CHAPTER x.
A PRIMEyAL WEDDING.

Dorothea Hillarys engagement at once,
and that same evening called upon the
minister and used such arguments as
prevailed upon the latter to give up, for
the present at least, his idea OF prose-
cutting the girl.
Both the Doctor and Ingram were an1-
ious for Q speedy marriage, and before
another month had passed, and just as
the forest flowers were blooming, Doro.
thea Hillary gave herself to Egbert In
gram. and the maiden passed away among
the flowers of early spring, and the new
life came among the flowers in Nav.
The marriage was q joyful one, for all
loved Dorothea, and the little settlement
made the day festival.
Many were the gifts which we're brought
to Hillary's cabin in the woods, for there
Ingram and his wife had decided to
begin their welded life.
In the evening after the youth had gone
an incident happened which made Mr..
Granville believe that he had done wrong
in allowing the nuptials to be celebrated,
for that gentleman had cultivated his
diseased Imagination to such an extent,
that long after the villagers had retired
to their homes he wandered about in the
woods brooding over his trouble. He
meant to be Just, and perhaps merciful,
but his breast was filed with conflicting
emotions, as brand from the burning,
he wished to save her-but on the other
hand came up bafore his then primitive
mind, the facts concerning the girl, and
he found that he was not doing his duty
in not bringing her to trial AS he was
walking aimlessly about in the woods he
saw q powerfully built man, in whom he
thought he recognized the dead Hillary,
approach the cabin, and following him IN
single file were ahalf-dozen Indians, each
bearing bundle on his back.
Eebert and Dorothes were seated in the
cabin talking over the events of day, and,
as is the custom of lovers, repeating their
VOWS of allegiance to each other, when
RAD at the door attracted their attention.
The seven men whom the minister had
seen silently entered and ranged their
bundles upon the floor around the man
and wife.
This was done without word, and the
six Indians withdrew, leaving their
leader in the cabin. Dorothea Ingram
arose from her seat by the side of heI
husband and went to him. As she ap-
preached the man extended his arms and
clasped her to his bosom.
-Dorothea, my love, muy this day be
the beginning Of happy life for you. ]
am not much at praying, but will pray
tonight that God may make your hus-
band faithful to you. Here is my we'd
ding present. If you were poor it would
mako you wealthy, for each bundle is
made up of the choicest furs, and here is
a purse filed with gold and silver, and,
even though your husband is wealthy, my
present will not come amiss. Besides you
must not go 10 your husband empty
handed"
With kiss from the young brides lips
the man departed.

in the Future.
Gentlemen in local military circles were
discussing the report rendered by General
John II. Dickinson yesterday in relation
to the charges preferred against Captain
S. P. Bumen berg of the first troop of
cavalry.
la his report General Dickinson SAYS the
men who seek to force Captain Blumen-
berg's resignation are decidedly in the
wrong in that matter. and he refuses to
accede to their request that he shall de-
mand it.
Captain Blumenberg does not entirely
escape censure in the report rendered, 1t
being the opinion of General Dickinson
that Blumen berg's management and dis
ciDline in lis command were faulty in some
respects. Both sides in the wrangle are
quite severely handled. 1t apparently being
the opinion of the investigator that the
causes of the trouble should have been
settled without attracting the attention
that they have. and the men are cautioned
in the future TO confine their Quarrels to
the limits Of their armOry if they must
quarrel at all.

In his opening address Mr.. Belshaw en-
pbasiZed the necessity of action. He said
the depression existing in financial matters
was due TO a contraction in the circulating
medium. There was a falling market and
the purchasing power of money had risen
in value. 1t was inconceivable that gold
had risen in value and that all other COM
modities had fallen in value. Silver,

lating medium for thousands of years. ha d

FRANK CANNON.

Frank Cannon of Utah commenced with
a strong appeal in favor of maintaining the
gold and silver ratio of 16 to 1. He had
been struck that day by the mum Der of
unemployed in a procession going tn
Golden Gate Park. Their position was
largely due to tie insufficiency of the cir
culaiing medium. They declared that
they were hungry and sheterless, while
there were 10000 empty houses in San
francisco. 50 there might be ample
money for all il the value Of silver was
maintained
This question entered deeply into :he
life Of the toiier. Thirty-five billions of
dollars were due 10 the world and there
were only three and a half billions of gold
IN circulation, and they were in the DOS
session Of the creditors.
An argument had been advanced to ac-
count for The depreciation of a corner lot
IN San Francisco from $4,000 to $500 in
Tour years to the effect that il was caused
BY the appreciation of gold. He showed
the fallacy OF that by demonstrating that
oy the same argument property would
some DAY cease to have any value. The
CIVILIZATION of modern days was for the
uplifting Of the masses. The United
States as an uphoIder uf liberty had a
great mission In the world. For this rea-
son financial independence should be
achieved. [Appausp.]

of the Defendant.

Ii NJ. B. Curtis, at present on trial for
the murder of Policeman Grant, is to go
free. after two years of anxious suspense,
he may thank the very able counsel he en-
gagged TO defend him.
For the whole Of yesterdays hearing
was taken up by w. w Foote and j. n. E.

efforts TO convince the jury of their clients
innocence. And now nothing more re-
mains but for District Attorney Barnes TO
present his side of the case, and then the
jury will receive the Judges charge,
When court resumed yesterday morning
it was generally thought that the case
would go to the jury In the evening, but
the speeches for the defense were longer
than was expected. Barnes waived his
privilege of making the opening address
and w. w. FOote lost no time in rising to
address the jury in Curtis behalf.
Foote's eIOquence IS of the violent order,
and he shone most conspicuOusly in this
line when he spoke of the police of San
Francisco. B0de came In for about as
severe t0ngue-laShing as ever he had In
his life, while Allen suffered little better

was not produced in such quantities as
gold.
Such plea was a mere pretense on the
part OF the banker and Insurer to rake 10
more than their share of the product of

The speaker said the efforts of silver men

successful than any one expected. Petit
