THE DEATH-TROTH. BT AXDX M. ; "Ainslie, I want to have n talk wittyou come and smoke," said Wilfrid Donor, young, fair-haired Lieutenant of the 42nd regiment of the Highland Brigade. ' Cap, Ainslie was bis senior by some years; bat WiH ried had- twined his friendship en ti k-1 y , form spite of their different temperaments, the elderly man was singularly attracted by the younger' s gaiety and affectionate devotion. He yielded to his request. The pipes were lit, and soon they passed front lighter topics to one of deeper interest, when Wilfrid told a story to his friend of a romantic fir love, which had aaade of his hardlife la the Crimea a tender, sweet idyl. Ainslie heard this narration wttn -grave

"If H comes to that, yes; but, old fellow,

The carnage, the' awfol slaughter, tha fierce struggle of man to man was passed, and all that remained on the heights of Alma to mark the track of redhanded war were ghastly monads of crashed human beings and horses mingled Bt gory oonfusion-
A victory was gained for England; but at
what a coat! Our gallant aoldierB had enoramtered fhe enemy. With nndannted bravery they had swept forward, while befbrs their4xed baronets the Russians fell like antoran laaTes. But many a noble heart waa that day hashed forever, and woaaaa'a tears were shad hi vain for those who Bright totum to them zteverxoozB. With nnavailing sorrow in his heart, Paul Ainsile gazed on the scene, for his errand there was a sad one. He came to seek among the alain the body of hi friend, who had fallen. He foomdthe atil form. He looked down on the faea last seen so bright with life, and the tears gathered slowly in his dark eyes. He held an unopened letter which had jast reached camp. It waa addressed to lieutenant Denver, in a woman's writing. Perehanao it contained the words of love which had been so eagerly desired yester
day. And now ha to whom those vows were sent lay there as inrpasaive to them as the sold earth beneath him. And, oh, to think of her! that fair girl, who had but yielded her heart to have it broken by her
love s nntimely death! With a deep igh, Paul laid the letter on ehe young officer's breast; and thus, with hda beloved's words close to the pulseless heart, Wilfrid Denver was laid to rest in his rode grave. Five years after the Crimean war is over.

amongst the guests. Constance Beaumont is singularly beautiful. Paul has been dancing with her. The delight of her presence overwhelms him. Bending, until their eyes met, he whispers, "Come with me." In the cool, dfardy-Hghtad conservatory, with the splash of falling water mingling with the dreamy strains of music, he asks her one low, eameat question, Constance, will you be my own?" Her hears answers him. They are quite alone, and even as she atgJtoamaloasly, hehaaher in hia arms, oloeety against hia throbing heart.

