-"Ho," said Bidnlph, as he looked at the
- row of bottles.
" , "Testing the corks," was the answer.
'"Ascertaining exactly how long it will take
the acid with which the hottles are filled to
eat through the corks, which are or various
' lengths and qualities. That acid explodes
idvnamite a few seconds after it has come in
contact with it. Uow, I dare say you can
see how I work. Having placed a quantity
of dynamite in a box, I put among it a bot
tle containing that acid, corked and inverted
as those are. I know the length and quality
of the cork, and can tell, consequently,
within a couple of hours at the outside how
long it will take the acid to work through
it. There is no mechanism to get out ot
order or reveal itselt by any clicking or
noise. It is the most simple and perfect dis
covery that has been made in the business
as yet."
"It's admirable," said Bidulph, in some
what the tone of reverential awe that an ar
dent connoisseur might speak while gazing
on a masterpiece of art. Finally it was ar
ranged that Denton was to receive 100,
and that he was to have the box of dynamite
ready for dispatch on the following Tuesday
at 12 o'clock.
On Tuesday, then, at 12 o'clock, Bidulph
Said the 100. and took the box away with
im on a truck which Denton had in readi
ness. It was taken to a carrier, and for
warded by him to a shipping agent in Liver
pool, to be consigned to .New York. On
Friday morning Mr. Bidulph received a
bill of lading and letter or advice from the
shipping agent, from which it appeared that
the box in question, labeled "Hardware Z.
375," with sundry other goods of his, had
been put on board tbe steamship Falcon,
which was to leave for Kew York at 6
o'clock on Friday afternoon. During the
day .Mr. Bidulph visited the offices of sev
eral brokers and insured tbe goods he had
on board tbe Falcon to the extent of about
20,000.
The Ashtons, who had arranged, as we
have seen, to travel by a Canard steamer,
left Euston at 11 o'clock on Thursday night
to meet the steamer, which was to sail from
Liverpool at 8 o'clock on Friday "morning.
Mrs. Ashton was Bidulph's favorite
child, and when he returned from the
station, where he had been to see heroff, he
felt an intense sense ot loneliness with, for
"the first time, a carious dread of some im
pending evil.
PAETIL
On Saturday morning ilrs. Bidnlph ex
claimed as she opened a letter while at
breakfast.
"Why, goodness me, it is from Ellen!
"What can have happened?"
Then, after a moment's silence, while she
glanced rapidly over it, she read aloud:
"Steamship Falcojt, Friday Deab
Mamma Juit a line in haste to tell yon
that owing to a heavy fog last night our
train was delayed for more than three hours
on the way to Liverpool. We just missed
the Cunard steamer which left at 8 o'clock.
We have, however, taken our passage by
the Falcon, from which I write. "We start
in about half an hour, and expect to be in
If ew York on Monday week. The Falcon
is a very fine vessel, and is quite as good, I
tjjink, as any of the Canard steamers. I
must conclude now, as there is just time to
send tbe letter to post "With love to all,
your affectionate daughter,
Ellen Ashtoit."
"What is the matter with you, John?"
asked Mrs. Bidulph, when she had finished
reading this letter.
Her husband had turned very pale, and
bis hand trembled so much that he could
lardlv raise his cup to his lips.
".Nothing," he said with an effort, after a I
moment s pause. Its one ot those horrid
spasms, but it has gone now. "What a
nuisance their train being delayed in that
way."
"You never complained of spasms before;
there must be something wrong with you. I
shall send f Dr. Graham," exclaimed Mrs.
Bidulph nervously.
"2fo.no," was the answer; "I'm all right
now; it has quite cone."
By a strong exercise of self-control he
managed to sit through the meal and to act
in such a way as not to draw any further
attention to himself. "When breakfast was
over he"hastily went to his study, where he
paced up and down the room, whispering to
himseir every lew seconds tbe words, "My
child, my child 1" Presently there was a
knock at the door, and a servant came into
the room to say that "a Mr. Denton would
like to see Mr. Bidulph."
"Oh, show him up here at once, please,"
he said, as he sank into a chair trembling
all over. "Some devil's message, this," he
exclaimed, almost aloud; "I knew there
was something wrong. "What can this fresh
complication be?"
He had not to wait long to know. In a
few seconds Denton came into the room,
much more smartly dressed than he had
formerly been.
"Anything the matter? Sit down," said
Bidulph when the door was closed.
