CHAPTER ".
At THE LAST MOMENT

For several hours before these occur

horse had been ascending the precipitous
side of these mountains. toiling through
the denies, and penetrating the gullies
The road was winding and often OBJ
scUre; often it ceased 10 be of the char
acter of p highway, and became a mere
path. This traveller was no stranger in
this region. but there were places where
the way became unusually steep and
rocky, and the direction was doubt
/ ful, at which he would dismount
and carefully examine the SURROUNDINGS
and then mount again and resume his
way. Though sometimes embarrassed
he never failed in the end to spell out
the right path
He was nj this time about Twenty-Five
years OF age, and appeared, as he easily
sat on his horse, to be of medium height
broad shOUldered and muscular. His
large, wel}-shaped head was covered
with brown hair which showed from I'M
der his wide hat, his face was fresh and
rosy, Il curly brown beard and long
mUStache gave il a manly look; and
while the mouth was thus concealed
there was a straight, shapelynose above.
and there were two such large and deem
blue eyes as are not often given to a
man. His face as he rode slowly along.
was mirror of thought. Anxiety would
be pictured there, then resolution would
flash from his eyes. and then sorrow or
apprehension of evil would take its
place. The saddle that he bestrode was
furnished with holsters. and once he
took out the pistols that they contained
and carefully examined them.
At sunset of this day he drew rein on
one of the levels of these heights. and
looked away to the south. The whole
region was flooded with light, and all lis
picturesque features We're spread before
him as on map. He could see the
towering ridges that seemed lost in the
horizon. the valleys that sheltered I'M
seen villages, and even thread-ike
gllmpses of the French Broad. winding
down toward distant knoxville. Lone
and earnestly he looked, and a SIGH
burst from his breast.
And this region, too. must be giver.

He turned and rode on. His face grew

was growing sleeper and more difficult.

NORFOLK, Va, October 27.-The
schooner George T. Simmons, of Cam
den, N. j., was wrecked off False Cape
in storm last Wednesday night. When
the vessel was first seen in the breakers
by the life-ssvers, on Thursday morning,
five men were lashed in the rigging. One
by one the doomed men were swept
away in the sea. Last night two men
were left, and at sunset this evening only
one remained, and undoubtedly he will
share the fate of his shipmates before
morning. The life-saving crews have
~atched for an opportunity to 90 to the
rescue, but the surf has run too high for
boat to make an attempt at relief.
A large three-masted schooner, flying
flag Of distress, is ashore eight miles
outside Of Oregon inlet. Assistance will
be sent from here.
The schooner Lizzie F. Faynes, lumber
laden, from Savannah to Baltimore, has
been wrecked on Bodies island. The
captain and steward were saved; five
men were drowned. The vessel is total
loss and her cargo is washing ashore.
The schooner A. E. Blackman rolled
over 200 miles at sea. Captain Charles
Edwards, by the aid of cork jacket,
swan to New Inlet and was saved. The
remaining five of the crew were lost.

JEWELLERS along the hill district Of the
city are looking with an interest that is
intense and anxious to what the Council
will do today in relation to the Second
street cable. If there is anything Mr..
Mclaughlin wants, to vitalize his enter
prise, which the Council can give and be
consistent in their regard for the inter-
ests of others, let him have it. But only
on the most explicit terms Of agreement
that he will put his road in motion, and
that he will keep it in motion; and that
with due regard to the public easement
for which all franchises are granted. Il
there is no way to operate the road while
it remains in the hands Of the present
owners, let them get out of the way as
best they may and let the privilege &C
into the hands of someone who can man
age its affairs successfully. But the in
terests of so large section of the city
should not be trified with lightly.

Remarkable Trott,nu.

The time-2:1314-made on Friday by
Leland Stanford's young FLY, Sunol,
adds another to the list of remarkable
performances that make the trotting
season of 1889 remarkable.
While neither the 20SA of Maud g..
nor the 2:10 of Jay.Eye.See has been
equalled, there never has been a year in
which so many different horses have
made records of about 2:l4 or below.
Look, for instance, at this list:
Guy ........... 2:10A Palo Alto 2;13A
Belle. Hamilton .2:l2T Axteli. '........ 2:14
sunol 2:131 Nelson. ....... 2-14A
1t is Noteworthy fact that the last
four OF there are stations, which speaks
highly for the successful development Of
sires. 1t is also noteworthy that two in
the list are but 3-year-olds. 1t is only a
few weeks since Axtell lowered the
3year-old record from 2 liz to Q IA. Now
comes Sunol and carries off the honors
with the remarkable time of 2 :13L.
Here are five horses that have in one
season trotted below 2:14, and one in
2 IA and one in 2:14I. No previous
year can present such showing. The
season has also been remarkable for the
number of other trotters that have en-
tered the 2 30 list and trotted low down
in the teens.
All of which will naturally inspire en-
thusiasm among those interested in this
type of horse.-[New York Herald.

