M.c.Leod Brothers, the leading business men of New Haven, sustained loss aggregating Jjqo.o'io while at Ingonish, the fishing stands were swept away and miles of •wire were broken down.

Boa? houses, stores and lishhouses at New Haven were also carried away and the dwellings of the keepers of t-nc northeast lighthouses were Hooded.

At .Middlehead several wharf properties are gone completely. At South bay every wharf and every establishment with their contents -were washed oil'the beach into the harbor.

The train was the fast Kansas City through passenger and express, known as No. 2, due here at 2 a. 111., and was in charge of Conductor Conlick.

The railroad company have established a new watering station near the point where tlie liold-up was attempted and the robbers evidently expected (lie train to stop at tlie tank for water as is customary. As the engineer was reversing his engine to take water and the train commenced to slow up, the headlight revealed several suspicious looking

characters on the track ahead. He opened up and the train fairly flew by the water station, and from the underbrush on either side the train was fired upon. As near as can be ascertained about 15 shots were lired in all into the passing train.

Penna and Secretary McBryde of fclio United Mine workers of America have addressed a lengthy letter to Governor jVIcKinley, appealing for more aid for the starving miners in the Hocking and Sunday Creek A-alleys.

The letter fully discusses the stopping of Avork at the mine at ShaAvnee. Avhere coal Avas pur 011 board cars at 55 •eenf.s per ton. while others Avere charging HO cents per ton, and the claim is made I hat this only had a tendency to shift the tield of poverty to oilier places.

A CASUIST.

Tho circumstances that to Ernest Marsden's withdrawal from London have never been propi vly explained. His di.-appearanco excited some conuncur, for, althoimh Marsden was by ])rofessiou a subordinate, it had lxvn liis liuuior tij occupy posiiions of direction 111 his span time as relaxation from his more tvrious tuil. He was a well known political organizer and speaker as well as an occasional contributor upon economic qvitv ions to the monthly reviews. I?y clay lie was employed at an oliico in Corn hi 11. It was there that 1 inane his acquaintance. Our duties brought us a good deal together, and a eonsidi. rab'o intimacy sprang tip between us. Marsden's relations were all dead, and ho was once good (••nougl) to say that 1 was tho only friend lie possessed in the whole world.

Tilings were in this condition when I callcd one night at my employer's private house 011 a business matter that had been overlooked. I was shown into tho drawing room. From an adjoining apartment I could hear at intervals tho„. voices of two lii-m in violent altercation.'^ After a time Mr. Henderson appeared in the drawing room and asked me to accompany him into tho other room. EmcstMarsden, the only occupant, received 1110 with a grateful smile. "I have asked you totake'part in this conversation," said my employer, "be-j cause I believe you to bo a friend of Mr. Marsden's and likely to advise him helpfully at a very critical moment in his career. You were away this afternoon from the offico and are therefore ignorant of what has occurred. I havo been robbed, and your friend is tho only possible culprit. At half past 12 today 1 an amount of £00 was paid to me personally in gold and notes. Before going out I locked it up in the safe in my private room, a safe to which you and Air. Marsden have the only other keys. Mr. 1 Marsden, whom I left at work in my room, went out about ten minutes later, I am assured by tho clerks in the outer office that 110 one else entered the room during my absence. I returned in half an hour. The safe was locked, but when I opened it I found that the gold (i'AO) had disapjreared. I havo told Mr. Marsden that if ho will make a clean breast of everything and restore tno money lit" may retire from my employment quietly and without scandal

This statement upset 1110 a good deal. I hoped, of course, that my iriend could clear himself of the accusation. My own position in the matter was none tot. pleasant. Although I had had leave ot absenco for tho day, I had boen obliged to come back for my purse, which, by a strange oversight, I had left in tho pocket of my ofiice jacket. Unfortunately I had returned to tho office about 12:30 o'clock. Finding tho door of Mr. Henderson's sanctum unlocked—thedoor, I mean, opening directly into tin. passage—I had slipped in and out without apparently thoso in the outer office having noticed my return. Marsden, however, had met me upon tho stairs. To make things more ugly, I had that very day come into the possession of a sum of money under circumstances that could not have been made public. To my great relief, Marsden made no reference to our meeting, although aware, no doubt, of tho effect it would have in diverting suspicion from himself.

The scene that followed was a very painful one. Marsden insisted upon his innocence, and bitter speeches passed on both sides. I fancied at one time during a lull in tho storm that I caught tho sound of some one weeping in the next room. The conference broke up, having come to no conclusion. Mr. Henderson, whom contradiction always lashed into a fury, followed Marsden into the hall, threatening him with exposure and imprisonment. Suddenly the drawing room door burst open, and a tall, proud looking girl swept into tho hall. I will not attempt to repeat verbatim what she said. Some of it has escaped me, and the rest, without her dark eyes and impassioned bearing, seems ordinary enough. Marsden had proposed to her a year previously and had been refused. His constancy in the face of every discouragement had touched deeply, and lately she had come to realize that her feelings toward him were completely changed. Under ordinary circumstances she would have waited for him to address her again. Of his continual devotion he had given her many eloquent, if silent, demonstrations, and now that his fortunes wore at their lowest she asked as a favor to be allowed to 6tand by his side and to fight his battles against all the world. At the end of this speech, which was delivered with an inconceivable elevation of manner, the girl would have flung herself upon her lover's breast, but he repulsed her with a strange gesture. "Don't touch me, Lucy!" ho cried passionately I stole it."

