MONDAY, AUGUST II, 1890.

Tiikrk is strong probability that the strike on the New York Central will prove ft failure. The strike was not opportune it was precipitated without due consideration leing given to the gravity of the situation. There was no thoroughly organized effort on the part of the tjtrikere and they entered the contest in a state of demoralisation. For a time they Boeceeded in tieing op the linea hat the inevitable result will be that they will be beaten.

Enisos Bays the blunder in the Kemmler execution waa made by the doctors. They attempted to pass a current through non-conductors. The hair is a non-con-ductor, ateo the bones. The attempt to produce instantaneous death failed for the reason that the current did not pass through the body and the burning of the flefih resulted. He advanced the statement that instant death in over (hirty cases which had come under his notice in New York occurred by reason of contact of the hand with the electric current.

Laiioii day occurs on September 6th, and on effort is being made by local organizations to hold a celebration in this city. The demonstration will be participated in by all local unions and the miners of surrounding places will be invited to be present. A committee meeting will be held this week to further the plans for the occasion. A few years ago the day was celebrated, and those who have the movement in charge this year purpose that Terre Haute shall not be behind other cities in making this day a memorable one.

Elijkh MOUNT, Republican candidate for congrese, is making a most vigorous bid for the farmer's vote. He delivered speech last week at the Battleground. It was a speech characteristic of Mr. Mount The occasion was farmer's day, wad ho took the opportunity to make hay while the sun shone. Mr. Mount was prepared with statistics and he hurled them at his auditors, no doubt with telling effect. He traveled tho lino from corn to poultry and maintained that the "array of facts entitles the farmer to the honor of being the greatest wealth producing factor of the government." Then the speaker went back to sthe time of Cincinnati and, coming down the ages, sprang bodily on what he termed "profligate extravagance," He assailed |the politicians and «wd the formers had delegated their interests to them. Tho result had been that expenditures were "unscrupulously I'xtravagant." It cost, he said, nearly $1,000 per day to run the state legislature. Then Elder Mount tackled the school fund question. lie said the auditor of Vigo county received $2,078 47 for wing f.)r this fund. He closed by an "ad" for I he ngricuUu ral pre*#.

Elder Mount is right in considering the importance of the farmer as a wealth pro ducing factor. He is correct in his statement that money is squandered from the state treasury. He to accurate on many things contained in his speech, but if the firmer is such an important factor in the wealth of the country, how is it that Elder Mount endorses the Mr Kin ley bill? He accepted the nomination on# platform strongly endowing the measure. He is not making the raco for the state legislature. He is candidate lor Congress. Will he explain how the McKinley bill benefits "the gre*U*t wealth producing class of the government" However, the campaign is scarcely on and the Republican standard bearer may yet enlighten the public on the benefits the farmer# will derive from national legislation on the part of the Republican irajority in congress. It will be national issues that will constitute the Arguments of tho coming campaign.

A romantic story of the far

CHAPTER VIL

Perhapa that silent walk in search of Snaresbrook had formed a subtle bond of sympathy between tho two young men nt any rate from that night John Smith did not try to avoid Jack Ne wen ham. Another incident drew them even closer together—at least it considerably affected tho young Englishman, who was beginning to feel something stronger than mere interested curiosity in this new acquaintance of his.

Jack felt certain that, though John Smith mingled freely among them, living their life as completely as though he had been accustomed to it all his days, ho was

yet asTeally

out of place among

tho inhabitants of Deadman's Flat and its outlying miners' camps aa Mis3 Snaresbrook herself. Ho wa3 indeed deeply interested in them both, because he was considerably puzzled. Any prejudice ho had formed against the girl before knowing her had long since vanished, and he now thought as highly of her as did any man or woman in Deadman's Flat. He could not understand the state of affairs between herself and John Smith. He had first felt certain that it was a decided case between them but after a few days looking on at what ho expected to be a comedy of love making, he was obliged to come to the conclusion that there was really nothing between them after all.. Indeed, there were moments when they almost seemed to dislike each other. They scarcely ever sought or stayed long in each other's society—they rather appeared to avoid meeting, and the constraint upon them when they did meet and talk together was more compatible with dislike o! ere* fear than the shyness of a love not brave enough to defclare itself and yet, in spite of all, there was no douht that John Smith had in*some way constituted himself her protector, and that she silently submitted to and even leaned upon liis guardianship.

