Having sent you several invita-

believing you to be a wise and just
man, and having found out that you
were neither, all the invitations are

The President was overwhelmed.
He looked forward to the thigh old

The first speaker ran so fast md head

the inscnsible figure.
"Why. It's woman" he exclaimed;
"a girl should say, she is so slight and

"Of course knew it was a woman's

me help YOU. Bring her to our house.
Mother is the most kind and thoughtful

he added, lending his assistance.

Lesson. -...-.......-

And he left the room as he spoke, while

gave his attention towards the still in

IN SILENT DREAD.

A soft, clear summer night, fragrant
with the odors of honeysuckler roses,
heliotrope; and silent, save Tor the sing
ing OF locusts in the grass.
Suddenly the midnight silence was
broken by the footsteps of flying figure;
closely pursued by another figure, and
from out the darkness came terrified
and piercing cry:
"Help-murds Ter! Oh, help-help! Muir

A few seconds Of breathless silence,
and then the stiffness was broken again
by the sound Of hurrying footsteps. grow
ing fainter and fainter in the distance,
willie several persons who had been
reused by the cry for help hastily drew
on clothing and shoes, and rushed toward
the spot whence the cries had proceeded.
1t was one o'clock in the morning, and
naturally the inhabitants OF the street
we're all in bed, and most Of them asleep.
OF those who had been awakened, many
stopped after the first alarmed rush into
the street, questioning each other and
waiting for some repetition OF the cries !;

and q mother were thoroughly reused,
and for Williams sake she determined to
penetrate the mystery.
But this was far more difficult matter
than she had anticipated, and had not
circumstances favored her, there Is little
reason to suppose that she would have
overcome Gertrudes obdurate silence.
Gertrude was able on the next day to
leave her room.
Mrs Forney, therefore, felt herself Jus
titled in sending for her mother, who
came as rapidly as the train could bring
her. An evil fate had overtaken her
household, for her husbands son, young
Rhinder, had been drowned the night be-
fore, and his dead body had just been
brought home a few minutes before she
received the telegram from the Forneys.
"Albrecht dead ~ exclaimed Gertrude.
"Then l am released. My oath binds me

loved me. and strove to marry me. and

THE MAIN QUESTION.

The chief question that ought to be
asked of those who seek to represent
their several towns in the next general
assembly is, whether they propose hear
tily to work for the reelection of Hon.
George F. Edmunds to the United States
the coming session. ...
We have not considered it needful dur
ing the past few months to take up and
refute every one of the numerous charges
brought against the Senator by the or
gans working against him. He has been
so long and so prominently before the
people of the State and nation that they
know and appreciate him, and will be
slow to believe him unworthy their con-
tinued support. The people of this coun-
ty and State are too sensible to take stock
in charges brought purely from personal
motives. Two years ago the majority of
the voters of the county had faith enough
in Senator Edmunds' integrity to be-
lieve that the course he took was the on
ly one he could honestly adopt. The
few who were disgruntled then have been
disgusted with the bitter warfare waged
by the opposition through the summer,
and now it is hard to find hereabouts an
out-and-out anti-Edmunds man. Hence
we do not think Addison county will send
a single anti-Edmunds representative to
Montpelier this fall. His friends greatly
out-number his enemies, and if the former
will exercise ordinary caution the out
come will be right But they should not
forget that agents of the opposition are
working, and act accordingly.

member of that committee is not made
public, for the reason that Gov. Curtin,
for purposes of his own, did not permit
the committee to make report. and has
secured leave for it to sit during the re-
cess and to enter upon a rowing investiga-
ton. 1t is generally understood that Mr..
Curtin's purpose in this was to keep the
subject an open one. in order that the
Democrats might secure any possible
political capital that might be derived
from it during the campaign, and that
Mr.. Curtin might himself incidentally
promote his own chances as candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania. 1t is hint
ed that, at the proper time, this commit
tee will be convened to meet at suitable
places for this purpose in Pennsylvania.
The ostensible reason of Gov. Curtin for
the failure to make this report was the
committees inability to examine Vice
President IIoXie of the Missouri Pacific
railroad. who, on account of severe i'll
ness, was not able to answer a subpoena.
All the evidence as to the railroads ad-
ministration. however, was fully disclOs-
ed upon examination of the division
superintendents and the fact was estab-
lished on evidence that the strike was
wholly without excuse or justification.
No report was possible which did not
reflect severely upon the Knights of La
Dor. whose leaders themselves, upon the
stand, subsequently admitted that the
strike was undertaken without just cause.
If Mr.. Stewart had made a report he uu-
doubtedly would have stated that
the strike was without excuse, and
that the subsequent action of the
strikers was II continued series of out
RACES upon the rights of persons and
property, and greatly to the detriment of
the interests of the people of half dozen
States. 1t is not improbable that, in
view of these circumstances, the fear of
giving offence to an organization which
has become a large political factor in
many sections, where many of the com
mittee reside, was another reason why
the chairman and Democratic members
of the committee desire to prevent Il re-
port and to keep the investigation open.
Mr.. Stewart was member of the sub
committee. consisting besides himself of
GOV. Curtin and Mr. Burnes of Missouri,
which took some of the most important
testimony. 1t will he seen from pcruS-
al of this testimony that the examination
of witnesses by Mr.. Stewart was designed
to bring out the true history of the move
ment and that. in this effort, he was en-
tirely successful, as the leading newspa-
perS in the West admitted at the time.
Mr.. Stewart always voted on the right
side of public questions in the House,
and never wasted the public time by bum
combe speeches. or ncumbcred the Rec
ord with speeches printed upon leave,
at the expense of the public treasury.
Mr.. Stewart prepared speeches, which
there was no opportunity to deliver,upon
the Mormon question. the Interstate
commerce bill and the labor and Chinese
immigration bill.

