Why He Paid.

A certain Mlchigander who had long
succeeded in lodging certain creditor,
was few weeks ago cornered in the of
flee of mutual friend, and the creditor
began:
''Sir! you have owed me 225 for
year past, and now / want to know
what you are going to do about itP''
"Well, I'll think it over"
There will be no thinking it over,
my friend If you don't pay me I'll
sue you"
"You willP"
81 will, sir -
'Then you'll be certain to get judg-
ment. The party which brings the sui t
always gets the verdict before justice.
Knowing this, you will take advantage
of meP"
81 will"
Every well. Now, then, l deny that
owe you a dollar" ..
you doP"
al do, sir; but in case you want to
borrow S25 of me for week here it is. "
81 don't care whether you call it pay
ing or lending, so long as / get my
money!" replied the creditor; and he
made out receipt in full and took the
money.
At the end of the week he was asked
to return the loan, but laughed at the
absurdty OF the request. SUIT was be-
gun to recover it, the mutual friend
used as witness, and the plaintiff re-
ceived judgment in his favor and had a
clean receipt to show for the debt.-De-

A MISPLACED KINDNESS.

On the death of Colonel Laking no
one was more surprised at his not hav-
ing left will than Mr.. Alfred Laking,
his nephew and heir. at-law. That gen.
tleman had the best reasons for know
ing that his uncle was not well disposed
toward HMM fact, the Colonel had
refused to have anything to do with him
Tor some years past. The truth was
that Alfred Laking was once guilty of
an act of meanness, which his uncle
never forgave, and, therefore, the fort
innate heir had not expected to benefit
by his uncle's death. But even out
siders, who knew nothing OF the cause
of arrangement between the Colonel
and his nephew, were amazed ut the old
gentleman dying intestate. He had so
frequently expressed his determination
of preventing his nephew from succeed
ing to his property, and had made so
many wills at different times with that
object, that his intestacy caused uni
versal astonishment. 1t was generally
supposed that his somewhat sudden
death had frustrated his testamentary
intentions, or else that, at the last mo-
ment, he had realized the force of the
old adage that blood is thicker than
water. and had been content to permit
his nephew to inherit by the ordinary
course of law.
But while Mr.. Alfred Laking received
the congratulations of his friends with
equanimity. and apparently acquiesced
in the general opinion that he was a
very lucky individual, he did not by any
means feel secure of his inheritance.
His natural cunning, and his mean, sus-
picious nature suggested the idea that
his uncle had not failed to take due pre-
cautions to guard against the contin-
gency which had happened. He did not
believe for an instant that the old man S
feelings had softened toward him in his
last moments, any sentiment approach
ing magnanimity being beyond the mar
row limits of his moral perceptions. In
his heart of hearts he felt convinced
that there was will in existence, and
that he owed his inheritance to the ac-
cidental circumstance of the document
having been mislaid or overlooked.
But tn ugh this oreboding possessed
him so strongly that it amounted almost
to m raj certainty, he took no steps to
verify his suspicious. On the contrary,
he carefully refrained from doing any
thing OF the kind He did, indeed,
stealthly and in secret scrutinize his
uncle's papers, destroying all those
which contained suspicious memoran
da. But he omitted to take the obvi
Gus course of advertising in the newspa'
pers, or applying to the various legaI
gentlemen whose services to his knowl-
edge-his uncle had from time to time
employed. He thought it possible
probable in fact--that one OF these
might be in possession of a will; but he
could never ummon up courage to ask.
He kept the fact of the old mans death
as quiet rs possible, not even announc
ing the event in the daily papers. He
employed strange solicitor to perform
the legal work connected with the adj
ministration of the estate. and. in short
endeavored to avoid publicity in ever!

