Forty-fifth street, and was shot by

man was paroled and the policeman
will now have to submit to a judic-
larry inquiry into his love affairs.
Relatives of the Hoffman girl de-
clare that Will is not the only po-
liceman responsible for her misfor-
tune and that she is not the only girl
who has been led from the path of
virtue by the lure of blue uniform
and brass buttons.
Will has good record on the
police force. Bessie Hoffman is in
the hands of the Childrens Society.
At the preliminary hearing she re-
fused to testify against the police
man, and would not admit her age
until her twin sister testified that
she was not quite sixteen. Will said
she told him she was eighteen. He
denied that there had been any i'm
proper relations in spite of the in
eliminating circumstances under
which he was found.

RAILROADS AGREE ON
A GENERAL WAGE CUT.

I. New York. March "a I
+ Representatives of the several I

+ roads to reach an agreement +
+ among themselves for a general (

+ ences in this city last week +
+ j. i. i 4. 1. + 4.
There is natural hesitation ON
the part of the individual railroad
company to start the wage cutting
programme, although on all sides the
step Is regarded as inevitable One
of the Western roads had decided on
a unified movement in this direction,
In other words, practically all the
roads west of the Mississippi will
agree to make an aggregate reduc-
ton of 10 per cent There has been
an interchange of views on this sub
ject between the officials, and It is
expected that the details will be ar
ranged at a meeting to be held short
ly in Chicago
1t Is understood that neither the
Western nor the Eastern roads have
any intention of making an appeal
to the interstate commerce commits
sion for permission to increase
freight rates on promise not to re-
duce wages Freight rates are to be
increased, but the higher tariffs will
be filed in the regular way with the
interstate commerce commission. If
the latter body raises any objections
to this plan the railroad companies
will present figures detailing exist
ing present conditions and traffic re-
suits at hearings before the commits
sion. to prove that economics are
necessary in view of the falling off
in earnings.
Presidents of the Eastern trunk
lines admit that dividend reductions,
wage decreases and higher freight
rates will have to be instituted. But
similar feeling of reluctancy pre-
walls among the companies to begin
the movement.

SYNOPSIS.


The browning desire in the life of old
Baumgartner, Pennsylvania German, is
TO obtain possession of the beautiful
meadow which lies just between Baum
ton. The property in question was in
herited by Sarah Pressed, very pretty
and athletic y young, girl, and belonged
came to realize that his only hope of
obtaining the property would be through
the marriage of his son Sephenijah to
Sarah Pressel. In mock auction "Seffy, :
as Sephenijah p. Baumgartner .Jr., is
popularly known, is ratified off by his
father to Sarah for 81. He appears utter
~ 1ncapacitated to win in any contest of
opposite OF Seffy. She is all life and ami
temper. Baumgartner gives Seffy some
lessons in courtship. Baumgartner has
caused himself to be appointed guardian
OF Sally. Seffy is unable to resist the
Fascinating witcheries of Sally and he

clerk-old Baumgartner calls him mo

Tor and begin a sitting up" contest. In
accordance with the customs of the place
and the time, the one who is defeated
In such contest is unworthy the hand
of the girl. Seffy goes to sleep and be-
gins snoring. Sally leaves the room in a
nun, saying: Good night gentlemen.
Seffy tells his father of his humiliation;
of how Sam Fritz had pinned to his
bosom while he slept a pasteboard tomb
stone bearing the inscription: 'Sepheni-
Jah p Baumgartner, Jr, went to his
rest, June 10, 1871, in the twentieth year
of his age. Gone but not forgot. Read
backwards" Seffy and Sally meet at the
Poison spring. She urges him to do some
thing to redeem himself. The father ad-
vises Seffy to take Sally home from
church. This would be the crucial test,
according to the custom of the times,
which often meant disgrace or even muir
der and suicide. 1t was the rule in such
a test that the one whose arm the girl
accepted when leaving the church would
be the favored sutton, and the rejected
one was disgraced and must leave town
or triumph over his opponent by force.
Seffy breads the church ordeal.

