Nothing was further from Mr.. Paul
Hayter's thoughts than an idea Of collu-
sion between Lady Arlington and any
member of her late husbands family-
all he suspected being conspiracy of
the Horners to annoy him in revenge
for the wrong he had done the woman's
son.
"Horners or hornets" he unused,
grimly, as he rode hurriedly to the
inn, may sting, but they are easily
crushed"
His astonishment may then be i'm
agined when he rode into the passage
of the Arundel Arms, Justify calling
for John Horner, to encounter William
Bladon, his ancient enemy, older than
when he had last seen him, but with a
bearing insolent and undismayed as ever.
He did not design to betray the recog-
milton.
"Where is John Horner, fellow? Send
him to me at once" he demanded, as
without ceremony he strobe into the
inn parlor. rG

wait upon you; what did you please to

request.

her own proud beauty before her soul

he have heard the mothers cry:

Or the daughters answer, as she

superb superciliousness.
"You are speaking to LadyArliugton's

suave tones, what role do you play in

Was it by design that at this critical
moment Harry Evesham left the room
without even closing the door behind
him? II so, the ruse succeeded admira-
bly,; for no sooner did Hayter see the
chance OF escape, than he made dash
for liberty. At the door stood a bow
with his horse. With one wild spring
he was on the animals back, and be-
fore Bladon, who, oddly enough, tum-

he was gone.

cigars.
"But we could not help it, Harry"
was the sage reply. "There was not a

been at the cost Of the reputation OF
Wanda's mother"
True, SIR"
"Why, Harry" continued Mr.. Hard
castle, waxing warm on the subject,
'if that fellows conscience had not
failed him when alluded to Ambrose
Arlington's murder, he might have set

Isn't he? He toppled George and

THE COAL COMBINE.
Operators Desire Legal Sanction for
Leasing TO the Reading.

PITTsToE, Pa, March 30.-It is ru-
mored locally that tho individual coal
operators of this and the Lackawanna
region are urging another pilgrimage to
Harrisburg to try and persuade Gov
ernor Pattison that it would be good
thing all around for them to have the
proper legal sanction for signing the
lease of their various coal properties to
the Reading combine.
1t is now thought that practically all
the individual operators have been drawn
into the deal. The last few hesitating
ones signed on Monday, because, though
they were not persuaded that it was for
the best interest of themselves or their
men to do SO, there was simply no other
course left open but one of self protect
tlon. However, there is little reason to
doubt that the smaller operators fav-
ored the scheme from the beginning.
They hope for everything good from the
arrangement; but if their expectations
should not be realized, they know they
can withdraw within reasonable time,
for the fact has leaked cut that these
leases are drawn up for seven years.
Ihis OF itself is very significant The
terms OF the lease as regards guaranteed
price for coal have never yet been cor
rectly quoted.
1t is believed that the price offered is
a schedule about as follows For all
sizes above pea coal, so per cent. of the
market price, beginning, say, at S3. so
free on board; from that up to $3.50, 40
per cent. additional of the increase, and
above $3.50 30 per cent. additional of the
increase. The individual operators, fig
uring the average free on board expense
at $1.9O per ton, find that the lease really
offers an increase of ten to twenty cents
per ton profit over tho old figures.

Urging tho Pure Food ELL.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Mr. Hatch,
from the committee on agriculture, re-
ported ported to the house, accompanied by, a
Paddock pure food bill. The measure,
the report says, has been pending before
the past four congresses, and the de-
mand for its passage has grown and
strengthened with the years, during
which it has been discussed by the peo-
pie of the states. Its passage is de-
manded by all agricultural organiza-
tioils, and petitions representing millions
of citizens have been laid before con-
gress, asking the speedy enactment of
the measure into law. The import
ance OF the measure, the report says, is
fully demonstrated daily by the discov-
cry OF new adultations of food products
and drugs in common use.

Desperate Mexican bandits.

GUANAJUATo, Mex, March 80 A few
days ago six bandits were discovered by
detachment of rural guards near Leon
taking up the track of the Mexican Cen
trail railroad for the purpose of derail-
ing the express train that would soon
be due, with the view to robbery. The
guards fired upon the bandits, killing
every one of them. This stopped the
depredations of the members of this
band until Sunday, when five of them
rode into the town of Bedrito and held
up number of citizens on the street at
midday, securing considerable amount
of money. One man resisted, and was
fatally shot by the bandits. They then
coolly rode out of town. The band is
under the leadership of Guam Fiento,
one o. the most desperate men of his
class in the republic.

Startling Discoveries Regarding His
Alleged Religious Community.

Alleged Religious Community.
DETROIT, Mich, March 30.-The ex-
animation of prince Michael, his
spiritual wife," Eliza Conrt, and a
number of his followers, who were ar
rested on Monday, reveals terrible
state Of affairs.
The result of the examination, which
is not by any means complete. is simply
astounding. 1t shows that in the midst
of a respectable community, in this en-
hghtened age, has been harbored under
the guise of religion most Infamous
nest of iniquity, infested with moral
and civil crime of the most heinous
nature.
The startling disclosures made to the
assistant prosecuting attorney dissolves
the halo of religious fanaticism which
has hung about Prince Michaels head,
and in measure protected him, and
shows him to be vicious and utterly
immoral brute, guilty of crimes that are
little short of fendish.
The case of Bernice Brachel, O very
pretty girl of Is years, is one of the
narrowing crimes for which Prince
Michael will have to answer. With the
assistance of Eliza Court, it is said this
innocent child was deliberately de-
bauched by Prince Michael. Wives of

SKILLED IN MURDER.
Deeming's Ghastly Butcheries
Showed a Master Hand.
ONE STROKE WAS SUFFICIENT,

An Examination Proves That the
Worked Scientifically, Which
Lends Color to the Suspicion That
He Is the Ripper.
LIVERPOOL, March 30.-Dr. Hutchin-
son, one Of the medical men who con-
Quoted the post mortem examination Of
the bodies of Mrs. Deeming and her
four children, which were found buried
under the floor at Dinham villa, Rain
hill, has told representative of the
United Press the method followed by
the murderer. He said that the crime
discloses calculating wickedness and
cool, heartless savagery that is almost
beyond belief The work of murder
was that of an expert. Only in one case
was the stroke that caused death more
than sufficient for that purpose. Each
stroke severed a vital organ, and no
more might have been accomplished by
surgeon or butcher who knew his
business well.
The children, whose well nourished
condition and well ordered clothing
showed the good and careful treatment
of their mother, had partaken of their
evening meal. The mother, too, had
eaten her supper. The mother was first
called from the room III which she was
with the children into the. room where
the murderer awaited her. This is
shown from the position of the wound
that killed her, and the fact that one of
her shoes was off and the other partly
unlaced. 1t further appears that as she
stopped to unite her shoes she was at
tackled from behind and died almost
without struggle.
Then the children were called one by
one to meet their death. Bertha, the
eldest, had her thumbs tied behind her
back with linen bandage two inches
wide. A similar bandage was wound
twice around her head, so as to cover
her mouth and keep her from crying. A
pillow case was then placed over her
head and the murderer strangled her.
The hands of the second girl were also
tied behind her back, but in the case of
the other children this precaution was
not thought necessary.
One other significant and sinister fact
is that although the throats of four out
OF the five victims were cut, on none of
the bodies or clothing was there trace
OF blood, which leaves dreadful infer
ence regarding the deliberate and calm
carefulness with which the slaughter
WAS committed.
Taken altogether, is it believed that
no country has ever produced such
consummate, utterly unprincipled and

FUNCTION as an ordinary man would kill

The body was identified as that of denry
