WHAT SHE FEARED.
But the Little Married Man Made Every
Thing All Right.

Thing All Right.
The car was filed with eXcursionists
returning from the exposition, says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Every seat con-
tanned pair of Buckeye lovers. The
last bear died in Ohio some time ago,
but the art of hugging has survived. 1t
was the midnight express, and the air
was right chilly, but not soul noticed
that except poor, little married man
who sat alone in the half seat by the
unlighted stove. He looked down the
car and noticed that apparently all the
young men were one-armed; at least but
one arm of each male was visible. The
light in the car was very low, however,
and that may account for the phenom-
onon.
Lovers like twilight; if Adam and Eve
did not sing SIN the Cleaning it was
because they knew fresher song. And
1t was twilight in that car, for all three
double lamps were turned down very
low, and before the train was out
of the Allegheny yards the flame in
one of them had sputtered, flared a
moment, and expired. OF course every
girl in the Car was alarmed when the
gloom deepened. Every girl got a
little closer to her protector, and q few
minutes later, when the second lamp
began to show signs of collapse-the
flame leaping up frantically as if afraid
to die-about a dozen pianissimo
screams came from as many feminine
throats.
The conductor opened the door few
minutes later and the draught finished
lamp number two. This left one lamp
alight at tho rear end of the car. How
anxiously it was Observed Would it
go ont? 1t looked consumptive, but
there was no draught to expedite it's de-
cease. AT last the train whistled for
its first stop and tho little married man
came out of his corner by the stove to
alight. He had been a bachelor once,
and he remembered it as he laid his
hand on the door-knob. The train had
not stopped, but he opened the door,
and Immediately gust Of wind mur-
dcred the last lamp. AS he stood in
tho doorway inhaling cinders and river
fog he had tho satisfaction Of hearing o
sweet, low voice murmur behind HIM:

On our way back we stopped at Toms
house for dinner, so that | might see
that spread of soap-making Ingredients.
AS we rode up to the door of the log
cabin pack of some dozen or more ours,
of every conceivable size and color, came
rushing snarliug and swapping at our

about fourteen summers peeped around
the corner of the hut and yelled:

panion.

know them purps won't bite. Yer've
bin here before, Dick. Who's thet
chap?"
Hes all right, Sallie; he wants your
dad to tell him about the hunting in
these parts"
We hitched our horses to pine sap
lings and had almost reached the door
when a swarm of half-naked, tallow-
faced. frowsly-headed urchins surround

corner and was waiting to receive us,
cordially inviting us Co enter.
"Where are the old follls?" asked my
friend.
MAN, she's a-sottin' out 'tater vines,
and dad, he's a-huntin'. They'll be here
arter while. Sit down"
Sallie then went to the back door,
and, placing a cow-horn to her lips, blew
several loud blasts.
"That'll fotch 'em," she said, as she
came back into the room.
In few minutes the old lady, with
her home-spun skirts gathered up and
tied around her waist with string.
came in, her rough hands full of mud
and tired look on her care-worn face.
"Howdy, Dick, and you too stranger?"
The dinner! tied hard to eat, but
wild visions of human soap factories
fitted before my agonized mental eyes
and could not swallow to save me.
| However, the others all ate with SEEM

The spread consisted of great gobs

boiled long-leaf collards, syrup, black
coffee without sugar and corn bread.

SUCCESSFUL SwlNDLE.

