THE CANDLES FLASHED.

-Icaught the idea in a moment and strained
my ears to listen for further demonstrations
from the attacking party. We could hear
them creeping here and there through the
bushes, scarcely making a noise, but easily
distinguished in the silence of the night
Nov, whispered Sam. take two in each
hand and I'll light them
'Suiting the action to the word he con-
trived to light them in rapid succession
Then We turned them into the bushes, and
heavens! what a sight was revealed as the
candles flashed About fifty villainous look
ing Savages and greasers were STOPPING and
creeping along toward us. At the first flash
they stopped as if spellbOund. We turned
them so the green and white balls would
strike them in their faces. The candles were
tremendous affairs, and eight or ten OF them
popping away, apparently Independent of
human aid, was enough to terrorize any one.
Our assailants wRveTed a moment then, and
with terrible yell, bounded away toward
high ground as if the devil himself was in
pursuit. We could hear them scramble up
the hillside, mount their horses ard gallo
away. Sam afterwsrd explained that he ha
brought the candles along as a side specula-
ton, and he also explained that he had al
ranged a system Of strings among the bushes.

without meeting the obstruction and alarm

AFTER A DAYS TRAMP.

AFTER long, hard days tramp, we en-
caInpcd for the night i'll one Of those small can
yons 80 prevalent in western Kansas. 1t was
an excellent place, too. Our backs were eff
fectualiy protected by a natural cave i'll the
side of the bank, the entrance TO which was
concealed by brush and tall grass Sam. the
boy of the party, WAS an unusually bright
young fellow and very familiar with the tao
tics of Indian warfare. Just before lying
down | noticed him untying a good sized
bundle of sticks resembling short broom
handles He placed them IN easy reach and
tumbled down to sleep / had also noticed
him fumbling around the bushes a short time
before but didn't pay much attention to his
actions The other fellow and myself con
cluded not To set guard, We were i'll such
ali excellent place. | don't know how long
we had slept when we were awakened by
Sam shaking us slightly and whispering:
Be quick now, the Indians are getting
ready to slip in on us
by this time We were both wide awake anG
ready with our rifles
Listen, whispered Sam; hear the dirty
amps slipping up. Put down the rifles I've
got something better
He handed each of us four of the sticks
mentioned, remarking:
"'ThemS Roman candles. I've got a pile
of whoppers along and think we can scare
these scamps clean out of their hides

BARRIERS Refuse to Shave Young
Man Who Sided with Capital.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-Wnen the big
strike began in the hog picking and ham
drying factories of Chicago, the sympa-
thies of Recorder Noble, of Weehawken,
were strongly enlisted on the side of the
capitalists, and he drummed up thirty
independently workmen from New York
t0 90 to Chicago. Most of them wore
collar button peddlers, and probably
mad never seen live hog. Re
corder Noble engaged John Tuohey
to recruit for him. He is an
energetic young man and went 10
work with will, and soon had 80 men
enrolled to help carry on the pork fac
tories. Recorder Noble gave Mr.. Tuohey
$25 for his services in ecruiting the 81
independent" workmen of Weehawken,
who were in favor OF long hours and low
wages, and told Toobey that he could lead
them to Chicago. Some people thought
that when be got to Chicago the capital
lists would hold meeting and make him
foreman of the largest pork mill in Chi
cage. When MIR. 1u0ney really did ar
rive In Porkville, he was offered q stua-
tlon to wheel liver and lights at 81 80
day. AS young man OF enterprise,
back to Mr.. Fowler, pork
packer at Weehawken, to send him
a ticket that ne nigh come home. When
he returned, the only sign OF welcome
that might be noticed was when several
men rushed to the station with bricks
when be got off the cars; but they did
not throw them. and Mr.. TIohey went to
his lodgings unmolested. When he went
out TO get shaved next day the BARRIERS ali
struck, and even the boss refused to shave
him. Ever since he has been unable to
get shaved, and will soon have beard as
long as Rip Van Wrinkles. No one will
lend him match. He 10 faded out Of the

The Insane E1-AIderman.

NV YORK, November 4.-The trial
OF ex-Alderman Francis MeCabe to as
certain the question Of his sanity was
begun this afternoon in the court Of
general session. McCabe is one Of the
doodle" aldermen charged with ac-
cepting a bride in connection with the
Broadway Railroad franchise His
counsel put in plea of insanity when
McCabe was arraigned for trial in the
court. To-day McCabe appeared 70 be
very much worried. He was accom-
panied by his wife. a little time was
occupied in obtaining a jury, and Nc
Cabe's counsel stated that his client
was suffering from paresis, the result of
an injury 10 the head some time ago.
Dr.. Hammond, an insanity expert.
testified that his examination of Nc
Cabe in Ludlow Street Jail on two occa-
sions, had resulted IN the discovery OF
several symptoms of insanity, usually
considered infallible; although hs
thought his malady was in the way of
dementia, and not liable TO make the
patient dangerous. Indeed. he would
soon become an imbecile, and he
thought he could be better cared for by
his family than in public institution.
A number Of other experts gave similar
testimony. The district attorney ex.
pressed himself as satisfied that the
prisoner was insane and the Jury
brought in q verdict to that effect. Nc
Cabe was then taken TO Ludlow Street
jail.
