The Tragic Tate of Eloping Lovers.

The most pathetic scene l ever wit
ncssed," said Judge R. L. Cawthorn, of
Texas, was third of a century ago. but
1t Is as plain to my eyes today as it was
then. We had been bothered BY horse
thieves down on the frontier, and you know
what that means in wild country. A
crowd of us started out after the scoun-
drels, and just before we reached the Rio
Grande we saw two horsemen off to the
left who acted suspiciously After them
we went, and 1t was a pretty race for
awhile till they disappeared behind a
clump of trees. We had shot to stop them,
and when we got in sight again we found
that one horse had been shot and they had
deserted him, while both were riding the
other They were evidently Mexicans-a
man and a boy-and the man showed fight,
turning and firing at US, finally hitting
our deputy sheriff. We gained on them
rapidly. and presently a well directed fire
sent them all in heap.
When we reached them the boy was
kneeling in 'front.' of the dying Mexican,
sobbing and moaning as if her heart would
break, while her hair, which had fallen
from her cap, feH below her waist 1t was
case OF elopement, and they had taken
us for her fat ler's servants, while we had
been equally stupid and had taken them
for horse thieves. When he began to gasp
she drew little pearl handled revolver,
and before any one could think of stopping
her placed the mUzzle under her ear and
fell into his arms a corpse. No, we never
heard who they were. We buried them
and went after the horse thieves. st.

BROUGHT OVER BY COLUMBUS
A Rare Old Bell Now Owned by a
New Jersey Colored Church..

A Rare Old Bell Now Owned by a
New Jersey Colored Church,
The congregation of the African
Methodist episcopal church at Haley
vile, N. j., has a rare relic in the
shape Of a large bell, which is said by
| those who have traced it's history to.
be the Oldest bell in the western hem
isphere. The bell was procured by
Captain Elias Newell on one of the Ba-
hama islands and presented by him
| to the church. It is one of the bells,
| as stated, which Ferdinand and Isa-
bella placed upon the Alhambra in
| 1892, and in 1902 was presented by
Queen Isabella to Christopher Column
bus upon his departure on his fourth
| and last voyage to America. It was
placed in the chapel which was the be-
| ginning Of the great cathedral of Car
thagena in New Granada. In 1897,
upon the siege of Carthagena, it fell to
| the share OF the French ship La Roch-
| ellie. Afterward this ship was wrecked
upon the island of San Andreas, one
OF the Bahamas. A few of the crew
were saved, together with the bell
| From the descendants of the survi-
vors the bell and its history were OBJ
tanned by Captain Newell, OF the bark
Ezra II. Fisk of Haleyville. There is
a debt of $3.50 resting upon the
| church at Haleyville, and so highly do
the people value the relic-the Column
| bus bell-that they will not place it
i in the church lest the latter may be
| sold for debt and they lose the bell,
but it is securely kept at the residence
| of Trustee Alfred Green. It will be
400 years old next year, and, the
| Brooklyn Eagle says, it is proposed
that it shall be exhibited at the Col
umbian exposition.

A Wonderful Signal Light,

The experiments with a powerful
search light on Mount Washington
have had some highly interesting re
suits. The light, which is of one hun

of twenty miles from the summit of
| the mountain to render ordinary
print legible. A narrow beam shot
upward at an angle of forty-fve de-
grees was visible overhead at Port
land, eighty-fve miles away
The elevation of the light above the
surface OF the earth at Portland must
have been more than eighty miles.
Yet when it was made to a flash sdot
| and dash" signals in the air, a tele-
graph operator at Portland readily
| interpreted the word thus transmitted
to him, and to prove that he saw the
signal, telegraphed the words back to-
Mount Washington.
| He could not see the light on the.
peak, which was hidden by interview
ing clouds, but only the beam OF light

| above his head.
This fact seems more surprising
when we reflect upon the excessive.
rarity of the atmosphere at such an
elevation, for OF course the beam Of
/ light would not be visible if it did not
illuminate the air through which it
passes just as a ray OF sunlight, en-
tering through a knot-hole, makes a
luminous beam in the dusty air Of a
barn.
1t is evident at a glance that these
experiments have a most. important
bearing upon the art and practice of
/ signal beams OF light thrown high and
| far in the air may yet prove OF i'm
mense use for military and other pur-
i poses on land, and in the guidance OF
vessels surrounded by perils at the
sea.
