SHE WOULD TRAVEL ALONE.
A Woman' Terrible Adventure Trav
eling lit a Itallwiiy Train.
"I feel very uncomfortable about let
ting you travel alone," said Mr. A ,
as ho put his spouse on the northward
bound train at C .
"Why, I have done it over and over
again," said his wife languidly. She
waa a tall, fair woman, whose pretty
face bore tracea of recent illness; and,
aa she spoke she passed her delicate
baud, laden with costly rings, over her
forehead.
"It is too vexatious, too," continued
her husband, noting anxiously the
gesture, "that every Beat in tho draw
ing room car is taken. Don't you think
1 had better ask the conductor to look
alter you?"
"No, please don't, .lack," answered
hia wife; "he would only worry me. I
shad be comfortable enough, and, alter
an, it IB only six nours oeinre j. arrive iu
R , where i will meet the J! s.
Good-bye, dear,. and don't fret; I will
wire you this evening."
Alter hor hualiand lolt, Mrs. A
gave a careleaa look at her fellow-pas
sengera. In the seat across the aisle sat
a respectable looking, ruddy-faced
middle-aged woman, whom the invalid
regarded with Batisiaction. A man and
a woman, with a family of several chil
dren, occupied the place near tlio door;
tho rest of the car seemed empty, but as
her eyes followed the line oi Beats, she
felt a disagreeable Btart on finding her
gazo met by tho bold, direct stare of a
woll-droBHod, minister-looking man, who
occupied the third seat in her roar, liy
his side sat a burly-looking giant, who,
although cleanly anil neatly dressed, was
evidently of an interior class. Disagree
ably improssod, she knew not who, she
turned around, and, opening her book,
endeavored to beguile the tedium of the
journey.
Alter a couple of hours the express
stopped at , and here, to hor re
grot, she Biiw her kind looking neigh
bor leavo her aeat. The family party
that alio noticed also hurried past with
children and bundles, pushing past the
now people who were coining in, and it
was with a feeling of positive annoyance
that alio saw the two men behind her
leave thoir place, and quietly take posses'
sion of the seats the pleasant faced woman
had left vacant.
Again tho train sped on. Mra. A
felt quite vexed with herself on account
of tho unoaay, nervous feeling that
gradually stole over her, and the half
dread she felt of the dark, Mophitoph
elian looking man who had placed him
self so near her. Several timos she
looked toward him, fooling instinct
ively that liia eyee were fixed upon her,
and each time she never failed to find
the hold and glittering orbs staring into
her laco.
How absurd I am!" she said to hor-
aoK impatiently; "what barm could
anv mm do ni in ft car full of iieonle."

began to read.

H(llrt and a half-scream aa she felt,
rather than saw, the dreaded face bend-
i ing over her shoulder, while lie said:
We go. out at the next station,

Just at that moment the welcome
sound of "Tickets I" was beard from tho
conductor, who was making his rounds

before the train stopped. The man, to
to
the olliclal and, drawing him aside, en
gaged him in earneat conversation, hi
spite of herself, she could not help turn
ing around to see what her persecutor
was about, although she devoutly hoped
to see him leavo the train, thus making
it unnecessary to take any notice of his
behavior. That they were talking about
her was evident, for the conductor kept
glancing toward her as the man spoke,
and, to her annoyance, she saw him
resume hia seat and begin to confer
rapuilv with hia companion.
Uesolved to save horself from further
trouble, she laid her hand on the con
ductor a arm as ho passed.
"l'lease bend down your bead," she
said to him, in a low voice; "that man
iiiuat be out of his senses; he has been
annoying me ever since we leit C .
Will you please take me to the next
car?"
To her utter amazement and terror,
Ihe conductor only gave her a conuvis
sionate glance, and said gently: "Mad
am, you are under this gentleman's
charge, and he is goinn to take you
where you w ill be made quite well again ;
1 am auro a lady like you will go with
him quietlv."
Like a Has li tlio tngtittul situation
dawned upon her bewildered senses.
f bo man waa pretending she was mad,
and that he with his assistant, were
taking hor to an asylum. In vain Bhe
attempted an explanation ; terror paral
yzed iier tongue, and made her quite
incoherent. The horrible man smiled
dow n upon her, and she felt in her
weakness that a grewaome fate, over
w hich she had no control, put her in his
power. Her vehement protestations
and sobs were regarded by the kindly
conductor as so many symptoms of her
malady.
Meanwhile the train was stopping.
A tittle crowd collected around the
THE WEEKLY