All the new interests and excitements in bis life still left Jack Newenham plenty of time for his own affairs and there were moments when he could hardly force himself to stay another day away from that lonely ljttle girl in New York, chained to the bedside of an exacting, unsympathizing invalid. He had a reason for staying on which, springing out of his love for her, was strong enough to help him oonquer his own desires. Ho had written to tell her of Mr. Thomas Cairnes' death, though he had not informed her of the manner in which he met it. He only said that Tom Cairnes was dead, and that she need fear no more for her brother. That brother himself was the reason of his staying on at the "Red Unicorn." A suspicion was forming in his own mind which he wished to verify. Subtle as his questions were, watohful as he was of every word and look, Jack Newenham could gain no information from John Smith concerning his past life. His natural delicacy made it impossible to try to force a confidence he could only wait

In the meantime the would be avengers of the late Mr. Thomas Cairnes were not idle. The letter that had been found on the day of Jack Newenham's arrival, in a crevice of the wall of the cabin honored by the presence of Mr. Cairnes when at home, was now considered a certain clpw to tho discovery of the murderer. Tho letter was dated from Vennevillo, and one of the committeemen had himself gone there to make inquiries, but he had not yet returned, nor sent any message. The Hon. Jack Newenham heard a good deal about the affair. Partly from a hint given by Mr. John Smith and partly from his own feelings on the matter, he had given up all thought of resenting tho committeemen's inhospitable welcome, and he had also, as John Smith had prophesied, considerably modified his opinions on the rough mining population. He had on several occasions caught glimpses of things beneath the surface which had made him considerably ashamed of his previously drawn conclusions.

Acting upon all these considerations, he had made advances to the Irishman who had been the chief sufferer in that slight difference of opinion, and who had come out of tho fray in a much worse condition than the object of his wrath. Hie advance had been received with such complete absence of resentment or even recollection of that "trifling affair of honor, sorrir that Newenham was slightly surprised, and could not help laughing. That laughter, in which the Irishman heartily joined, dispelled all lingering distrust from his heart and they wero now all on the most friendly terms. So very perfect was the understanding that Jack Newenham waa invited to join the committee sitting with closed doors, and to inspect the Important letter itself. Mr. John Smith was also included in the invitation, he having gained the public confidence by the decided genius ho had shown ononeor two critical occasions and the business like way in which he hod helped4o carry out some sentences passed in defence of law and order.

The letter, with much srfamnitf, was laid upon the rods table in the room set apart for thb affair of justice until the tint* wben it should culminate in a noose hangtng from the branch of a certain tree. Them waa a cool determination, a quiet sternness in tho dark, sonbutnt faces gathered round the table that gave moral effect to tho scena Newenham took up the letter and read it calmly through, though how he did it heeeaOd not sly. Perhaps the all thorn watchful, resolute upon his tmat steadied him, it well hars shown mnbm knowing the •tafea, Ibe letter was ixom Churchill, signed with his fall was wtitfem under the pressure of 6mm ntge and d**pair. tgr rout who wm d^jtly maddened t^treacherr and ruin, writer swore would In**' his wewe if be *h*d to hunt |fr.

Thomas Cairnes down to the death. It was dated about a week before tho murder. "Guess we're on the trail, stranger," said one of tho men, as Newenham at last laid the letter upon the table. "Yos," bo replied, his voice sounding far off in his own ears.

