streets The lines were quietly and
quickly but effectually formed and the
sub-treasury was, for the time being,
cut Off from interference.
WcLave in Police Sergeant McCuire's
account and in Gen. Waterson's report
sufficient data from which to form
some idea ot the scene The sergeant
says: II don't think ten minutes had
passed when found the whole of the
broad steps leading up to the building
covered with soldiers, leaving only a
space of ten feet in the center, and the
colonel and his staff followed by an
other hundred men were marching up
that alleyway into the building. One
of the patrolmen, who was as much
astonished as / was, asked me what the
regiment was going tn do in the build
ing, and made some careless answer
There was black crowd of people
down in Broad street looking on and
most of the Office windows in tho
neighborhood were crowded with peo-
pie, but there was no excitement. The
men on the steps looked as If they
were drawn up for show, but calcu.
lated that it would take the whole POI
lice force of the city to dislodge them.
The first thing that gaze me twinge
was that, after the troops went in,
none of the people who were doing
business inside came out. and the sol
diers wouldn't let anybody go up. In
spector Fairchild, who didn't like the
looks of things, turned his badge out,
took two men and insisted on going in
to see what was being done. We
waited over half an hour and they did
not come back, but the company of
troops that had gone in had come out,
fallen into line, and another hundred
men had been marched in. Word was
then sent to the central Office. That
was about twelve o'clock. twas three
quarters of an hour before the super
intendent and another inspector ar
rived. They went at once into the
building, where they were placed un-
der guard. We were then ordered
back, outside of the lines, by one of

! that If the arrangements could be com
| pleted regiment of Indiana militia
would visit the city on or about the
| 18th, and asked for the usual right to
parade and a police guard to clear the
streets. At the time of the receipt of
the letter every man of the regiment
was in New York. The men of the
force were SO widely and carefully dis
tributed that a military organization
was invisible. Each man had in his
possession a light uniform consisting of
blue flannel shirt, duck trousers and
belt, 4 thin glazed hat, knapsack and
Spencer rifle with twelve rounds of
ball cartridges. This uniform could be
put on in few moments.
At half-past five on the morning of
the 18th the men thus equipped
came to Tompkin's square from all
points of the city. The inhabitants in
the neighborhood looked on with the
lazy interest taat military parade
awakens in the metropolis, but no one
knew or cared to inquire whether the
regiment had arrived en- masse by an
early train or had come in the night
before.
The troops had to wait till nine
o'clock for the platoon of mounted
police that was to precede them. Gen.
Waterson, the colonel commanding.
communicated with the sergeant of
the squad through his adiutant. They
had been invited, he said, to visit Wall
street and the sub-treasury. They
were then to march to Gen. Grants
tomb for battalion evolutions.
1t does not appear that any suspi-
cions up to this time were awakened
in the police, who regarded the con-
spicuous cartridge belts of the men as
a piece of western military nonsense,
and it was not within their line of duty
to question the visit of the officers to
the sub-treasury. If the sub-treasury
did not want their western visitors
they would shut the doors in their
faces.
1t wa, twenty minutes past nine
when the regiment, preceded by the.
police, and with the colonel and his
staff, disrnounted, left the park and it
was ten o'clock when it wheeled into
Broadway at Eighth street, making
solid and formidable appearance in its
homely uniforms and soldierly bear
ing.
Nothing occurred along the route of
consequence to interfere with it's prog
resS The inhabitants looked upon it
as part of the constantly recurring
show of that highway; careless re-
marks were here and there made about
the cheap gct-up, but the crowds eyed
it carelcssly and went on their way.
It was just fifteen minutes of eleven
by the Trinity clock when the armed
force turned into Wall street and five
minutes later it had come to
a halt in front of the sub-treasury
building. The regiment filled all the
space en- the Wall street side and ex-

How a Japanese Girl Got Around q Rsyal

At one time if japanese girl mar

capitated. A Portuguese gentleman,
whom we met in Yokohama, related his
experience in this direction. He went
| there thirty years ago and fell in love
| with a Japanese girl. Her parents
warned her of the fatal consequences
of marrying him. He was young and
ardent, and she som&ntic.