"I'm afraid there is something the matter,
and I thought it right to come to you at
once," replied Denton. "'Was the address
on the box genuine?"
"Genuine! "What do you mean?" ex
claimed Bidulph.
"I mean, is there such a firm as Brown &
"Wilson, the people to whom the box was
consigned?"
"Of course there is. I had to insure it in
my own name, as all the insurance brokers
know me. And I dare not send it to a false
address lest it should be discovered that I
bad done so."
"Then we must disappear," said Denton,
calmly,
"Disappear? For heaven's sake, why?
"What has happened? Tell me everything.
Speak, speak, .for God's sake!" cried Bi
dulph, frantically.
"What has happened, I am sorry to say,
is this: That I have made a mistake," re
plied Denton, with the utmost deliberation.
"The cork I used was of the wrong quality.
It will take the acid not eight, but 20 days
to eat through it In the meantime Brown
& Wilson will have received and opened
the box, and the whole thing will be de
tected. You have every right to blame me
for tbe mistake, but you would have reason
to blame me still more if I had not come
like a man to warn you ol it. Good by, Mr.
Bidulph!" and with these words Denton
rose lrom his seat and left tbe house.
"Whither he went or what became of him I
do not know; bnt his house in Millwall was
shut up and deserted when Bidulph called
there that alternoon.
Would it be possible for Bidulph by tak
ing tbe next steamer to New York to get
there in time to recover tbe box before itwas
f opened by Brown & Wilson? I merely
moot tbe question because it might occur to
some reader who is not conversant with
shipping matters. Possibly there might J
have been time; but liiculph knew if tbe
box once reached New York its contents
would be discovered, because it would have
to be opened before being cleared from the
Custom House. The tinly chance, there
fore, he had of avoiding detection, which
would mean penal servitude for life, was
'that the box might still explode while the
Falcon was on her passage. If that should
happen he would be freed from his financial
difficulties, and freed from the terrible fate
that awaited him if the vessel reached her
destination iu safety. Thus throngh many
'terrible days was Mr. Bidulph forced to
hope that by the murder of his dearest child
'he might himself escape ruin, execration,
and lifelong imprisonment.
During the next week Bidulph was
.strangely silent and abstrac ted inhis manner.
On tbe Saturday he drew irom his banker
400 in gold and notes, 250 of which he
made np into a small parcel addressed to
Mrs. Bidulph. When Mondav came he was
tip betimes, and glanced eagerly at the ship
's? news in tbe morning paper.
"Not time yet, though' was his muttered
expression as he ran his eyes over the
column in which the arrivals and depart
ure of ships and steamers are announced,
- without finding any notice of the Falcon.
'On Tuesday and Wednesday there was the
same result. But on tbe Thursday morn
ing, among tbe arrivals at New York he
read the dreaded words, s. s. Falcon, all
;welL"
Mrs. Bidnlph was in her bedroom dress
ing, when her husband came into the room
looking so pale and haggard that she cried
out:
"Oh, John, something dreadful has bap-
'ened. I hare felt for the last week that I
0 -"
something was wrong. For God's sake,
what U it?"
"Hush, hush, my dear," he answered.
"Yon must do exactly as I tell yon to do.
Pack up tome of your own and the chil
dren's things, and be prepared to leave
London with me this afternoon. Tell the
servants we are going to your mother's
house for a day, and that we shall be back
to-morrow evening. But be prepared never
to return here again. I shall tell you every
thing to-morrow. For the present do as I
tell you, and keep your own counsel."
That evening he left London with his
family for Liverpool, and on Friday morn
ing he put them on board a steamer that
was leaving for New York. It was only
when the vessel was abont to start that he
took Mrs. Bidnlph aside and said: "There
are your tickets, and there is a packet with
250 in gold and notes, and a letter whieh
will explain why I am not going with you.
It is not because I do not love you, but be
cause it is absolutely necessary for onr chil
dren's sake that I 'should not. The letter
will explain why. Go to Ellen directly you
reach New York." Before she had recov
ered herself he had left the steamer, which
was on its way down the Mersey. In the
letter were merely these words!
