ity in the British Metropolis.
Harold Frederic, wide awake Ameri-
can journalist, writes to the New York
Times as follows about the buster and
threats OF the ''loyal mi ority" in Ulster:
Although all the political Protestants Of
Ulster began the week by trooping to
church and joining in specially selected
prayer TO the God of battles 10 bless
th-ir impending conflict, although each
subsequent day brought hysterical tele-
grams about further panic in Irish se-
curities, and although Ballast is covered
from end to end with huge Orange pla-
cards summoning Sons Of William to
rise, it is cold historical fact that the
Gladstonian majority only sits and grins
that trick having been Played once too
often. Possibly all these deep-yoiced,

of civil war, and then, in the end climbed
down as meekly as Crockett's coon and
took their medicine without a murnur.
That fact literally puts them out Of court

thing to the basis Of the "nigger" min

greets their most sanguinary haranguee
that they cannot invariably keep from
smiling themselves. They are going
ahead making prodigious preparations
for mass meetings in Ulster during the
Easter recess, with Salisbury as chief
treason -monger and all Orange
lodges deafening the skies with their
drums. But they know as we'll as any

he had knocked and got no answer, and
he feared M. Germenil must be ill.
Pierre ran up stairs with the keys, fol-
lowed by Clementine.
"Quick, Pierre, quick, give me tn.

But the key was not there What was
to be done?
"Wemust break the door, said Charles
And accordingly he and Pierre threw
themselves against it with all their force.
1t creaked, gave way, and the three
rushed into the room. Then dreadful
shrek ran through the house as Clemen-
tine fell senseless beside the bed where
lay the body Of her murdered father.
M. Dumont, followed by the rest of
the party, rushed up stairs to see what
was the matter and stood speeches.
with horror at the terrible spectacle.
Roger the moment he saw what had
happened gave the order to his men,
''See that no one leaves the house." Then
he returned to the room to examine fur
Their. Charles had in the meantime car
ried Clementine to her own room, where
he left her in charge of Margot, who did
all she could for her with many COM
passionate EXPLANATIONS of "Pauvre
mam'selle! pauvre p'tite!''
M. Dumont assured the brigadier that
the murdered man had not single en-
envy in the world
''Had he any money in his possession"
asked the officer
HE had $4,000 francs, Clementines
dot, which was to have been handed over
to my son today as soon as the contrat
was signed"
Here" said Charles, there is his peck
etbook," catching sight Of the edge Of it
under the pillow and pulling it out.
But it is empty" he cried. ''There
has been robbery as we'll as murder!'
"Have you any suspicions?' asked the
brigadier.
Both Charles and M. Dumont declared
they had not.
But have" said Pierre.

then, do you suspect"

"But why should you suspect herr"
said M. Dumont.
Gin any case we must try to find her
and hear what account she gives Of her.

men to go after her in different direc-
tons. "She is not long gone, and you
will soon overtake her."
He then proceeded to question Pierre,
who gave an account Of what happened
in the morning, Maries attempted es-
cape and the purse Of gold he had de-
tected in her possession.
Things began to look very black
against the unfortunate woman.
AS the brigadier said it would be nee
essary to make written statement of
what had occurred and of Pierre's evil
dence, they all now returned to the sale,
where writing materials were placed be-
fore him.
Having heard all that Pierre had to
say, he then asked what had become of
the two men who had been in the sale
when he arrived, as he said it would be
necessary that they should be examined
as well as every one who had slept in
the house that night.
Pierre replied that he believed they
were in their room, where they had gone
after asking for their bill, and that he
would go and fetch them. But just as

CHAPTER XVI.
A TERRIBLE DISCOVERY.