lying side by eide. One was covered
with . fne walnut orchard, producing
crops worth $500 to $500 an acre one
year with another. The other was
covered with weeds whose net
value was nil. Two years ago
the owners stood discussing what
they should do with their land.
One announced his intention to plant the
trees, and did it. The other suggested
that they were not young men and
would not live to reap the fruits Of their
labor many years after the trees would
come in bearing. The men have still
many years Of life before them so far as
human sight can penetrate the future.
Whether they live many years
or few, one will do 80 in
affiuence and the other in penury.
Plant trees. If you do not reap the har-
vest, your children will; or, if not, your
land will be worth more to some one.
Plant trees. And do not stop at fruit
trees, but plant all. sorts of forest, shade
and ornamental trees as your circum'
stances will permit. They grow while
you sleep, while the rain falls and the
sun shines. Each foot OF height they
attain makes your property worth
more. Plant trees.

SINGLETARY,S REMAINS.
The Poor Fellows Body Found an d
Buried by Miners.

SAN DIEGO, October 27.-Four miners
from Cocopab placer have reached here
and state that on the desert they found
the body of young Singletary, the young
Los Angeles lawyer who met his death
on the desert some months ago, by
being deserted by his companions.
The poor fellows remains were found
only mile and half from the water.
He evidently died in frenzy of agony,
as his hat was in one place and his over
alls, shirt and boots were scattered in
different directions. The remains were
nearly nude. The body was completely
mummifed, the desert heat having pre-.
vented decom position and preserved the
corpse perfectly. The coyotes had mutt.
lated the legs somewhat, but otherwise
the corpse was preserved. They buried
him where he was found.

YESTERDAY We gave in full the circular
letter of instructions issued by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue to govern
the methods of subordinates in ferreting
out illicit distilling. Such a system OF
surveillance is an insult to free people,
and such methods Of espionage will
never prevent fraud. On the contrary,
they are the fertile parents of fraud and
always have proven such where they
have been put in practice. The whole
Internal Revenue system is not worth
the degradation such requirements put
on the officials. self.respecting Ameri-
can citizens will not be long found in a
system whose duties are so abhorrent to
honorable minds.

IT Is the deliberate intention of the
HERALD to stay right with the proposition
of producing our OWE hog products at home
until the farmers and all others see it.
This will include those whose interest it
is to see the proposition otherwise just
now. We can recall the time when po-
tatoes were considered an impossible
product of the section. We remember
the day when all the butter consumed in
the city was made outside the county.
1t is now considered very good
potato section and very good
butter section. 1t is not as well under
stood as utter-producing section as it
deserves to be. But this proposition is
getting somewhat generally understood.
The HERALD takes some pride in the part
it has taken in creating true impressions
of the section, and dissipating false ones.
1t ia our purpose to create some more
true impressions and to dispel more false
ones. Some of our contemporaries have
been effective although humble followers
of the HERALD in this good work. The
Rural has done some of this good
work. We hope to see it return to the
line of patriotic devotion to the section
that once marked it's course, and to the
common sense programme Of standing
by the interests of its subscribers and
patrons. When it does, interested par
ties will not be allowed to use its col
umns to malign Los Angeles county.

WESTERN producers are beginning to
learn what subservient tool of eastern
manufacturers the Republican party is.
The said astute manufacturers knew it
all the time, and knowing it, bought the
Presidency for Deacon Harrison. The
West at last has made the discovery of
what dupe it has been. There is big
revolt brewing there on silver coinage
and prohibitory war tariffs. Wall street
and Lowell will not long be able to
dictate terms to the West, nor to pull the
wool over the eyes Of the people.

Peter McKenna and a number of other
farmers assembled at the farm of Albert
Smith to assist at barn raising. A feud
has existed twenty years between
the Doud and McKenna families
over the ownership Of land. A quarrel
took place yesterday afternoon, when,
without warning, Thomas Doud shot and
killed McKenna. A friend of the muir
dered man then killed Doud, after
which the battle became general. How
many others were wounded has not been
learned. A posse Of officers were sent
from New Hampton, and Doud's two
sons and Melville, who shot Thomas
Doud, have been brought to town and
locked up.

