when the grasp should fail and her

1t was on the night Of the second day
that a scene took place which has never
been forgotten. The sun fell away at
eve with peculiar splendor turning

grandeur along the west Yet the squaw
still hung by the branch Of the pine,
and her cries alternately rose through
the deep stiffness that reigned around.
But soon a leaden haze began,to rise
along the azure wall of the west and
was shortly succeeded by dark, dismal
looking clouds, around whose edge the
lightning played, as if to light them on
in their sad and gloomy pathway. The
thunder muttered family, then sent its
roll up to the meridian, and finally,
with increased power, cracked and shook
through the very heavens. The shrek
of the squaw was heard in the profound
pause after the roar had died away. but
its echoes stirred not the sympathies of

struck by thunderbolt, setting it on
fire, which, being parted from the cleft

deputy United States marshal for the
southern district of Kansas, sends in
this story:
Mart Hoover years ago, when Kansas
was not the cultivated commonwealth
it has since become, had sent consign-

credit is $27. 40. Draw on me at sight. !"
But Hoover was mad. He had ex-
pected his money, and none came. He
felt he had been duped, and he treasured
up the grievance One time, about six
weeks later, the commission man came
to Hoover's town. got out of the bus
and started to walk down street. Hoo
yer saw him and instantly drew his re-
volver and fired. His eye was fairly
good. The bullet cut away the mer-
chants neoktie and unfastened his col

Then Hoover put up his gun.
That's expensive shootin, said he,
"but reckon you're as sorry as am. !"

town constable, arresting the gun man.

Allen Does Not Believe That the Recall

Another Chance.

Washington, May l3.-The Senate
committee on foreign affairs was in
session two honrs this morning, going
over Cuban correspondence that was
laId before the sub committee at Sec
retary Sherman's residence last night.
The work was not concluded this
morning. I he committee adjourned
until all correspondence can be fuIly
considered. No decision was reached
as to what part of the spondence
is to be made public.
There is no doubt but what the
President and Secretary Sherman are
preparing to announce vigorous Gu
ban policy, as soon as a report from
Special Commissioner Calhoun is re-
ceived.
Senator Allen this morning read the
questions before the Senate which Bro
ker Chapman refused to answer at the
last sugar investigation. Senator
Faulkner, in a speech, declared be
was against any pardon for Chapman.
Senator Allen publicly annou need
he was not willing to let Chapman GO
free because such actlou would shield
the powerful trusts.
Senator White, of California, made
bitter speech against Chapman and
advocated that he be again summoned
and compelled to answer the ques-
tions.
The Senate foreign relation COM
mittee adjourned after protracted
conference. The Senate is very re-
ticent, owing to the serious character
of advices laid before them by Secre-
tary Sherman.

and Hooker, which accounts for the

9, and transfers the key of the dead
lock from the pocket of Raney to that
of Hooker. Raney's withdrawal was
announced at 10 O'clock, and from that
hour until noon the lobby was

When the vote was ANNOUNCED, an

HIS LAST, LONG VOYAGE.
Captain Weaver, The Popular Mariner, Died
Here Yesterday.

All the vessels in the port of Bruins
wick will fly their flags at half mast
today, as a token of respect to the
memory of genial, whole souled Cap
tain Joseph B. Weaver, who embarked
on his long, uncharted voyage yes
terday at the home of Captain s.
S. B. Alexander.
Captain Weaver was the master of
the American schooner Myra B.
Weaver, and came into what has
proved to be his last earthly port
about three weeks ago. A few days
after his arrival, he Yas attacked with
a complicated case of BrIght's disease,
and was taken to Captain Alexander's
residence to spend the period of his
illness. DIR. II. BurfOrd did all that
was possible to save the captains life,
but lt was IN VAIN.
Captain Weaver was one of the reg
ular visitors co Brunswick and had
made many friends among the citl-
zens. He was very popular among
his felIow-csptains and many mar
lner will feel pang of pain at the
mention of his death.
The deceased leaves a wife and three
children at Bath, Me. his home. Yes
terday, after his death, number of
his friends among the ship captains
in port communicated the sad news to
the family, but no response has been
received. 1t was decided late yester-
day afternoon to ship the remains to
Bath, via the Mallory liner Colorado,
which sails tom 0rrOw.
Captain Weaver was a Mason, and
also Kuight Templar. Ocean Lodge
of this city will probably escort the
remains to the steamer this afternoon.
