Great Northern. A man travelling up
the creek alone was held up by three
highwaymen, who not only robbed him.
but cut off his head. Another man who
happened along saw the affair, unknown
to the murderers. He went to the
nearest camp and told the story. In a
short time a large posse was organized
and were on the trail of the robbers,
and finally succeeded In overtaking
them. Owing to the large crowd Of
pursuers they had little difficulty in
capturing the murderers. The man who
witnessed the affair wac taken along.

were hanged to trees without ceremony.
At the time the stage left, neither the
names of the murderers nor that of their
victim had been learned, though eeveral

A Bank Note Worlds Fair Souvenir to b
Issued.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-It is now pro-
posed to issue bank note souvenir in
honor of the quadro-centennial of the
discovery of America. Captain Mere
dith, chief of the bureau of engraving
and printing, has had such PROPOSE
tion under consideration for some time,
and be has made preparations to lay the
matter before Secretary Foster on his
return to Washington in such a way
that if the design is authorized, the
engraverH can get to work on it immedi-
ately. The idea is to choose one of the
smaller denominations for souvenir,
probably the one-dollar note.
United States Consul McCreary has
submitted a written statement in refu-
tation of the charges of official miscon-
duct, recently preferred against him, to
Secretary Foster, who refuses any infor-
nation on the subject.

An Islanders Aerial Ride.

At a mill known as st. Georges, on the
Island of Barbados, ON the 21st of May,
1891, the men in attendance were shorten
ing sail; one man did not let go his hold
soon enough and was carried aloft by the
great forty y-five-foot sail He fortunately
had all his wits about him and managed
to get his feet around bar of the sail and
to hold on to the one above. In this posi-
tion he was carried around, the mill revolv-
ing with increased rapidity, as the man
whose duty it was to feed it had rushed
out at the first alarm.
A cry was raised to choke the rollers
with cane and SO stop the mill. This was
done at the imminenG risk of breaking
some of the machinery and SO releasing the
sails altogether. After six complete revolu-
tions the mill was stopped, fairly choked
by the bundles of cane thrust into its jaws,
leaving the sail, to which the man still
clung, uppermost, and he ninety feet from
the ground. With marvellous nerve, or
rather lack of nerves, he proceeded to climb
down that perilous ladder and reached the
ground without assistance. An easy cal
culation will show he had travelled close on
600 yards in his aerial journey, and halt
the distance with his head downward.
Probably not a white man living could
have held on under the circumstances, but
the negro, when unfettered by boots, is as
agile as monkey, and had he only tail
would be formidable competitor to one
in the climbing line.-Au the Year Round

PITTsBURG, Pa, June 15-The Amalga-
mated Association of Iron and Steel work
ers today presented Il new scale to the iron
manufacturers. The scale was chiefly sur
prising from the fact that the high priced
workers had their wages cut. This in-
cludes rollers and their helpers. The
delegates hoped that by making these re-
ductions the manufacturers would be salts
fed ana the threatened wage coufiic5
ayerted. In this they were disappointed,
as the manufacturers presented scale pro-
viding for il reduction in the price of pud
ding from s. 80 to $3.50 with cuts in
other departments, ranging from ten to
forty per cent. After three hours con-
ference no agreement was reached. An
other conference viii probably be held next
week. Both sides are firm. If no agree
ment be reached a strike is likely to
follow, which will affect fully 100, 600 men,
and cause an almost general suspension of
work in the iron mills of Pittsburg and
the west.

A British Omcer's Invention.

Captain Wilson, r. N, of the torpedo
instruction ship Vernon, has invented
an appliance for cutting through the tor
pedo nets with which modern warships
protect themselves from torpedo attacks.
The experiments already made prove to
the fullest extent the tremendous power
of the new invention, which has fully
realized all its originator claimed for it.
The inventor of the torpedo net ridiculed
the idea of any instrument being able to
cut through his tough steel wire net
ting. But the trial just made has proved
the emptiness of his boast.
The great momentum Of the White
head torpedo, armed with Captain VIII
sons new torpedo cutters, enabled it to
cut its way through any torpedo net,
even when the latter was set an angle of
As degs., without apparent retardation
of its flight. The cutter consists of
blades arranged scissor fashion, which
sever the wire meshes of the net, max
ing an aperture sufficient for the en-
trance Of the torpedo.-Electricity.

a UniGue Theater.

