In anticipation ot the sentencing of John Robinson, who a few days ago confessed his part In the Barney Reick murder and pleaded guilty of murder in the second de gree, the oonrt room was jammed with people Saturday morning, and they were not wrong whtn tiey exoected surprising developments. Robinson wan oa iand when oalled for eentenoe. When Judge Woodward asked if the prisoner had anything to say before set t-nce wax pronounced. He said his attorneys would speak for him. Col. Martin tock the floor, and »ald that R blnson had made a stitement to the eft ot that Fisher was inno oent of „he charge preferred against him, that the part ascribed to him—that of luring the murdered man from his home—was performed by Robinson Attorney Shea spoke after the same fashion At this point Attorney John T. Lenahan jumped up and created a eensation by declaring that it was all a trick to save Fisher, and that he was equally guil'y with the ethers. Judgn Woodward raid that he took into consideration the fact that Robinson had pleaded guilty and saved the county further expense an J trouble He then sentenced him to eighteen years of separate and solitary con finement in the Eastern Penitentiary, which is two years leas tian that given his paitaer Hendricks As Robinson was being led away handcc fifed to the prison van, his mcther rushed forward, clung to her son, shrieked wildly and finally fainted. The scone caused Intense excitement A week ago Snad*y morning, the mangled remains of a Polander, I«nsz Stmonosvicz by name, were found on th-i Lehigh Valley tra;ks in the rear of the St. James Hotel, Upper Pi t*ton. There were rumors at the lime th»t tie man was a victim of foul play. The suspicion wan aroused by the statement by persons living near the scene that shots were fired during the night, and by certain remarks attributed to foreigners, who had indulged in a row on Saturday night. County deteative Eokert looked up the case, and secured from Beveral Polish In formants whose names Le does not care t D make public information which l.d him to swear out warrants for the arreet of the following men: Mathias Marchowlcz, of Upper Plttston, In whose house the crime is alleged to have b«en committed ; John Palkonis, of Center street; William Awaik ytz% of Center street, and Anthony Kasbuba, of West Pittston. Two of tbeet-, Kashnba a d Awaikytz?, were arrested and sei t to j ill several days ago, and on Saturday night the others were jailed. tlon of the Superintendent' of the City School*. Fcbanton, S"pt. 28 - The Republican County Cornmiitse has heen selected. It Is a close corporation affair and none but the elect are in it. Every member beloDge to the Connell faction with perhaps theexoeptioi. of ex-Llent. Gov. Watr, s, who was made treasurer of the '• corporation," and wl oje real position Is only known to himself and Omniscience. If there are any plums in the pudding Mr. Watres eets them,and he doesn't go " in a corner," eit er, like the traditional Jack Horner, in order to secure a goodly eha e of the plums for himself Indeed he is by no means a greedy bDy, but somehow all the other bojs haeteu to him the plums, even If they have to go without themselves He got a nice plum on the State committee from the Qisy people, and now he gets another from the other side. As to the remaining nembers of the county commit e s there is no mletaklr.g their location, and that Is against the Honorable Joseph most decidedly. Almost every one who has been seletted is, If not openly hostile to the Congressman! at least not an ardeit friead. There is Dr. Houser, of Taylor, for instance; everybody knows abont his grievance. Being a Congressman isn't such a snap as some people imagine after all. If you please one man with a pt stcffice there are from ten all the way up to fifty who are very mad becau%e tley didn't get it. and even the friends of the winner are apt to wax cool toward the benefactor, as they begin to oonslder that maybe they should have received it instead. None of the men on the couEty committee got a poetoffije or other little windfalls. Major Aokerly, of Abington, also has a grievance. Charlie Nenls is and always was a Con nail man. John is agin " Joe also. Tom 8hot'en used to be different, but somehow he has been coralied likewise, and tie others are the same. Altogether, the proepeCt. for another pclitical scrap are brightening, notwithstanding the quiet that has prevailed for a few weeks past. CHAPTER XV. surance to t liy ntmi Dst requirement. Say, good friend, tin* wilt be at my lodge house on that day. " The next day comes Simon with a bag of £600, which he tells over with infiiiite care, groaning and mopping his eyes betwixt each four or five pieces with almost rueful visage, so that it seemed he was weeping over this great expenditure, and then ho goes to prepare the court and get servants against Moll's arrival Then, by the end of tho week, being furnished with suitable clothing and equipment, Moll and Don Sanchez leave us, though Dawson was now as hale aud hearty as ever he had been, we being persuaded to rest at Chatham yet another week to give countenance to Jack's late distemper and also that we might appear less liko a gang of thieves. "Is it your wish both that I take this?" says hp, laying his hand on the money and looking from mo to Dawson. "I'll promise nothing,"says I. "Our poor Captain Evans is still a prisoner in his room." "Aye," says he, " 'tis but a tithe of what is left to us and not a hundredth part of what we owe to yon.'' "Aye," says Dawson, coining in from tho next room in his nightgown, seejn- feeble and weak despite bis 1D. jsteriiifi voice, "and I'm like to be no better till I can a ship of my owl) and Ik* to sea again. Have you brought my money, Mr. Quaker?" To my strumming Kings Ci Moorish song. and sometimes, affecting to have forgot her own