A flask OF red wine stood at his elbow,

such an errand. At present It may not

Into tho chamber they went In all
peace and concord. where tho Lady Tip
haine sat like queen on throne for each
in turn to DO presented 70 her. Sooth to
say, tho stout heart OF Sir Nigel, WHICH
cared little for the wrath Of her lion
like spouse, was somewhat shaken ~ the
calm, cold face of this stately dame. for
twenty years Of canlp-life had left him
more at case in the lists than IN a lady's;
boudor, He bethought him, too, as no
looked at her set lips and deep-set ,ques-
tioninE eyes, that he had heard strange
tales or this same Lady Tlphalne du
Guesclln. Was it not she who was said
to lay hands upon the sick and raise
them from their scouches when the leechcs
had spent their last snostrums? Had shc
not forecast tho future and were there
not times when in tho loneliness OF her
cham her She was heard to hold converse
with some being upon whom nlortal eye
never res ted-sonle dark familiar who
passed where doors were barred and VIM
dows high? Sir Nigel sunk his eye and
marked a cross on the side OF his leg as
he greeted this dangerous dame. and yet
ere 6ye minutes had passed he was hers,
and not he only hut his two young
squires as well. The mind had gone out
OF them, and they could but look at this
woman and llstento the words which fcll
from her ltps-words which thrilled
through their nerves and st!rTed thelr
souls like the battle-call Of a lbugla.

GILLESPIE JURY
 IS DISCHARGED
EACH JUROR UPON APPEARING BEFORE THE COURT STATES THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REACH DECISION,

Rising Sun, Ind, May 2a.-After deNb- erating forty-two hours without coming to an agreement, Judge Downey dis charged the jury in the case of James Gill; iespie, charged with assassinating his sistt Elizabeth, this morning When the jury was brought Into the courtroom Judge Downey asked them whether there was any probability of agreeing on verdict. and every one of the twelve men shook his head in the negative. Judge Dcwney then thanked them and dis missed them from further service, It Is said that a motion will be made before fudge Downey to release James Ghl- lespie from custody and declare him .sc- quilted In the event that this motion Is overruled. the defense will ask that James Gillespie be admitted to bail along with the other three defendants Mr and Mrs. Barbour and Mrs Seward, who were indicted with him.
 Should the writ of habeas corpus be denied by Judge Downey, the matter will be taken to the supreme court of the state.
 Rising Sun is very quiet tonight, and no trouble Is anticipated
 August Growie who was on the Jury originally, but who was afterwards chal- lenged, committed suicide last night It is said he lost his mind worrying over the Gillespie case, and imagined that James was trying to kill him.

MIR. QUAY'S SUCCESSOR IS
 SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

mostly regalned his health. He was born the same year of MT. Quay, 1883. and the two have always been warm friends. Three days before the death of Quay he held a long private conference with Cameron. and 1t Is presumed that he made his dying wishes known as to who should succeed him in the senate. These wishes will likely be carried out.
 With the death of Senator Hanna, the old Hanna machine in Ohio has failed to work as smoothly as formerly and 1t Is hardly to be expected that the successor of Senator Quay will be able to guide the republican machine In the Keystone state as deteriously as the great easy boss"
 The removal of Quay and Hanna Is a big loss to the republican party in tho nation. They were men who knew what to do at the right time to carry an cleo ton, though 1t is doubtful if their coun- rel and advice would have had much of- feet upon the present occupant of the White House. who long ago showed un- mistakably that he intended running his own campaign

FIRE IN NEW YORK
 BURNS BIG PIERS
LOSS IS ESTIMATED AT $5,ooo ,ooo. ORIGINATED ON PIER WHERE MANY BARRELS OF OIL WERE STORED.

New York, May 29,-Seven freight and coal piers of the Delaware, Lacka- wanna and Western railway in Jersey City were destroyed by fire that started about 5 o'clock on Pier No. l2 on which a lot of barrels of oil were stored The flames spread rapidly. Pier IF was Soo feet long, and was soon ablaze It's entire length, and the firemen who were trying to fight the fire from the shore were able to accomplish but little.
 The flames swept across to Pier NO. Il and beyond, being finally checked at Pier B. which is a new coal trustie, steei framed and iron clad. Here the hremen and firehoats made desperate stand' ana staved the advance of the fire until me burning piers crumbled and fell into the water. Although there was rut little wind, sparks fell all along the water front Tor the better part of mile, endangering the I,ackawanna depot and even the liam bure-American line and Bremen line piers where the firemen were kept busy playing streams of water upon the building ana over the ships at their docks
 The building of the Hoboken Coke com pany, five blocks from the main ire was set ablaze by burning brands, but the firemen responded quickly and the bulid- ing was only slightly damaged
 number of canal boats and several tugs were burned, the loss of small boats heinz variously estimated at from thirty to two hundred.
 The number of freight cars burned Is not known, but on this class of rolling stock. and on coal cars, the loss will be heavy.
 During the fire the Lackawanna moved it's messenger coaches from it's yards out to the Meadows, and one train of dozen box cars was hauled out of burning pier and saved.
 Piers Il and 12 were full of general mer- chandise. Piers ', 8, and 10 were used for coal and pier 6 was grain-loading pier.
 Vice President Loomis of the Lacka- wanna placed the total loss by the fire at s5,eO.OC0 This includes practically every thing.
 The Lackawarna company, Mir. Loomis said carries itG own insurance.
