The Story Of a Love Too Strong for

on the broad yellow front Of which were
the arms Of the Inquisition..
It was that evening that the captain
general and his suite took dinner with
the alcalde and met afterward the beau-
ty and rank of the wealthy city, and the
following night the inquisitor general
claimed them. Then the archbishop en-
tertained the new arrivals at La Popa,
and then ball given by the municipal
ity brought them all together. Then the
officers Of the army and navy were the
hosts, and then the palace Of tho captain
general was thrown open and grand
dinner and ball completed the good opin-
ion his new subjects had formed of Ell
Senior Condo Don Alphonzo Raphael
Juan Medina and his handsome son.
And while all this feasting and joyous
ness went on, while the city was given
up to fetes and every one seemed happy,
there were gangs Of slaves, naked and
chained together, who Clipped and pol
ished the great blocks Of stone, dragged
them YEARLY to the walls and hoisted
them into place. always under the lash
Of the drivers. Half starved, working
under the rays of a sun even more pitt
less than their taskmasters, the usual
number died from day to day and were
thrown into the bay for the sharks, who
were the scavengers of the city, to fight
over.
The walls of Carthagena circle the
whole city. They are wide enough in
places for four carriages to drive abreast;
they contain huge tanks in which to
hold the rain water; they are built Of
stone so closely put together that today
it is sometimes difficult to see the joints.
They were built to protect the richest
city on the Spanish main from the at
tacks OF the English adventures and the
buccaneers, for although the place was
taken by Drake and Morgan, when the
walls were finished it was safe.
They would not stand modern big
guns, but without heavy artillery they
are absolutely impregnable. They cost
eighty million dollars at o time when
every dollar spent represented in
purchasing value five dollars today.
They were built by Indian slaves,
who cost nothing but the capture,
and who were fed on plantains and
fish, driven to their utmost strength,
and expended" as the Spaniards called
it, so soon as might be. This word needs
explanation The supply of raw material
being practically inexhaustible, it was
cheaper to drive in new men, work them
to their limit and LET them die under the
lash than to take care of them with the
idea Of having them work longer. If a
slave lasted six months on the walls he
paid for his capture, and the result was
better than to.keep him alive for three
years. The question of loss of life was
not entered into, simply because to the
minds of the Spaniards of those days In
dian life was worthless.

he positively refused to return to Santa
Lucia, nor does any effort seem to have
been made to oblige hilnhe continued
to get the necessary time to supervise
the work of digging a tunnel between
this house, under the walls Of tho prison
and into the cell in which Nechtla was
shut up. This was the more easy as no
houses in Carthagena have cellars under
them. 1t must have been a tremendous
job, however, to drive that hole through
the great blocks which formed the
foundation walls of the prison and to
pierce the thick floor of cemented stone.
Still, what viii not love accomplish?
This work was as nothing compared to
the task francesca had undertaken SO
lightly. It would have been easier to
have torn down the very walls them
selves than to have obtained the captain
generals consent to such marriage

The constant fighting with the Indian
tribes, necessary through the demand
for slaves and for the CONQUEST Of the
country, made the Spanish main won
derful place for the young soldier. and
Don Francesca looked forward with de-
light TO his first expedition. In those
DAYS Spaninrd of Don Francesca Me-
dina's rank was naturally a soldier. The
captain general had fought in the armies
OF his country even as his ancestors had
fought before him and he no more
dreamed that his son should not sarye
than he had visions of that son being
afraid to 20. A nohlenaan of Spain
might 20 into the church, but otherwise
his college was the army, whatever his
after career might be. So the cautain
general was as pleased as Don Francesca
when he found that Colonel Honradez
had merely waited for his arrival before
leaving on an expedition against the
Guaieros, those warlike Indians who
have never been wholly subdued. The
boy would be in capital hands, the cap
tain general thought, as he talked the
matter over with his old companion in
arms. and could learn the trade in war
in a good school il Enrique Honradez
we're the teacher. 1t was not more than
two weeks after the arrival of the
galleon that the little band of two hun
bred men marched out Of the city at
sunrise and took the road toward La
Popa All were mounted and al wors
the shining half arlnor of the period.
With them rode the captain general and
his staff and the father talked earnestly