Ho drew back from the circle of stern faced, resolute men, who would bo that brother's judges, and stood with his own face in the shadow. John Smith, carelessly advancing, took liis place. He lifted up the letter and read it quietly through. "I reckon this gentleman is euchred," said tho man who had spoken to Newenham. It was ho who had found the let ter, and he was feeling very triumphant "You bet," said John Smith laconically, laying the letter down upon the table. "Let's get out of this," whispered Newenham to him under cover of tho buzz of general conversaiion which then be gan.#

John Smith nodded, and they left the room together, making their way out of the bouse into the Rquare. They stood for a moment looking across the open space towards the street, which was comparatively quiet to-nifcht.

At the farther end a flare of flaming oil lamps from the open doors of the gambling saloon lighted up the summer evening dusk. Newenham, restless with a feverish excitement, harassed by doubts and fears, felt that anything would be welcome to take his thoughts away from the scene he had just witnessed. He suggested turning in there to see what sort cf a place the saloon was, as he had not yet paid it a visit.

John Smith acceded by simply turning in its direction. Some ten minutes' walking brought them to the hospitable doors of Mocnab's saloon. As John Smith unconcernedly made his way through the bar room, nodding carelessly nere and there to those of his acquaintances who, lounging about, helped to make up the crowd of smokers and at inkers, ho followed too, with a regretful thought of the fresh sweet air he had left outside.

They went on to a farther room, where tables were set about, each one containing its complement of "Silent, earnest gamblers, some of whom would sit playing there till daylight, their silence broken only by words marking the course of the game of occasional imprecations as the luck changed. The two young men strolled up to the tables John Smith, being greeted here and there with a silent nod by some more of his acquaintances at the tables, took up his place near one of them. A little later Newenham, happening to look up from a game in the progress of which he himself had become interested, caught sight of his friend, and was startled at the change which had taken place in him. John Smith, leaning against the opposite wall, was watching the play of four of his friends at the table close to him. His pipe had gone out, forgotten, though clenched between his set teeth. His face was pale and rigid with tho intense excitement of the unholy lust of play, and his eyes were gleaming with a fierce light

One of his friends at the table, glancing up at him as they proceeded to deal out afresh hand, saw tho-gambling fever stamped upon lite face and said: "Take a hand yourself, boss! You look like playing stakes with old Scratch hisself!"

MFo*

look lihe playing tUtkt* with old Scratch This remark attracted the attention of the other players at tho table. They looked up too, and with a laugh or an imprecation, according to their various modes of speech, repeated their fellow gam bier's invitation.

A sudden shudder shook John Smith from head to foot, breaking that ri*id terrible look of eager excitement, and he took the forgotten pipe from his lips. "NoP h« answered curtly.

In a way he was popular, hut the men Among whom his lines were cast felt that he lacked two things to make him A good comrade—neither gambled nor drank. It might have been the spirit of human weakness which doee not like to feel itself in the presence of superior strength, or it might have been mors directly prompted simply by the desire to win moocf from a novicss-but at any rate they suddenly attacked John Smith, trying to force him by entreaties, taunts, or jeering chaff to Join them. Per a moment or two, baited fay them all, John Smith kept ftfleace, his breath earning hard between bis set teeth. Then his ejes, glittering with a strange brightness, were turned furiously upon fcty $sssplei9 "1 wilt not nfer he aat& %swfag himself up to his fail height. "Far Fire sworn tasayse^ ne*«r to touch. anotfcesr card as Ilv^fpd HI iftef my oath. But, It isn% to save my pile, as wm i* aS, and mack *oaA, 'A -iifetli int-fri

may it do you! it will only carry you a little faster to the misery those cards have brought mo to!"

As his voice rang through the room he dashed down a handful of gold and silver on the table, scattering the cards, while the coins went spinning in every direction. The outbreak was so sudden and unexpected—be had gained the nickname of Sleepy Smith—that the men for a moment were silenced. In the sudden lull John Smith turned his back upon the table and passed rapidly down the room and disappeared through the doorway.