you nrost not love me! Seek not to unite
your life with mine, for the Bhadow of deathman my path!" Paul smiles superior to her fears. "My darling, if you love me, I will never relinquish too. Death come, to all lives: but it will not fall the sooner on either of us because those live are one," he says. "Bat if my love shonld only bring you misfortune?" she urges. ul will risk that, Constance. Health, happiness, life itself, are nothing without you!" It is Paul AinsSe's wedding-day. The sunlight streams through the stained-glass windows, easting gorgeous tints on the church floor. The ceremony begins; the solemn word are spoken. Paul stretched forth his hand to plight their troth, while Constance's slight finger flutter into his palm. He is about to press them in a warm clasp, when an icy hand steals in between, and a shadowy form stands before the bride. Bar arm falls to her side. An awful pallor; comes npon her. face, . Witt lips apart, with eyes distended in horror, she confronts the phantom; then, with one long, wild cry "Wilfrid! Wilfrid! she falls like a stone into Paul's arms. The bridal guests crowd round her; there is a hum of voices, a whispered murm.or of, sound1; but Constance knows nothing, sees nothing. White and still, with closed eyelids like the dead, she remains, and thus he bears her from the church. In the same state she is borne from tha carriage, and laid upon her bed. As her doctor now, Paul stands beside
his lore; no other can he suffer to attend
r. The hours pass on the long hours
fraught with anxiety. The evening closes in as Paul still keeps watch besidu his
patient.' No change has come to that rigid form that marble-like faoe; Constance
lies still in a stupor, resembling death.
Her lover's heart seems breaking. Ha
has tried all restoratives in Tain.
Hurled from joy's greatest height to woe's deepest, abyss, he acaroe. can,! bear the pain and Baa. He throws himself upon-hia knees beside the couch, and clasping her inanimate form to 1& throbbing heart in a paroxysm of despair, he moans, "Oh, Constance, my beloved, come back to life and me!" Aa if .in answer to hia prayer, she moves, Irer darsr eyes opening - upon him with a wild gaze as of fear; then there comes a passionate burst of weeping, which shakes her from head to foot. "Thank God!" cried Paul. "Her reason will be spared!" The storm of tears spends itself at last, andConstancebpahons to her lover. ' " ''Send them away," she says of those who
ajrrronnded. her. AI have much to.say to'
yon, Paul; but we must be alone." They are left together. Rising from the conch, she totters towards'htm, stretching' out her arms. "Take me, Paul, my love, for the last, last time!" she, cries, in a voice quivering with pan. He draws her to hia heart; he holds her there as though nothing again shaB sever them, and thus she talis him the story of her life. Scamely baa she spoken, ere Paul knows their doom is sealed; that phantom form is before him; that icy grasp seems to freeze his blood with a nameless horror. She has loved Wilfrid Denver. The letter he had laid an the young anleer's cold breast contained her aooeptanoe of his offered hand. When the sad news of bis death reached her, she had resolved to live nnwedded for his sake; but after years had passed, Saul's devoted love wan her heart; and, in spite of a warning presentiment, ahefaocepted, him. Paul muses deeply fox a time. "Wilfrid Denver was my friend," he says at last. "Poor young fellow, how little I thought that the Constanoe he loved would come to be mine also!" She shivers. "Alas!, never yours! No thought of marriage can ever again be between us! I release yon from oar engagement," says her etfvoleer ' -Constance," cries Paul, "do yon aerienaly mean that this phantom is to sever r . ,,. ,:. -It must be so! I am bound to the dead, and even in the grave he claims my promise!" "But, Constance, I " She interrupts him. Dearest,look here. " Taking from her desk a folded paper, she puts it into his hand. It is Wilfrid Denver's last letter. On the first page are traced these words: "It may be that ere I receive your answer the answer which will brhur joy or desolation-I shall be bring dead npon the harHefleld. Yet, shonld that be my fate, I believe that even in death I shall know if yon return my love. And, my darling, I fear that should another claim your troth in after years, I shall rise even from my grave to stand between you." Pan! read this in silence. "Ten see," Constance says, sadly, "Wilfrid keeps his word. I pledged myself to him; he ehums that troth in death. Paul, say farewell. I shall never be your wife! I am promised to the dead!" She speaks the words with a mournful solemnity; her lips quivering, her eyes ailed with tears. Paul strives wildly to change this decision, but in vainl He finds it impossible to dissuade her from the fixed idea that she is doomed never to marry. At mat they part despairing love in both their hearts- part, to see each other's face no mere. When time has brought balm to Paul's aching heart, and taught him some semblance of resignation, as he wanders through a country churchyard he sees a funeral procession approaching, With a strange presentiment upon him, he stands awaiting it. Slowly the mournful cortege glides along the winding road, through the lyoh-giite, until it rests beside an open grave. The pail is lifted. Paul looks on the coffin -plate. It bears the name of Constance Beaumont! He totters a few steps onwards, and falls into the outstretched arms of a bystander. Bending over him, the mart lifts his head, and gazes into the face of the dead! Beyond this life with all its doubts, its fears, its half -understood mysteries, and solemn secrets Paul Ainslie and Constanoe Beaumont meet again. Ferohance where there is "no marrying or giving in
marriage," their love will find a fulfilment
mote blessed than that of earth, '

Hills were introduced to appropriate JtsO.Oft) for buildings and material used or destroved hv the Fedoral army in Nashville, and for a pub'lle building at Boacrico, Nebraska. In the Honso Mr. Hanbaok, of Kansas, secured the adoption of a resolution which provides that "the Committee on . Expenditure in tho Department of Ja&tioebc empowered to mako full inquiry into any expenditure on the part of the Government relativo to th right of the Bell and Pan-Eleotrie Telephone Companies, and, for tho purpose of. this investigation and to the end that the people may be fully advised, the committee 1 granted tho right to send for persona and papers, all expense to be audited and accounted from approved touchers, and when so approved to bo paid out of any moneys in the Treasury no otherwise appropriated. Mr.Mataon, of Indiana, movod to suspend the rules and put upon its passage the bill insreaing the pensions of soldier' widows from S8 to 813, with an amendment providing that this act shall apply only to widows who were married to the deceased soldiers prior to It passage and to those who may hereafter marry nrior to or darlnu the service of the soldier. Mr