How Residents of San Francisco Were
Worked for Doodle by Gang of
Sharpers.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 20.-The Seattle
and Northern Coal Company, which
opened extensive offices here last month,
has vanished and an investigation
shows successful swindle has been
perpetrated. The company was organ
ized in Seattle about three months ago
with capital of $500, 900. The busi-
ness was transacted here by man
nrmed Ayres, who issued circular Of
fering to sell coal, to be delivered after
February l. at froan S7.25 to SS.25 per
ton. AS Seattle coal was selling at the
time for from S14 to SIG a ton, the ad-
vertisement was very attractive.
The circular advertised to sell only q
limited amount of coal and only then on
condition that the purchaser would buy
one share of the stock of the company,
valued at five dollars, for each ton of coal
ordered. The stock was to be taken back
by the company at par value in payment
for the coal. Canvassers were employed
and large business was done. A. L.
Brunbrook was announced as the presi-
dent; A. c. MacAuley, vice president;
Ayre Chaplin, treasurer; E. Willard, Sec
rotary, and NJ. MacAuley assistant Sec
retary. MacAuley and Brunbrook came
here for few days. On December Is
the whole outfit disappeared and moth
ing has since been heard from them.

member, a box of cigars was brought
by order of moderately well-to-do
member of the board. The box was
passed to Mr.. Sage, who mechanically
took out a cigar. Holding it to his nose
he exclaimed: "Ah, that has a fine
havor. What do you pay for these
cigars Mr.. -"
''Only twenty dollars a box, twenty
cents piece" was the reply.
"What?" cried the frugal Russell in a
tone of intense disapproval, twenty
cents for a cigar! That is too steep for
me. can not afford such an expensive
luxury"
And Mr.. Sage walked over to the

placed and took a couple more of the
cigars and put them in his pocket

DOOMED WORKMEN.
Five Iron Workers Horribly
Burned at Trenton, N. j.
Water Thrown Upon Huge Mass of
Molten Metal Results in an
~ Explosion.

The Unfortunates Were Thrown to the
Ground, Being Covered with the Most
Terrible and Agonizing Wounds.
TRENTON, ~ j.. Dec. 23.-About two
o'clock Monday afternoon an explosion
occurred at the New Jersey steel and
iron works, fatally injuring five men.
A large mass of molten metal, known
as "cinder," had been taken from one
of the furnaces to undergo the process
of cooling. This is done by dashing
buckets of water upon it after 1t has
been exposed to the air long enough to
somewhat abate the white heat at which
it emerges from tho furnaces.
The man in charge of the furnace de-
termines the proper time to apply the
water and the men in readiness with
the buckets are required to follow his
orders. Yesterday one of the helpers,
Michael Fuda, without waiting for the
signal threw his bucket of water upon
the ''cinder" almost as soon as it was
taken from the furnace. AS the water
struck the huge mass the intensely
heated metal exploded with deafening
report hurling in all directions large
pieces of iron, some of them weighing
companions who were standing around
the "cinder" were thrown to the ground,
covered with horrible wounds, their
clothing and flesh burning and emitting
a sickening odor.
Fuda, who stood a few feet nearer to
the cinder than the others, had his eyes
burned completely out. In the back OF
his neck was burned large hole and
several holes were burned in his body.
Jacob Kress had his clothing almost en-
tirely burned off and was terribly burned
and mangled about the body and limbs.
George Sintall had the flesh burned or
many parts of his body, exposing the
bones. Michael Soperip had horrible
cash cut in his abdomen by flying
piece of hot iron and his burns are so
severe that the physicians have no
hopes of his recovery. Michael Gosul-
sas' burns were so numerous and seri-
Gus as to render him almost beyond
recognition. The injured men were re-
moved to the hospital
Late last evening they were all in a
critical condition and the chances of re-
covery of any of them are small. The
rail mill, the scene of the explosion,
presented a horrible sight. Great chunks
of flesh dropped from the bones of the
mangled and roasted men, filling the
air with a sitting odor, while the sur
roundings bore hundreds of traces OF
the force of the flying pieces of metal.
The escape of the five men from in
slant death and of others in the mill
from injury is miraculous

