legations. which were invented solely
to h0odwink South Side members, it
was intended to circulate a paper, to be
signed by all the members OF the cau-
Gus, wherein the s-gnerS pledged them
selves to elect Mr.. Dunleyy instead of
Mr. Pollock. IN joint session of Council.
Ii is needless to say that Mr.. Dunlevy
was not a party to this scheme He
knew nothing about It, and the idea was
to have it appear as spontaneous trib-
ute-a sort of sober second thought
a disinterested recognition of worth
and experience On the part
Of his political opponents,
and incidentally as an evidence of the
great ambition of the First Ward Coun-
cilmen 10 have a member Of the Board
from their ward. The First ward mem
bers were solid for It, majority of the
Second. Third and Seventh ward men
were with them, and in all IL was fig
ured that With the signatures Of the
fourteen men who voted for Dunlevy
I'm caucus, reinforced by those who
would be ready TO believe the stories
put in circulation regarding Mr.. Pol
lock and his alleged offensive par
tisanship, there would be such an array
Of those favorable to the change that
the minority would have to come over
and the change would be made.
The enquiry on the part of the reader
viii be: Why should any considerable
element of the caucus want 10 replace
Mr. Pollock with Mr.. Dunleyy, since
both are Democrats tried and true?
And: How could any Republican with
an ambition be benefited by the sub
stitutiOn Of one Democrat for another?
These very queries We're put to a Re
publican last evening, and he said:
Here's the secret. IN case the change
is understanding OF which I have
little fears: Mr.. buchanan is a member
of the present Beard. and so is Mr.
Dunlcvy. If the uptown members can
get these two gentlemen I'm the Board
the Eighth ward folks viii find them
selves dumped out in the mud in q most
uncCremOniOus manner. Mr. Schul
won't get the Secretaryship but it Will

fees viii be divided around up town,

the inside Of it, l don't feel at liberty
to divulge the rest, but I'll give YOU q
delicate hint: If, by any sort OF ILL
luck. the dickcr which lis now on should
go through. there viii be just about as
many employees under the new Board
as there is under the present regime,
and the gas investigating committee
viii have wasted q whole lot Of time.
You can think this out at you leisure. 30
The idea would thus appear to be
that Mr.. Duuleyy could be depended
upon to do certain things in certain
way. I'm the interest of somebody on the
other side Of the political fence. This
confidence may be misplaced.
The whole affair looks bad, and in
the end it viii hardly do the local bosses
and manipulators any good. They
ought TO get together, deny there was
any trouble, and fix the thing up.

Night.

About ten o'clock last night a serious
accident occurred at the Top mill
blast furnace. which viii probably re-
suit in the death of the victim.
A number Of men were at work in
the stock house, near the foot Of the
elevator cage which runs to the top
Of the blast furnace, and one Of their
number, named Mike Schult, stepped to
one side upon the spot where the cage
rests when it is down. While stand
ing there the heavy cage descended
and caught the unfortunate workman,
crushing him to the earth and intlict-
ing injuries Of the gravest character.
AS soon as the accident was known
Schult was extricated and removed TO
the North Wheeling Hospital. where a
physician at once attended him. At
eleven o'clock it was stated that his
wounds were of a grave nature, and a
fatal result would not be surprising.
Schult is o middle-aged man, an

tanned last evening, has no family.

She wiIted Him.

There is one patron of the North
Pennsylvania street line who has tho
reputation of being most dreadfully dis
agreeable. The conductors say he is n
kicker, and the neighbors say he has the
dyspepsia. Anyway he generally creates
scene wherever he goes, but since a
recent experience he is little particu-
lar about his conduct on a street car.
He boarded q crowded car at-well,
some street between Ohio and Seventh.
The aisle was filled with persons hold
ing ON to the straps. He stood for a sec
ond in the doorway and glowered at
those within. The conductor placed his
hand ON the shoulder of the bad tenn
pered man and said:
pass on, please, and don't stand in
the doorway
The disagreeable man turned his head
bit and snapped in return:
Don't get gay. Stop your pushing,
or I'll report
The unfortunate man, while making
this speech to the conductor, did not OBJ
serve that woman was attempting to
pass out. Like many others, he thought
the car had stopped for him alone. But
his Grabbed remarks were cut short by
an energetic shove from the lady passen-
ger. She thought his cutting remarks
were aimed at her, and in a high pitched
voice she replied:
"You are insulting. sir, and very I'M
gentlemanly. must get out, and if you
are not enough of gentleman to allow
me to pass shall do some reporting "
The bad tempered man tried to explain
and apologize, but the woman brushed
past him. All the passengers heard tho
remarks and witnessed the incident, and
the disagreeable man looked truly
ashamed. indianapolis journal.

ser, whose bravery was conspicuous.
After the battle had subsidized found this
gallant soldier lying on the field. He
was dying and begged me to send a
message to the Union lines. His wife
had decided to share with him the for
tunes of war and was at the officers
quarters in the Federal army.
81 ordered my men to take the wound
ed officer to our camp and to make him
as comfortable as possible. Then / sent
some men with flag of truce to the
Union lines with the message from the
dying officer to his wife
Late that night the party returned,
and the meeting of tho dying husband
and his young wife was the most affect
ing scene which have ever witnessed.
81 was compelled to go elsewhere,
but before left the sorrowing couple
ascertained that the name of the wound
ed officer was Major Barlow of New
York. often thought of the sad Incl
dent, which made upon me one of the
most vivid impressions that received
in the war.
Shortly afterward q cousin of mine

as mine was killed in battle.

The deputy was about to start in his
turn when old Constance approached
him, and lifting her face full of misery
murmured timidly:
Monsieur"

VOLTA, am ill no longer have my
health, and it is with difficulty do

into hospital for incurables. "
every we'll, the next time l come you

absently.
But the dresser had not finished. "And
then, monsieur, there is thing which
will perhaps interest you further. I
have heard everything when you were
talking with madam. am Blanche

Fabreo made an involuntary exclama-
ton and recoiled step. Blanche Lilasl
Blanche Lilas so horrible an old beggar,
with the face of death mask, he cried
nervously, almost fearfully:
How old are you, thenP
The old woman smiled pitifully:
"Not so old as I appear, it is true. I
have had so much misfortune" she
groaned. 81 am now 60, and was al
ready al years old when you first saw
me. One cannot judge of the age of an
actress from the stalls, as you said a
moment ago, but that did not prevent
my receiving my dismissal that very
year because they found mo too old.
Misery followed Immediately. Three
months after leaving the theater / was
working in kitchen. Not very long
after that an old friend who plays the
dolard here got me this place of dresser.

There is nothing but hospital that
will please me now. My request is to
the public assistance. You can ask in
my real name, Constance Poireau. And
since in the days, monsieur, you have
paid me attention"-
She stopped, as though ashamed, as
though fearing to displease in insisting
upon this souvenir to the man whose
aid she solicited. Happily for her he
was kind hearted.
Twill go. Twill go tomorrow, said
he in voice that trembled little.
"Rest assured / will strike the officers
of the hospitals and put fire under their
stomachs. And If for the moment
his fingers were at his pocket hole-"I

She made dignified gesture of re-
| fusal.
"Thank you, monsieur, all that l de-
sire is to enter the hospital. There with
my little annuity from the Society OF
Artists l will be perfectly happy. !"
With a cordial movement before quit
ting her he extended his hand. When
she had put her own wrinkled and dry
hand in his, he could not repress shud-
der to think that 30 years before he
would have cried with joy if he had
been able to depose upon that same hand
his timid kiss of adolescence. From
