AN OLD SWEETHEART OF MINE.
JAMES wHIrcoMB RILEY.

As ono who cons at evening DER an album
all alone
And muses. on the faces OF the frierds that
So turn the leaves of fancy till in shadowy
design
l find the smiling features Of an old sweet
heart of mine,
The lamplight seems to glimmor with u
Kicker of surprise
AS turn II low to rest me OF the dazzle In
my eyes,
And light my Pipe in silence, save sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco, and to vanish In
the smoke
lis fragrant rotrospoction-.f tho low
ing thoughts that start
into being are like perfumes from the bios
SONS OF the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over Is q lux,
ury divine
When my truant fancy wanders with that
old sweetheart of mine,
Though hear, beneath my study, like q
iiuttering Of wings,
The voices Of my children and the mother
as she sings,
feel no twinge of conscience to deny me
any theme
When care has cast her anchor In the har,
In fact, to speak in earnest, believe It adds
charm
To spice the good trlao with little dust
For find an extra flavor In memory's mel,
low vine
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart Of mine,
A face of lily beauty and form Of airy
grace
Floats out Of my tobacco rs the geuI from
the vase:
Aud thrill beneath the glances of a pair OF
azure eyes
As glowing AZ the summer and as tender
as the skies.
! can see the pink sun bonnet and tho little
checkered dress
She wore when first | kissed her, and she
answered the caress
With the written declaration that las sure
ly rs the vino
Grew round the stump, she loved me".-.
that old sweetheart of mine.
And again feel tho pressure OF her slon
der little hand
AS we used to talk together OF tho future
we had planned
When ! should be Il poet ana with nothing
else TO do
But to write tho tender verses that she set
VIC W.
When we could live together In coy little
cot
Hid in nest of roses, with tiny garden
spot
Where the vines were over fruitful and tho
weather ever fine,
And the birds were ever singing for that
old sweetheart of mine
When should DO her lovor forever and u
day,
And she my faithful sweetheart till tho
golden hair was gray;
And we should DO 80 happy that when
either's lips were dumb
They should not smile In heaven till the
others kiss had come.
But, all, my dream Is broken by step up,
on the stair,
And tho door Is softly opened, and-my
wife Is standing there,
Yet with eagerness and rapture all my Wis
ions resign
To meet the living presence of that old
sweetheart Of mine.

l DREADFUL DISASTER.
A Five-Story Hotel Wrecked by
a Boiler Explosion.
The Ruins Take Fire and Many Lives
Are Known to he Lost--Ap-
palling Scenes.

The boiler in the Park Central hotel,
Hartford, Conn, blew up with terrific
force at 5 o'clock totally wrecking the
entire front OF the structure, which
was five-story brick. The ruins inn
mediately took fire, and the work of
the firemen was greatly impeded by
dense volumes OF smoke and steam
which hung over tho debris. An inn
mense crowd soon packed the streets
in the vicinity, and the spectators were
appalled, by tho shrieks and groans OF
many human beings who were impris-
oned in the mass Of timber and masonry
from which the flames were bursting.
BY 8 o'clock tho flames were so far
subdued that tho rescuei9 were en-
abled to get at some OF the victims.
Some were pinned beneath heavy tim
bers, upon which rested masses OF
masonry, rendering the work OF rescue
extremely hazardous. 1t is the most
horrible catastrophe that has ever been
known in Hartford, and when the list
of dead and wounded is completed it
will be found to be q horror equal to
any that has taken place within the
last half century. Tho loss OF life is
believed to DO not less than fifty.
Among those known to be buried in
the ruins are Rev. ID. l.. Perrin and
wife, II. w. +. Whiting, actuary Of tho
Hartford Life Il Annuity company,
Dwight Buell., Wellington Kotchum,
proprietor OF tho hotel, wife and son;
Louis ii. Bronson. About six persons
have been sent to the hospital. Owing
to tho destruction Of the regis
ter of the hotel, the names OF many
guests cannot DO ascertained. The
catastrophe is generally supposed to
have been caused by the explosion OF
the boiler, although some doubt is OK
pressed on this point, as tho building
has been popularity believed TO be I'M
safe. 1t was built on made ground.
1t Is learned that among those buried
in the ruins are Max Galody, editor OF
Hartford Herald; George j. Engler,
drug clork, Hartford; Edward Perry,
night clerk of tho hotel. George
Ketchum, brother OF the proprietor, is
also in tho ruins. Mr.. Pendleton, OF
Indiana, who was soliciting subscrip-
tions to complete the monument to
Thos. A. Hendricks, is among the miss
ing. Mr.. James, agent OF tho White
Star line, was taken out at noon alive
and not seeming to be very badly in
jured, although not able to stand. He
said that Landlord Ketchum and wife
were under where no lay and were
still alive. Buried in tho ruins: j. nj.
Housman, Boston; Goo. w. Root, Bos-
ton; A. T. Tillotson, traveller for the
Merrill Chemical Company, Chicago.
Taken out dead (additionaD: George
Gaines, night porter. At tho hospital,
Jacob Turnpin, waiter; Helen Lapointc,
guest; Jennie Decker, badly burned
and both logs broken. The hotel was
built fifteen years ago and cost $780,
900. 1t is stated that no fragments OF
the boiler has yet been found, which
initiates against tho thcors Of boiler
explosion.