Mr.. STEWARDS RECORD.

The Boston Journals Washington cor
respondent is engaged in writing up the
doings of New England congressman
during the session just closed. Here is
what is said of Hon. John W. Stewart s
york;
Mr.. Stewards work during the session
was chiefly confined to the judiciary
committee room, where, with Mr.. Tuck
er of Virginia as "A subcommittee, he
made careful and very exhaustive study
of the Mo. mon problem, the result of
which was embraced in the joint resolu-
ton reported from the committee, amen
datory of the constitution of the United
States, defining polygamy and prohibiting
it in the States and comforting power
upon Cong. ess and the United States
courts to enforce the prohibition. This
report contains an elaborate summary of
the legislation, history and literature of
the Mormon question. The result of the
work of the subcommittee is further
seen in bill which was reported, amen
datory of the Senate bill of which Mr..
Edmunds was the author. The House
bill is much more radical, and is probably
much more effective in its provisions than
any bill hitherto presented to Congress.
1t meets the hearty and unqualified APP
proval of every intelligent gentle In
Utah, and is believed by them, without
exception, so far as the committee was
advised, to be the best bill yet devised.
Mr.. Stewart was also member of the
Curtin committee on labor, which in
vestigated the great Southwestern rail
road strike. Mr.. Stewart's report as a

TERRIBLE EARTHQUAKES.

Charleston and Columbia, :. c.. and
savannah and Augusta, Ga, have been
visited by a great calamity this week in
the shape of an earthquake which began
Tuesday night and continued till WcdneS-
day, though the greatest shocks We're
those of Tuesday night. Dispatches say
that Charleston, :. c., is in ruins. The
damage will reach over SS,0O0,0O0, the
dead number over 40 persons, chiefly
colored, and the wounded many hundreds.
The city is a complete wreck. ST..
Michael's and st. Philips churches, two
of the historic churches in the city,
are in ruins. SO is IIbernian hall. The
police station and many other public
buildings and fully twO-thirds of the
residences in the city are uninhabitable
The streets are filled with masses of fall
en- bricks and timbers and choked with
PROSTATE telegraph and telephone wires.
Summerville, small city % miles
from Charleston, was nearly destroyed
Tuesday night. The business part of
reported as killed by the falling walls.
The first two shocks at Columbia, ).
c., were fearful. Buildings rose and
fell like boats on the waves of the ocean
and swayed to and fro People rushed
madly from their houses into the streets.
Some leaped from the windows and were
injured. Many of the most substantial
buildings were shaken to their founda-
tions, and the walls cracked and sprung.
All through the South from Virginia to
Mississippi the quakings of the earth
caused panies among the people and did
damage to buildings. The widest scenes
prevailed about the Richmond (Na.) pris-
on where the convicts in the general
fright We're let into the prison-yard.
Fears of an uprising among them fol
lowed and the military of the city were
summoned and 10000 excited people sur
rounded the walls. The shrieks of the
prisoners were heard for half mile. Two
of them managed to get outside, but were
fired at by the soldiers and caught.
Almost panic followed the first
shocks at Raleigh, n. C.. Several of the
larger buildings were considerably dam
aged by the rocking and the streets were
filled with excited people. Few people
in the town slept that night.
Three successive shocks violently rocked
Atlanta, Ga, throwing down chimneys
and SCATTERING windows. The electric
fire alarms were disturbed and all tie
engines in the city rushed through the
crowded streets in response to the calls.
The scene in the negro quarters was es-
pecially weird. The colored people fell
upon their knees and wept and pleaded
for mercy. The preachers vent among
them declaring that the day was at haud
when men must repent of their sins. In
several cases they organized 10, casts
and sang and danced, declaring ,laG thu,
were ready.