A Bitter Crossing Fight.

CRooKsroN, Mimi, October PA
bitter crossing fight between the Duluth,
Crookston and Northern and the Mani
toba roads which has been I'm progress
for two days, was brought to a focus this
morning. The Manitoba had engines
and heavy trains above and below the
proposed crossing. and was evidently
determined not to let the other road
cross. BY daylight, however, the
Duluth road men had their lines
laid to within few feet of
the Manitoba tracks. The forces
of the latter road were then ordered by
Superintendent James to prevent the
crossing being made. James was imme-
distely arrested and carried off, notwith-
standing stout resistance. The Manitoba
forces then wrecked an engine and fiat
cars on the proposed crossing, whereupon
the wrecking crew were also arrested.
This Duluth officials then after some con-
sultation decided to await the decision on
the Injunction case tomorrow.

The Irish Question.

The main point, as your address points
out, is the Irish question. And why?
Because until you settle the Irish ques-
ton you never will redeem the character
of England from the dishonor that at
taches to it all over the world for the
treatment of Ireland, with rare excep-
tons, through seven hundred years.
ICheers.l Until you settle the Irish
question you will never have
real union between these two countries,
which are now united on parchment, but
not according to the ties of the heart.
And again, you never, till you settle
the Irish question, will have the free
use OF your own parliament. During the
present government, moderate as the
Irish nationalists have been in keeping
back their just claims, yet l don't sup.
pose that l greatly exaggerate if say
that half of our time has been occupied
with Ireland. You never will have the
use of your own parliament until that
question is settled, and the use of your
own parliament is vital matter to
ycu. Notwithstanding all that legis-
lation has done within the last
fifty years, and that period il
on the whole illustrative of the works,
not indeed of the House of Lords, but of
the House of Commons in the time of
Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell
and other distinguished statesmen
who have labored in these good works-
yet, depend upon it, the wants of society
are not diminishing, but increasing.
New views and social demands are COM
ing up. Those views will require reason
able satisfaction. Parliament will al
ways find plenty to do. hope the time
will come when it will be overworked as
at certain times it has been.
There will always be plenty to do, but
it never can perform those works with
perfect efficiency until you have settled
the great Irish question-settled it on the
ground OF policy, settled il ON the ground
of justice, settled it specially on the
ground of our hope and ardent longing
for that union, and that affection, and
that loyalty, which we cannot obtain
under the present false and artificial sys-
tenn, but which, rely upon it, will be OBJ
tanned beyond all reasonable question.

and the loyal attachment of the Irisn

Firing Tanncr,s Accompiices.

WASHINGTON, October PA letter
was made public today from Secretary
Noble to Col. j. E. Smith, until few
days ago Chief Of the Certificate Division
of the Pension Office, from which it
would seem not improbable that those
employees of the Pension Office who
were re.rated are stated to lose their
places. The letter says in part:
81 deem it to the best interests OF the
service that the men who were re-rated
in the Bureau, should not continue there
to exercise their influence in that direc.
ton, either by their presence or counsel,
and that the new Commissioner should
have better opportunity to correct the
evils which l consider of grossest char
acter."

A Rector surprises His Flock.

NEWARK, N. j., October 27.-Some
surprise was caused this evening in
Trinity Episcopal church, the most fash
ionable in the city, by the announce
ment that the rector, J. Saunders Reed,
would resign and 60 to San Francisco
church. The matter was discussed ct
vestry meeting last night, and the
rector's resignation was not accepted.
There has been trouble in the church
for the past two years.. many prominent
members quarreling with the rector over
what they called the high.handed man
ner in which he ruled the church. The
trouble was about quieted when the
sudden announcement of his Props ID

Jewish Merchants M obbed.

New ORLEANS, October PA special
to the Picayune states that on Saturday
morning the stores of the Jewish mer-
chants at Delhi, La, were attacked and
fred into by mob of sixty or seventy
men, about thousand shots being fred
and the fronts and some of the stock OF
the stores were greatly damaged. Business
rivalry and the fact that the Jewish
merchants were monopolizing the trade,
is the reason assigned for the outrage,
although the action is attributed to q
drunken crowd, the respectable citizens
having had nothing to do with it.
