AN AccuRsED HEAP.
The Ruin of the Dread Inquisition of Goa,
India.

The Ruin of the Dread Inquisition of Goa,
| India.
The interior of the edifice of the no.
torious Inquisition of Goa has been
often described by the old travellers, to
| whose works in Collection of Voy-
ages" we must refer the reader. Sufi-
cient it will be to mention that the
building now RACED to the ground COW
cred a space of two acres, contained
three large halls, and 200 prisoners
cells above and under the basement,
and was girded by walls of immense
thickness.
At once the palace and the prison of
the Inquisition, it was the pride and
terror of the people of Goa. Suddenly
and silently would the black-robed
myrmidons of the establishment appear
in any house in the city, touch the ac-
cused upon the shoulder, and bid him
follow them. No matter how popular
the victim had been, not one hand would
be raised in his defense as he was hur-
ried through the busy streets within
the remorseless doors of the ''holy
Office" At Goa large majority of the
Hindoo population had embraced Chris
tianity, but they would often revert to
the practice in secret of occult rites.
Such acts were regarded as sorcery and
magic in those days, and if the native
had been baptized he could rarely es-
cape the stake as punishment for lapse
into these practices.
To this day the few Hindoos who dwell
at Old Goa speak with bated breath as
they point to the stony heap where
stood the Inquisition. There, they
tell you, stood Orlem ghor, the "Great
House." Many autos-de-fe were held
held here in the last century. The last
auto-de-fe which took place was in Feb
ruary, ITS; but the number of persons
condemneds and those, if any, who were
burned, does not seem to have been re-
corded. In the year 1900 the number
of prisoners was forty-seven. By a
royal decree from Portugal, dated
| May 81, 1914, the Holy Inquisition
| was forever abolished. The build
ing was then shut up and ADAM
doned to decay and ruin, which, indeed,
for "a long time previously had been
actively going on. In 1920 large por-
ton was pulled down, and of the re-
mainder the Able Cottineau, who WIS.,
tied Goa in 1927, says: 1.-THE whole is
now fast decaying, no doors or window
shutters existing. Shrubs, thorns and
rubbish block up the front entrance,
and the interior must be filled with
snakes and other reptiles"
| Finally, in 1929, a complete wreck of
the dread edifice was perpetrated by the
authorities, who required materials for
building operations at Panjim. The
whole place was pulled down and
left a hideous mound of debris
a sort of accursed heap in MEM
DRY of the deeds of barbarity so long
enacted within the hellish place. Fon-
SEGA, however, relates one stage furth-
er. In 1859, when the grand exposition
of St. Francis Xaviers remains was be-
ing prepared for, the greater part of
the stones, stucco and rubbish, was
carried away. And 10! the men who
were engaged on the heap discovered
steps going below to subterranean
vault or dungeon, and beneath this cell
lar, under heavy, boat-shaped piece of
lead, was found a human skeleton

TRAVELS OF A BULLET.

The Different Motions 1t Describes in It's
Flight.
An authority on shooting and gen.
tleman well informed on all matters of
detail pertaining to the bulls eye, gave
an Examiner reporter some interesting
information on the queer actions of
bullet after being discharged from the
muzzle of gun.
ga bullet he declared, ''sighted for
1000 yards has three separate and dis
tinct motions, and in cases where the
stubby and blunt express lead is used it
has four. The first is its velocity or
straight motion of journey; the second
is the rotary motion, caused by the bore
of the gun, which makes it plow through
the air; and the third is the trajectory
motion, or drift, attributable to the at
traction of gravity, which forces the
bullet sideways. When the express bull
let is used it follows line similar to
the edge of a corlzscrew. The latter is
ascribable to the extra friction on the
bottom of the ball, which is constantly
lowering.
81 had this illustrated by placing
sheets of paper. forty yards apart on a lev
ell and the course of the bullet could be
seen by collecting the papers and laying
them one over the other.
ga ball has large drop when travel
ing any great distance. For instance.
take 1000 yards. The bullet, if keeping
the course it originally started out
to follow, would land a distance Of
over 1925 feet above the bull's-eve.
But it starts to drop Immediately after
leaving the muzzle of the gun, and at
between $50 and 600 yards the ball is
over sixty feet above the line of the
bull's-eye, and considerable distance
below the line of sight. q At 200 yards it
has decreased in proportion and the aim
is only forty inches above the bulls
eye, but at 500 yards it is over sixteen
feet.
est takes about three seconds for a
ball to travel 1000 yards with an ordi-
nary charge of powder behind it. The
FIRST second it travels 1,500 feet. In the
next second it travels only three-quar-
tiers of that distance, and in the third
second it travels only one-half as much
as it did when leaving the muzzle.
ST made the claim here short time
ago that ball made more revolutions
that is, its rotary motion increased in
proportion to the distance it travelled
as it approached the target than it did
in the 100 yards immediately after leav-
ing the muzzle, and will explain. The
friction of the atmosphere does not
lessen the rotary motion as fast in pro-
portion to the distance it has travelled
as it does it's fight through the atmos-
phere, consequently, while in the last
100 yards the ball is only travelling at a
rate just one-haf of its original speed,
the rotary motion is just as great, and,
having more time, makes more revolu-
tions."-San Francisco Examiner.