Pierre was about to enlarge still fur
Their on the agreeable qualities of his new
acquaintance when the door of the sale
opened, and M. Dumont came in, accom-
panied by Clementine.
"Ah, good morning, brigadierv he
said, shaking hands with Roger, who was
an old acquaintance. "You are early on
the road today. Is there anything stir
ring or special?"
Nothing much, M. Dumont, replied
the gendarme. GA couple of escaped
prisoners from Lyons, whom we are on
the lookout for, and here they are some
where in or about the forest of La
Marche, and we are on our way there
now"
''Hush!' said M. Dumont, with sig
nifcant glance toward Clementine, who
had gone over to the window, which
commanded a view of the road, and was
eagerly watching for any sign of Charles
''But you rather alarm me, for my son
had to pass through the forest on his
way to and from st. Maurice last night,
and we are now wondering little at
the delay in his return, as we expected
him earlier"
''But what was M. Charles doing at
ST.. Maurice?"
HE went to fetch a paper which had
been forgotten by the notary"
"Notaryw said the other, surprised.
"Oh, yes" said M. Dumont, smiling.
II forgot that of course you don't know
that my son is to be married today to
the young lady whom you see at the
window"
ga fortunate man is M. Charles"
said the gallant brigadier.
"But," said Dumont anxiously, what
you tell me-
Here he was interrupted by Pierre,
who had left the room and now ran in
crying out that NJ Charles was coming;
that he had seen the carriole from the
top window.
AS he spoke the sound of rapid wheels
was heard outside, and M. Dumont and
Clementine fastened out to the door to
meet him. He was out Of the carriole
and across the courtyard in two strides,
and joyful indeed was the meeting be-
tween the lovers, while M. Dumont, re-
lieved from the momentary fear which
the gendarme's words had aroused in
him, clasped his sons hand and welcomed
him with full heart. Before the greet
ings were finished the notary and the
cure, arm in arm, turned in at the gate,
and the whole party went into the salon
together, where Picard awaited them
with the papers all in order, and moth
ing missing this time. The brigadier
Joined them there on the invitation of
M. Dumont.
"Well," he said laughingly, clapping
Charles on the shoulder, "you are a
pretty bridegroom to keep lady wait
ing"
Clementine shot rather an indignant
glance at him-as much as to say how
dared he insinuate that Charles could do
anything that wasn't quite perfect,
while Charles himself pleaded the bad
state of the roads for his being little
late, adding, as he looked round, that
there was no time lost by that. since M.
Germenil had not yet come down stairs.
"My friend Germenil is not as young
as he was, any more than myself" said
M. Dumont. "And yesterday was "a
fatigping day for him. He had a long
drive to begin with.
After a few minutes more converse
ton Charles went UP stairs to see what
was OBTAINING M. Germenil, and pres
emily his voice was heard calling Pierre

that the suspicion had turned on Marie.
Finally, the party having gone down
again to the sale, he decided that now
was their time to make move to get off
knew very well they would have to give
an account of themselves to the gen.
darmes before they could hope to get
away, and so decided that the best way
would be to go down quietly, as if they
suspected nothing which had happened,
and ask Pierre if their bill was ready, as
they wished to leave. He had some
trouble in making his companion under
stand and agree to this, as he was more
dead than alive with sheer terror. How
ever, by bullying and persuasion he got
the better of him, and they went down,
and as we have seen met Pierre as he
was in the very act Of leaving the room
to look for them.
"Ah! friend Pierre" said Remond as
he staggered into the room with his
usual effrontery, sis our little bill ready
which we asked you for? 1t is getting
late, and we must be off,"
The brigadier here interposed and
said they could not go at present, as he
required some conversation with them
first.
"Hein!' said Remond, with an air as
though he could not conceive what the
man meant.
The brigadier went on, There has
been murder committed in this house
during the past night"
ga murder!" interrupted the other in
a tone Of the greatest surprise. us it
possible? Pray, who has been murder
ed? 1t is very unpleasant to think that
one has spent the night in house where
such things happen"
I'M. Germenil has been murdered, and
must say that your manner is most in
decent in speaking of such terrible oc-
currence," said M. Dumont severely.
He was most unfavorably impressed by
the appearance Of the newcomers, whom
he had not noticed the evening before
and observed to Charles, who stood be-
side him, that he could not imagine why
Pierre had given room to such suspi-
cious looking characters as these men, in
which Charles quite agreed.
The brigadier then demanded to see
the passports of the two men. These
were produced and closely examined,
but seemed to be quite en- regle, and in
answer to the questions as to where they
had come from and where they were 60
ing Remond replied that they had come
from Besancon and were on their way
to Lyons, at which name his companion
nearly collapsed with terror.
II presume, NJ. lie Brigadier," said Re
mond, with an air of much politeness,
that as you have nothing further to
ask us and as our papers are all Ell regle
we may now resume our journey"

cannot leave here at present. Till the
inquiry is finished no one can be al

await the arrival of the woman who

men have gone in search.

heard outside. and presently Marie was
brought in by one of the gendarmes.

w. a. Kennedy Shot at While on
His Way Home Sunday Night.

