thoughts when he had seen that
handwriting for the first time. The
next Army and Navy announced the
betrothal of Olga and the first lieu
tenant. At Olga's express request
there had been no fuss and feath-
ers." She was bred with a deep ha-
tired of a scene. 1t would be better
form to obey her parents, even
though it should kill her, than to
give people a chance to talk. Besides
it would not kill her, she knew that
and quoted to herself the proverb
that d blood horse holds up its head
until it drops" So she gave in be-
fore the storm of her fathers wrath
and her mothers entreating. A few
more dollars per month and a little
less happiness would balance in the
scale of life, or of society at any rate.
Humans health failed again. The
doctor feared a relapse, and packed
him off to the east on q three months
leave. He rejoined his troop two
days before the clergyman was to
come up from Deming and make
Olga and Hartley mar and wife.
Truman made semblance of hav-
ing forgiven and forgotten, and Hart
ley was glad that such should be the
case. He accepted the younger Off
GERS invitation to a wedding dinner,
and Olga, with her usual good grace,
made no objections.
AT z o'clock, on a close New Mexi-
can night, with no sound out of doors
but the barking of coyotes up by the
graveyard. and none within save the
monotone answers and questions and
prayers, Olga and Lieutenant Hart
ley became man and wife. At s
o'clock the passive and not indeco.
rously joyous bride sat at Humans
table and avoided meeting the eyes
of her host. She, in her white gown,
and her mother in gray, were the
only women amid a half dozen Off
Gers.
Mrs. Hartley conducted herself
with a propriety SO marked that sew
eral worthy officers formed the opin
ion that she certainly was an iciole.
Only the mother began to see what
had been done, and was nervous and
uneasy.
At last came the sparkling wine,
cold as things r rarely cold at
Cummings. Olga saw it with relief.
She felt that something of the sort
was needed to help her keep up her
part. The glasses were filed, and
she toyed with the stem of hers.
Then the host proposed the health
of the bride. 1t was drunk, and a
short speech made, the bride looking
down unblushingly and answering
with a formal smile.
There was something of a pause.
Then, as prearranged, up rose Hart
ley's captain, never suspecting the
CHASTITY joke he played, and gave out
for his toast the just announced pro-
motion of their host.
Olga raised her glass, and caught
at the moment the new first lieuten-
ants eyes. Onlysthe glance of an in
slant, and a CULVER of lips already
white. Then the bride wiped some
spilled wine from her gown and
drank the second health.

PLACER DISCOVERIES QUITE RICH
The American Falls Diggings Turn Out
Beyond Expectations.

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 1.-Great interest
is being aroused in placer discoveries
on the Snake river, three miles below
American falls. Though there is rich
ground along that stream entirely
across the state, the gold is so fine
that only in few places has any profit
attended mining operations. Therefore
when the American falls discoveries
were announced but little attention was
paid to them, as it was supposed it was
another case in which the enthusiasm
was caused by the richness of the
ground from which it would prove
impracticable to save the gold. Re-
suits, however, show that gold there
can be saved and the returns are very
large. The rich ground Is found on
both sides of the river, and it reaches
back as far as it has been prospected,
though there is at present very little
encouragement to go far back from
the stream owing to the difficulty of
getting water.
singular feature of the ground
is that gold is distributed through it
all, even the top soil being pay. The
rich streak is some four to five feet
thick, but all is pay. The ground is
ploughed and dumped into the sluices
with scrapers. Returns vary from $50
to. $40 per shift, with four men. Where
boulders are met with, rich pockets are
found under them, and where lava bed
rock is exposed the seams are found to
be very rich.

o. r. & N. PEOPLE DISSATISFIED
Holders of Common Stock Dislike the
Plan of REORGANIZATION

Omaha, Sept. lit is understood in
Omaha railroad circles that large inter
ests in the common stock of Oregon
Railway & Navigation Company, being
dissatisfied with the proposed plan of
reorganization, have recently been in
conference, and that proceedings have
been commenced to set aside the con-
templated plan. The stockholders
claim that the assessment of Sc share
as presented in the plan, would, with
the money in the hands of the receiv-
ers, provide sum more than sufficient
to pay the arrearages of interest. Those
interested claim that they see no reason
why they should pay this assessment
and at the same time part with the
control of their property, in view of
the fact that under the plan of reorgan-
ization the preferred shareholders are
to control the ten seats in the board of
directors against five of the common
shareholders.
Criticism is indulged in on the score
that the plan, as promulgated, contains
no statement of the results of the oper-
ations of the road during the period
of the receivership, nor any estimate
as to the safe earning capacity of the
line matters of detail which they claim
are invariably set forth in plans of re-
organization.

THE STORM IN NORTHERN MEXICO
Meager Particulars Show 1t TO BE the
Worst for Many Years.

Laredo Tex, Sept. Information
regarding the fearful storm of Friday,
raging from Corpus Christi, Tex, and
across the border several hundred
miles into Mexico, is very meager. Late
tonight scarcely anything definite can
be learned. Enough is known, how
ever to state that the storm is the
worst in the history of northern Mex
leo.
Indications tonight show that wires
to the City of Mexico over the Mexican
railway will not be of service until to-
morrow, and unofficial information
would indicate the abandonment of the
through trains until the latter part of
the week.
In many places the Mexican National
roadbed is washed out for several hun
dred yards. At one point 800 yards of
the track were washed into a small
river and twisted into all sorts of
shapes. 1t is reported that one passen-
ger train is stranded near Salome 30
tolo, a small mining camp about 100
miues from Laredo, the embankment
being washed out at the head and rear
end of the train. There are no reports
of loss of life.

