THE REVENGE OF MURPHY.
nY LANES RARNEs.

Copyright 1860. by James Barnes)
No one knew the immediate locality
that had produced trooper Murphy. He
claimed he was a New York "bhoy," and
held to the distant metropolis as were
it his native heath and natural stamp
ing ground. But such a brogue as Muir
phys could never have been simply an
Inheritance. 1t had the touch of the sod
in it, and his first prattlings must have
been heard in the thick atmosphere OF a
smoky, peat-saturated cabin.
Murphy had just squeezed by the reg
ulations as to hight, and certainly was
not more than one or two pennyweights
over the prescribed limit when placed
upon the scales But he was compactly
built and natural born cavalryman; he
walked with an easy swing, and, IL his
legs were slightly bowed, what of that?
The first sergeant said that Murphy had
"glue legs, the kind that fit to horses
ribs"
Murphy was a favorite. too His laugh
was catching. He had merry little high
pitched voice and dancing blue eyes, and
red hair, as crisp and thick a rock
lichen. If it had not been for this heavy
shock of hair, Murphy's captain said, he
would have never succeeded in passing
the examining sergeant. There was a full
quarter of an inch OF it. All this goes to
show that Murphy was but feet 4, and
that he weighed under $50 pounds. So
much for his personal appearance. As to

this afternoon and explain what he is

Very good, sorr."
Lieut. Carter went back to his quarters,
unearthed the newspaper, strolled out on
the veranda, and read on for an hour Now
he chuckled to himself. All at once the
bugle rang clear and high, and some move
ment was detected in the direction of the
barracks. officers strolled out buckling on
their sidearms, and some ladies with par
asols and bright chintz dresses, left the
houses and strolled over in the direction
of the ColoneIs quarters at the head of
the parade ground, where in the evening
the Colonefs pretty wife poured tea.
The bugle blew again ard with a clank-

had grown little cooler and the shad-
ows had heightened. but it was hot
enough to make men grumble, and grum-
BILE they did as a matter of course. The
line was formed. The colonel mounted his
horse, and the officers rode out before
their companies, and then the band came
humping and Jingling down to the front
to take their position on the end of the
line. 1t was a fortunate thing that the
bass drummer did not have to blow a
horn. His great face had a slightly puff
ed appearance, and his lip protruded over
his tlne white teeth that were firmly set
as he cursed beneath his breath at the
horse he rode, which had a way of sid
ling very different from the staid, brown
nag that had just been consigned to the
hospital. AS the drummer passed Lieut..
Carter the latter glanced at him.

oaks, where the ex-actor in the high So
prano voice for which he was once cele
brated. chants a weird hymn of the spirit
land, the refrain being caught up by the
deep voices of the other four.

strangeness of the scene. The cold moon

THE FIVE sEERs OF DESCANso.
Live Apart From the World in a
BucoIic California Settlement.

San Francisco, Feb. BIN a fair. Sc
cluded valley of the Cuyamaca mountains
of Southern California is one of the
strangest settlements of five old men. of
whom the eldest is over so and the young
est not less than s..
Many years ago DIR, Myer, a prosper
Gus physician OF Kansas, and a lawyer
friend were converted to the tenets of
spiritualism and decided to place them
selves entirely under the guidance of the
occult. Being joined by a retired actor
who at one time had been well known on
the New York stage, the three were "di-
rected" to journey westward, where in a
to pursue that ideal life in communion
with the unseen to which they so
earnestly aspired.
Disposing Of their interests in Kansas
they set forth and finally arrived in south
ern California, where they each took
up adjoining claims in the Descanso dis
trict. To this was shortly added two
other claims taken up by an ex-rninister
and an eX-policeman, who Joined the con-
fraternity-the whole tract of 800 acres
embracing one of the most fertile and pic
turesque little valleys in that part of the
country.
Erecting their future homes at the head
of the valley under a splendid grove Of
live oaks and surrounded by high brush
covered hills. they proceeded 10 engage
in agriculture under that spiritual guild
ance which they claim 10 be the source
of twenty years of success and happ-
ness.
Being vowed to celibacy and community
interests, each of the old men presides
over a department of their affairs, while
the doctor supeIintends the farming oper-
atoms; the lawyer, perhaps naturally,
keeps account of the finances. The min
lister rules in the kitchen over their SIM
pie cuisine, and the actor mends all the
clothes and also takes care of the beauti-
full garden surrounding the house. The

professional experience by keeping all In

ing the White House the other day. He re-
ferred to the three gilded balls at the top
of the iron ornaments between the large
northern posts of the White House portico

these balls with the object of ascertaininS
why they were placed In that position;

intention of Col. Bingham, superintendent

place these balls with pretty vari-colorei
electric lights, which will look well IN the
daytime and attract much attention at
night.

