CHAPTER XII.
A MEETING IN THE srRADoNE.

The death made good deal of noise
in the town but no one suspected that
Sarcany and Silas Toronthal were in any
way concerned in it.
Neither Madame Toronthal nor her
daughter heard anything about the
death, precautions having been taken
by Toronthal and his destined son-in-
law to keep it from their ears.
1t had been agreed that the wedding
should be very quiet one. AS an
excuse it was given ont that Sarcanys
family were in mourning. This was
hardly in accordance with Toronthals
usual love of show, but he thought it
better that no more fuss than necessary
should be made. The newly-married
couple were to remain q few days at
Ragusa, and then leave for Tripoli,

CHAPTER x.
ANOTHER BLOW.

Evidently the bunker had had to yield
to the threats of the man who could
destroy him by word. Neither his
wife's prayers nor Sava's horror awaited
anything against the father who claimed
to dispose of his daughter as best suited
his convenience.
One word only as to Sarcanv's interest
in the marrage-an interest he had not
thought it worth while to hide from
Toronthal. Sarcany was now ruined.
The fortune which had been sufficient
to help Toronthal ont of his difficulties
had hardly been enough to keep the
ndventrrer during the fifteen years.
Since his departure from Trieste Sarcanv
had run through Europe, living in the
height OF extravaganza, and til, hotels
of Paris, London, Berlin, Vienna and
Rome had never had windows enough
for him to throw the money through to
CRAFTY his fancies. After q career of
pleasure he had taken to gambling to
finish his ruin, and had visited nearly
every famous gaming haunt on the
Continent.
Zlrone had of course been his constant
companion, and when the money had
been run through they had returned
together to the east of Sicily and waited
till an opportunity offered to resume the
connection with the banker of Trieste.
Nothing could be simpler than that he
could restore his fortunes by marrying
Sava, the sole heiress of the rich Silas
Toronthal-who could refuse him moth
ing.
In fact no refusal was possible, and no
refusal was attempted. Perhaps after
all between the two men there was still
something hidden concerning the pro-
blem they were seeking to solve which
the future would reveal!
However. very clear explanation
was required from Sava by her father.
What would she do?
"My honor depends on the marriage. {"
said Sllas To"onthal, land the marriage
must take place"
When Sava took back the reply to her
mother she nearly tainted in her daugh.
ter arms and burst into tears of despair.
TolOnthal had then told the truth.
The wedding was fixed for the 9th of
July.
We can imagine what a life had been
led by Pierre during these three weeks.
His misery was dreadful. A prey to
lmpotent rage sometimes he remained at
home in the Rue Marinella; sometimes
he escaped from the accursed town, and
his mother feared he would never return.
What consolation could she offer him
While no marriage was talked of, while
Pierre Bathory was repulsed by Savas
father, some hope did remain. But
with Sava married came new abyss
an abyss that could not be bridged.
Doctor Antelirtt in spite of his promises
had abandoned Pierre And besides,
she asked herself, how could the Young
lady who loved him, and whose energetic
nature she knew, how could she agree
to this union? What was the mystery
In the house in the Stradone which
brought such things about? Pierre
would have done better to leave Ragusa
to accept the situation which had heen
offered him abroad. to go far away from
Sava II they were going to hand her
over to this stranger, this Sarcanyl
Despair had in truth entered the house
which ray of happiness had frightened
but for few days.

THE DOMINION.

Premier Fielding, of Nova Scotia, Thinks
Confederation Has Proved Failure.
HALIFAX, n. S., May 29.-In an address
Just issued by Premier Fielding the follow
ing occurs "ln the opinion of the Govern
ment the time has come when the people of
Nova Scotia should dice more make an eff
Tort to obtain release from the union into
which they were forced. The dissatistac-
ton is so wide and deep that many are
heard to say that no change could be fol-
the worse. Some of those who were the
warmest advocates of confederation in 1867
are now the most outspOken in expressions
of hostility to it. After the failure of the
repeal legislation of 1869 to accom-
pIsh its main purpose, the peO-
pie settled down, not cheer
fully, it must be admitted, to make the best
of the situation. Give the union fair
trial. said some. 1t has had a long and
more than fair trial, and the verdict against

assured by the fathers Of the confederation
that the affairs of the Dominion could be
carried on for twenty years or more at an
annual cost of S11, 100000 or ST., 0OO,OO0.
but the expenditure now exceeds the enOr-
nous sum of S35, ZOO, 900, while the inter
est and charges in connection with the pub
lie debt absorbs nearly as much as we were
told would pay the total expense Of the