"Dablhto Jake Directly yon get to
New (York tell Mr. Ashton to apprise
Messrs. Brown & Wilson, of 126 Wall
street, that among the goods shipped to
them by me is a box marked 'Z 375, con
taining dynamite, which ought to be ex
amined as soon as possible. For the sake
of the children keep the matter as private as
possible. In a new land they will not be
tarnished by the memory of their erring
father. My body will be found in the Eagle
Hotel. Forget, and try to forgive, a hus
band who at least loved vou all.

FKEE BRIDGES FAR OFF.
The County Can't be Compelled to Pay for
Them Tbe City Attorney Promptly Dis
pels a Day Dream.
The special Committee on Free Bridges
met in the City Attorney's office yesterday
afternoon, Mr. 8. A. Duncan presiding.
The first move made was the reading of
the resolution presented by Mr. Nisbet in
Select Council three weeks ago. As this
was abont the only practical paper the com
mittee had to consider, Mr. Robertson
moved that it be referred to the City At
torney for an opinion. The points of the
resolution were the questions of the city's
right and power to condemn and purchase
bridges, to build new bridges, or whether
the county could legally be compelled to
build or purchase bridges in the city. Mr.
Robertson incorporated another point in the
questions to be decided by tbe City Attor
ney, as to whether the city had the right or
power to enter into an agreement with a
traction or other company or corporation to
build a bridge, the. city to bear her propor
tion of the cost and expense.
The City Attorney answered tbe question
as to the possibility of compelling the connty
to build bridges in the negative very
promptly. He said it was impossible to
compel the county to do anything of the
kind. The matter had been carefully studied
up by the Solicitor and himself about a year
ago, when itwas proposed to pave the streets
surrounding the Court House with asphalt
and compel the county to pay the same as a
taxpayer. They had found that there was
no law that would compel the connty to par
ticipate in that expense or for any other im
provement of that character, and unless the
county did it voluntarily it wonld not be
done at all so far as the county was con
cerned. The creek bridges built by the
county were not parallels to the river
bridges, but even they were built by the
county at its option.
The other points on which the committee
desired an opinion the Solicitor said be
wonld look up and answer as quickly as
possible. Mr. Carr wanted to know if the
city could take possession of a site for a
bridge that had already been secured by a
private corporation or company.
"No, sir." said the attorney. "The char
ters to individuals or companies come from
the same source as the city's charter, and
the city has no superiority over the private
company in that respect"
Mr. Carr then wanted to know if the at
torney could say how many charters had
been granted to bridge companies on the
Monongahela river.
The City Attorney looked aghast when
Mr. Carr propounded the question. "Why,
gentlemen," said he, "it would take a man
a week to go to Harrisburg and look over,
the records to find an answer to that ques
tion. Under the pernicious legislation
last year charters were granted to anybody
for anything and no questions asked. How
many Monongahela river bridge charters
were included in that vast number it would
require some time to find out."
Mr. Moreland advised the committee to
wait until he could hunt up the law on the
subject of the city's rights in the matter of
condemnation and purchase before they
went any further, as that was the main
point now, and they conld not act intelli
gently without it.
A discussion as to how information re
garding the cost of building bridges, tbe
cost of those already built, and the prices
asked by the owners thereof was decided by
the appointment of a sub-committee con
sisting of Messrs. Robertson and Nisbet,
whose duty it will be to gather the required
information through the State Secretary of
Internal Affaiis and the owners of the
bridges themselves.
Air. Robertson proposed a discussion of a
proposition to purchase from the bridge
companies the right of free foot passage,
but the other members were not willing,
and the committee adjourned to meet next
Friday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
'TWAS POWDER AFTER ALL.
An Aced Citizen Convinced of the Troth of a
Tradition.
New York Sun.
One Fourth of July, in Plugtown, the
boys who were firing the anvil at intervals
ran short of powder and started around town
to solicit moneyto buy some more. When
they came to Uncle Billy Smith, sitting1 on
the drugstore steps and telling how his
grandfather helped whip the British in
Revolutionary days, the old man broke off
his story and said:
"Boys, up'ards of two years ago a peddler
left a keg of sunthin' in my cooper shop
over than It may be 'lasses or vinegar, an
it may be gunpowder. I ain't any wise
sartin' what she is, but you'll find it in
the corner to the right as you enter the back
door. Might knock in tbe head and see
what's in it."
