remarked Julia. "Inever saw her to such
advantage before"
Meantime Nep, after circling about be.
tween the boats and the ship, had APP
~parently had enough of it and was slowly
swimming back to the ship. Suddenly
there was a commotion on board, and
the second mate took up the speaking
trumpet and hailed us:
"Boat ahoyl" he cried. sect the dog
on board; there are two sharks coming
down on him!"
"Give way, my ladsl Scott is right; /

"Here, Nep! Nep!" cried Julia, excit'

But Nep did not hear, or else paid NO
attention, and swan slowly on.
"Poor thingl' cried Mrs. Carmichael;
che is swimming right into the sharks
mouth"
"Nep! Nep! Nepi" shrieked Julia.
"Come back, come backg
The dog evidently heard her, for he
turned and began to swim back.
"Pul, my lads, pull for your lives!"
shouted, cor it will be all up with poor
Nep." At this moment, the dog, seeing
we were rapidly approaching him, re.
Taxed his efforts. "Nep! Nep! here, boy,
here" I cried, excitedly, and he again
began to swim towards us.
Capt. Sarsfeld had also realized the
dogs peril, and the two boats were be-
ing urged through the water at racing
speed. 1t was a moment of intense TX
element. Julia and her mother sat pale
and m~otionless, with their hands clasped.

"Well done, my bonnies! Hurrahl

shouted.
At the moment a puff of smoke burst
from the ships side. There was a re-
port and a splash in the water. The sec

commotion caused by the shot striking

lucky shot; the right thing to do and

The next minute Nep was alongside
and was hauled into the boat, and a
ringing cheer came from the men ON

boats.

Tommy Cried .'Rats."

Little Tommy Mccarthy, of Morgan
street, was caught yesterday afternoon
behind the counter of Mrs. Bahrens'
bakery, in suspicious proximity to the
good bakers till. Tommy was "yanked"
out by an unfeeling policeman and locked
up in q cell of the Gregory street station
which can be seen from Cooper place. His
tears and cries soon caused q throng to
co%ngregate about the window of the
prison near his cell, and with many sobs
Tommy informed them that there was
rats in the cell that were biting his legs.
When asked to show the bites, Tommy
disappeared in the darkness of his cell
and refused to come forth.

SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Nine Indian Territory Murderers TO Hang
in January.

Nine Indian Territory Murderers TO Hang
in January.
FoRT SMITH, ARK, November 6.-In the
Federal Court to-day Judge Parker pass
ed sentence of death upon nine Indian
territory murderers, fixing the date Of ex-
sculion on Thursday, January 16, 1890.
Before proceeding with his disagreeable
task, the Judge said
There is something remarkable about
these men who have been found guilty of
the awful crime of murder, which shows
that crime committed in the Indian terri
tory, and within the jurisdiction Of this
court, is punished as speedily as in ary
court in the world. Of these nine men 10
be sentenced every one of them, with the
sole exception of II. Austin, have COM
mitted these murders within year past,
and have been arrested, tried and found
guilty in that time. The one furthest off
was year ago to-day. whilo others oc-
CURED in March, April aud May. Another
thing usually in so many crimes there is
some doubt of the wickedness of the
murderer, and the intent to commit muir
der, but in these nine cases the evidence
has failed to bring to light one single
mitigating circumstance. They are all
! cold-blooded murderers, and some Of
them the worst ever brought to the
notice of this court. If you were to
search the world over you could not find
nine crimes so black as these, and yet
seven of these men are Indians, which is
also an unusual thing"
At the conclusion of his remarks
the judge proceeded to pass the dread
sentence upon the culprits, one at q time,
commencing with George Tobler, negro,
who murdered Irwin Richardson at q
dance in the Choctaw nation last fall
His victim was playing the fiddle, and
Tobler shot him through crack in the
house. Charles Bullard, young mu-
latto, murdered Walker Bean, near Glib.
son station, Cherokee nation, in March
last. II. Austin, full-blood Chickasaw,
killed Thomas Elliott, q white man, at
Tishomingo, May ~, 1884, shooting him
down in cold blood. s. Billy, Thomas
Willis and Matison James murdered a
white man named B. Blair, in the Chock-
taw nation, April, 1889, for the purpose
of robbing him. Sam Gains and JImmon
Burris are also Choctaws. They mar.
dered a young Texan named Houston
Joyce in November, 1888. Jefferson
Jones, Choctaw, murdered Henry Wills,
sixty--five years Of age, on the 18th of
March last. He acknowledged the crime
and told how he shot the old man, robbing
him of his gun and So, but begged for
mercy, asking the court to give him a
new trial and another chance for his life.
II. Austin, also asked for a new trial and
new lawyer. This is the largest num-
Der ever sentenced here at one time, and
in all probability all of them will be hung
on the above mentioned date, making it
the largest execution by three that ever
| took place here.

