CHAPTER xI.

Whom Percy arrived at Buenos Ayres he did not rush with precipitate haste to Emerick & Co.'S office; he took up his quarters at quiet English hotel and then went systematically to work to find out what he could about MT. Emerick. There was little to be learned, however, for all he could hear was that Emerick lived in quiet se- clusion in 8 handsome modern resi- dence lying to the north of the town, which had been previously occupied by Mir. Howe, his partner, and family. When not at business Emerick was re- ported to spend his time at this house, where he would sometimes entertain @ few friends, particularly some Spanish gentlemen, who, strange to say, were not admitted to the better society of Buenos Ayres. To these guests of Emerick's the houses of the civil au- thorities were not open, neither did any of tho numerous wealthy foreign residents invite them to their tables. Yet 1t was no uncommon thing for them to spend the evening and greater part of tho night at Mir. Emerick's house, and one of the servants had once told confidential friend outside that thSsr amusement consisted almost en- | tirSy of playing cards, drinking wine and smoking. Yet MT. Emerick was exceedingly strict in his attendance to business and was regularly seen at his desk in the office of Emerick x Co., in largo four-story modern business block situated near to the custom house. Only very seldom did the mer- chant appear at the theater. Occasion l ally he could be seen at an Anglo German concert hall, but not often, and then he was usually alone and would drink his wine in Q little private box and go quietly home.
 That night after his arrival at Buenos l Ayres, our friend Lovel casually made up his mind to drop into the place for an hour. He was quite alone and, sit ting at side table partially hidden by some trees, he could without undue effort sec all that was going on yet not attract particular attention to him. self.
 He had been seated there about aa hour when, happening 10 look up, his eyes rested upon the familiar form of Mir. Emerick standing up in one of the boxes. He was just arranging his chair so that he could sit behind the curtains and not be visible to the audience but Lovel noticed that he was alone and had single bottle of wine before him.

was that as they each sat in the parlor warming their toc5 over register pre- vious to retiring, Percy declared his passion. It was oNl; the old story told perhaps with slight variation, but be- fore he had finished Mir. Wilcox, who had heard their voices, came down to have parting word. 1t was past his usual time for retiring, but he had waited to see tho ploasuro-seekers re- turn as he knew they would not remain very late and cen now 1t was only a little after one o'clock. IIo camc down. stairs almost Loiselcssly and as he reached tho dooY of tine parlor he no;iced Percy bending very closely over Armida engaged in earnest conversation. Tho old fellow was angry with himself for interrupting so interesting speae, but having entered he could not at once withdraw. "Ah," ho thought, "this is encouraging"
 Armida soon retired and left Air. Wilcox and Percy to have a talk before going to bed Pcrcy did not tell MT. Wilcox what happened and dcsultory conversation relative to Percy's de- parture was indulgcd in and they scpa- rated for the night.
 Alas, how easily things go wrong A word left out or a sigh too long The bright sun chased away by the rain And life is never the same again."
 How near, that night, Percy was to winning Armida for his wife will never be known. That was his last chance to be alone with her for many long day "a chance spoiled quite inadvertently by the last man who would have wished to do such a thing.
 Two days later he was on his way to South Amaricn

Dered by turfmen in this country, and should
Mr.. Haggin's colt defeat Tenuy again on
Wednesday next in their match for 5000 a
side, the chestnut son of Prince Charlie will
have achieved sufficient distinction to
make his name historical, particularly
as il is his owners intention to
retire from the turf sound at the end of the
present year. But no rubber ball is more elas-
tic than the sturdy Tenny. and there are plenty
of trainers at Sheepshead Bay who say that he
will carry their dollars on Wednesday. Snip
Donovan, who trains Tenny and knows what
he is talking about, says that Salvador must run
in 2:O5 or a second and a half better than the
record. to beat his colt.
The match Is bound to be a duel to the death,
and the record for q mile and q quarter will
most assuredly be smashed IL the track is in
frst-class condition. 1t was said at the track
to-day that Garrison. the jockey, and Prof
Loisette each have slice of the 5000 stake,

will outrun the big colt in the final quarter, or

make the race for the amount Of money there
is in it. He simply wants to see whether Sal
vator is better colt than Tenny, and should
Salvador win on Wednesday he will be the first
to congratulate Mr.. Haggin. Salvador is in the

A FIGHT WITH CHURCHMEN.
AN ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY ENcoUN.
TER SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES.

The ParIshioners of a Catholic Church OBJ
iect to Poles Being Placed in Front of
Their Edifce-nore Trouble Expected.
SARATOGA, June 22.-Yesterday after
noon there was row at Scbuylerville be-
tween gang of electric light company men
and the parishioners of the Church of Visi-
tation, Catholic, the latter insisting that the
workmen should not set poles in front of the
church.
As fast as holes were dug. the church peo-
pie filled them up. The row ensued, but
no one was fatally injured, though missiles
few in q shower. Sheriff Deyoe appeared
and ordered the rioters tn desist. They re-
fused, and scufie ensued be-
tween the sheriff, imported officers
and the crowd. Sheriff Deyoe, after
arresting one man telephoned to Captain
McEwen, of the Twenty-second Separate
Company, National Guard of Saratoga,
that the services of the military were needed
at once. Shortly after the company, 66 men
strong, were under arms, but were notified
about $50 that things were quieter and that
they would not be needed that night.
The situation to-day is quiet, although
100 men with pistols and other arms guarded
their church all night and day. Father
Hefernan, Of the church, this morning
urged his hearers to stand up for their rights
like men. 1t is understood that both sides
are ready for a fracas Monday morning, and
should the trouble be reopened it is likely
the military will be called out to sup
press it.