Cash. All kinds
"poor mad lady," who was protesting so
vainly against her fate; and so in the
broad daylight, in the miust ot pitying,
warm-hearted people,, the unfortunate
woman was gently forced out of the
train, put in a carriage by the two men,
and driven rapidly away. More dead
than alive, she finally fainted.
When she came to herselt she was
alone in a strange room, lying on a sofa.
All the most recent dreadlul occurrences
rushed over her distracted mind as she
came to herself. The cause for the des
perate piece of villainy waa not difficult
to find; her coatly diamond and ruby
ringa, tier pocket-book containing a roll
of bills of several hundreds of dollars,
her watch and charm, and even the lit
tle pin that held her collar all had
vanished. But, thanks to heaven, she
was alone.
Tottering to her feet, she found she
was in a bar , clean little robin, with an
open window looking out on a tranquil
village street. Ab she opened the door
and looked out into the hall, an angular,
freckled-laced maiden appeared at the
foot of the stairs.
"D'you feel better?" she asked, with
a good-natured smileon her homely face.
"Your brother, he said you'd git all
right soon ; he told me to tell you that
he'd be back this alternoon late."
The kindly voice and the comforting
senae of a woman's companionship
caused the distraught, terrified crea
ture to burst into a storm of sobs, and
she brokenly told her story to the land
lord's daughter, who "kep' house for
pa." It naturally excited incredulity at
first, hut the good people believed her at
last, anil a telegram was sent to ner Hus
band from the nearest station.
Although tho greatest efforts were
made, no clow waa ever found to the
daring robbera. The man -who drove
the carriago said they engaged him to
drive a crazy lady to the next village.
She arrived in a faint, her natural weak
ness probably assisted by chloroform.
Her so-called "brother," explaining to
the landlord that she was ill and subject
to such "sinking" turns, left her in the
care of the daughter, and it was all done
so naturally anil apparently in such a
straightforward manner that no suspi
cion bad been engendered in the minds
of any one. Dreading the publicity, the
A s never prosecuted tho matter very
far, and they contrived to keep the mat
ter very quiet ; but it is well known as
an actual occurrence not so very long
ago.
The moral of the story ia this : No
delicate, nervous and timid woman,
lacking self-control and presonce of
mind, should bo allowed to travol alone.

SHERMAN ON THE ELECTION.
Siiys Ihe Silver Question Will He One of
the Issues hi the Next Election.
Cleveland. Ohio. Nov. 0 A corre
spondent of the Leader at Mansfield
sends an interview witn tenator sner
man on the recent election. In answer
to a question as to what ell'ect the result
in Ohio would have upon the election
next year the Senator said :
"In the first place, bo far as the Ke
publican party ia concerned, the result
in Ohio fixea the silver question as one
of the issues of the next presidential
contest and decidea it so far aa this State
is concerned. 1 am convinced that free
coinage will be passed by the Congress
which assembles in December. 1 also
believe such will be vetoed by l'reaident
Harrison. That will naturally make
free silver a feature of the next presi
dential light. In tact it will be a leading
issue upon which there is a vast differ
ence of opinion in both parties.
"His exactly like the tarill', for local
conditions and interests govern senti
ment and action. I doubt very much
wliethr the Democrats in the National
convention will proclaim for free coinage.
11 they should ihere will be no other is
sue oi significance in the next campaign,
and the financial battle that we fought
in Ohio will then be transferred to the
nation and a contest such as we have
never seen, will be the result. The tar
ilf will be a prominent, but not vital
point of thevontest.
"Then the McKinley bill will not be
the only thing in eight?," was asked
Sherman. "Not by any means. Its
principles, in the main, are correct. In
regard to, what pleases one section ex
cites another, and it is extremely diffi
cult to make a measure that will be ac
ceptable alike to consumer, productor
and manufacturer. The tariff question
is practically settling, but it will always
be a source of agitation as long aa the
government lasts. During the next ses
aion of congreaa it can hardly be consid
ered, but in the next campaign it will be
the leading isaue with the silver ques
tion, just as it has been in Ohio this
year."
RAILROADS DID IT.
They Were l'otent Fautorg, It 1 Said,
In the Kecent ElecLtou.
Chicaoo, Nov. 6 Railroads in the
West have been the most potent factors
in the recent State election. They claim
they wore forced to this course to save
their lines from practical confiscation.
It was a fight for existence and the rail
roads. It was the roads, rather than
the Democrats, that elected Boies gov
ernor of low a and changed the complex
ion of the railroad commission. Even
more was their power felt in Kansas,
where the railroads succeeded in defeat
ing nine of the 11 Alliance candidates
for county judgeships, as a consequence,
without regard to party. Chicago
officials of the Iowa and Kansas lines
are holding high carnival over the elec
tions in those States.
STAGE ROBBER SHOT.
Redoing, Cal,, Nov. 5 Ever since the
arrest of Howard and Jones for the rob
bery of the Redding & Alturas stage
about two weeks ago the offi
cers have been on the alert
for the parties interested with
them in helping them out, and
these two men were arrested near
Alturas a few davs ago, and in bringing
them down they" both got away from the
ollicers by slipping olf their shackles
and jumping out of the stage one on
either side of the stago and breaking
through the woods for liberty.
Since that time they have never been
seen until yesterday. An ollicer was on
their track when his horse was shot
from under him. Detective Tacker has
had charge of the whole matter. He at
once ordered Cornelius Howard, father
of the boy arrested, and his daughter
who iives with him on the ranch.
They were brought here for safe koep
ing, and he placed two men in Howard's
house to await developments, for he
knew that young Howard would return
heme in the night for something to eat,
and he was correct in his theory, for
laat night about 12 o'clock, while the
ollicers we e awaiting his arrival, who
should appear and knock at the door but
young Howard. The ollicers in the
house heard him coming long before he
knocked, and they immediately blew
out the lights.
Howard stepped up to the door and
knocked, saying "Father, father." The
ollicers opened the door and at the
same time ordered him to throw
up bis hands. He answered: "Go to
hell I" When one of the ollicers
tired, hitting him just above the heart,
killing him instantly. The coroner held
an inquest this morning and acquitted
the ollicer. Thacker is close on
the track of Jones, and he
will be taken either alive
or dead today. The man who was driv
ing the team at the time of the arrest of
Howard and Jones is now confined in
jail here.

