FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

The bonds are free from State tax,
and are coupon bonds, payable to
bearer, and are in denominations of 500 and
$780, bear date May l, 1891, redecmable after
five years at the option OF the
city, but absolutely in thirty years
from date; the coupons are paya-
Bile semiannually, May and November !.
The bidder will state the amount he bids for
and the premium he will pay for bonds, and
the award will be made to the best bidder.
The city has no bonded debt now; there is
a debt of about $4,000 existing of the Bor-
oughs forming the city, all of which will be
speedily paid by special tax levied. The
last assessment, at less than one half OF the
actual cash value, is s., ,3SO, ,s33. The successful
bidder will be required TO pay the difference
in interest between May and date of issue.
This is a first-class investment as the City
OF Johnstown will pay interest out of spe-
c1al tax levied to cover the same, and the
principal is amply secured by all the real
estate within the city limits. Right to re-
ject any OF all bids reserved.

This was day Of surprises to the
minister's friends. In the morning he
had astonshed those who had known
him for years by his display of oratory;
tonight he literally paralyzed Miss
Ruth, whose tongue heretofore had
been accustomed to wag in perfect 1ln.
restraint, by a sudden assumption Of
authority.

Then presently the lights were ex-
tinguished in the parsons home and APP
parent rest settled over the household.
But did Mrs. Besant, in her fine brick
house beyond the walnut grove, sleep
that night? Not much, you may be
sure. But wakeful as the midnight
hours were to her, she fell into fever
ish slumber towards morning, only
arousing to find the sun streaming into
her easement.
With hurrying footsteps she sought
her boys chamber, hoping against hope
that in the lone hours OF the night he
had changed his mind and was not
after all going to leave her.
One peep into the bright little bee room
and the fearful truth burst upon her.
Her boy was gone.

novelists, small, soft hand, a low,
musical voice and an utter unconscious
ness of her own undeniable prettiness
in fact, sweet, strong, pure-minded
girl, just blossoming into a promising
womanhood. Grace was the old mans
grandchild, the orphan daughter of his
only son, who had died with his young
wife ten years ago.
The Sabbath-day's work was over, and
the minister was on the point OF retiring
to his well-earned rest, when sharp
ring at the front-door bell announced a
late visitor.
"Bless my life,' said the cid parson,
''who can be coming here at this time
of night? Shouldn't wonder if Dea~
con Spencer's taken worse, and III
have to drive out to his place. and the
mares cast shoe, and
But by this time Grace had opened
the door and admitted a lady.
Goodness gracious, Mary Besa11t!''
Miss Ruth calculated, holding up her
mittened hands in an ecstacy Of SUR
prise "What in the name Of wonder
has brought you out Of doors in the
dead of niglt?''
1t was barely ten o'clock by the Con-
necticut ti1ne-piece which licked over
the 1nantel-piece, but it was ''the dead
of night to the village of Meltonburg,
whose silent streets at this hour showed
never a light, save when in some cot
tage window where sickness was, a
lone lamp cleaned like a solitary star.
The visitor was d. handsome woman of
forty years, who carried her age SO we'll
that she might have passed for a decade
younger: notwithstanding her tear
stained cheeks.
She ignored Grace's caressing greet
ing and Miss Ruth's inquiry, and turned
the battery of remonstrant eyes On the
minister, who stood 'ncomfortaloly ex~
pectant
Then, with a world of rep1oacl in her
accents, she said:
'sYou have done your work we'll, sir
my Frank, my boy, is going to- enlist
He has told me the bitter truth Tonight
I have gone down ON my knees before
him and prayed him not to leave me;
but he is obdurate.''
The minister was speechless. Even
the consciousness Of having simply
done his duty was unbalanced by the
infinite pity he felt for the unhappy
mother; but Ruth was actuated by no
such delicate sentiments, and, with a
sniff of defiance, boldly advanced to her
brothers rescue.
"Hoity -toity!" size said. 'tHere's a

Minister Phelps Is Still Hopeful of Hav-

from American Pork.

