Colonel Monk, or rather Congress-

The National House Of Representatives,
was a politician from the top OF his
polished head 10 the soles Of his ample
gaiters. He was a Democrat Of the
courtly Jeffersonian school, and
wealthy. The one object, outside Of
the political arena upon which his care
ana attention was lavished, was his
motherless daughter Adele. He had
watched her childhood with care and
devotion and was now as proud OF her,

WHITE PLAINS, n. ", July l6.-Firo
broke out in the old Ben Holiday stone
mansion, on the Ophyr farm, about three
miles from this place, now owned by
Whitelaw Reid, of the Tribune. The build
ing was one OF the famous landmarks in
Westchester County, having been stand
ing for over 200 years. Last year Mr..
Reid purchased the place from the
estate Of John Roche, and commenced
the rettting Of the interior upon
magnificent scale. The dining room, 5Ox23
feet, was finished in hard wood with heavy
carving over the doors Of clusters Of fruits
and various kinds Of game. The frescoing
Of the fourteen rooms ON the first floor
were me gnifcent. There were In an fifty
four large rooms in the castle, which were
all finished. The origin Of the fire Is not
definitely known, hut IL is a defective hue
or the presence Of the electric light wires.
The loss on the building will reach nearly
SOO,OOJ. Insured for about twO-thirds Of
that amount. The question Of rebuilding
the castle will be determined In the future,
after the condition of the walls, which are
stiil standing, have been examined.

yardmaster Of the Bee Line, made call.
Tho delegation numbered nearly 900. They
were headed by n band Of nusic, and
feature of the procession was 4 wagon
profusely decorated and bearing several
locomotive headlights. Mr.. Shaw ad-
dressed General Harrison in brief speech,
and In response the latter said
Gentlemen; Your visit Is very crafty

say TO the panic-stricken who gathered
Eround him, "Put out the red light for the

HEAVY BANK ROBBERY.

A Cowboys Daring Raid Upon a Colorado
Bank.
LA JUNTA, Col, idly ia.=saturday af-
ternoon a man dressed in Ordinary ebws
boy attire entered the bank of La June
ia, covered the cashier, Rufus Phillips,
with his six shooter and ordered him 20
put the banks money into n bag which he
had brought in for that purpose. With
death staring him in the fdce the cashier
obeyed orders without a murmur. Nheii
all the cash had been turned over the rob-
Der ordered the cashier 10 open the back
door end go out in the rear of the building.
The robber had his horse tied conveniently
and mounted and rode of, keeping the
cashier covered with his gun all the time.
A number Of parties saw the robber while
he was mounting his horse but so quick
WAS he in doing the job that no one
realized the situation Until he had gone.
He rode a very feet horse and was clear
out Of sight before anybody thought Of
giving pursuit. A posse Of citizens, headed
by Deputy Sheriff Polk, are after the thief
and they will not come back until they get
him. No one knows the exdct amount the
robber secured but il is yariously estimated
at from $4,000 TO S2s,OOO.

are afraid. BIS admirers have taken
the horses from his carriage and are
dragging him about the grounds"
Perhaps at that instant vision OF a
tear-stained little face that bid hin
goodbye that morning rose before the
Colonel. because he dashed his hand
across his face as he muttered: Curse
your ingenuity. yes; I'll consent; there s
my hand upon it," He walked rapidly
over TO the clerk Of the court, handed
him fifty dollars and apclogized to
the judge for his display OF
temper. At the same instant, Mr..
Blake informed the court OF n sudden
discovery on his part that the Colonel's
testimony would not be needed, Where.
upon the judge m9gnanimously forgave
Colonel Monk, RENTED his fine and
permitted him 10 depart, which he did
with a rapidity that took the bailiffs
breath away. No one seemed bit
surprised when Mr.. Black suddenly
concluded 20 switch about and plead
guilty, submitting with great grace TO
sentence OF six months imprison-
ment; which. in view Of the heinous-
ness OF his ofense, was exec eJingly
moderate.
Colonel Monk was elected the follow
ing day by l,463 majority. Adele and
Albert were sitting side by side on a
sofa in the library as he came in from
the balcony, where he had just been ad-
dressing a few thousand triumphant
Democratic voters. It is to be feared
the Colonel had for this once departed
somewhat from his wonted abstemeous-
ness, because he swayed almost imper-
ceptibly from side 10 side Us he regard

FATALLY wounded.

lNDIANAPoIIs, Ind, July lG.--A serious
shooting ARRAY occurred here last night,
In which William Dunn, a married man
employed at Kingan's pork house, was
probably fatally wounded. Four men
were engaged Ia conversation, when Dunn
approached the group and made a remark
about General Harrison. One OF the
men, Frank Ernshaw, remarked that
Sunday was no time TO talk politics,
whereupon Dunn responded that he could
whip Ernshaw or any man in the crowd.
Robert Hardpense took exception 10 this
remark, when Dunn struck at him, hut
missed, and upon a second attempt Hard
pense drew a revolver aud fired, the ball
entering just above Dunn's right eye.
