Rescued Two Girls.

MILAN, TENN, July 25.-Y Yester- day afternoon about , o'clock there was quite sensation at Carter's S pond in this county. The circum. stances are as follows; Misses Brader and Cowles, residing in the neighborhood of the occurrence, went out that afternoon clad in a simple bathing dress just to "pad- die" around the edge of the pond.
 A short time after, Tom Cfevus, 16-year-old youth came along in a boat and the girls persuaded him to carry them for sail. When in the middle of the pond Miss Brader made move toward the end of the boat, causing the vessel to capsize, and all were thrown into the water. The boy, knowing how to swim, succeeded in righting the boat, and the girls got hold on it, but losing their grip, sank the second time. The boy again got hold of the young ladies and shouted for assistance. Two men were fishing near and they hurriedly pulled to the scene.
 In the terrible struggles the frail garments of one of the girls was en- tirely torn off her, and a blanket was wrapped around her before she could be lifted from the water.

The Mitchell Trial.

MEMPHIS, July 23.-Interest in the Alice Mitchell trial continues, and in fact the attendance yester- day was larger than upon the open ing day, though not so many ladies were present.
 Alice showed some emotion when Miss Joe Ward took the stand. She shed no tears, but her face flushed for moment as she met the eye of her who saw the awful deed com mitted, and who, in fact, had been in danger of losing her own life. Miss Ward gave her evidence in straightforward, modest manner, and her quiet dig nity and lady like bearing won the respect and admiration of every one present. She consistently Tefrained from even glancing at Alice Mitchell, and faced the jury throughout her examination.
 Miss Ward broke down when de- scribing the tragedy, but soon re- covered her composure. She bore the ordeal bravely.
 The evidence adduced yesterday was almost entirely corroborative of what has already been offered, with which the public is very familiar. The story of Freda's intended elope- ment was, however, gone into more fully by Mir. Volkmar, and two more mysterious letters were read.

PRICK ASSASS|NAT
A Russian Anarchist Wreaks Vengeance
 on Carnegie's General Manager.
A TgRRlsis CRIME.
The Man When Asked Why He Commit ted the Assault Said You Know
 Why.

PITTsBURG, July 23.-Mr. H. G. Prick was shot by man supposed to be Hebrew. His name is un- known. The man came into the of fee and without warning fired. It is not yet known how dangerously he is injured. He IS able to talk and the man has been arrested.
 There are four wounds, one in the neck, two in the back and the fourth in his side. The man had knife, and, as only three shots were heard, 1t is supposed the fourth wound, that in the side, is from the knife. Dr. Fitchfeld is now making an examination and says he cannot tell whether the wounds will result fatally. Mr. Tricks condition is, however, re- garded as very serious. The would be assassin has frequently been in Mr. Tricks office and was admitted today without ques- tion. Mr. Prick was alone, and what passed between them is not yet known. Three shots were heard. Secretary Leishman rushed in and grabbed the man who turned on Mir. LeishmaD, but was overpowered. The police were summoned and the man was taken to the central station. Great excitement prevails, and large crowd surrounds the building in which the Carnegie offices are located. Much indigna- tion is expressed at this cowardly attack. The mans name is Alex ander Berkman. He is printer, 21 years of age and lives on Forty sec )nd street, this city. He is a Russian Jew and supposed to be an Anarchist. David Fortney, the elevator boy, says he has been hanging around the build ing for the past three or four days, and he carried him up to Mr. Tricks room number of times. Berkman was seen at the Central station shortly after the shooting, and seemed to be entirely composed. When asked what reason he had for the assault he repl;edi "You know what reason l had.

Heavy Expense.

CHEYENNE, WYo., July 25.- That stockmen who started cam paign against the rustlers in North ern Wyoming by killing two men in Johnson county, in early April, will ever have trial now seems ex- tremely doubtful, The prosecution wants to punish only about five of for'y-three men, but cannot get at them without trying the entire party. Preliminary proceedings were re- quired at an outlay of $23, 900, and it is figured that to bring the case to its termination will cost $l80, 900. The Johnson county treasury is bare, and tie county's efforts to try and raise the cash has been without suc- cess.

 PITTsBURG, July 25.-Bergman, the would-be slayer of Mir. Prick, passed quiet night at the county jail. He arose at 6 o'clock this morning, and the first person he saw was Warden McAleese.

 ''I know all that because I looked the matter up, and was willing to stand the consequences, no matter what they were. "

Chestnut had been fatally shot from ambush at Allis, little town about seven miles west of here. Mir.

some or the Strikers Busily Engaged m
 Improving Their Homes.
 HOMESTEAD, PA, July 25.--A lull to-day of the most pronounced kind opened this week at Home stead. The strikers and soldiers at last seemed to formally settle down to the conclusion that long and tedious seige is before them, and that there was nothing to do but wait. The departure of the majority of musicians helped to give the camps dull air, and the workmen for greater part adopted new course by remaining away from headquarters and devoting their at tention to iong deferred repairs on the sidewalks and fences at their homes. Among few public places there are practically only two topics, punishment by private laws and the expected return of Hugh O'Donnel. The chances for collision with the troops, however, is believed to be almost, if not quite, at zero.

Dusky splendors hovered in the groves

was nearing when the Cheniers would

her to Chicago for few weeks before
their departure for the land of the mistral

When she had gone out Julian sank
back among his pillows and found hm.
self weak and faint. He had overtxed
his strength. The fever lurking in his
blood from the irritation of his injlries
had rendered him excitable. Then too,
he had brooded over his strange prelica-
ment to an extent that had touched him
with recklessness. 1t was well fo' him

She hesitated; her eyes would moi meet
his, and she did not speak.
"You don't know how have longed to
see you, to hear you talk, to have you
near me-" he went on. still holding out
his hand.
She came into the room and went to
the table, where she stood for time
making some pretense of rearranging the
flowers Adelaide had put there.
"Oh, Rosalie, Rosalie, how could you
stay away SO longY he exclaimed. his
voice husky and low.
She gave him quick, half frightened
look, and the rosy bloom vanished from
her cheeks, leaving them for a moment
pale as marble.
"Are you getting well?" she asked IN 8
tone indicative of great restraint, as il
every expedient for appearing at ease had
slipped beyond her reach. AS if at the
sound of her own voice, the blood flowed
back into her face, lighting it with a deli

eyes burned with sudden underglow.

THE GOLD NINE.

"Oh, ROsdite, you are mine forever"
Julian got well very soon. His con-
valescence was SO rapid that within
three days from the date of our last
chapter he was able to sit on the veranda
and watch the mocking birds fit to and
fro among the trees that SHADED the
street, Somehow he had drawn infinite
happiness from theexpression of Rosalie's
face, or from some indescribable intona-
ton in her voice, or from the atmos-
phere that she had seemed to bring with
her on the occasion of her only visit to
his sick room.
Colonel Chenier was much the same
as formerly-polite, entertaining, talk
ative-but he never approached the sub
ject of his last conversation with Julian.
Adelaide seemed shy and quiet. but
Julian could not help seeing how her So
journ in Savannah was adding to her
personal charms. She looked ten years
younger than when he first saw her
more cheerful, elastic alert-and her
voice had lost a certain querulousness
which had characterized it. That her
heart had thrown off its burden of dis
