GUILTY BUT RELIEVED.
City Officials of Joliet No Right s'
 Tear Up Santa Fe Track.

City Officials of Joliet No Right to
 Toar Up Santa Fe Track.
 CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Judge Grosscup has rendered decision in the case of Mayor Stassen and other city officials of Joliet, who were charged with con tempt of court in tearing up track of the Santa Fe road. The court held that the city council had no right to remove the track by force. At the same time he relieved the officials of the charge of contempt.
 Judge Grosscup said he did not believe the mayor intentionally violated the order of the court appointing receivers, although what he did was technical contempt. The council had no right to remove the property of the road or de- stroy it. The question as to the author ity of the city over the street which the track ohstructs, he said, was one to be settled by the courts and not by physical force. The court then said that the question as to the rights of the city will be taken under advisement. In the meantime he suggested that the receiv- CTS and the city officials should confer.

THAT ROYAL MARRIAGE.

Report Has It That the Czarowitch
 Will Wed Princess AIix at Once.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. i3.-Another report regarding the matrimonial pros poets of the czarowitch is in circulation here. It Is now stated the heir apparent to the throne of Russia will accompany tho czar from Liyidia to Corfu, and from that island the czarowitch will proceed to Darinstadt. from which place he will return to Russia with his fiancee. Princess Alix of Hesse, and the Grand Duke and Duchess Sergius of Russia. her brother-in-law and sister.
 It is added the wedding will probably take place at the beginning of Novem- Der, the supposition being that the csre- mony has been hastened on account of the pressure brought to bear upon the cxarowitch by his 1hther, who is desir- ous. in view of his approaching death, of having the marriage take place as soon as possible. as in the event of his demise the wedding will be postponed a year at least

this evening and will accompany the cxar to Corfu. where he will remain un- til the crisis Is over, having received six months leave of absence from the Prus- sian government.
 The distinguished German specialist persists in his rather favorable diagnosis of the czar's case and is fully of the be- lief that if it is left entirely in his hands be will be able to effect cure. Prof. Leyden has taken to Liyidia a liberal supply of drugs, his operating tools and q new remedy, supposed to bs specific against the disease prepared by Dr. Koch and In which Professor Koch and Professor Leyden both have much hope.
 The officials of the Russian embassy have no doubt that the czar has the best chance ebtainable in Professor Leyden's hands because he is to place himself un- reservedly under the orders of the Ger man physician and has peremptorily dismissed Professor Zacharine.
 The reason for the czar's incessant worrying was about the approaching death of his son George and secondly the conduct of the .czarowitch, who stubbornly refused to marry Princess Alix. The reason assigned for this re- fusal Is the great love the czsrowitch has for his mistress, most beautiful Jewess, who seems to have so great a hold upon him that. for the sake of keeping her, he has offered to renounce his right of succession to the throne. But the czar will not permit this, not approving of it for family reasons. At the same time the czar fears for the welfare of Russia and Europe if a re- gency is necessary. These worries. Professor Leyden asserts, constitute the great feature of the czar's case.

The Condition of the Czar Is
 Not So Favorable.

 Arrangements Are Being Made For His Immediate Removal to Corfu-Prof. Leydsn win Accompany His Majesty and still Persists He Can Restore sf,s Cxar to Good Health.
 BERLIN, Oct. 18.--A member of tho staff of the Russian embassy of this city, informed the Associated Press cor respondent Thursday evening, that the reason Professor Leyden was for the second time called to attend the czar was because the distinguished sufferer had suffered relapse. This Is shown in his greatly increased difficulty in breathing and in periods of unconscious ness. Within the last week the czar'f nervousness has grown worse; so rapidly as to make him irritable, greatly lessen ing his chances of recovery.
 Although the czar fully expects to die he is eager for his removal to Corfu, ths latter step becoming imperative if thu | only chance to save his life is utilized Professor Leyden will reach Liyidit

cRHMATED IN A hAYMoW.
Horrible Fate of Two Young Msn--A
 Fathers Sad Fate.

PORTLAND, Ind, Oct. 1S.--A frightful holocaust occurred at the residence of Nathan Greer, farmer in the German settlement In Mercer county, eight miles northeast of Fort Recovery, O., late Thursday night.
 The farm employes were engaged in threshing wheat and Ellsworth McAfee, aged 27 years, and William Greer, aged 90 years, were in the haymow of the large barn stacking away the straw. A spark from the engine found its way to the now and set fire to the dry straw, which flashed up like powder.
 McAfee and Greer ran to escape the flames, but were cornered like rats in & trap and driven back by the blaze, and, although they tried hard to escape where board had been knocked of. they met horrible death by suffoca- ton.
 The flames swept over the bodies and burned them to crisp, leaving only the charred trunks. The boys were missed but 1t was not known that they had per. ished until their remains were found ip the smoking ashes.
 Nathan Greer, father of one of tht burned men, rushed into the burning barn in fruitless effort to save his son and was dragged out of danger, but again went in. The second time ths flames struck him and he was severely burned. He died this morning. He wa 65 years old, prominent and worthy.

THE Democrats of the Tenth Ten nessee District are to be congratu- lated upon the re-nomination of Josiah Patterson for Congress. Col.
 Patterson's defeat would have been great loss to the National Demo cratic party. During the last Con gress he showed himself to be one of the ablest and best informed statesmen in the House, and occu- pied position foremost in the Dem Ocratic ranks. He is an able tariff reformer, is sound in his ideas on the money question, and true and loyal statesman who can be trusted in all emergencies. Col. Patterson possesses none of the elements of the demaKoguc, and is patriot aud statesman of the highest and best order.

 THE Memphis Commercial Appeal has made an interesting exposure of the profits of the sugar planters of Louisiana under the bounty system which they have heretofore enjoyed. It shows that about 800 sugar plant ers have received over $l 00O, GOO in bounty from the Government, and that while they were rolling in wealth their poor laborers are forced to work at starvation wages.

to find Betty if she still lived on earth.

was setting in the west he opened a

directed and saw, at her knitting, ur-

looked at him and did not know him,
with his thin, sallow face and his
wooden leg.

asked
And he said: "Bettyr"
And she cried out: "Why, it's John
Leat!''
Then he sat down on bench close by
her side
"You know I never had many words
to spend on anything, Betty" he said
"I'll come to the point at once. l know
now that you were true and no cheat,
and that you never gave my ring to

Il owe you no grudge," said Betty.
"And bYgones are bygones, John Leaf
But you'll let things be as they

She laughed.
Don't you know?" she said. "Why,
look there"
He looked. Through the gate came a
foreign-looking man, with silver ring
upon his finger, who led by his hand a
toddling child.

You see," said Betty II went to
him to ask him how he came by his
ring, and he proved it was none of

HAND IN HAND.

When spring was young and life was new,
Love was our only friend and guide;
sweet were the bowers he led US through,
And sweet our going side by side.
m,sn summer came, a golden flood,
And still we followed hand in hand;
fove was the music in our blood,
And love the glory Of the land
Ricb autumn fell and winter drove
The frulty ripeness from the air:
pnt wrapped in warm, soft robes of love,
what rocked we If the world was bare?
so round again we come to spring,
Strong for another years emprise;
The birds are whist to hear US sing,
The sun is dazzled by our eyes
ror hand in hand, where'er we go,
Earth under foot and Heaven above,
raye is the only life we know,
And every breath we breathe is love.