All unknown TO the clever and philo-
sophical rat thel" is little battery on
o shelf in tht cellar, and two wires run
from 1t to The cap-. The positive wire
enters tho cage and Is the one which
the fragrant, flesh cneese is on. The
negative wire connects with the zinc
floor which forms the bottom of the de-
ceptive cage.
The rat walks boldly up to the
cheese and says: "I have been lodging
q cat all morning, and. CAD, cooks, but
I'm hungry. l guess I'll try little Of
the cheese"
The rat, who was fat and Jolly, took
the cheese in his month. His teeth
touched the wire. The moment ne did
so he completed the circuit between the
wire and the zinc floor. Fifty volts of
continuous current went dancing
through him at the rate of thousand
miles second.
His toes turned up. His tail waved in
the air and twisted itself into forty
seven inexplicable knots. He dropped
down as dead as door nail-and the
cheese still hung on the nail. The res
taurant was still open for business as
usual
A rat who had come along like dep
uty coroner, just in time to see the
close of the tragedy, said: What a
hebetudinous crank that rat was! The

Gently held a large convention and pro-
tested against electrical execution. All

The new Omaha rat-trap is merely
the electrical mo6e of execution applied
to rats. Each rat that wanders in and
nibbles the cheese becomes link IN
the electric circuit and dies in the
same way that Kemmler died.
The principle being simple one and
easy of application, it may ultimately
be applied in the killing OF cattle and
pigs in the stock yards. A four hun

pen, start to eat an ear of corn which
hides an electric wire, drop down, curl
up his tail and die.

SITTING BULLS DEATH.

re Il Now Claimed He was Murdered In
Cold Blood by tho Indian Police-A
Skirmlsh With the Reds without Def
inits Results.
BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 20.-It is now
claimed that Sitting Bull was murdered
in cold blood. Corporal Gum, OF the
Eighth cavalry, who was with the troops
that went out in support of the Indian
police, says that the Indian police did
not like Sitting Bull. Every Indian at
the agency, except Bulls immediate
followers, was jealous of the latter'a
prominence as a chief and only too glad
of an opportunity being afforded under
Government protection to shoot BIN
dead.
Corporal Gum says; "LieutensMt
Bullhead, of the Indian police, went to
Sitting Bulls house, opened the door
and commenced reading the warrant for
his arrest. Sitting Bull and his two
sons, one a lad of twelve, were the only
persons in the shack. He carried arms
like all Indians. The boy came to the
door and gave cry OF alarm on seeing
the house surrounded by police. He no
sooner cried out than Bullhead, without
a moments hesitation and before any
resistance was offered fred at Sitting
Bull, the ball piercing his breast imme-
diately over the left nipple. AS he was
staggering he managed to draw his re-
volver and fire one shot while falling,
the bullet lodging in Bullhead's thigh.
Sitting Bull fell about six feet away
from the door. His h horse was standing
near the house, and Red Tomahawk
jumped upon it and fl ew to the troops
with the news that Sitting Bull was
killed.
Grow Foot, the boy, was next killed
and he fell across the body of his father.
Tho combat was then hand to hand,
Sitting Bulls enraged followers rising
up from the brush like magic. But few
shots were fired. Guns were clubbed.
The stocks were shattered to splinters
and the barrels badly bent. The Indian
police soon found themselves handi-
capped and sought refuge in Bulls de-
serted shack, leaving outside four of
their own dead and nine of the hostiles,
including the old chief. Shortly after
the troops appeared on tho scene an1
the hostiles hastily retreated."
CAMP ON CHEYENNE RIVER, S. D., Dec.
20.-Thursday afternoon soldier re-
ported to General Carr that Captain
Stanton and about fifty soldiers were
having an engagement with Indians
near Wounded Knee. General Carr sent
Lieutenant Scott and Troop d to his as
sistance. Some time later Captain
Stanton and the troops returned, when
it was learned that some time after
noon he noticed large party of Indians
with herd of ponies coming from the
east and heading for the Bad Lands. He
Immediately gave chase, and after run
ming some miles gradually drew near
the Indians, who began firing at the
troops. Shots were exchanged quite
lively for some time, when the Indians
made for creek called Wounded Knee.
This they followed for some distance
and were lost to view in the Bad Lands.
Captain Stanton followed them for some
time, but fearing an ambush withdrew
his troops. Most of the Indian ponies
were stampeded during the firing.
