foot of the mountain, and he could walk
there in time to join them or horseback.
A brisk tramp of a few miles brought the
young man to the station where guides and
horses were taken for the ascent. But
with the exception of Mrs. Burleigh, who
was comfortably ensconced in the farm
house parlor, her courage having failed al
the last moment, none of the party was
visible. The rest were already on Their
way up the great slopes of the mountain
and had taken the last horse from the
stable with them.
There was nothing left for him but q
days climbing on his own account, whether
or not fortune brought him into the society
OF his friends. So, cutting a stout staff
he set out with swinging step up the
bridle-path. He passed the cold spring
near which was the fresh imprint of a little
boot in the moist earth, telling that here
Alice had dismounted, and perhaps drank
from the very tin dipper which Chiffon, on
the chance of it. put reverently to his owl
lips. He passed on and upward into the
region of broad lodges, past small planta-
lions OF stunted pines, ash and cedars. Far
above him once he caught sight of the
little cavalcade moving like a march Of
ants. Here the bridle- path made q wide
detour to the northward to avoid the
precipitous slope of the eastern side. Let
him take the chord of the arc described by
tne Travelled way. ana ne would gain a
half-hour ard meet them at the summit.
It was a rough scramble after leaving
the path: more difficult than he had
imagined. He battled his way through
interlaced scrub, scaled slippery incline,
clambered a pretpice. Then he found
himself among powders, great fragments
split by frost and storm from the lodges,
and set standing apart until storm and
frost should again dislodge them for reel
ing plunge down themo1ntain. They stood
breast-high in terraces, With marrow paths
between, or hung halancing over each
other. Chiffon leaped nom bowlder to
bowlder on his upward path, helping him
self now with his hands, now with his stan.

Frequent pyrotechnic displays along

attraction to the mystic march.
The goat and traitor were properly

the ceremony OF burning the traitor
took place at the Ball square, and was
witnessed by numerous throngs, to
many of whom the spectacle was novel.

FORT WORTH, Feb. l7-[Special. AT

there were sixty-four persons in jail,
which number was reduced to fOrty-two
by convictions and removals to the

increased TO tiItv-iive by arrests.

CHICAGO, Feb. F.-Sullivan went on
the stand in the federal court this morn-
ing and rehearsed the story told in his
affidavit oi his suoornation by Mackin,
To commit perjury. The revelation ere
ated u sensation In the jury box. The
members OF the jury being closely
guarded, this was the first intimation
they had Of what was coming.
The confession of j. j. sullivan, n
witness for the defense in the Mackin
case. to the effect that, for four silver
dollars and the promise of a place in the
Washington, he committed per-
jury, and the testimony which
he gave last week was
at Mackiu's dictation, has produced
great CONSERVATION among the parties
implicated. O'Brien, the man who is
alleged 10 haYe acted as the go-between
for Mackin and Sullivan, and who first
broached Mackin's scheme 10 the latter,
was arrested this mornir z, and warrants
have also boon issued Tor the arrest OF
Titman and Simmons,two other Of Mac
kin's witnesses. =.
Titman, owner of the presses on which
Sullivan swore he printed the bogus
tickets on the night OF Nov. 3, was also
arrested, and he confessed that he swore
falsely in saying that he rented the
presses to Sullivan on the occa-
sion; that w. j. Gallagher,
one of the defendants, approached
him on the subject, about three weeks
ago, and it was arranged between HIM
self and Gallagher and Mackin that he
should give this false evidence.
Titman was put on the tho stand this
afternoon, and swOre to substantially
the above facts.
To-day's revelations have created a
sensation, AS they break down the en-
tire theory of the defense and leave the
damaging testimony of the prosecution
uncontradicted, except by Mackin, the
principal defendant, who testified this
afternoon that he did not hire Sullivan
to commit perjury.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 7.-(Special.l !
Train men in tonight from Laredo re-
port that about II miles south Of town
to-day they passed the dead body of a
Mexican, which hung suspended to the
limb of a tree which grew near the road.
The mans face WAS uncovered, his
tongue was hanging out, and
from the cursory examination
made il was concluded he had been
dead some hours. He was not identi-
fed and no cause for the act is assigned.
Some trouble has been lately expe-
rienced in that neighborhood from
thieves and he was perhaps hanged by
mulcted cattiemen.
