RIoTING MINERS IN JAIL.
Mob Rule Broken at the West Virginia
Mines

A dispatch from Charleston, w. Va, yes
terday says: Deputy Marshal Cunning
ham and posse brought ten of the
Stanisford mob here this morning and
lodged them in Jail on charges of
violating an injunction order of the
United States court. Sixty-one are held
by state authorities at Beckley, under war
rants of conspiracy under the Redmonds
act, but the government will ask that they
be turned over for criminal prosecution for
armed resistance to federal authority.
Five are dead as result of the battle
Wednesday morning, and sixteen wounded
are accounted for.
Howard Smith, reported shot yesterday,
escaped with three bullet holes in his
clothing.
Deputy marshals report that armed re-
sistance to federal authority in the New
and the Piney fields has been thoroughly
broken as a result of the battle at Stanis-
ford.
The posse captured besides seventy-one
prisoners, nearly 100 guns, sixty pistols and
a ton of ammunition. The mob had been
marching from one mine to another intimi-
dating those at work and placing guards at
the mouth of the mines to prevent others
from working. Many United Mine Workers
here denounce. this mob violence, and ap-
prove the action Of the officers.

She lay staring up at him out Of her great

with his own thin hands clasped her thinner

There was long silence in the room.
The girl lying there covered her face with
her hand. AS for Peyton, his heart almost
stopped its beating. Would she rise to this
test? Was her love great enough for this
sacrifice? She had repudiated him because
Of these things. Would she give herself to

Mr.. Wagner, the contestant, then was

sworn in. Then the Speaker resumed the

CHAPTER XIV.
"Whither Thou Goest I Will Co.

There was a quiet little wedding in the
parlor at Annandale the next morning Old
DR.. Bampney read the service, with Willis
and peasants, who had been taken pris.
oners and were permitted to come by Gen.
Carpenter, and Watson from the blorkad-
ing fleet and the general himself for wit
nesses, and with Pink Peyton and Tempe to
attend Mary Amman. There the words were
said which made them man and wife Pink
would marry Peasants when he was re,
leased, which would only be question of A
few days. Boyd Peyton could not stay in
Mobile. There was no welcome for him
there, and there would not be for many a
day. Mary Amman would not be parted from
him again. AS she had said they were all
gone whom she loved but Boyd Peyton, and
he would fam take her with him as his
wife. Leaving many messages for his moth
er with Willis and a plea for his fathers
forgiveness. which some day baby hands
would win. the two and little Tempe went
quietly away
transport fast approaching the mouth of the
bay, bound to that north which appeared SO
cold and so unfriendly to poor Mary Amman.
She had given up everything to follow him.
Down below in one of the cabins Tempe
was asleep. They had taken her with them
to make new home and begin a new life
in what was to Doth of them a new land.
The night had fallen when they passed
by the ruined and shattered walls of Fort
Morgan. There Mary Amman had watched
her little brother die. There the ships had
engaged IN mighty death Erdpple In that
last Homeric contest. There her lover had
been stricken down while she had watched
the conflict from the grassy ramparts. The
red flag with its blue st. Andrews cross
and it's white stars had been hauled down
from that fort, never to wave over IL again.
No longer was that flag lifted upon stan
anywhere in the land. No longer did men
rally to its defense. sternly resolved to die
rather than let 1T fan to the dust. rather
than disgrace should touch it. IT was the
flag OF cause that was lost, but for gen.
erations its defenders and their children's
children would hold it in precious and ten
der memory, consecrated by love, hallowed
by valor, made sacred by death, endeared
by defeat.
1t was night as the vessel slipped past the
fort and headed for the open sea. Hand in
hand the young husband and wife leaned
over the taffraii aft and gazed back at Fort
Morgan. The war was over. There was
peace in the land. As they {ooked there
came across the dark waters the notes of g.
bugle playing the sweetest call and the sad
dest that falls upon a soldiers ear:
Taps. Lights out. Good night. Fare
wela.''

bowed head, the letter crushed between her
hands, tears streaming down herr cheeks,
what was in that letter.
He could not keep from his voice the
jealousy in his heart. He did not doubt
the girls love. He could not. But what
had she written to this man who also had
loved her? There was agony in the sus-
pense.

