you mean? Have you beer dreaming?
I was not in the library last night. AL

AS in a maze, Beatrice began to see
the workings of his plot-less dimly.

labyrinths. 4.
But the curtain which had concealed
from her the very possibility Of human
w~ickedness, so c%unningly devised and
lifted, and even this indistinct view
with dread.
She made him no further reply.
I~nvoluntarily, h looked toward AL
len. With studious care he was select

Lorrimer's plate. Mrs. Layton sat quiz

the conversation. Cora's glance alone
met hers. 1t was full. of tender sympa-

She was calm now, but it was a calm
more pitiful than the excitement which
had preceded it.
With despairing gesture she pushed

ing rings of sunny hair from the low,
white brow, as though their weight op
pressed her.
What can I do?" she said, again.
"'What can I do? Oh, BERTHE! BERTHE!
have you, too, failed me?"
Just once, h thought, to lay her
tired head on his faithful breast-oh,
God, to close her eyes and die there!
What greater bliss could be offered her?
It could not be that, knowing her great

to let him know this need.
"Bertie, come to me-" she wrote.
''Come in h guise you promised to as

Oaks. 1 am back in the cruel web of
the Ubiquitous spider. Closer and closer
he is binding with his merciless withes
my 1uttering wings. They will soon
cease the struggle. Hasten to save me
before 1t is too late!"
Even to write the words brought her
some relief; but, having written them,
how could her message reach him?
AS she put to herself the perplexing
question, a low knock sounded on her
door.

PERJURY is THE
CHARGE NOW MADE
Warrants Issued for T. ]. Coyne, ST.
mon Thomas and Morris v. Nor
ris, ex-Councilmen.

r. j. Coyne and Simon Thomas, for
mer select councilmen, and Morris v.
Morris, former common councilman,
had informations lodged against them
yesterday before Alderman Fuller by
the Municipal League, charging them
with perjury. The warrants have
been issued and Mr.. Coyne was arrest
ed yesterday by Officer Huff'ing, of the
League. Messrs. Thomas and Morris
are out of the city and the warrants
have not yet been served upon them.
The charges are based upon the tes-
timony given by these men at recent
hearings in the cases against other
councilmen in which they swore they
never received money or anything else
of value for their vote in councils and
that they knew of no efforts to cor
rupt councilmen. All three of the men
resigned their seats in councils to put
an end to the cases against them which
were being pushed by the Municipal
League in which they were charged
with soliciting and accepting bribes.
Mr.. Coyne was given n hearing yes
terday afternoon. Detective j. s. Har-
ris. of New York. was called, who tes-
titled that in May last he had some
negotiations with Coyne by which the
latter was to get fourteen votes in
select council for the amendment of
the license tax ordinance then before
that body and receive Sl,400 when the
ordinance passed second reading, and
as much more when II was passed
finally and signed by the mayor, the
intention being that each man should
receive 5000.
On May IA at S.50,p m. Harris said
that Coyne came to his room in the
81, 400 be paid over on the following
Saturday. Coyne remarked that he
was hard up and Harris gave him SO
on account which Coype accepted and
placed in his pocket
+. A. Whitney, who is employed by
the Sawyer detective agency of New
York, with which Harris is also con-
nected swore that he was in the room
adjoining No. "a on the night of May
II and saw Harris give Coyne the $50
He also heard the conversation that
passed between the men.
At the hearing the league was repre-
sented by Attorneys j. II. Torrey and
F.. c. Newcomb and Mr.. Coyne by At
torney Joseph O'Brien. After the tes-
timony of Harris and Whitney had
been heard Mr.. Newcomb asked that
Mr.. Coyne be held in bail. The alder
man fixed the bail at $500, and it was
furnished by ex-Patrolman Martin
Flaherty.

GODS BOOK.
Clergy and Presidents Meeting.

