Mary never had occasion to correct
Dicks grammar, nor reproach him for
breaking his promises; but when, after
her friendly scolding for his forgetful-
ness, Donald said, slyly, something to
| the effect that Dick Wheeler, whoneve
forgot things, was probably the kind of
pupil she had in her school, the kin
O. fellow that pleases you, Mary?" she
tossed her head, and said: "Nonsense!"
and this time with spice of earnest
ness that seemed to please Don very
much.
They had drifted around the break
water, and the dory lay with idle oars,
rocking up and down. Up on the cliffs
was the low, weather-beaten house; it's
faint whisp of smoke leaning with the
wind against the opal gray of the June
twilight. Perhaps the jibes of the men
| at the wharf made Donald say, with
sudden usefulness:
"Well, Dick Wheeler's house is smart
err, must say!"
"oh, it's too Big" Mary objected,
! carelessly; and Donald agreed, with
animation, and said, for his part, he
liked Dick.
After that they We're silent, looking
out across the gray, breathing, lifting
expanse, at the fading crimson in the
west; and a little later they turned
back. When they reached, the foot of
the garden, and he helped Mary out,
Donald held her hand hard in his a
i moment.
You'll mind what I said about
mother, won't you? And-and you
won't go back on me, Mary?"
She looked him straight in the eyes,
and her lip quivered. Take care of
yourself, Dom" she faltered. But he
only laughed, because he was too happy
J to answer her seriously.
j BLESS you! I'm not sugar nor salt.
Then he told her he would come up
) after supper, and they would go to
prayer meeting.
IF you don't forget it," she told him,
sarcastically.
} "Well, that's So" he acknowledged,
humbly enough, 81 must say, I'm good
at forgetting. But I'm coming, just
the same"

Why Donald Hayes should have built
his house so near the water, that the
line OF drift left by the high tide was
tangled in his little picket fence, was a
mystery to the Seaport.

friend. "Ain't you tired of SEEM the
sea, just layin' there? If you was up
here in town you could see the street,
and folks comm and goin'."
''Folks!" said Donald Hayes, with
laugh; "the sea is folks enough for
me-"
"Well, it's easy talking" threatened
the other, good-naturedly, but wait till
you try to get Mary Ellis to live down
on those God-forsaken rocks; Mary, or
any woman, will say-'no, thank YEP
I don't see how your mother stands it,
nohow."
Donald laughed again; he was fine,
vigorous young fellow, with an open,
sunny, handsome face, and mouth
that found laughing easy. Mother
don't mind" he said; and then he
jumped into his dory, which was tied
at the wharf where they had been talk
ing, and went slipping down the little
tidal river towards the open sea. Donald
was not concerned about his chance for
getting wife. MARY won't mind the
rocks" he might have said; but he only
pulled his oars in as he passed a house
near the river, and waved his hand at a
girl up on the bank, who was hanging
tea towels out on tho currant bushes in
the back garden.
''Hullo, Mary!" he called out; and she
came running down the path to the
river. She was pleasant looking girl,
not pretty, but fresh and honest, and
with eyes that knew no secrets. AS
they mot Donald's there was joyous
avowal in them.
Can you get in?" he asked her, as
the dory bumped against the piles that
banked the grass at the end of the gar
den. Mary glanced at him, sidewise.
II thought you were going to take
me out Yesterday"
"Why!" said Donald, II vow! SO I
was. Well, L declare 1 never thought
of it till this minute! All, come on,
Mary; don't be hard on a fellow!"
Mary demurrcd, with that delightful
affectation of indignation at being neg
lected which only the girl who knows
she is loved can assume.
Donald coaxed, rather humbly: "Just

A WOman's Story.

Tacoma, Sept. l4.-Mrs. E. A. Hen.
derson. the first newspaper correspond
ent to make the trip to Dawson City,
returned on the steamer Cleveland from
ST. Michaels. and is visiting friends in
this city. With her little 3-year old
daughter she spent some months in the
mining di.tricts, and gives the Ledger
some interesting experiences in the far
north.
She confirms the report OF the find
ing OF $553.25 nugget, the largest yet
which Nick knutson picked up on No.
SO, Eldorado, and is bringing to San
Francisco on the Excelsior. When the
Excelsior with its reported, but prob
ably exaggerated, cargo Of nearly ST.
900, 900 in dust, reaches San Fran
cisco, she believes the fever will prob
ably reach it's height.
Yet" said Mr.. Henderson, "the
excitement is all on the outside. In
the Klondike country, even this huge
nugget, which is as large as your hand
and almost perfect hatchet-head
shape and seemingly pure gold, did not
greatly excite the miners.
II have been up the Yukon all sum-
mer. From April to June /, four men
took out from No. 10, Eldorado, from
but small part Of the claim, a strip
only 25x7O feet, SAP, 62S. and have re-
Gently sold the claim for $45, 900. This
is, so far. the highest amount got out
of Klondike mine-nearly $50, 900.

Klondike country as rich as reported:'
was prepared to say, 1T can scarcely
be exaggerated but since then l have
seen newspapers, and l reply more eau
tiously. In several papers saw the
statement that somebody had seen five
five.gallon coal oil cans filled with gold
in one winter No one in that coun-
try ever heard OF such a cabin. The
truth is, lifted less than $4,000 OF
dust in a granite bowl with difficulty.
Gold is heavy to bear in more senses
than one.

SERIOUS TRAIN WRECK

FORTY PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES
Passenger Coliidcd with a stock Irai"
Near Denver Damaging Both
atiy-Emporia Wreck.

