"No," answers the don dryly, passing his long fingers with some significance over the many seams in his long face, "but we must go where the Moors are to be found, on the other side of the straits." On Saturday a gang from Browntowu, of which Patrick McCue was a member, lndnlged in a carousal on the river bank, near the Hospital, at which several kegs of beer were disposed of. It is said th»t Thos. Gerrlty, who Is the leader of a crowd from Sebastopol, was also preeent, and that the whole affair waa started there. While they were in Oregon soms of the men went in swimming and one of them narrowly escaped drowning It is said some of them refused to go to his rescue, saying, "Let him drown," but a couple of the party reaoued him. market place." "I have seen 'em sold by the score there," says Evans, "and fetch but ail onion a head." In this manner (fid Simon halt betwixt two ways like one distracted, but only he did mingle a mass of sacred words with his arguments which seemed to me naught but profanity, his sole QOneom being the gnin of money. Then he falls to the old excuses Don Sanchez had told us of, saying ho had no money of his own, and offering to show his books that we might see ho had taken not one penny Ix yond his bare expenses from the estate, save his yearly wage, and that no more than Sir Thomas had given him in his lifetime. "By good fortune the mother and daughter were bought by Sidi ten Moula, a rich old merchant who was smitten by the pretty, delicate looks of Judith, whom lw thenceforth treated as if she had been his own child. In this condition they lived with greater happiness than falls to the lot of most slaves until the beginning of last year, when Sidi died, and his possessions fell to his brother, Djre ben Moula. Then Mrs. Godwin appeals to Bare for her liberty and to be scut home to hor country, saying that what price (in reason) ho chooses to set ujion their heads sho will pay from her estatein England—u thing which she had proposed before to Sidi, he would not hear of it because of his love for Judith and his needing no greater fortune than he had. But this Bare, though he would he very well content, being also an old man, to have his household managed by Mrs. Godwin and to adopt Judith as his child, being of a more avaricious turn than his brother, at length consents to it on condition that her ransoms be paid before she quits Barbary. And so, casting «lbOTl+ bow this mar W \fro QM. win finds a captive whose price has been paid about to be taken to Maggiore, and to him she intrusts two letters. " Here Don Sanchez pulls two folded sheets of vellum from his pocket, and presenting one to mo he says: "Well," says Dawson, "all's as one whither wo go in safety if we're to be out of our fortune for a year. There's nothing more for our Moll to learn, I suppose, senor." "You see," says Don Sanchez when they were gone out of the room, "how impossible it is that Mrs. Godwin and her daughter shall be redeemed from captivity. Tomorrow I shall show you what kind of a fellow this steward is that he should have the handling of this fortune father than me." CHAPTER IV. Finding a sheltered secret corner, we about our project, saying that, being bo young, who hud no conscience to speak of and would like nothing better tliiui to take part in atoy p*Dco of mischief, But against this I protested, seeing that it would be dangerous our design to lot her know to much (khe having a woman's tongue in her head), and also of a bad tendency to maV her, its it wore, at th*D rery beginning of her life, a knowrfrlg active party to what looked iep ,ai a fraud.

Then presently, with an indifferent, careless air, as if 'twas naught, he gives us a purse and bids us go out in the town to furnish ourselves with what disguise was necessary to our purpc Dse. Therewith Dawson gets him some seaman's old eJathes at a Jew's, and I a very neat) presentable suit of cloth, etc., and the rest of the money we take back to Don Sanchez without taking so much as a penny for our other uses, but ho, doing all things very magnificent, would have none of it, but bade us keep it against onr other necessities. And now, having his money in our packets, we felt 'twould bo more d ishonest to go back from this business than to go forward with it, lead lis whither it might.

So prithee, friend, give mo time to commune with my With this he rings the bell for our reckoning, and so ends our discussion, neither Dawson nor I having a word to say in answer to this last hit, which showed us pretty plainly that in reaching round with her long leg for our shins Moll had caught the don's long shanks a kick that night she was seized with a cough. In the evening the two gangs came to town and after spending the early part of the night drinking and carousing, they met In a saloon on South Main street Witnesses say that while In the saloon a quarrel began, that MoCue choked Gerrlty and that Gerrlty then drew hla revolver, but he «m persuaded not to shoot. About eleven o'oloek Gerrlty with his followers left the saloon and went down Main street. They were shortly afterward followed by MoOne and hla crowd, who took the oppo site side of the street from Gerrlty on their way down. Those who saw them say that MoOne carried two large cobblestones.

