The Old Warriordid not Flinc..,

The Old Warriordid not Flinc...
The death of Lord Napier of Mag.
dala recalls story told in India OF,
the old soldiers nerve. The Sikh
warriors were remarkably dexterous
swordsmen, and Lord Napier had
heard that one of their tricks was to
sever an apple on q mans outstretch-
ed hand with sabre stroke, divid.
Ing the fruit into two equally pro-
portioned pieces so clearly that each
section dropped singly to the ground
without scratching the skin of the
pulm on which they had rested.
Lord Napier did not quite believe
this. He thought the soldier making
the offer to perform the feat relied
upon the person to whom it was
made declining to hold the apple.
and that he would be prepared to
make some excuse if his proposition
was accepted. Accordingly, when a
dusky trooper invited him topresent
the apple on his hand and witness
the experiment. he promptly agreed.
The Sikh, confident ofhis own Prov
ess, did not falter. but looking close
ly ut the Generals right palm as it
was extended he observed slight
irregularity of the surface, and sug-
gested that the left hand be used.
Lord Napier afterward said that
for the first time in his life he was
conscious OF the sensation of fear, as
he realized that the soldier was in
dead earnest; but, firm as the rock
OF Gibraltar, the left hand with the
apple upon it was presented. The
sword flashed down and the fruit,
parted in two equal segments, fell to
the earth, and the General felt some
thing strike his palm as lightly as
though hair had been broken
across it. The keen edge of theIblade
had touched the skin without cut
ting it. The slightest tremor might
have resulted seriously to England's
great chief.-New York Tribune.

at l:5O O'Clock. He walked erect up the
transept, showing no signs Of his illness,
and took a seat near the altar.
Count d'Aroche, representative Of King
Leopold of Belgium, and the groom's best
Tenant and DIR. Park, A. NJ. Jephson,
Capt Nelson and Lieuts. Stairs and Bonny,
who were with MIR. Stanley on his last ex-
pedition into Africa, grouped themselves
around Mr.. Stanley.
ARRIVAL OF THE BRIDE.
Five minutes later:Miss Tenant. accom-
panied by her brother. Charles Coombe
Tennant. entered the abbey. While NOV
ing towards the altar the bride stopped
and broke the line OF the procession and
walked slowly to the tablet under which
lies the dust or Livingstone and placed
there oIa wreath Of white flowers, in the CEN
ter of which was the scarlet letter IL u
Then, resuming her place, she walked to the
altar with her head erect and flushed cheeks.
Mr.. Stanley rose to receive her, and both
took their places at the altar.
The service was begun by Canon Farrar,
and was taken up by the Bishop of Ripon
on the plighting Of the troth. Then fol-
lowed full choral service. after which DR..
Butoer made an address of congratula tion,
and the ceremony was concluded by the
rendering of the marriage hymn.
sTANLEY's VOICE FALTERED.
Mr.. Stanley's voice was almost inaudible
as he repeated the service, but Miss Ten

tered as she repeated the words Sin sickness
and in health"

The Loss of Life by the First Probably
Twenty-A Second Follows.
CHICAGO, July 12.-To-night another
terrific explosion occurred on the big
freight steamer Tioga, that was wrecked
last evening by an unexplained conclusion
in the hold. Fire again broke out, and for
q few moments it seemed as if the
vessel and cargo worth $3.50, 90
was doomed. The timely presence of
engines, however, soon put different face
on the matter and the fire was soon under
control. Unlike last nights explosion, to-
nights produced no loss of life and only
two persons were injured. The second
disaster puts out of the question all attempts
to learn to certainty the number of vic
Tins in the first explosion.
THIRTEEN coRPsEs.
Up to tonight thirteen-bur and man
gled corpses had been taken from the hold,
and one of the wounded in the county hos.
pital had died.
Conservative estimates put the probable
fatalities at twenty. What caused the ex-
plosions was late to night still disputed
question. One theory was that a great sup
ply of explosive vapor had gathered IN the
hold.
This afternoon a corouer's jury was i'm
paneled, which, after viewing the wreck,
adjourned till next Thursday.
This was Capt. Phelps first trip on the
vessel and there are rumors that all was not
pleasant among his subordinates and crew.
There is vague talk of spite work cutting a
figure in the terrible affair, but such gossip
seemed impossible of verification.
The two men injured tonight were two
of the wrecking crew, Hans Christian and
Thomas johnson. They went below with a
lantern to look at the suction pipe, which
had become clogged. Both men were taken
out alive. but seriously burned and bruised.

a PITCHED BATTLE IN TEXAS.
Rival Factions Fighting to Control
Ysleta.