HELEN LAKEMAN:
--oR, -
The Story of q Young Girls Strug-
gle With Adversely.

to repress her tears, for she felt this
discharge was on Warren's account.
"Do not go till morning, child, rain
is coming up"
"No, Mrs. Stuart, we will go on as
far rs we can tonight, and be that far
on our road in the morning."
"I'll have you sent in the wagon"
mo, thank you, the teams are
busy
Little Amos put on his little jacket
and hat, and then, with his crutches
under his little arms, stood ready to ac-
company his sister. 1t was slow
progress, indeed, they would make, and
Mrs. Stuart knew it would be hard for
Helen to lind Il place" for herself and
the crippled brother.
That good lady watched the hired
girl as she and the boy passed out of
the gate into the lane, and then went
into her bedroom to cry for having
done her duty in obeying Mrs. Arnold
and shipped that girl.
Little Amos hoped along on his
crutches without any complaint, for he
had learned to bear misfortunes with
out murmur. Great dark clouds
were rising in the western sky, and
there was every indication of one of
those thundcr-storms common to the
summer season.
Helen did not go in the direction of
Newton. Why should she, who knew
nothing of cities and towns, seek a
home there, exposed to their vices ?
The country had been her home and
she would seek none other. She turned
eastward, with her little brother feebly
hopping along at her side. She turned
down the lane. AS they were. passing
the pasture gate it opened, and Rose
Stuart, her cheeks wet with tears,
sprang out and threw her arms about
uelen's neck.

THEY STARTED DOWN THE ROAD.
"Oh! Helen, dear. good girl, do not
think 1 am to blame for this" she
sobbcd.
IL do not blame you, Rose" said
Helen, her own tears falling fast.
Forgive father and mother, they
have been talked to by the vilest SLAM
derers."
~ can forgive all as hope to be for
given" turning her large blue eyes
toward Heaven, as if she sought Divine
approval.
"Now she just looks like the angels
/ dreamed about" said little Amos,
who occupied his time, alternately, in
watching the almost angelic expression
on his sisters face and those threaten
ing clouds from which thunder occa-
sionally growlcd.
"Oh, Helen, we are going to have a
storm" said Rose, won't you come
back and stay until it is over?"
"No! no! Rose. thank you. we must
60 on, we will reach some shelter
hope before the rain begins to fall"
But oh. wish you would let me
help you. Here is five dollars my
father gave me to buy new summer
hat; will you not take itP''
"Oh, no! no! Rose, could not" said
Helen, drawing herself away, II dare
not accept charity while I am strong
and able to earn livelihood for myself
and brother. Farewell, Rose, we will
always remember you in love-"
Farewell, Helen, my dear, but will
you leave no word for brother War
renP"
Helen paused n moment, while look
of pain overspread her face, then,
struggling to keep back the tears, she
said:
mo! no! have been very wicked to
think so much about hint has caused
this trouble already"
Turning about she started down the
road, accompanied by the little cripple.
Rose stood and watched them as they
passed over the hill moving very
slowly, for little Amos was unable to
60 fast, and then she sobbed: "Oh,
God will father and mother ever be
forgiven for this wrongP"
Bursting into fresh flood of weep
ing. the kind-hearted Rose threw her
self down in fence corner, to be
aroused moment later by a thunder
peal which seemed to shake the earth
to its very center.

She knew it was Pete before he came
in sight around the lane with his large
pack on his back, and an oil cloth
spread over it to keep it dry. He
paused moment when he saw Helen
and her little brother and gazed at
them in wonder.
"Well, say, now, whatin the name O.
common sense are We dom out here in
the rain?" he stamMered, removing his
pipe from his mouth.
1--WE are going somewhere" Helen
answered.
Eye are, well where are you goinS P'
coming from the muddy lane to the
tree where they were standing.
81 don't know" Helen said, sadly,
1--WE are hunting a new situation"
"a new situation" and Pete
knocked the ashes from his pipe,
want the old one good enough? P"
Eyes, good enough for me, but was
not good enough for it, said Helen,
sadly.
"Oh yes, 1 understand now," said
Pete, removing his cap and scratching
his iron gray head, 81 can see through
it jist like it were five-cent calico. Umph!
Umph! They didEt tell We back to the
farm house why yo were discharged ?"
"No-except they did not want 6