The motion was lost yeas, 03 ; navs, 171. Afti-r a short debate between Messrs. Browne and Hatson, the motion to suspend the- rulos and pas the bill waa agreed to yeas, 198; nays, OS. Mn.TimDuinEl-jilin, of Virginia, offered a resolution in the Senato, on tho 2d Inst, that tho President Is -not restricted by law in removing officials, and that the Senate has no right to require a statement of his reasonsfor susnensions. Mr. Pugh submitted a substitute, declaring tho President rcsponfiib!o to tho people for removals or suspensions from office. The matter went over. The electoral-count bill, with all tho amendments proposed, was recommitted. Mr. Chaco introduced a bill to prevent Congressmen from recommending appointments to office, and Mr. Harris a measure appropriating 875,000 to establish a bureoh of public health. The Secretary ? the Treasury answered a resolution of inquiry by stating that n assistant treasurer has (ccn instructed to refuse to issue certificates on deposits of silver dollars. The House of Representative devoted the day to eulogies of Vice President Hendricks by leading members. Mr. Bymun, of Indiana, was tha first speaker to boar testimony to the true Worth of tho dead statesman. He traced the life of Mr. Hendricks through childhood, youth, and manhood, showing that in every stage he had manifested that ability and talent which had made hi name familiar to every household in the land. Mr. Hewitt said that the nomination of Mr. Hendricks in 1884 seenred the success of the Democratic ticket. It prevented an issue addressed to tho conscience of the people, and in New York especially was so acceptable to a portion of tho party otherwise dissatisfied that personal grievances were to a large extent swallowed up and postponed to the large duty of Justice to the men in whose person the will of the people bad once been defeated. But for the existence of this feeling the accession of indenendent voter would not have materially changed the strong eurrent of fooling among a portion of the Democratic voters tor the candidates of the other party. Mr.'Hendricks. ho said was a partisan, but this partisanship was nover exerted itt the expense of his patriotism. There was no reason tor apology or explanation so far as Mr. Hendricks' view on. tho matter of appointment-to pnblie office were concerned. These viewi wore given In hie letter of acceptance of tho nomination for Vice President in 1878, and coincided with the views of Washington and Jefferson. Mr. Bandall expressed admiration for the dead statesman, whose life had been the embodiment of that old Latin saying, "mild in manner and resolute in conviction." His wavs were gentle and kind, but in a matter of right or wrong he was fixed and immovable. As ho waa greater than Others, ho was also stronger than any political organization to which lie was attached. He believed that our liberties were socroel only when all tendencies toward centralization were 'to be resisted and destroyed. Bo died as he lived, calmly and serenely. Like a shadow thrown softly and sweetly from a passing cloud, death fell upon him. Tbb Chair place? before the Senate, ontheSd mst, the resolution a submitted by Mr. Biddleberger and the substitute tor it submitted by Mr. Pngb, relating to the relations between the President and the Senate in regard to information and papers affecting Government officers suspended' or appointed. Mr. Edmunds said that practically but four months of the session were loft for business. Tho resolution oflVrjd embodied no practical questiononly mooted questions and it would he time onough to' debate tho question when it should become a practical question. He movod to lay the resolutions on the table. The motion to lay on the table was then agreed to, only one voice beins hoard in the negative. At
a subsranentf stage' of tho Senate proceediug,'
j.,uuiubergor again oaueu np ms rcwuu&ion ond c.-iticised tho course of tao "Senator (Edmunds) whose voice Is too repressed to be heard except by himself, who first mokes a speech and then moves an uw'obatablo motion. "I don't mind being run over by a railroad train," continued Mr. Riddloberger, "but I don't like being mashed by a v heelbarrow." Great laughtor.l On motion of Mr. Morrill tho resolution was then, without debate, referred to tho Commit tee ou Privileges and Elections. Tho Dakota bill was placed beforo the Senate, and Mr. Iogan took tho floor in favor of the admission of that Territory as a State. Mr. Morgan opposed the admission of Dakota undoi tho present conditions. Ho thought the St note was asked to admit the now Htate morcly for tho purpose of admitting tho omaahnldora that had boon sent here. The patriotism that )md been so much referred to had m it a strong flavor of self-interest. The House of Uetwesentatives adopted a resolution, offered by Mr. Bhtnd, requesting In- ! oi mation froin tho Sccretatv of tho Treasury whether an lurrauceinont was made with the Now Tone uiFaring-Houso to prevent the circulation of silver, and asking lor a statement of silver dollars and certificate on band and afloat.

