of the
gsngway they set their lamps on the bot
tom and proceeded To brush the gas, which
always hangs like a cloud at the top. away
from the face of the gangway into the AIR
passage They succeeded in this and pick
ed up their lamps TO proceed with work
when the driver came in with his cars and
forced the gas with the air back up to the
face and cunning in contact with their naked
lamps il exploded with the above result.
The men and the boy are all burned about
the hands aud face, but none seriously
There was but very small amount of gas
there at the time or the result would have
been more serious. This is, we believe, the
first explosion OF fire damp in the Laurel
Hill slope. .-Harieton Bulletin.