A. meeting of the clergy, all denom-
nations, and the presidents of the
beard Of trade, all hospitals and char
liable institutions in the city Of
Scranton will be asked to meet in the
immediate future in the interest OF
charity. The date, time and place will
be given in tomorrow's issue Of this
paper.
"A clergyman from each church
or denomination will be expected to
attend the meeting because they all
have the welfare Of our charitable in
stitutions at heart.
The presidents OF the charitable in
stitutions will be there because they
not only want. but need, all the as
sistance that they can get.
The president of the board of trade
will naturally be there because he is
evei ready to benefit our business pub
lie and the community in general.
Al the meeting 1t will be shown that
to very materially assist our charitable
institutions, some Of which are very
much in need, and not have it cost
them one cent.
Why? Because, all they need do
to bring the result about is to
simply give their regular patron
age to the directory that l will pub
lish this year, the entire profits OF
which will be given to lessen the needs
of our charitable institutions, which
the public must necessarily support
any way.
There can be no doubt but that by
exerting its influence In extending pat
ronage to the project, this public can
astonish even itself, by the amount
that can thus be made available for
our charities.
Further, the cost being so much less
this year, in order that every business
person or firm can afford to advertise
and subscribe, 1t will be q saving to
those who must have a directory and
who usually advertise in It.
subscriptions. without advertising,
only $3.50. With your full business
card. only $780, Advertising only
about two-thirds usual rate. hence the
saving, from usual prices, and the
greater the volume of subscriptions
and advertising warranted.
In giving your patronage, remember
you are giving 1t to the community, to
God, and humanity.
This is to be no individual property,
1t 10 to be the peoples directory, pub
lished by and for the people of scran-
ton. yearly; and no persons name will
appear upon or In II as owner. or
publisher. 1t is to be Gods book; and
every business man with a heart
should, and / believe will, give II his
patronage. w. #. Smythe,

BEFORE BREAKFAST.

It is probable that more people have grown
familiar with the needs and aims of the chill
dren's ward in the Iackawanna hospital through
the mute testimony Of the little wooden cradles
which are seen in every business place, than
they could possibly have done otherwise. Main
ly through the untring cxcrtions oi the enter.
prising lady, whose heart has been in the work,
the childrens ward is all accomplished fact.
Largely through her efforts it has been equipped
and stands complete for service today.
Among the contributions to the various APP
pointments connected with this charity none
has been more valued than the invalid chair,
Christmas gilt from No. 80 school.
Many Of the pupils in this school come from
humble homes but ever before their eyes have
been the pathetic scenes attendant upon an in.

the windows and perhaps have more than once
heard the wailing cry of suffering from the poor
Tiny mortal who was meant to be happy and
light'heartcd. No wonder that these pictures
daily painted in sombre tones on their narrow
horizon touch the kind hearts of the small peo-
pie who throng the great school building on
Franklin avenue. They gave s35 for that soft
footed chair moving noiselessly on its muftled
wheels, and in many days to come they will feel
thrill of pride at the sight Of some pallid child

ton of your honorable committee to the
inclosed statement of SUBSIDY to which
the Oahu Railway and Land Company
is entitled and which becomes due dur
ing the current biennial period, the
amount of which is $7s.SOo.
The wisdom of the Legislature of 1890
in granting this aid to the Q. r. & l..
Co. has been fully justified by the vast
amount of taxable property which has
come into existence through the con-
struction of TINS road. The road would
never have been built without the sub
shy. If it had not been built. the Eva
and waialua districts would have re-
NAMED undeveloped to the present time.
The question before your honorable
body at the present time is not should
the subsidy have been granted, but sha.i
default be made?
The credit of the Government was
pledged to assist in the construction OF
this railroad. Bonds were sold and pur-
chased by the public, and obligations
were entered into on the faith of this
undertaking on the part of the Govern
ment The subsidy therefore became a
part of ,ne national obligations standing
exactly on the same footing as the ma
tional debt. Default cannot be allowed
| to take place IN the payment of the one
| any more than of the other without i'm
pairing or destroying the credit of Ha-
wall.
| We therefore beg to submit this mat
| ter to your attention in order that the
proper appropriations may be made, and
to prevent any default through over
sight. Respectfully yours,