"Well, perhaps they didn't; and SC
We don't know where yer goin'P"
"No SIR"
"Well, if yen come with me I'll see
that ye hev a nights lodgin'. I'm a
goin' to Mr.. Arnold's to stay all night,

"But Pete, do not want to go there.

and took away our home. Oh, never

The beheld the black cloud.
SISTER" little Amos painted, "don't
you think the Day Of Judgment is
comin'P"
mo, brother dear, only a heavy
thunderstorm"
Wild and angry darts of lightning
shot athwart the sky in almost every
direction and the thunder became in
cessant. Great drops of rain began to
,, fall, striking the road "spat-spat," and
sending the dust in little clouds with
each fall.
1--WE can't get nowhere, sister,"
pleaded little Amos, in despair.
"That large oak ut the side of the
lane will shelter u.s." cried Helen, seiz.
ing her brother in her arms.
The rain had now begun to fall in
torrents while the heavens were lurid
with lightning flashes followed by deaf
ening thunder peals.
Helen, bearing the boy, his crutches
and the heavy carpet-bag, ran the
gauntlet of fire-darting lightning to the
tree, where they were only partially
sheltered from the rain and in constant
peril from the lightning. A tree not
dozen rods away was shivered from its
branches to its roots, and both Helen
and the child so shocked they fell tc
the ground.
ooh! sister, we will be killed, we
will be killed." cried Amos.
Then we will go to Heaven, brother
dear" said the brave girl, smiling il
the midst of the storm, "you want to
go there, don't your"
"But don't want to go this way"
Don't be alarmed, little brother
God is near. He rides on the tempest
and can shield us from HARM"
"Oh! sister, pray for u.s."
! Helen prayed fervently for God tc
spare them-not only from the dangers
of this tempest, but from greater storme
of sin and temptation. The tree
afforded them but poor shelter, and
they were soon soaking wet. The
storm abated. The rain still fell
though not in such torrents, and it haG
grown considerably cooler after the
storm. Both Helen and the little Grip.
pie were shivering with cold.
at has almost stopped now, let us &C
on" said Helen.
"Where will we goP" asked the
trembling boy.
II do not know; we must not stay
here at the roadside, we must find &

II am ready, sister, to go anywhere
with you"
LET me carry you"
"NO! no! can walk"
"But see the road is muddy now from
the rain, and you can not go fast Oh

heard singing:
'Come all you darling ladies,

"AlthoughI come nearer,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 3I.-rbe CIsron-
icle will say editorially; The country
was treated to short-lived sensation
yesterday. A Washington newspaper
man, learning of the recall of Baron
Faya, the Italian minister to the United
States, magnified the affair into a case of
demanding passports and the news has
flashed all over the country that diplo-
matte relations with Italy had been
severed; but there will be no more war
with Italy; that country has other fish
to fry. Her internal affairs are suffi-
GENTLY complicated to entirely engross
the attention of her ablest statesmen and
whenever they show the slightest signs
OF Strengthening out, then Rudini and his
associates have their hands full keeping
up their relations with the triple alliance.
No European nation can afford to pre-
cipitate quarrel with the United States
but Italy least of all. The reasons why
she must patiently abide the result of
the investigation of the New Orleans
grand jury are too numerous to mention,
and perhaps they had better not be, for
the less said about them the less cause
will there be for irritation.
The Post this evening, commenting on
the news from Washington, says; "1taly
is bent on insult and there is but one
thing to do in return-fght.'
The Bulletin says: tThe popular
temper viii not brook any paltering with
the issue that has been raised.

WILL SAIL FOR CHILLI.
Admiral Brown Takes Charge of the
San Francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 81. This morn
ing ceremonies attending the transfer
ring of Admiral Browns flag from the
Charleston to the San Francisco took
place. The arrival of the admiral was
acknowledged by salute of nineteen
guns from the cruisers battery. This
change now makes the San Francisco
the flagship of the Pacific squadron and
the command of the Charleston passes
to Captain Reney. San Franciscans
VIII not have the same opportunity of
visiting the San Francisco on her arrival
here from the yard as was offered them
in the case of the Charleston In con-
versation with Admiral Brown it was
learned that the strict orders of the
navy department to proceed to Chill
immediately prevented the public from
being afforded the privilege of boarding
the cruiser. The short stay at this port
is only for the purpose of taking on adj
dltional stores; otherwise she would
proceed to sea without stopping here.
Admiral Brown has transferred his per-
sonal staff from the Charleston to the
ant, George /. Dyer; secretary, George
P. Blow; fleet engineer, Philip Inch:
fleet pay-master, Arthur Burtis fleet
marine officer, Captain Muse; fleet paw
clerk, Lieutenant Bowly; aid, Naval
Cadet AlonZo Gartley.
The Charleston will soon follow the
San Francisco to Chill. She put her
powder on Monday and is cooling today.
1t is believed she will go Monday next
and try the large eight FOUNDERS before
proceeding South. The Charleston's
armament is much more formidable than
the flaxskin's.

