CHAPTER \.

We found Mrs. Green and Brown sit. ting in the drawing.room. Brown seemed surprised at seeing Cartwright, evidently believing that he had not the courage to come.
 Now, Mrs. Green," said l, i've shall soon see who is false. Mir. Cartwright please relate what occurred incident to Mrs. Green $ visit to Mir. Browns office, the time she left note for me"
 And which promptly delivered,' ? Brown broke in, turning to Cartwright, with a smile that should have liked to strike with my fist. "Yes," he con- tinued, tell the lady how Mir. Barker read the letter and tore it into fragments. '
 " Never mind, Colonel Brown said I, " let us hear MT, Cartwright's statement"
 Why didn't Cartwright speak !? He sat, gazing at the floor.
 " l would really like to hear your state ment, MT. Cartwright" Mrs. Green said Her face was deathly pale and her man. ner was nervous and excited.
 "I was in the office at the time of Mrs. Greens visit" Cartwright began, speak ing to no one particularly, but continu- ing to gaze at the floor, and remem. Der that she-she spoke of Mir. Barker. Shelf l remember correctly-wrote a note and-and-asked Colonel Brown to deliver it to Mir Barker"
 (Which did," said Brown.
 "Wrote note," Cartwright continued, and asked Colonel Brown to deliver it. MT. Barker-Barker was out and when he came in"
 Brown cleared his throat.
 "When he came in, Colonel Brown gave him the note"

 Cartwright did not lift his head. Reel ing like drunken man, I passed out oi the house. Everything swam before me. How l reached home know not, but know that late at night awoke with q burning fever. l don't know how the days passed. but occasionally l seemed to

 l related the experience through which had passed. He listened attentively and when had concluded, he said:
 "So he rushed in a witness, eh? Oh, he's captain. Now what do you pro- posep

 " Is Brown still there?'
 "Yes, 1 suppose so."

 He might have me discharged. That would settle me, for when a humorist changes from one paper to another, un- less the step is one considerably higher, people say that he is worn out, and when people begin to make such assertions he'd just as we'll be worn out"
 Your argument is not based on reas- on," rejoined, but if he should have you discharged, I'll see that you proht by it. We can go in together and write books"

 Let me see it"
 :" haven't It with me. Confound it, can't you believe what man says?"
 Oh, yes, that's fact"
 He arose, stretched himself, walked about the room, sat down lszily and said
 Well, l don't suppose there is any need to be in hurry about it, is there ?
 "Of course, there is. want you to come with me now. The carriage is waiting"
 !" l ought to get myself up in a li:tle better shape than this"
 No, you are all right"
 " You say Browns there ?"

 Don't think, then, that he's gone :? There you go. never saw such man. As soon as begin to reason, you fly of the handle. Let me tell you: Nobody hates Brown more than do, and only need little backing to stand up to him. The backing want is to see my financial way clear, and, if you are in earnes, about taking me in with you, I'll make the con- fession."
 l grasped Cartwright's hand and swore by all things holy that was sincere.

at Point Marion.

Special Correspondence OF the New Dominion.
POINT MARION, Dee. Eve had
quite fire yesterday morning be-
tween five and six o'clock; fire
that cost its owner about 81 200. A
son of Mr.. ST. Saddler went out to
the barn to feed, carrying with him
a lantern. While climbing up into
the hay NOW he dropped the lantern
onto the lower floor when it explod-
ed, at once setting the building
ablaze
1t was soon in ashes, together
with five tons of hay, $50 bushels of
corn, 2 moving machines, wheat
drill, l spring wagon, A or 5 sets OF
harness, some oats and quantity
of straw-all the feed he had, ex-
cepting a few shocks of fodder. Five
horses were in the stable at the
time but were gotten out in time to
save their lives. 1t was an old fash
Toned barn, but a good one.
Mr.. Saddler's loss is $1,000 OF
81, POO. He has the sympathy of all
his friends. He is going to rebuild
at once.
Point Marion is rapidly building
up. Board walks are being laid on
the principal streets, and when the
railroads are built it will swell out
until it will burst the buttons off its
coat.