While VIM. A. Kennedy, inside
boss at the Laporte tamery was on
his way home from the lst to the
2nd Ward and near the turn of the
road below the Ingham watering
trough, he was shot at by an un-
known man on Sunday night. The
would-be. murderer carried lantern
and when he heard Will coming
from behind, extinguished the light
and whirled and shot. The fash
from the pistol was close to Mr..
Kennedy's face and the bullet buz-
zed by his head. Will retracted
his steps at lively gate and at the
residence of Judge Ingham came
across Il. Il. Crossley and Chas.
Lauer who joined him and went in
search OF the man who did the
shooting. They looked the woods
over in the vicinity of where the
shot was fred and on one occasion
Ben and Chas. thought they had
their prey. They saw something
under tree that resemble. the
form of a man. Ben proposed that
they 80 and get gun and Charley
suggested that they let a volley OF
stones 80 at the offender Of the law.
Neither proposition had been ap-
proved OF by the other and while
Ben was premeditating Charley
crawled on all fours little closer
aud 10 his astonishment found it 10
be a beech sapling with dead leaves
upon it. As they we're about &c
give up the chase second shot was
fred in the vicinity of the Brewster
barn. This was too much for the
boys and one of them called TO f.

with shot gun in hand, and second
search was made for the shooting
ghost, but with no avail, when the
boys with nerves all shaken up,
returned to their homes.

The Liberty Bells Home Coming,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. s3.-The
Worlds fair committee OF city
councils is arranging for the return
trip of the liberty bell to this city.
The trip homeward will be under
the auspices of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad, and it is pro-
posed to take the relic, which has
attracted so much attention at the
Columbian exposition, through the
New England states, but the exact
route has not yet been decided up
on. 1t is probable that the bell
will be taken northward from Chica-
go ard brought east by way of Buffalo.
After a direct tour of New York
state the train will go as far north
as Portland, Me-, and then come
southwark by easy stages. One OF
the principal stops will be ut Bos-
ton, New York will also most
probably be given view Of the
''proclaimer OF liberty" The return
journey will occupy about u week
it being proposed to leave Chicago
on Oct. 80 and reach Philadelphia
Nov, 4,-Es.
1t would appear from this map OF
the return of the old bell, that the
people along the W. q n. b., will be
barred from a view Of the old relic.

A PULPIT FOR DIR. BRIGGS.
The Ostrncised to BE Put IL
Charge of u New Church.

NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 22.-The
Princeton Presbyterians Of Cumber-
land Church recently purchased the
church edifice of the Remsen Avenue
Baptist Church in New Brunswick,
n. j. The ostensible object of the
movement was the fonding Of a
church of the Cumberland faith in
New Brunswick. Trustworthy in
formation to-day shows that the
main purpose of the move was to
place Rev. DR.. Briggs, who has
been prohibited from preaching in
the regular Presbyterian pulpits, in
charge,
II has been understood for some
time that some of the leading lights
in the Cumberland Presby terian
Church are leaning toward Brig
gsism, and it is evident from certain
articles in their denominational
papers that overtures have been
made by the denomination to Pro-
fessor Briggs to come with all his
followers into the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church. Some of .he
young ministers of the Cumberland
Church who belong to the recently
organized Princeton Presbytery of
the Cumberland Church are students
in the Union Seminary of New York
in which institution DR.. Briggs has
long taught. They are in favor of
receiving DR.. Briggs, and it is
thought that when the Remsen Ave-
nue. Church is made over to the de,
nomination this winter that the pull
pit will be occupied regularly by
the Rev. DR.. Briggs.
