The spirit remained in the body, but
the clay tenement refused to acknow-
ledge the presence of the master Sense
lay wrapped within the brain and be-
hind the sullenly closed lids. Speech was
there, but somehow it could not force it's
way through the stubborn lips. The ears
were open to catch the slightest sound,
and eagerly they drank it in; but the
shaken nerves refused to listen, or at
best only grudgingly as yet.
And thus lay BERTHE in trance-dead,
and yet alive; ready to speak, dying to
utter his thoughts, and yet dying, be-
cause his speech was looked; the pressure
on the brain was not yet Embossed, and
BERTHE lay there, almost as he fell, it
seemed to him.
But yet things were curiousIy mixed
up around him. He could move his hands
and feel he was lying upon soft cushions.
Dull to his ears arose the sound of those
horrible whirring carriage wheels. 1t
seemed to him as if he were back again
in the railway carriage, en- route to Man
chester.
Still people were about him. Feminine
fingers administered to him-that gentle
touch just now was very different from
he other tender fnger-tips of some good
Samaritan, PROBABLY doctor.
The subtle odor of a lady's presence
chung swsetly around BERTHE as he lay
sensible to what passed, but unable to
form word, or look his thanks, or even
recognize his gentle care.
Once he essayed TO open his eyes, an d,
oh, how the vision of that one fair face
he loved hung over his half-oonscious
brows, and was for a second photograph
ed upon his brain! No it was gone-a
moment more and the dull whirl of the
revolving wheels, the even motion of the
Pullman car, all seemed to hold him in
thrall as he lay supine on the soft cush-
ions.
But this could not last. By slow de-
grees the brain Presumed its sway. He
opened his eyes. Things we're very dim
to him, and the cold, chill hand of Death
apparently was on him. He could not
move his head, bat as he gazed with dull

The Way 1t is.Going.

Robert Sigel, son of General Feapz
Sigel, Pension Agent at New York, was
arrested yesterday on charge of forgery
and violating the pension laws. He has
been EN- ployed by his father as private
secretary and confidential cle~k, and has
been in the habit of exaoting fees from
pensioners. The amounts he secured
ranged from 81 to $500. He confesses
having violated the laws over hundred
and fifty times. One charge against him
is the forging of the Endorsement of Sid
ney Knight, blind veteran, by which
Knight lost $500. His excuse for the
forgery was that he had procured the
pension for Knight, and that the latter
was satisfied with the amount which he
received. In default of $4,000 bail, Sigel
was sent to jail to wait examination next
Tuesday.

paper brands Attorney General Webster
as an impudent and shameless liar, and
advocates the criminal prosecution of
Houston.

laUsr BE ANOTHER BURNS.
A Trsmp's Remarkable Story to the
Atlanta Police.


A badly battered up individual, who
claims to have been chief engineer of the
Inflated steamship City of Columbus which
was wrecked on Gays Head Ave years ago,
was arrested in Atlanta Saturday night
He gave the name Of James Burns, and
claims among other nautical adven-
lures, to have crossed the
Atlantic 400 times before he was
finally stove up in the City of Colum-
bus wreck Drunkenness was the cause Of
Burns arrest. In his coat pocket was a
bate. ed old wallet containing papers that
identified the prisoner as One of the mo
remarkable men-from a medical stand
point, at least--tbat ever lived. He had
his liver torn out. He had his skull crushed
in half a dozen places and a silver plate put
in. He breathes through a silver tube.
His arms were broken. His legs were
broken. Every rib in him was broSen and
three Of them were taken out. And his
back was broken. He lived through 1t, AID
has, as stated hy the papers, Travelled over
more territory in the past two years than
uiuety-nine men out or hundred SEE in a
lifetime.
A clipping from a Milwaukee Wis
paper showed that Burns had been bsfore
the police there, and he told pretty straight
story of his connection with the city OF
Columbus, which the newspapers published
The trouble with the story is that no such
man as Burns was ever reported IN connec-
ton with the wreck. The City of Columbus
chief engineer was Archibald Morri,on
and the assistant engineers we're Phillips,
Collins and Murray. Burns may be labor
ing under a delusiOn or he NAV be story
telling for the benefit Of the Atlanta police.

Inaugurated Tonight.

1O-NlRuL.
Emma Abbott, accompanied BY her man
ager and company, arrived from Atlanta
last night. The prima donna occupies
suite Of rooms at the Pulaski Tonight she
will inaugurate Savannah's second operate
festival
The opening opera, 1.-THE Rose of Ca tile, -
is one of the most brilliant in Miss Abbott's
repertoire In it the diva executes a
wonderful vocalism, which, when given in
Chicago early in the season, was declared to
rival, if not eclipse the phenomenal vocal
pyrotechnics with which the unique Di
Murska astonished the country during her
visit several years ago. In the second act,
and the third also, Miss Abbott appears en-
throned amidst th4 splendor of the Castil-
liam court The opera brlstles with spark
ling comedy throughout, and at TIE same
time contains the most beautifully emo
ii, nal music.
The sale of sea 8 for the opening night is
the largest of any for the week. Every seat
in the front rows of the dress circle and in
the center rows Of the parquet has been
taken. Some of them are held by specula-
tors and anti-speculators, and are being
offered at S. u seat The rush for seats l.
the biggest ever known here The anti
specializing movement which was intended
to crush the spectators did
not work as satisfactorily as it
was intended. A good many orders for
seats were not filled at all, and at the last
moment the patrons of the movement found
that they were LETT out altogether. The
seat question is very bothersome one to
theater-goers, and one that is not likely to
be satisfactorily settled very soon.

J. E. Bowling Convicted OF AssauIting
Harry T. Beckett.
The jury in the John e. Bowling case
Saturday night returned verdict of
guilty, but recommended mercy. The
court reserved sentence The charge
against Bowling was assault and battery
upon Harry T. Beckett.
II appeared from the testimony that
Becke {, who had charge Of the wharf Of J
b. West & Co., in November last, objected
TO AcCor hicks dravmen rolling turpentine
barrels of the wharf upon wa er craft, but
upon the instru tions of the owners Of the
wharf wanted the draymen to use skids.
Bowling, who was in the employ of Nc
Cormick, and Beckett had some words over
the wharf regulations, which led TO Dowl-
log striking B sckett with his fist. Beckett
swore out a warrant in Justice Molinas
court, but Downing before completing his
bond, again met Beckett, the quarrel was
renewed, and a other fl got ensued. Dow
ling claimed that Beckett commits the
first assault at the second meeting, but Beck
EFT denied it.