Both Men Training Faithfully for Their
Championship Battle.


NEW YORK, June 22-George w. Atkinson,
in letter received at the Police Gazette Office
yesterday writes: THE international battle
between George Dixon, the colored pugilist, of
Boston, and Nunc Wallace, OF Birmingham, the
bantam champion Of the world, is creating un-
usual excitement. The men are to fght accord

ANEW ORDER FORMED
By Railway Conductors Who Are
Firmly Opposed to Strikes.
FIFTY DIVISIONS IN THE SCHEME.
Two Thousand Men Already Identified With
the Organization.
WHEATON SELECTED As THE LEADER

ESPECIAL TBLKGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
NEW YORK, June 22.-The fight that has
been going on in the ranks of the Order OF
Railway Conductors eliminated to-day with
the establishment Of a new organization
called the Independent Order of Railway
Conductors. The seceders who formed it
met at the Coleman House in this city, and
more than 30 divisions were represented.
1t will be recalled that at the May con-
vention of the Order of Railway Conductors
in Rochester IS delegates stood out against
the abolition of the 'non-strike" clause In
the constitution. There was hot time in
the convention, but a majority OF over 2O0
decided in favor of strikes and a committee
was appointed to consider the practicability
of federating with the otter railroad organ
izations.
OPPOSED TO STRIKES.
The opponents of strikes distinguished
themselves by donning badges, consisting of
blue ribbons with this inscription in gilt
letters: "65-True Blue-Never." When
they lost the day several of them telegraphed
home advising their divisions to forfeit
their charters Immediately. The divisions
that did so have had a world of trouble
since. The members have quarreled with
one another and the divisions themselves are
split up.
The Order of Railway Conductors had
membership Of about 5000 uD to the last
convention. The secessionists who Will
join the new Independent Order Of Railway
Conductors number about 2, 900, and they ex-
delegates present to-day at the Coleman
House. c. S. Wheaton, who was Grand
Chief Conductor of the old order for many
terms, was elected chief of the new associa-
ton. He had refused reelection at Rochester
because he was opposed to strikes.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
The simple clause which caused all the
trouble was this. 1t was struck out of the
old ritual of the Independent Order of Rail-
way Conductors to-day: 81 will not
engage in any strike of railway en-
ployes while I am member of
the order" The new constitution
does not differ much otherwise from
that of the old order. A committee was ap-
pointed to look into a new scheme Of insur-
ance. Fears have been expressed by many
of the seceders that they would lose their
insurance membership by virtue of with
drawing from the order of railway conduc-
tors or by forfeiting their charters.
These were some OF the prominent divis-
ions represented to-day: St. Albans, Port
land, Providence, Worcester, Montreal,
Toronto, St. Johns, N. B., New York, en-
bracing New York Central and Long
Island railroad men, Hoboken, Jersey
City, from the Pennsylvania and
West Shore roads, New Haven,
Hartford, Springfield, Bellows Falls, Fitch
burg, Birmingham, Philadelphia and Ell
mira. Some we're represented by proxy.
ALL subscribed to the new constitution and
decided to bolt the old association.

DUNBAR, June 22.-Some Of the afflicted

Workman Kerfoot aud Peter Wise, as lead
ing representatives of the knights of Labor,
are at the head of the movement. DR.. M.

out:
To the Citizens Of Pittsburg and Vicinity:
We, the undersigned committee Of the K.
of L., and the citizens of Dunbar, request
financial assistance for the families Of the en-
tombed miners Of the Hill Farm:mine. Many
of the people here are destitute. Five hundred
people need immediate assistance. Each Of

contributions and forward them to the treas
urer of our committee. The cause IS worthy
and we want you to help us. All contributions
should be sent to the papers or to the Treasurer,
G. NJ. Parker, Scottdale. Pa.
the leaders of the subscription fund are
hopeful that the outside world will contrib
ute literally. The miners have already sub
scribed 81, 900, and they feel that they have
done as much as they can do at present. 1t
is true the sufferers from the disaster are In
no immediate danger from want. They
are supplied with all the necessaries OF
life, but the time is coming when
The world at large will forget about the
Dunbar horror, and then it is that the
struggling widows, with large families to
support, will feel the grinding pinch of pov-
erty. Many of the entombed miners have
left a number of small children who cannot
take care of themselves. Messrs. Kerfoot
and Wise and DIR. McMullen promise to be
responsible for all funds contributed, and
will see that it is fairly distributed.