RELIGIOUS DELUsIoN.

Peoples religious convictions, whatever
they may be, whether orthodox or heter-
odox, whethertheir views harmonize with
the prevailing sentimens Of this or that
branch of the church, or whether their
notions may be tinctured with agnosticism
or any other whatever their con.
yictions may be they are fully entitled to
hold them, under the wise and benevolent
laws of our country. And all well dis
posed citizens regard the privilege as a
sacred one-according to Others the
same rights they themselves exercise in
thinking for themselves. But really there
are some forms of fanatcism, that one
can hardly think about, much less write
about with any very great degree of
patience.
And prominent just now among them
is that which dupes some people to take
stock in the historic idea OF fixing specific
date for the destruction of the world.
We say historic idea, because of
the iunumerable times that have
been fixed for this great catas-
trophe since the days of some am
biguous statements made by some of the
writers of the New Testament Scriptures.
A literal Interpretation of some highly
tigurative forms of speech, especially
such as abound in the book of Revela-
tion, have led some religious enthusiasts
TO think they have found the key that un-
locks the mystic weeks of Daniel, so as
to determine the precise year, month,
week and day of what they call the
Lords Coming"
History shows that every month in the
year has been fixed, and that dates have
been arranged many time in every GEN.
tury for the event. Within this century
many great preparations have been made
for it. 1t is within the recollection of
not.very old people that the Millerite de-
lusion numbered its dupes by not only
hundreds but by thousands In the East,
in Pennsylvania, in Ohio, in Illinois and
Indiana, and in many of the Southern
States, vast assemblages met on
the night of sthe expected time.
Hundreds of people were clad in what
they regarded as ascension robes, and
waited, and prayed, and sang, and
shouted-and we'll. sorcly tired, soured
and dIsgusted went home sadder, if not
wiser by their miserable experince. How
many dates have been fixed since then
for the winding up all mundane affairs,
we would not like to say but in round
numbers they are many.
One would suppose thee world OF man
kind would tire of the to!ly, but not so
for let any one fix IL time and preach,
and sing and pray about it he can have
followers by the multitude. History
teaches that It is so natural and so easy
for people, some people, yea good many
people to put faith in any great religious
mOnstrosity. They seem to pride them
selves on the vast extent Of their faith-a
faith that laughs at impossibilities. Seem
ingly the more extravagant areligious idea
the greater their faith in it and thus

they act on the principle that the more a
religious idea antagonizes good Gu ommeD
sense, the more worthy of belief il is.
Failures in the past, though numbered
by the many hundreds, has no effect
upon the adventists of our day. At
fredericksburg, Va, quite a large num-
ber had been in camp for some time pre-
seding the 22d of last month, the day
fixed for the coming of their Lord. at
latest date about forty of them are still
waiting, saying he will surely come this
or next week.
The strange part of the matter is that
these people are ordinarily rational Oh
all ether subjects but such is the in6u
eDoe of tho particular form of fanati
cism they are afflicted with, that they
have let farms and all kinds of business
go TO the dogs, while they have fooled
away weeks and months in doing nothing
but singing, praying and shouting.

CAMBRIA COUNTY is safely in the Demo-
cratic column for years to come. The
discipline of an occasional defeat some
times operates healthfully. The party is
to be congratulated upon its triumph in
the county this year, in as much as o
special effort was made by the opposite
party to eject its candidates. We are not
inclined to think that the Flood Relief
played as important part in the election
as some suppose. The county is Demo-
cratic when she is at herself, and that is
what she was this time. The loss of votes
by the food affected both parties to about
the same extent.
