Frank thrust bank book in the
old mans hand. Mr. Duke opened it
and looked up in astonishment.
Nassau bank! a hundred and eigh-
ty odd thousand! Why, where did
you get it?''

81 beg your pardon, Mr. Duke, but
| used my own money. never was
in the street before, and I shan't
go again."
And then he told the story of his
venture, and the great stroke of the
great operator.
"But how did you know? Did he
take you in?"
mo. but"-he was going to say
.:Milly took him in,' but he didn't.
He merely added, 81 had hint from
Milly"
Duke whlstled and then he laughed.
Gentle reader, sir or madam, do MT
interrupt me by asserting that Milly's
trick was bad and the whole set were
plunderers. I am telling story, not
discussing q question of morals.
"You'll keep your promise? inquired
Moore, anxiously.
"My daughter shall never marry a
manager of a soap works."
"But you said" exclaimed the
couple.
"Of course, I said, and say now, you
are discharged as manager"
Frank countenance fell and Milly
looked reproach.
81 can't get along very we'll without
you, and Til compromise" said Duke,
with a twinkle in his eye. Philip has
one-fourth interest in the concern.
"Ill let you have another fourth the
day you settle a hundred thousand on
Milly. She shan't marry a mere man
ager; but l have no objection to a
partner in the firm as son-in law"

A Neero,s work with n Razor.

PTrTsBURG, May 16.-On Saturday night number of men leaving the Cliff mines on the Mt. Ayr railroad gathered at the house of Abram Schaeffer to spend the evening. Shortly after midnight Frederick Haneraf got into fight with negro named Butler. Haneraf threw Butler, when the latter drew a knife. The onlookers then tried to stop the fight. Butler freed himself and started for the door, slashing right and left at everyone that came in his. way. He succeeded in es- caping After Butler had disappeared it was found that Haneraff had a cut across the hip eleven inches long from which he cannot recover. Joseph Yates had two hor rible gashes in the abdomen from which the entrails protruded. His recovery is said to be impossible. Robert Yates was stabbed twice in the hip. Samuel Amdel was cut severely in the face and neck and William Scott received an ugly gash in the back. None of the latter's wounds are serious. But Ter is still at large.

conv,.,,x nssh for Liberty.

SALEM, Mass, May 16.-Considerable ex- citement was caused on Washington street be- tween 12 and o'clock yesterday noon by the sudden dash of man wearing handcufs up the crowded thoroughfare from the Eastern depot, with an elderly officer in hot pursuit
 The officer was outrun, and although two CT three policemen endeavored to join in the pursuit the runaway eluded them and his trail was lost on the northern side of the oity. John, better known as "Jack' Rice, of Salem, an old offender, who had been serving a years Imprisonment at Ipswich, was brought to Salem by the chief of police of Ipswich on the inward eastern train, due at half past twelve. It was the intention to place Rice in Salem jail to await tLe opening of the Superior court on Monday, when he was to plead to an indictment found against him for an attempt to break jail at Ipswich.
 On reaching Salem the Ipswich officer. in getting out of the car, stopped to look at some prisoners in the waiting room, when Rice seized the opportunity offered him and was flying up the street before the aston ished officer could recover from bis surprise.

BtllNye on Jeff Davis.

From a Letter to the Indianapolis Journall
 see that MT Jefferson Davis, who has re- gently entered the lecture field, says that there could have been no nobler cause for which to die, no opportunity more glorious for proud and honorable death, than that afforded the Confederate soldier who espoused the cause of the South twenty years ago. Looking at it in that way, I ask, in all can dor, why did not MT. Davis improve that glorious opportunitys Feeling that way about it, why did he not remove his polonaise and die like mana Why did he let such chance go by, in order that he might enter the lecture field and crowd ont better men, and then die of old age, when he could have hung up his hoopskirt on tree and died in way that would have endeared him to every southern heart?
 I agree with the lamented A. Ward that ssit would have been ss25 in MT. Davls's pock- ct if he had never been born," but after he was born and it was too late to consider his rash act, he should have died as young as possible. With character istic tardiness, however, he allowed himself to grow up, and then with the full knowl- edge, as he uow admits, that the war of the Rebellion afforded 6 beautiful opportunity for 6 man who yearn ed to die in neat and attractive way. be fritted away that golden moment and continued to destroy the high priced groceries of the Respondent South.
 There is certainly "a tide in ths affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune" and MT. Davis surely missed it when he neglected to make funeral tableau of himself

A soKcoTEEO FIRu RURNED OUT.
Fire Lays a Great DistIliery in Ruins
 At Pekfn.

At Pekfn.
 PEORIA, H., May 16-The Enterprise dis tillery at Pekin, owned by Spellnan & De- henny, was destroyed by fire at early hour this morning. The fire originated in the leach room and was undoubtedly incendiary. Spellman is the man who was recently out lawed by the whiskey pool and attempts have been made to boycott him. Notwith- standing that he has been running his distil- lery at half product and making eighty bar rels daily. Spellman has been absent at St. Paul and only arrived here this morning to see the ruins of his distillery. The watch man in the distillery was the first to see the blaze, which bore the appearance of small light almost instantly followed by an explo- sion and a fierce and raging fire as fifty thou sand gallons of alcohol were ignited. The fire was so fierce that nothing was saved. In addition to the alcohol mentioned there were twenty thousand bushels of grain in the building and four carloads of corn standing near the track were also consumed. All the government books in connection with the distllery were consumed. It is diff fcult to ascertain much about the insurance. The proprietors of the d1stlllery do not know where they stand on this. It seems the boycott against the distillery has been strong enough to in duce insurance companies belonging to the board of underwriters to withdraw their policies, and transfer into non-board companies has been made as fast as possi- ble. It will not, however, come anywhere near covering the loss, which is placed at $200, ,000. On the alcohol there is an ins ur- ance of about $4 ,000. The company wi Il in the morning offer reward of $5, 900 for the discovery of the incendiary. It is also considered probable that the Mayor of Pekin will be instructed by the council to offer 8 reward. The work of rebuilding the distil- lery will be begun as soon as the ruins be- come cool enough to be removed

 ton.
 NEWPORT, May Ex-Governor Wetmors's proclamation announcing the vote on the constitutional amendments and officially de- claring them parts of the constitution was issued yesterday. The prohibitory amend ment is therefore from this date feature of the fundamental law of Rhode Island as de- sired by majority of some seven thousand of it's legal voters. The case taken to the courts by the representatives of the Liquor Dealers association is yet to come up for consideration by the Supreme court.
 Under the amended constitution no town can issue licenses for the sale of spirituous drinks, though the law on the statute book remains otherwise precisely as before. With the license clause imperative, the State has the old law with it's penalties against unl- censed liquor selling in full operation. As that law prohibits unlicensed sales, the legal prohibition is already complete, and will re- main in force without further legislation on the part Of the General Assembly. The leg islature, however, will endeavor to pass law to enforce the prohibitory law at the May session.

When Will Congress Adiourna

WASHINGTON, D. O., May 16.-Speaker Carlisle is quoted as saying that it is ''possi- ble" for Congress to adjourn by the 25th of June. That is in less than six weeks. The prevailing opinion, however, is that Congress will not get away before August. The House is behind in it's business and independent of the grave differences of opinion between it and the Senate there are several questions of importance yet to be considered. Besides there is an evident desire on the part of the Senate not to hurry business, and both par ties want time to make records for the ap- preaching Congressional campaign.