Two hours later I wont round to Marsden's lodgiugs, for, in spite of his confession, I folt sure that my friend was not guilty of this base thing. I found him busily engagod putting hia belongings together. "I am glad you havo come," he said after an embarrassing silence. "Other people may think what they like, but I could not bear that you should consider me a thiof." "But the confession?" I stammered. "Sit down," Marsden repliod, "and I will explain every tiling.

His explanation was briefly this:

*YQ8tSB#

Twclvo months beforo he had made Miss Henderson an offer of marriage undei tho impression that the girl was madly devoted to In 111. Whether J10 loved hei ho was not at that time sure. Within a week of his rejection—ho had boen refused—he knew for certain that he did not. After that lie .had met Lucy Henderson frequently ::d had. found the mixture of friendliness and pity with which she treated him exactly to his iancy. lie knew that tho girl thought she had darkened his existence forever, and he had encouraged her in this notion. Ho felt that ho was acting the part of a glorified Major Dobbin and playing it uncommon ly well. On one occasion lit had sung "Tlie Devout Lover" in her presence with so much feeling as to have, aficcted even himself. That he was doing a urcat evil by this posing he lirul never relieded^«--J!e had not even dreamed that Miss Henderson's feelings toward him were undergoing any eli.uure. When she had proclaimed her love for him that nivrht, he had been foi a op:

I can go to another town and start afresh. Henderson has accepted the i'-'.O I havo sent him, and you, he and his daughter aro all who will know anything of this affair.

I took up my hat to leave. "You won't let this interfere with our friendship," said Marsden, holding out his hand. "Ernest Marsden," I replied, "you aro eitht the greatest saint in creation or the meanest hound. I will write tc you when 1 ascertain which."

Sinco then Marsden has written tc me oneo or twice, but 1 havo never replied to him. I cannot make up my mind about his behavior. That I10 was wrong to havo followed Miss Henderson when I10 knew that he did not love hci is beyond question. This being so, it is clear to mo sometimes that ho ought to have married her, and his subsequent conduct appears mean beyond credence. To escape nil unpleasant duty ho dishonored his own name. At other times it is equally obvious to me that he ought'not to havo married her—a return of hei affection was not to bo expected—and ho cho-o a quixotically heroic method of sparing her self pride. As I havo said, I am as far from a decision as ever, and all this while Marsden, my old chum, is suffering acutely from my neglect-.

There is on question that demands an answer. How was it that-, in spite of his confession, I at no time believed in my friend's gr.ilr?

The following incident may prove instructive to some of your numerous readers, illustrating the power of memory in the matter of instruction in tiie code of elephantine manners. While visitingthe zoo some time ago I took my children to see tho elephant and to give them a ride. After tho rido I wanted tc givo tho elephant a bun, and to make him say "Please" said "Salaam Icuro" —i. e., make a salaam. Tho animal looked at 1110 hard for somo time, with tho bun in my hand. At last memory came to his help, and up went his trunk, and ho made a most correct "salaam." Tho keeper seemed very much surprised: and asked mo what it meant. I told him it was a point of good manners for an elephant to raise his trunk up to his forehead if any ono was going to feed him, and that frequently elenhantr will ask in this polite manner for something when they see any ono pass by who is likely to feed them. The keepei assured ino he had never seen tho elephant do this before, and if I remember rightly I10 had been in chargo oJ the animal since it arrived from India, and that it was one of thoso which took part in the grand procession to Agra when his royal highness tho Prince of Wales visited India, and where 1 doubtless saw it. For 17 years this animalhad never heard these words. —London Times.

Curiosities of Courage.

Thore are curious subdivisions both of moral and physical courage. Marshal Saxe, the victor of Phillipsburg and Fontenoy, had an absurd fear of assassination, and in his fortified palaco ol Chambord kept two constables for the purpose of scrutinizing every unknown visitor. The Duke of Alva got nervous at tho ruero sight of a dog, and during his residence at Ghent ordered his patrols to shoot every unmuzzled specimen of the obnoxious quadruped. There are men whose actions defy the wrath of public opinion, but who turn pale with thought of seeing their names in the local newspapers, and others who advance foarlessly to tho brink of a precipice, but shudder at the sight of a spider.—* Lippincott's.

Failed to Live Up to It.

One of tho managers of a home fof destitirto colored children tells a funny story about the institution. She wont out there to see how things were getting along and found a youngster as black as the inside of a coal mine tied to a bedpost, with his hands behind him. "What is that boy tied up therefor?'' she demanded of the attendant. "For lying, ma'am. Ho is the worse1st, lyingest nigger I ever scon. "What's his name?" "George Washington, ma'am," wa» the paralyzing reply.—Chicago Record,
