What is the brain but a scrap
book? Ii when we are asleep some
one could peep in there, what would
he find? Lines from favorite poets,
stray bits of tunes and snatches
from songs, melodies from operas,
sentences from books, strange,
meaningless dates, recollections Of
childhood, vague and gradually
growing faint moments of perfect
happiness, hours of despair and
misery. The first kiss of childhood
lovers, the first parting of bosom
friends, and word of praise or the
word of blame Of fond mother,
pictures of men and women, hopes
and dreams that came to nothing,
unrequited kindness, gratitude for
favors, quarrels and reconciliations,
old jokes, and through all the
thread OF one deep and enduring
passion for some one man or woman
that has been q misery or delight.

The romantic story of The
House Of Orange" will be told in
the next Harper's by Prof. w. I.
Hewett, with a series OF most inter
estIng portraits of rulers of Hol-
land. There are few threads in all
history better worth following than
the account of the Dutch rulers
succeeding William the Silent, and
the recent sad death of the heir APP
parent lends an element Of present
pathos to the story. Among the
fine portraits will be those of the
present king, and tho late and the
present queen.

CHAPTER III.

CHATTER III.
1 soon learned that the doctor
bore the name Of being a desper-
ate character. He had fought sew
eral duels. l expected that he
would post me as coward, and he
did so, but he kept out of my way.
The people / saw attached great
Importance to what they termed the
defense of honor. No matter how
promptly a man resented an insult
and knocked the aggressor down,
he was not to be taken into the
fold of brave men until he had
shown his willingness to burn dan
gerous powder. When any one re-
preached me for not lighting the
doctor, 1 attempted to laugh it off,
but to my sorrow found that it
was q serious matter.
"He would have killed me" I
said one day to an acquaintance
who sat in my office
'Presumedly," he replied.

"Of course not, but what is life
unless it be honorable?'
"Do you mean that since l have
refused to fight a duel with that
desperate man mys life is ne
longer honorable?'
"The fact that people do think
you have acted dishonorably, you
cannot deny"

Il don't suppose she pays any

A HOA X.
An Alleged Confession Proves to be En-
tirely UnfOunded.

BosToN, Nov. %.
Its reported that Frazier Cunliff, the negro
who has always been suspected of the horri.
BILE murder of Mrs. Carleton in Watertown,
and who was recently sentenced to SIX years
in the State Prison for burglary in New York
has made a full confession to New York
officers, in which he gives all the details of
his terrible crime, and duplicates the hus.
band of Mrs. Carleton.
The alleged confession by the negro, Fra
zier Cunlif in New York, of the numbering
of Mrs. Eta Carleton of Watertown, Mass,
is now shown almost conclusively to be a
hoax. A private dispatch has been received
in this city from Chief Inspector Byrnes OF
New York, in which he stated that he knew
nothing of any such confession, and did moi
know of and had no record of the arrest OF
Cunlitf for burglary. The way the report
came about was this This morning, about
TO- 80, Officer Wiley of the second police OF
Cambridge, was approached by short, thick
set man, who asked him if he could direct
him to the house of Mr.. Underwood on Mag
azine street, and said he was looking fol

toms house the week Immediately following
the murder, and who took charge of the chill
dren of the murdered woman until they were
taken by relatives. This led to further con
versation, and during the walk to the house
he informed Officer Wiley that be was from
New York and was in the employ of Chief
Inspector Byrnes; that Frazier Cunliff hat
been arrested for burglary and sentenced tc
six years in the penitentiary and while in the
Toombs had confessed of the murder of Mrs
Carleton to the inspector. He said he was
over here looking the matter up. When he
reached the house of Mr. Underwood-wh he
is a son-in-law of Mrs. Brooks-he asked fol
her, but found she was away Whether he
was told where to LOOK for her or not is moi
known. After he left an effort was made tc
ascertain definitely his business with Mrs
Brooks. Underwood stated that the mans
call was in reference to an insurance litiga
ton over the burning of the house occupied
by the Carletons in WATERFOWL and that moth
ing was said about the Carleton murder.

MORMON TRICKS.
The Latter bay Saints Trying to Entrap
the Gentiles.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 23.
Deputy Marshal Vandercook, charged by
the police with lewdness, was taken before
the third district court today on a writ of
habeas corpus, claiming that the ordnance
under which he was arrested was invalid. A
hearing was set down for Friday next. Evil
dence accumulates that the agents of the
Mormon church have been employing for
months past spies and other dsreputable
characters to entrap the Gentiles. A copy
of the contract with one woman from San
Francisco has been procured, whereby she
agrees to come to this city and en-
gage in certain transactions, the nature of
which she knew and fully understood, and
for which she received 500 in cash, and was
to receive $1,000 for every prominent GENTLE
or federal officer entrapped. Disreputable
womenscame from other places, as is sup
posed, on similar contracts and, on arrival,
took private houses and flooded the mails
with notes to men whose names were furnish
ed them, asking them to call. Two more
arrests were made today, but no further ar
rests will be made till the district court de-
cides the habeas corpus case.