THE BEACHAMP CASE.
After Notes of the Triai-A Denial by the
Brothers of the Deceased

BrOthers OF the Deceased.
RIDGELY, May 3.-The Beachamp brothers
deny the lneiDuatien of Mrs. VIM. F. Liden
that the letter which was found under the
carpet was production of theirs, gotten up
for the purpose of running the reputation of
Mrs. Belle Beachamp. They say that they
have good reason for suspecting who the real
writer was, and that they shall always be-
lieve the linden family could have ex.
planned matters had it been TO their interest
to do so. The Beachamps also say that the
poisoning point of the trial is still unex-
planned, They are convinced that poison
was not injected into the body after
death, but that it was the direct cause
of death and was administered with
murderous intent. 1t is their opinion that
NEST of the jurymen were OF this belief, and
would not have acquitted Mrs. Beachamp
If they could have punished her with any
sentence less than hanging. The Beachamp
brothers impressed strangers as being hon
est, upright, industrious men, who were
thoroughly conscientious.
The legal part of the trial was tremend-
Gus battle. Mr.. Gibson had added a great
deal to his reputation as criminal lawyer
and an eloquent speaker. Mr.. Russum
shows best when cross-examining witness
or in skilltully arranging the details Of a
case. Mr.. Downes is full of impetuosity
and is effective when addressing a jury.
Colonel Bryant is hard worker and clear,
vigorous speaker Mr. Mutchler is the
youngest of the group. He is man OF
solid ability.
OF the chemists aud experts, Prof Tonry
Secame the most popular on account of his
genillity. lie was nicknamed the "Little
I'm" Prof. Akin inspired respect with
the white people, and awe among the col
ored, who thought him wizard. Dr.
Schaetfer, of Washington, made many
friends, ana was Known as the "Spurter,

One Hundred Thousand Men Likely TO be
Idle--The p. q r.. shops Going On.
PITTsBURa, Pa, May 3.-The second con-
ference of iron manufacturers and the Anal
gamated Association Committees, which
was held this afternoon, lasted only 10 min
utes. President Jarrett on behalf OF the
workmens stated that no reduction In wages
would be accepted. The manufacturers
made no sponse, but moved 70 adjourn
sine die, which was done. Both committees
held secret meetings later, but declined to
divulge the proceedings. fG
The workmen profess to believe that the
manufacturers will withdraw their demand
for reduction before June 1, and that no
strike viii ensue. The manufacturers state
that the workmen are mistaken, and that II
reduction of 10 to 20 per cent. is not ac-
eepted the mills will shut down June and
remain closed till the workmen come to
terms.
The manufacturers freely state that they
expect strike, and have booked no orders
for delivery after June l. Thefeeling of the
general public is gloomy. Nearly 100, 900
men are employed In the mills Of the West,
including laborers, and their idleness will
greatly increase the existing depression in
trade. 0t,f r
One Of the most prominent manufAc-
tuners In the city, who was present at the
conference, said, looking upon the situation
as 1t now is, that It seemed almost certain
that the mills would be shut down the 1st oi

mhrose Callahan, a young man "a years
old and the son Of John Callahan, foreman
Of the boiler shops Of the Pusey q Jones
Company died at the Almshouse yesterday
of congestion of the brain.
Az his last illness was contracted under
neculiar circumstances a GAZETTE reporter
inouired around and learned the following
facts:
The Young man was seen standing alone
ON the corner of Front and Monroe streets
on Tuesday week last, BY q
Young lady, who says that while
Callahan was standing there two men
whom she did not know came up to him
and said: callahan don't you know US,
we used to heat rivets for your father at the
boiler shops" Callahan turned and said:
"No don't, and don't want to either"
He hardly finished the sentence when he
was hit and knocked down by both men who
Immediately ran away.
A passer-by helped Callahan to his feet
and took him to the Gas works on Madison
street. He was slightly under the influence
of LIQUOR and in attempting to 20 TO the
door Of the works fell backwards and hit
his head severely upon some hard pitch out
side, rendering him completely sensless.
He was picked up and carried into the
works where he was placed upon bench
and allowed to remain until morning when
the workmen tried to arouse him, but found
him to be delirious.
Every effort was made to obtain from him
his name and address, but in this they were
unsuccessful, SO that they had him conveyed
To the Almshouse.
DR.. Springer stated that the man COM
planned considerably of pain in his back but
repeated examination failed to find any
marks. The doctor said the young man was
delirious all the time and he could gain no In