tougae, she would stumble at a word, and turning to Don Sanchez ask him the English of some Moorish phrase. Then one day, thoro being quite a dozen visitors in her stateroom, she brings down her Moorish dress and those baubles given her by friends atElche, to show the ladies, much to tho general astonishment and wonder; then, being prayed to dress herself in these clothes, she, with some hesitation of modesty, consents, and after a short absence from tho room returns in this costume, looking lovelier than ever I had before seen, with the rings ubmt her shapely lDaro arms and i n her ankles, and tlms arrayed she brings me a guitar, and to my strumming sitjgn a Moorish song, swaying her amis above her head aud turning gracefully in their fashion, so that all were in an eestasy with thDs strange performance. And the talk spveadiug, tho number of visitors grew apace—as "Very good," says the don. "I will carry it bo London tonicrrow." cry "But," says he, "all will go well if thee wilt have but a little patience for awhile Tomorrow my runts Dr:il come in, and I will exact to the last farthing, and there is a parcel of land I may sell mayhap for instant payment? though 'twill bo ut a fearsome loss" (mopping his eyes), "yet X will do it rather than put thee to greater iucominodity, and so, ero tho end of tho week, thee mayst safely count on having yet another £3,000, which together makes nigh upon half the sum promised. And this, dear good friend," adds he shyly, "thee juayst well take on account at thine own share, and none dispute thy right, for 'tis thy money hath done ftll And from what I sc« of him, smoking of pipes in the public way and drinking with any low follows in alehouses, this Captain Evans is but a paltry, mean man, who may be easily put off with q pound or two to squander in ins pleasures, and, as for the Spanish graudee, he do seem so content to Is- with oqr mistress that I doubt lie needs no pretext for quitting her, added to which, being of a haughty, proud nature, he should doom to claim jus own, to the prejudice of a merchant who hath naught hut his capital to live upon. And I do implore thee, good friend, to lay this matter before my mistress in such a way that ghe may iiot be wroth with me." "But surely, senor," says I, "you will not quit us ho soon " DC hi Sanchez rolls his cigarro in his lips, looking me straight in tho face and somewhat sternly, and asks me quietly if I have ever found him lacking in loyalty and friendship. "Thee shalt have it truly; wait but a little while, good friend, a little while." "Pray, which way do you ipcline, senor?" says I. "Wait a little while and founder altogether, eh? I know you land sharks, and would I'd been boru with a snack of your cunning, then had I never gone of this venture and lost my ship and twoscore men that money'11 ne'er replace. Look at me, a sheer hulk and wo more, and all through lending ear to one prayer and another. I doubt you're minded to turn your back on poor old Bob Evans, a.s t'otlu rs have, Mr. Hopkins—and why not 'r The poor old man's worth nothing, and canuot help himself. " With this ho foil a-sniveling like "Being a Spaniard," answers ho gravely, "I should prefer to live like a prince in Spain." "In truth, never, senor. " "Then why should you imagine I mean to quit you now when you have more need of a friend iu this house" (with a sideward glanoe as toward Moll's chamber) "than evor you before liad'r" Then, turning toward Jack, he says, '' What are you going to do, Captain Evans?" Before going Don Sanchez warned us that very likely Simon would pay us a visit suddenly to satisfy any doubts that might yet crop up in his suspicions mind, and so, to be prepared for him, I got in a good store of paper and books such as a merchant might require in peeking to re-»istablish himself in business, and Dawson he Id himself in readiness to do his share of this knavish business. Sure enough, about three days after this, the drawer, who had been instructed to admit no one to my chamber without my consent, comes up to say that the little old man in leathor, with the weak eyes, would see mo, so I bade him Jn a high voice bid Mr. Simon step up, And setting myself before my table of paper engage in writing a letter (already half writ), while Dawson slips out into the nest room. "Take a seat, Mr. Steward," says I when Simon entered, cap in hand, and casting a very prying, curious look around. "I must keep you a minute or two " And so I feign to be mighty busy, and give him scope for observation. "That would not I," says Dawson stoutly. "A year and a half of Elche have cured jne of all fondness for foreign parts, pesides, 'tis a beggarly, scurry tiling to fly one's country, as if we had done some unhandsome, dishonest trick. If I faced an Englishman, I should never dure look him straight in tho eyes again. What say you, Mr. Hopkins?"Dawson pauses, as if to snatch one last moment for consideration, and then, nodding at me, "You'll not leave my Moll, Kit?" says he, with* no attempt to disguise names- ACCIDENT AT DURVEA. "Why, Evans," says I, "you know my will without telling. I will not of my own accord go from your choico, which way you will" George Dunn, a Car Runner, Suffered a Crushed Arm. any girL "Why should I leave her? Are we not us brothers, you aud I?" Saturday afternoon, George W. Dunn, aged 27, of Little York, near Avoca, who 1s employed as a car runner at the chutes of the Halletead colliery, at Duryea, met with a serious accident. He was uncoup - lng big cars as they were being pushed by an engine. Hi* foot slipped and he fell. One arm got under the wheeie and it was crushed so badly that it may have to be tmputated His foot was also injured. The li j ired man was taken to the Moses Taylor Hospital, Scran tor, where he died that evening He was mar rled, and had a wife and two ohlldren.

