Strict Compliance with % Will.
(Concord IN. H. Monitor, July 5th.j

a few years ago Mr.. George NJ. Marsh
died in Portsmouth, and. after some Legal
cies, left the residue Of his property for an
Episcopal church to be built i'm a desig-
mated part OF that city, where was mill, in
which were employed good many English
people who were too far away to conve.
niently attend the services i'm st. John's
church. [Thc mill has since been burned
down, ana many OF the operatives have
left the town. At the time OF Mr.. Marsh's
death his property was thought TO be about
100000, or rather the portion Of ii left
for said church, but owing to an I'M
expected rise in mining and other
stocks. in little while it more than
doubled, till the trustees to whom II
was left found themselves in posses
sion OF over $4,000. Now that was
a large sum to use in building a church
in the not large city cf Portsmouth, par
ticularly as there was one Episcopal church
there already. But what was TO De done I.
The will expressly said all the money must
be put in said church. Could not pOr-
ton Of il be reserved for an endowment
for said church to keep il in repair and to
help pay the salary OF the rector? No;
men learned i'm the law decided that it
must all be put IN the church building, and
the result is the handsomcst and most
costly church in the diocese OF New
Hampshire. It is built OF stone, in the
most solid manner, the style being early
English pointed.

Asleep on an Engine.

English papers relate how the signal-man
nj Llandudno saved the Irish mail passen-
gers from what might have proved terri
HE fate. The sigDal-man at the junction
received message from the signal-man ut
Conway, the next station toward Holy
head. that lightengine was coming. The
junction signal-man knowing that the Irish
mail was due, decided to run the engine
into siding in order to permit the express
to pass. lie accordingly put up all the
signals against the light-engne, but to his
extreme establishment the engine came
straight into the junction at full speed,
swept round the corner, dashing past all the
danger-slgnals and disappeared from view
down the line toward Chester. A mo-
menrs reflection convinced the signalman
that both driver and stoker must be asleep.
lie accordingly wired to the CoIwyn-Bay
station signal-man "Engine coming |;
driver asleep; put fog signals on lne."
The man ut Colwyn Bay was equally
prompt, for, running out Of his box, he
had hardly time 10 lay number Of signals

A Mursier-IraD.

The following story is sent by the Paris
correspondent OF the London Chronicle l.:
The mystery surrounding Il prisoner at
Mazas named Marteau, who obstlnatey re-
fused TO give any particulars, is now
cleared up. The accused was recognized
by other prisoners taken into custody and
the police have continued their inyestiga-
ti0ns, finding out most extraordinary con-
spiracy to commit wholesale murder. The
mother Of Martcauand some young women
OF disrcputable character are implicated.
Martcau hired a house near the Boulevard
Menilmontant and had gang OF we'll
dressed young women TO persuade men Of
wealthy appearance to visit them. In a
dark passage there was trap-door com
municating with a cellar, in which, hOrri-
BILE to relate, there were large knives, new
ly sharpened. coarse. sponges, and tub TO
receive the blood of the victims. Happily
the arrest Of Captain Marteau has put an
end TO this hidcous plot. Several young
women have already given evidence to the
j,tge pinStructiOR."

A Gallant Bartender.
MIR. KIEF RESCUEs LADY FROM DROWNING
AT MANHATTAN BEACH.
New York Wofld.I


One of the most gallant acts OF heroism
was performed on Thursday by Mr.. Charles
Kief. bartender i'm the Gold Room at the
Manhattan Hotel. on Concy Island. Mr..
Kief is Young man, not over twcnty-three
years old. About | O'Clock Thursday after
noon he went to take a bath, and while
standing on the beach noticed Il gentleman
and lady swimming out some distance in
the surf. The sky was nj the time black
with clouds. The gentleman encouraged
the lady to follow him, which she did.
suddenly the storm burst, and the break
ers rolled in with white crests upon the
beach. The lady had reached out her hand
to the gentleman for assistance, as she was
growing weak. Just rs their hands clasped
both sunk beneath an immense billow.
The lady's little boy was PLAYING on the
sand, and uttered a cry Of horror ~ his
mother disappeared. Mr.. Kief gave his
belt an extra tight pull and bounded into
the surf. He had proceeded half way to
where the parties had disappeared when
the lady rose again, and Immediately sank
again.
Two seconds afterwards Mr.. Kief had
reached the place and dived down into the
water. The crowd by the bathing-pavilion
held their breath for second, and then
gave vent to a shout of applause as the
bartender rose with the lady clasped in
his arms. The gentleman appeared now.
and. with aterritied look on his face, struck
ont for the shore.
The lady did not faint, but was too weak
To swim. Mr.. Kief bore her calamity to
the shore amid immense cheering from the
crowd. When the lady reached the beach
She had recovered sufficiently to stand, and
murInured her thanks to MIR. kief, who
bowed, and, as the rain was now pouring
down, remarked that change OF clothing
would do the little boy good, went to his
bath-house.
The one thing about the case which
makes the gallantry OF Mr.. kief the more
conspicuous is his modesty. as yesterday
he refused TO speak on the subject.