RED MEN.
Further Outrages Committed by This Des-

Further Outrages Committed by This Des-
picabie Organization.
WHEELING, w. Va, May 29.-Ritchie
county once more comes to the front with
one of the ElOst d!abolical outrages ever
perpetrated within the borders of the State.
AS on other occasions of this nature the
perpetrators of the crime are what are
known as "Red Men," the organization of
outlaws which for half dozen years has
flourished in this State in despite of all
the efforts OF the authorities to stamp
Il out. The victims, this time, are Mr.. and
Mrs. George Keck, who live OH Grass Run,
in Richie County. Two nights ago they
were suddenly aroused by shouts
of mob which had surrounded
their house, and OH tlle doors
being opened the RED Men, took posses
sion, tied Mr.. keck and wife, took them
into the woods near by, roped them to
trees and beat them in the most brutal
manner with hickory switches. The fends
then burned the dwelling and its contents
to the ground and departed. After day
light MFR. Keck succeeded in releasing him
self, and after releasing his bleeding and
fainting wife and bringing her to
place of safety, sw0re out warrants
for such of the mob as he had
been able to recognize, and twelve OF them
have been arrested and jailed. Other ar
tests will be made. The crime is denounced
wherever known and public sentiment will
demand prompt and adequate punishment.

The Maxwell Case.

ST. LOUIS, May 29.-The proceedings in
the Maxwell murder case were rather tame
yesterday in comparison to those of the last
few days, the time being occupied with ex-
pert medical testimony. DR.. Louis Bauer,
dean of the 81. Louis College of Physicians
and Surgeons and demonstration in surgery,
testified for the defense as to the nature
and methods of using chlorOform. The tes-
timOny of Dr.. Bauer consumed time up to
1 80 o'clock, when the court took q recess,
after which the dispositions taken in Hyde,
England, showing that the defendant white
living there bore a good character were
read, and this occupied the remainder of
the afternoon.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

POwdcrly Discourses on the Objects of tho
Order.
CLEVELAND, O., May 27.-The Knights
of Labor met at ten o'clock yesterday. The
first business transacted was the election of
new delegates. who were not present at
the las~ general assembly held at Hamil-
ton, Ontario. No assembly was permitted
to be represented at the Hamilton conven.
ton. General Master Workman Powderiy
made an address, in which he referred to
the order and lis remarkable growth, strikes
and their righteousness in all actions OF
strikes, boycotts and the relation of the or
der to ali other orders. Delegates and
standing committees were then appointed.
Special committees were appointed on the
address of the WOman'S Christian Temper
ance Union, also on the plan of Edward
Norton, of Chicago, who suggested a man
ufacturers' union. To give all the COM
mittecs a chance to get through the cOnven-
ton adjourned, and the remainder of the
day was devoted to committees. a plan is
on foot to call in all commissions of the
present organizers and reissue some and
drop others. The injudciols conduct of
many organizers it is thought has caused
the order great deal OF trouble.
In his address, Master Workman
Powderly said: 1.-The multiplicity of strikes
that have occurred in the past six mouths
have greatly lowered our order in the pub
lie estimation. OF course a great many
strikes are attributed to us with which We
should not be credited, but on the other
land, many that are charged to US we are
responsible for" In closing he said: Il
will see 10 one; l will attend TO no other
business until this convention is over

prepared to stay with me-"

CHOLERA PREVENTION.
Inutflity of COerciye guarantees and th
Advantages of Sanitation.

Inutility of COerciye guarantees and the
Advantages of Sanitation.
At lecture in Exeter Hall, London,
Sir Joseph Fayrer, the distinguished
Indian physician, said that though the
real cause of cholera was still un-
known, yet the laws which affected its
production, development and diffusion
had been so far ascertained by observa-
ton that, happily, the measures by
which its progress might be stayed and
its fatality mitigated were now suf-
ficiently we'll known as to come well
within the scope of sanitary work.
Hence all were agreed as to the pre-
ventive effect of measures OF sanitation.
Sir Joseph Fayrer rejected the theory
of contagion by personal intercourse,
and therefore condemned in strong
terms the inutility of all coercive meas
ures of guarantees and cOrdOns. The
British and Indian Governments, who
based their action in the matter on we'll
ascertaincd facts, had wisely discOn-
tinued all quarantine measures on both
sea and land, and relied solely upon
sanitary laws. And here, remarked
the lecturer. he came to the lesson
which he wished to impress earnestly
on every one of them, and which was
main object of his lectures-what it
behooves each individual of the COM
munity to do, whether as regarded
himself or the town in which he lived,
when cholera manifested itself in the
country. AS he believed that in per-
feet sanitation lay the sole means of
preventing the disease, so if it APP
peared among them every person
should be scrupulously careful in his
living and clothing as means of pro-
lection. Let them be moderate and
careful in diet, avoid all depressing in
Huences, over-fatigue, chills, violent
alterations of temperature, impure
water, unripe fruit, the use of aperient
medicines, unless professionally Or
dered, especially all those medicines of
saline nature. Good ventilation, per-
feet drainage, prevention of over
crowding-all those things should be
secured in every town and village in
the country.-N. T. Observer.

