The men entered the room and
fought desperately for ten minutes.
The door was then broken In by
friends who heard the noise OF the
duellists. Shortridge was found
lying on the floor cut and slashed
IN a terrible manner; he could not
speak and died in a few minutes.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
BY V. STUART MOsBY.


1t was after the din of the battle
Had ceased in the silence and gloom,
When hushed was the musketry's rattle
And quiet the cannon's deep boom
The smoke Of the conflict had lifted,
And drlfted away from the sun,
While the soft crimson light, slowly fad
ing from sight,
Flashed back from each motionless gun
The tremendous notes Of bugle
Rang out on the clear autumn air,
And the echoes caught back from the
mountains
Faint whispers like breathing OF prayer;
The arrows Of sunlight that slaDted
Through the trees that touched a brow
white as now,
On the bloody sod lying mid the dead an0
dying,
And II flushed IN the last parting glow.
The dark, crimson tide slowly ebbing,
Stained red the light jacket Of gray
But another in blue sadly knelt by his
side,
And watched the life passing away.
Said the solder in gray "Ive brother
Joe Tuner he lives mp in Maine;
Give him these, and say my last message
Was forgiveness. Here low moan OF
pain
Checked his voice, then; You'll do me
this favor.
For you shot me, and his whispers
sank low.
Said the soldier in blue Brother Char
ley,
There's no need in your bother-Im
joe"

THE TWO APPRENTICES.

Two boys were IN a carpenter
shop. One determined to make
himself a thorough workmen, the
other didn't care. One read and
studied, and got books that would
help him to understand the prlncl'
ples Of his trade. He spent his
evenings at home, reading. The
other liked fun best. He went
of with other boys to have fun.
"Come," he often said to his
shopmate, "leave your books; go
with us. What is the use OF all
this readingi'
"If | waste the golden moments
| shall lose what I can never make
up," was the reply.
While the two boys we're still ap-
prentices an offer of two thousand
dollars appeared in the newspapers
for the best plan for a State house.
to be built in the United States
The studious boy saw the advertise
ment, and determined to try for IT,
| After a careful study he drew the
plans, and sent them to the COM
mittee. 1 suppose he did not
really expect to win prize; but
there is nothing like trying.
1t was not long before a COM
mittee of gentlemen arrived at the
carpenter shop and asked II an
architect by the name of-mentlon'
ing the boys name-hved there
"No,' said the carpenter "nc
architect; l have an apprentice oS
that name
"Let us see him." said the com
mittee.
The young man was called, anu
sure enough, his plan had be en ac
cepted, and the two thousand dol
lars were his.
The committee then said he mus
put up the building {; and the EN-
ployer was so proud of his su ccesI
that he willingly gave him his time
anu let him 60.

WHTTECHAPEL's HORRORS.
ARREST OF A MAN WHO is THOUGHT
TO KNOW THE MURDERER.

TO KNOW THE MURDERER.
The hopes of the police catching
the Whitechapel murderer, which
had almost entirely died out, says
London correspondent of the
W ashington Post, we're raised to
the acme OF buoyancy today in
consequence OF the testimony at
the Kelly inquest of George Hutch.
inson, a groom, who had known
the victim for some years, and who
saw her with male companion
shortly after two O'Clock on the
morning of the murder.
Hntcblns on testified that he saw
a well dressed man with a Jewish
cast of cOuntenance accOst the
woman on the street, at the hour
mentioned, on Friday morning, and
the circumstance of his (Hutchin-
son's) acquaintance with her in.
duced him to follow the pair as
they walked together. He looked
straight into the mans face as he
turned to accompany the woman,
and foIlowed them to Miller Court
out of mere curiosity.
He had no thou ght OF the previ-
ous murders, and certainly no
suspicion that the man contem.
plated violence, since his con-
spicuous manifestation of affection
for his companion as they walked
along formed a large part of the in
centiye to keep them in sight.
AFTER the couple entered the
house, Hutchinson heard sounds OF
merriment IN the girls room, and
remained at the entrance to the
court for fully three-quarters OF an
hour. About 3 o'clock the sounds
ceased and he walked into the
court, but finding that the light in
the room had been ex tipguished he
went home. During the hour oc
cupied in standing at the entrance
to or promenadlng the court he dlC
not see a policeman.
There is every reason to believe
HutchinsOn's statement and th'
police place great reliance upon hi
description of the man, believing
that it will enable them to run hin
down.
The witness who testified yester
day to having seen the woman en-
ter the house with a man with
blotched face was evidently mis-
taken as to the night, as the de
scription of her companion is totall'
unlike that of Hutchinson in ever,
particular. The bulk Of the eyl
dence taken as to the time OF th
murder is that II occurred betweel
$40 and 4 o'clock.
1t transplred to-day that in ad
dition to the facial multilatlon o
the murdered woman, the utern
we're wholly and skillfully remove'
; asd laid in a corner of the bed.
The police are confident tha
they are on the track of the mul
derer. Two of the witnesses hay
described the appearance of th
man seen going into the house wit
the Kelly woman shortly before th
killing, the descriptions being a
most identical.
