and vanished from sight round tho cha pei on
the way to his own cell Then shc entered
the waiting room, where she found tho civil
official who had at first accostcd her
From hi:n she asccrtained tho proper Office
at which the inquiry she wanted answered
should be made; and upon applying there
learnt that No. 1,0S0, supposing he continued
to conduct himself as he had hitherto done,
that is, earning the maximum of eight good
marks day, would obtain his ticket-of-leave
in about six months time.
"Thcn what becomes Of HIM" she asked
'Do you just put him outside the gate, and
tell him TO DO OFT
Tho officer smiled. "Oh dear, no He is

Certainly. If you are n relation or friend,
and willing to LOOK after him, and wrote to
the governor to that effect, no doubt you
would hear from him."
"Thank you" said Mrs. Miller. Then she
gathered up her black skirts and left the
prison. She found her cab and was driven
back to the railway station. 1t was some
time before the train left for Weymouth; SO
she climbed to the top Of tho Chesil Beach
and sat down gazing out over the sea. Her
lips moved, although the rest OF her body
was motionlcss. She was praying, and the
petition she offered up was that Heaven in its
mercy would remove from earth n certain
convict before the day came upon which he
would be entitled to demand his freedom. \
curious prayer for religious woman to
make, but after all not stranger than the
prayers offered up by antagonistic armies.
The train started at last and took her to
Weymouth. Here she obtained refresnment,
of which, indeed, she stood much in need.
Somehow she made n mistake in the time,
and missed the afternoon train. The conse
quenco was that it was past eleven o'clock
when she rang the bell of that mcthodically-
conducted establishment, lakewood House.
And the rule of Lakewood House was that
no servant should on any pretcnce be out Of
doors after half-past nine; or, unless the pres
ence of company demanded it, out of bed
after half past ten.
Her masters were in waiting, and at once
took her to task. She explained that she bad
missed the train.
'W hat train y asked Horace

"But Miss Clauson told us you were gone

Horace felt nettled at the idea Of any ono
who he'd even n vicarious authority from
himself making a mistake SO he said, with
some aspcrity, This must not occur again,
Mrs. Miller
And added Herbert, "tho next time you
want holiday kindly mention the fact to us
as well US to Miss Clauson. We have a rule

Mrs. Miller curtsied and left the room.

Ir'ehu Tor many months, so upon his return

TO see her. Size must rive her naric.
81 wrote it down, then waited patiently.
Dy ana By there was measured tramp of
many heavy feet, and she knew TO convicts
weHo returning to dinner. Aftcr tho tramp
had died away a wardcr made his appearance
AMI told her TO follow Lin.
1t was but step He opened door in the
rear of the waiting room, and Mrs Miller
found herself i'll place which could suggest
nothing else than den at geological gar
den one siIo Of the room being formed of
iron bars about six inches apart, and oppo-
site was similar den with its front turned
toward, it md entered by another door, and
between the two was n space, a narrow den,
entered By another door and containing q
stool
Presently the door of the middle den opened
and a warder entered and seated himself upon
the stool; thon tho furthest door opened, and
one Of the blue-habted convicts walked up
to the bars and gave his visitor nod of care
less recognition.
As a rule, when female friend is per
mitted to see a convict there is weeping and
wailing. Hands are stretched out through
the bars across the open space, and if the
two persons are of ordinary stature, finger
tips may just meet. This is better than
nothing Time was when no open space
divided the friends; they could kiss and al
most embrace through one set of bars. But
it was found that the visitors kiss often
transferred half-sovereign from her mouth
to the convict's A kindly action no doubt,
but one which when discovered led the man
into trouble, knocked off good-conduct marks,
and heightened his time of imprisonment.
So now there is n space of something like five
feet between the visitor and the visited.
With these two there was no weeping, nc
stretching out of hands. In fact, as Mrs.
Miller looked at the Gagged creature in front
of her an expression very nearly akin to
hatred settled on her strongly-marked fea-
lures. Yet, in spite of his close-clipped
crown, shaven cheeks and ugly attire the
convict was by no means Unlocking. His fea-
lures were straight, and might even have
been called refined. He was above the mid
die height, broad shouldered and healthy
looking. His teeth were good, and his hands,
although rough and hardened with toll, were
not the hands of one who has labored from
his childhood. His eyes had cruel, crafty
look in them; but this look might have been
acquired since his incarceration. Indeed,
Mrs. Miller had noticed the same expression
in the eyes of every convict whom she had
met on the road to the prison.
Mrs. Miller looked through her bars at the
convict the convict looked through his bars

