Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1894-12-06

The light was shining warmly from
the kitchen window of the Doctors
house, and the Doctors wife was
anxiously waiting there for his ar
rival at six o'clock that same Thanks
giving evening. When, in the early
afternoon, she received message
from him that he could not be home
until evening, she straightway de-
termined to keep the dinner until
that time; and now all was ready
for his coming.
Presently the sound of wheels
crushing the gravel and the splash
ing Of horse in the puddles came to
her ears; and she ran and opened
the door, shading the lamp she held
with her hand.
The Doctors burly form descended
from comfortable, double-seated
wagon, and he quickly ran up the
steps and very tenderly took her in
his arms, disregarding his wet great
coat.
Dearest" he said, in voice in
which he did not try to suppress the
joy, II have something to tell you
which will be a great and happy sur
prise. Do you think you can bear to
hear it. all at oncoT"
"Why, of course" she replied in
half alarm, and turned her face up to
his.
Then" said the Doctor, slowly,
"there was vessel wrecked to-day,
offshore. There were four men saved.
One of them was young man. You
remember that we always thought
that-that-Bob, our boy, had gone"
He stopped.
Her hands closed convulsively
upon his arm, and he held her to him,
fearing she would fall.
But she only asked swiftly:
where is he? 1t is he'll" and, as
she watched his eyes turn towards
the wagon, still standing outside,
she suddenly tore herself from him
and ran out of the door. AS she
reached the wagon a man got down
quickly.
A moment she stood looking in his
face, the light from the open house
door bringing out it's every line.
Then, with glad cry. she leaned for
ward and the young mans arms
closed about her. And, as these two
came up the steps into the house
together the Doctor stole an arm
around the neck of each.
1T was Gods way" he said, rev.
erently; land this is our Thanks
giving. FL Independent.

Must Sell Bread by Weight.

The market commissioner has caused
quite furry among the bakers of Read
ing, Pa, by issuing a notice that on and
after January 1, 1895, they will be re-
quired to sell all bread by weight. This
action Is taken under an old act of the
Assembly passed in 1877, which directs
that all bread shall be sold by the pound,
and imposes penalty Of $40 for every
violation. As the law has been dead
letter for generations its enforcement is
likely to work revolution in the baking
business of the city.

Larger Employment of Labor.

X. q. Dun a. Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: There is some change for the
better. The gain is slow and in some d.
rections not very distinct, but the signs
of 1t are little more definite than last
week. The most important of them Is
larger employment of labor, answering n
better demand on the whole for manu-
featured products. Much of this is due
to the unnatural delay of orders for the
winter which resulted from prolonged un-
certainty, but it means actual increase
in earnings and purchasing pow
er of the millions, and so gives promise of
a larger demand in the future. Prices Of
farm products in the aggregate do not inn
prove, but the prevailing hopefulness is
felt in somewhat larger transactions.

At first the puzzled look came back
into the young mans face; but it
lasted only an instant. A light Of
recognition, as OF something long
past, suddenly called into being
again. flashed in his eyes; an almost
pitiful expression Of Joy leaped into
his every feature. Then, as he saw
the Doctors face still close before
his, he seemed to realize that 1t was
all true, and his arms were weakly
raised and put about the others
neck, and choking sob came from
his lips. To the Doctor it was as II
the twelve years gone by had never
been. Once more his boys arms
were about him, and he held him
close to his breast.

the return Of the boy in whom they
had bound up so much Of their love.
And now, after all those years, to be
so rewarded for that waiting it seemed
to the Doctor scarcely possible. Yet.
had he not the evidence Of it before
his own eyes? Had he not there be-
side him the same boy, now grown to
q man, but still the loved son? He
could not doubt what every instinct,
every pulse of his heart told him was
so. OF the four men he had helped to
rescue that day one was his son. In
silent thanksgiving he bent over the
face of the slowly reviving young
sailor and pressed his lips to the poor
head now warming with life.
Presently the man began to stir
and then, as IL he had only just awak-
ened from an uneasy sleep, opened
his eyes. At first there was but
blankness in those eyes; then all at
once they filled with the light of
puzzled intelligence and turned upon
the Doctor. There was surprise but
no recognition in them, and the Doc
tor, thinking OF his own quick dis
covery, was panied. Then, however,
he remembered that in himself there
must have been wonderful change,
and he gently stroked the hand he
held and asked the other how he felt.
For while he played the profession
al mans part and refrained from
putting the question he so longed to
ask. At last, however, he could re-
strain himself no longer, and he
stopped suddenly over the young man
with both arms about him.