In the morning we found the don just as kind to us as the -day before he h;id been cureless and so made ns eat breakfast with hini, to our great content.

These delicacies father oarried to lier, being charged by the don to tell her that we should be gone for a couple of days, and that in our absence she might command whatever she felt was necessary to her complete recovery against our return. Then I told Don Sanchez how we had resolved to tell Mull no more of our purpose than, was necessary for the moment, which pleased him, I thought, mightily, he saying that our success or failure depended upon secrecy as much as anything, for which reason ho had kept us in the dark as much as ever it was possible. conscience.'' A MURDERER CAPTURED. Don Sanchez hunches up his slioul ders and turns to us. The Slayer of Feore Mmrchetti Jailed in Tyrol, Austria. "Why, look here, master," says Dawsou. "I can't see that yon need much enlightenment to answer yes or no to a fair offer, and as for me I'm not going to hang in a hedge for a blue moon. So if you won't clap hands on the bargain without mnre ado I throw this business overboard and shall eount I've done the best day's work of my life in getting out of the affair. " Peter Patlrnoeter, the Austrian, who on the 15th of last April, mnrdered Feore Marobetti, at New London, and for whom the officers have been on the lookont constantly, has been captured, and is now in jail at Treont, Tyrol, Austria.

Next morning off we go betimes, Jack more like Robert Evans than his mother's son, and I a most seeming substantial man (so that 9 very stableman took off his hat to me), and on very good horses a long liiio to Chiselhurst. And then coming to a monstrous fine park Don Sanchez staid us before the gates, and bidding us look up a broad avenue of great oaks to a most surprising fine house he told us this was Hurst Court, and we might have it for our own within a year if we were so minded.Coming to the Bell (more dead than alive) about 8, and pitch dark, we were greatly surprised that we could make no one hear to take our horses, and, fur- About 0 oomes back oar don on a fine horse and receives oar salutations with a cool nod—we standing there of a row, looking our sweetest, like hungry dogs in expectation of a bona Then in he goes to the house without a word, and now my worsts fear was that he had thought better if his offer and would abandon it SURVIVORS OF THE FUTMKOOHD.

