ed spy and resisted arrest. She must be punished"
 Farnsworth knew Hamilton's nature, and he now saw that Alice was in dreadful danger of death or something even worse. No sooner had he left l headquarters and given Barlow his in- structions touching the hunting expedi- ton than his mind began to wander amid visions and schemes by no means consistent with his military obligations. Tn order to reflect undisturbed he went forth into the dreary, lanelike streets of Vincennes and walked aimlessly here and there until he met Father Beret. Farnsworth saluted the old man and was passing him by when, seeing sword in his hand half hidden in the folds of his worn and faded cassock, he turned and addressed him:
 "Why are you armed this morning, 1 fatherY he demanded very pleasantly. 'sWho is to suffer now?''
 q am not on the warpath, my son." replied the priest. "It is but rapter that am going to clean of rust spots l that are gathering on its blade" l s'Is it yours, father? Let me see it" He held out his hand.
 No; not mine.''
 Father Beret seemed not to notice Farnsworths desire to handle the weapon, and the young man instead of repeating his words reached farther, nearly grasping the scabbard.
 T cannot let you take it, my son." said Father Beret. You have it's mate. That should satisfy you.'
 "No; Colonel Hamilton took it." Farnsworth quickly replied If I could I would gladly return it to it's owner. am not thief, father, and I am ashamed off -vof-what did when I was drunk
 l The priest looked sharply into Farms worth's eyes and read there something l that reassured him. His long expe- rience had rendered him adept at talk 1 ing mans value at glance. He slightly lifted his face and said: ' "Ah, but the poor little girl! Why do you persecute her? She really does l not deserve it. She is a noble child. l Give her back to her home and her peo- pie. Do not soil and spoil her sweet life"
 1 It was the singsong voice used by Father Beret in his sermons and pray CTS, but something went with it inde- scribably touching. Farnsworth felt l lump rise in his throat, and his eyes were ready to show tears. 1 Father he said with difficulty, making his words distinct, T would not harm Miss Roussillon to save my own life, and would do anything He paused slightly, then added with passionate force, t'I would do anything, no matter what, to save her from the terrible thing that now threatens her."
 Father Berets countenance changed curiously as he gazed at the young man l and said:
 If you really mean what you say you can easily save her, my son.
 Father, by all that is holy, mean just what say"
 Swear not at all, my son, but give me your hand.'
 The two men stood with tight grip between them and exchanged 8 long, steady, searching gaze.
 drizzling rain had begun to fall again, with a raw wind creeping from l the west
 Come with me to my house, my son, ]" f Father Beret presently added, and to- l gether they went, the priest covering l Alice's sword from the rain with the l folds of his cassock. { fro BE coNTINuED.l

New Orleans. April IA dispatch

New Orleans, April 1.-"More
men and more money" is the cry
that comes from the crevasse at
1Iymlia. The forces employed there
who have been working day and
night are exhausted and fresh hands
are required to press forward the
work. The Texas & Pacific has put
on daily trains to carry laborers to
the scene. Eight hundred feet of
cribbing at one end and 200 at the
other were holding firmly at day
light and the prospect of closing the
break had frightened considerably.
The river here Tuesday registered
2O.2 fall Of one-tenth of foot in
the past "a hours. COL Ernst, head
Of the river commission. is quoted as
expressing the belief that the river
here has about reached it's maximum
if the Hymlia break continues to
run.
The report from the Pontchartrain
district is that the line of levees is
foldlng and that all observable weak
spots have been strengthened.

BALLOTS OPENED.
Recount Begun in Durborow-Lorl-
mer Contest In Chicago-JudEe's
Order Ignored.

Chicago, April 1. - The election
board opened the ballots in the Dur
borow-Lorimer case Monday, thus ig-
Roring Judge Hanecy's injunction.
One precinct was counted, and the
work will be resumed April 10, until
which time the board constructively
will be in continuous session so as to
have police protection. Hundreds of
patrolmen guard the commissioners
rooms to prevent the removal of bal
lots should the sheriff's deputies on a
court order make the attempt, but
Judge Hanecy issued mo- mandate,
while he refused to have test case as
to his authority in the matter prepared
for the supreme court.
Judge Hanecy has not yet been in
formed officially that the election
board disregarded his injunctional Or
der and began the recount of the bal
lots and then adjourned further ac-
ton until April 10. Until he IS so in
formed he will not undertake to pun
ish the commissioners for contempt.
The judge himself offered no hint of
his disposition in the matter. One
theory is that he may issue a writ di-
recting deputy sheriffs to make an
effort to break into the board quar-
ters and impound the ballots. One
hundred policemen will be on guard
to-day to resist such an attack. On
the other hand, he may cite each
commissioner and the two legal ad-
vsers for contempt and seek to
lodge them in Jail until release comes
through habeas corpus proceedings.
In that event an appeal to the higher
courts will be promptly taken.

