Seven wears later.

otVeu years 1dtOi'
Lady Barbara Constam is a widow still.
though she has long since laid aside the
conventional symbols of her great sorrow.
Suffering has written no wrinkles on her
brow, but it has brought the soul into her
face, and the girl-wife of seven years ago,
with features almost infantile in their deli
cacy, and with a slight girlish figure, las
developed into graceful, beautiful woman.
She is seated after lunch on q hot July
day in the oak-paneled library at Grey
stock, where she transacts estate business
with Ballard, the steward. She is dressed
in a hlac-sprigged muslin, open at the
throat, round which is tied piece of black
velvet from which depends an open locket
containing miniature of Newnham Con-
STAN, which has never left her bosom since
it was executed for her in the earlv days of
her widowhood. She is looking unusually
thoughtful and anxious, for she is revolving
in her mind proposal of marriage.
1t is not the first by many that she has
received, 5ut hitherto lovers have sighed at
her feet only to receive firm but courteous
repulse. Time has soltened her grief, and
dimmed the memory of that terrible day
when she first learned that her children
were fatherless, but it has brought with it
no inducement to contract new ties. Be-
yond the circle of her quiet home life her

A FIGHT FOR PURITY.
Ohio's Struggle to Shut Out Adulterated
and Impure Food-A Pittsburg Firm
Tries Vainly to Run the

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.l
COLUMBUS, February 22.-State Food
and Dairy Commissioner Deithick is having
a most interesting time in his efforts to en-
force the existing laws against impure food,
and also in his efforts to have the laws so
amended as to make the penalties more Sc
we're for violations. A strong fight has been
made against the oleomargarine bill, OF
which he is practically the author. He is an
industrious wor..er and is giving many
large firms in other cities and States great
deal of annoyance.
The general agent of Pittsburg picking,
vinegar and jelly works was here the great
er part of last week in an effort to have the
commissioner withdraw some of his objec-
tions against the vinegar which they have
placed on the market in this State. They
have a brand made from corn and branded
cider. Two years ago there was law
passed forbidding this, and year ago there
was another enactment requiring that all
vinegar shall be white.
This restriction practically barred the
Pittsburg firm out and ruined their busi-
ness. They spent the summer in an effort
to discover some means to give their manu-
facture the color of vinegar, and they pro-
duced what was termed malt article. A
sample of it was analyzed by the chemist at
the State University, which showed that it
was only 1 and 15-100 per cent solid
extract, which is distilled vinegar
with some malt in it. After a long
consultation the commissioner agreed
with this firm that if they would make it 2
per cent solid extract that he would let it
60 on the market. This would make it the
same relative quality as cider vinegar, but
- g. =
This was the agreement practically arrived
at, although the firm felt that it would be
scarcely possible for them to manufacture
and transact a paying business under the
restrictions.
The object of the commission is to pre-
vent the article being placed on the market
as pure cider vinegar.

WAS THE VERDICT STRAIGHT?
Testimony to Show Irregularities on the
Part of DimmeH,s Jurors.

Testimony to Show Irregularities on the
Part of Dimmey's Jurors.
Thomas NJ. Marshall, ESQ.,, yesterday pro-
duced before Commissioner Reno testimony
to show why a new trial is sought for Joe
Dimmey, the negro convicted OF numbering
Special Officer Miller in Allegheny last
summer. 1t was charged, and admitted by
James Piatt, that, during the trial J. B.
Dunlevy, one of the jurors, gave Piatt a
note to hand to Dunlevy's son, at a time
when the jury was supposed to have no COM
munication with the outside world.
Evidence of lump on Dimmey's head
was produced, with the intent to show that
he had been struck with handybilly or
some other blunt instrument in a tussle
with Miller before the homicide was COM
mitted. There was also testimony to show
that whisky was furnished to eight of the
IL jurors in place. of coffee at their meals,
pending their deliberations.
If Judge Collier does not hear the argu-
ments on the motion to-day still other tes j.
mony will be taken.

TAKING 1T To RAILROADS.
Gilmore & Co. Propose to Ship Their River
Coal by Rail.