Shortly after he stated a desire to go to hla home In Browntown and Insisted upon walking, bat when aboutfive hundred feet from hla home the friends who were with him sotioed that he waa getting weaker, and before he had gone mnoh farther they were compelled to carry him. Dr. Hutohins waa summoned, who prononnoed the injary fatal and afterward Father Oreve administered the aacrament to the dying man. A ooming event of oonalderable Inters* is the annual reunion of the Fifty C«tooad Regiment Aaaoclatlon to be held here on Sept. 18. About 100 survlvon of the Regiment are expected to be preaent, and It is evident that the veterana are aa glad to have their reunion here aa the p—»p|f of the oity are to have them come. One at them, an old Pittetonian, H. R. Crawford, of New York city, writing to the eeontary in reeponse to the invitation pays Pittaton a deserved compliment. He aaya: "In my opinion, the seleotion of the ply* tor the gathering is a moat happy one. Daring our term of aervloe for the at the Union, our Regiment no more sympathetic helpers and admirers the good people of Pittaton, whoee haaito and prayers and material aid wen freely proffered for onr llvea and oomfort. Aa • boy, youth, and man, I have pleaaant lasting recollections of the Pittaton and occasionally make a rilgrimags to that mecoa of hospitality and friendship, and renew old associations with its patriotic citizens. I feel that the element of Pittaton will give as a loyal and hearty weloome, and make the day one long to be remembered by the surviving oomradea of the Fifty eecond." And I, seeing the signature Elizabeth Godwin, answer quickly enough, "Aye, 'tis my dear cousin Bess, her own hand." "My friends," says he, "therecan be scarce nnv hope at all if thou wilt not hazard thy money fur such a prodigious advantage.'' Then turning to Peter as his last hope he asks in despair, "What shall we do, my brother?" The Eslielman-Rlcharda Wedding. "This," says the don, handing the other to Evans, "youmay understand." The wedding of Lewis F. Eshelman to Miss Jennie Richards, daughter of Mrs. M E Richards, of 307 Lucerne avenue, two of West Pitts ton's well known and popular young people, took place last Friday at the home of the bride. Rev. S. J. Arthur, of the Luzerne Avenue Baptist Church, performed the oeremony. The bride was charmingly attired In a pretty costume of pearl gray silk with lace trimmings and looked beautiful, while her maid, Miss Laura Leyh, of Ashley, wore a becoming drees of Nile green silk. Both carried bouquets of Marechal Nlel roses. Fred. Eshelman, a brother of the groom, was his beat man. The ceremony over, the newly-wedded couple were eitended hearty congratulations, after whleh an elegant collation waa served to about one hundred gneeta. The preeents were numerous and ooetly, comprising a large display of linen, ailverware, China and many other useful and ornamental gifts, a large nnmber of them being from relatives and friends from oat of town. During the evening varioui forms of amusement were indulged In by the yonnger part of the oompany and a very pleasant evening spent Mr. and Mrs. Eshelman will not take the customary wedding tour, but will go immediately to housekeeping with the bride's mother. Among thoee at the wedding from out of town Here: So there we hang about the best part of an hour, now thinking the don would presently send for us and then growing to despair of everything but to be left in the oold forgotten, but in the end comes Master Landlord to tell us his worship in the cherry room would see us. So, after the same formalities of cleansing ourselves as the night afore, up stairs we go at the heels of a drawer carrying a roast pig, which to our senses was more delightful than any bunch of flowers. "I Ciui make out 'tis writ in the Moorish style," says Evans, "but the meaning of it I know not, for I can't tell a great A from a bull's foot, though it be in printed English."- Hence, at no great distance, we reach a square, plain house, the windows all barred with stout iron, and the most like a prison I did ever see. Here Don Sanchez ringing a bell, a little grating in the door is opened, suid after some parley we are admitted by a sturdy fellow carrying a cudgel in his hand. So we into a cold room, with not a spark of fire on the hearth but a few ashes, no hangings to the windows, nor any ornament or comfort at all, but only a table and half a dozen wooden stools, and a number of shelves against the wall full of account books and papers protected by a grating of stout wire secured with sundry padlocks. And here, behind a tableful of papers, sat our steward, Simon Stout in faith, a most withered, lean old man, clothed all in leather, wearing no wig, but his own rusty gray hair falling lank on his shoulders, with a sour face of a very jaundiced complexion, and pale eyes that seemed to swim in a yellowish rheum, which he was forever a-mopping with a rag. "We can keep on a-praying, friend Simon," replies Peter in a sniveling " 'Tis sin undertaking on the part of Bare ben Moula," says tho don, "to deliver up at in Barbary the persons of Mrs. Godwin and her daughter against the payment of 5,000 gold ducats within one year. The other writing tells its own story." voice, "A blessed thought," exclaims the steward in glee. "Snrely that is more righteous than to lay faith in our own vain effort. So do thou, friend," turning to me, "put thy money to this use, for I will none. " About 8 o'clock three ntddle nags were brought to tho door, and we, mounting, set out for London, where we arrived about 10, the roads being fairly passable save in the marshy parts about Shoreditch, where the mire was knee deep; so to Gracious street, and there leaving our nags at the Turk inn, we walked down to the bridge stairs, and thence with a pair of oars to Greenwich. Here, after our tedious chilly voyage, we were not ill pleased to see the inside of an inn once more, and Don Sanchez, taking us to the king's posting house, orders a fire to be lighted in a orivate room, and the best there was in the larder to be served us in the warm parlor. While we were at our trenchers Don Sanchez says: "I cannot do