Annual Encampments.

It has been announced that the an
nual encampment of the national
guard this summer will only be for
eight days instead of ten. The change
is made with a view to economy, as
the entire brigade may be taken to
st. Louis next year, the legislature
having granted permission to the
governor to allow that much of the
annual appropriation for encamp-
ment purposes to be expended for
the trip south The order providing
for the annual encampment is being
prepared. The Third regiment will
be the only one to go into camp be-
fore July 4, the First regiment fol-
lowing Immediately afterward, and
then the second. 1t has generally
been customary for two regiments to
enter camp during June. The Third
will probably arrive here on June Is.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Pool Selling ON State Fair Grounds.

"A lively discussion is in progress
over the attempt to secure the repeal
OF the anti-pool-selling law of Mime.
sota- The bill, which is said to be
backed by Chicago sporting men, also
compels the Minnesota state fair board
to lease thesfair grounds to recently
organized association which proposes
to conduct running meetings during a
large part of each summer and sell
pools on these and other races
Two important questions are in.
volved-or, more accurately speaking,
three questions. First, do the people
OF Minnesota want to repeal the anti
pool-selling law? Second, if they do,
DO they want to license pool-selling on
grounds belonging to the state of Min
nesota? Third, what will be the effect
upon Minnesota's great state fair?
Regarding the last of these ques-
tlons the officials of the state fair, and
others conversant with the facts, speak
with no uncertain sound. They say
that the state fair has prospered as
never before since pool-selling was
abolished; that it has received the sup
port of large class who would not
countenance pool-selling; that there
would be an enormous loss in gate re-
celpts If pool-selling were re-intro-
duced; that the lease of the grounds
during large part of each summer
would drive out the harness horses
now trained each season on the
grounds and virtually destroy this
source of revenue to the fair; and, per-
haps most important of all, the use of
the grounds by an outside organiza-
ton during the greater part of the
summer would very seriously interfere
with the preparations for the annual
fairs The city papers are a unit in
opposing the bill, as one contrary to
the best interests of the state.

and dis6gured as to be unrecognizab BILE,
was the terrible result of an explosion
in blast furnace 81" Of the Edgar
Thomson steel plant of the Carnegie
company, at Braddock, Pa, early
Tuesday.
The name of the dead man is given
as John Smith, probably an Anglicized

Michael Skunder, John Pear, Andrew
Beriks, Frank Sebula, j. Sebula, Jo-
seph Rubalena, Michael Miller, John
Pelar.
Cause of Disaster.
AS far as can be learned at this time
the explosion was due to a supposed
defect in the electrical equipment Of
the furnace.
During the night the furnace worked
unsatisfactory and about daylight a
number of men were sent to the top
to repair the trouble, which was locat-
ed at the 'bleaker." At the same time
the discovery was made tn at the auto
matte electrical equipment was out of
order and additional men were de-
tailed to locate the trouble. While II
men were a t work either at the top or
bottom, ''hang" in the furnace was
found and before the alarm could be
given there was terrific explosion
of gas and the workmen were envel-
oped in a rain of molten metal, coke
and lime, which burned the clothing
from their bodies, and rendered them
unconscious.
Heroism of RescuinE Party.
Notwithstanding the danger of a
second explosion, a party was organ
lied and the men rescued from their
perilous position. Only Is could be
found, however, and it is not known
whether the two missing were blown
into the furnace, or are wandering
about the district in a semi-demented
condition.
The injured were brought to the
Homeopathic hospital in this city and
everything possible was done to re-
lieve their suffering. Up to noon they
had not been identified. A thorough
investigation of the cause of the ex-
plosion is now in progress.