Three or four of the boys started for the
shop, while he went on with his yarn. Ten
minutes had passed, and he was giving the
red coats fits at Lundy's Lane, when there
came a tremble a crash and the cooper
shop seemed to be lifted bodily 50 feet into
the air. All the men on the steps were
rolled off, but Uncle Bill was one of tbe first
up. Looking across at the heap of debris
on fire in a dozen places, he wared his
hand and exclaimed:
"I'll be gosh durned if it wasn't gunpow
der after all!"

KEEPING A MINISTER.
A Problem Preferable (o the Old One
of How to Get Sid of Him.
PBAIINGUP VERSUS PAIISGUP.
Advice to Congregations on a Qo. estion Far
From Unimportant.
KBWS B0TE8 FOR CHRISTIAN W0EKEES
"How to Get Bid o a Minister" has been
the subject of many an article, and while it
is undoubtedly true that there are times
when it is wise for a pastor to seek pastures
new, if he would not be a hindrance to the
work, yet would it not be often wiser to con
sider "How to Keep a Minister." How,
then, shall this be accomplished is certainly
not an unimportant question.
First Be at peace among yourselves. Do
congregations ever think how it tries the pa
tience of a peace-maker to hare his people
in a constant state of family broiling aud petty
quarreling? If. anything will tend to discour
age a pastor it Is to know that such exists.
Second Lire In peace with the pastor. How?
By speaking well of him; by kind words of ap
preciation, and by so letting him leel he is
really helpful to you. Do not always expect
him to preach with the eloquence of a Beecher,
or with the earnestnessof a Whitfield. When he
wants to propose plans ot work or suggest
ideas that he may think will be interesting and
helpful, do not discourage him by saying, "It
.can't be doner1 rather say, "Let us try," and
be will feel encouraged to greater zeal
Third Do not forget him in your prayer.
Ton expect the minister to pray for you;
why should you not do this for him? The
heart of every true pastor yearns for this. He
ongbttobeahle to feel that at every family
altar of his church he is not forgotten. But
not only should this be done in private, bnt also
in public Nothing in the prayer meeting will
tend to so uplift the pastor as to hear from the
lips of young and old the genuine "God bless
onr pastor."
Fourth Do not stop at prayinE him up, bnt
be sure he is paid up. This undoubtedly is one
of the causes of the many short pastorates.
Congregations solemnly before God promise to
pay the pastor in regular payments, but how
soon often they fail in their regularity. Many
a pastor would remain and the churches wonld
prosper if prompt settlements were always
made. The late President Finney used to say
that if a church failed in its obligations to Its
pastor it lied, and never could be blessed with a
revival until it repentea in uust iiu mum. x., j
then, a church has an earn est, faithful, devoted I
pastor, and would seep mm, let it cultivate
peace among Its own aud toward the pastor; let
it not forget to pray for him and pay him, and
then see if God will not pour ont a blessing:
' 'Tis nob exnee of small Import
The pastor's care demands.
Bat whit might fill an angers heart,
And filled a Baylor's hands.
' 'May ther that Jesus, whom they preach.
Their own Redeemer see.
And watch Thou dally o'er their souls
That they may watch for Thee.

FROM GLMDALE.
An Interesting Sensation Which Was
Recently Developed There.
THE PARTICULARS IN THE CASE.
The little town of Glendale, near Mans
field, Fa., on the Little "Washington Ball
road, is without doubt one of the prettiest
places in this section. iWithin tbe last tew
days it has developed quite an interesting
sensation. The writer, on a recent visit to
the place, met Mrs. Ella Black, the lady In
terested in the case. During an Interview
she stated the particulars as follows:
"I have been troubled with colds and
headache for several years. My head was
stopped np and felt dry and feverish. I
had a severe" pain in it continually. At
first it was a dnll heavy feeling over the
eyes, but gradually it extended entirely
around my head. My nose was clogged np
so that I could scarcely breathe through it.
My eyes became inflamed and watery, and
my sight was seriously impaired.
"I had a hard cough, and would raise dark
yellow mucus. After a timel began to
grow worse rapidly. I would have severe
pains in my breast. .They wonld come on
me suddenly. Sometimes they wonld be so
severe as to almost take my breath awav.
There was a twitching sensation about my
heart, sometimes my heart wonld palpitate
rapidly, and thea beat slowly and irregu
larly. This would be followed by a feeling
oi dizziness, as though I was going to faint
Mrs. Ella Black, Glendale, Pa,
'My throat was sore and inflamed. At
tine
es my neck would feel lame aud swollen.