He was Catholic, End he had prom

of his religion.
"Will you join the church," he
asked
':Join anything" said she; 'we die
together"
They elopcd and visited the nearest
priest, whosadvised them against their
fatal marriage, but to no purpose.
''She cannot be baptized, confirmed
and married all in the same day. said
the priest.
''She must" said the lover.
II must" she said, ''for we both die
tomorrow morning"
The priest waived a few customary
rules to fit the occasion and performed
all three ceremonies at once, and then
interceded for the brides life. The mi
kado decided that he could not behead
the Portuguese, but the girl should die
The priest warned him: saying: 'She is
now Portuguese, too, and you would
better postpone the decapitation until
you confer with the Portuguese gov

Time was granted. The priest per-
suaded. The husband pleaded. The
Portuguese government demanded.
After correspondence which lasted
five years, and in which the British,
American and other consuls or repre-
sentatives took much interest, the
young woman was permitted to live.

The sanitarium stood upon rounded

to another aud larger knoll which Hen

road two hundred feet away, which

To the west there was clearing and

that the troops came. They surround

the adjutant general, on fine white
horse in full uniform and gold epau-

upon the lawn and in an impressive
voice called upon all the house to sur
render.
A voice from the house replied:
''This is private property. If the com
manding officer will come in, will
confer with him."
There was consultation on horse
back, the sheriff and the general
leaning over and evidently comparing
views.
While thus engaged Hendricks made
his appearance upon the balcony.

draw his pistol.
Before he could get it fairly into his
hand, there was a sharp crack Of a
rifle at short range and he half raised
himself in the stirrups and fell heavily
backward upon the horses launches,
the pistol falling upon the ground.
Hendricks stepped down and picked it
up as the horse reared and backed
away-and at that moment q crack of
firearms was heard and he went quick
ly back into the house and shut the
door.
As soon as he got to an opening in
the barricaded window, he saw the
general wildly galloping up and down,
fourishing his sword and calling upon
his men to fall in. But many of them
were past falling in. Their bodies
were conspicuous by their uniforms,
lying where they had fallen in the
grass and the rest were budding con-
fusedly, running indeterminately into
the trees at the foot of the slope under
q murderous fire from all parts of the
house.

a hundred and forty-four mer, at least

all off and consequently did not know
if they were killed or wounded. The

The infant lone year old) child of MT and Mrs William Oakes, who reside at Weatogue near the house of George Sardam, was fatally burned last Thurs day afternoon. Mrs Oakes had gone to the house of one of the neighbors on some errand and had left her three children alone in the house, the young est being asleep in its cradle by the stove. On her return, after not very long absence, the oldest child (about six years old) stood in the doorway scream ing. On entering the house Mrs Oakes found the cradle nearly burned up and the clothing all burned off the child. Dr Lee was immediately summoned but the child WAS past help and died at 6 p. m., two hours after the accident oc- cured. The cause of the accident Is not known; whether spark snapped out of the stove. which is old and rick ety, into the cradle and set fire to the bedding, or whether the older children were playing with fire and set fire to the cradle.

V A Sad Accident.

Mrs M. B, Quinn, the wife of the sta tion agent at East Canaan, was terribly burned last Thursday morning. Her dress, which was of some light, infam- able material, took fire while she was standing by the stove and before she could realize it she vas wrapped in flames. She rushed out doors to throw herself in the snow and George Good win, who happened to be passing, smothered the flames with horse blanket or robe. She is still in a very critical condition and it is impossible to say whether she will recover. Her face. however. was not burned. The cause of the accident cannot be ascertained, but the report that she was using kero- sene about the stove is authoritatively denied. Mir and Mrs Quinn have not been married a year and much sympathy is felt for them in this dreadful affair

The cold snap of last week put .such brand of failure upon this industry that there is no gainsayiug or recovery from it-this year, at least, and probably not for some years to come.