so and drink if she wass happy? You
was fool-yas, a durn fool. It's you
fault. Go right up to her like a maj
and say So"
Il did," said Seffy.
"Hah, you did? An what she says?'
"She said she knowed it,"
"Well-begoshens! She's a worse
fool Gather her in and make fool
off of her and git efen! Turning her
back on an OF man that harms no one
and her guardeen yit!"
Alas, this was another thing he had
done to secure the pasture-field-
made himself her legal guardian!
"I'll gife it up--the guardeen. Vas.
sir. She ken take keer herself. Fool
of course. Bose fools! You wait
tell she marries that durn molasses.
Taper if you want to see fun!"
There was such real agony in the
old mans voice tnat Seffy suffered,
too.
"Pappy, I'm sorry amt no good,
/ expect. l guess I'll go away before
the wedding"
"Wedding-wedding! You goin' to
let that wedding go on? And him git
the pasture-field? Put him between
us and the railroad"
How can stop it, pappy?"
'By marrying her yourself!"
Il got enough, pappy," said Seffy
hopelessly. They'd lynch me If I
tried it again. guess I'd better go
away"
Quick anger famed in his fathers
face at this invertebrate submission.
And his voice, when he spoke, was
harsher than Seffy had ever heard it.
"Got enough-got enough-that's all
you know! And go away! That's ell
you ken say, you bull-headed idjiot!
Go and apologize and git her back.
Don't run. Then marry her next day.
That1l settle the molasses-tapper, I
expect, and show that you got an inch
or two of backbone! Choke her
chloroform her and carry her OFF,"

them botlt--and, of course. the pasture
field-she said with more abandoned
disrespect than she had ever ad
dressed to any one:
You ought to be glad that do not
take revenge on him! If he wasn't so

bothering about. Sacked me, did he?
III show him!"
why, Sally, What would you dor"
Put him over my knee and spank
him and then pen him in the cellar.'
sally, don't talk like that" pleaded
the old man. 1T spiles your voice.
And Sally gave him then and there
a rude specimen of how her voice was
being spoiled-which ! may not re-
produce. But it was expressed in
anathema. Indeed, others had noticed
that her voice, somehow. had lost its
soft richness. She was particularly
kind to the young storekeeper now
and he was particularly reckless and
drunken. And rumor presently had it
that she was known to be drunk with
him sometimes!
Sally" said Sefy timorously, one
day. Che had waited to tell her this)
you don't think-you don't believe
that I-said-"
Il know" said Sally in voice that
froze him, that you are fooi-and
am not fond of fools. Go away! BE
glad | don't lick you!"
And then rumor had it that she and
Sam were to be married-"for Spite
But, curiously enough, the person
most affected by all this was not Sal
ly, nor Seffy, nor Sam. 1t was Seffy's
father, whose sufferings were nearing
agony. Nothing could be done with
Seffy. And course of the love between
them, which had never been ruffied
since Seffy was born, was often rufIied
now. The old man, as their relations
grew strained, became more and more
exasperated at Seffy's lack of initia
tive.
''Gosh-a'mighty! You goin' to let
that molasses-tapper set right down on
you and nefer git off? Can't you see
that she wants you? 1t don't matter
what she says! Don't you know it's a
dare? Air you going to take a dare
Why, you usen't to when you was a
baby! When you year that burned
new laugh of Sally's can't you see that
somesing's wrong? She's drinking!
That's what! You think she'd laugh

The Huue Fist of the Farmer.