ing. A large crowd was in attendance, and
the utmost interest manifested. The pris-
oners will be heard separately. and the hear
ing will probably last two days Several
witnesses testified to seeing blood spots upon
the floor in Bakers room, upon the door of
his room and upon the stairs; also upon Mrs.
Bakers cloths and that Mrs. Bnker had told
conflicting stories as to how the blood came
on her clothing. Detective Reed, who made
a thorough examination of the house on the
day after the murder, testified that he saw
no blood on the door of Bakers room nor on
the stairs. This statement caused sensa-
ton in the court room. Reed also testified
that Augustus Wood (the neighbor on whom
the Bakers have sought to throw suspicion
told him that he (Wood) had gone back and
forth from Mrs. Prescott's room to Bakers
kitchen on the morning after the murder,
which statement directly contradicted the
sworn testimony Of Wood. After other evil
dence had been given on minor points Judge
WallAce ordered both prisoners committed to

Arrested for Setting the FIVE.

NEW YORK, Nov. %.
The accidental upsettiHg of kerosene lamr
in the rooms of Otto Matzorzsk, on the third
hoor OF five story tenement house on Easl

three lives, The house and the one ajioin-
were filled with Bohemian cigar makers en-
ployed in a neighboring cigar factory, and
lou people were sleeping in the building when
the cry of fire was raised.
The flames communicated to the floors
above though air shafts, and scene of wild
confusion and panic ensued. The frightened
tenants took to fire escapes with all haste,
and as firemen soon extinguished the flames
it was thought that all escaped. but in the
rear room of the top floor of No. 4O4 were
found Bohemian widow, forty years old, and
her two children, aged eleven and six years,
lying dead. They had been smothered. The
report spread early among the homeless ten
ants that the house had been deliberately sci
on fire by one of their number. Henry Kohul
Bohemian cigar maker, was named as the
guilty one. He had disappeared and could
not be found until later in the morning. BY
that time the police had collected evidence
enough to make charge of arson and MUIR
der against him.
The excitement of the Bohemians had be
come furious. and threats of lynching were
made if Kohul were found. stratagem was
resorted to, and when Kohul turned up at the
cigar factory he was told to go to the office
and settle up his insurance. He was not let
out again until the police had been sent for
and sufficient number arrived to protect
him. Kohul was insured for 5000, while his
furniture was scarcely worth S75. Kohul was
identified by one Of the tenants as the man
who threw something like water out of pail
on the burning stairs. 1t bazed up the min
ute it struck the stairs and then the witness
thought it was kerosene. Kohul was ar
raigned in court on charge of arson.

INJUNCTION GRANTED
Restraining the New York Central X. X.
from Guaranteeing Bonds.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov. %.
Saturday evening last, Justice Kennedy of
the Supreme Court, on motion of Louis Mar
shall, granted an injunction restraining the
N. Y. G. X. r. Co. from guaranteeing $50
OOO,OO bonds of the West Shore road, and
from perfecting the lease of the West Shore
for four hundred years. Mr. Marshall rep
resents 329 shares of the capital stock of the

Saturday next The injunction is the out
growth of the rejection of Marshals protest
made before the meeting Of the directors of
the Central road in ALBANY, Nov. 4 At that
time he argued that the leasing of the West
Shore by the contract was against public
policy and therefore void; that the statutes
of the state forbid the consolidating of par
allel and competing lines of railroad, and it
would entail an addition of $50, ,OO0, 900 to
the Central road, and thus deprecate the
Central stock.

An accident occurred on the BROOKLYN

cars left the Brooklyn side, and after run
ming down the incline reached the cable.
The grips of the first cars failed to catch the
cable, and the train was too heavy for the
grip of the third car alone, so it gave wav.
The train ran back, and as it neared the sta
ton it collided with the following train,
which had just started and taken the grip.

struck the front platform of the ascending
car, smashing the platforms and nearly all
the windows. A general panic among the
passengers of both trains followed the crash,

injured, but fortunately only slightly. But
for the fact that the brakemen applied their

tressing accident might have occurred.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The story that Counterfeit Coin is in
Circulation Proves to be Unf0unded.

OTTAWA. Nov. 2S.
The statement has been quite freely spread
that there is in circulation here a number of
counterfeit silver coin. The finance depart
ment has been investigating the statement
and traces il to the fact that the new coinage
has not the letter "H" in small size under
meath the wreath below the denomination of
the coin. The finance department desire to
have it generally known that sometimes when
the royal mint is unable to do the work for
Canada and other colonies, owing to the pres
sure of previous engagements. the mint
authorities employ Heaton 4 Sons of Bir-
mingham to manufacture the coin, in which
case that firm put the letter "H' on, and
when the royal mint does the work itself no
"H" is stamped on the coin. The presence
or absence of the "H" has nothing to do with
the genuineness of the silver coin of Canada.