Denver. Sept. ia special to the
News trum New Castle, Colo. says:
k,r Erauio passenger train No. l, run
u,ns our hour late. collided with Col
oyada Maitland stock extra. | y miles
west IT New Castle. Both engines are
total wreck.
There are in all probability 40
huiuau hc,uSs IN the burning mass.
shortly after tho collision occurred
the baggage. day coach AMI tourist
sleeper caught fire. while one Pullman
AND special car from the Hannibal q
-. Joseph railroad remained on the
track.
The fault is said to lie with the train
crew of the extra.
Details OF the wreck are hard to OBJ
tain. Ii is known that A. Hartman
and wife and two children, of Harshon,
Ill.,. are among the dead; Engineer
Gordon. OF the passenger train; Il. II.
Bedley. postal clerk. and Robert How
lett. passenger fireman, are fatally in
jured. Engineer Ostrander and Fire
man Sutlitf. are missing, and are be-
lievel 10 be buried in the wreck.
So thoroughly are the trains demol-
ished that but few of those caught es-
capped alive, those not killed by the
shock of the collision being burned to
death in the ruins of the cars.
A Rio Grande special, just arrived
from GIenwood, brings doctors and
comforts for the wounded.
The wreck occurred on what is called
the Rio Junction road. This runs from
New Castle to Grand Junction. 1t be-
longs jointly to the Denver q Rio
Grande and the Colorado Midland, be-
ing used by both roads.
Two cars of stock were completely
demolished. and the right OF way is
strewn with dead stock and debris.
Conductor Burbank's explanation OF
the wreck is that in looking at the
passengers leaving time on the card he
looked at the wrong column OF figures.
Two Italians caught in the act OF rob-
bing trunks have been placed under
arrest.
The latest information from the
wreck makes it almost certain that 20
persons are dead, and dozen badly in
jured, fully half OF whom will die.

THE STRIKE SETTLED.
Miners Accept the Pr"p"siti"n Of Pitts
burg Operators.

Columbus, o., Sept. I4.-The great
niners' strike, which was declared on
July 4. was brought 10 an end this
evening, 20 far. at least, az western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia are concerned, by the action
of the convention Of miners which has
been i'm session since Wednesday. After
a day OF voting and wrangllng, the con-
vention voted TO accept the proposition
of the Pittsburg operators. The vote
was 495 for and 3l7 against accepting
the terms Of settlement. and II yOtei
were not cast. The delegates from IL
linois, who had $50 votes, were unani-
mously against the settlement; Indiana
and West Virginia voted solidly to ac-
cept the proposition, but there were
scattering votes among OHIO and Penn
svlvania against it. The resolution is
as follows:
"Resolved That We, the miners OF
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio In
diana and Illinois, in con' ention assem-
bled, do hereby agree to accept the
proposition recommended by our ma
tional executive council, viz 90 cents
in Pittsburg district and all places in
the above-named states where a relative
price can be obtained, to resume work
and contribute literally to the miners
who will not receive the advance, over
which the fight must be continued to a
bitter end.
"Resolved, That the national officers
Of the executive board and district
presidents act as an advisory board for
the purpose Of providing ways and
means for the carrying on Of the strike
where necessary; provided, however,
that no district resume work for 10
days, for the purpose Of giving miners
in other districts time to confer with
the operators and get the price, if pos
sible. !"
The Illinois men will be called in
convention at Springfield, September 10,
to determine what shall be done in
that state.
A resolution was adopted denouncing
the action OF the deputies in firing into
the striking miners at Hazelton.

THE EMPORlA WRECK.
Further Details Of the Accident in
Kansas.

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 13.-Twelve
known dead, one missing probably
incinerated) and IA injured, two Of
whom will likely die, is the record of
the terrible head-end collision on the
Santa Fe. as known tonight. 1t is not
positively known that the list given is
complete. and it is believed that several
were burned to death and nothing left
by which they could be recognized.
The bodies Of IL have been taken from
the debris, three burned beyond recog.
milton.
Nothing could be found of the re.
mains OF the Wells-Fargo messenger.
J. F. Sauer. A handful OF charred
bones taken from the wreck, however,
are supposed to be his. Near them
was found his watch.
Human ghous delved in the burning
wreckage and plundered the baggage
and mail sacks which strewed the
ground. One man tried to snatch a
diamond from the breast of an Emporia
doctor who, weak and nervous, was
creeping slowly out of the debris. He
had strength enough left to hit the
brute blow in the face, which made
him turn with curse and sneak away.
Mail sacks were dragged into the corn
field and rifled.
The report of the Kansas City post
Office is that practically all of the mail
on both the wrecked Santa Fe trains
was destroyed. One pouch, however,
for Southern California, on the west
bound train, is said to have been saved.
This train carried large mai from
New York city 70 California. Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona. No official
report has been received here.
Trains over the Santa Fe will be run
by way Of Ottawa for few days. The
cost of the wreck to the railway is esti-
mated at 800, 900.
AS the passengers and trainmen re-
covered from the shock of the explosion.
they looked for the injured and dead.
Far down in the heaps of debris sound
ed wailing voices of men pleading for
aid While the rescuers were working
to get at the unfortunates, fire broke out
in the wreckage of the forward coaches,
and cry for water went up. Water
tanks were torn from their fastenings
in the coaches that could be entered,
and blood men carried them
over broken timbers to quench the fast
spreading flames. The dead and
mangled bodies OF four victims were
dragged to the grass beside the track.
After herculean efforts, the flames were
finally subdued, and the work Of rescue
made more easy.

party went on an excursion yesterday.
This morning the bodies Of Hyatt, Nc
Queen and Miss Tibbets were found in
a deep pool, clasped together. About
10 O'Clock today Mrs. Hyatt's body
was found 500 yards below, caught in
a barred wire fence. The theory is that
the women were in bathing, and got
beyond their depth, and the men lost
their lives in an attempt to save them.

that the rebels are sure Of success, and
that Barrois will probably resign his