From that day Seffy avoided all pub
body-nothing. He fell rapidly into
that kind of disrepute which is COM
mon to persons with falling reputa.
tions. 1t was to his discredit that he
did not leave town, but this his father
prevented. Again he took to the cot
with, perhaps, the dim hope that Sally
might again find him there, and that
the peeping moon might again inter
fere on his behalf.
But the moon went through all her
phases and then slowly turned her
back on him-and Sally never came.
In their casual meetings she was ice.
Once they passed on the road TO the
store. She was in precisely the dear
garments he remembered so well-of
that first day-and as gay as then. He
trembled, and then looked up like a
MORALLY wounded animal. She was
looking calmly over his head. To the
rest of the world she was gayer than
ever, though that Sunday night laugh
still echoed in her HEADLIGHT her
maddened After all. it wasn't worth
while to care for even SeIy with such
a little spirit. Why didn't he fight

going that for revenge Seify had de-
serted her at the church door and that
he had first laughed-Seify This was
too piquant to be passed over, and ii
was heard far and wide.

her eyes hlazed like Stars in the mids

her eyes blazed like stars in the midst

Seffy quailed. He recognized the
temper-only he had never seen it as
terrible as this. He had forgotten Sam.
1t was only Sally he saw, as one sees
with fear-stalled nerves the locomotive
as it leaps upon him.
And the onlookers, crowding at the
sides, thought it great and terrible
hand to hand battle-to wait that way
till the last moment ard then to spring
like tigers-or piece of tremendous
foolishness.
Both of you must be absolute sureS"
said Hilary Croft to Sam, cor absolute
fools. Amt you got no pity on the
girl?"
shut up!" answered Sam, land
watch. I'm calculating on him
leaving town tomorrow. That is my
game. And I'm playing for the pot"
You see that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for moment, even if Seffy had
forgotten him. He stepped noiselessly
three PAGES toward Sally, crossed in
front of Seffy and took her arm. There
was laugh almost ribald. Seffy could
not see clearly-he could, least of all,
think clearly-he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.
1t did not reach Sally at all, but Sam
who turned and said with an imitation
of girlish politeness:
THANK you, Mr.. Baumgartner, I'm
suited"
And, Sally, her face flaming with
vengeance, took the trouble to turn

back and cry-not into his ear, but
into his very heart:

There are some people to whom no
punishment.seems sufficient, while any
remains to be administered. One of
the onlookers was of such a sort. He
cried out as poor Seffy skunk away:
"Give her back her dollar!"
And another:
Cor ninety-nine cents, anyhow"
Seffy quailed and drew back from
the line-it was the instant that
makes or mars-and he had lost. He
might still have knocked Sam down
and won-this would have been per-
fectly proper-but he followed the
man who had but a moment before
crushed through the line, and wild
jeers followed him.

NEW STEAMER TO BE BEAUTY.
Latest Acquisition to N. and W.
Service to Be Launched October 8.

\ handsome half section Of the hull
model of the new steamer Southern which
the Norfolk and Washington Steamboat
News ship yard for service on the route
between this city and Norfolk. has been
mounted and hung I'm the office of Gener-
al Manager John Callahan, in the general
offices of the Norfolk and Washington
company at the foot of eth street south
west. The model Is about six feet long
and shows the fine lines the steamer will
have under water and up to her main
deck. The model when tested in the big
tank at the navy yard last spring broke
the water perfectly and showed a speed
of twenty miles an hour with engines de-
veloping 1000 horsepower.
The new steamer is 10 be the hand
soonest on Chesapeake bay and among the
finest boats of her class on the Atlantic
coast. Her interior fittings will alone cost
a small fortune, and she will be equipped
with every convenience that marine archi-
lecture can suggest for the comfort of
her passengers.
The construction work on the steamer
has progressed SO rapidly that the ship
yard people have announced that she will
be launched Saturday. October 3, and the
launching will be with appropriate cere-
monies. 1t is expected that a large party
will go from this city to attend the func-
ton. and the shipbuilding company will
serve a launching dinner at the Hotel
Warwick at Newport News. The details
for the ceremonies incidental to the
launching of the big ship will be arranged
in short time by the officials OF the
Norfolk and Washington Steamboat Com
pany.
