To explore this whole mass was beyond
him, yet he persevered a day or two,
hoping to light upon striking case,
and what was his delight to find his
search rewarded by the discovery of
a thick bundle of letters in the
familiar old style handwriting of Tom
Bassatt. He knew that his great-uncle
had been intimate with Mr.. Causten,
and CHANGING over the letters rapidly
he saw they covered a period of many
years, and touched on large number of
topics of personal and family interest as
well as business matters.
So, brushing off the dust, he began on
his task with born lawyers love for
musty family archives. The documents
covered, it seemed, a period Of more than
twenty years. and recorded in general
way Tom Bassett's fortune, good and
bad, in pushing the claim for that time
incidentally, however, the writer had
touched, with characteristic humor and
kindness, on many topics, showing that
his intimacy with Mr.. Causten had not
been confined to business. The letters
contained many pungent observations on
historic characters and references to legis-
laGion of bv-gOne days. all of which
found an eager reader in his favorite
nephew, and in the light of his present
circumstances Windward was especially
interested to find how aHectionate had
been Toms relations to McArdle, then a
struggling young attorney like himself.
Turning oyer page after page in this
manner he came suddenly on passage
in one of the letters which made him
drop the sheet with an exclamation of
astonishment: and, like the lovers in
"Ravenna,' he read no more that day. "

The private secretary of railroad
king is good man To know: so Stevens
had thought for some time, and especially
now that earlier ambitions had revived
and he yearned to get out of the depart
ment rut and make career. Mr.. At
wood, the secretary, was, moreover, as
it happened, rather interesting and
companionablem man, when, upon familiar
acquaintance. he laid aside the reserve
he maintained toward strangers. His
knowledge of railroad affairs was extern
sive, and he was evidently person of
intelligence and capacity; thorough
going, accurate and prompt in his meth
DDS, and orderly in his habits, both good
and bad His views of life and men
were cynical but keen, and often very
witty even where unjust. His position
was one of trust and authority, bringing
him into confidential relations with his
chief, with whom his influence would be
potential in determining the fortunes of
others.
Stevens had often laid before himself
the career of a successful railroad man
as preferable to almost all others. There
was something solid and yet romantic in
it that gave it in his eyes powerful at
traction 1t was based on iron. 1t bound
the world together. The machinery was
noble; and those smoking bolts of trade,
discharged with precision, sped along
their appointed tracks like the stars in
their tangled orbits. The locomotive is
the most human of machines; 1t OreatheS,
eats, works and sleeps; itisemotional; has
the sulGs, groans and pants under heavy
tasks, yet reiOices in its strength; is pa
tient and resolute, and finally PUSHES
proudly home on time; it is thing to
love, and men have died for it.
Then. as business, the carrying trade
was most alluring to him through its
enormous bulk, its usefulness, the hon
esty and nicely Of attention it involved,
the high and various intelligence de-
manded, the stalwarJ attributes of hui
man nature, energy, fidelity, compe-
tence, virtue, courage and the like called
into action, and the opportunity and
scope it furnished for the most splendid
ambition. And of late its political bear
ing had impressed him. There was a
time when gentility chiefly consisted in
killing people, and the warrior or pro.
fessional homicide was the greatest man:
but the new kings are the kings Of trade,
and our new nobility boards of directors,
Hence he longed for the wealth, power
and standing Of the successful railroad
man. And now love came to taunt him
with his littleness and to show him the
awards that wait on prosperous valor.
Mr.. Atwood, however. gave him little
encouragement. Salaries in railroad
offices, he said, We're small and promo
ton slow. The great fortunes were
made by speculation aided by rascality
"A lucky combination of good guessing
and good lying.

secretary. And the old man is hike all

WASHINGTON, Jan, 24.-In the U. S.
Senate yesterday, after quorum was
secured, Mr.. Cockrell continued a
speech against the Closure resolution,
begun on Thursday. He yielded at
the request of Mr.. Teller, who inquired
OF Mr.. Allrlch how long time he pro-
posed to allow for debate ON the reso-
luton. Mr.. Aldrich, after saying that
debate could only be closed by the
Senate itself, asked unanimous CON
sent that debate be closed and the vote
taken tomorrow Saturday after
noon. Mr.. German objected, and the
debate went ON. Mr., Cockrcll finished
his speech, and Mr.. Gray then spoke
against the resolution, Mr.. Stewart
then obtained the floor, and the Senate
took recess until this morning.
In the House the Journal was ap-
proved after the usual skirmish, the
skirnisher this time being Mr.. Brock
inridge, OF Arkansas, who wanted it
read without omissions and desired to
make certain corrections. Mr. Cooper,
Of Indiana, rising to a question of
privilege, sent to the clerks desk a
resolution. offered by him last Sep
TENDER. asking for a broadening of
the Raum investigation. The resolu-
ton had been referred to the inYesti-
eating committee, ard its chairman
had been directed TO report it, but had
never done so. Mr., Cooper therefore
offered resolution directing the com,
mfttee to report the resolution. Mr..
Mckinley raised the point that the
resolution was not privileged, but the
Speaker Euled that 1t was, The mat,
ter was settled, however, by reporting
the original resolution from the com,
mittee and Nhaving it referred to the

P1TsBrGu, Jan. %. William ]. Fake,
farmer living near Laurel Station,
this county to-day murdered his wife
by firing into her body at short range
the contents of a double-barreled shot
gun. Fake blames the Book of limo
thy for his crime. Recently religious
enthusiast has been visiting his house
and Fake has for some days been in u
frenzy on religious matters. He says
his instructor told him to read limo
thy, and Fake did so. In II he says he
found that tomorrow had been fixed
as the last day and he also discovered
directions to kill his wife as a sacrifice.
That is why he shot her. To show that
he feared no evil, Fake walked several
miles to Davis Island Dam, told his
brother that he had killed Mrs. Fake,
directed him where to find her dead
body, and then quietly submitted TO
arrest, and WAS taken to Allegheny
City Central Station.
