THE MESSAGE IN CIPHER.

Toronthal. and on his introduction had

banker and his agent had become ac-
completes, the object of their schemes
being the discovery of secret which
might cost the chiefs of the conspiracy
their lives, and the result, as the price
of their information, fortune falling
into the pocket of an adventurer, that it
might find its way into the strong box of
banker who had reached the point of
being unable to honor his engagements
A formal agreement had been drawn
mp between Toronthal and Sarcany, ac-
cordiug to which the expected profit
was to be shared equally. Sarcany was

ut eight clock Sarcany presented
/ m elf at the bank, and Toronthal gave
orders for him to be shown into the
Office Immediately.
"There is the grating" was all that
Sarcany said. as he laid the card on the
table
The banker took it, turned it round
and round, ierked his head first on one
side then the other, and did not seem at
ull to share in he confidence of his
associate.
Let us try it, said Sarcany.
"Well, we'll try it."
Toronthal took the fac-simile of the
message from one of the drawers in his
desk and laid it on the table
1t may be recollected that the message
was composed of eighteen words, each
containing six letters-the words being
quite uninteligible. It was obvious
that each letter ought to correspond with
a square of the card i; and consequently
that the six first words of the message,
composed of thirty-six letters, must have
been obtained by means of the thirty-six
squares.
And in the grating the arrangement Ut
the blank squares had been so ingen-
iously thought out that for every quarter
turn-that is. for the four times the
blank squares changed their position
they came in q different place
It will be seen that this must be So:
for if at the first application of the grnt-
ing to white PAL er the figures to are
inscribed in each blank space, and then,
after quarter turn the figures 10 to 10,
and then after another quarter turn the
figures 10 to 81, and then, after another
quarter turn, the figures 20 to SO, it will
be found that no square has two num-
bers, and that each of the thirty-six
squares is filled in.
Sarcany very naturally began on the six
first words of the message, intending to
make four successive applications of tho
grating. He then thought of treating
the next six, and then the six finals ID
the same way. and lhus use up the elgh-
teen words of the cryptogram.
It need scarcely be said that Sarcany
had told Toronthal what he intended to
do, and that the banker had approved Of
the plan.
Would the practice confirm the theory
Therein lay all the interest of the
experiment.
The eighteen words of the message.
were these

Then the grating was placed over the

At first they set to work to decipher

wrote them out on a sheet of white
paper, taking care to space the letters
and lines as to bring each letter under
one of the squares of the grating.
And this was the result.

Zirone sat facing Sarcany. and watched
him as he We rked. He was deeply inter-
ested in the performance, because he
thoroughly understood the system of

"Now that is ingenious, he said,
"highly ingenious, and may be of some
use! When I think that each of these

"And more!" said Sarcany.
The work was at an end. Sarcany

Our telegraphic reports of the elections

day are not as complete and as late as
they might have been. The reason Of
this is, that what Associated Press dis.
patches are sent to the interior press.

that are received by the evening papers
of San Francisco that are printed at
about 4 o'clock P. NJ. After that and un-
til toward 8 o'clock no more press dis.

The reports received to-day will no doubt
give definite results of the several State

One of Henry A. wise's Duels.

Henry A. Wise, after his first election
to congress, had long newspaper con-
troversy with his defeated competitor.
Mr.. Richard Coke, which finally led to
a duel. Bladensburg was the spot
selected, and it was a matter of general
notoriety, one pleasant January morn
ing in 1885, that the combatants had
gone to the "field of honor, each ac-
companied by q second and surgeon.
At II o'clock they appeared upon the
spot 1t is situated in valley not far
from the roadside and but Il few miles
from Washington. Several gentlemen
of the '.fancy, amateurs, and boys
collected about the place TO witness the
sport.
In the meanwhile many anxious
groups might be seen gathered about
the capitol, in the lobby and gal
leries of the house, in the library
and the rotunda, discussing the prob
able issue of the rencounter. At one
time a rumor was circulated that
Coke had been wounded ''in the thor
ak" Quidnuncs pressed forward to
learn the particulars. The next mo-

winged, and the same spirit Of ln-
quiry was manifested to hear the new
version of the affair At last the re-
turn of the spectators Of the fight
brought the intelligence that Coke had
been wounded in the arm, and that the
bullet, glancing, had entered his side.
He was hit while in the act Of raising
his hand to fire, and if lie had been
second quicker the shot would proba-
bly, have taken effect upolt his body
and proved mortal. Wise escaped IN
hurt, the bullet of his antagonist enter
ing the ground. Coke fell upon the
earth, and was pronounced by his sec
ond hors de combat. Upon this, MIR.
Wise went up to his bleeding foe, in-
quired into the state of his health, and
intimated his regret at seeing him
wounded. Both parties shortly after
ward shook hands and expressed them
selves mutually satisfied; and thus the
farce ended. Coke's wound was severe,
but not dangerous. Ben: Perley Poore.

On Marriage Bent.


Atlanta, Ga., has developed q matri-
monial crank named VIM. Fleming.
Friday morning he was given trial In
the police court Fleming is a hand
some, dashing man Of about twenty
eight years, ami about five feet five
inches, and weighs about 140 pounds.
His square shoulders. blue eyes, dreop-
ing mnstache and fair complexion COM
bine to make him a successful masher.
One week ago Fleming, whose home is
in Wilmington, Del, went to board
ing house on Forsythe street, Atlanta.
After making terms with the proprie-
tor, Fleming asked her how many daugh-
ters she had. The LADY seemed to be
ittle astonished at the question but re-
piled that she was the mother of two
daughters. Fleming then added to the
iady's astonishment by asking for de-
scription of the ladies' After supper
Fleming sought the parlor. There he
met the young ladies to whom he was
introduced. Fleming proved an agree
able companion, and after conversing
with the Younger of the two, he. sud-
denly remarked: ''Well, you suit me
exactly. like you and think you will
do.''
-tWhy, what do you mean?" indig-
, nantly asked the lady.
II mean want to marry you. Won
you be my wifeP You suit me ex-
actly."
'.No, | won't" said the young lady,
angrily, as she hurriedly left the room.
As soon as the young lady left the room
he turned his attention to her sister.
The conversation had not proceeded
far when he made a second proposal Of
marriage. This was treated like the
first. The next morning, while stand
ing on the front porch, he saw young
lady pass. Fleming asked some one
her name, and when he secured it he
followed her, and, after introducing
himself, asked permission to visit her.
The young lady referred Fleming to her
mother. Nothing daunted, he sought
the young ladY's mother and asked per-
mission to visit her daughter. His
good address secured his petition, and
that night he called upon the mother
and daughter. Before 10 o'clock he
begged the young lady to marry him.
His courtship was after the style of the
first night on Forsythe street. The la
dy declined the offer, but Fleming
was persistent, and continued to beg
until the clock struck /, when, in or
der to get rid of him, she promised to
marry him. the promise satisfied
Fleming, and he left. Early the next
morning the matter was brought to the
attention of the police department
The three young ladies appeared as
witnesses. Fleming was warned by
the recorder that in the future he must
only pour his tales of love into willing
ears