Newenham followed as swiftly as he could. He had been looking on at the soene of temptation with an interest so painful in its intentness that it could be measured only by the relief he felt at John Smith's victory. He overtook him outside in the starlight, but they walked on for some minutes in silence, John Smith apparently quite unconscious that he had a companion. Newenham was at length forced to break the silence by that new feeling of respect for his friend which had suddenly grown up in his heart "Why did you do that?" he asked. "I don't know," replied John Smith, thinking Newenham alluded to what had just taken place at the card table. He spoke now without any of the affectatioi^of roughness, and it was the rejined, rather than languid voice of a man accustomed to good society.

He did not see her till noonday, (or she had been keeping out of his way. He met her at last on the outskirts of the town, just as she was returning from a long walk, thinking by this time that he would have gone back to his claim at Red Mactarvish. She had gathered a spray of azalea somewhere in her wanderings, and as she came down the road holding it in one hand she was absently jmlling to pieces the delicate pink blossoms with the other.

At his unexpected appearance the warm blood rushed to her pale face, and she stood looking at him over that rosy cloud of blossoms, her breath coming fast, her bosom rising and falling with the yapid beating of her heart.

Her evident mental distress put an end to his self control, and he blurted out the reason of his seeking her, without any regard for eloquence or dignity of speech. He was only conscious of a wild, passionate desire to get her out of that place.

She looked at him first compassionately but

was

mad, I think, for the moment—men Are apt to make fools of themselves when they are mad." "I did n&t mean that—I meant, Why did you let tue take you there? If I had known" "It's tho first time I've been in such a place since-- But it did not matter" —rather wearily. "I wanted to see whether I could stand it and"—with an echo of that terrible passion—"I failed!" "Nonsense, my dear fellow! I don't know what has brought you here, but, after to-night, I would back you through thick and thin!"

John Smith stopped abruptly in the road, and turned to Newenham, his face looking very white in the starlight 'You don't know," he said steadily. "If you did, you would not say that I am a thief. One night I was at such a place as that, and a man was there who had a bundle of bank notes. I found them And took them."

Newenham drew back a step in the road. It was. a terrible confession for an honorable man to hear, and, if this man who made it were the man he suspected him to be, it was tenfold more degrading and repulsive. Probably that shrinking was unconscious, for Newenham was too generous to trample on a man who had fallen but, unconscious or not, John Smith noticed it, and felt the degradation keenly. Ho too moved further away. "Don't think I shall expect you to notice me," he said awkwardly, but with a touch of patient humility which gave the words a deep pathos. "It was because of that—that I tried to keep you off at first." Then he turned upon his heel and walked awiftly bapk towards the camp.

The next morning Mr. John Smith made an earnest attempt to induce Mr. Snaresbrook to leave the place. He walked into Deadman's Flat soon after daybreak, experience having taught him that that early hour was, iu a general way, the only one that saw Mr. Snaresbrook's intellect at all equal to grasping any situation with a necessary amount of clearness. The attempt, however, was a still more disastrous failure. Mr. Snaresbrook had received his arguments, entreaties and reproaohes with a dogged sullen silence, only relieved by an occasional angry gleam in his eyes, as if lie resented the young man's interference in his affairs, but the daughter received his entreaties in a manner that sent him from her dumb with dismay.

he went on with his

earnest, if rather Incoherent advice, her compassion alowly gave place to astonishment. Then suddenly that silent astonishment was turned to such a passion of anger, contempt and loathing—such a scathing, pitiless storm of words, that he stood aghast 2Go awayf she exclaimed, stretching out her slender quivering hand towards the red, dusty read. "Never speak to me again! Whatever I thought you—I did not imagine you were a base, contemptible coward! Go away, and never let me see your face again

He turned away without another word, and walked obediently down tho road pointed out for him by that trembling hand. He had no idea where it led to— except that it was oot of her sight As he turned away, he saw her sink down, all her strength exhausted in that outburst of possfe»J, the beautiful little brown h«ad bowed over the pink blossoms. He caught faintly the sound of a choked sob, hot he did not tarn back to help her. She had told him to go, and he wasgoia^ }to at cwmjncs»4