"Bring him with thee o' Saturday," urged Simon. "Surely my mistress can never have the heart to refuse you shelter at the court, who owes her lif« to ye. Come and stay there till thy wage be paid, friend Evans." "ffo," says Jack very decidedly, and then, lowering Jiis yoice, he adds, "for was she Judith Godwin ten times told, and as old as my grandmother into the bargain, she is still my daughter and shall do as I choose her to do.

James McLaugh'in, oonvicted of having shot Patrick Tigue on Scott street, Wilkes barre, was sentenced on Saturday to pay $100 fine, costs and undergo imprisonment in the penitentiary for four years. •Wliati would ye make an nonest sailor play bum bailiff and stick in a house, willy nilly, till money's found?

I told him I would do all he could expect of me iu re.isCDn, but bade him understand that his clmuoe of forgiveuess for having broke his first engagement delauded greatly upon his exactitude in keeping the second, and that ho might count on little mercy from us if the other two £".',000 were not forthcoming the next day. Sol took the xnoueyand gave him a quittance for it, signing it with my false name, James Hopkins; but, reflecting on this when J left him, I wished I had not. For I clearly perceived that by this forgery I laid myself open to very grieviuus consequences. Moreover, taking of this solid money, disguise it how I would, apjieared to mo nothing short of downright robbery, be it whose it might. "Well, sir," says I, finishing my letter with a flourish, and setting it aside, "how do you fare?" vtASr NIGHT'S FIRE. "As you please," says the don. "Give me £10,000 of the sum you are to be paid at Michaelmas, and you aro welcome to all the rest." Of all her new friends, the most eager in courting her were Sir Harry Upton and his lady (living in the Crays), and they, being about to go to London for the winter, did press Moll very hard to go with them that she might be pn-si ntp4 to the Jcing, and, truth to tell, they would not have had to ask her twice had she been governed only by her own inclination. She was mad to go—that audacious spirit of adventure still working very strong in her—and she, like a w inning gamester, must forever be playing for higher and higher stakes. But we, who had heard enough of his excellent but lawless majesty's court to fear the fate of (my Impulsive, beauteous young woman that came within his sway, were quite against this. Even Don Bancbes, who was no innocent, did persuade her from it with good, strong arguments, showing that, despite his worldlincss, he did re illy lovo her as much as 'twas in his withered heart to love any one. As for Dawson, ho declared he would sooner seo his Moll in her winding sheet than in the king's company, adding that 'twould be time, enough for her to think of going to court when sho had a husband to keep her out of mischief. And so she refused this Offer (but with secret tears, I believe). "But," says she to her father, "if I'm not to have my own way till I'm married, I shall get me a husb;uid as soon as I can " A Boiler House Belonging to the D. L. A W. Co. Destroyed.

I left the room as if to satisfy this desire, and Simon followed, implmnng mo still to come on Saturday to Chfsenmrst, and I at length got rid of him/by promising to come as sewn as Evan» could beD left or induced to accompany me. Ij persuaded Dawson, very much against/ his greed, to delay our going until MonI day, the better to hoodwink old Simon! and on that day we set out for Chiseljhurst, both clad according condition—he in rough frieze, and Ism a vary proper, seemly sorf; of cloth—imdjmh more guineas in our pockets than over be/ore we had possessed shillings. And a very merry journey this was, for Dawson, finding himself once more at liberty and hearty as a lark after his long confinement and under no constraint, was like a boy let loose from school, caroling at the top of his voice, playing mad pranks with *11 who passed us on the road and staying at every inn to drink twopenny alo, so that I feared he would certainly fall ill drinking, as he had before of eating, but the exercise of riding, the fresh, wholesome air and half an hour's doze in a spinney did Settle his liquor, and so ho reached Hurst Court quite so]Der, thanks bo to heaven, though very gay. And there wo had need of all our self command to conceal onr joy in finding those gates open to us, which wo had looked through so fondly when we wore last here, and to spy Moll in a stately gown on the fine terrace before this noble house, carrying herself as if sho had lived here all her life, and Don Sanchez walking very deferential by her side. Especially Dawson could scarce bring himself to speak to her in an uncouth, surly manner, as befitted his character, and no sooner were wo entered the house but ho whips Moll behind a door and falls a-hugging and kissing her like any sly young lover. Duryea was visited by another sfiious fire fept 25, The boi'er house at the air shaft of Ballstead mine of the D. L. & W Co., located on thtD west side of the Lackawanna river, a short distance below the Babylon breaker, was totally d«etroyed. The fire atarted at aoont :30 o'clock in a manner as yet unknown, and In about an honr the structure was In ruins. By hard work on the part of company employee, the engine honse and tower were saved There were four boilers In the burned building, but it la thought that they are not seriously dam aged. The boilers furnished ateam for pump- in the mine The pumpe are not thrown idle, however, being now furnished wlih steam from the main shaft. The Republican candidate for Jnige, Hon Lyman H Bennett, is eminently fitted for the judicial bench. Those who have heretofore alleged that because he has not m-.de criminal laws his practice h would not be qualified for trying criminal cases, have had t) admit, since his elevation t D the bench by appointment of the Governor that they were mistaken. The ease an 1 ability with which he disposes of points of law, and the readiness wi h whloh he charges a jary in a criminal can. would cause a stranger to believe that hthad been on the oenoh for years. If he is elected there is no doubt that he will continue to be an honor to the benoh, and the voters will not be experimenting. ''Nothing is amiss at the court, I pray—your lady, Mistress Godwin, is well?" "You mean that, senor?" crios Jack, seizing the don 's faand and raising his loft.

"I know not, friend," says ho. "Sho hath taken my keys, denied me entrance to her house, and left me no privilege of niy office save the use of the lodge house. Thus am I treated like a faithless servant, after toiling night and day all these years, and for her advantage rather than my own." This has been good weather for typhoid fever, and there are a number of cases in the city. We have such excellent water here that the precaution of boiling it for drinkt.-jg purposes has not been generally oraotio d, but witiin the last few days a general erase for boiling water has attacked everybody. The little children twast in school that "we have boiled water at our house" with as mncL complaisance as they might proclaim the advent of a new baby boy or the discovery of a nest of young kitrer.s. The hired girls have begun to strike on account of the fact. One of them protested in this wise the other day : "And pbwat for should I bile the wather, when its clane and nice? Sure latt spring was the time to bile it entirely, when it looked like black joffee and was full of bastes. I can't stand it at all any 'core—the Mlssu? sovln', with a oross-eyed look into the pitcher, • Mary, is this wather biled V and Mister A. remarking 'Does Mary bile the wather or , doee she draw it out of the h Dt v*at-«r faucet and put Ice in it!'

