BEAUTY AND The CRIPPLE
A Pair Of Lovers That Interest
Early Risers.
She Is a Stately Girl, Appa reDtly
Very Fond of Her Deformed
Swain.

Hundreds OF people who go down town
early to work see them almost every morn
ing. Most every one that has noticed
them has learned, either by instinct OF
definite information, that they are lovers.
Few seem TO know them personally. Al
most every one sympathizes with them.
Some are moved to sound pity. Others
would even offer encouragement and as.
siStanoe il they dared. They themselves
are oblivious.
She is "A pretty girl. Twenty summers
would doubtless cover her age. She has
dark eyes and brown hair. Her face is
full and plump. In the morning air,
when they are always seen. her cheeks
are rosy She is buxom. She walks
erect, and is tall enough To be 1.-THE and
graceful. She is employed in depart
ment store, and lives in Alexandria, il
is said. Probably there is not an honest
young man who comes over or goes back
on the train with her that would nos have
her for wife il he could.
BE is an unfortunate cripple. He cannot
walk without crutches. The miserable
Richard III could have had him for a twin
brother Both legs are twisted and he is
dwarfed His body is all curves. His face
is no more handsome that his body. He
ACTUALLY looks in pain, at all times, save
when he is with her. His moustache is
not pretty and his eyes are not brilliant
His head droops 70 one side, except at
the times he turns his face towards hers,
for he must look up and she must look
down when they talk. While she walks
slowly, apparently. he seems to pry and
lift himselfelong to keep up. If she were
not heedful she would outdistance him on
every tagging.
He viii probably never be any better.
Bis infirndty has evidently come to stay.
There are no physical hopes for him. May
be he has money. IL is known that he is
in business in the city. During the day he
has been seen to sit in the warm spring
sun in front of his store and direct the
movements OF the clerks and assistants.
Well, the two of them must be engaged

earlier than is really necessary, il Is said
Very. very often, especially if the weather
is fine he meets her at the train. They
have a chance for a walk and a talk. 1t is
wee bit pathetic il one cares to interest
ones self that way, to notice them going
along the street together He is nandi-
capped, one would think, by his crutches
He does not seem TO mind it. however
She appears to take no heed Of it. They
look into each Others faces and laugh and
talk Just as if he were as strong andshand-
some a S she is Ithesome and pretty.
After the walk and the talks over they
stop on one OF the streets leading to the
store where she works and say goodbye

any other lovers. When it is over she skips

SPANISH TROOPS BLOWN UP
High Trestle Across a Channel
Had Been Mined.
Three Hundred Soldiers Killed aud
Wounded-An Prisoners Re-
leased Except Officers.

New York, March IA special from Ha-
vana. via Key West, says: The news that
Spanish forces have met with a serious dis
aster i'll the westi is confirmed. tits learned
through reliable source that a train car
rying 600 troops, while going from Ar
temisa 10 some southern point, was blown
up by CubaIh, more than 500 troops being
killed or wounded.
The details give a tragic coloring. The
Cubans had learned that the troops were
TO be sent on that train. They mined long
high trestle crossing st. Armen Channel
THIS bridge is more than fifty feet high.
The HINES were exploded as the train was
passing over it, with terrible effect. Half
OF the entire train was lifted up and thrown
into the deep channel below The force of
the explosion was terrific the ground being
torn w for d great distance The cries of
the wounded and the shouts of those un-
hurt added excitement and terror
As the remainder of the troops rushed
out OF the ruins they We're met with a
whitening fire from the concealed Cubans,
and dozens fell at the first volley. The
engagement lasted an hour, the Spaniards
bravely fighting behind cars, but il was
OF no avail, and TO save their lives they
surrendered. The cars that had gone
down caught fire and were entirely de-
stroyed, many soldiers being caught in
them and burned to death. More than
800 troops were found to be missing ant
are supposed to have been killed.
The Cubans lost possibly forty men. All
the prisoners were released, save the Of
Ulcers, who were held for the safety of
eight insurgent Officers at Artennsa, who
had been sentenced to death by the Spanish
commander and Col. Pence, the Cuban
commander, sent word that if these men
were shot he would order his hostages to
be killed, and that twenty of the soldiers
would he shot, too, in revenge for Cuban
soldiers shot there last week. 1t is said
that the Cuban Officers We're released
from Artemisa.

