The MINE ON SCREAMBR MOUNTAIN.
BY ELIZABETH M. LEYDEN.

/ door of the cabin a tall, raw-boned woman
with gun in her hand and four children
of different sizes clinging to her scant
skirts.
''Hellor' the woman answered, with a
nasal drawl "Who be you uns?"
, ''Lucian Hartredge, madam" he replied
unoovering his head. SIS this Mr.. Cof-
fee's?"
"How many's out thar?" she demanded,
| ignoring his question, and still holding the
| gun protectingly il front of her.
"Only myself"
"You uns hain't revenuers, then?"
''Good heavens, no!' he exclaimed, an
explanation why his fellow-travelers had
tried to mislead him occurring suddenly to
him. Coffee was a moonshiner, and these
mountaineers took him, Lucian Hartredge
! to be revenue officer.
"WaaI," she answered, lowering her
/ weapon, "'light an come in. Hyar, YOU
Jake?'-to boy behind her-''go out thar
an ten ter the strangers beast" 4"
Mr. Hartredge climbed the fence and fol-
lowed the woman into the dimly lighted
interior. She threw on pine knot, and as
| this blazed mp the room was flooded with a
bright ruddy glow, and he could discern his
hostess and surroundings very minutely.
The room was after the pattern of dozens

with clay mortar, which falling out in
places let in cold and let out the light, and
under foot was puncheon floor. There
! was one window, with a wooden shutter,
and three doors, one leading to an adioin-
| ing bedroom, and the other two being front
and back doors. A ladder in one corner led
to sleeping apartment above. The ratters
and sides of the rooms were festooned with
strings of red and green peppers, button
onions, ears of red and yellow seed corn,
bags of herbs hanks of yarn and cooking
utensils. There were two beds, covered
with gaudy calico quilts; spinning wheel
was pushed against the logs, on which hung
hanks of yarn, while three of the children
dumped themselves on the floor around the
fire and busted themselves at the task Hart
ridges arrival had interrupted, carding
yarn.
els this Mr. Coffee's?" the young man
asked, holding his benumbed fingers to the
blaze
"Yaas; Coffee's my ole man. But he hain't
hyar"
'Isn't here? Where is he? am very
anxious to see him"
'fWha fur?" she demanded, suspiciously.

sulphure in Savannah, and I'm looking for
an iron pyrites mine which is IN this neigh
borhood i was told that Mr.. Coffee could
locate it for me, as it was on his land"

LOST THE TOWN.

A Complicated Suit in the United States
Circuit Court.
In the United States Circuit Court yes
terday an argument was heard before Judge
Acheson in the case of G. w. Herbert and
others against w. j. Rainey, the coke oper-
ator. The suit was brought to restrain the
defendant from erecting coke ovens on
Front street, village of Sedgwick, Fay
ette county. The town was laid out in 1872
by an oil company, but most of the land
was atterward bought by the defendant
The plaintiffs own four of the lots. The
plan of the lots was never recorded and has
been lost. The coke ovens are located on
the principal street of the town. The plain
tiffs don't want them there, while the de-
tense contends that no town exists and
there is therefore no such street as Front
street. The Court reserved its decision.

BANK ROBBERS ESCAPE.
When They Arrive at tho Bank They Find
Officers Awaiting Them.


CAYUCos, CAL, Aug. 31.-A daring at
tempt to rob the Bank of Cayucos was
frustrated early this morning. One of the
robbers and A. G. Mcleod, ex-Sheriff OF

not seriously hurt
Five men from San Luis, Obispo, arrived
in the night and went to Bank Manager
Simmler's residence to compel him to open
the safe; but, anticipating robbery, Simmler
was absent. His bed was occupied by a
young man named Willie Waterman, who
admitted them to the bank. County Sheriff
O,Neil, Deputy Mcleod, Constable Banks
and Deputy Marshal Kues, of San Luis
City, were waiting, and in the attempt to
arrest the robbers the shooting took place.
Four of the robbers escaped but are known

or the swelling below the abdomen which
had developed subsided. They were of
opinion, however, that there was tendency
to dropsv, with other complications not
then determinable. At that time Mr.. Cur
tbs suffered a good deal of pain and spent
much time in walking up and down his
room. He was told that opium would give
him relief but ne declined to take the
drug.
A Change of Treatment Made.
At the request of Mrs. Curtis it was de-
ciied early last week to adopt homeopathic
treatment, and DR.. Reisig was called. From
that time Mr. Curtis suffered little or no
pain, and during the last days he seemed
comfortable. The swelling did not dimln-
lsh, but his family were hopeful, being
much encouraged by the cessation of pain.
His condition was not thought to be by any
means critical But three days ago Nh.
Curtis began to sink rapidly. The pain did
not recur, however, and until the end he
seemed able to recognize those at his bed
side The funeral services will be held on
Friday morning at the Curtis residence, and
will be private.
Mr.. Curtis was not native of this city,
although he spent most of his life here. He
was born in Providence in 1924, his father,
a merchant, being from Worcester, Mass,
while his mother was the daughter of James
Burril, a national Senator from Rhode
Island, of strong anti-slavery principles.
George William received his rudimentary
education at private school at Jamaica
Plain, a suburb of Boston, and came at 10
with his father to New York, where he en-
tered the counting house of large import
irg firm. 1t was his fathers intent to
give him a commercial training, but
he showed no aptitude or liking
for it, and left the. firm in
IA or 10 months. His health being delicate,
without any special ailment, he remained
at home some time, and at IS was sent to
Brook Farm, at West Roxbury, Mass, hav-
ing the intent to improve his condition by
working in the fields, alternating his out
door labors with indoor studies. Brook
Farm had become noted from the promi-
nent persons interested in it. Among them
were Ralph Waldo Emerson, A. Bronson

not yet been proved that any person In
the city or elsewhere sent such u note,
or that Mrs. Borden left the house nc