The substantial outlines of the treaties

are concessions to inis country oi u.e ,
same duties aa to Austria-Hungary by j
the new treaty with that country lheae I
duties are about one-half thoae charged
upon similar products from other coun
tries. Germany makes these concesaions in i
return tor tree entry ot sugar granted ty i
the reciprocity section of the McKinley
act and to escape the imposition of the
duties over again at the beg nning of
the new year. The articles upon which
the United States will obtain a reduc
tion of duty corresponding to that
granted to "Austria-Hungary will be
wheat, wheat flour, rye and corn. Our
exports of these articles to Germany are
at present a mere bagatelle, but under
the lavoring conditions ot snort crops in
Kurope there is no reason why they
should not become at least as large aa
the exports of similar articles to Great
Britain.
Tho treaty which has been arranged
between the two countries is due
largely to the refusal of President Har
rison to accept the removal of the re
strictions on American pork as a fair
equivalent for a free market for German
sugar which was opened in this country
by McKinley's bill. Germany has al
ways insisted that the pork restrictions
were imposed for sanitary rensona and
the president pointed out that these
reasons were removed by the passage of
the inspection acts. If Germany wished
to retain the market we otfered for her
sugar, the president insisted tliat sue
should give ua some returns tor it, be
sides an act of common justice to the
pork product. lie made this so plain
that the German minister yielded uor
point and the treaty which is about to
be made public resulted.

Then he and i'elton made threats
against several citizens of Merrouge,
and for this Smith was arrested on Mon
day. Felton then became more violent,
and both here and at Merrouge he
threatened incendiarism and personal
violence if Smith waa not immediately
liberated. As a resuit Felton also was
jailed. By this time public feeling
against the two men became intense,
and last night it culminated in the

Ni:w Yohk, Nov. 5 The Herald's Rio
Janeiro correspondent saya: The
tight so long maintained by Con
gress on one side and President
De Fonseca and the government on
the other has reached a eli mination.
For quite a time their dillerences have
been over financial affaire, the measures
pressed by the legislature being vetoed
by the chief magistrate, and changes
advocated by the president were voted
down by Congress. Recently an attempt
was made to curb the power of the chief
executive. The fact that De Fonseca is
a military man led manv to fear
or to pretend to fear that
he might proclaim himself dictator.
To prevent any bucIi contingency Con
gresB awhile ago passed a law fixing the
process for impeachment of l'reaident.
De Fonseca vetoed the measure. His
veto was overruled by Congress. As
soon as this action was made known to
De Fonseca he became very excited and
thereupon dissolved Congress. Martial
law was proclaimed throughout Rio
Janeiro and other States forming the
confederacy. What the upahot will be
no one can sav.
The feeling here is one of great fear of
what mav follow. The dissolution of
Congress may result in the choice of an
other President. De Fonseca was not
chosen by the people, but by Congress.
In case of an uprising De I"onseca will
have the army and navy solidly at his
back. The opposition to military rulers
has continued very marked. All cable
and telegraph messages are subjected to
censorship. The same is true of news
agencies. '
Another Version of the Connection of
ISlanchard With the Cairo It ond.
Cuicaqo, Nov. 5 George R. Blanch
ard, chairman of the Central Traffic as
sociation, comes out with another ver
sion of the story concerning his connec
tion with the Cairo Short Line and his
suit against Donald McLean. He says :
"I deemed the Pacific Short Line an
enterprise of intrinsic merit. James M.
Clark, late president of the Illinois Cen
tral railroad, personally examined the
whole route and reported that grading
a shorter distance and local resources
would make it the best transcontinental
line. I therefore became interested in
its construction with Francis O. Fench,
president of the Manhattan Trust com
pany and others and in the final distri
bution received only $108,000 of the Im
provement stock at par for services ren
dered. McLean told me he could sell
one-half this amount, or $84,000, at 15
per cent., which I authorized him to do
in October, 1S88.
"In the following December he re
ported the sale of the amount at that

were cast to decide who should kill hi'u,
and it fell to the lot of Lieutenant
Colonel Gandarillas, of Balmaceda's
army, to do so.