In offering the resolution Mr. luddleber-

immediate consideration of the resolution,

GENTLEMEN BURGLARS KILLED.
A Tennessee Merchant and an Armed
Crowd Pursue Three Cracksmen. (Chattanooga telegram.)
A terrible tragedy occurred at Knoxville Junction, eighty miles from this city, in which two daring safe robbers were killed
by a pursuing poBso. Last Friday night
three burglars broke into the store ol J. M. Eambv. n merchant at Glenmary, and at
tempted to crack his safe, in which there were several thousand dollars. They were detected bv the merchant, who at once
opened fire on them. They retnrnod the
fire and a regular f usilade ensued, in which twenty-five shots were exchanged, but no
one was wounded. The burglars fled ,aud no trace oi! (hem
was found until this morning, when Humby learned that the robbers were encamped ou tho Einoiv River. He enllRted a posse and
went in pursuit of the desperadoes. They
were found concealed among some cross
ties, and were ordered to surrender. Two of the burglars threw np their hands, bnt the third shouted defiance at the posso and
swore he would never give up. The posse shot hiin dead, his body being perforated
with bullets. The roumiuing two. find, but one was shot, and in his ngouy leaped over a bluff 400 foet high into the Emory River
and was drowned. The third burclai- es
caned. Tho two burglars killed were hand
somely dressed and wore line diamonds nud
watches. No clew to thoir identity could be
obtained.

Colummu (Ohio) special to Chicago Tribune.!
With the Senate adjourned over into next
week, and no matter of interest likely to come before the House, Columbus would bo dead politically to-day bnt for the latest
velopments in tiie Payne investigation.
It is getting more and more apparent that direct testimony (Is to the buying of votes in the Democratic caucus will be hard to obtain, bnt ii is also getting more and more apparent tbat the case made out to a moral certainty will be as damning to some political reputations asc ould be a conviction before a jury in a formal trial in court. The flight of witnesses desired is in itself an in
dication ot-their guilty knowledge, and the
circumstances under which these disappear
ances occur, as some new fact Is stumbled upon by the committee of investigation, are such 'as to make reported incidents of the past do veto il into ach other strikingly. The investment in Pendleton legislators was mado in a style which speaks volumes for the political acuteness of the purchasers. No checks were passed, no written promises to pay wero given, and when the money changed hands it was in the form of crisp
$0U0 and $iuu (Mils.
So much now monev was never seen in
Columbns before. There must have been
trtmkful of it in some room of the Neil
House, the Payne headquarters, and (he method of its expenditure was a rrinraph of secrecy. There was a slight trail left, though, and this trail the investigating committee can stumbled npon. The money
was handled by a stranger. Many of those who dealt with him did not know his name.
He was not even a resident of the State,
but he is known now. He lives in West
Virginia, and he is a trusted agent of the
Standard Uil Company. Of course the in
vestigation committee cannot secure this man to give testimony, and if they could he would nor. talk; bnt he is not unlikely to
have fame thrust npon htm soon to an extent which must be painful to one of bis
retiring nature.
This rjavmaster must have been an ex
ceeding shrewd as well as trustworthy personage. His connection with the prominent figures among the Payne boomers was never suspected by the multitude. Col.
Uliver 1 avL O, an omcer or the standard uil
Company, or which ms father, tho senator,
is the long-headed adviser and schemer, occupied rooms in slate at the principal
hotel in Columbus, and his hotel and all others in town of any note were practically ranted for the occasion, everything being made freo as water to legislators and their families. There was a roar and a bustle, an advent of hundreds of the Cincinnati sane: sent on by Payne's associates there,
and amid ' ho tnmult the confidential man
from West Virginia could move about un
noticed. The cashier was no, a prominent
personaeo lief ore the canons; after it he bad
but a few hours' work to do. and then he
melted awar like a fog in the morning. He
Las not rniiterinlized in Columbns since.
The list of those who, immediately after the Payne election, stepped suddenly from
almost penury to what is opulence iu tne rural districts has received a number of ad
cations. As the matter is agitated reports
tome in tivm the small towns, where each individual knows all about the affairs of e very one else in the place, and where the sudden nrcsneritv of the member of the
Legislature from the district became about
i, year and a nnir ago tne snnject or comment and scandal. The marvel is that these t can dais v.-ere never imiuued before. But
one town knows tittle about the scandals of
another unless snch scandals are printed.
tind it is only now, when the tales of sudden comparative wealth are brought together, that their full significance is seen and an
idea obtained of the immense sum of
monev which must have been expended in
Columbuf- immediately after the assembling
of the uu-OiI Legislature.
Even the shrewdness of the men now em
ployed to get witnesses and damaging
documents out of the way of the In-
vestigatiiii5 Committee is now taxed in iutemosina obstacles, from the fact that
information sought is now coming by letter
irom sources ol waicb tne coai-ou people can have no idea. There is literally no

lie was not even a prominent Democratic leader before he appeared, with his enormous fortune and backed by the anti-Pon-
cUt ton crc-wd from Cincinnati, to defeat the
favorite of the nmioritv, and now no hesi
tation is shown by Democrats of the better class in tilling what they know of the methods of his otoud. The very fact that
the Payrid investigation has been instituted is creditable to one portion of the Democratic uar .v in the State and indicative of
