Having said this, the Swede entered
one of the warerooms behind the counting-

said to him than he turned and whispered
to his outlaw father:

“Ah!” gasped Bazilio, his eyes again
blazing with suppressed passion.
"Yes. Bazilid—the marriage to be per¬
formed either in the city somewhere, or on
board our brig, as sho may decide after
further consuliation wilh me. We must
nlso cause the girl's lover to vanish this

“And how about the wealth which the
girl is to bring to you?” asked Bazilio, with
assumed carelessness.

after the wealth shall have been se¬
cured to me as the girl’s husband I shall
pay four-fifths of it into her greedy old
claws, and also one-half yearly of the in¬
come that shall thereafter accrue from the
other fifth of the inheritance."
“Can she prove that the girl is entitled
to the wealth she mentioned?"
“I have not the least doubt of that now,
Bazilio. ”
“Are the parents of the girl still living,
and are there no other heirs?”
“Her father and mother are still living
for all 1 know. The old woman has SUM
nothing about that. The girl is the sole
heir to the Perclair-Hawksworthy inherit-

nothing more than local. Chief Arthur
stated unreservedly (to use Arthur’s ex¬
actness.) there was “serious dunger that
the strike of the engineers and firemen
would uow spread widely. It is impos¬
sible to appease our men,” he said, “when
they know that railroad companies all
over the country are giving aid to the
Burlington. of We showing are continually in re¬
ceipt telegrams that the com¬
panies are rendering this assistance, and
it is not in my power, or the power of
any other man, to restrain them, unless
such things are involving stopped.” other The roads Burling¬
ton strike is at the
stockyards. Five Lake Shore engineers
refused to take a train of Burlington cars
from Englewood to Sixteenth street, in
Minneapolis, declaring they would quit
before they would haul anything bearing
the “Q” label. A Wabash switchman
refused to reciire Burlington ears, which
were brought to the yards at Root street.

it necessary to strike, and formally de-
cide to do so, in order to uphold their
brethren on the Chicago, Burlington &

a heavy train, switched on to its tracks

to whom the formal request was
sent, have either refused or are pre-
pared to reject, freight when offered.

It was learned that several
loads of freight consigned Grande for by
the Burlington to Rio
transfer to the West, arrived in the
yards. Orders were issued to have the
cars switched, but the engineer on the
switch engine refused to touch them.
Another engine was sent after them with
the same result. The cars were aban¬
doned, and the men say they will quit
before they move them. Indications are
that a strike ou the Kansas City, Fort
Scott and Gulf system is inevitable. The
Gulf road has announced its willingness
to handle freight, and unless it reconsid¬
ers this determination the men will sure¬
ly go out.
PRINTERS KILLED.
A AlRiBnchimetts Newspaper Burned Out—
A Great S*cri(Ice of Life.
The new office of the Evening Union ,
at Springfield, Mass., burned out, and the
blaze was attended with the most sicken¬
ing horror ever witnessed in that city, six
of the employes meeting a terrible death,
most of them crushed jumping into from shapeless the fifth story
and being a mass
below. Six others were badly injured.
The fire was discovered in the mailing
room, and clouds of smoke windows, were and pouring be¬
out of tho lower story
fore fifty souls on the upper floor were
aware of their danger, the flames shot up
an old elevator in the rear, cutting off
escape by the stairway, and most of the
employes who escaped found their way to
the ground by a roof in the rear. Some
were cut off in the composing room, and
there is still a terrible suspense, as several
fell back into the flumes. The employes
who rushed into the editorial room were
cut off from escape in the rear, and had
to face the horrible alternative of burning
to death or jumping to the sidewalk be¬
low. Four eomporitors suffered bad frac¬
tures of bones and serious bums. Two,
named Donehue aud Ensworth, the were
fatally hurt. It is thought that Are
started among lumber in a closet on the
ground floor. The flames were drawn up

man of the composing room, burned lo
death; Mrs. Ilattie E. Farley, aged twen¬ Miss

The Uliair Suited at Last.
A furniture dealer tells people a little consti¬ story
that shows how some are
tuted. A lady ordered an elegant made easy
chair of a peculiar kind. It was
and sent to her home. She examined it
carefully and critically, finally remark¬
ing that it suited her exactly with one
exception—it was too soft. She had the
man take the chair back to be made a
trifle harder. The chair was returned
to the store and put aside. Nothing
was done to it. After the lapse of about
a week the chair was sent out and again.
The woman again examined it thiB
time the chair was too hard. She was
sorry, but when she paid so much to
get an article for her own comfort she
wanted it about right, so she sent it
back to the store for another change.
The cliair was again put aside for a
week or ten days, and sent out for tho
third time without having a particle of
change made. This time it was jiaid just for
right. She took the chair and
it, and wits very sorry it hod not suited
her at first. The poor woman never knew
that tlie chair had not been changed a
particle .—Newburgh RegitUr.