Coal by Rail.
The branch of the McKeesport and
Bellevernon road to New Webster will be
completed about next Christmas. At this
place the coal works of John Gilmore &
Co., river operators, are located. Most of
their output goes to Cincinnati for gas pur-
poses.
Mr.. Gilmore has become tired of the un-
certainty of the river, and when the new
road is finished will ship his coal by rail.
The coal will be delivered to the Pemickey
road. The company are considering plan
to have some of the coal loaded on the
Southside on to Pemickey cars. The coal
will be brought down the river to Pittsburg
in boats.
Rivermen above McKeesport seem to
think that the usefulness of the Pittsburg,
Virginia and Charleston road is at an end,
now that the McKeespors and Bellevernon
road has been opened. The coal on the
Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston side of
the river is said to be of poor quality, and
that hereafter the road will become ex-
clusively coke line.

A Picltpocket CauCht.

W. G. Winters, a Washington county
visitor, had his pocket pickee yesterday on
Market street. Special Agent Bowden, of the
Traction line, saw the pickpocket in time to
sieze him. He called himself Henry Sey-
mour at the Central station, claiming to be
from Harrisburg. AS the collar he wore
is marked "Gibbs," he is not believed to
have given his right name.

Wednesday last, has practically driven every
scholar from the school. Three of the six
teachers remain, though their occupation is
gone They sat in their recitation rooms to-
day at the appointed hours for lessons and were
greeted byempty benches. The farce of con-
tinuing the form of the school being open can

Tunnel No. II, on the Cincinnati Southern
road, near Sunburt, Tenn is still burning
The fire was caused by freight train collision,
by which tank containing $500 gallons Of oil
was broken and set aflre. Loud explosions are
heard every few minutes, indicating that the
limestone, coal and WOODWORK inside the tun-
mel are combining with the flames to make the
tunnel wreck. There is little hope of sub
DUNG the flames, for it is evident that two IL
inch coal veins are burning, and may do so for
months The idea is to flood the tunnel Both
ends have been damned up and two large
streams of water have been turned inside.
This water may fill the tunnel in week. The
tunnel is higher in the middle than at the ends,
and the coal veins are at the high point, so
that the water will hardly reach them. If this
fails an attempt will be made to smother the
flames by sealing the ends of the tunnel to
make it air tight. Thousands of dollars have
been lost in passenger and freight business,
and a l,25U foot tunnel will have to be rebuilt
Road Master Mullane says it will amount to
much more.

A Typical "Tything Man"

Crispus Graves. of Brunswick, was
n tything man who had a due conccp-
ton Of the importance of his Office,
and took an honest pride in perform
ing It's duties without fear or favor.
He was a lingering incarnation Of the
old ] rritlnical spirit which had be-
come extinct in many parts Of New
England before his time.
Every Sunday he took his station
in a wall pew near the door of the an
cicnt Brunswick meeting house. armed
with a long peleand witha whipstoek
and lash; and neither man nor beast
guilty of disturbing the sanctity of the
Lords day could escape his vigilant
eye or rcmorscless weapons.
He was 50 years Old; with the mem.
bers Of the congregation he evidently
had become accustomed to the new
dispcnsation and forgotten his old
part in the worship, when, one Sun.

the minister was in the midst Of his
long prayers, a painting dogcamc trot-
ting up the aisle. The spirit Of the
old tything man was aroused. The
force of habit, though long disused.
once more asserted itself. Crispus
Graves was seen TO solemnly rise up in
his pew. like the ghost of ore Of the
old colonial fathers, raise his knotty
cane and smite the intruding dog upon
his back.
"Yaowl"
The cur uttered a loud yelp and
bounded out of the house of God.
Without the least change upon his
face old Crispus sat down and resumed
his attitude OF devotion. The minister
did not pause in his prayer for an in
slant, but poured forth his resouuding
periods as though nothing had hap
pened. The congregation was too de
vout 10 smile: and the traditions OF
the polo and whiplash of the old days
kept the boys and girls from tittering.
The days service went on to the end
without further nterruption.-Lewis
