der the panther's claws were heard
along the shingles, beating u reluc-
tant retreat.
In a moment or two he was heard
on the shed, and then mother opened
the skylight, reached out and clasped
down the wooden shutter. Susan's
courage revived.
Now that the danger was over,
mother picked me out of the basket
and gathered me again 10 her bosom,
while Susan began TO speculate what
the panther would be up TO next. On
this point she was not long left in
doubt.
In the corner Of the barnyard was
a pig pen, inhabited at the time by
pig three months old. Presently
the poor little pig set up a terrific
squealing, and mother and Susan
rushed TO the gable window.
'As have said before, this window
commanded a view OF the barn yard.
The panther was on the roof of the
pen, peering down through the cracks
and scratching vigorously 10 gain an
entrance. Baby had been denied
him; but for pork he was determined.
The pig squealed in way that
mother trusted would alarm the neigh
borhood, and tried TO hide himself In
the straw from the reach of those
pale, cruel eyes. At last the panther
quilted the roof and found the pen
door. Here he paused "a moment or
two, suspecting another trap. Then,
finding nothing suspicious, in he
glided. There was one terrific squeal,
and all was still
Il fancy mother and Susan both
wept, thinking how well the fate OF
poor piggie might have been their
own-and mine.
For a long while the two women
kept watch at the window. He glanced
at the house in n good -natured way, as
if he bore us no grudge, cleaned his
great face with Ole paw, shifted the
air thoughtfully in various directions,
and then made of toward the woods
and we knew that our pig went
with him.
when he was well out Of sight
mother and Susan removed the barri-
cades and forsook the attic. You
may be sure they fastened every win
dow, kept u keen lookout and went
about their work in fear and trem-
bling.
When my father got home, in the
middle of the afternoon, he heard
the story before he Embarrassed the
horse. Straightway he set out again
and organized Il hunting party among
the neighbors. The party was armed
with all sorts and conditions Of weap-
ons; but it bagged that panther be-
fore sundown, whereby was my
mother much consoled. And now,

ion, turning to Willis.

sponded the latter.
well, went on Stranion, unrufiied,
''since they took the trouble TO get

up
At this moment "a strange, unearthly,
gurgling cry broke the nights still
ness, and we started involuntarily.
He's onyour track, sure, Stranion,"
calculated Sam. But, to judge from
his voice, your story has rather sick

THAT noise came of the lake
growled Willis. He's coming after
you by water, maybe?'

sleepy reply, that's nothing but a
young loon, learning his notes. Now

THE HEARING CONCLUDED.

Ex-Mayor LiddelI Gives His Side of the
Assault aud Battery Case.
The hearing in the case of assault and bat
terry against Robert Liddell before Alder
man McMasters was concluded yesterday.
The prosecutrix, Mrs. Honorah Clark, testi-
fed that Mr.. Liddell had taken hold of her
arm and forcibly elected her from his office,
throwing her down pair of steps. She fell
on the sidewalk and was considerably
bruised about the hip and on one shoulder.
DIR. j. N. Staub testified that Mrs. Clark
had called on him to dress her injuries and
that he had found slight bruises on her
body.
The defendant then testified to
Mrs Clark coming to his office
to demonstrate with him for selling liquor to
her minor son. He told her that such was
not the case, and that if the son got liquor
from their firm on the representation that
he was not minor he told her he would
prosecute him. He said Mrs. Clark refused
to leave the Office after talking quite a
length of time and that he led her to the
door by the arm. She called him vile names,
he said, and attempted to bite him on the
arm. He put her out the door and closed
it, when she fell down the steps. he did
not use any undue force. The Alderman
reserved his decision.

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
A Travelling Salesman From Ohio Under
Arrest In Allegheny.


Arrest In Allegheny.
Yesterday afternoon Charles McChesney,
connected with the firm of Thomas R. Herd
& Co., cracker manufacturers on Beech
street, Allegheny, visited Alderman Nickel
vey's Office and had q warrant issued for the
arrest of j. G. Stanton for embezzlement.
Stanton is travelling Esan whose home is in
Steubenville. For some time he has been
selling goods for Herd & Co. throughout
Ohio. He is accused of embezzling S400 of
the company's money, which he collected in
his work. StaDton's custom has been to
come to the city about once fortnight, and
Yesterday was his day.
Constable John Irwin went to the factory,
where he found Stanton at about o'clock.
The salesman was surprised. and greatly
worried by the arrest. he is a large, fine
looking man of about 35 years, and dresses
WE'LL He was accompanied 10 the Alder
mans office by George M. Haines, one OF
the members of the firm.
Stanton said that he knew little about
the law, and asked the Alderman what he
could do for himself Squire McKelvey
replied that if he could secure bail for
81 900 he would be released for hearing at
10 A. M. next Wednesday; If he could not
get bail he would be sent to Jail. 81 have
no friends here" Stanton said. "Can't you
, let me 60? If l could get out to Ohio I
think could raise this money"
\ The Alderman could not let the prisoner
90 without bail. Stanton then asked Mr..
Hhines to sign his bond, but that gentleman
refused. Stanton was taken to the City
Hall station and placed in q cell. II he
does not secure bail this morning he will be
sent to the county Jail.
From his cell last night Stanton sent two
telegfams to friends in Steubenville. asking
them TO come to Allegheny Immediately.

SCHooNMAKER BOUGHT OUT.
The FrIck Coke Company Makes Another
Deal-The President is the Coke King
of the WorId-Mc Clure's Next.

The FrIck Coke Company Makes Another
Dcal-The President is the Coke King
of the World-McClure Next.
The latest deal in coke circles is the sale
of the J. M. Schoonmaker Coke Company to
the HI. C. Frick Company.
Yesterday afternoon the former firm sent
to the newspaper offices circulars stating
that they had sold out their entire property
to Mr.. Frick. They stated that no change
would occur in the management. and the
business of the company would be con-
Quoted as heretofore. This means that
Colonel Schoonmaker's people will still
continue to transact the business of Mr..
Frick's new purchase and remain In his en-
ploy.
Colonel Schoonmaker is summering at
Mayville, N. Y. and the deal was conducted
by S. L. Schoonmaker, who said yesterday:
1t is purely business deal on the part OF the
Frick Coke Company and the Schoonmaker
Coke Company. The first named asked our
price; we cav gave it and ars 1t nriyats is case Sc
the Frick Company's hands, considering the
condition of the coke business, it will be made
easier to maintain the price OF coke where
which, in turn, will benefit the consumer; pre-
venting the large increase in the prices that
have prevailed in the past.
The Schoonmaker Company owned ,096
ovens, divided as follows: Alice, 251;
Jimtown, 294; Sterling, 100, and Redstone,
451. They also had one-third interest in
the Limited Coal and Coke Company's
plant, which consists OF 800 ovens.
By the purchase, Mr.. Frick now owns a
trife over S,1OO ovens, or three-tourths of
the total number in the Connellsville re-
gion. This includes the Moore property,
which he has purchased. but the deal has
not yet been closed.
1t was rumored on the street yesterday
that the next firm to sell out to Mr.. FrIck
would be the Mcclure Company. This
firm owns 1856 ovens, and the only one Of
any pretensions that has not been bought
out. Their plant is located on the South
west road, near Everson. A member OF the
firm stated yesterday that there were no
negotiations going on concerning thesale of
their plant
Mr.. H. c. Frick went to Cressou yester-
day morning, and could not be seen about
his latest purchase. If he buys the Nc
Clure plant he will have everything in the
region except few scattered ovens owned
by small producers and furnacemen.