AN ARMED BOAT LOWERED,
From Which Chinese Sailors
Struggling in the Water
Are Shot.
DO THE NATIONS HEAR THIS?
Evidence Of Brutality Which
Should Be Given Inter-
national Attention.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The Times will to-
morrow publish dispatch from Shang-
hal stating that Gel. Van Hannekin,
formerly aid de camp to the viceroy,
who was among those resued from the
British steamer Kow Shing. which was
sunk by torpedo from the Japanese
was ship Naniwa. has given his testi-
meny before the commission appointed
to inquire into the facts relative to the
sinking of the vessel. Col. Won Han
nekin said that the Naniwa ordered the
KoW Shing to come to order, which
order was obsyed. Then the Japanese
commander ordered the transport to
hoist her anchor, get her under way
and follow the Naniwa to Japan. AS
came known to the Chinese troops on
the Kow Shing, they insisted that the
order be not obeyed, Informing the Of
feers that they preferred death to being
cast into a Japanese prison. Capt.
.Galsworthy, the master of the Kow
ShiDg, explained to the Japanese
commander that the Row Shing was a
British vessel, and stated that she had
left port before hostilities between
Japan and China had commenced.
He offered to abandon the voyage and
return to China. After little time the
Naniwa. displayed signals reading:
Abandon the ship" To this the cap
tain signaled in reply: impossible;
the troops will not permit me to leave"
When this signal was read the Naniwa
Withdrew for little further distance
from the Kow Shing and discharged a
torpedo at her. The torpedo struck the
hull of the Kow Shing and exploded,
tearing great rent in her bottom. AS
the transport. was sinking the .NanIwa
fired a broadside into her. A half-hour
afterWard the Naniwa lowered an
armed boat. which cruised about the
place where. the transport had gone
down, firing upon the men who were

BRAZIL, Ind, Aug. 5.-David Wilson

were attacked this morning by crowd
Ct men on the Jackson street crossing
of the Chicago & Eastern Illinois and
horribly stamped and beaten. Wilson
will die and Wright is seriously injured,
being covered with bruises, his law
bone broken and an ugly cut above the
left temple. Wilson's principal wounds
are internal. Trainmaster Fowler, of
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois, said that
they hail come 10 this city to work on
his road, and this led to the belief that
the men were assaulted by strikers.
The strikers say they were acquainted
with the men, and that they did
not come to work on the road, but that
they were assaulted and robbed by
crowd of toughs. Wright admits that
he was robbed of considerable money.
A man who arrived here today to take
position on the Chicago & Eastern Hi
nois was attacked by men who claimed
to be strikers. and was only saved from
being killed by drawing revolver and
holding the crowd at bay till police.

IN "A STATE OF TERROR.
A Buckeye Town at the Mercy of
Incendiaries.

IncendiarieS.
TOLEDO, o., Aug. 5.-Oak Harbor, a
village of 1000 inhabitants. about twen-
tyfive miles east of this place, is in a
state of terror. Within the past twenty
hours three incendiary fires have been
kindled. the first entaillng loss of
about $4,000. 1t originated shortly
after midnight this morning in the stave
yard of FL. II. Milander, spreading from
that point until it had burned over a
patch of about twelve acres. Az engine
was sent from this city. but when
it arrived, at 2:30 this morning,
the fire had practically burned itself
out. The principal losers are: Ii. H.
Milander, stave factory, $1,000; George
Deels, hotel and livery, $4,000; John
Reed, implement warehouse and resi-.
dence, 800; l.. ID. Link, carriage shop,
$1,000; DR.. Heller, residence, $1,000.
The insurance will cover from one-third
to One.half the loss. The Toledo engine
was returned to this city shortly before
noon, and few moments after It's de-
parture fire was discovered in the shaw
ing box of Roose's stave factory, but it
was extinguished with slight loss. At
So'clock straw stack on the property
OF Christ Vogel was lighted. buring his
barn and other small buildings, causing
loss of about $1,000. The local depart
ment lis exhausted, their hose having
burned aud been destroyed at the early
morning fire. Citizens are fearful of
going to bed and many will sit out the
night guarding their property. No clue
has been discovered thus far as to the
identity of the incendiaries.