that, sir," says I, "without an assurance that Mrs. Godwin's estate will bear this charge." After the ahooting Gerrity and his friends scattered In all direction*, Gerrity running down the back alleys. Chief Loftus, upon learning of the ahooting immediately went to the aoene and assisted by Oonatable Bennett, he searched all the back aileya bnt waa unable to locate Gerrity. They afterwards went to hie home In Sebaatopol, but failed to find him there. The aearah waa then given up for a while and at alx o'olock in the morning the Chief and the Constable again proceeded to his home where they found him and put him under arrest. He was looked op In the station he use and at ten o'olock waa taken before Alderman Loftua who oommltted him to await the the result of UcCue's inj arise. With a gesture of his haSds, after saluting us with great dignity, Don Sanchez bade us take our places at the table and with never a word of question as to our decision, but that was scarce necessary, for it needed no subtle observation to perceive that we would accept any conditions to get our share of that roast pig. This supper differed not greatly from the former, save that our Moll was taken with a kind of tickling at the throat which presently attracted our notice. Mr. Hopkins took the first sheet from me and read it aloud. It was addressed to Mr. Thomas Godwin, Hurst Court, Chisolhurst, in Kent, and after giving such particulars of hor past as we had already heard from Don Sanchez she writes thus: "And now, my dear nephow, as I doubt not you (as the nearest of my kindred to my dear husband after us two poor relicts) have taken possession of his estate in the belief we were all lost in our voyage from Italy, I do pray you for the love of God and of morcy to deliver us from our bondage by sending hither a ship with money for our ransom forthwith, and be assured by this that I shall not dispossess you of your fortune (more than my bitter circumstances do now require), so that I but come homo to die in a Christian country and have my sweet Judith where she may be less exposed to harm than in this infidel country. I count upon your love—being ever a dear nephew —and am your most hopeful, trusting and loving aunt, Elizabeth Godwin." "What," cries Jack. "You have filched a couple of gpoonsT" With wondrous alacrity Simon fetches a book with a plan of the estate, whereby he showed us that not a building on the estate was uuteminted, not a niugle tenant in arrear with his rent, and that the value of the property with all deductions made was £05,000. ther, having turned the brutes into the stable ourselves, to find never a soul in the common room or parlor, so that the place seemed quite forsaken. But hearing a loud guffaw of laughter from below we go down stairs to the kitchen, which we could scarce enter for the crowd in the doorway. And here all darkness, save for a sheet hung at the farther end, and lit from behind, on which a kind of phantasmagory play of "Jack and the Giant" was being acted by shadow characters cut out of paper, the performer being hid by a board that served as a stage for the puppets. And who should this performer be but our Moll, as we knew by her voice, and most admirably she did it, setting all in a roar one minute with some merry joke, and enchanting 'em the next with a pretty song for the maid in distress. "Very good, sir," says I. "Now yon must give me a written note, stating what you liavo shown, with your sanction to my making this venture 011 Mrs. Godwin's behalf, that I may justify my claim hereafter." "What ails you, Molly, my dear?" asks Jack. "Has a bit of crackling gone down the wrong way?" "At 2 o'clock two men are coming hither to see me. One is a master mariner named Robert Evans, the other a merchant adventurer of his acquaintance whom I have not yet seen. Now you are to mark these two men well, note all they say and their manner of speaking, for tomorrow you will have to personate these characters before one who would be only too glad to find you at fault. " "I am come, Mr. Steward," says Don Sanchez, "to conclnde the business we were upon last week." But this Simon strongly refused to do, saving his conscience would not allow him to sign any bond (clearly with the hope that he might in the end shuffle out of paying anything at all), until Don Sanchez, losing patience, declared he would certainly hunt all London through to find tliat Mr. Richard Godwin who was the next of kin, hinting that he would certainly give us such sanction as we required if only to prove his right to the succession should our venture fail. Mr. Crawford la going to take in the reunion on his old stamping purf If 14 will be possible for him to eo arrange it. She put it off as if she would have us take no notice of it, but it grew worse and worse toward the end of the meal and became a most horrid, tearing cough, whioh she did so natural as to deceive us all and put us in great oonoern, and especially Don Sancher, who declared she must have taken a cold by being exposed all day to the damp weather. "Aye," cries Dawson, for all the world in the manner of Evans, "but ore we get to this dry matter let's have a bottle to ease the way, for this riding of horseback has parched up my vitals confoundedly." MoCue la about 35 yean of age and la a married man, while Gerrity, who now languishes in the county jail, la about 25. It la stated that the row waa the ontoome of a long atandlng grudge between the two men. The arzangementa for the reunion an not yet oomplete. Eagle Hall haa bean engaged for the oocaalon. "If thou art athirat," says Simon, "Peter shall fetch thee a jug of water from the well, but other liquor have we none in this house." BRIDGE FOR WYOMING. "Very good, senor," says Dawson, "but which of these parts am I to play ?'' We learned afterward that Moll, who oonId never rest still two minutes together, bnt mnst ever be doing something new, had out ont her images and devised the show to entertain the servants in the kitchen, and that the guests above, hearing their merriment, had oome down in time to get the fag end, which pleased them so vastly that they would have her pluy it all over again.