A stock company in Vienna is about
to begin building unique theater in
one of the recently annexed districts.
The cost is to be $3.50, 900 or $500, 600.
The roof is to be a great rolling iron cur
tain, after the style of iron curtains now
used before shop windows, and on hot
summer nights it is to be drawn aside so
that the audience may be refreshed.
With that arrangement the com . ny
expects to be able to carry out its plan
to give performance every evening in
the year, CT 422 performances annually,
including matinees. The theater will
accommodate 5000 persons, and the
highest price Tor place outside of the
boxes is to be only forty cents, although
the heaviest classical plays and the
works of the best modern dramatists
are to be produced on its stage.-Archi-

A Plum Pudding in Russia.

Does any one remember Byron's IA
nous plum pudding story? If SO, the
Nikita plum pudding story may strike
them as somewhat of parallel. When
staying at St. Petersburg for Christmas,
some English friends Of the young
singer, thinking to please her and re-
gardless of the effects on her voice, sent
her monster plum pudding as sur
prise. Imagine her amazement and
trepidation when it was announced in
every morning paper that large box,
supposed to contain an Internal ma
chine, directed to the young singer, had
been deposited at the nearest police sta
ton. A letter reached her from an
authority-there are many authorities
about in st. Petersburg informing her
that the police were chary of opening
the box, fearing it might be dangerous
to their lives, but did she know of any
one valiant enough to attempt the deed,
the box should be hers.
Her impresario undertook to die in the
attempt, and on arriving at the police
station for that express purpose was
somewhat relieved to find the huge pack
age reposing quietly enough in tank Of
water. Now came the moment for the
untying of the Gordian knot, and there
reposed, wrapped in linen within an earth
enware bowl, the pudding dearest to the
heart of Englishmen on the 25th of De-
cember as every year comes around.
The police still refused to be satisfied.
and insisted that the terrible thing
might shroud mysterious bomb. After
a vast amount of probing and pronging,
the pudding was at length conveyed to
its destination, and both it and the joke
were heartily enjoyed by the Nikita
party. ty.-Gentlewoman.

market except polishing, drop out by the
bushel from another machine several
rods away from where the strips started

FIRELlGHT.

Dear Mother Dusk has stolen in.
And, close unto the chimney tail,
Her wheel doth swiftly turn and spin.
And straightway darker shadows fall.
And straightway red the fame doth start.
The hearthstone is alight once more;
Waile shifting phantom fires dart
Athwart the ceiling and the floor.
Outside giant wind in vain
Hath striven for a welcome here,
And now upon the window pane
Soft, truant snowflakes whirl and peer.
But let the giant madly blow!
What matter if he storms or grieves?
For, rgom the fiery embers' glow,
Dear Mother Dusk story weaves.
Methinks it could not well be told,
Because, in truth, it's seen, not spoke;
The princess, though, hath hair of gold,
The ogre's beard is curling smoke.
And where his charred old castle stands,
Beside the moat and drawb bridge there.
We see her wiring her lily hands,
We spy that lovely floating hairi
Fain would we to her rescue fly,
When 10! the drawbridge down doth
crash!
Princess and ogre buried lie
Where starry sparks and flames upfashl
Dear Mother Dusk hath stopped her wheel
And all the hearthstoae brighter gleamss
Night hath crept in, and she doth steal
To make a place fer Jack O. Dreams.
But oh. the grim old ogre strong!
And oh, the princess in the tower!-
Through echoes dim of slumber song
We feel that magic twilight hour.