"The progress of journalism in
the United States within the past
few years has been truly wonderful.
This advancement has not been
in the discovery of new fields, but in
the cultivation of those hitherto neg
leeted. In local journalism this de
yelopment 10 best illustrated in the
increased interest taken in the col
lection of home news. The early
journals of Monongalia, as well as
other country newspapers every
where, filled their columns with news
items of the Old World, clippings,
and the like. The happenings of
home had little or no space in them.
Indeed, more history is found among
the advertisements of these old pa
pers than in their columns of ''read-
ing matter" Editors Of country
journals, however, were forced to
learn that, with their limited space
and facilities, they could not com
pete with the city weeklies in the
publication of the general news; but
that their energies must be confined
principally to the development Of the
field whose boundaries are common
surate with the geographical inter
ests of their readers. The country
weekly and the city daily and weekly
each has a field of it's own, and
neither one covers both. 81
In this great journalistic advance,
the newspapers of Monongalia have
not been behind. To-day better
home newspapers are nowhere to be
found in the State than are those of
this county; nor do we know of coun-
try newspapers of counties of equal
population and wealth anywhere
which surpass them in the full and
complete chronicling of the events of
their territory.
The first paper published in Mon
ongalia County (1S03) WAS, also, the
first published in the State west of
the Allegheny Mountains.
The following are the names of
the papers which have been pub
lished in Monongalia County.

Hendricks President of the Senate
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to-day. Hen
bricks the most dauntless advocate
of all that was Democratic-Sher-
man the bitterest champion of ex-
IRENE Republicanism. And yet the
change caused only passing ripple
of discomfort beyond the great wave
of sorrow that broke on the shores
when it was said that the Vice Pres
ident was dead. Surely our Govern
ment is gold tried in the fire.
The reports of an expected Nor
mon uprising and massing of United
States troops within the Salt Lake
Valley in anticipation of the coming
conflict are probably somewhat
exaggerated. The leading Mormons
are doubtless crashing their teeth,
some of them in prison and more of
them in prospect of incarceration.
They would like to fight if there was
the faintest show of success in a
conflict of this kind. But it is not
conceivable that they have so far
lost their senses as to seriously con-
template armed rebellion. The adj
vocates of slavery, with twelve mil
lions of people at their back, tried
that experiment with such disastrous
results that the folly of a few hun
bred thousand attempting the same
thing would be past all belief. The
Mormons are doubtless grievously
disappointed at their present predic-
ament. They emigrated to Utah
when the Territory belonged to
Mexico, for the express purpose of
getting out of the United States.
The results of the Mexican war
brought them within the Jurisdiction
OF the hated government and they
have since been playing stupen-
dous game of bluff with the legal
authorities. This is available no
longer, and they are both mad and
disheartened, but they will probably
go the length of committing hari-kari
by inaugurating hostilities.-P hla-

the Baking Pow.
ders.

Under the direction of the New
York State Board of Health, eighty
four different kinds of baking pow
dsrs, embracing all the brands that
could be found for sale in the State,
were submitted to examination and
analysis by Prof. c. F. CHANDLER, a
Member of the State Board and
President of the New York City
Board of Health, assisted by Prof.
EDWARD G. LOVE, the well-known
late United State Government
chemist.
The official report shows that a
large number of the powders exam
ined were found to contain alum or
lime; many of them to such an ex-
tent as to render them seriously OBJ
jectionable for use in the prepare
tion of human food.
Alum was found in twenty nine
samples. This drug is employed in
baking powders to cheaper their
cost. The presence of lime is at
tributed to the impure cream of tar
tar of commerce used in their manu-
facture. Such cream of tartar was
also analysed, and found to contain
lime and other impurities; in some
samples to the extent of SO per cent
of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the
market, with the single exception of
Royal mot including the alum
and phosphate powders, which were
long since discarded as unsafe or
inefficient by prudent house-keepers)
are made from the impure cream of
tartar of commerce, and conse-
quently contain lime to a CORE
spending extent.
The only baking powder yet
found by chemical analysis to be en-
tirely free from lime and absolutely
pure is the Royal This perfect
purity results from the exclusive
use of cream of tartar specially re-
fined and prepared by patent pro-
cesses of the N. Y. Tarter Co., which
totally remove the tartrate of lime
and other impurities. The cost of
this chemically pure cream Of tartar
is much greater than any other, and
on account of this greater cost is
used in no baking powder but the
Royal" s ff7s
Prot. Love, who made the analysis
of baking powders for the New York
State Board of Health, as we'll
as for the Government, says of the
purity and wholesomeness Of
"Royal:"
II have tested package of Royal
Baker Powder which l purchased in
the open market, and find it compos-
ed of pure and wholesome ingredi-
ents. 1t is a cream of tartar powder
of high degree of merit, and does
not contain either alum or phos
pilates or any injurious substances

the horrible condition of the public
roads. In some places they have
not been worked at all since last
spring, and in others the bottomless

good resolutions. There is cause for
this wall.