The Wyoming Bridge Oo. haa nomad a charter for the erection of a bridge across the Susquehanna at the eaat end of Eighth street, Wyoming. Attempts hare previously been made for the organisation of a company to erect a bridge at ttxia place, but they hare always failed, owing to the parties interested not agreeing. ▲ bridge at this place has been a necessity for some time. The east aide of Wyoming has been building up rapidly for the part few years, as also hss the territory on the opposite side. If these people wish to cross other than by ferry they must go either to Pitts ton or Wilkes barre. This a long distance for the farmers especially, of whom there are a great many back of Wyoming. Where the bridge is to be built the water is shallow, not more than eight feet at the deepest point. The stock is held by F. J. Scouten, & 8. Herring and D. 0 McCollum, of Wllkasbarre, and W. R.

"Let Peter drown in your well," says Dawson, with an oath; "I'll have none of it. Let's get this matter done and away, for I'd as lief sit in a leaky hold as in this here place for comfort" This put the steward to a new taking, but the don holding firm ho at length agreed to give us this note upon Don Sanchez writing another to the effect that he had seen Mrs. Godwin and her daughter in Bartmry and was going forth to fetch them, that should Mr. Thouias Godwin come to claim tho estate he might be justly put off.

"I have," answers the don, "and thero I find the estate in the hands of a most curious, puritanical steward,whose honesty is rather in the letter than the spirit. For though I have reason to believo that not one penny's value of the estate has been misemployed since it has been in his hands, yet will he give nothing—no, not a maravedi—to the redemption of his mistress, saying that the letter is addressed to Thomas Godwin and not to him, eto., and that he hath no power to pay out moneys for this purpose, oven though he believed the facts I have laid before him, which for his own ends doubtless he fains to misdoubt." Ebib, Pa., Aug. 24.—Hundreds of new delegates arrived yesterday for the State Endeavor convention.

