Senator Gray. chairman Of the investigat-
ing committee was expected TO testify. but
did not 90 TO the City Hall. The only witness
before the grand jury was Senator Allen. Of
Nebraska. who represented the committee.
He recounted the alleged continuation"
conduct OF the correspondents. The formal
resolution of inquiry under whose provisions
the special committee began its work. and the
portions of the evidence tasen by stenos-
raphers during the committees sessions aud
bearing directly on the questions asked OF the
Correspondents and their refusals to reply,
were all submitted.

the statutes bearing on the cases.

pied in making out al Indictment.
The grand jury adjourned early IN the alter
noon until Monday morning. Il was stated
at the District Attorney Office tnat probably
the jury 'vould find it unnecessary to summon
other witnesses. as testimony OF single rep
iesentat.ve OF the committee was sufficient
evidence OF the refusa!s.

It was nothing strange to them that Billy
should consider himself man very much to
be envied when upon the expiration OF his
leave Of absence he laid firm hand upon
the throttle and felt the big express locomo-
tive throb beneath his touch.
For q month he continued without ad-
venture in his new position.
Then, much to his regret. he was obliged
to '.lay orr for several days to testify in
court against the freight-car robbers who had
been arrested through his efforts.
When they were called up for sentence

AFFAIRS tx SALVADOR.
The Report of the Governments Downfall
is Confirmed by Disparches

Capt Thomas, of the United States steam
ship Bennington, at La Libertad, has in
formed the Navy Department that Guiteirraz,
the leading revolutionary general has been
proclaimed president OF Salvador in place Of
Ezeta the deposed president. VINO, according
to advices received from the unltei States
consul general at Panama. has Just arrived
at that port on the German steamer.
According 10 Capt. Thomas. Affairs at Lib
ertad are still in great confusion. Many reiu-
gees have applied for asylum on board Of tne
bennington, and, as owing TO disorder in the
town caused by the appearance o. the undis-
ciplined revolutionary soldiers. their lsIe up
peared to be in danger. these refugees were
admitted 20 the ship.
The officials were very reluctant 70 give
any detailed :a orI>a;inn about Capt. Thomas
cableera;n. rut Il 5 understood that il stalled
that the fugitive vice president tas Seen
transferred IRON the Bennington to r visiting
steamer and been carried away. Gnd mas so
escaped his pursuers.
1t IS also apparent that some trouble has
been caused by the action OF Capt. Thomas i'll
extending the right of asylum. for he has
taken aboard the Bennington naInber OF
fugitives besides the vice pres dent. and it is
probable that he has thereoy called cut u pro-

cars, and the engine which whirled it daily
from one end to the other Of the w. @. and B.
line was the fastest and handsomest piece Of
mechanism that ever delighted the heart of
locomotive engineer really loving his profess
sion and the implements of his calling.
As further evidence Of the trust reposed in
him, Billy was given a two weeks vacation
with full pay.
One of his first acts was to ''dress up and
pay visit to his sweetheart, pretty little
Nettie Byrnes, whose father, cid Larry Byrnes,
had died while Billy was serving an appren-
ticeship at ''firing" on the engine which
Larry had run for many years.
For year past they had been engaged, and
there was no reason. Billy thought, while the
marriage day should not be fixed upon.

her lovers good fortune, and when he pressed

There were nine bouts the last one being the

both throttle and brake lever.
SO sudden was the check that the shock
nearly threw him from his feet, and Nettie
tumbled from her perch.
Would 1t never stop?
Slower. slower. and not ten inches from the
obstruction the great locomotive came to
standstill, and Billy, with cry Of joy, recled
back upon his bench unconscious. When be
recovered his senses Nettie was crying and
sobbing over him. and men were coming up
the bank, bringing between them dead
man-the miscreant who had spiked down
the ties.
He had been killed rs he was running across
the valley by the fash OF lightning that had
seemed to loosen Billy's momen,nry paralysis.
Nettie took one frightened look at the face
and q cry Of wonder escaped her.

FOILED.

There had been succession Of extensive
freight ear robberies perpetrated along the
line of the W. c. and D. railroad, and the
company officials were at their wits ends.
An accident enabled freight engineer Billy
Burton TO discover the thieves and enabled
the company to recover a large quantity Of
the stolen goods.
A substantial money reward was rendered
him for his services. but it was only after
being repeatedly urged to accept 1t by the
PRESIDENT of the road himself that he ac-
cepted 1t.

TARIFF TALK.

Prospect of Closing the Long Debate Is
Not Very Hopeful.
The prospect for an agreement to close de-
bate on the tariff bill is not very hopeful.
There have been consultations between the
Republican and Democratic leaders, but no
agreement seems possible. Mr. Aldrich as
sured the Democratic managers that there
would be no unnecessary delay, and that
progress would be made and the bill go along
to the satisfaction of the majority without an
agreement.
The Democrats do not feel satisfied, and
yet on their own side there is considerable
opposition to night sessions, almost enough
to make them hesitate to undertake to force
such sessions.

patcher's Office to deliver a message to his
friend, Tom Stafford, one of the telegraph
operators.
"By the way, Billy" said Tom when the
engineer declared that "time was up" and he
must get back to his engine to be ready for
the signal, ''the head OF that gang OF freight
car thieves escaped from the penitentiary
early yesterday morning."
His face was so grave when he returned to
his engine that Nettie inquired anxiouslyif he
were i'll.
For the first thirty miles Of the run the
Imperial made no stops, and they had nearly
completed that distance when they entered u
considerable forest and approached a sharp
bridge that spanned a rocky guich, through
which tumbled shallow, brawling stream Of
water.

Ne.tie had been sitting beside Billy, and
when the robber turned upon her lover she
uttered a frantic cry and clung to him con-
vuisively.
About a week after the trial Billy and
Nettie were married and began housekeeping
in a pretty little cottage at the end of the
young engineers run" SO that he could
'.lay or at home.
Nettie had often ridden on the engine with
her father, ana as Billy could not afford to
take her upon an extensive wedding tour she
had laushingly declared that she would
make honeymoon trip upon the big express
locomotive.
So it happened that morning after the
wedding found her snugly coiled upon the
engineers "box," looking very fresh and
charming in her pretty, neat fitting white
dress.
And seeing that she was comfortably fixed

FACTORS TALK IT OVER.
They Discuss the Turpentine Market
and Plans for the Future,

The naval stores factors held a meeting
yesterday afternoon. Although the pro-
ceedings were strictly private, 1t was I'M
derstood that the spirits turpentine mar
ket was discussed and certain plans
were considered for the most advisable
means TO maintain the price of The
product.
All sorts of rumors were asoat among
parties not particularly interested in the
matter, but the factors refused to make
any statements as TO their plans.
When the factors assembled on Raw
street about O'clock and strolled in the
Baldwin building they were Joined bv
two prominent buyers, who marched IN
the stairs with the heavy holders Of
spirits. The street concluded that biq
deal and compromise was on foot II
proved, however, that the buyers in
truded merely for Joke, and left before
the meeting of the factors began.
The ship brokers, who have had little
TO do since the curtailed movement NJ
spirits began, are much exercised over
the situation, and are ready to charter
vessels to anybody, be they regular ey-
porters or factors combination.
From the excited state of affairs in tho
market, it is expected that there will he
some new developments within the next
week.