Tiere was a lumpj in my throat, which I
couiu uub get up oriuown. x coum ieei tne
mucus dropping back into my throat, and
when I laid down it would almost strangle
me. The trouble stocked my vocal organs, and
for one year and a half I conld not speak above
a whisper without gat effort.
-My whole system It length became affected,
and I lost rapidly in Sesh and strength. I bad
night sweats. My jleep was broken. I would
get up in the morning feeling moro tired than
when I went to bed ft night I cnuld not eat at
all in the morning, Lnd very little at any other
time. After eating tt wonld feel Inclined to
vomit, and it was ofly by an effort that I could
retain any food on uv stomach.
"It was when lwas feeling the very worst,
and had about givel up all hopes of getting
cured, that I notied a case in the newspapers
which was Similar p mine that Drs. Uopeland
and Blair bad treacd successfully. I called on
them, and onuini their charges reasonable,
placed myself undlr their care.
"I began to notiffi an imprnvementin my con
dition in a very shirt time. Firsj my bead and
throat became clejr. I bad no more trouble
with my eyes. Ilie night sweats ceased. My
cough left me. Tnl pain in my breast gradually
disappeared and ny heart beat regularly, In
fact. I am entirell cured, and am as wellto-dav
as I ever v. as. I we my recovery to Drs. Cope
land and Blair, aiu think it is no more than
right that I saonu make this statement." Mrs.
Black lives, as Itated, at Glendale, Pa., and
this statement cal be easily verified.
UPOI THE HEARING.
Showing the Cojnection and the Signs of Pro
gress.
A large proportion oi the tronbles of the
ear may be tried to catarrhal affections.
Many sufferer irom catarrh will testify to
the peculiar efect that the disease seems to
have even in is early stages upon the hear
ing. The roaring and buzzing in the ears is
one ot the most familiar symptons to
catarrhal sufferers.
Sometimes the sound which they hear in
their ears is described by them as "steam
going out or a pipe," "the sound of a great
waterfall," "sounds of water overflowing,"
or "steam from a locomotive," as buzzing,
singing, ringing and crackling; sometimes
like the sounds in a shell held at the ear, or
tbe bnrsting of bubbles.
Sometimes the sounds are of a beating,
pulsating, throbbing character, in cases
keeping time with the regular beating ot
the heart. Sometimes there are several differ
ent sounds, such as pulsating and bnzzine to
gether, in some cases tbe sounds are so intense
as to render life a burden, and there are in
stances on record where the distracted suf
ferers have resorted tosuicide to rid themselves
of them.
There can be no morelmportant predisposing
or exciting cause in producing ear diseases
than catarrh In the nose and throat; The
symptoms of catarrh itself can hardly be mis
taken. In many cases tbe patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back. Tbey feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth bas a bad taste, especially in the morn
ing. A sort of sticky slime collects about tbe
teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feel
ing like a bearv load on tbe stomach, some
times a faint, "all-gone" sensation at the pit of
the stomach, which tood does not satisfy. The
eyes are sunken, tbe hands and feet become
cold and clammy.
After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it i attended with a green
ish colored expectoration, rue patient feels
tired, ail tho while, and sleep does not Seem to
afford any rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy, and bas evil
forebodings. There is a ciddiness. a sort of
whirling Bcnsatlon in tbe bead when rising up
suddenly. The bowels become costive, the skin
is dry -and hot at times; the blood becomes
thick and stagnaut; tbe whites ot the eyes be
come tinged with yellow: tbe kidney secretions
become scanty and high-colored, depositing a
sediment after rtanding. There is frequently
a spitting up of food, sometimes with a sour
taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste, this
is frequently attended with palpitation of tbe
heart and asthmatic symptoms.
The Results of Home Treaiment.
Last May Miss Lottie J. Forker. of 290
Arch street, Meadville. Pa., placed herself
under treatment by mail with Drs.Copeland
& Blair for her catarrhal trouble.
On June 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is
doing megood. I do not feel so tired and my
herdaches have ceased."
August 26 her letter stated: "I feel quite
like a different woman from the one I was
when I commenced your treatment"
Mr. M. C. Wilson, who commenced using
the home treatment early in July, wrote on
the 25th of tbe same month: "I am improv
ing steadily; feel much better than I have
for years past"
August 1G he wrote: "I am feeling like
a different being from the one I was when I
commenced your treatment, and am glad tu
be able to make this statement"