That Mr. Eshelman and his aoeompllah - ed bride may live to see many bappy years of wedded life Is the wish of their many friends. "Here," says Don Sanchez, "is a master mariner who is prepared to risk his life, and here a merchant adventurer of London who will hazard his money to redeem your mistress and her daughter from slavery." "This may undo us," says Don Sanchez, in a low voice of displeasure, drawing us away. "Here are a dozen visitors who will presently be examining Moll as a marvel. Who can say bnt that one of them may know her again hereafter to our confusion? We must be seen together no more than is necessary until we are ont of this country. I shall leave here in the morning, and you will meet me next at the Turk, in Gracious street, tomorrow afternoon." W. S. Ferguson, of Philadelphia, made a very encouraging report of the work among tbe junior organizations In the State and announced a very large Increase In number of sooietlee and members. Miss Frances II. Sohnyler, of Williamsport, State Superintendent of the miaslonary work, reported great Interest and sxtensive labor along the denominational line. And so this business ended to our great satisfaction, we saying to ourselves that we had done all that man could to redeem the captives, and that it would be no harm at all to put a cheat upon the miserly steward. Whether we were any way more honest than ho in shaping our conduct according to our inclinations is a question which troubled us then very little. OLIHOTMAN MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING. Thus primed, we went presently to the sitting room above, and the drawer shortly after coming to say that two gentlemen desired to see Don Sanchez, Jack and I seated ourselves side by side at a becoming distance from the don, holding our hats on onr knees as humbly as may be. "Praise the Lord, Peter," says the steward, whereupon the sturdy fellow with the cudgel fell upon his knees, as likewise did Simon, and both in a snuffling voice render thanks to heaven in words which I do not think it proper to write here. Then, being done, they get up, and the steward, having dried his eyes, says: Left Nlantlc, Conn., for Montroaa, Pa., and Failed to Reach HU Deat nation. Rev Mllner Morris, • baptist mlnkter of Nlantlo, Conn., is mysteriously missing. He left home on August 23 for MontroM to confer with the officials of that church in regard to a call to the pastorate. A telegram was reeelved In Montroaa from htm on Thursday, dated Scranton, which said he would be In that town on the train arriving at 2 p. m. He failed to arrive and though thorough search has been made all over for him, he has not yet been found. Through Conductor Smith, of the Lackawanna train that left Scranton at 0:06 p. m. Thursday, It has been learned that the mining cleigyman boarded Condnotor Smith's train and had a tioket for Montrose. Instead of changing oars at Alford, he paid extra fare to Blnghamton, telling the conductor he would not go to Montrose at preeent because of tbe large crowds en ronte to the veterans' rennlon. He told Conductor Smith also that he had a sister living at Chenango Porks, a few mllea above Blnghamton, and would go there to visit her a few days. Meantime Mr. Mor rls's wife is almost distracted at her home in Nlantlo, Conn. No traoe of the olergyman oan be gained after he got off the train at Blnghamton. "Oh, what have I done that yon should be so gentle to me?" exclaims Moll, smothering another cough. And with that she reaches out her leg under the table and fetches me a kick of the shin, looking all the while as pitiful and innocent as any painted picture. Rev. 8. F. Hartman, of Altoona, State superintendent of the good oltlienshlp department, reported an Increased lntereet among yonng men generally In the work of Christian organization. Rev. W. A. Stanton, D. D., of Pittsburg, preached the convention sermon. Rev J. Z. Tyler, of Cleveland, delivered an earnest address on the Christian Endeavor pledge. Professor W. W. White, of Moody Institute, Chicago, delivered an address on "The Bible in Soul Winning and SonI Culture." "As a trader, sir," says Mr. flopkins, "I cannot blame his conduct in that respect, for should the venture fall through tho jiext heir might call upon him to repay out of his own pocket all that ho had put into this enterprise. But this Mr. Thomas Godwin, what of him?" Therewith he goes up to his room, leaving us to shift for ourselves, and we into the parlor to warm our feet at the fire till we may be served with some victuals, both very silent and surly, being still sore, and as tired as any dog with our day's jolting. Then in comes a rude, dirty fellow, with a patch over one eye ;uul a most peculiar bearish gait, dressed in a rough ooat, with a wool shawl about his neck, followed by a shrewd gentleman in a plain cloth suit, but of very good substance, he looking just as trim and well mannered as t'other was uncouth and rude. "So far our prayers have been answered. Put me in mind, friend Peter, that tonight we pray these worthy men to prosper in their design." CHAPTER VI. On our way back to Greenwich we staid at an inn by the road to refresh ourselves, and there, having a snug parlor to ourselves and being seated about a fine cheese, with each a full measure of ale, Don Sanchez asks us if we are satisfied with our undertaking. "Would it be well to fetch in a doctor?" says Don Siwchez, when Moll was gone barking up stairs. "The child looks delicate, though she eats with a fairly good appetite." "If they succeed,"says Don Sanchez, "it will cost your mistress £27,000." The steward clntched at the table as if at tho fortune abont to turn from him. His jaw fell, and he stared at While we are in this mood, Moll, having finished her play, comes to us in