In the meantime the young Spanish
nobieman and the Indian girl were in
heaven of happiness. He loved her as he
had sometimes dreamed he might love.
To her he was being of another sphere.
To Nechtla, the daughter Of warriors,
the fact that he had won her In battle
with her people was cause for personal
rejoicing; it proved he was a greater
warrior than were they. Then, too, she
knew, what no one else knew, the ten
der respect with which he treated her,
the devoted love he showed by every act
and word. She had heard Of Spaniards
ever Since she could remember, as hru-
tai, cruel, pitiless, and she saw around
her abundant evidence of 1t all; but this
man was not brutal. He treated her az
no Indian woman she had ever beard Of
had been treated by man. And when
he urged that she DO baptized and be-
como n Christian in order that they
might % married she assented with o
gladness abe could never have put into
words. Frey Raphael Quevedo, who had
been Don Francesco's tutor, welcomed
the convert with an almost holy joy and
visited the little home Francesca had
put her into TO talk and reason with her.
She was baptized under the name Of
Maria.
l like to think Of this period in the
lives OF these two, because they must
have BEEN very happy. What time he
could spare from his military duties
Francesca spent with the girl, and she,
TO please him, abandoned her native
dress and so far as possible clad herself
like Spanish woman. Among the cap

joufneyed on until Francesco's eyes be-
gan to get heavy, and with Nechtla in his
arms he sank to sleep. The iron man at
the stern sat there still, watchful, alert,
steering by the stars once more, and the
canoe moved steadily on.
It was nearly ten o'clock that night
when the signals flashed out from the
Santa ISABEL and her consorts closed.
Don .Alphonso had made up his mind to
sweep to the southward in the search,
and the galleys formed in their triple
order once more, moving slowly, owing
to the difficulty of seeing at night. To-
ward oneoclock Don Al phonso yielded to
the aHectionate solicitation of Colonel
Honradez and lay down on deck, wrapped
in cloaks, to get some sleep. Daylight
comes at four O'clock in Central America,
and at the first streals of dawn the three
galleys were about five hundred yards
apart, the Santa Ysabel in the center and
perhaps one hundred yards behind. Two
slaves, one on each of the foremost gal
leys, and Colonel Honfadez, on the Santa
Ysabel, saw the canoe about the same
moment Each slave received his free
dom from the captain general.
Don Alphonso walked and rushed for
ward. Standing on the bow of the galley
he saw Francesca rise when roughly
shaken by Ell Tigre His son looked
around and saw the galleys coming d.

under their bows as they were driven at
full speed. He unbuckled his sword,

A soldier stationed at the water gate
was able to tell that he had seen Don
francesca with a man and boy pass
through the gate about half past eight.
They had taken canoe at the landing
and padded down the bay, Beyond this
he knew nothing, for If the Senior Don
francesca, the son Of his excellency,
chose to 60 out on the bay ct night It
was not his place to stop him. In hia

many minutes there were lights flashing

DENVER, Sept. ia passenger train

train was late and was running rapidly
around sharp curve. The express-car
left the track and rolled down fifteen
foot embankment, pulling with it the
mail and two passenger coaches. The
train was loaded with passengers, many
of whom were Knights of Pythias re-
turning from State convention at As
pen.

The cause of the wreck is not known
exactly, but as the road was narrow
gauge, and the coaches very top heavy,
1t is thought that the train was running
too rapidly for safety.
When the wrecking- train left Golden,
Robert Pruin, an employe of the road,
attempted to board the engine. His re-
yolver fell from his pocket, the hammer
struck stone and the weapon was dis
charged, the ball taking effect in the
mans neck, making wound which will

TROUBLE BREWING.