The Message From the Dead.

All, 1t was spring time once more, and
morning. They sat on the porch at An
Mandate together. Boyd Peyton had not
been exchanged. He had been so i'll so long
that the war had ended, leaving him still
prisoner It was the 18th of April, 1855.
Richmond had fallen. Lee had surrendered,
the intrenchments Of the Spanish fort at
Blakely had been stormed. Gen. Maury had
retreated. and the federal troops were en-
tering the city. The end had come. The
confederacy was no more. God had decided
that the Union could not and should not be
broken Soldiers in strange blue uniforms
wero filling the streets. A regiment Of
bronzed veterans marched up Government
street. fluttering above them the stars and
stripes. Their band was playing-hatefult tune
in the peoples ears-"John Browns Body"
1t had been a long time since that flag had
been seen in Mobile. and as Boyd Peyton
had been the last to salute It then he was
the first to salute it now. As the regiment
marched by heading for. the Shell road,
where it was expected sems further resist
ance might be made by the confederates,
general officer, surrounded by a dusty
and wea,ner beaten STAN OF hard campaign
ers, drew rein before AnnanAale House. A
question to a surly paseerby excited that
general sprang from his horse, threw the
reins to an orderly and came clanking up
the walk toward the house.
Boyd Peyton descended the steps to meet
him.

and staring at the others uniform in great
surprise

Cad, the country thought you dead: they
said In Congress it was giving honors to a
dead man; but they'll rejoice to find you
alive to claim your reward. The war is
over. Richmond has fallen. General Grant
has Lee corralled. Thank God, we'll all
get home In short time now. But I am
looking for Miss Mary AMMAN, and am
co.d she lives here.
Il am Mary Amman, sir" said the girl,
coming to the railing Of the porch and look
ing down upon the two. She had heard
everything. The feeling in her heart now
was OF mingled joy that her lovers valor
and courage had been SO splendidy reward
ed and Of sorrow for the final downfall of
the south she still ioved-next to him And
yet she ives strangely relieved that it was
all over at last
While Boyd Peyton was by no means re-
was her old self once more-a little of the
youth gone, some of the gayety vanished,
but with the softening touches that trouble
gives and with the joy that love adds to
take the place of what had disappeared.
She stood quiet and composed, her hands
resting upon the railing, her cheeks filled
with color, her eyes ashine, looking down
at the two men.

at her In bewilderment at her loneliness.

CONFIRMATION URGED.
Officers Will Be Forced Out Of the
Army Until the Senate Acts.

Secretary Root has written a letter to the
Senate committee on military affairs, urg-
ing the confirmation of about one hundred

Must Be Absolutely Practical.
Well, If we are to succeed as nation we
must have the same spirit In US. We must
be absolutely practical, of course. and must
face facts as they are. The pioneer preach
ers of Methodisin could not have held their
own for fortnight If they had not shown
an intense practically of spirit, If they
had not possessed the broadest and deepest
sympathy for, and understanding of, their
fellow men. But in addition to the hard,
practical common sense needed by each of
US in life, we must have a lift toward lofty
things or shall be lost, individually, and
collectively as nation. Life is not easy,
and least Of all is it easy for either the
man or the nation that aspires to do great
deeds. In the century opening the play of
the infinitely far-reaching forces and ten

system bids fair to be even fiercer in it's
activity than in the century which has just
closed. II during this century the men of
high and fine moral sense show themselves

contact with the raw facts of actual life;
II they dare not go down into the hurly-
burly where the men Of might contend for
the mastery; ID they stand aside from the
pressure and conflict, then as surely as
the sun rises and sets all of our great ma
terial progress, all the multiplication of the
physical agencies which tend for our COM

which they did theirs. These men drove
forward, and fought their way upward to
success, because their sense Of duty was in
their hearts, in the very marrow OF their
bones. 1t was not with them something to
be considered as mere adjunct to their
theology, standing separate and apart from
their daily life. They had it with them
week days as well as Sundays. They did
not divorce the spiritual from the secular.
They did not have one kind of conscience

another
