been for generations subjected te cxcesslve

"Anether portion of the army is operating
in the regions east of I.tburla, and by sup
pressing the disturbing element, unfetter

religion and letters, Is, in ene souse, opening
tlie way for negre immigrants of intelligence
and en orgy from America te push out from
tne Airica-Amcrican repuiiiic te tne ueaiiuy

en se it is lerstnlliug the vhole region for
Mohammedanism and making It dilllcult if
net Impossible, if, Indeed, It is desirable, te
convert that country te the faith Imported
from America by the Immigrants.
"The third portion of tlie army is up.
ptnachlng the coast a few miles northwest of
Klerra Leone. It has secured the submission
by torce or voluntary Mirrfctider of nil the
the tribes en theVay for 600 miles back.
"The largest mitt most Important pagan
kingdom this slde of the Niger was Saallma,
of which Talaba, a large commercial city,
was the capital. Fer the last sixty years the
Fulah Mehammedans have btcn trying, by
diplomacy und byHrms, te subdue this city
te the faith; but it has alnays sti(csslully
resistetl both diplomat and warrior. Last
year Samudtt's nrmy, in ever helming num num

vested, nnd after a terrible slege of live
mouths the king assembled the royal family
und principal chiefs lu the powder-lieuso and
infeimed them that he could held out no
longer, as his resources wcie exhausted, but,
having ler mero than 200 years belonged te
the ruling element, he was determined for
himself nnd family te dte rather than ceme
under Mohammedan rule. He gae the
chlefs thelr choice, cither le dle with him or
go out of the town and glve thetnselvcs up
te the enemy. They decided te dle with
him. He then set lire te the powder and
they wero all bleun up. Thus ended the
Haalima power, which for mero than seven
generations had inllnenced the trade und
politics of extensive districts, and had com
manded the principal highways te the coast.

Held ler ihe Ironsides last year, and who
during the ptosent season played en tlie
Jersey City nnd Wilkcsbirre clubs respec
tively. When a resilient of Lancaster, Mr.
Bradley frequently referred le his parents ns
still living lu New Brr.iisu Ick, N. J., and te
his brothers and sisters there resident. Re Re Re
momberlng theso lads, the following from
the Wllkosbarre A'cic Dealer of August 21,
reads very much llke a fairy lain :

lelt-llelder and lately short slop of our ex
cellent organization, lias ascertained from
the most reliable sources that he had Just
fallen heir ten fortune amounting te fully
$100,000. The story of the circumstances
leading te the boy's geed fortune Is as in
tensely Interesting as It Is romantic.
In January, 1SS.", there died at Shellleld,
Fngland, u wealthy manufacturer of cullery
named William Crawford Temple, who nt
the time of his death proved te be worth per
sonal properly and real ostate te the amount
of forty thousand pounds sterling. Mr.
Tomple was the father of two children, u son
and a daughter, and around the hitter's his
tory bangs a thread or romance.
AN tJNrur.MNil I'ATltKlI.
It appears that In 18.VJ the daughter, whose
uatne was AUce Tomple, formed the ucqntnt ucqntnt
nnce of Charles Bradley, then the colonel of
nn Kuidlsh regiment, et that tlme statloned In
Shelileld. This acquaintance gradually
rlpencd into friendship, nnd from friendship
Inte leve. Everything ran smoothly until
a few mouths later Colonel Bradley,
having obtained the young lady's prom prem
ise te wed him, nsked her father's con
sent In consequence of Colonel Bradley
having but a small income, the old man re
jected him with scorn, nnd wns given le un
derstand Unit nfler that day tlioTemple man
sion would be closed against hint. At the
same time lie wus I'eihlriricii le speak tour
lecognize tlie manufacturer's daughter. But
In this as in ether case, it was demonstra
ted that " leve laughs at locksmiths," and
tlie dlvine nircctlen trlumphed ever pa
rental dictation. Thrce weeks afterwards,
In direct violation or William CrawTerd Tem
ple's commands, Colonel Bradley and Miss
Allce Tomple were married. On aivounlef
net being recognized at home by Mr. Tem
ple, Cel. Brudiey resigned his commission,
nnd in company with his young wife, deter
mined te seek a fortune In rree America.
They located in New Brunswick, N. J.,
where thocelonel quickly fjiund employment
en lieard asteanibeat lie prospered nicely,
though circumstances did net admit of the
accumulation or any considerable sum or
money. In the meantime a bright boy which
had been born unto them, had cemented
thelr leve and made their fireside happier
than ever.
tiii: ini:vitaiu.k CI.OUP.
But, alas a cloud came nt last In 1670
while in the discharge or his duty, Colonel
Bradley wns accidently drowned in a storm
eir Sandy Heek. 1IU young wlfe survived
him but a few short months, dying of crirr
nnd n broken heart, leaving their only child,
Nicholas Bradley, u niere waifumongstrang waifumengstrang
ers, te light the battlu or life us bet he could.
The boy was seen thrown upon his own re re
beurces and gradually drilled from ene occu
pation le another, until the hummer of IfcS'J
leund him engaged os a professional base ball
player at Trenten, N. J. In IBS I lie played
with the Lancasters and this year Joined the
Wllkosbarre teamTpIaylng with the earncsU
nessund ability which have wen ter him an
enviable reputation lu the profession.
Yeung Bradley was yesterday net! lied in
tills city or the death or his graudruthcr
William Crawford Temple. It appears that
Mr. Temple, Iiocetnlng old and loncsemo
repented el his hasty nnd cruel treatment or
his only daughter en his death-bed, uud that
ene or the last arts or his lire was the willing
of half his estate le the missing daughter,
requesting his Ben te make a carerul search
for her and her child the latter te Inherit

Mr. Teuiple, r., nt ouce began tliosearch.
On arriving at ew Brunswick, n few' days

the constitution of Pennsylvania.
Section four or artlcle seventeen provides
that "no railroad, canal or oilier coriierallon,

The attorney general was a very busy man
last night, but he round time te say this
much whlle en his way te his eillce :
" I shall llle a bill In equlty te-morrow
