have been chosen. but the khan had
preferred this simple abode, perhaps
because of its military associations.
Upon the way there Darrell learned
something OF the taking Of the place
through the conversation of an officer,
q friend of Korna's, who had got news
Of his arrival in the city and had come
to greet him. 1t appeared that, though
there is q railroad to Vladlkaukas. the
garrison had not been REINFORCED at
the outbreak of the struggle to the ex-
tent necessary to hold 1t. and, even so,
the force within the walls had retreat
ed upon very small provocation. in the
officers opinion. He said fatty that
the city ought to have been held with
out much difficulty and that the Rus
sian retreat from it ought to result In
court martial or two.
However" he added, 1--WE can't hold
1t, and the sooner we make junction
with Prince Kilzlar the better"
He was surprised to hear from OAR
rell that SO numerous force lay south
of them. According to the best of his
information, no adequate report of the
conditions had reached the khan.
Outside the house of the khan there
was evidence of q good but somewhat
spectacular military discipline. An I'M
necessary number of sentries stood up
on guard, and they challenged all COM
ers in a manner that suggested to Oar
rell the military dramas that he had
seen in his own country. His heart
swelled with pity for the woman he
loved thus playing soldier in this pre-
posterous campaign.
Upon the veranda of the structure he
beheld woman with the figure and
warlike bearing of Brunhilde, but too
old for the role, and he learned that she
was princess who had been sort of
military heroine in the fighting days of
the sixties. This formidable person re-
treated within the house as the party
advanced, but Darrell was glad to have
seen her.
Pausing for moment in the hall, he
was conscious Of q boyish excitement
agreeable to the heart as any touch of
youth is to the man who has seen much
of life. A door opened He heard the
sound of Vera's voice, and the blood
rushed to his face.
The princess sat by long table upon
which We're many documents and maps.
By her side stood gray haired nan IN

l was afraid THAT Kllzlar, VINO knew of
her setreat, would seek me there, and
SO have sent them all farther west.
All, l have ridden long way, my
friend. I think I was asleep in the
saddle when you played the highway
man"
He lay back upon the moss with a
sigh and slumber gathered his head
into her lap as 1t fell. Darrell led the
horse among the trees and then watch
ed beside the sleeper until the sky over
his head began to be silvered by the
rising moon. Then he reused him and
led him to brook where the water ran
cold as ice. Korna drank Of it and then
thrust in his head, declaring afterward
that he was as good as new and fit for
any adventure.
The horse was not in condition to chr.
ry double, but he was perfectly sound
and much refreshed by his rest. Dnr-
rell mounted him, and Korna walked ut
his head. 1t was in the nature of re-
lief for the Circassian to walk after so
long time in the saddle, and to Dars
rell's lame leg the change in method Of
locomotion was grateful as sleep.
They proceeded with caution and ex-
changed but few words. The light Of
morning was in the sky when they
were challenged by the pickets outside
of Vladikaukas, and an hour later they
were both asleep within the walls Of
the city. They had asked to be reused
after two hours of slumber, and this
was done. A breakfast that seemed
fare fit for the gods to Darrell was
ready. and as it was brought in, an or
derby appeared with the information
that Motman Khan would receive them
presently.
Korna looked sharply at Darrell, and
when the orderly had withdrawn he
asked:
"Whom do you expect to see?"
II have no doubts upon the subject"
answered the American. my only
puzzle is the reason for this masquer-
ade.''
1.-THE princess desired to take the
field" replied Korna, "but Kilziar per-
suaded her that she could not do it as
woman. So she took this name of
Motman Khan, which was assumed by
member Of her family during brief
but futile uprising following the peace
of thirty odd years ago"
"He is no fool. this Kilziar," rejoined
Darrell.
ut Is far better-for him-that the
troops should cheer her as Motman
Khan than directly as the Princess
Vera" said Korna. st makes her a
military leader. in which capacity she
cannot hope to rival Kilziar, who is
the best soldier that ever led an army
in Circassia-and say that though 1

rell, why has he permitted this gro

that you have the making of fairly

good enough soldier. in fact. to under
stand this whole situation. 1 have
done my best for my country with my
influence and with my sword. That is
all that can say"
Shall we present ourselves before
the khan?" said Darrell, rising, and
Korna bowed gravely In assent.

To the Ministers of Lee County.

The Journal is, at all times, ready
and anxious. to print notices of marri-
ages and deaths occurring in Lee county.
These ale subjects hat come directly
under the notice of the ministers OF the
churches to which the parties affected
belong. 1t is a source of pleasure to
young people who marry to have NICE
things said of them and of comfort to
the friends of the dead to read OF their
virtues as written by friends. The
Journal freely gives space in its columns
for marriage notices and obituaries and
frequently, in the absence OF these
notices written by friends, undertakes
to do so itself. l. makes no charge for
doing this but performs this service
through respect 10 the families inter
ested. We want to ask the ministers
of the county their aid in this work
and to impress on them the Importance
of an early notice of all such events.
We print today the obituary OF a
prominent and popular young maj who
died several weeks since. We were not
Informed Of this until last week. This
sad event wonld certainly have been
noticed by us had we known OF it
earlier We trust our friends. the
ministers, will feel that it is a part OF
their work to aid us IN this matter.