"Nay, I always believed you were the most generous man living. Ten from t'other. William Jackson," savs he, turning to me, "what does that leave us?'' The don bowed his head. "Then when you leave tomorrow I'll go with yxju to London," says Jack. "I shall return the next day," says Don Sanchez, "And I shall not, God help me!" says Jack bitterlv. "That has to be proved, Mr. Steward," says I severely, "for you must admit that up to thj# present she has had no reason to love yo«, seeing that, had her fate been left in your bands, she would now be in Barbary, and , iike to end her days thoro. How, then, can she think but that you had some selfish, wicked end in denying her tno service we, who are strangers, have rendered ber?" In short, buing now plunged tip to tuy neck in tiiis business, I felt like a foolish lad who hath waded beyond his depth iu a rapid current, hoping I might somehow get out of it safely, but with very little expectation. Howovor, the sight of all this gold told up in score* upon the table in our closed room served to quiet these qualms considerably. Nevertheless 1 was not displeased to re memlx-r our bargain with Dm Sanchea, feeling that I should breathe more freely when he had taken this store of gold out of my hands, etc. Thus did my mind waver this way and that, like a weathercock to the blowing of contrary winds. ' "Moro than £100,000!" "Tho Lord bo praised forevormoro!' sries Jack. "Give mo your hand," says the don, but I could sjDeak never a word and sat staring at Jack in a majsa Upon this Moll, by advice of Don Sanchez, sends for Simon, and telling him sho is satisfied with the account I have given of his stewardship offers him the further control of her affairs, subject at all times to her decision on any question concerning her convenience and reserv ing to herself th« solo government of her household, tho ordering of hor homu, lands, etc. And, Simon grasping eagerly at this proposal, she th«n gives him the promise of £1,000 for his past services and doubles the wages duo to him under his contract with Sir W. Godwin. "We'll say uanght of this to her," continues Jack. "There must lie no farewells. I could never endure that. But it shall seem that I have gone with yon for company and have fallen in with old comrades, who would keep mo for a «D.arousing." BAI) WRKCK ON THE VALLEY.

The don answers {or Jack. A very costly wreck—and jet very fortunate in that there was no loss of life— occurred on the Lehigh Valley Railroad last Friday at a point near Stony l/reek, a small s-tit Ion below White Haven. A loaded freight train was boned from Packerton to Coxtoa. The engineer saw a large tree falling on the track about 200 feet ahesd of him. He reversed toe lever, Bhonted to (he fireman, and then bC th jumped Fortunately they eecaptd serious Id jury. The ether trainmen saw the danger and also saved themselves by jamplng. The tra*n dashed on and crashed Into the obstruction with such foice that the engine and ten cars heavily loaded with merchandise were thrown over the embankment Into the Lehigh River. "We will say no more on that head, but you may rest assured in my promise, knowing as I do the noble, generous nature of your mistress—that if she has done you wrong in suspecting yon of base purpose, she will be the first to admit ber fault and offer you reparation. " 'Twas this day that Moll, as J have "Make the best of this lot with a stout heart, like any other bravo man," says ho.

Then, kDwer ing his voice, hft adCK ''Unless you would have her die an old maid she and her father must part sooner or later?" ..aid, dressed Jiorself in her Moorish clothes for the entertainment of her now friends, and Dawson, hearing her voice, yet noi D•luring to go into the statoroom! where she was, must needs linger on the stj .irs listening to her song and craning his neck to catch a glimpse of her ♦'Give mo what it may please thee to bestow that way," pried ho. "All shall bo laid out to enrich this property, j have no other use for piouev, no other worldly end in life but that. ' And It seemed that she would not have to look far or wait long for one either. Before a month was passed at least half a down young sparks wore courting her, they being attracted not only by her wit and beauty, but by the report of her wealth, it being known to all how Simon had enriched the estate. And 'twas this abundance of suitors which prevented Moll from choosing any ono in particular, else had there been but ono 1 believo the business would been settled very quickly.