American Bank Checks.

1t has long been the custom for our
local bankers to purchase, almost without
question, checks offered here by travellers,
when drawn on the banks of important
American cities. But the many recent
failures among those institutions, all on
strictly gold basis, have made our solvent
silver standard bankers extremely cautious
and some of them are insisting when a
tourist presents himself with a check to be
cashed that some well-kDown resident
shall declare his responsibility for the
ultimate payment Of the amount In the too
probable case of the worthlessness of the
check.
Having been losers to a considerable
amount in the total our bankers are right
in asking to he fully protected.
What CONNER tary on the declaration
OF campaign orators that only country
on gold basis could be financially s0undi
Here are silver-basis bankers in Mexico
asking with entire reason to be protected
against the too frequent insolvency OF
the gold banks of the Unit 3 States.

pected that the lawyers retained to defend

some insulting remarks about young
woman. She threatened suit against him
for SANDER. He began to rave and act
strangely. Dr.. Jones was called in, and
after an examination stated that Gordy
was suffering from acute mania This was
on September Ia, 1890. The proposed
suit was dropped after the doctor had made
his report. DR.. Jones, In speaking OF the
case, said Gordy had recovered rapidly
from the mania. He was asked if ne be-
lieyed Gordy was shainming, and replied
that doctors thong hit a great many things
about which they could not speak.
Detective Witsil and Attorney General
White have made another search of the
furniture shipped to Gordy and now in
the freight station here. In a drawer OF
a table they found g letter written by
Gordy to Mrs. Lewis last month. 1t re.
ferrcd to her coming to Delaware to live.
Several pieces of jeweiry were among
the other articles found. Attorney Gen
eral White learned last night from de-
tectives whom he had sent to New York
TO investigate Mrs. Lewis life in that
city that she had little money or prop
erty Just before her last marriage Gordy
had heard that she had several thousand
dollars. aud when he found that she had
but little money, it is alleged, the couple

had never taken any insurance on her
life. Attorney General White Is trying
to find out whether or not the murdered
woman's life W as insured.
In the cell in which GoIdy is confined are
five other prisoners, among them one who
will be tried on the charge of numbering
man at Greenwood. One OF the prisoners
went to the warden Monday night and told
him that Gordy had secured a kuife and
might commit suicide When the warden
went to Gordy and asked him for the knife
he denied that he had it He was searched,
but it was not in his pockets The room
was then searched, and the knife was foun d
under the stove. IL is said that Gordy had
complained about it being dull, and had
sharpened it on his shoe. When Gordy Dor
rowed the knife he said ne would want it
two or three days.
A closer watch will BE kept on him in the
future. The prisoners with whom he is con-
fined fear him. Detective witsil says he
would not he s,lrorisetf if fsorly commits

BATTERED BY The STORM
Terrible Experience Of the Danish
Steamer Island.
Fire Put Out by Tremendous Waves.
Some of the woodwork Used
for Fuel.