Negro Woman Killed.

The quiet of the ~peaceable city OF
Guntown was disturbed Sunday evening
by a tragedy which involves some mys-
terry and two negro men were arrested
charged with the killing Neal Bryson
approached the house where his former
wife and Pink DOwd, a negro maj and
another negro woman were sitting on
the veranda. When in a few feet of
Dowd, Neal drew a bulldog pistol and
fired point blank at MIN, the ball strik
ing his coat lapel, but failing to enter
his body. Dowd beat a hasty retreat
into the house and closed the door.
Bryson's wife grabbed the pistol hand
OF her husband and the weapon was
fired into the floor or ground. Bryson
then went around to the window in his
efforts to find Bowd and his wife also
went into the house. Another ball was
fired by some one which took effect in
the woman's neck, breaking it. The re-
port of the pistol brought several to
the house and the woman was found
lying in the room, life being extinct. An
examination by the jury the
following morning brought out the
above facts as we understand. An ex-
animation fthe head failed to locate
the ball which did the deadly work. 1t
is thought that the ball after striking
a bone ranged downward and lodged in
the upper part of the body but it could
not be definitely located. After the
shooting Bryson went to Baldwin
where he gave himself up. He made
a charge against Pink Dowd for the
killing and at the preliminary trial
Tuesday before Mayor Kinds and
Esquire Luther Bryson. there was not
sufficient evidence to hold either OF the
men for murder in the opinion of the
justices. Neal Bryson was placed under
bond to await the action of the grand
jury on a charge of assault upon Dowd.
w. NJ. Cox, Esq represented Bryson
and j, Q. Robins. Esq, appeared for

EXAMINATION OF soUER1EREI
Dr. Hovcy and Professor Jagger Ascend
 the Mountain.

l St. Vincent, B. w. l., Sunday, June i.
 The fine weather that prevailed yes- terday afforded an opportunity ,--yhfSn
 was seized by scientists from the Unit
 ed States now here, to make an ascent
 of the Soufriere volcano. The party consisted of Professor dagger, the geol- ogist, of Harvard Dr. Hovey, assistant curator of the Museum of Natural His | tory in New York, and MT. Curtis. | They were accompanied by local planter, McGregor Macdonald. The ex- plorers succeeded in reaching the sum init of the Soufriere from the western side. The ascent was exceedingly diff ficult, owing to the mud that covered the mountain side, but the ground was cool.
 After a tiresome scramble up the slip perry hill the rim of the old crater was reached at about midday. There was no trace whatever of vegetation, but there had been no change in the topo- graphical outlines of the mountain on that side, and the old crater retained it's tragic beauty. The great mass of water that formerly lay serenely about 300 feet below the rim of the crater has ulShD DItdItu anu tIle tlatci upptdlNu ID be dreadful chasm over two thousand feet deep. With the aid of the glass water was made out at the bottom of this abyss.
 The party did not venture across the summit of the Soufriere to inspect the new crater which was then emitting a little vapor for the ground in that di- rection looked dangerous.
 Apparently the ridge of the mountain called "The Saddle was intact, al- though the old crater seemed of larger circumference than before the recent eruption.
 At the western base of the Soufriere subsistence of a depth of one thousand feet has occurred for an area of a square mile.
 The lava beds on the eastern side of the Soufriere continue to emit steam, despite the protracted and heavy rain- fall that has occurred
 The eruption, the American scientists say, was obviously more violent on the eastern side of the mountain, where the new crater is located than on the west ern side, The Windward district of the island is desolated and the inhabitants, who are afraid to return to their homes, are crowding the city.

LABOR RIOTS IN CHICAGO.
Marks the Progress of Tear "
 ssers Strike.

Chicago, June 2.--Riot and bloodshed marked the progress of the teamsters' strike to-day. There were numerous fights between the police and the strik- CTS and their sympathizers. Street car
 traffic was stopped while the fighting went on, the police and employees of the packing companies were stoned and at one place when surrounded by dence crowd of men and women the police, fifty strong; under the command of Lieutenant Collins, maddened by the numerous stones with which they had been pelted, drew their revolvers and charged full into the crowd, which showed no disposition to retreat. Fists, stones and clubs were brought into requisition by the strikers and the police used their batons and the butt ends of revolvers freely. When this fight was over there were a number of strikers needing surgical attendance. None were dangerously injured as far as known, however. and the wounded strikers were carried off by their friends. The fight ing began on the westside shortly after noon and in different parts of the city continued practically all of the after- noon.