" through the open door below. Hero he stands in a sort of ravishment, sucking in her sweet voice and the sounds of delight with which her guests paid tribute to her performance, 'coding his passion, which, like some tire, grew moro fierce by feeding, till he was well nigh beside himself. Presently outcomes Moll from lier stateroom, all glowing with exercise, flushed with pleasure, a rich color in her cheek and wild fire in her eyes, looking more witching than any siren. Swiftly she crosses the hall and runs up the stairs to gain her chamber and reclothe herself, but half way up Dawson stops her, and clasping her about cries hoarsely in a transport: The resignation of Professor Phlllijs from the superintenlency of schools has caused great surprise in thi« city. His nork has been most remarkably excellert during the eight years of his service in this capacity. He is a gentleman In every sense of the word, cultured, courteous, refined In appearance and manner, and conscientious to a degree. Unlike most superintendents, he has hal no tie's among the teachers, bu; he has been the earnest, true friend ot each and all. Tne maj irlty of hem feel that the loss is well nigh irreparable. Few young men could have so 1 e d the lespect and hearty affection of sush a heterogeneous ma-s as has Piofessor PhlLips He has fought for f e welfare .of the schools and teachers against heavy opposition, year after year. His sincerity and enthusiasm have htracted even those who were most opposed to his election, and he will leave the office with the unaffected admiration and respect of the entire community. He has been misunderstood and hampered by Inferior minds and j ldgment, and his position has tuns been hard and unsatisfactory. A new Superintendent will fiad it d ffieu t to go on with the work whe'e he leavre t, and with due respect to both Mr. Lange and Mr. Howell, candidates to succeed Prof. Phillips, ir wl 1 probably be a long time befote either will he to manage matters with anjtitng like the smoothness that h«B chtracteiiz.-d the work of Mr. Phillips. Tub Listknkk. m » M. "That may bo ordered enough," says the don. readily Surely, thinks I, there was never a more strange, original creature than tliis, yet it do seem to mo that there is no man but his passion must appear a madness to others. "Then do you tell her, senor, I have tint gone a junketing, and she may look to see me agaii\ when my frolio's over." Whilo he was giving way to these extravagances, which Moll had not the heart to rebuff—for in her full, warm heart she was as overjoyed to see him there as he her—Don Sanchez and I paced up and down the spacious hall, I all of a-twitter lest one or other of the servants might discover the familiarity of these two (which must have been a fine* matter for curious gossip in the household and elsewhere), and the don mighty somber and grave (as foreseeing an evil outcome of this business), so that ho would make no answer to my civilities save by dumb gestures, showing ho was highly displeased. But truly 'twas enough to set us all crazy, but he, with joy, to 1)0 in possession of all these riches and think that we had landed at Chatham scarce a fortnight before without decent clothes to our backs, and now, but for the suocess of our dosign, might 1kD the penniless strolling vagabonds we were when 4Jon Sanchez lighted on us. Tho don closed his eyes as one in dubitation, and then says, lifting his eyobrows: "She is » clever woman—shrewd beyond any I have ever known. Then why treat her as you would a foolish child? You must let me tell her the truth when I come back, and 1 warrant it will not break her bCWt, much as she loves yon." Toe train, in falling, destroyed the telegraph line, and news of the wreck was therefore very meagre The engine which pulled the wrecked »-alu was 44 i. The tracks were blooked, and express train fjc, 1, due here at 1:48, was delayed for several Bis Question. I must sjHiak now of Moll, her admirablo carriage and sober conduct in these new circumstances, which would have turned tho heads of most others. Nover onco to my knowledge did she lose her self possession pn tho most trying occasion, and this was duo, not alone to her own shrewd wit and understanding, but to the subtle intelligence of Don Sapohez, who in the character of an old and trusty friend was ever by her side, watchful of her interest (and his own), ready at any moment to drop in her ear a quiet word of warning or counsel. JJy bis advice she had taken into her service a most commendable, proper old gentlewoman, one Mrs. Margery Butterby, who, as being tho widow of a country parson, was very orderly in all things and particularly nice in the proprieties. This potable good soul was ot a cheery, chatty disposition, of very pleasing manners and a genteel appearance, and so, though holding but the part of housekeeper, she served as an agreeable companion and a respectable guardian, whose mere presence in the house relieved any question that might have arisen from tho fact of three men living under the same roof with tho young and beautiful mistress of Hurst Court, she served us as a very useful kind of mouthpiece, for all those marvelous stories of her life in Barbary, of the pirates we had encounterod in redeeming her from tho Turk, eto., with Which Moll wouid beguile away any half hour, for tho mere amusement of creating Mrs. Butterby's wonder and surprise, as one will tell stories of fairies to children, this good woman repeated with piapy additions of her own oonoeruiijg ourselves, which, to reflect oredit on herself, wore all to our advantage. Tliis was the more fitting, becanso the news spreading that tho lost heiress Jiad returned to Hurst Court excited puriosity far and wide, and it was pot long beforo f:vuiilies in the surrounding seats, who had known Sir W. Godwin in bygone times, palled to see his laughter. And here .Moll's tact was taxed to the utmost, for some who had known Judith Godwin as on infant expected that she should remember some incident stored in their recollection. But she was ufer equal to the occasion, feigning a pretty doubting innocence at first, then suddenly asking this lady if she liai not worn a cherry dress with a beautifu} stomacher, or that gentleman if he had not given her a goldpioco for a token, and it generally happened theso shrewd shafts hit their mark, tho lady, though she might have forgotten her gown, remembering sho had a very becoming stomacher at that time, tho gentleman believing that ho did give her a luck penny, und so forth, from rery vanity. Then Moll's lofty carriage and her beauty would remind thein of their dear lost friend, Mrs. Godwin, in the heyday of her youth, and all agreed in admir - ing her beyond anything, and though Moll, from her lack of knowledge, made many plijw and would now and then say things flncuston ary to women of breeding, yet theso were easily attributed to "Do you think, then, thai thedefendant wits in the right?" asked a young lawyer of an elderly and cautious witness.But here (that I may keep all my strings in harmony) I must quit Moll for a space to tell of her father. That first hint of the don's bringing him to his senses somewhat, like a dash of cold water, and the exnlwrance of his joy subsiding, he quickly became moro circumspect in his behavior and fell into the part ho had to play, and tho hard, trying, sorrowful part that was neither ho nor I had foreseen, for now was he compelled for the first time in his lifo, at any length, to live apart from his daughter, to refrain from embracing her when they met in the morning, to speak to her in a rough, churlish sort when his heart maybe overflowing with love and to reconcile himself to a cool, indifferent behavior on her side when his very soul was yearning for gentle, tender warmth, and these natural cravings of affection were rather strengthened than stilled/ by repression, as one's "Well, were it not that"— "Come, cnnie," interrupted the lawyer. "We have had enough of 'wells' and'bnts.' 1 asked you a plain question. I want a plain answer. Was he right? Yes or no." The crew of the wreol|e4 train are from Ifauch Chunk, hours. "As you will, "says t'other. " 'Twill be all as one to me," with a sigh. "Thou art my own Moll—my own sweet Moll!" adding, as she would break from him to go her way, "Nay, chick, you shall not go till you have bussed your old dad. " "This falls out well in all ways,"' continues tho don, turning tome. "Yon will tell Simon, \vhoso suspicion we have most to fear, that wo have handed over 4,000 of thoso pieces to Captain Evans as being most in need, we ourselves choosing tu *t«y here till the rest of our claim is paid. That will acoount Evans going away and give us a pretext for string here." FATAL BOLT OF LIGHTNING. "I really cannot reply 'yes' or 'no' to such a question. Either answer would be misleading. You see, I"— Four Horses Killed On the Towanda Fair Ground. "Do you mean to say, sir," stormed the lawyer, working himself into a state of indignation, "that you could frame a question to which I could not reply 'yes' or 'no?' " Then she, hesitating a moment hatwixt prudence and her warmer feelings, suddenly yields to the impulse of her heart, her head also being turned maybe v. ith success and delight, and flinging her arms about his neck gives him a hearty kiss, and then bursts away with a light laugh. 26 there was a furious storm at Towan a, where tae Bradford county fair was In progress. The Review says : " At about half ptst one the storm bt.rst with terrible fury and for half an hour raged with the forcsof a mini-tare cyclone acoompt»nled with severe thunder and lightning. As a parting shot of the elements the Immense throrg were momentarily dazed by a terrlfis crash of thunder and a blinding fUeh ot lightning. Four horses were killed outright by the bolt and n number stunned for a time.

