measures in defense Of his sacred honor.
but y second sober thought came to him
OF his respondent wife and children, and
for their sakes he had staid the avenging
hand.
Again he had thought of appealing to
the law, but that seemed almost cow
ardly to his high born spirit, and he set
it aside as quite impossible.
All day the insult ranked in his
bosom, and when the shades of evening
had come and he wendell his way home
ward on an avenue car, he was in con-
dition of the most irrcmediable indicna-
tion.
He had some kind of a Vague idea
that night of sleep might heal the
wound Of the insulter, but, that failing,
he knew that blood alone could make
atonement.
As he neared home, thinking every
second Of what he would, could or must
do, he happened to think of his wife,
and i0dawned upon him like sunburs &
that she was q woman of spirit and
Judgment, and that she might be able
to help him in his sore difficulty and
suggest a soothing balm to his hurt hon
or.
With this new thought urging him on
he FASTENED into her presence rs soon as
he hoped off the car and kissed her.
He did this, thinking possibly that by
this time tomorrow evening he would
be beyond the power Of OSCILLATION.
Naturally, this unusual demonstration
surprised the good woman.

Freight by Trolley Cars.

A move has been made in Newark,
n. j., which Is significant in view OF the
present changing condition Of general
freight service. A bread bakery which
runs out fifty delivery wagons daily to
points within fourteen miles of the city
finds that it can do much Of its freight
delivery in a simpler and better and
cheaper way. Eighteen of its wagons
are sen to Jersey City in the morning,
loaded with hot bread, which Is dcliv-
cred to the locked boxes in front of the
grocery stores before the stores are
open. To save a drive Of from fourteen
to twenty miles a day for es.ch Of these
wagons, the firm has made a contract
with the local electric car company to
run trolley freight cars from the bakery
to a new delivery depot in Jersey City.
The cars will be run at an hour Of the
night when they will not interfere in
any way with passenger traffic. IL the
venture Is successful the firm proposes
to run cars TO more distant cities. On
the other hand, the traction company IS
nov seeking to make similar contracts
with the brewers of the city. who now
deliver large quantities Of beer in Hud-
son County and New York by wagons.
1t is but natural that the strongest pres
sure should be brought against this in
novation, but under its franchise the
company has the right to run freight
cars. Should the night trolley freight
service become general it will readily
be seen what an important modification
Of city and suburban delivery traffic
will follow.

Garcia, and that he thought it would be of the best moral effect if, leaving a good leader In command of the forces in Pinar del Rio, Maceo should pass the trocha join him and march with him to the very gates of the city of Havana. The crossing of the trocha was not an easy affair with a large body of men, and even when opportunity offered but few Cuban soldiers could do 1t without attracting attention. Maceo knew how, and moved to Mariel, but the Spaniards, through Zertucha, knew of his movements and of the communication from Gomez.
 On the 2d of December Maoeo sent four men to reconnoiter the trocha on the north side They exchanged shots with the sen- tinels, and by this the Spanish knew the proximity of the insurgent leader. Then orders were given by the Spanish com- mander not to resist. On the 8d Maceo sent some more scouts, who came back and assured him that the trocha was not we'll defended on that side. He passed the trocha on the night of the 4th without re- sistance, after leaving General Ruis Rive ra in command of the Cuban forces in the province of Pinar del Rio
 On the 9th, while marching with six men, among them Miro, the son of Go meg, and Zertucha, the latter advised him to take a route through & canefleld which he knew. They did so and fell into an ambush of 500 Spaniards, commanded by Major Cirujeda.
 Died Shouting "yiva Cuba Librei"
 "n you surrender" said a voice, i've offer you your life and an honorable treaty"
 "Viva Cuba libreP' answered Maceo, and then the butchery began. Francisco Gomez was wounded and fell before Ma eco, but Miro escaped. At this moment, said the Cuban commissioner to the junta in Havana, a band of rebels who were go- ing to join Maceo at the Havana side of Mariel, approached and were informed by Miro of the ambush. The Spaniards had already taken Maceo, who was pierced with bullets, and Gomez, who killed him. self with the last bullet of his revolver. They had searched the bodies, and four men were carrying them when the Cubans came up.
 A terrible fight ensued, and the Cubans recovered the bodies of the two leaders, pursuing the Spanish with their machetes clear to Punta Brava. Major Cirujeda had a narrow escape, but he was able to take with him the objects seized in the first search, though he left the bodies of Maceo and Francisco Gomez dressed and in the hands of the Cubans

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. 16-A tragedy has occurred in this city which is wrapped in more or less mystery. Last June J. H. Keithline, a C; . enser contractor, wid- over, advertised for a bousekeeper. Nor ris Pope and his wife answered the adver- tisement. and contract was entered Into, and the Popes were installed in Keithline's home. Mrs. Pope acted as housekeeper, and her husband paid his board. So far as known all parties got along peacefully. Yesterday Koithline got up at the usual hour for breakfast and was seated In the dining room reading a newspaper when Pope came into the room. Without saying n word, Pope pulled revolver and fired a bullet into Keithline's head Thinking he had killed him, Pope ran up stairs into his own room and fired bullet into his own head. He died instantly. The doctors think Keithline will recover.

Mexico May Be Involved.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 16.-There are confirmed reports circulating here that mob at Barcelona has assaulted the Mex ican consulate on account of his Cuban sympathies.
 Considerable feeling against Spaniards has been aroused here by an anonymous circular signed 'Son of Pelayo" and con- taining phrases insulting to the Mexican nation and government The Spaniards claim the Cubans got it up to further in flame the public mind against them.
 Telegrams from San Luis Potosi say that this document, together with impru- dent articles in Correro de Espana, have contributed to bring about state of high tension there, and fears are expressed that the police will have to be called on to pre- vent collision between the populace and the resident Spaniards The governor has given orders to protect the Spaniards-
 A further cause of the irritation Is an attack made on a laboring man in this city, who, having shouted "Viva Cubaw was set upon by two Spaniards and beaten.
 The popular sympathy Is especially en- thusiastic with the Cubans, and their cause is immensely popular since 1t has come to be believed that Maceo was be- trayed to his death
