As John turned to go a puff of air struok his face and the flames shot up far over the loot The thunder began to sound distinctly’, and few drops more a of rain pattered against the house. Then came another gust of wind, aud the flames enveloped the man- sion like a mantle. Then again came still¬ ness. only relieved by the crackling of the Nothing now but the intervention of prov¬ idence could save tho building from de¬ struction. A faint hope buoyed up the inmates, W hat they had so feared in the early even¬ ing, they now looked to for their only help. Tor an instant the entire heavens were abazo with electricity, and a deafening peal of thunder shook the very foundation of the structure, and made the frightened peo- p o ciouekgi tiiiror. A mournful sound fol¬ lowed like the groaning of some great mon¬ ster, and then the storm struck the hous.\ Then the flood-gates of heaven were opened and the rain poured down in tor¬ rents. crash The of lightning Blunder was continuous, and the that followed deafening. Gradually the light waned aud in a few minutes tho lire was exiingnished. For an hour the elements continued battling above the drenched earth, and then the storm de¬ parted as quickly as it had come, aud the by people who were thus providentially saved the opportune interference of nature be¬ lieved that “God fights the battles of tho just,” The bushwhackers must have had a sim¬ ilar thought, for they slunk away and left the persecuted people to enjoy another quiet night. Our friends had been acting entirely on tho defensive, but this began to grow mon¬ otonous, and John and Henry concluded that unless the bushwhackers continued to press matters, they would change the order of things. A few days had passed away, and our friends had not seen anything more of their enemios. They time believed that it was only a question of when the rascalB would again put in an appearance, and thoy kept a continual watch for them. One day two men rode up to the man¬ sion gato and asked to see the proprietor. Two guns were leveled at the strangers from the windows, and John with his rifle walked out on the porch. “Who are you, and what do you want?” he demanded. “We’re friends, the and are huntings place to stop, ” was reply. “ Well, lay down your guns and come up to the house.” They roadily complied, aud left tbeir guns leaning against the fence, and strolled lei- surely up the path, but kept a walch upon the Wire Road fiom which they had come. As they came up the steps one of the strangers—who was poorly dressed, but possessed of a fair-looking countenance, with honest gray eyes, which looked un- reaehed”out Uiuchingly unilir John’s searching and gnze— took his long, bony hand that of our hero with such fervor that it made that young man wince. “Air. Eddies, I ’sposeV” name? “Yes, sir; and your “William Gunn. Folks call me Bill, though.” meet Air. Gunn. If you “Glad to you, perfectly wel- are a friendly ’gun,’ you are ‘son-of-a-gun’ come, but w’6 don’t want any here these times,” John remarked, , seeming¬ ly iu plav, but wholly in earnest. “If I am correctly informed, yon Lave been over the Wire Hoad a great deal lately, and I have reason to believe that we have traveled the road before, ” the stranger Bame replied, paying no attention to the light re¬ marks of our hero. , .. A few quick flashes of the hands of the two men, and there was a mystic them tie, a con¬ that fidence, established between nothing could shake. John then turned to the other stranger, who stood smiling at the actions of the two men before him. “And this man?” John asked. “He's all right. I vouch for him, the stranger answered, and the three entered the house. CHAPTER XIII. AS ATTACK IN THE BEAR. The two men were introduced to the fam¬ ily and were cordially received. When Jeff was reached in tho introduc¬ tion the men looked inquiringly at John. “A better friend, nora whiter man, never lived than this one, and no one could slight me nor hurt me more than to insult him. He has saved my life, audheis my friend. And John Eddies placed his hand on the shoulder of the faithful colored man. Jeff bowed low to the new men, and wlien they reached out their hands be took thorn with a fervor that convinced them of tho warm heart of the n®8[°- , After they were seated, the first speaker, Bill, began and told our friends why ha was here. from the North a “I came down here h /admail left could out o estate my brother at his death, a few months before.