amazing high spirits, and, all aglow with pleasure, shows us a handful of silver given her by the gentry ; then, pulling up a chair betwixt us, she asks us a dozen questions all of a string as to where wo have been, what we have done, etc., since we left her. Getting no answer, she presently stops, looks first at one, then at the other, and, bursting into a fit of laughter, cries, "Why, what ails yon both to be so grumpy?" "Ho is nowhere to be found. The only relatives I have been able to discover are these two gentlemen. " " 'Tis nothing, you know," replies Jack, who had doubtless received the same hint from Moll she had given me. "I warrant she will be mended in a "Well, here am I," says Evans, whom we knew at once for the master mariner, flinging his hat and shawl in a corner. "There's his excellency Don Sanchez, and here's Mr. Hopkins, the merchant I spoke on yesterday. And who be these?" turning about to fix us with his one blue eye. "Aye, that we are," replies Dawson, mightily pleased as usual to be a-feasting. "We desire nothing better than to serve your honor faithfully in all ways and are ready to put our hands to any bout you may choose to draw up." "Who," remarks Mr. Hopkins, with a shrewd glance at our soiled clothes, "are not, I venture to think, in a position to pay their cousin's ransom. " Committee conferences occupied the afternoon. Sunday desecration in Erie was a special subject. The placard on the street cars announcing dancing at Sunday reeorte caused the appointment of a committee to wait on Mayor Soott to secure his interference.IMPROVEMENTS AT MUSIC HALL The Season to be Opened About the Fifth of September "Alas, no, sir," says Jack. "We are but two poor-shopkeei)er8 of London undone by the great fire. " "Can you show me the man," asks the don, lifting his eyebrows contemptuously, "who ever kept a treaty he was minded to break? Men are honest enough when naught's to bo gained by breaking faith. Aro you both agreed to this courser" Extensive improvements are under way at Music Hall preparatory to the opening of the sesson about the 5th of next month. New Brussels carpets have been laid throughout the hall and the seats have all been newly upholstered. When the painters have finished their work, Musio Hall will preeent as oozy and neat an appearance as any place of amusement in this section. The prospects for a auoosssful season are good, now that the Dnryea electric line Das been opened, and the prospects good for the Avoea road to be opened soon. Manager MoDougall Is not quits oertalu what the opening attraction will be, but he is anxious to book the " Wloklow Postman, " one of the most suooessful plays ever pot on the boards. It Is his intention to give the theatre goers of this plaoe only plays of a high standard. "Two gentlemen relat**! to Mrs. Godwin and very anxious for her return," replies the don. "Well, now, sir," says Mr. Hopkins, fetching an inkpot, a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket, "I may conclude that you wish me to adventure upon the redemption of these two ladies in Burbary upon the hazard of being repaid by Mrs. Godwin when she recovers her estate.'' And the don making him a reverence he continues: "We must first learn the extent of our liabilities. What sum is to be paid to Bare ben Moula?" Rev. J. B. Small (colored), York, talked on "Pennsylvania for Christ " Rev. H. C. Farrar, D. D., Albany, N. Y., one of tbe trusteeeof the United Society, preached on the "World for Christ." Rev. J. A. Rondthaler, D. D., Indianapolis, Ind., talked on "Amerloa for Christ and Good Citizenship " "Then, we being met friends all, let's have up a bottle and heave off on this here business without more ado," says Evans, and with that he seats himself in the don's chair, pokes up the fire with his boots and spits on the hearth. "In tho first place, Moll," says Jack, "I'll have you to know that I am your father, and will not be spoken to save with becoming respect." "Yes, senor," says I, "and my only compunction now is that I can do so little to forward this business." "Why, I did but ask yon where yon have been." "Why, so far as I can see into it," nays DawsCin, "one of us mnst bo cast for old Mrs. Godwin if Moll is to bo her daughter, and you're fitter to play tho part than I, for I take it this old gentlewoman should be of a moro delicate, sickly composition than mine." "Children of your age should not ask questions, but do as they're bid, and there's an end of it." The don graciously places a chair for Mr. Hopkins, rings the bell and seats himself. Then after a few civilities, while the bottle was being opened and our glasses filled, he says: The Doctor, speaking for good citizen ship, said that it oould be secured by the oo-operation of the Church against saloon oorrupt politics and desecration of the Sabbath. All this can be accomplished by nnlted action. ' "La, I'm not to ask any questions. Is there anything else I am not to do?" THE SAME OLD STORY. "Five thousand gold ducats—about £2,000 English." "If they xucreed, it trfU cost your mUtrcst £27,000." Don Sanchez in bewilderment. Then getting the face to speak he gasps out, "Twenty-seven thousand pounds," and Rtill in a maze asks, "Art thou in thy right senses, friend?" "Yes. I'll not have you playing of Galimanfray to cook wenches and such stuff. I'll have you behave with more decency. Take your feet off the hearth and put 'em under your chair. Let me have no more of these galanty shows. Why, 'twill be said I cannot give you a basin of porridge, that you must go a-begging of sixpences like this I" Revolver He Thought Waa Empty. Dalian Roy Dangerously Wounded by a "You have doubtlais heard from Robert Evans the purpose of our coming hither, Mr. Hopkins?" "Two thousand," says Mr. Hopkins, Writing.

