at last discovered the specifications Of
the architect who rebuilt the castle for
Robert de Raveneau, Selgncur de Kerr
GuipaFch, toward the end OF the severn
teenth century. In the estimate thou
sand francs were set down for the benz
eht Of a certain Italian mechanic. who
fixed the moving platform on the ball
conV in the Louis XII. tower"
COurtballes looked up the record OF
the said Sir Robert, and found that he
bore the reputation Of q cruel aud crafty
lord. who was the terror Of his enemies
and subjects alike. While he held forth
at Castle Ker-Gulvarch, his residence
was known as the 'house Of mysterious
disappearances," and twice Sir Robert
had been summoned before the king to
defend himself against charges OF MUIR
der--the murder OF men high in office,
who were known to have been at Castle
Ker-G ulVarch, but never returned.
However. nothing could be proved
against him.
Now, after centuries. Coirtballes held
the murderer's last win and testament
IN his hand, which, according TO the
testator's provisions. must be communi-
Gated to every successive head OF the
Raveneau family. It's main article read
as follows:
''For the benefit OF myself and my
successors. ] have constructed. in the
balcony OF the Louis III. tower OF my
good Castle of -Gulvarch, a death
trap. viz, moving platform. one nag
stone on the eastern end Of the balcony
is safe. the rest looking towards the
west turn about themselves as soon as
a heavy body steps upon them. In this
way one may invite an enemy or a
brace Of them, to the balcony, and. by
taking the precautlon to hug the east
ert extremity. sec those hated parties
drop to their death, for the sea beneath
the balcony is set with ragged rocks
and the water theteRbouts several
fathoms deep. The victims will plunge
into the crevice OF the rocks, which hold
them fast, and have never seen one
rise again. He who does will drown
anyhow"
Count Raveneau was the head OF the
family. Doubtless he knew the secret
OF the Louis XI. tower. He murdered his
wife and committed suicide, being con-
WINGED that his crime would be buried
with him. N. de courtbalies mas en-
gagged divers to search the deep for
traces OF his beloved one.

That the Count and Countess had visit

there could be no doubt. The whole VIII

After that VI. DO Cuurtbuiies listened
more patiently to the ghost stories told
Of Castle Kor-Gulvareh. The vlllaNcrs

entered the ruins during the last fifty or

any satisfactory explanation for tho

A party of Frisco officials composed CT
General Manager B.. +. Yoakum, Superin-
tendent of Transportation A. j. Davidson,
Claim Agent w. B.. Spalding and Division
Superintendent A. O'Hara, have been
spending the day in Kansas City look
ing after the interests of the road. The
law in this state requires the state board
of railroad commissioners to inspect every
new railroad and the Frisco officials are
here to conduct them over the Kansas
City branch. Other than this the visit of
the officials has no special significance.
Mr.. Yoakum said his road expects to
bring a large excursion party to Kansas
City tomorrow OH the reduced rates that
are in effect. Just at present. the successor
to p. L. Winchell is not being considered.
as the date of Mr.. Winchell's resignation
has not yet been made known.
Mr.. Yoakum is well pleased with the
volume of business that is being done by
his road out of Kansas City, and speaks
we'll of Mr.. Donahue's work here.
The party. accompanied by the railroad
commissioners leave OF the inspection of
the road as far as Springfield at I o'clock

NO WORD FROM THE TERESA
Vulcan Is Fully Equipped to Make
Necessary Repairs to the
Cruiser.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-No Additional
details were received at the navy depart
ment to-day concerning the condition of
the Spanish warship. Teresa, but it is
assumed that the ships Potomac and Vul-
can. which were sent to her relief. are u.s.
ing their utmost endcavors to draw her
off the beach at Cat island into deep water.
with a view to towing her TO n place of
safety in the United States. The report
that the tide rose and fell within the wreck
would seem to indicate that she is in need
OF extensive repairs before she can be made
TO float. Whether the leaking can be
stopped while she lies in her present posi-
fion in two fathoms of water remains to
be seen. The Vulcan is equipped with all
the tools and machinery for the ordinary
repair of ships of war. and. unless the
Teresa is damaged to a greater extent than
is believed to be the case. the facilities at
hand are sufficient to repair her and put
her in condition TO be towed to a United
states port, when the conditions of wind
and tide are favorable.
When the wrecking expedition returns to
the United States. with or without the
Teresa. an Investigation will be instituted
10 determine the necessity and response
biii:y for the abandonment of the Teresa

NEW YORK HORSE SHOW ON.
John 5. BrattOn's Sampson Among the
Winners-Rig Crowd in At
tendance.

NEW YORK. Nov. H.-The opening day
of the Horse show was suspicious. The at
tendance in the afternoon was sparse. but
in the evening the big ampitheater of
Madison Square garden was crowded to its
capacity with spectators. The boxes were
all filled. and all doubt as to the social
success of the show was removed.
The judging of the green hunters at the
JUMPS was the feature of the night show.
The antics of the youngsters, who de-
clined altogether to take the hurdle or
who decided not to do so just as they got
up TO the fence, to the discomfort of The
riders, was enjoyed hugely by the specta-
tors.
At IL o'clock began the preliminary trial

ard jumpers being brought out. George

first to make a try. Then came ]. ".
Colts Othello. a glistening black beauty.
George PEPPERS oueensberry, the Elk

Quiller brought out the applause of the
spectators
The jumping ended at 1880. In the green
hunters. George Peppers Crow II. and
John Shea's Mr.. Melrose were %disGuali-
fed. and John S. Bratton's Big Casino and
George Peppers Bonnie Lassie did not
fed except Adam Beck's Lady E!gin. J.
s. Bratton,s Granite George J; Gould,s
more. George Peppers King Crow got
the blue ribbon.
The bugle was blown at 2 o'clock for

the audience. John S. Brattor's Sampson,

Gle. C. +. Bates rode behind his CoXey, in
a cart with yellow wheels. Bratton's
Sampson won the blue ribbon. Bates
Coxey went out with the red ribbon and

went to Lady Ursula.
The afternoons judging of the horses
was so delayed that the last afternoon
class was just off the tan bark when the
time for the evening classes to come on
arrived. Horses and private cabs. saddle
horses. high Steppers and green hunters
were the horses Judged tonight.