BERLIN. March 1S.-Owing to the un-
tiring efforts OF Mr.. Phelps, United
States minister here, Chancellor Won
Caprivi has removed the embargo placed
on American cattle landed at Hamburg,
and it is likely Phelps will be able to
placed upon American hogs. Already
800 American beeves have been landed
at Hamburg, as an expedient. Phelps
at series of dinners which he has given
at his residence, here. has given his
guests American beef and has thus
introduced it's use in the families OF
many distinguished families of fashion
able circles of Berlin. The Hamburg
local officials are making costly perma-
nent improvements in the landing facil-
tiles now at the disposal of importers of
American cattle. The object of the
Hamburg officials in making the
improvements referred to is to
encourage and develop trade in
American cattle. Chancellor Won
Caprivi is now considering point
made by Minister Phelps, who asks that
American hogs be allowed to land in
the same manner and under the same
inspection as American cattle. The in
terview with Secretary Rusk, of the
United States department. Of agriculture,
in which he is quoted as saying the

mands the repeal of the hog restric-
tions," is largely quoted in the hostile

grants, shrieking with terror. Right
and left of the sinking vessel were the
monster battle ships Rodney and
Anson, pouring the light of their power
ful electric ,efiectors upon the disabled
steamship. Here and there were the
warshirs' small boats. manned by blue
jackets who strained every nerve as they
bent to the oars in the heavy sea, striv-
ing CALAMITY to reach the drowning
passengers. The rescued passengers
were cared for on the war ships or taken
ashore and housed in the government
buildings.
STRUCK ABAFT THE ENGINE ROOM.
LONDON, March 1S.--The agents in this
city of the Anchor line, to which the
Utopia belonged, have been informed
that the Utopia was struck abaft the
engine room, and that she sank stern
foremost five minutes after the collision
in seven fathoms of water. The agents
announce that they find it difficult to
ascertain the exact number OF lives lost,
but they say that 130 Italians were
saved; that eight bodies have been
washed ashore, and that there are 173
persons rescued from the Utopia alive
on board the British war ships. The
agents add that the force of the gale,
which still prevails in Gibraltar bay,
prevents the people on shore from COM
municating satisfactorily with the COM
manders Of the war ships, so they are
unable to ascertain the names OF the
survivors. Several boats belonging to
the feet were wrecked while engaged in
the rescue.
Two-THIRDs OF THE PASSENGERS DROWNED.
WASHINGTON, March 1S.-A telegram
received at the department of state this
morning from United States Consul
Sprague, at Gibralter, announces the
sinking Of the Italian emigrant steamer
Utopia, and expresses fear that two
thirds OF the passengers were drowned
William T. Colburn, of New York, was
among the passengers saved.
CONSIDERATION IN THE ITALIAN COLONY
NEW YORK, March 1S.-The news oi
the disaster to the Utopia off Gibraltar
caused great commotion in the Italian
colony here. About 1000 Italians gath
cred about the door of the information
bureau at the barge Office, and great
difficulty was experienced by the police
in keeping the crowd in check.

The Action of the New Orleans vigilantes

LONDON, March 1S.-The Times in an
editorial on the New Orleans tragedy
says: ''It is all very we'll to reprobate
the resort to violence, but in such cir
cumstances as these, what way is there
for emancipating community from in
tolerable tyranny excepting by resort to
violence? The law requires trial by
jury, and trial by jury has been reduced
to farce by the knowledge possessed
by every juryman that if he convicts a
member of the Malta his life is not
worth a weeks purchase. 1t is really a
misuse of the language to speak of the re-
sort to violence as the standing rule in
New Orleans. All Parkerson and his
followers have done is to accept the con-
ditions prescribed by the Malta. All
law rests ultimately upon force, and
when the courts are dominated by the
criminals whom they exist to punish,
first principles to effect their deliver
ance. Let lawless violence be aban-
dcned by all means, but que
Among the men who were lynched there
may have been some who did not actu-
ally fire at Hennessy, and it is not pre-
tended that there were any who were
not members of the detestable society
that desired his death. That being the
case, it is impossible to feel any very
acute distress, because in the midst OF
the violence they had rendered indis-
pensable they have been somewhat
more severely punished than if they had
been leniently dealt with"

that Mayor Valduvieso, OF that city, has
gone oyer to the insurgents, after win
ming over to their cause the garrison,
which deserted the fort after spiking the
guns. The ex-government troops then

this the mayor and garrison embarked
ON board the transport and steamed
northward to join the insurgents. This
is tremendous blow to President Bal
