A PUZZLE.

Alas L am graybeard
My years are 1ifty-three;
Pm old and grave, but Bessie ne'er
viii sit upon my knee.
Yet once this dimpled maiden,
With birdlike sounds of glee,
And sweet proprietary airs,
Would perch upon my knee.
And oft we've romped together,
When summer winds blew free,
But evening stars and sleepy eyes
Brought Bessie to my knee.
But now cannot coax her;
What can the difference be?
Her gowns are long, she romps no more,
Nor sits upon my knee. Century.

was to learn to cook so well that some
day / could give Biddy well-deserved
holiday and cook the dinner all myself.
At last the opportunity came when
felt proficient in this most necessary art,
and after the break fast dishes had been
washed and dried, and Jack had gone to
the office, l startled that worthy damsel
Biddy, by suddenly announcing that she
could have that day tor holiday. The
sky was overcast by great threatening
clouds, and q stiff breeze was blowing
which bore upon it's breast suspicion of
coming rain, but Biddy, undaunted by
she unpropitious weather, accepted the
offer upon the spot, and, few minutes
later, as / stood in the kitchen enveloped
in one of her huge working aprons, / saw
her struggling against the wind vending
her way down the zigzag. The luncheon
was a brilliant success, and Jack de-
voured everything in sight with utter and
most satisfactory impartiality.
''Oh, by the way, Dido,' he says pres
entity, helping himself a second time to q
crisp mutton chop, Il don't want to
frighten you unnecessarily, but it has
been rumored down town to-day that
Dash has broken Jail and escaped. /
don't suppose he will trouble you any,
but / think it just as well that you should
know and be prepared for an emer-
gency."
And here the wicked fellow nearly
strangled in his tea laughing at the look
of horror which gradually everspread
my face, and no wonder. Who had not
heard os the daring desperate Dash. who.
if rumor was to be believed, had tried his
hand at everything in the criminal calen-
dar from robbery to murder. His last
crime. particularly atrocious murder,
had narrowed up the feelings of every
one who had read about it. He had been
sentenced to be hanged, but Dash was in
no wise awad by his unpleasant predica-
ment. He had made his boast that he
would escape, and those who knew him
best thought he would make desperate
effort to keep his word. That he had at
last succeeded in carrying his threat into

HAvERHILL, Mass. Jan, 1.-Two non.

Stafford King, were returning home
through the River-street shoe district last
night, when they were set upon by the
strikers. These men pursued Meyers and
King to their home and tried 10 force an
entrance. Mey ers seized an old army
saber and King heavy club. They re-
sisted the invaders desperately and before
the latter's ranks were REINFORCED they
had laid low Napoleon Lepoint and an IN
known Italian.
a mob quickly gathered and threatened
the destruction of the house into which
King and Meyers retreated. The police
were called out in body aud dispersed
the mob. Lepoints skull was laid open
in four places by the saber in Meyers
hands and he cannot live. The Italian is
unconscious, but may recover. Meyers is
under arrest.
The Italian, Hebrew. Hun and Arme-
nian strikers are all heavily armed and
are prowliDg about the shoe district,
threatening the lives of the manufacture
ers and all non-union men. The leaders
of the strike fear that the city may be
given over TO mob rule.

tonight The Postoffiee. Wheatiand
Hotel, Central Hotel. Gem Saloon. Du-

tirely consumed.
The loss is estimated at about $4,000 or
500 600, and there is but meager insurance.
The fire originated in boarder's room In
the Central Hotel. but just how is not
known. There was no Injury to persons.
but the loss to the Postmistress and VIII
liam Amlck in property was heavy.
The new depot and the block opposite
were nearly caught. but by the heroic work
of citizens were saved.
The Odd Fellows were holding banquet
at the time of the fre-8:3O P. M.-and
everybody worked in their Sunday clothes
to put out the fire. The railroad company's
fre-train arrived from Rocklin. but was
too late to do more than put GU. the fire
already under control.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12.-The town of
Whe stland, forty miles south of here, was
visited by destructive fire tonight. The
fire broke out about $3.50 o'clock and be-
came so threatening that it was feared the
whole town would burn. Sacramento was
telegraphed for assistance. The Southern
Pacific Company dispatched fre-train
from Rncklin, but the fire was under con-
troll before the assistance arrived. The
principal hotel of the town and four large
frame buildings, including the Postoffice,
were destroyed. The Southern Pacific
depot narrowly escaped destruction.

CAPTAIN sToFEN's LOSS.
No Clew to the Robbers of the
Sonoma's Treasury.

