discipline thus 70 leave the party Of which
he was in command when upon special
service, but no one seemed to have seriously
blamed him for this. Admiration for the
daring action and regret ior the loss Of 50
brave soldier, for none thought there was
the slightest chance of ever seeing him
again, overpowered all other feelings. Mr..
told him that one Of the theree
women was the daughter of the
wounded man he had brought in with
him, and that he had known her and her
father before, and 1t was generally agreed
that there must have been something
more than mere acquaintance in the case to
induce the Sergeant to undertake such q des-
perate enterprise. Great interest was there
fore excited when upon the return of Lieu
tenant Daniels party it became known that
he had fallen in with Sergeant Blunt and
young lady, and that the Sergeant was Sc
verely wounded. ALI sorts of questions were
asked the Lieutenant.

Two Prominent Citizens Arrested for I'm
proper Use of the Mails.
ST. PAUL, September 13.-The little town
of Kasson, Dodge county, was thrown into a
state of wild excitement yesterday over the
arrest of August T. Anderson and H. D.
Austin, two of its most prominent citizens.
The arrest was made by Deputy Marshal
Jack" Campbell, who brought the prison
ers to st. Paul. The charge against Messrs
Anderson and Austin is violation of the
postal laws by sending improper letters
through the mails.
For some time past number of highly
respected ladies and gentlemen in Kasson
have been receiving anonymous letters
through the mail. These letters attacked
the characters of the parties addressed. 1t
is said that Austin has admitted that he
wrote some of the letters, and strong evil
dence against Anderson has been brought
to light.

CONCESSIONS GRANTED.
New Schedule Was Given the Men on the
Citizens Traction Road.

new Scueuuie was UlVeu the Men on the
Citizens Traction Road.
The employees of the Citizens Traction
Company did not attain the object they re-
Gently agitated, viz: The payment of extra
money for extra trips. but they nevertheless
gained an important concession frem the
company.
Since the road was put in operation the
running schedule has been SO constructed
that many of the men were unable to get in
more than one or two trips per diem, the re-
sulting compensation being very small, as
matter of course. This matter was
the burden of the song they recently
sang, and the men held their
position against an uneven schedule with
great tenacity. At one time q strike was
threatened, but wiser heads among the
workmen represented that there are around
and about Pittsburg enough grlpmen to man
SIX cable lines. A great number Of changes
have taken effect within year or SO, and
the ex-gripmen would be only too happy to
find places created for them by strike; so
none took place.
The company, however, met the men half
way and obviated further trouble bv adopt
ing the same schedule as that used by the
Fifth Avenue Traction Company. The new
schedule has been in operation for several
days, and has given satisfaction all the way
around.

CHAPTER xIv.-RosAnD Is OFFERED


A COMMISSION.
As soon as Mary Armstrong reached the
hospital. the trooper who had accompanied
her took her to the surgeons quarters. The
officer, on hearing that lady wished to
speak to him, at once came out.
II am Mary Armstrong" the girl said as
she slipped down from the horse. ST think
my father is here, wounded. He came up
in the wagons the day before yesterday,

"Oh, yes, he is here, Miss Armstrong. ]
had him put in. one of the officers wards
that is otherwise empty at present"
"How is he, doctor?"
"Well, I am sorry to say that just at pres
ent he is very i'll. The wounds are not, I
hope, likely to prove fatal, though undoubt-
edly they are very serious; but he is in q
state of high fever-in fact, he is delirious,
principally, think, owing to his anxiety
about you, at least SO L gathered from the
officer who brought him in, for he was
already delirious when he arrived here"
'1 can 60 to him, hope?"
Certainly you can, Miss Armstrong.
Your presence is likely to soothe him. The
ward will be entirely at your disposal. I
congratulate you most heartily upon get
ting out of the hands of the Kaffirs. Mr..
Nolan told us of the gallant attempt which
sergeant of the Cape Mounted Rifles was
going to make to rescue you, but I don't
think that anyone thought he had the
shadow of a chance OF success"
"He succeeded, Doctor, as you see; but he
was wounded to-day just as we were in sight
of the town. They are bringing him here.
Will you kindly let me know when be
comes in and how he is?''
81 will let you know at once, Miss Arm
strong; and now will take you to your
father"
One of the hospital orderlies was standing
by the bedside of Mr.. Armstrong as his
daughter and the surgeon entered. The pa
tient was talking loudly.
"I tell you 1 will go. They have carried
off Mary. saw them do it and could not
help her, but will go now"