"Certainly I could," said the old gentleman quietly. "I'll visit him myself, if you will," says Jack, "and wring his beard to show my gratitude. I warrant I'll make him wince, such a grip will I give him, and I'll talk of nothing else but seas and winds and the manner of ship I'll have for bis money." "Then let us hear it," said the man of law, turning with a smile of incredulity to the judge and jury. "By all means let us hear it." "I begin to understand you, Mr. Stew ard," says I. Jack watches her out of sight, and then, when the moment of escape is past, ho looks below to see if there be any danger, and there lie spies Don Sanchez, regarding him from the open door, where he stands fS if t*D guard it. Without, a sign the don turns on his heel and goes back into tho room, while Dawson, with a miserable hangdog look, comes to me in my chamber, where I am counting the gold, and confesses his fully with a shamed face, enrsing himself freely for his indiscretion, which at this rate must ruin nil ere long. Presently Moll came out from tho side room with her father, her hair all tumbled, and as rosy as a peach, and she would have us visit tho house from top to bottom, showing us tho rooms sot apart for us, her own chamber, tho state room, the dining hall, tho store closets for plate and linen, etc., all prodigious fine and in most excellent condition, for the scrupulous minute care of old Simon had suffered nothing to fall out of repair, tho rooms being kept woll aired, the pictures, tapestries und magnificent furniture all preserved fresh with linen covers and the like. From the hall she took us out on to the terrace to survey the park and the gardens about the bouse, and here, as within doors, all was in most admirable keeping, with no wild growth orrunaweeds anywhere, nor any sign of neglect. But I observed, as an indication of tho steward's thrifty, uupoetic mind, that the garden beds were planted with onions and such marketable produce, in place of flowers, and that instead of deer grazing upon the green slopes of the park there was only such prodigiims cattle as sheep, cows, etc. And at the sight of all this abundance of good things, and esjieeially tho well stored buttery, Dawson declared he could live hero all his life and never worry. And with that, all unthinkingly, ho lays his arm about Midi's waist. "Then, good friend, as thee wouldst help the man in peril of being torn from his child, render me this estate to gov- Calmly the old gentleman settled his eyeglasses on his nose, and leaning on the edge of the witness box he regarded the lawyer for a second or two. hunger by starving. To add to this, he uow saw his Moll more bewitching than ever sho was before, the evidence of her wit and understanding stimulating that admiration which ho dared not express. Ho beheld her loved and courted openly tDy all, while he who had deeper feeling ."or her than any and more right to caress her must at each moment stifle his desires anCl lay fetters on his inclinations, which constraint, like chains binding down a stout, thriving oak, did eat and corrode into his being, so that he did live most of these days in a veritable torment, yet for Moll's sake was he very stubborn in his resolution, and when ho could no longer endure to stand indifferently by while others were enjoying her in sprightly conversation he would go up to his chamber and paee to and fro, like some she lion parted from her cut). The following morning before Moll was stirring Don Sanchez and Dawson set forth on their journey, and I, going with them beyond the park gates to the bend of the road, we took leave of each other with a great show of cheerfulness ou both sides. But, Lord! My heart lay in my breast like any lump of lead, and when J.ick turned his back on mo the tears sprang up in my eye as though indeed this-was my brother and I was uever to see him moro. And long after he was out of sight I sat on tho bauk by the roadside, sick with pain to think of his sorrow in going forth like this, without one hist loving word of parting from his dear Moll, to find no. home in London, no friend to cheer him, and he the most companionable man in the world. "Will you tell us," he asked very deliberately, "whether in your opinion— in your own opinion, mind you—I cannot conceive any one else entertaining the slightest doubt whatsoever on the matter—whether you are as big a fool as you look?"

These sufferings were not unperseived by Moll, who also had strong feeling to repress and therefore could comprehend her father's torture, and she would often seize an opportunity— nay, run great risk of discovery—tohie her secretly to his room, there to throw herself in his arms and strain him to her heart, covering his great face with tender kisses and whispering words of hope and good cheer, with the tears on her cheek. „\n I one day when Jack seemed more than usual downhearted she offered him to give up everything and return toiler old ways, if he yvould.

There were rumors at the lime th»t tie man was a victim of foul play. The suspicion wan aroused by the statement by persons living near the scene that shots were fired during the night, and by certain remarks attributed to foreigners, who had indulged in a row on Saturday night. County deteative Eokert looked up the case, and secured from Beveral Polish In formants whose names Le does not care t D make public information which l.d him to swear out warrants for the arreet of the following men: Mathias Marchowlcz, of Upper Plttston, In whose house the crime is alleged to have b«en committed ; John Palkonis, of Center street; William Awaik ytz% of Center street, and Anthony Kasbuba, of West Pittston.

Almost every one who has been seletted is, If not openly hostile to the Congressman! at least not an ardeit friead. There is Dr. Houser, of Taylor, for instance; everybody knows abont his grievance. Being a Congressman isn't such a snap as some people imagine after all.

"But surely, senor," says I, "you will not quit us ho soon " DC hi Sanchez rolls his cigarro in his lips, looking me straight in tho face and somewhat sternly, and asks me quietly if I have ever found him lacking in loyalty and friendship.

Before going Don Sanchez warned us that very likely Simon would pay us a visit suddenly to satisfy any doubts that might yet crop up in his suspicions mind, and so, to be prepared for him, I got in a good store of paper and books such as a merchant might require in peeking to re-»istablish himself in business, and Dawson he Id himself in readiness to do his share of this knavish business. Sure enough, about three days after this, the drawer, who had been instructed to admit no one to my chamber without my consent, comes up to say that the little old man in leathor, with the weak eyes, would see mo, so I bade him Jn a high voice bid Mr. Simon step up, And setting myself before my table of paper engage in writing a letter (already half writ), while Dawson slips out into the nest room. "Take a seat, Mr. Steward," says I when Simon entered, cap in hand, and casting a very prying, curious look around. "I must keep you a minute or two " And so I feign to be mighty busy, and give him scope for observation. "That would not I," says Dawson stoutly. "A year and a half of Elche have cured jne of all fondness for foreign parts, pesides, 'tis a beggarly, scurry tiling to fly one's country, as if we had done some unhandsome, dishonest trick. If I faced an Englishman, I should never dure look him straight in tho eyes again.