FAMILIES IN PERIL.
Dastardly Attempt to Blow Up q
Tenement House.

A dastardly attempt was made to
blow up aIfive-sto'y tenement house on
Hester street, New York, in which
lived twenty families. 1t was dis
covered just in time and many lives
were undoubtedly saved. When one
OF the inmates who had been out late
returned to the house he found the
place filled with smoke. Hc gave the
alarm and the firemen soon found fire
In the cellar and put 1t out. They
found lot OF paper and rags saturated
with kerosene. A half burned fuse
was discovered attached to paper
bag, and within the bag was found
four or five pounds of powder.

memorial from the legislative coun-
oil of New Mexico was presented to the
senate relating to the price of public
lands in the territory. 1t recites that q
great quantity OF the public land of the
territory, about one-fourth OF the total
area, has been granted to railroads and
is held at So. so an acre, Notwithstanding
the fact that no railroad has been built
under the grants. The consequence is
that would-be immigrants are driven to
other territories. where they can pro-
cnre land for less money. Tho memoir
ialists therefore pray that all public
lands in tho territory be opened to set
Element ut 81. 25 an acre, and that the
price OF coal lands within fifteen miles
Of rrilroad be fixed at $40 an acre, and
Of land further removed IS an acre.

Pause In the NegOtfati0ns-Ms
Money from Australia.

Pause In the NegOttations-IOr ore
Money from Australia.
LONDON, September 11.-Several more
wharfngers have conceded to the de-
mands of the strikers. Nearly 1000
men resumed work this morning. The
strikers are resolute. Their pickets dis
play greater activity and prevent many
patches of new men from proceeding to
the docks.
There is pause in strike negotiations.
Cardinal Manning has postponed his in
terview with the directors of the dock
companies until tomorrow. Burns is ill
from overwork and is taking days rest.
Further contributions of money for the
relief Of the strikers have been received
from Australia. The Strike Committee
has nearly $4,000 in hand. The Sea-
mems Union has sent request to the
unions in Australia to refuse to unload
vessels from London loaded by "black-
legs"
Manning has addressed letter to the
directors of the dock companies. A re-
ply is expected tomorrow.
The docks at Liverpool are unusually
active. Many vessels are going to the
Mersey in preference to the Thames. AT
a meeting today it is be-
lieved the dock directors and
shippers discussed two schemes, the first
for the payment of heavier dues, and the
second for the direct employment of the
dockmen by shippers. The latter sub.
ject is thorny one, and is likely to lead
to proIracted discussion.

panying Stanley to the coast.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, September IL

cured in the coal regions startled the res
idents of Wyoming valley last night.
Just outside of the town of Plymouth the
earth settled for distance Of a half a
mile, efecting about thirty acres of terri
tory which was undermined and was
still being worked out. The conclusion
was thought by many to be caused by an
earthquake. Several mules which were
in the mine at the time were killed and
nearly all the miners lost their working
tools. The damage will be immense.