A Desperate Battle Between the Rioters
and Guards at Frick's Coke Works.
PfrrsBURe, April "A desperate bait
tie is reported between strikers and the
armed guards at Moorewood this morn
ing at O'Clock. Three or four hundred
strikers approached the works of HI. C.
Frick, and began to batter down the
gates. When ordered to desist they
fired on the deputy sherifs, slightly
wounding several. The latter replied
with the Remington rifles and killed
seven of the rioters instantly, while
many are wounded. The rioters have
cut the telegraph and telephone wires.
A private dispatch from Greensbury
says that eleven men were killed and
twenty-seven' wounded in the Moore
wood riot this morning. The dead
miners are all foreigners.

LONDON, March 3l.-It is an open
secret that Emperor William has man
aged to offend deeply nearly all the Ger
man princes by his extraordinary AFRO
gance, particularly to the Prince Regent
OF Bavaria, the Duke of Sax -Coburg and
the Grand Duke of Hesse. The emper-
or's perpetual motion craze has set in
again with renewed violence. Alsace,
Lorraine and the Rhenish provinces
have all to be inspected within the next
month and in addition to his visits to
England, the Austrian maneuvers, and
Norway, the emperor has proposed to
himself to visit the queen regent of Hol-
land, and the king Of the Belgians, and
half a dozen other surprise excursions,
at least, are under discussion H Her
bette, French ambassador at Berlin, is
about to he recalled, on the ground that
he ought to have prevented Empress
Fredericl1's visit to Paris, which is ex-
cessively absurd and foolish, for the
secret was so well kept that poor Her
bette knew nothing Of Empress Freder-
ick's intention until she had reached
Cologne. Albert Decrais, embassador at
Vienna, will probably succeed Herbette

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Farther Particulars of the Riotins
Troubles.

|
I Mr.. PLEASANT, Pa, a priI AT 2:45
this morning mob of five hundred men
began rioting at the Standard works.
They destroyed some of the company's
property and cut the telegraph lines so
that no warning could be sent to the
people at Moorewood About 8, party
marched to Moorewood
In the meanwhile the wires were
hurriedly repaired, and word sent to
Moorewood that strikers would attack
the works in three places and had well
laid plan to destroy the plant The
sheriff was soon in readiness to receive
the attack and the men divided into five
parties, Captain Laur having charge of
the party placed behind the big gate of
the barn and stable enclosure. As the
rioters passed the company's store thev
raided it and marched to the barn and
attempted to break the gates. They sue
ceeded in doing it and as they entered
Captain Laur called out to them to halt
or he would fire. There was a rattling
volley fred by the raiders in the direc-
ton of the deputies, some of whom were
seriously wounded. Captain Laur then
gave the word to fire and two vollevs
were fred before the mob broke and
ran.
Eleven men fell dead in the road and
the wounded are estimated as. high as
twenty seven. The deputies who took
part in the riot are experienced men,
armed to the teeth.
Last night superintendent Pickard
told them that the raid was contem-
plated on the works and presented each
man with Winchester. 81 have prom
ised protection he said, .'to our men
raiders come. Obey me. Fire the first
shot in the air, and then if they do not
retreat fire the second shot and keep
firing while you have ammunition.
Protect property, protect men at work
and protect your lives. Any man in
my employ who runs I viii shoot dead
any man who is not willing to accept INV
terms will please drop into the rear and
I will send him home under guard. Is
everybody satisfed?n asked the superin-
tendent. Eyes, yes" rang out all along
the line.
Each man was supplied with twenty
bullets. Some of the strikers say that
they had no intention of doing any dam
age, but marched to the works to intim-
idate the men at work.
The dead were carried into the com
pany's store at Morewood. The strikers
demanded the bodies but were refused I
and the place is now surrounded by an
armed mob of 1000 men, who say they
will burn everything on the premises /
unless the dead bodies are given up. I
The feeling is very bitter among the /
workmen who denounce the action of |
the deputies in no uncertain terms.
The Slavs and Huns are wild. All |
over the region the most intense excite
ment prevails. Great crowds are com
ing in on every train and the highways
are thickly peopled. 1t is openly de-
clared by the strikers that they will
have revenge for their companions.
The names of the deputies have been
and warrants issued for the
arrest of all of them including Captain
Laur, who was in command, on charge
Of murder. They were served this after
noon. They gave bail at once General
Manager Lynch of Frick & Co., and
superintendent Ramsay of the Moore
wood plant are made accessories before
the fact.