Of all her new friends, the most eager in courting her were Sir Harry Upton and his lady (living in the Crays), and they, being about to go to London for the winter, did press Moll very hard to go with them that she might be pn-si ntp4 to the Jcing, and, truth to tell, they would not have had to ask her twice had she been governed only by her own inclination. She was mad to go—that audacious spirit of adventure still working very strong in her—and she, like a w inning gamester, must forever be playing for higher and higher stakes. But we, who had heard enough of his excellent but lawless majesty's court to fear the fate of (my Impulsive, beauteous young woman that came within his sway, were quite against this.

As for Dawson, ho declared he would sooner seo his Moll in her winding sheet than in the king's company, adding that 'twould be time, enough for her to think of going to court when sho had a husband to keep her out of mischief. And so she refused this Offer (but with secret tears, I believe).

And there wo had need of all our self command to conceal onr joy in finding those gates open to us, which wo had looked through so fondly when we wore last here, and to spy Moll in a stately gown on the fine terrace before this noble house, carrying herself as if sho had lived here all her life, and Don Sanchez walking very deferential by her side.

"That has to be proved, Mr. Steward," says I severely, "for you must admit that up to thj# present she has had no reason to love yo«, seeing that, had her fate been left in your bands, she would now be in Barbary, and , iike to end her days thoro. How, then, can she think but that you had some selfish, wicked end in denying her tno service we, who are strangers, have rendered ber?" In short, buing now plunged tip to tuy neck in tiiis business, I felt like a foolish lad who hath waded beyond his depth iu a rapid current, hoping I might somehow get out of it safely, but with very little expectation.

Nevertheless 1 was not displeased to re memlx-r our bargain with Dm Sanchea, feeling that I should breathe more freely when he had taken this store of gold out of my hands, etc. Thus did my mind waver this way and that, like a weathercock to the blowing of contrary winds.

"That may bo ordered enough," says the don. readily Surely, thinks I, there was never a more strange, original creature than tliis, yet it do seem to mo that there is no man but his passion must appear a madness to others. "Then do you tell her, senor, I have tint gone a junketing, and she may look to see me agaii\ when my frolio's over." Whilo he was giving way to these extravagances, which Moll had not the heart to rebuff—for in her full, warm heart she was as overjoyed to see him there as he her—Don Sanchez and I paced up and down the spacious hall, I all of a-twitter lest one or other of the servants might discover the familiarity of these two (which must have been a fine* matter for curious gossip in the household and elsewhere), and the don mighty somber and grave (as foreseeing an evil outcome of this business), so that ho would make no answer to my civilities save by dumb gestures, showing ho was highly displeased. But truly 'twas enough to set us all crazy, but he, with joy, to 1)0 in possession of all these riches and think that we had landed at Chatham scarce a fortnight before without decent clothes to our backs, and now, but for the suocess of our dosign, might 1kD the penniless strolling vagabonds we were when 4Jon Sanchez lighted on us. Tho don closed his eyes as one in dubitation, and then says, lifting his eyobrows: "She is » clever woman—shrewd beyond any I have ever known. Then why treat her as you would a foolish child? You must let me tell her the truth when I come back, and 1 warrant it will not break her bCWt, much as she loves yon." Toe train, in falling, destroyed the telegraph line, and news of the wreck was therefore very meagre The engine which pulled the wrecked »-alu was 44 i. The tracks were blooked, and express train fjc, 1, due here at 1:48, was delayed for several Bis Question. I must sjHiak now of Moll, her admirablo carriage and sober conduct in these new circumstances, which would have turned tho heads of most others. Nover onco to my knowledge did she lose her self possession pn tho most trying occasion, and this was duo, not alone to her own shrewd wit and understanding, but to the subtle intelligence of Don Sapohez, who in the character of an old and trusty friend was ever by her side, watchful of her interest (and his own), ready at any moment to drop in her ear a quiet word of warning or counsel. JJy bis advice she had taken into her service a most commendable, proper old gentlewoman, one Mrs. Margery Butterby, who, as being tho widow of a country parson, was very orderly in all things and particularly nice in the proprieties. This potable good soul was ot a cheery, chatty disposition, of very pleasing manners and a genteel appearance, and so, though holding but the part of housekeeper, she served as an agreeable companion and a respectable guardian, whose mere presence in the house relieved any question that might have arisen from tho fact of three men living under the same roof with tho young and beautiful mistress of Hurst Court, she served us as a very useful kind of mouthpiece, for all those marvelous stories of her life in Barbary, of the pirates we had encounterod in redeeming her from tho Turk, eto., with Which Moll wouid beguile away any half hour, for tho mere amusement of creating Mrs. Butterby's wonder and surprise, as one will tell stories of fairies to children, this good woman repeated with piapy additions of her own oonoeruiijg ourselves, which, to reflect oredit on herself, wore all to our advantage. Tliis was the more fitting, becanso the news spreading that tho lost heiress Jiad returned to Hurst Court excited puriosity far and wide, and it was pot long beforo f:vuiilies in the surrounding seats, who had known Sir W. Godwin in bygone times, palled to see his laughter. And here .Moll's tact was taxed to the utmost, for some who had known Judith Godwin as on infant expected that she should remember some incident stored in their recollection. But she was ufer equal to the occasion, feigning a pretty doubting innocence at first, then suddenly asking this lady if she liai not worn a cherry dress with a beautifu} stomacher, or that gentleman if he had not given her a goldpioco for a token, and it generally happened theso shrewd shafts hit their mark, tho lady, though she might have forgotten her gown, remembering sho had a very becoming stomacher at that time, tho gentleman believing that ho did give her a luck penny, und so forth, from rery vanity. Then Moll's lofty carriage and her beauty would remind thein of their dear lost friend, Mrs. Godwin, in the heyday of her youth, and all agreed in admir - ing her beyond anything, and though Moll, from her lack of knowledge, made many plijw and would now and then say things flncuston ary to women of breeding, yet theso were easily attributed to "Do you think, then, thai thedefendant wits in the right?" asked a young lawyer of an elderly and cautious witness.But here (that I may keep all my strings in harmony) I must quit Moll for a space to tell of her father. That first hint of the don's bringing him to his senses somewhat, like a dash of cold water, and the exnlwrance of his joy subsiding, he quickly became moro circumspect in his behavior and fell into the part ho had to play, and tho hard, trying, sorrowful part that was neither ho nor I had foreseen, for now was he compelled for the first time in his lifo, at any length, to live apart from his daughter, to refrain from embracing her when they met in the morning, to speak to her in a rough, churlish sort when his heart maybe overflowing with love and to reconcile himself to a cool, indifferent behavior on her side when his very soul was yearning for gentle, tender warmth, and these natural cravings of affection were rather strengthened than stilled/ by repression, as one's "Well, were it not that"— "Come, cnnie," interrupted the lawyer.

