Four or. five of the regulars were lounging in Abe Dlnkenspeirs place dis cussing the escape of Duncan and spec ulating on the probability of his capture. All agreed that it would be brave man indeed who undertakes to arrest con- demned murderer whose pistol has al- ready been used with deadly effect to es- cape a charge of burglary.
 "All i'd taigs vas leedle nerf," said Abe. "Ef I vas to need Dungan on der highway undt hat gun. I'd poind i'd ad him dis way, undt say: Holt bof your hants ub. undt be tam qvick aboudt 1t, for you vas my brisner.' Den I'd pud some hant guffs his feet on. undt bring him to der Goat House, ded or alif, undt pogget dot fife dundret tollar reward, undt be der biggest man in town, a1retty."
 The "boys" withdrew little later, and within an hour or two one of the number returned and told Abe that he had seen man just from Shades Valley, who told him that three men, looking very like the escapes, were hiding among some rocks just beyond Red Mountain.
 "Leds maig uh resgue pardy undt cabdure dem before eny von else geds on" said Abe.
 The other boys coming in, party of four was soon formed Abe was to be the leader. and was to receive one-half the reward and all the distinction. In con- sideration he was to equip the expedition liberally with refreshments. Just after nightfall they started out, Abe being armed with a pistol, from which all the balls had been extracted, and a pair of handcuffs. The others carried the re- treatments. After crossing. Red Mountain. they quilted the macadam road and plunged into heavy wooded ravine, up which they worked their way for half a mile when camp fire was seen among some huge boulders.
 A council of war was deemed advisable. Red Murphy suggest ed that as Abe was the leader of the party it was meet and proper that he should precede the others, do the talking and inaugurate any gun play that might become necessary. Abe demurred to this.
 "Doap you .vellers know dat in der army der sheneral doan go into der vite- he stays init der background, were der bullets doan come, undt diregs der bro ceedlngs init a migroscope. I vii appoind MT. Murvy my depudy- dy-acding-assistant sheneral, init power to act undt der ut ters will opey him accordingly"
 But the soldiers were mutinous. They accused their leader of cowardice, and declared they would return empty-hand- ed to town and there hold Abe up to ridi- cule of the gang. Under the stimulus of this threat, supplemented by the contents of a flask which had been going the rounds, his valor returned in a measure and he consented to lead 1T the others would follow close at hand.
 Approaching nearer, they saw a lone man sitting by the fire He had not, ap- parently, detected their approach, nor was he unduly purturbed when Abe ex- claimed after numerous proddings and promptings by his packers:
 ''Misder Dungan, will you please trow ub your hants and fleets, undt pud desc guffs your hants on, rite qyick? You vas my brisner, alretty!" sf
 ''Howin'ell my goin' ter put on cuffs with both hands and feet in the aid, you

 The prisoner would not budge. even when the inducements of half the reward and the remission Of the extra five years were offered.
 "Bangi" "Bangl" "Bang" went what seemed to Abe to be a hundred guns. 'Hellupl Hellupi" he cried, but help not coming he went after 1t quadruple- quick, firing his bulletless pistol in the air. His knowledge of woodscraft was limited, but latent instinct from some re- mote ancestry developed itself opportune- Iy. His avoirdupois was no handicap. Tam O6hanter's horseback ride wasn't one-two-three. He set pace that would have winded Mercury. The pursuers, aug mente0 Dy Mutpny dtlQ tne OtHeTS, WnO had detoured, continued the fusilade until Abe distanced them.

DLnkenspeH Captures Duncan

 We'll, iv you will trow ub your hants ub, undt geep dem up. undt vistIe, my vrent, MT. Murvy VIII pud der guffs on vile you vaid."
 Mir Murphy declined the honor, but ex- rssssed willingness to hold the gun on A 'ssoner while Abe did the handcuff-' ing. Duncan" was tractabie enough, and was more or less obliging, otherwise Abe would have never succeeded in putting on the bracelets. for he suffered violent attack of buck agus.
 The prisoner admitted he was Duncan. With two others of the escapes he had been in hiding since Monday morning. His companions had been away from camp some two hours, foraging for something to eat. He was expecting them every minute.
 The party started to town. The capt ure had been so easy that Abe soon re- gained his wonted composure. and inci- dentally his spirit of boastfulness. He threatened, however, to have the, judge give Duncan i've years extra for calling him a catfish.
 "I aindt efen a sugger, vas poys? I will go down to prosperity for dis nids vurk. My pisdure Will be in all der ba- pers undt I'll be Id. Mebbe I'll so on der stage. undt play a piece were cab dures desperado mems init bot hunts. al- retty."
 The sound of breaking twigs indicated that some one was following. Murphy suggested that Duhcan's pals were com- ing to rescue him. and that their pace be accelerated. suiting the action to the word. The. prisoner was disposed to balk. The rescuers were gaining. Mur- phy said 1t would never do to be over taken, as Duncan's friends were heavily armed and dead shots, so he and the oth- CT boys duickened then pace to run. enjoining Abe to keep up and not let the prisoner escape.

CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED. Annual Meeting of Paris MedIcane
 Company, Held at Paris, Tenn.

From the St. Louis Republic.
 The annual meeting of the Paris Medi- cine Company of St. Louis was held last Tuesday at Paris, Tenn. The capital stock was increased to s100000. The state- ments showed that lIe company did the largest and most profitable business of it's career last year. E. W. Grove, the or ganizer of the company was reelected president, A. H. Duncan vice president and F. l.. Seely secretary and treasurer.
 MT. Seely is in charge of the St. Louis office at No. 2624 Pine street. He said the business of the company is growing rapidly, and that it's product has been re- ceived with favor all over the world. The sales of Laxative Promo Quinine last year were nearly 6.00O000 boxes and the prospects are that the number will be greatly increased this year
 The Bromo- Quinine Tablets were first made at Paris. Tenn. The first building was an unpretentious structure. and the tablets were made In small quantities. The merit of the medicine was soon dis covered, and the orders came in so rapid ly that the company was compelled to move Into larger quarters and the small factory gave place to one giving employ ment to large number of persons, so that at the present time they consume ten tons of quinine annually.
 A handsome office and warehouse is maintained in this city. Shortly after the business was established 1t was found ad- visable to make this city principal dis tributing point. MT. and Mrs. seely made a tour of the world, in the interest of the company. and while in Paris. Tenn. Mir. Seely gave two stereopticon. lectures.
 Our readers have no doubt become fa- miliar with the reading notice headed, ITO Cure Cold in One Day" which has Al.x.. ...Y.. A-~. and those who have never used Laxative Bromo- Quinine for cold or grip should give this celebrated remedy trial. Every druggist in the country sells it.

Pete eoss Wants FuII score.

Pete Goss, one of Birmingham's most enthusiastic baseball fans, is working hard to secure a full score of each game by innings while the home club is play ing in other cities. In this connection MT. Goss said:
 Now is the time for the meeting which Is to be held in New Orleans very soon, to make some arrangement with the tel egraph companies for either company to handle a description of the games in de- tail. Of course am the biggest sort of a fan, but there are thousands who pack the park at every game. asking for the same consideration. Let our local man. agement agitate the question and their increased patronage at home games will amply repay their few minutes of dis cussion. If this is done the Southern League season will have the hottest battle history of the sport in the south.'

OFFER TO TIE UP ALL MINES,
Soft Coal Men Make Proposition t.
 Mitchell.

Denver, Col, Oct 10@Telegrams have passed between the officials of the Western Federation of Miners and President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers, looking to @ complete tie-up of all bituminous coal mines in the United States and Canada. The tele- gram of President Meyer and Secretary Haywood of the Western Federation is as follows:
 Exigencies demand that no coal of any kind be mined in the United States until the anthracite strike is won. The Western Federation of Miners will cooperate to this end.
 MT. Mitchell responded:
 Telegram received. Shall give careful consideration to your suggestion. Many thanks for the proffer of cooperation and assistance.
 '"The significance of this correspond ence," said President Meyer, lis far reaching It means that if President Mitchell will call out all his men in ev- cry soft and hard-coal mine in this country and Canada, the Western Fed eration will immediately cooperate with them and withdraw every man we have in the coal mines of the West. Northwest and Canada. And this will mean that the stubborn mine opra tors in Pennsylvania will have to bring this long strike to an end or the people throughout the country will know the reason why. This is the only way to end the troub!e.''

 A feature of the morning session was the reception given to ex-Grand Treas urer w. c. H. Curtiss, of Brooklyn, N. l., WHO IS WlLHOuC uOuDL Cne oldest member in the order
 MT. Curtis was initiated into the mysteries of the order 59 years ago, when quite a young man. He has achieved a successful career having held offices in the order which are en- trusted only to the most trustworthy.
 A rising vote of thanks was given to Rev. Dr. w. A. Credit for the beautiful oration which he rendered yesterday, and which moved the heart of every one who was fortunate enough to be present.
 An appropriation of $75,000 for the purpose of establishing a headquarters for the order in the United States was made. It is proposed to erect a build ing and a committee consisting of the grand lodge officers and directors will select the site Several cities were nom- mated for the home, the principal ones named being Philadelphia, Washington and Louisville.