They were not long in at which they left their got te. to They place then about went on foot unt.l^hej where a a hundred yards below the roads united. The r?ason they selected that particular locality was because they could see the bushwhackers when thoy left the Wire lload in going down, and an¬ other reason was that hero the valley was not over lifty feet broad, aud afforded an excellent oppoitunity to get in sure work at the proper time. Five minutes passed, and then ten, but no person came in sight. A half-hour went slowiy by, and our friends began to be im¬ patient. Forty-five minutes had tied and- “There they come!" whispered John. As the others looked, they saw a body of men slowly and quietly tiling along. They reached the Hollows Road, but kept right on past it ani up the Wire Road. Our frio; d.s looked at each other in sur¬ prise. This was a turn in affairs that was unexpected. “I know what the scoundrels mean!” John exclaimed, “Follow me and we’ll yet beat them at their little game. ” after Getting (heir horses they rode slowly the men that had preceded them. They would occasionally see the crowd in the distance, but they kept far in the rear, aud as much ns possible in the shadows, that they might not be discovered. When they had turned the corner that showed the road clear for some distance in front of tho mansion, they saw that the gang had halted a few hundred yards beyond. They were crowded together in a mass, and appeared to be consulting. After a lit¬ tle time spent in the road, they vanished into the woods that led to the back of the building on the north. They all now knew that the mansion was once more to be assailed. When the three men got opposite the plantation gate they opened it and turned in their horses. The gate was then closed, the men crossed the road, in the shadow of the trees, went past the man- sion until they hail arrived at the spot where the bushwhackers had left the road, win n they hastily crossed it, and making a detour came up so that the rear of the great building was easily seen through the trees, A few dark forms could be seeu flitting about in tho dim light, aud our friends knew they were up to some devilish scheme. A bunch of men not ten yards away could be seen, and Johu determined to try and get near them. Taking the shadows of friendly trees, the three men stealthily crawled forward until they had reached a pile of dead brush only a few yards dis- tant from the six men, who were awaiting the action of their comrades, who now could bo seen snenking close up to the building. tried the “We ’uns to burn up curs, tother night, but the rain kem and put out thor lire for us. Goramighty, now it rained!” said one of the gang. “Is the Capting filin’ ther charge, or is it Woodsley?” inquired another. blow the devil “It’s the Capting, and he’ll outen the ole ranch, ” was the reply. John reached over and whispered in Gunn’s ear: “Take the left one;” then turning to Jeff he whispered, “lake the right-hand one,” aud raised his own gun. “What ’n the deuce is that? I heerd a bush snap!” said one of the gang. “O, yer skeered! Yer afeard——” But tho seteecn sawn never finished, for the reports of three guns resounded through the woods, and three men fell in a heap on the ground, mortally wounded. As soon as the smoko arose so that the aim was sure, two more shots were given them, and then those that were able fled pre¬ cipitately. In a moment more four men were seen running toward our friends. When they arrived at the spot where their com¬ rades had been, and they saw the forms ly¬ ing before them, they seemed dazed. Once more the thro* guns belched forth their fire and metal, and two more of tho bushwhackers dropped in their tracks, and the other two fled with the speed of the wind toward the road.

Mr. Ilovey, of took the floor to reply to the speech of Mr. Matson, of Indiana, printed in the Congressional Record of Sunday last, upon the subject of pen¬ sions, which speech, Mr. Hovey said, had not been delivered in the House. Mr. Hovey’s speech started a long debate upon the question as to which of the po¬ litical parties had been the most liberal in its dealings with soldiers of tho late War. The consideration of the bill was then resumed after some debate about return¬ ing battle flags, and for some time ran smoothly until Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, precipitated a brief tariff debate by a few remarks on the subject of the surplus. During its progress, Bynum, of Indiana, said that he was not violating any confi¬ dences of the committee room in stating that when the Mill’s bill was being con¬ sidered in the committee, the gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Kelley), had made a motion to repeal the entire tobacco tax. On that motion, Messrs. Kelly and Reed voted in the affirma¬ tive. Messrs. McKinley, Brown and Burrows, voted against it. He cited this as showing that the majority of Re¬ publicans, represented on the committee, were not in favor of the repeal of the to¬ bacco tax. Mr. Dingley declared that if the tobacco provision of the Mills bill had been put into a separate bill it could have been passed at any time. Mr. Compton, of Maryland, as i representa¬ tive of a tobacco-growing district, an¬ nounced his readiness to meet the issue squarely in his district in support of Mr. Mill’s bill. U OSSIP.

On Thursday, May Patton, of Johns¬ ton, Pa., shot and killed Charles De- Knighf, a well known young man of Lawrenceville, and then blew her brains out. The tragedy took place in the Metropolitan hotel. The couple called at the hotel at five o’clock in the morning. DeKnigbt registered as C. Lewis and wife, of Johnstown. They were heard given from a room, and nothing more the was them until 9:30, when guests were startled by the report of two pistol shots in quick succession. The hotel clerk ran to the room, but the door was locked and it was necessary to break it down to effect an entrance. On the floor was DeKnight, dead, with a bullet hole in his temple, and lying on the side of the bed was the woman, also dead, with blood trickling from a wound in her head, a revolver still tightly clasped in her hand. She was quite handsome, and about twenty years of age. DeKnight and was a Pullman car conductor, lived with his parents in Lawrenceville. He was about twenty-four years of age.

They became so bold that they defied arrest, and the last deputy United Btates marshal who visited that section was run off, and ordered by the moonshiners never to return. Recently this gang of moonshiners waylaid and murdered a prominent citizen of the county for hia money.
