The complete novel in Lippincott's
Magazine for November is called
"Creole and Puritan" and is by T.
c. De Leon, author of "Cross Pur-
poses," "The Rock or the Rye" etc
In this, his last romance, Mr.. De
Leon has surpassed himself, and has
painted a charming and graphic pic
ture of West Point life, upon both
it's practical and social side. The
characters of two young men, one an
impulsive Creole, the other a cool
headed New Englander, are brought
into fine contrast. These young
men, though rivals in love and for
class distinction, are sworn friends,
and the development of their char
acters under varying environments
forms most interesting study. The
war parts the friends, and at its
close they meet at New Orleans.
There is capital description of a
carnival, and also of an international
horse-race. Nothing in recent fic-
tion since the famous chariot race
in "Ben Hur" can compare with the
wonderfully realistic description of
the latter exciting event. The scene
of the story drifts to Egypt, and here
Mr.. De Leon shows himself as much
at home as at West Point or New
Orleans. The heroine of the ro-
nance is lovely character, but con-
trasted with her is willy, beautiful
woman, who manages to do much
mischief. The tale is brought to a
close in New York City. where many
tangled threads are unravelled, and
an unexpected though just denone'
msak takes place.

THE WHEELING BANK THIEF.
Jumps His Bond, Leaving His Father TO
Make II good.

In Part Two Of the Circuit Court,
Judge Campbell, yesterday morning,
the case of the State v. Harry i.
Seybold, indicted by the late grand
jury for embczzling $27, 500 from the
Bank Of Wheeling, was called, but
the defendant came not, and his bond
was declared forfeited, and an order
SO declaring, and directing its col
lection, was entered by direction OF
Judge Campbell The bond is for
the sum of $4,000, and the surety
upon it is Joseph Seybold, father Of
the defendant. The bond was the
one fixed by Justice Ankle, and was
deemed entirely satisfactory by ali
concerned, as the amount of money
taken from the bank by Seybold had
been fully made up.
The defendant is supposed to have
left the city last Friday afternoon,
but in what direction he went or
where he is at present are matters
unknown to the general public.
The forfeiture of the bail, and the
payment of the sum into court in no
way releases Seybold from future
prosecution, and he may be arrested
by the Sheriff at any time and com
mitted, for trial.

INNOCENCE SUFFERS.
Four Men Serve Five Years for the
Crime of Others.

ScoTrDALE, Pa, September 2S.-
Nearly five years ago, six men were
sentenced to the penitentiary for IL
years each, for robbing Adam Keck.
Their names were Abraham Coffman,
Jacob Weibel, Jacob Saylor, James
Dobson, Joseph Workman and Geo.
w. Coffman. 1t now appears, if the
confession of Abe Coffman is to be
believed that four of the men were
entirely innocent and have served
nearly five years Imprisonment for
the deed committed by others who
are still at liberty. In his confes-
sion, which is addressed to Governor
Beaver, Cofman says that Weibel,
Geo. Coffman, Workman and Dob
son had nothing to do with the rob-
berry. An effort is now being made
to have the four men pardoned, and
it is thought they will soon be re-
leased.

COSTLY NATURAL GAS.
An Interesting Interview With Prof.
1. c. White.

PITTsBURG, September 2S.-The
Times publishes the following this
morning: l. C. White Professor of
Geology in the University of West
Virginia, and an acknowledged ex-
pert on everything relating to the
supply of natural gas, is of the opin-
ion that the cost of gas as fuel in
Pittsburg will soon be greater than
coal, unless the cost of piping gas
from fields more distant than those
now tapped by Plttsburg companies
is reduced.
1T will only be year or two"
said Professor White, in conversation
with a representative of the Times,
until the natural gas fields from
which Pittsburg companies now draw
their supplies of the fuel are exhaus-
ted. The Bellevernon field upon
which everybody is now building up
hope, is shallow, and will not stand
the drain, even though it is now
as promising as any field yet discov
cred.
PLENTY OF GAS LEFT, But
Il do not mean to say" continued
the Professor, that with the ex-
haustion Of the Belleyernon field no
gas will he left. The exact location
of fields as rich as any yet opened
is known. The principal of these
begins between the Monongahela and
Cheat river districts at point abont

know it extends, at an average width
of four miles, to a point west of
Morgantown, West Virginia, and the
belt may run from there into Ohio
Enough gas will probably be found
in this territory to meet the demands
of Pittsburg and its surroundings
for years. But the gas companies
for two years past have been com
planning Of the greatly increased cost
of piping gas. If they are compell-
ed to lay iron mains 80 or 40 miles
further they will be compelled to adj
vance rates in proportion and gas
will cost consumers more than coal.

A Young Man of Push.

The longer we live the stronger
grows the conviction that, despite
the pooh poohers, there is great
deal in "the art of putting things"
l have just heard of an incident that
illustrates this significant truth in a
striking manner:
Twelve years ago a young man
went to New York in search of en-
ployment and fortune. He carried
his own trunk to lodging house,
because he could not afford the luxu-
ry of a hired carrier. His honest
face and frank speech won for him
his landlady's consent to week s
living on tick. So far good. Now
then for the bold plunge. He went
down to the offices of the Herald,
Times aud Tribune, and invested
his last shilling in an advertisement
in the following words:
Il want something to do, and
must have it within twenty four
hours. Address PUSH this Office
In little while he had received
about 300 answer to his unique de-
mand for employment. One bust
ness man wrote: "Call at 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning and / may give
you chance to show how vigorous
ly you can push !"
The tone of that reply pleased the
young adventurer, and at the appoint
ed hour he presented himself at the
writer's office. The result was a
trial engagement, which has continu-
ed until this time. Young "Push"
is now the confidential man of the
house. His salary is ample, and he
lives in handsome style in one of
the prettiest little homes in New
York. where pretty homes, in the
poetic sense of the word, are, as
we all know, lamentably scarce

tic, and his employer has had ten
thousand reasons to congratulate
himself on the impulse that led him
to reply to that little lad"

A MERRY, MERRY WAR.
The Contest for Patronage Between
Golf and Elkins.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The clash
ing between the Elkins and Golf fac
tions Of West Virginia Republicans
is positively confusing to a man who
endeavors to ascertain the facts as
to which of the rivals controls pa
tronage Gen. Golf and his friends
ridicule the pretensions of Elkins
and declare that he is mere cipher.
At the same time they assert that
General Golf has dictated every
federal appointment SO far made
from West Virginia. The Elkins
crowd ridicule COTS assertions and
say he has not been able to place a
man of his. Thus the fight goes on.
Meantime Elkins entertains the
President at his summer home and
overrides Republican Congressman
even in Maryland. On several oc-
casions McComas. Republican Con-
gresham from Western Maryland,
has essayed to dictate appointments
contrary to Elkins wishes, in his
{ McComas' own district. In every
case McComas has been beaten.
ELKINs GOT HIS PLUMs.
Now it is well known that the big
gest Federal appointments yet made
for West Virginia were not at the
instance of Gen. Golf, nor is it any
secret that more than one of the new
West Virginia appointees is not
friendly to Golf.
Gen. Golf claims that he, and he
alone, procured the appointment of
Scott as pardon clerk of the Depart
ment of Justice The Elkins crowd
say that Golf attempted to obtain one
of the several places for Scott and fail
ed signally; that Scott had to finally
appeal to Elkins and then he got the
place he now holds.
Well. let them fight it out.

postage ought greatly to be cheap
