come suspicion had flashed across her mind
and deeply burned itself thereon. She held
with Louvait another consultation so skill
fully managed as not to awaken the clever
detectives suspicious The result Of this
interview was the unwilling, yet almost in
inevitable formation of a theory upon her
lpart theory that her whole heart was set
upon rejecting, if possible. Still she was
forced to recognize it as so probable as well
as plausible that peace of mind could never
be hers until it were disproved.
Accordingly one day she went to her
Ichaperon and constant companion, wild
owed relative, and abruptly proposed a trip
to America.
The Countess stared in surprise.

CHAPTER XIX.
DISSEsIBLE

More than three wec,:s had now elapsed
since the abduction: but Fairfax kent him-
self so closely concealed that Natalie was
not even aware Of his presence.
One dny, however, returning from
drive, she distinctly heard the piano sound
ing forth it seemed to her, the last notes OF
a slow movement from one of Beethoven's
sonatas. Quickly entering the house, she
found no one within Blanche was in the
adjoining room, busting the furniture.
Undoubtedly the maid had been cleaning
the keys of the piano and accidentally
struck the notes that seemed to complete
the matcaicss adagio of the master.
At another time Natalie found roll OF
MS. music blown about by the winds among
the rocks on the shore. 1t was called
"Stella Mea."

A ROUGH TRIP.
Experience of the Galveston, 157
DAYS From Hongkong.

The German bark Galveston, at
ter a long battle with wind and
wave, was towed into port yester-
day afternoon. She was 157 days
from Hongkong.
When the Galveston arrived, she
had only a hundred pounds of rice
left for her eleven Chinese passen-
gers. The Cinnamon all thought
they were going to starve to death,
and some of them had given up all
hope of ever reaching port.
Captain Jacobsen, who was ac-
companied on his long voyage by
his wife, said that after having been
about a month at sea the ship
struck hard weather, during which
both the foremost and the bowsprlt
carried away. The captain put
back into Annoy for repairs. After
remaining there for a short time,
she started on her long voyage for
Honolulu. Again she struck bad
weather, gale after gale playing
havoc with her. First the bulwarks
were stove in, then the forward part
of the ship was more or less dam
aged. As a fitting climax to al.
the misfortunes, heavy sea washed
over the after deck and carried
away everything movable. The
cabin was filled with water ane
considerable damage was done.
The Chinese passengers wer'
very much afraid that the shil
was doomed. Offerings were mad
to their gods. and, in their opinions
that was all that saved them from
utter humiliation. One of them
on landing, said, eve nearl..
make; no more rice; two day
more, we die"
| The cargo, which is consigned t
Wing Wo Chan, was partly dam
aged, and some of it is probabl
totally ruined. The vessel remain
ed in the stream all night, and WI
) probably dock today.

MILKMAN MERTES TEsTIFIES.
He Saw Daniel Coughlin Enter the
Fatefui Carlson Cottage.

CHICAGO, Jan. I'm the Coughlin trial
to-day milkman Mertes. the witness who
was brought from Wisconsin to repeat
the testimony given for the State at the
former trial, testified that ON May T. 1889.
he saw a buggy driven to the door of the
Carlson cottage. In it was u young, slight
man and large man. The latter, he said,
ran up the steps. unlocked the door and
entered. "And that is the man 1 saw
enter the cottage" Mertes said, pointing
at the defendant. Coughlin looked straight
into the witnesses eyes, but Mertes added ::
''Yes, Coughln is the man i saw. i came
by the cottage later and heard some one
hammering in there. The other man in
the buggy was Kunze."
Coughlin, frequently in interviews, de-
clared Mertes to be perjurer. Mertes' s
testimony, except for the more dramatic
Identification was substantially the same
as that he gave at the former trial
During the crosS-examination the witness
maintained the truth of his testimony, but
admitted that he had told Judge Wing
when not on the stand "a pack of lies"
He certainly admitted that he had lied TO
Judge Wing at the time, and said he was
afraid to tell the truth for fear he would
be injured. He said he did not feel con-
strained to tell the truth when not under
OATH and that he had lied when he told
attorneys Wing and Forrest that ii was
raining on the night of May 4.

The Employees Side Of the Case.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal


RUSSIAVILLE, Ind, Jan. 2.-AIr. w. H.
Smith, secIe etary of the committee of To-
ledo. st. Louis e Kansas City railway en-
ployes, who are engaged in an effort to
prevent the reduction of wages in train and
telegraph service of that road, is at home
for few days. ''Yes. it is true that we
have appealed to the courts" said Mr.
Smith in reply to a query, "and we have
no fear of the result, we have a just
cause and are prepared to present evidence
showing that the proposed reduction is
needless At the time the road went into
the hands of a receiver our former agree
ments were annulled, and we made new
ones on June % last in which we agreed
to an annual reduction of some $780, 900, this
affecting engineers, firemen, trainmen and
telegraphers. At the same time We were
we'll aware of the fact that the official
force has been augmented. but wishing to
bear our proportion OF the roads trouble
we cheerfuly consented TO the above reduc-
ton. This agreement was violated In many
Of it's provisions upon the part OF the COM
pany AMI such further reductions made as
resulted in some of the oldest men in the
Telegraph service receiving less than half
of their former pay. Under this agreement
erginemen and trainmen have averaged s39
$4l, $50 and S66 monthly for period of four
months. Our evid6rce shows that while the
reduction amounts to but $21 900 per annum
there has been an increase over the old
Official force TO the extent of 81, ,26S per an
mum. ana this with smaller volume OF
business than formerly. We do not think
IL just that we stand a second reduction
within four months for the purpose of re-
tanning an unnecessary official force"
Mr.. Smith stated that Judge j. G. Suit.
OF Frankfort, had charge of the case. but
would be assisted at Toledo. where the case
will be heard before Judge Ricks, OF the
