LIte,s Tragedy I2nded.


Our readers will recall that about
year ago pretty Miss Minnie
Holmes disappeared overheard a
steamboat on the Monongahela
river, and that after her death it
became known that she and Rev,
White, of Clarksburg, had been in
Pittsburg together under peculiar
circumstances. He was tried by
his church, and discharged from
the pulpit. Yesterday he paid the
penalty of his life's greatest mis-
take. 1t is said he died of con-
sumption, but it may have been a
broken heart OF blasted life had
something to do with. Thus ends
the last chapter in one of the sad
dest tragedies in human life.

An Enterprising English burglar
Who BurgIed To Some
Purpose.

To the social ambition OF burglars
there Is no limit They bicycle TO
suburban crib which they have ar.
ranged to crack, drive dogcarts and
wear gold-rimmcd spectacles. Another
phase Of their desire for higher recog-
milton among the community Is great
ly exercising the mind of respected
resident OF Putney, who returned after
a brief holiday at the beginning OF tho
week to find that in his absence his
house had been visited by at least one
thief who appropriated a quantity Of
plate, a dress suit, two Greek decora-
tions for merit Of which the house
holder was the proud possessor, and
ticket for public dinner TO an official
of golf club who was leaving Eng
land for Australia.
This function was fixed for Tuesday
evening The excitement OF the bur-
glary drove all recollection OF the ban
quet from his head, and il was only
when some friends mentioned how
charming his representative was at the
banquet that he remembered the dis
appearance Of the ticket, which was
marked: Zone guinea; wine included"
Subsequent investigation showed that
the burglar had not only appropriated
the admission card, but actually wore
the gentleman's Greek decorations at
the dinner, where he represented him
self to be the ticket holders cousin,
who was on his holidays, and made
himself so popular among the company
with stories Of his exploits in the late
Greek war that several OF them invited
him TO visit their houses.
And now the real owner Of the deco
rations is trying TO find out all these
gentlemen and warn them Of the dan
ger they run should the false guest
honor them with his presence, because
IL would merely be the preliminary OF
another burglary. He is not quite sure
whether he has succeeded in tracing
all who were attracted by the house

you say, we need all the assistance we

Halstead sent one OF the quarter

few minutes he appeared in the door

that no one was within hearing. the
captain closed the door and said:
Mae, I've known you and Stevens so
long that thought you should be bet

we'd like to have you join with us in a
little speculation. Whether there will
be much Of anything in IL or not we
can't say; in fact. il wouldn't be fair to
raise your anticipations by going into
the particulars. But we are willing to
agree that IL the scheme should be
successful Wen do what's right. |

answer for Stevens. Now, are you will

That's what l thought you'd say,
Mas. Now, il seems TO me necessary
that Stevens should get to Guajan as
soon as he possibly can. He will go
ashore there and start things moving.
Whether we Will be able TO communi-
cate with him again this trip is rather

Mark Twnin's Material for storicA
In Berlin when one pays his fare to

ceiyes a ticket, which is soon afterward
collected by an inspector, who boards
the car at fixed point One day, just
as a joke. Mark Twain paid his fare
10 times on one trip, each time throw
ing the ticket out OF the window or
under his seat as soon as he had de-
posted the regular fare with the con-
ductor A few minutes later the in-
spector would get on the car and de-
mand tickets all around. OF courSs
Twain had none 10 show and had to
buy another, apparently with reluc-
lance. The performance amused the
American. dumfounded the conductor,
who had never met so reckless pas

gers, who thought the foreigner well
punished for his negligence. BY thia
modest investment material was OBJ

cleared the table and spread upon IL an

studying this closely for several mo-

consulted. The conversation had

Develop In the Failure Of A. O. Ingraham,
an Iowa Merchant.
Mount Ayr, Ia, Dec. 9.-The fail
ure of A. o. Ingraham, the largest
merchant in this part of Iowa, is de-
veloping sensational features. It is
now stated by the creditors represen-
tatives that the liabilities are fully
100000 and total assets not over $780,
600. In the three weeks before the fail
ure Ingraham decided away a store at
Shannon City. another at Allendale,
Mo-, besides lands and buildings which
he held.
The creditors announce that they
will undertake to set aside the convey
ances, which they believe were fraudu-
lent. The store has required protec-
ton of officers to prevent people who
had sold produce to Ingraham from 60
ing in and helping themselves to stock.
Already a considerable part has been
taken in this way.