According to the Times-Republican
some young man from Oskaloosa,
whose name is not mentioned, came
near having to answer to a charge of
murder. In company with George
Auer he went into a saloon there
Friday night and got into a racket
with one DIR. Siebert. The young
man drew a revolver and fred square
at Siebert's head, the bullet grazing
Siebert's eyebrow and breaking the
glass in the door of the saloon. Auer
and the young man disappeared, and
as Siebert says he will not prosecute
them, they will likely not be search

BLIZZARD RAGING.
Northwestern Pennsylvania Expert
ences the Effects of a Furi-
GUS Storm.

Cory, Pa, Dec. 3O.-A terrific bliz-
zard, the worst in years, has been rag
ing in northwestern Pennsylvania for
the past "a hours and still continues.
About eight inches of snow has fallen
and with that already on the ground
makes the depth on the level four
feet. Many villages are cut off from
the outside world. All the roads lead
ing into this city are blocked, the
stages which carry the mails from
Rating and Findlay Lake being
showed in. All the railroads are suf-
fering. The Western New York &
Pennsylvania through trains between
Pittsburgh and Buffalo were hours be-
hind time, the huge drifts at Sum-
merdale and Angola being impossible.
The Erie and the Pennsylvania are
faring a little better, although their
trains are late. On all roads huge
snow plows, such as are used in the
west, are running, but fail to keep the
tracks clear. 1t is not known what
the outcome of the storm will be, for
the snowfall continues. No loss of
life is reported. The Thermometer
registers about zero.

AT SEA.
Ship in Perilous Condition and
Rescue Impossible.

Dungeness, Eng. Dec. 30.-Early
today life ave succeeded in re-
establishing communication by means
of a rocket apparatus with the big
liner which came ashore late yester-
dav in East Bay between Dungeness
and Dover. 1t was learned she is
the Pelotas of Hamburg of the Amer
lean line from Santos to Brazil, for
Rotterdam and Hamburg. The ships
officers signal they we're in urgent
need of assistance, but as yet no life
boats have been able to breast the
terrific sea to reach the stranded
what but the sea continues heavy.
Life savers at Dover and Folkstone
have made several heroic efforts to
reach the Pelotas, but their boats r
hurled back on the beach. Several
tugs are reported to have left Dover
for the stranded vessel, but they
have not yet put in an appearance.
The outlines of the Pelolas can just
be made out the headland here.
She is lying about a mile and a half
off shore apparently on her beams.
The vessel has washed a little furth-
er in-shore since daylight. Her pos
ition is perilous and she cannot stand
pounding much longer. The Pelotas
cargo is being jetsoned preliminary
to an attempt to reioat her at next
tide. 1t is believed no lives have
been lost, although none of the.pass-
engers have been taken off. One
report says there are 500 passengers
aboard.

Blind Man Who ChOked His Wife to
Death Shown to Have Acted
in SeIf-Defense.

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 3O.-Franklin B.
Livingston, the blind man, who late on
Christmas night s%trangled his wife,
Dora Livingston, and on the following
day paid a man a dollar to lead him
to the police station, was discharged
from custody Friday by Judge Stock
bridge. His attorney asked that he
be released on the ground that the
%coroner's jury had decided that the
murder was committed in self-defense,
and tat the commitment of the cor
oner, CT arging Livingston with murder,
was defective. Judge ~Stockbridge
took this view and dismissed the pris-
oner. The evidence before the cor
oner's jury showed hat Livingston had
been attacked in the middle of the night
by his wife and that he choked her to
death to sav his own life.