pectantly on the Pacific Mail wharf
The tug proceeded to the steamer
where she staid about half an hour,
when she started back, and going direct
to the Old Custom House wharf, where
the officers expected there would be no
crowd, but before the tug had got along
side the wharf, there was crowd Of
several hundred persons there before
her AS she came alongside the wharf it
was seen that two of the stretchers con-
tanned corpses, and the other two living
men. The two corpses were Immediately
put onto c. E. Williams wagon and taken
to the undertaker's rooms on Fort street.
The two wounded men were taken to
the Queens Hospital, where they receiv-
ed medical attendance.
Mr.. Irwin when seen last evening
said "The only thing know about
the accident is that one of the boiler
f1ues burst and killed two men and
wounded two others" The names Of
the unfortunate men could not be learn
ed from any source.
Since the above was written it has
been learned that one of the wounded
men taken to Hospital had died.
People who were watching the
steamer at the time of the accident
say that suddenly large column Of
smoke and steam burst from the door
ways leading to the boiler and fire
room, completely hiding the steamer
from view No person was allowed
on board the vessel while she lay at
anchor, excepting those who had i'm
mediate business aboard
One gentleman who came ashore
from the vessel commended the con-
duct of Chief Engineer Wilson, who
was standing on deck talking to some
of the passengers when the accident
happened. On seeing the smoke and
steam, the passengers became almost
panic stricken, when Mr.. Wilson said /;
"Do not get frightened we are only
getting up more steam" The passen-
gers Immediately became quieted at
these reassuring words, and were then
told that pipe had burst and would
be repaired in short time. MIR. Will
son is highly commended for his cool
ness at the time, which undoubtedly
stopped panic among the passengers.
The Mariposa was detained until
ten minutes past twelve o'clock last
night, repairing the broken hue, when

her voyage across the ocean.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
Two Men Killed and Two Severely
Wounded.

Shortly after the steamship Mariposa
had left her wharf at ten o'clock yes
terday morning, the report spread
throughout town that she was on fire,
outside the harbor. AT eleven o'clock
the wharves were crowded with anxious
and excited people, who watched the
steamer with interest, seeing no smoke
and no flames. The tug Eleu had gone
out to the steamer, which had anchored
off the harbor, and on returning, the
report soon spread through the crowd
that boiler hue had broken, killed
two of the firemen and wounded several
others, Those who knew anything
about the accident were very reticent
about saying anything. The excite
ment grew almost TO fever heat when
the tug stared out again, going to the
City of Picking, with Minister of Interior
Gulick and the Japanese consul, large
crowds jumping aboard of her expect
ing she was going to the Mariposa
again. The officers had hard time to
drive and keep the crowd off the tug
The tug made several trips to the Pc
king, not stopping at the Mariposa.
Rumors of every kind were being
spread throughout the afternoon, some
to the effect that one of the boilers had
burst and killed several firemen, and
all such rumors too numerous to men
ton.
AT about halfpast five o'clock four
stretchers were put aboard the Eleu, and
with Minister Gulick, DIR. Webb, Mr..
W. G. Irwin and others started for the
Mariposa, The crowd still waited ex-

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELEcTRICITY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, ali efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, IN
stead OF first laying down the principle that
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator OF Elec-
tricty in ITSELF i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal Of Electric Lighting and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas y cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the inn
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains al the same
| degree OF temperature. IL Is lultuSl dpao'
lutely inodorous, and does not need To be
kindled by match OF otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
OF fire, explosion or sufiocation, as in the cast
of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu'
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons;
~ Its manipulation is SO simple that any
| child car keen II in order
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another
(3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning OF the
cylinder, as in the case Of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is soft and
most steady one that it never llickers, anc
the flame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de
gree.
(s.) That every danger Of fire is absoutel,
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, il by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should he broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for illuminations, lighting of gardens
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present il
three different sizes;