Ex-Policeman Green and Tom Boyle
at Loggerheads.
George Green, the ex-policeman and
pugilist, and Tom Boyle have not loved
each other for some time, and at an early
hour yesterday morning had collision.
Green is alleged to have remarked on
various occasions that he could whip
Boyle, and Saturday night the latter
went into "Googy" Welch's L-street
deadfall, where Green was presiding over
a wheel of fortune.
Boyle said something about Green be-
ing mo good" and that he was Just
where he belonged-''turning wheel for
niggers."
Green talked back, but declined Boyle's
invitation for a fight. Boyle then left,
but several hours later-in the early hours
of the Sabbath-they met again at the
corner of Second and K streets. The
wrangle was renewed, and Boyle wanted
the ex-policeman to adjourn to an alley
near by where they could fight it out.
But Green did not wait that long. He
suddenly, and before Boyle knew what
he was he was abont, struck the latter a
heavy blow on the jaw, knocking him
down. Green then took to his heels and
fed. Boyle was on his feet again in q
moment, and. whipping out a revolver,
was about to shoot at the fleeing pugilist,
when a bystander knocked the weapon
out of his hand. Green escaped. There
were no arrests. Boyle is now hunting
for Green, and there promises to be an
other engagement.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Replying to
query of General Enoch, Congressman
elect from Ohio, as to why there was not
uniformity in the answers to his calls
for status of pension claims, Commits
sioner Raum has written General Enoch
i lengthy letter pertaining to the settle
ment of claims in the Pension Bureau.
In the letter Commissioner Raum states
that he is doing all he can to secure
prompt adjudication on all claims. On
the first of July there were 523, ,7S7
claimants who had never been pensioned,
and 395.6S9 claims for increase, making a
total of 92o, ,426 pending claims. The
bureau is doing its best, but it is practi-
cally Impossible to bring all these cases
to immediate settlement. The new claims
are, to great extent, given precedence
over claims for increase.
In addition to letters of inquiry, ETC.,
from members, the office last year re-
ceived over 1,270,660 communications
from claimants, their friends and attor-
neys, inquiring regarding their claims.
These communications poured in at the
rate Of more than $500 per day. The re-
ceipt of every one Of them was acknowl-
edged, but it is physically impossible at
once to give the status of the cases to
which they relate. Some are reached
more rapidly than others, which accounts
for the fact that definite replies to some
letters are received in a shorter space of
time than others.
Members of Congress alone sent nearly
155,000 communications regarding the
pension claims last year. To answer
these it would not be justice to the claim
ants and their friends other than Con-
gressmen. All are taken up in their
turn.
The letter concludes: "Where mem
Der of Congress is cognizant of the fact
that an old soldier is in such condition
physically or financially as to render it
imperative that his claims have immedi-
ate attention, and that fact is brought to
my notice, l do not hesitate to have the
case called up, examined, and the status
given, and in such cases I would be glad
TO respond to your letters.'

GILVA'S REVENGE.
He Was Not Invited to Attend Joseph
Roderigues' Party.
He Gets Drunk, Then, and Raps
Roderigues Over the Head
With Slung-Shot.