New York, March 1.-THE Danish steam
er Island, Capt. Thomson, from Scandina.
Wan ports, which was obliged to put into
st. Johns, n. F., short of coal, after
having burned up much OF her wood ork
and some cargo, arrived at quarantine this
morning. Capt Thomson said that in all
bis sea going experience, he never knew
of such a continuation of bad weather as
was met with on this voyage. The gales
followed each other SO fast as to make a
continuous blow.
On March the wind increased to a hur-
ricane and the ship made little if any
Roadway. Tremendous seas boarded the
vessel and swept along the decks, doing
considerable minor damage Seaman Joseph
Kruz was struck by sea and had his leg
broken. Part OF the bridge was carried
away and two lifebOats stove in. Second
Officer Gullesbesk was wept off the deck
and had two ribs broken. Finally a huge
comber struck the second cabin compan-
ionway, lifting it from the deck and com
pletely smashed it. Water poured down
into the companionway, flooding the cabin,
the thrush. Another wave struck the fun
mel, tearing huge, jagged hole in it, and
the water poured down into the furnace
putting out the fires.
Tie vessel rolled fearfully in the trough
of the seas until the fires were again
kindled and steam made, After twelve
hours the weather moderated slightly. On
March 5, the chief engineer reported the
coal supply running short. and the steamer
was headed to the sea TO wait for calmer
weather; but the seas broke continuously
over her, and Capt Thomson fearing she
would founder, bore up for st. Johns, n.
+. Part of the cargo or cabbages and sugar
was tried as fuel to exc out the scant coal
supply, but did not prove of much benefit
Ice was met with and further delayed the
steamer, and when Trepassy Bay was
reached, eighty-four miles from st. Johns.
there was but five tons Of coal left.
Signals were made and responded to from
the shore, and he steamer Grand Lake put
off to the assistance OF the Island, and
furnished her with supply of coal. Re
pairs were made in st. Johns and the
bunkers filled, and the vessel proceeded
to this port without further incident.
On board the Island were George Harbo
and Frank samuelsen, who rowed across
the Atlantic from New York to Havre
last summer. Their 18-foot boat, the Fox,
is securely dashed on the top of the after
deck house.
The Danish oil-tank steamer Christine
arrived this morning from Shields, after
a very tempestuous voyage, lasting twenty
four days. Capt Larsen, of the Christine,
reports that the weather experienced on
the passage was the worst he ever en-
countered. The steamer met a succession
OF tremendous gales, accompanied by ter
rifle seas and furious squalls of snow,
hail and rain.

THIEF WITH A CONSCIENCE
Stole a Bicycle to Get Himself De-
cent Clothing.
VIII Plead Guilty, Suffer the Pen.
atty of His Crime and Try to Re-
habilitate Himself.

thief who said his conscience hurt
binp spent last night In a cell at Lieut.
Kelly's police station His name is George
Rowe. and he was brought from Falls
Church by Detectives Boardman and Helan,
charged with stealing bicycle valued at
500, the property of 7. j. u. Fuller.
Rowe is an intelligent young man, who
came here from Philadelphia. When seen
by Times reporter he said:
Nature never designed me for a thief
i feel awfully bad and my conscience hurts
me because I stole that bicycle / saw
it in hallway. but there was no tempta-
ton TO steal the wheel for the mere
sake Of stealing. But when looked down
at my seedy garments and remembered
bow often had been turned down when
asking for employment ON account of them
something told me to take the wheel,
sell il and buy good clothes; then could
get a situation. This is a cold world and
a mans personal appearanceis everything
Acting on the impulse, mounted the
bicycle and rode block away, when my
conscience prodded me so hard thatI rode
the bicycle back TO the hallway from which
/ had taken it, and disrnounted to re-
place it.
but the same wicked voice whispered
to me, Take it and buy some clothes, and
then you will get work needed the evil
prompter and again mounted and rode the
wheel away, not knowing whittier l was
going. Finally found myself at the vii
iage of Falls Church, where was arrested
by the constable while trying to sell il.
II viii plead guilty to the theft, for
stole the bicycle in my desperation. and
there is no use OF adding lie TO my other
sin. Then, of course, shall go TO prison,
and when my time is out will enter the
army or navy and try TO be good man.
Rowe said he had not tasted food for
forty-eight hours, when he stole Mr.. Full
ler's wheel. He had asked in many places
for work, but his tattered garments were
against him. He also said that Tuesday
he mounted three or four bicycles and rode
them several blocks away, intending to
steal them, but his innat e desire to be
honest oyercame him and he returned them
all
Last night he was almost famished for
food when locked up, and Station keeper
John Garner sent out and got him a hot
supper, which Rove devoured ravenously.