DENVER. July IA telegram received
by the Nei0s from Ysleta, Tex, says: "a
pitched battle was fought here yesterday
between two local factions, both of which
claim control of the town government.
They held an election in April and each side
claimed the election. Both sets of officials
we're sworn in. and the town has had two
governments ever since. One party. led by
an intelligent Mexican, was called the
Peoples party. The other was led by
Hebrew named Gaal, and called the Repub-
lican party. Several fights have taken
place, and it has been expected that the
trouble would eliminate in a bloody con-
fict, which took place last night.
A SURRENDER AT DAYLIGHT.
"The fight terminated In peaceful sur
render at daylight TO the sheriff's posse.
Gaal, who resisted arrest. cannot be found.
Sixteen men have been arrested and
brought here to the county jail
Zone man was killed, Mexican of
Mayor Aldorette's posse, who tried to arrest
Gaal. Another has a slight wound in the
head.
Twenty-Five Winchesters and pistols
were seized and brought here because no
Ysleta merchant was willing to store them.
'No further trouble is anticipated by the
sheriff.
HOW THE TROUBLE ORIGINATED.
''lt is learned that the trouble originated
in this way: Benigno Alderette mayor of
Ysleta, has charge Of an irrigating ditch,
and had c1uple of men cleaning it out,
when Gaal sent posse of armed men to
drive Mayor Alderette's men from
their work. Gaal claiming that he
was mayor, and put his own men
to work and refused to discontinue when
ordered by Mayor Alderette to do so. The
mayor then secured warrant for the arrest
of Gaal, intending to place him under a
peace bond and deter him from further in
reference with Acequia. Gaal summoned
his armed followers around HIM and refused
to be arrested. and the fight followed"

ARBITRATION IN IREL AND.

Parnelrs Plan of Settling the Disputes
over Land.
LONDON, July 12.-During his remarks in
the House of Commons last night Mr.. Par
nell proposed measure prov ding for the
appointment Of board of arbitration for
the settlement of disputes between land
lords and tenants in Ireland. Such a
measure, he said, could be quickly passed.
and the board could mako inquiries and
effect an equitable settlement in the cases
of the tenants on the thirteen or fourteen
estates where the plan of campaign is still
In operation.
The Chronicle says that the logical out
come OF Mr.. Parnell's suggestion would be
the creation Of a municipal tenantry with
fixing of their tenure of land for life
The Times says that the tenants refused
to be bound by Sir Charles Russell's arbi-
tration and, asks if they would show more
respect for board Of arbitration created
by parliament
Tne Standard says it's pretty clear that
Mr.. Parnells remarks were offered as the
basis for & compromise. Secretary Balfour,
the paper says, appeared to be inclined to
take the same view.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Ex-Senator
Mahone's address to the country was like all
his political MISUNDERSTANDING. He
means to run candidates for congress when
ever he thinks he can elect. One of his

the whole thing away to-day by saying that
the published address was issued in the
shape it took purely as matter of policy"
"As a matter of fact the overwhelming
majority against Gen. Malone last fall was
largely from inactivity and indifference, if
not disgust, within our own party at the
treatment of the Republican party in
Virginia and the south. Some
pretty vigorous language was used
at the meeting by Gen. Malone
and Others, can tell you, concerning the
attitude of the administration toward the
Virginia republicans, and they came to the
conclusion it was useless to spend any more
money that way, when the cold shoulder is
so emphatically manifested. The announce
ment in regard to fraud at elections is
merely secondary, and promulgated be-
cause we did not care to appear in open

remonstrance from Emperor William. The
refusal of the ex-chancellor to accept the
candidature offered him for seat in the