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH,l
READING, September 13.-Mrs. Frances
Dunsford, aged 80, wife OF George H. Duns-
ford, was carried out of the Academy Of
Music on Tuesday night in an unconscious
condition. She had been laughing inor-
dinately at the play of "The Old Home
stead" when suddenly she tainted and fell
back in her chair. The lady was removed
to her home in an unconscious condition.
1t was not known exactly what caused her
sffliction. Her false teeth were missing, and
it was apprehended that she might have
swallowed them. The doctors failed to To-
cate any obstruction, and the lady fingered
in agony until this morning, when she
died.
A post mortem this afternoon located the
missing teeth securely lodged in her wind
pipe. There were two teeth fastened to a
silver plate. Mr.. Dunstord until recently
lived at Franklin, near Newark, N. j., and
moved here to take the superintendent of
the Reading Paper Mill Company.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
HARRISBURG, September 13.-The Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of the Colored
State League met in this city to-day and
elected r. G. Still, of Philadelphia, Presi-
dent; Walter S. Brown, of Pittsburg, Treas
urer, and William Still, of Reading, Secre-
tary. The committee prepared an address
for the Consideration of thinking colored
men of Pennsylvania. The address sets
forth that the negroes have been faithful to
the Republican darty since they were given
the right of franchise, almost to a man,
and have never been accorded the recogni-
ton due them as faithful and loyal parti-
sans. They had been hoodwinked, and
cajoled, and filled with promises, and had
seen others reap the reward of their lsbors
when the campaign was over. A look into
Pennsylvania legislative halls would
never indicate that Pennsylvania contained
over 100000 negroes whose loyalty to the
party was undeniable. The address then
asserts that the intelli gence of the negroes
is beginning to assert itself, and that many
have renounced the Republican party,
which has quadrennially posed as the
negro's friend The complaint is made that
the doors OF workshops are owned and con-
trolled chiefly by Republicans have been
tightly barred against the colored people,
and throwp open to a class of foreigners
who don't become citizens.
The sixth plank of the Democratic plat
form, which holds the Republican party re-
sponsible Ior the failure to pass any law for
the relief of manual labor, is warmly in
dorsed. The position of the Democratic
party on the tariff question is also ap-
proved. "We are the consumers, hence pay
the tariff" SAYS the address, ''and vet are
debarred from the average field of labor, and
we consider it an insult to our citizenship
for any party to ask us to support measure
favorable to class who ignore and deny US
our God-given right and privilege to earn
our bread BY the sweat OF our brow"
The Southern negroes are admonished to
ally themselves with the Democratic party
as the Republicans have failed to give them
the protection guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton. 1t is claimed that under President
Cleveland the condition Of the negroes in
the South was better than it is to-day. These
people are asked to "cease to be dead
martyrs and become living exponents of a
truly new South
The address closes thus: "Do not vote
from mere sentiment, sometimes termed
gratitude, but cast your ballot with view
to the best interest of your race"
The colored league met in the rooms of the
Democratic State Committee.

The Superintendent Didn't Care Much to
Talk About Ii.
An interview was yesterday obtained
with the Superintendent of the Mount Oliver
Incline about the public park which, it is
rumored, the incline company intend to
purchase and plant.
''The project wonld without the least
doubt pay the company-and pay them
well, too," said the Superintendent. "Tbe
park would be nearer picnicking place
than Silver Lake Grove, and crowds would
visit it.
''Has the company any serious intention
of purchasing the ground spoken of?''
At this question the Superintendent be-
came anything but loquacious. At last he
said: "Well, no such idea will be enter
tanned this year anyhow. Next January
will be time enough to think about the pur-
chase, if there is to be any. think it likely
that the company may do as has been sug
gested"

To-day the superstructure of the channel
span of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and st.
Louis Railway bridge over the Ohio river
at Steubenville will be finished and the
false work removed, leaving the channel
clear for steamboats,. The growth of traffic
on the Panhandle Railway necesSitated a
double track, and it had been laid from
Pittsburg to Wheeling Junction and from
Steubenville to Mingo all double, except
that on the bridge on the eastern end of the
line.
The building of the bridge was a big
undertaking, and it was not aided by Pitts
burg coal men, who once pushed their craft
through the false work and cleaned it out
as effectually as would cyclone.
The bridge has seven open spans, each 231
feet long, and channel span 312 feet long,
making the space between abutments 1886