The don receives our salutations with a "We will suppose that Mrs. Godwin is dead,'' says the don gravely. Erik, Pa., Aug. 24.—The matters of special interest considered this morning at the Pennsylvania Christian Endeavor Union convention, in aeealon here, was the place of meeting next year and the election of offioera.

And with that he rasps his throat to tell that he would be none the worse for Bleeping a night between sheets. "Roughly," replies Mr. Hopkins, with a dry little cough. "But I should be glad to have the particulars from you that I may judge more clearly of my roiponsibilities in this undertaking." M;inter Hopkins, I havo said £1,- says ho, "and I won't go from my word, though all laugh at mo for a The don hunches his shoulders and turns to me, whereupon I Ret forth in pretty much the samo words as Mr. Hopkins used the risk of the venture, etc.. to all which this Simon listened with starting eyes and gaping mouth. 500 madman "The parts you havo played today.

"Oh, if you begrudge me a little pocket money," cries she, springing up, with the tears in her eyes, "I'll have none of it." On Saturday evening there was a marry time at the home of 'Squire Morse, in flughestiwn, the occasion being the fiftieth anniversary of Mrs. Morse's birth. A bolt thirty of her friends dropped In unawares, which made the occasion more Interesting. The evening was spent very pleasantly. Some choice vocal and Instrumental selections on violin, guitar and organ were rendered by J. T. Clark, Misses Helen and Mame Clark, Lizzie Roth, and Mra. Chas. MoCracken. The special feature of tbs evening was a trombone solo, by the 'Squire, entitled, "I Can't Blow It Oat, Ton Try." Choice refreehments were served, after which dancing waa Indulged In. At a seasonable honr the guetts departed, wishing the host see many returns of the day. Mrs Morse was presented with a fins extension table. Thoee preeent were: Mr. and Mrs. David Brown, Peekvllle; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. dark, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. Lampman, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Booth, Mr. and Mrs. Charlee MoCracken, Mr. and Mra.

"O Lord!" exclaims Evans in disgust. "Here, give us a pipe of tobacco if we're to warp out half a day ero we get a capful of wind." "This hangs together and ought to play well. Eh, Kit?" This was carrying the matter too far, and I thonght it had certainly undone us, for stopping short, with a start, in crossing the room, he tarns and looks first at Dawson, then at me, With anything bnt a pleasant look in his eyes at finding his dignity hurt, to be thus bustled by a mere child. Then his dark eyebrows unbending, with the reflection maybe that it was so much the better to his purpose that Moll oonld so act as to deceive him, he seats himself gravely, and replies to Jack: "Well, if you think £1,COO too much for my carcass and a ship of 20 men yon can gi1 seek a cheaper market else- "Twenty-seven thousand pounds!" he says again. "Why, friend, 'tis half of all I ha-ve made of the estate by a life of thrift and care and earnest seek- I asked Don Sanchez how long, in the ordinary course of tilings, an expedition of this kind would take.

"We may very well stretch it out the best part of "What," cries Jack, after glancing round to see we were alone. "You have filched a couple of spoons, Moll?" Wilson Roberts, the eldest member of the family of Henry and Nanoy Roberts, of Falls, died at hts home on Friday, aged 77 years.

"A year," says Jack, scratching his ear ruefully, fur I believe he had counted ujDon coming to live like a lord in a few weeks. "And what on earth are we to do in the meanwhile?"

" "Nay," says Jack, "if you think £1,- 500 too much for my carcass and a ship of 20 men, you may seek a cheaper market and welcome, for I've no stomach to risk my life and property for less." "Educate Moll, " answers the don. 'Hirridire?" [TO BU CONTINUED ] "She can read anything, print or script," says Jack proudly, "and write her own name." "Well," says Jack, with a laugh, "what wit we have among are resolved to employ in your honor's service, so that yon show as this steward fellow is a rascal that deserves to be bounced, and we do no great injury to any one else." "On the second night of her voyage the Seahawk became parted from her convoy, and the next day she was pursued and overtaken by a pair of Barbary pirates, to whom she gave battle." How's Tills ? "I would go as far anywhere outside the straits for £200 with a lighter "Judith Godwin," says the don reflectively, "lived two years in Italy. She would Certainly remember some words of Italian.

"We will proceed to that without delay. And now, as we have no matter to discuss, and must be afoot early tomorrow, I will ring for a light to take you to bed." And here Dawson and I were secretly struck by his honesty in not seeking to affright the steward from an honest course, but rather tempting him to it by playing upon his parsimony and avarice.Loti of'em Up This W»y, Too.