THE EAST SHAKEN
Three Distinct Earthquakes in
Brooklyn and New York.
LITTLE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED
Were in Some Instances Thrown
to the Floor

Brooklyn, N. " Sept 1.-Three dis
tinct earthquake shocks were felt by
the residents of Brooklyn about
o'clock this morning. No damage to
life or property is reported from any
section of the city. The districts of
East New York and South Brooklyn
felt the greatest shock, but the rum
blings We're distinctly felt in other sec
tions of the city. Contradictory reports
are given as to the severity of the
shocks. The first shock, which was felt
at 6 o'clock, was followed by a rum
bling noise, like distant thunder. This
was followed by two other slighter
shocks, which, according to most re-
ports, died away in low, grating tones.
Superintendent of Police William j.
McKelvey telephoned to the police
headquarters from his Green avenue
residence to the effect that he had been
awakened from a sound sleep by the
earthquake. He said that the house
oscillated and that the bed on which he
was sleeping moved perceptibly. Dep
uty Commissioner of Police Crosby,
who was stopping at Coney island, tele
phoned to headquarters that the shock
had been very severe in that section of
Brooklyn. He described it as a low
rumblng noise, and added that many
houses had been shaken. all of the in
habitants being aroused from their
sleep.
James Jackson, a colored watchman
at the municipal building, said that the
residents of the Twenty-fifth ward
We're startled by three shocks in rapid
succession, followed by rumbling
noise The hOuses trembled and MANY
pictures and other ornaments hanging
on the walls We're thrown to the floor.
Two conductors Of the Atlantic avenue
railroad, who were dining in restau-
rant on Washington street, reported
that they felt the earthquake shock.
The building trembled perceptibly,
while the plates and other dishes on
the table We're moved. At many hotels
the guests We're so frightened by the
vibrations that they hurried into the
Railways to find out the cause of the
| trouble. The guests at the Pierpont
house were very much alarmed and
many of them went downstairs and
asked the night clerk what had hap
pened. They thought an explosion must
| have occurred
According to the weather forecast
| the earthquake reached this city at Gil
o'clock this morning. The shock was
| slight and lasted for 10 seconds. II

LIFELONG FRIEND OF JEFF DAVIS
Iowa millionaire, Recently Deceased, a
Most Original Character.

Omaha, Neb., Sept. IA special to
the Bee from Malvern, Iowa, says
The late M. u. Payne, the famous
Fremont county millionaire, who died
a few days ago, was a most interesting
and original character. He was life
long friend of Jefferson Davis, and
when the latter was elected president
of the southern confederacy he ap-
pointed secrtary of the interior, but he
never served in that capacity. On the
contrary, he came north and settled in
Fremont county, where he has since
amassed fortune, limited at from ST.
900, 900 to $3,0O0,0O0. He owned land in
every state in the Union except one.
When Jefferson Davis died he owed Mr..
Payne 100000 which he had forgotten
to pay. When Davis died Payne was
called to his home in Mississippi to
preach his funeral sermon.

Chicago Reds" Well Subdued by the
Presence of Police.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-The Chicago social
lists had their flag presentation today,
but the presence of the police and the
knowledge that there was a large re-
serve in all stations made it very
tame affair. The flag was presented
to the socialists by daughter of Os-
car Neebe, on behalf of the wives and
daughters of the radicals in the city.
1t is blood red, and on one side bears
the inscription, 'Socialistic Labor
Party of Chicago" The police were
informed that it was the intention of
the socialists to have parade after the
presentation ceremonies and that the
flag would be carried at its head, but
the officers informed the committee
that no parade would be permit
ted and the idea was given up. The
speeches were very tame, having none
of the old-time radical ring in them.
There was considerable disappointment
because Kier Hardy failed to put in
an appearance, as it had been announced
that he would address the assemblage.

Colorado Fuel and Iron Company Is
Making Money.

Denver, Sept 1.-The third annual
report of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1895, just made public, shows
that the gross earnings for the year
were $5,667, 1885, as compared with s4,-
375.747 for the preceding year. The

creased 65,993 tons. The total product
of coal was 1,4S0.435 tons, and of coke
249. .239 tons. The company produced
upwards of $4,000 tons of manufact-
ured iron. 1t has been shown that the
Fuel and Iron company can produce
iron and steel at prices that compete
successfully with the large eastern fac
tories

action.
A diplomat of high standing has been

he did not believe that war was immi-

possibility to be taken into account
now than at any time during the past

During the week ending Wednesday

among the latter is increasing daily.
and it is claimed it is the deliberate
policy of the Turkish government to
exterminate the remaining refugees by
starvation.

WESTERN UNION HAS ITS TROUBLES
Dispute With the southern Pacific Over
Lease of Lines.

San Francisco, Sept. IA dispute
has arisen between the Western Union
people and the Southern Pacific Com
pany. The former leases all of the tee-
graph lines of the railroad and operates
them as part of it's telegraph system.
This arrangement has been in force
ever since 1877 One of the provisions
of the contract provides that the West
ern Union shall pay Mr.. Huntington
100000 annually. The payment for
this year is now several months over
due and the whole trouble is the out
growth of this Negligence on the part
of the Western Union. The Western
Union wishes a reduction made in this
yearly rental. The Western Union
people claim that there was no oppo-
sition on the Pacific coast when the
contract was made, but that during the
last few years the company has been
subjected to the severest kind of COM
petition. Huntington and the Western
Union people have had the matter un-
der consideration for some time and
the former is said to have so far declin-
ed to make any reduction.
