But he had no time for Senumenlal
regrets. He turned the northern side
of the house. a bright light burned in
Lucy's chamber in the tower. He could
see shadowy figure moving behind the
curtain.
MY child. in few moments we shall
meet" he thought.
Nothing to be seen of Jierck Dewitt.
The sight Of his daughters form re-
vived his anxiety. Peering into the
dark he passed about the corner of the
turret.
He stopped opposite the parlor win
dows on the front. a shutter stood
open. \ faint light, as from flick
ering wood fire within, cleaned ont into
the hazy night. The window sill was
breast high to a man.
There we used to sit, he murmured,
my wife and |. There by the fire, in
the evenings of autumns long passed,
| have watched her love dying and all
my hopeful vigor dying-dying into
ashes
The mighty despotism of an old love
mastered him for a moment. There
was little bitterness in his heart. These
scenes, once so dear, became dear to
him again. He pardoned them for
their unconscious share in the tragedy
of his life.
Il must have one glance into that
room," he thought. My memory of it
will be Il troublesome ghost in my brain,

of the reality
He stole forward softly over the crisp,
frosty grass, and looked cautiously in
at the window.
Mrs. BrOthertOft was seated alone be-
fore the fire. 1t was an instant before
her husbands eyes could distinguish OBJ
jects within He drew.close to the win
dow. He perceived her. A thrill OF
pity and pardon killed all his old ran.
cors. He felt that, though he must war
against her for his daughters sake, he
fought reserving an infinite tenderness
for his foe.
And she within-had she heard that
stealthy step of his upon the stiffened
grass and the dry leaves: Had his faint
sigh penetrated to her as she sat silent
and moody: Did she feel the magnetism
of human presence-the spiritual touch
of spirit wounded by her wrong: Or
was it merely that in these days of
alarm and violence she kept her senses
trained and alert?
He saw her cruel face turn suddenly,
stare into the night and mark an in
truder.
For one breath he stood motionless.
Then, as she sprang forward to the
window and shouted for help, he turned
and ran around the rear Of the house
to the spot where he had left his COM
rades.

THE CONCEALED WEAPON EVIL.
The Law Against 1t Ought to Be
Strictly Enforced.

, Lyons, Ga, Sept Editor Morning
News. Would it not be wei for our legis-
lature, in the coming session to act in
some way upon the carrying Of pistols
and long range rifles We have
laws already. I am aware, that
were intended TO stop this nuisance,
but it appears that so far they have all
been failures. The law against carrying
concealed weapons is failure surely at
least, so far as the rural districts ana the
small towns along the railroad lines are
concerned tt is worse than "a failure it
puts good men at a disad vantage. as IL
either compels them TO violate the law
or places them at the mercy of lot Of

much Of himself, cares TO be going

out of his pocket 10 is to be regretted
that we arc cursed with large class who
think that the carrying of pistols raises
them in the estimation of every one else
as much as il does in their own. The law
requiring "a license to sell pistol cartridges
is failure, as all the boxes are marked

sold at all. That one oversight nulliEes

and a Winchester rife.
If q man were seen travelling around
with a set of burglars tools he would be
arrested, and yet the country is oyerrm
by q lot of men who take a delight in
carrying the tools of murder.
The very act Of carrying these con-
cealed weapons in a time Of peace is an
offense. The man that does il has muir
der in his heart. il has grown to be a
very common thing where men get
into little dispute that
could be settled very
elsily, As soon as their passion was

A REMARKABLE SPRING.
It Might Be Made to Supply an Abund-
ance of Pure Water.

Gainesville, Fla, Sept. THE money
subscribed to build the Lopez and Villas
cigar factory was paid up yesterday and
the work will be begun at once.
There is a curious spring or outlet of a
subterrancan current in Orange lake
known as HILLARY spring. Where the
water boils out the lake is eight or ten
feet deep and a bove the surface the water
of the spriug rises two or more feet higher
than the surface 1t is thought that if a
Golfer dam was erected over the spring
and the lake water pumped out a pipe
might be fitted to the outlet in the rock
bottom and an artesian well of pure
water be thus procured.

Limaville Notes.