WITHIN THREE DAYS
AN AGR CEMENT rs EXPECTED
ON THE TARIFF.
A Sunday Session of the Confere es
indications That the Bill
Will Be Reported Soon.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The usual
Sunday quiet of the Capitol building
was broken today by the assembling of
the Democratic tariff conferees at 2:30
p. IN. in the senate committee room on
interstate commerce. All of the Demo-
cratic conferees were present except
Senator Voorhees,, who is still sick, and
Chairman Wilson. who has gone to
West Virginia to see his sick wife. The
meeting lasted until o'clock, and was
marked with even more than the usual
secrecy. Some of the conferees declined
to admit that they were together. Others
were more communicative, explaining
that the gathering today was due to the
desire to expedite settlement at the
earliest moment possible. The meeting
today resulted in all understanding that
a report should be made one way or
another-agreement or disagreement
within the next SeVenty-two hours. That
1t would be an agreement was not, how
ever. definitely settled. On this point
the conferees say they have not yet
passed the danger point. although they
seemed more confident tonight that it
would he an agreement.
The discussion today again turned on
sugar, iron ore and coal. Tie fact that
these items are receiving attention is
taken to show that the next sugar
schedule has been thoroughly can
vassed, and that 1t will be the basis of
an agreement unless some obstacle in
tervenes. The house confereeS are pro-
ceeding without reference to the strong
opposition to the new sugar schedule by
the Louisiana senators. This opposition
may be overcome by permitting the
present bounty. or a portion of it, to
run until Jan. next.
The Louisiana opposition has been
due mainly to the fact that provision
had been made for bounty in the senate
bad faith to cut off the bounty when
| the present sugar crop was put in on
The basis of bounty. By postponing
the time at which the bounty prOvisio n
of the Mckinley law shall be repealed
until Jan. 1, they would not operate
on the crop about to be gath
cred. This, like other details of the
proposition, are not yet agreed on, but
it was mentioned by one of the con-
terees tonight as fair concession to the
Louisiana men. and one likely to over
come their opposition. The Louisiana
senators have said that they would be
| willing to accept half of the bounty for
| the present year, in addition to the duty
| in the new compromise schedule. Some
| attention has also been given to the his
come tax, and, while Il final agreement
has not been reached, it Is practically
conceded that the senate limit of five
years will be adopted. The house con-
ferees feel that if the tax is in operation
| for five years it will SO sorecommend itse If
that an extension of the system will be
enacted at subsequent congress. Eff
Jorts are being made. however, to extend
the limit to six or eight years.

DEPosIToRs CHOPPED.
They Now Only Get One-Half Per
Cent on Balances.

LONDON, Aug. 5. = The abnormal
abundance of money during the past
week compelled the Joint stock banks to
reduce their allowance on deposits from
the previous minimum of per cent to
"A per cent. 1t was even suggested that
the Bank of England should change its
custom and descend below its recog-
nized minimum rate of 2 per cent. Gilt
edged securities have attained phenom-
enal prices, though it would be rash to
predict that they have touched the high
est point. The stock exchange has
worn holiday aspect, having been
closed for two days. Except for drop
of a few points in Japanese and Chinese
stocks, the markets showed a better
tone. Railway and foreign securities
were firm. American railway securities
were exceptionally idle, the movements
being guided by the New York quota
tions. There is no fear that the Japan