SANTA Rosa, Jan. 12.-It is over two
weeks since County Treasurer Stolen
was locked up in the county treasury
vault and all the money in the safe
taken by unknown parties, and not one
elew that seems plausible mas been discov-
cred. The exact amount of money taken
from the county was $3.50 49, or this there
was belonging to the estates of deceased
persons. 1868 so; belonging to redemption.
S135 so; belonging to other funds. $6S16 10.
This, with $500 belonging to Stofen, which
was also taken. makes the total haul of
the obbers SS415 rs.
The day after the robbery the Treasurer
offered reward of $500 for the arrest OF
the robbers aud $500 for the recovery of
the money. but thus far no very energetic
effort appears TO have been made to find
the guilty parties.
The theory that the robbers got into
the Office and concealed themselves in a
small closet between the Sheriff's and
Treasurer's Offices is still the one most
believed. though many do not indorse it,.
Ii is claimed that two strangers were
seen to drive up in front of the Court
house that forenoon, tie their horse to q
post and moment afterward drive away
rapidly, but This story is not generally be-
lieved.
There is considerable discussion in re-
gard TO what the county will do in the
matter of the loss. Some favor having a
bill introduced in the Legislature to grant
relief TO ex-Treasurer Stolen, who, it is
claimed, was not at fault in any way in the
matter.
The Supervisors have not yet taken any
action. 1t is believed the loss will be
promptly paid up by Stofen and his bonds
men. II 1t is not, a suit will be brought
as was done in the case of the robbery Of
the Healdsburg City Treasurer several
months AGO

has resulted in the disclosure of many very
sensational facts. Cheyenne Wells is the
seat of Cheyenne County. and is in Colo
RADIO, seventeen miles west of the Kansas
boundary. being on the line of the Kansas
Pacific. According to the evidence gath
cred the county government has been for
several years in the hands of six men, ali
of whom were aware of the divorce court
traffic. The clique had falling out, two
of the party deserving the others politi-
cally. One of these was elected in Noyem-
Der to the House of Representatives in the
Colorado Legislature, and il is through his
Efforts that the Investigation was taken up
against the remaining four.
The County Judge, g. B. Slatterv, has a

with c. 81. Farall. Slattery became Judge
in 1893. Farall is the local attorney of the

torney until Tuesday last and Deputy
District Attorney in the Fourth Judicial
District, under District Attorney Cochran
OF Colorado Springs. In one case. that of
Lafayette Gardner versus Marietta Gard
ner. suit was Instituted August Is. 1894,
and determined November 10, 1894. There
is nothing in the court files regarding the
case except complaint, not sworn TO. and
an affidavit giving Mrs. Gardner's resi-
dence as Schenectady, n. z, and sum-
mons which was never served. The
weekly paper in the town did not publish
the summons.
1t is claimed that in most of these
cases. even where default was made, no
jury was impaneled. There are but 100 or
200 people in Cheyenne County, not half so
many as the number of divorces granted.
and, according to residents of Cheyenne
Wells, not over one or two divorce suits
have ever been instituted by residents of
the county. 1t is also alleged that the
divorce brokers have agencies in other
towns than Denver, where business was
drummed up.
Proceedings for the disbarment of Judge
Slattery and Lawyer Farall will be inst-
tuted before the lower house of the Legis.
lature at once. 1t is also intended to COM
mence criminal proceedings, and, it is
alleged that enough evidence is in the
hands of the authorities to send all four of
the parties 10 the penitentiary.

ENDS A CHURCH FIGHT.
Decision of Importance to the NortI
American EvangeIists.

American EvangeIists.
CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-One of the hardest
fought battles in the series of lawsuits
involving the welfare of the Evangelical
church of North America has lust been
brought to close by decision from
Judge Payne. The present suit involved
the home church of Bishop Dubs. and Is
the only case which has been decided in
favor of the Dnbs faction throughout the
country.
The suit which on its face is a simple
foreclosure suit brought by Maria Hum
mel to recover loan of $4,000 10 the
ADMINISTERED Church, has developed into
a big church fight. In the trial of the
case the foreclosure portion of it has be-
come mere incident. The real fight was
between four of the original trustees and
fifth one for the title OF the church prop
erty.
The action was first based on a subscrip-
ton made in 1885 toward the purchase of
the church property for the society
Five men of the church made sub

purchase of the echurch site, which was

ers, and Thomas J. Haynes, who has done
all the fighting in the present case for the
church. who became Dubs follower
Mrs. Hummell loaned $4,000 on property
decided to the society. and, when she at
tempted TO foreclose, the Esher faction
put in claim on the property, which was
fought by Haynes. Judge Payne decided
in favor of Haynes. declaring that the
title was properly vested in him, subject

The impression prevails that the vessels