A DloNIfiEo JUDGE.

He Can't Take Lawyers Jokes. and Proves
Himself tery Disagfeeable.
Two Dakota lawyers recently had
some trouble with a new judge and
were discussing the subject. Said
one:
''You got thirty days or one hum
dred dollars, did you?"
"Yes.'
''Pay the fne?"
''No, couldn't. Thought thirty days
in Jail wa. good enough for me.
What'd he fine you?''
Fifty dollars"
''Pay it?''
''Yes; that is. my wife's father did,"
'Of course-I didn't suppose you
raised it yourself. What was it you
called the old judicial snoozer?''
Il was telling him that his counte-
nance reminded me of freight-car
which had been to q smash-up, and
that in his various rulings he leaped
about from wrong ideas to untenable
premises like an insane jack-rabbit-
when he socked it onto me-
''1es. Now that's the usual talk
and the old Judge never objected. l
put it little stronger and told him
that l could only explain the unheard-
of rulings of the court by the SUPPOSE
ton that they came from man with a
spawned intellect, and then threw my
coat and hat and yelled: Come down,
you ancient antiquity, and I'll whale
enough sense into your shattered mind
so that You can hold position at
pounding sand with ball club! Lem
my get at you and disigure the fair
face of nature by scattering your
worthless remains around this judicial
district He said it would be one
hundred dollars or thirty days, and
then went on and decided the case
against me-"
Eyes, that's the way it goes-it
seems he can't take joke. 1t strikes
me that if the Government is going to
send many more of these kind of
judges out here that the entire Terri
torial bar will be in Jail. If this is
the way they are going to work it there
don't appear to be much encourage
ment for a lawyer to take right hold of
a case in earnest and make Rome open
her mouth>clear back to her ears and
howl. '-Estelline 60. ~ Bell.

THE MAXWELL TRIAL.
The Defendant Somewhat Wcalxens Under
the States Rigid Cross Examinations.

The Defendant Somewhat WcakenS Under
the States Rigid Characterization.
ST. LOUIS, May 2S.-Only 4 small Dor
ton of the crowd who deSireditO hear The
proceedings in tie Maxwell case were al
lowed to enter the criminal court room yes
terday morning, and large number Of
those who did gain admittance were ordered
to leave by the judge, who feared the floor
would fall under such heavy weight.
Mr.. Faunteroy of tic defense continued
the direct examination of the prisoner. He
asked the defendant why his parents had
not come to him when he stood charged
with such heinOus crime. The prosecu-
ton objected and were sustained.
The defendant in continuation of his
story gave an account of his return from
Auckland in charge of officers; he ac-
knowledged meeting the detective McCul-
Tough, WHO testified against him, but said
the detectives "whOle statement was an in
famous lie from beginning 10 end"
At the close of the direct examination
the prosecution subjected the defendant to
a severe cross examination, in which he con-
tradcted himself in several points. One
was as to when he wrote certain marginal
notes i'm medical book. Some things he
could not remember: other faulty memory
he attributed to the liquor he had taken.
When asked if he purchased the
champagne drank while on the way
to California will! Preller's money, the
reply was. II don't know" When shown
a forged diploma and asked where he got it,
he replied he wrote it, and when asked why,
replied: 'Simp'y as an exercise of penman-
ship to keep myself in practice" Many
other questions were evaded or answered in
an unsatisfactory manner.
The further promised sensation in the
Maxwell trial has been uncovered and con-
sistS i'm the fact that after it was definitely
learned that he would acknowledge the
killing claiming it to be the result of an
accident, in treating l'reIler for structure,
the prosecution had the remains exhumed
and examined, and, it is said, found posi-
lively that PrelIer was not suffering from
the disease, for which Maxwell said he was
treating him.