Joseph Roderigues, Portuguese bar
Der, who lives with his family on Fourth
street, between n and o, gave party to
a number of friends last night.
He invited about dozen of his most
intimate acquaintance. Among those
whom he did not invite was Joaquin
Silva, brother of a Second-street dive
keeper by that name. Silva has the repu-
tation of being very ugly when in liquor;
and being in that condition last night,
determined to 'tget even" with the barber
for neglecting him.
CAME ANYHOW.
The festivities at the Roderigues' were
at their zenith about O'Clock this morn
pearance. He had two friends with him,
and he informed the merry-makers that
he and his friends wanted to be enter
tanned.
Roderigues did not take kindly to this
intrusion, and, according to all reports,
asked the trio in quiet manner to leave
the place. He said that if he had wanted
them he would have invited them!
TOOK HIM OUT.
Silva's companions, were not so intox-
icated as he was, and they explained
to Roderigues that they supposed Silva
had been invited. They then persuaded
Silva to leave the place, and he con-
sented. Roderigues accompanied the
intruders to the front gate and was about
to return to the house when Silva sud-
denly turned and dealt the barber heavy
blow on the head with slung- g-shot.
Roderigues dropped as if shot and the
blood streamed in torrents from deep
wound in his head.
In moment all was excitement about
the place. Police whistles were blowing,
women were screaming and there was a
general uproar. Police Officers Nc
Laughlin and Maley and Special Eldred
heard the whistles and hurried to the
scene. They placed Silva under arrest
and had Roderigues conveyed to the Re-
ceiving Hospital.
RoDERIGUES' INJURIES.
City Physician Nichols attended to the
wounded man at the hospital. He found
that while the wound was very serious
one, yet the skull was not fractured. The
blow was SO heavy though, that there
was some concussion of the brain. Rod
erigues' left arm and portions of the left
side of his body were partially paralyzed
from the effects af the blow.
Silva was charged with assault to mur.
der. He denies that he used slung-
shot, and claims that he struck Rod
erigues with light cane.

APRoPOS OF THE FLY.
Its Metamorphosis and an Explanati,
of Its Sudden DiSannaaranca


OF Its Sudden Disappearance.
How many people are there whom the
harmless but annoying little house hy
does not only worry but sometimes drive
to distraction, and yet how few there are
whose chronological knowledge is of suf-
ficient breadth to allow of their tracing it
from its first existence to a full-grown fly.
Does not the question often arise as to
it's mysterious and sudden disappearance,
asks Rex in the Philadelphia Press.
Summer after summer they present
themselves for personal annoyance, in
great abundance, and strangely enough
appear always in fully developed proper
tions; yet with the same yearly regular
ity they as mySteriouSly disappear, leay-
ing no trace of their existence behind.
Let AIS follow one of these little dipte-
rous insects through its metamorphosis.
During the month of August the fly
lays its eggs in clusters or bunches in de-
caying animal or vegetable matter of al
most any kind, such as manure or other
filth. The eggs remain unmatched usu-
ally for period of six months, after
which their Matching will depend upon
the degree of heat to which they are
subjected.
A day or two of moderate heat will
bring the eggs to life in larva form-a
maggot without head, tail or legs. These
crawl to some dry place to pupate. In
less than two weeks, with neither food
no sustenance, the puparium will grow
from its tiny shape to the size of small
pea, when the perfect fly emerges.
Their lives are of short duration, for
they only thrive through warm seasons
Of the year, when they are more plenti-
ful, and as the colder weather returns they
die.
Fragile in their composition, which
contains nearly so per cent. of moisture,
they greatly diminish in size when dead
and dry, and their matter, in conse-
quence most brittle, easily crumbles,
turns to dust and blows away.

ELECTRIC MINING APPLIANCES.
Edison's Inventions Revolutionizing
Mining Work.

Mining Work.
MONTREAL, Sept. l3.-Great interest
has been manifested here in the new
Edison electric mining appliances exhib-
tied in the Electrical Exposition. The
most striking is the electric percussion
drill, which will bore at the rate of three
inches per minute in the hardest granite.
1t requires but little power to operate,
and can be worked any distance from the
dynamo to limit of three miles. The
drill is very simple in construction, hav-
ing no moving parts except the plunger,
and nothing that will be affected by
moisture. This device, it is said by ex-
perts, will completely revolutionize min
ing work.
The next in Importance is the diamond
prospective core drill, designed for locat-
ing mineral deposits. 1t will bore $50 feet
into the earth, bringing out specimen OF
the mineral for the purpose of determin-
ing its value. Some have likened this
drill TO the mythical ''divining rcd, -
which was supposed to indicate the loca-
ton of minerals. The Edison drill GER
tainly resembles such an invaluable in
strument.
Aside from these are exhibited electric
coal drills, electric hoists, electric fans,
and electric pumps, showing that Edison
has turned his attention in earnest to
mining work, and many ARE expecting
marvellous results from this branch OF
electricity in the near future.