L1MAvILLE, o., Sept. 26. y
Great excitement prevails In our small
town at the present time. Justice Zaiser's
court was filled to its utmost car acity
Tuesday afternoon to hear the case be-
tween Charles Leonard and Joseph Linn,
Leonard, the plaintiff, and Linn, the
defendant. The trouble grew out of an
over dose OF confidence. II appears that
Leonard, who was an entire stranger, got
in company with Linn, who has quite n
reputation as professional topper. They
spent Monday riding around in a cart and
having q general good time. Night came
on and Leonard remained with Linn over
night. Leonard was shown q room for
the night aud retired. While yet not fast
asleep, he mistrusted that their was some
mischief going on. Leonard called to Mr..
Ware, Linn's father-ln-law, and turned
over his pocket book to him which con,
tanned $36 20 and few other articles.
In the mean time Mr.. Ware, thinking the
pocket book belonged to Linn, gave II to
him. In the morning. Leonard wanted
his purse OF Mr.. Ware, but Linn had al
ready gotten hold of the purse, as Mr..
Ware thought that Linn was the rightful
owner. Leonard demanded his purse
and money which he had given Mr.. Ware,
Ware having turned IL over to Linn.
And here IL where the trouble surely
began. Leonard at once filed an affldavit
before Squire Iiser. The papers were
made out and placed In the hands OF CoL-
stable Greenshield, who with the assist
ance OF the town marshal, John S. Dust
man, at once proceeded to arrest Linn.
He was arrested and brought before
Squire z ZAiser and a hearing was set for /
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon. Witnesses
were immediately summoned and all was
put In readiness for the afternoon and the
afternoon was consumed In the examine.

NOT FRIGHTENED.
Samuel Burgert Hasn't Any
Idea of Getting Off the Ticket.

An alleged interview, replete with mis-
constructions and misstAtements ap-
peared in the Repository last evening.
We did not expect the Repository to do
the Democratic ticket so much good as all
reference to is that has appeared in that
paper has done, and for the assistance
rendered the ticket thanks are rendered.
An attempt 10 made TO strike ut the whole
ticket over the shoulders of Mr. Samuel
Burgers, candidate for representative.
Mr.. Burgert repudiAtes the statements
made and says that no such construction
could have been placed upon what he
really did say. The ''msy resign" which
10 printed in such funny-looking black
letters did not originate from any state
ment made by MIR. BurRert. The young
man who will represent this Legislative
district, In conjunction with Mr.. Wey-
brecht, stated this morning that he has
no intention of Withdrawing from she
ticket and never said that he had. He 10
In the field to win and will win despite
the miserable attempt on the part of the
organ that represents small minority OF
the minority party, to defeat him. Mr..
Burgert cannot be chased off the ticket by
any such means and bis majority will at
tent the fact that the Reps weak attempt
will prove a boomerang. Mr.. BurgeTt,
when seen this morning, didn't look like
o man who was frightened to death. He
was looking tip top and had that conf
dent cir that prssages no good for the un-
scrupulous Republicans who are attempt
ing to down him.

SUSPICIOUS
circumstances Surrounding q
Massillon wOman's Death.


The Msssillon correspondent OF the
Cleveland Press sends the appended story
"a sensation is promised here within q
few days, IL officers are re asonably certain
of locating the responsibility for the
death of Mrs. Minnie DeBsther, wife of
Jos, L, DeT3ather, one OF the best known
employees Of the Corns Iron Works. The
woman died early Monday morning
and the information was given out that
death was caused by blood poisoning, fol
lowing an Illness Of six weeks from
typhoid fever. A medical man, who was
given quiet tip that there were sus-
picus circumstances connected with the
death, informed Prosecuting Attorney
Bow, and that official conferred with DR..
Conklln, the coroner. As q result OF the
conference the coroner came over from
Canton, Tuesday evening, aud, with the
assistance of Drs. t. q. Miller and Il. b.
Williamson, post mortem examination
was held.
The coroner was over again, wednes.
day evening, to give the subject further
investigation, and told The Press that the
postmortem positively established the
fact that criminal operation had been
performed upon the woman.
Mrs. DeBather was daughter of Mr.

NOTHING TO SAY.
DR.. Conklin stated today to o News
DEMOCRAT reporter that he had nothing
to say regarding the case for publication
and would not have things in such shape
that he would be able to talk on the sub
ject for o couple of days.