"As you will, "says t'other. " 'Twill be all as one to me," with a sigh. "Thou art my own Moll—my own sweet Moll!" adding, as she would break from him to go her way, "Nay, chick, you shall not go till you have bussed your old dad. " "This falls out well in all ways,"' continues tho don, turning tome. "Yon will tell Simon, \vhoso suspicion we have most to fear, that wo have handed over 4,000 of thoso pieces to Captain Evans as being most in need, we ourselves choosing tu *t«y here till the rest of our claim is paid. That will acoount Evans going away and give us a pretext for string here." FATAL BOLT OF LIGHTNING. "I really cannot reply 'yes' or 'no' to such a question. Either answer would be misleading. You see, I"— Four Horses Killed On the Towanda Fair Ground. "Do you mean to say, sir," stormed the lawyer, working himself into a state of indignation, "that you could frame a question to which I could not reply 'yes' or 'no?' " Then she, hesitating a moment hatwixt prudence and her warmer feelings, suddenly yields to the impulse of her heart, her head also being turned maybe v. ith success and delight, and flinging her arms about his neck gives him a hearty kiss, and then bursts away with a light laugh. 26 there was a furious storm at Towan a, where tae Bradford county fair was In progress. The Review says : " At about half ptst one the storm bt.rst with terrible fury and for half an hour raged with the forcsof a mini-tare cyclone acoompt»nled with severe thunder and lightning.

"Certainly I could," said the old gentleman quietly. "I'll visit him myself, if you will," says Jack, "and wring his beard to show my gratitude. I warrant I'll make him wince, such a grip will I give him, and I'll talk of nothing else but seas and winds and the manner of ship I'll have for bis money." "Then let us hear it," said the man of law, turning with a smile of incredulity to the judge and jury. "By all means let us hear it." "I begin to understand you, Mr. Stew ard," says I. Jack watches her out of sight, and then, when the moment of escape is past, ho looks below to see if there be any danger, and there lie spies Don Sanchez, regarding him from the open door, where he stands fS if t*D guard it. Without, a sign the don turns on his heel and goes back into tho room, while Dawson, with a miserable hangdog look, comes to me in my chamber, where I am counting the gold, and confesses his fully with a shamed face, enrsing himself freely for his indiscretion, which at this rate must ruin nil ere long. Presently Moll came out from tho side room with her father, her hair all tumbled, and as rosy as a peach, and she would have us visit tho house from top to bottom, showing us tho rooms sot apart for us, her own chamber, tho state room, the dining hall, tho store closets for plate and linen, etc., all prodigious fine and in most excellent condition, for the scrupulous minute care of old Simon had suffered nothing to fall out of repair, tho rooms being kept woll aired, the pictures, tapestries und magnificent furniture all preserved fresh with linen covers and the like. From the hall she took us out on to the terrace to survey the park and the gardens about the bouse, and here, as within doors, all was in most admirable keeping, with no wild growth orrunaweeds anywhere, nor any sign of neglect. But I observed, as an indication of tho steward's thrifty, uupoetic mind, that the garden beds were planted with onions and such marketable produce, in place of flowers, and that instead of deer grazing upon the green slopes of the park there was only such prodigiims cattle as sheep, cows, etc. And at the sight of all this abundance of good things, and esjieeially tho well stored buttery, Dawson declared he could live hero all his life and never worry. And with that, all unthinkingly, ho lays his arm about Midi's waist. "Then, good friend, as thee wouldst help the man in peril of being torn from his child, render me this estate to gov- Calmly the old gentleman settled his eyeglasses on his nose, and leaning on the edge of the witness box he regarded the lawyer for a second or two. hunger by starving. To add to this, he uow saw his Moll more bewitching than ever sho was before, the evidence of her wit and understanding stimulating that admiration which ho dared not express. Ho beheld her loved and courted openly tDy all, while he who had deeper feeling ."or her than any and more right to caress her must at each moment stifle his desires anCl lay fetters on his inclinations, which constraint, like chains binding down a stout, thriving oak, did eat and corrode into his being, so that he did live most of these days in a veritable torment, yet for Moll's sake was he very stubborn in his resolution, and when ho could no longer endure to stand indifferently by while others were enjoying her in sprightly conversation he would go up to his chamber and paee to and fro, like some she lion parted from her cut). The following morning before Moll was stirring Don Sanchez and Dawson set forth on their journey, and I, going with them beyond the park gates to the bend of the road, we took leave of each other with a great show of cheerfulness ou both sides. But, Lord! My heart lay in my breast like any lump of lead, and when J.ick turned his back on mo the tears sprang up in my eye as though indeed this-was my brother and I was uever to see him moro. And long after he was out of sight I sat on tho bauk by the roadside, sick with pain to think of his sorrow in going forth like this, without one hist loving word of parting from his dear Moll, to find no. home in London, no friend to cheer him, and he the most companionable man in the world. "Will you tell us," he asked very deliberately, "whether in your opinion— in your own opinion, mind you—I cannot conceive any one else entertaining the slightest doubt whatsoever on the matter—whether you are as big a fool as you look?"

These sufferings were not unperseived by Moll, who also had strong feeling to repress and therefore could comprehend her father's torture, and she would often seize an opportunity— nay, run great risk of discovery—tohie her secretly to his room, there to throw herself in his arms and strain him to her heart, covering his great face with tender kisses and whispering words of hope and good cheer, with the tears on her cheek. „\n I one day when Jack seemed more than usual downhearted she offered him to give up everything and return toiler old ways, if he yvould.
