the language of tho heart.
For many minutes he gazed vacantly at
the half sheets scattered over tho table,
Then collectingth >miu order, he took from
a drawer 0 small penknife of Emily’s, and
apiece of blue ribbon which had once
bound Emily's hair.
Securing the half sheets together, he
looked at the manuscript for a moment, as
he held it in his hand, almost afl'ectionatoly
and quite sadly, then placed it in the pock-
et of his overrent. This done, he sighed
with extreme relief.
Thus he chronicled his second discovery,

Thus ‘ran half sheets:

CHAPTER XIV.
THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Everybody on platform number one was
laboring under great excitement.
There was a small crowd of excited out¬
siders, a group of persons who had each
(hat pale frightened look, while the clothes
of four or five wero soiled and torn; an
engineer talking loudly to throe policemen, station-
a knot of startled listeners, nnd tho

a less profound impression than that
cner.y-svoling that doubt which palled him at
moment.
The potter came back with all the infer-
tuahou he cou d git an.
The passengers who had escaped, he
said, were then on the platform, lntelli-
jcnce had boon received that tho b idie.-i
p Jui elderly lady and gentleman had been
found on the removal of inn of tho sliat-
-ered curs, and that thero wore no other
bodies there
All hope that Emily was unhurt was
goue!
His stupor disappeared with tho sns
reuse, aud in its placo came a fever of wild
excitement.
1 ho man a'most feared Will not", for
there etc lines 0:1 his fnca which were not
there a moment before, and his eyes seemed
twice tho size they were when ho had first
spoken lo him.
Sho was not ki Led. The porter swore to
the truth of that.
Theie were nine killed, but Emily was
not among them. Two of the nine were
young women, b it their bod.es had already
been id ntilied. They had been residents
in 1 be town.
Vi ll! s heart thanked God for that mercy.
He questioned tho man as to the injure 1
uud dying, and cunningly framed his ijnes-
tiuns so that the porter could answer them
in a few words.
There were four or five passengers who
had sustained slight external injuries.
Among them was a young woman who was
unknown.
There were three passengers, too, seri¬
ously injured. They had been carried to
the hotel opposite tho station, whe:e they
were now being attended to by the principal
doctors of the town.
The three seriously injured passengers
were a gentleman, his little daughter, aud a
1 oung woman.
And this was all the porter had to tell
him.
“Hupeit’il be all right, rir,” he said, as
Will hurried away.
Without a moment’s delay the young mar
left the slat on, aud, crossing the road, en¬
tered the hotel,
Around the opeu door a small crowd had
collected.
The proprietor happened to be standing
in the hall when Will entered. The younr
man’s pale face, wild eyes and excited man¬
ner keeper, instantly told his errand to the hotel¬
who said iu a kindly tone:
"Follow me, if you please, sir;* nnO
Will, obey.ng, was led to tho empty coffee-
room.
Tryfoil explained, incoherently, that Ik
wished to see the young lady who had been
injured in the railway accident.
The reply was that he could not do so—
at least not just then.
"Do you know her name?’’ gasped Will.
“Can you describe her? For God sake an¬
swer me!’’
The hotel-keeper did not know her name.
He believed that her clothes had beau
searched, and th it no letter, or card, or ad¬
dress had been found upon them. When
ghe had been brought in he had been too
excited to observe her appearance: so he
con’d not describe her. She was ecr-
tally young, and he fancied that her bail
was fair.

LABOR MATTERS.
The disagreement in district a seniblv

York City, caused by tlie conduct of Mas¬
ter Workman James E. Quinn, which
Master Workman Powderly attempted
to adjust some time ago, has at laU cul¬
minated in a split. At a meeting held
on Sunday, Quinn ri fused to open the
proceedings unless four men whom he
had expelled for insubordination, left the
room. As they declined, Quinn and his
friends left the hall and established them¬
selves at another place taking the charter
with him. Delegates from 138 local as¬
semblies went with him, and those from
87 assemblies remained. D. A. 49 owns

that those in the meeting represented

About 2,000 Italians assembled in Kelly’s
hall in Philadelphia, Pa., to protest
against tlie statements that had been
made that they were a pauper class, and
that the recently appointed committee
proposes to investigate the matter. The
following r. solutions were present*, d,
with a long introduction in Italian,
and went through with a rush: “This
meeting condemns tlie nction of the Itnl-
inn societies of immigration the in humilia- land of

slaves and padrones. That we are
ing the laws of this glorious ostracism republic,
and pray and hope no law of

as it is contrary to liberty and the

which called the meeting together had
the flavor of revolutionary language about
it.

A DETECTIVE’S SHOT.
Wash Middleton, the noted Bald
Knobber of Taney county, Mo., escaped
from Forsyth jail last October, and lied
to the mountain fastnesses of Newton
county, Ark., saying that he would never
be taken alive. J. L. Holt, a detective
from Colorado, went into northern Ar¬
kansas for a season of rest amoug the
mountains of that wild region, and li ear-
ing of Middleton and the $000 reward,
at once began to plan for the capture disguised ot
the outlaw. The detective
himself, putting on a suit of Middleton very ragged
clothes, and shadowed as
closely as possible, the ^seeking his an oppor¬
tunity to “get, drop” on man so
that he might take him alive. There was
a picnic recently at the head of Buffalo
river, ten miles south of Jasper, Newton
county. Middleton and bis two sous
went to the picnic, all well armed and on
the alert as usual. The disguised detect¬
ive was on the ground also, watching his
game. Holt resolved to make a bold
venture and openly face Middleton in the
crowd. Middleton soon became sus¬
picious of the mysterious movements of
the ragged stranger who followed him
everywhere through the crowd, and told
Ids sons that the man meant mischief and
instructed them to decoy him 0 ”t of the
crowd and he would kill “the »i eaking
thief. ” Holt kept closely after his prey,
could however, and Middleton, seeing that tie
not get his man out of the
crowd turned suddenly on the detective
and demanded his purpose, saying mind at the
same time: “I have made up my to
kill you, you sneaking thief.” In an
instant Holt’s pistol was glistening a few
inches iu front of Middleton’s face and
the words, “Hands up; you are my pris¬
oner,” told the fugitive outlaw that his
suspicions Holt were well founded. Although
had the drop on his man, Middle-
ton’s right hand, instead of going up,
grasped a revolver at his left side, aud
the detective fired, the ball entering the
cheek about an inch below the eye, pass¬
ing through the brain and coming out at
the back of the head. Middleton fell
lifeless to the ground in the midst of a
crowd surrounding a lemonade stand.
So quickly was the fatal work that the
report of the detective’s pistol nnd the
falling of the slain outlaw were the first
intimations that the gay picnickers, not
oyer ten feet away, iiad pi the. affair., ;
