Brewer and Thorndyke called the

great stress on the alleged fact that
no one was able to say whether it be-

CHAPTER TX.


Sullivan's public-house. the thorn in
every squatters side for thirty miles
around. was small wooden shanty
consisting of four or five rooms. At
the back was a building containing
ten or twelve sleeping hunks This
was called the dead-house. as II was
used chiefly for putting customers into
when they were dead drunk. Outside
the house, facing the mail-track. was
verandah. If a continuation of the
shingled roof supported by rough posts
stuck into the bare earth could be
dgnified by the name.
Beneath the shade OF this rough
verandah, one hot afternoon. lay two
or three drunken wretches overcome
by the fumes OF the lightning rum. In
side the bar were five or six bushmen
busily engaged in throwing dice for
drinks. "Odd man out" was the game,
and at the rate OF one shilling per
nobbler the amusement could hardly
be considered a cheap one, especially
when the after-effects of the light
ming" upon the consumer were taken
into consideration.
Very few station hands on their way
down to town ever succeeded in getting
past Sullivan's; some had attempted
It score of times and failed. Even
before the unhappy pigeon had arrived
the news was brought that Long
Jim" was going down to Sydney with
big cheque."
Let me see-Jim must have been
over two years now on the station
since he had his last burst" the bloat-
ed-looking rufian of landlord would
remark. Il dare say he's got over
hundred pounds!" And when Long
Jim hove In sight he was sure to be
hailed by half score OF loafers and
pressed to stop the night.
No-he had determined to push on to
the next stage. His horse was fresh.
and he was anxious to get on. Well.
he would stop and have plate OF soup
and bite? No-he had got some
tucker" with him.
cat any rate you'll have a drink 7''
some one would cry.
No, he was "on the teetotal tack"
well, you amt a-goin' off like that
without shoutin'. Jim!" one of the
loafers would suggest.
Shout" the pigeon would cry, thus
probed in his weakest part "Of
course I'll shout There's nothing
mean about me. anyhow What are
you all going to have? Drinks all
round, and one for yourself. Sullivan :"
"You must have a small drain, too
jim, just to show that there's no Ill
will, you know" the landlord would
suggest.
ooh, not for me, Sullivanl know
your game OF old. Well. just to show
there ain't no animosity, give me q
small drop of what you've got. Here's
better lucki"

Talk of shafter,s Retiring.

San Francisco, July 16.-Major Gen
eral Shafter will have reached the age
limit in about three months, and it is
said his friends are working quietly,
but none the less energetically, to SO
cure his retention in the service for a
few years longer. The friends of the

STREET CAR STRIKE.
The Rapid Transit Lines of Brooklyn are
Tied Up.

Tied Up.
New York July 1S. Another trolley
strike is on in Brooklyn. SO far It has
not been as effective as the strike of
1893, but there is no telling how far
reaching it may become. For weeks
past the employees of the several lines
controlled blythe Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit company have complained that the
management did not respect the ten
hour law. The men demand revision
of the time tables at the different
barns and also claim that they should
be paid 20 cents an hour for overtime,
which is equivalent to s2 per day,
the price which they set for working
day of ten hours. Meetings have
been held daily and nightly for the
last week and 1t was inferred from
the reports given out by the employ
ees and their advisors since Thursday
last, that while strike was imminent,
it would not occur for some days to
come.
General Master Workman Parsons and
District Master Workman Pines had
charge of the mems affairs and a strike
was called at 4:3o Sunday morning.

masters arranged the race. Allowance
was made for the difference in time of
departure, but Notwithstanding over
two weeks elapsed between the de-

all three vessels arrived within few
hours of each other, with the St.

peace conference has adopted a reso-

credited to Holland instead of minis

have the effect of bringing in the

WOMAN'S AWFUL DEED.
Killed Her Mother, Wounded Her Husband
and Took Her Own Life


Libertyville, ILL.,, July 1s.-Following
a family quarrel, Mrs. George Treiter
shot and killed her mother, wounded
her husband and killed herself. The
quarrel was precipitated by long stand
ing family troubles. Hot words were
exchanged during the morning between
the mother and daughter, and Treiter
also became involved in the discussion.
Mrs. Treiter stepped into the bedroom
and appearing with a pistol opened
fire on her mother. The first shot was
fatal, and the husband, springing for.
ward to disarm his wife, received three
wounds that sent him from the house
in retreat. After leaving the house he
heard two more shots, the ones thai
killed his wife.
