THE PITTSBUKG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JANTTAEY 18, 1890. 10 "Hissus, please sit again. A little longer Stopping, plenty water coming by-and-by." I was evidently the subject of more super stition, and, knowing what children tbey were in their fancies, I hope I may be ex cused when I confess that I lent myself tn their superstitions and consented to stay. I -was about to drop back into my seat on the step when the old man produced a thick, striped mtton rug, and spreading it close to the temple he invited me to come under the shelter of its walls. I accepted the invita tion, and found the rue a great improve ment on my other seat. The water had lost its silvery ripples and was like a dull sheet of gray. The old man covered my feet with some soft woolen cloth smelling of sandal wood. I noted that he was eager to make me comfortable, so as to insure my presence some time longer. Samalingum, now thoroughly roused from his slumberous state, watched him with interest as he disappeared into the -Musty recesses of the temple. I leaned forward and in at the small door way. The old man was busy lighting more lamps before the idol, and placing others in niches in the dnsty walls. He salaamed to the idol several times; and taking a -potsherd of live charcoal, he blew up a red spark and sprinkled some powder upon the embers. A beantitul blue smoke curled up ward and a powerful smell of burning in cense filled the air. It was so pleasant that when he had finished I beckoned to him to bring it to me. He brought a fresh supply of powder, and waved his smoking potsherd round me, as he had waved it round the idol. Mr clothes and nostrils were satur- . ated with the fine blue sinoke, and I lound it a soothing, comforting odor, that counter acted the somewhat marshy smell that was besinning to rise from the water. When he had thoroughly fumigated me, lie put his potsherd down and re-entered the building, returning in a few moments with some silver jewelry and some sparkling gems set rudely in gold. I held out my hands for the treasures, bnt he would not let me touch them. A necklace of green stones, some small head ornaments, some bangles and finger rings were slowly dis played be ore my presumably admiring eyes. Perhaps the old man, knowing the sex's weakness lor gems, thought that a sight of the temple jewelrv, with which the idol was adorned on great occasions, would calm my restlessness and keep me where I was. Slowly he replaced each jewel in its bit of cotton cloth. Then he opened another little parcel and took out a curious figure of an imaginary animal. It was a cross between a dog and a lion in the head, and it had a bull's body. She eyes, winch were enormous in propor tion to its size, stood out ot its head like fmzn' eyes and were formed of different colored stones; one was a dull, dark, rayless japphiie of no value at all; the other was a fiery ruby that scintillated marvelously, con sidering that I had nothing but the moon light and the illumination from the open door by which to examine it The old man laid thefignre in the palm o' my open hand and squatted la front of me. Be held my fingers alter the fashion of a fortune teller, examining the hand, but his eyes were bent upon mine. "Missus, look at the red eye and see how it sparkles. The Swami is pleased. Row, missus, look well and closely, and the red eye will turn toward the Swami inside the temple." borne tnctery, 1 thought, These people are adepts at conjuring, and perhaps by some wonderful machinery the little figure moves. Pull of curiosity I gazed at it closely, while the old man and Ramalingum, who b'ad edged round to the front alongside of the other, watched me intently, awaiting my expression of wonderment As I looked into the sparkling ruby eye, the old man still holding my fingers with gentle touch, my thoughts wandered away into the past What ancient sculptor had devised the strange uncouth animal repre sented here? And what did the red and blue eyes mean? Possibly this little sense less figure had often been the recipient of earnest prayer and supplication. Ah! The ruby was getting dull. Surely the sky was darkening, and I looked up quickly." The moon had disippeared and the vapor had prown into thick cloud. I shivered, for there was a strange, uncanny feeling in the air. Bamalingum took the woolen coverine from my feet, and, unfolding it, threw, it over my shoulders. I glanced down at the image in my hand. It had not changed; and tired of the posi tion, I withdrew my fingers from the old man's grasp, and laid the little idol down on the threshold of the temple. I noted at the time that I placed it immediately upon a figure of the trident engraved on the stone Ramahngum and his companion smiled laintly, bcarcely perceptibly, as I did so. Thtn the old man got up, and blowing the embers in the potsherd into a bright glow, he sprinkled more powder upon the fire and wafted blue clouds of smoke til round me. As the smoke cleared away my eyes caught sight of figures moving on the spit of sand opposite the temple. The clouds were pass ing away, and the moon shone out with a brilliancy more of the second than ot the first quarter. "Who are those people over there?" I asked Bamalingum. Again the peon and the old man appeared to exchange glances. "They are native people come to worship the river god," was the answer. My lethargy and indolence were gone. I also felt no iurther desire to go, nor did I fear that the cathering crowd would dislike my presence there. My mind was filled with an absorbing interest in their proceedings to the exclusion of all other thoughts; and, resting my face on my hands, I watched the white sandy promontorv with eagerness. Every moment fresh arrivals augmented the crowd, till there must have been some hun dreds. Some of them bore flaming torches of cotton, dipped in oil; others placed cres sets along the water's edge, and the smoking tongues of flame that rose from the burning oil were reflected on the rippling stream, the mellow light mingling strangely with the silverv moonbeams. The crowd was under the influence of some strong excite ment and a buzz of voices reached my ear. Surely Colonel Brevis and Mr. Savile were sot aware that a feast was point" tn tntn place that evening, or they would not have left me there. However, I was ever ready to study the native under religious excitement, and look on at his strange heathenish festivals. There was on v one fear ic mingling with an Indian crowd", and that was infection. People got up off their sick beds with convalescent smallpox, quite innocent of disinfectants, and spread the disease with criminal carelessness. Situated as I was on the rock, I was not likely to rub shoulders with them, and I new that they would not be allowed too near the awe-inspiring idol. The only wonder was that I was permitted to remain tbere. All at once the crowd on the sand nnrted and a clear pathway was formed in their midst Advancing down the open way came a group of people, bearing a handsome ahamiah by four poles. A fair high-caste girl I could see that she was of good caste by the way in which she wore the gold embroidered silk cloth that formed her dress walked beneath the fringed shamiah. She was loaded with jew els, that glittered in the moon and torch light as she moved, and heavy golden bangles on arms and ankles jingled as each foot touched the ground. On her forehead was set the mark of Vishnu. As she paused, the crowd bent low before her, some throwing themselves on their knees and touching their heads to the ground; others clasping their bands together and exclaiming, "Swami! Swami!" My old friend, who had stood byihe open door of his temple all this time, stepped Jor ward and went down to the water's edge. He had lost all the infirmity ot hu age in the anticipation of his duties, and his limbs seemed .supple and rounded with youth once more. I was surprised at the change, and looked hastily at the peon, to see if tne same change had been wrought in him. "So, there le was in his favorite squatting position, in tently regarding the scene on the sandy shore. The girl advanced to the stream and then stopped. Fonr men with clean-shaven heads, disfigured by swami marks, came for ward, and taking the girl in their arms, they carried her across the water and set her down before the guardian, of the temple. He touched her forehead with hit fingers, and, leading her by the hand, brought her before the open door, to within two or three yards of where I sat The lights from the many lamps within shone full upon her face, and showed me one of the most beautiful maidens of India I hadeverseen. Her com plexion was pale olive, her lips were full and of the rich red of the pomegranate. But lovelv as her features were, her eyes sur passe'd all the rest They were of a beauti ful velvety brown, like the rich brown spots on the panther's skin, and, under the influ ence of strong religious emotion, they mantled to a deep black every now and then and glittered like one of her own jewels. Her limbs were perfectly rounded, and her figure, which was fully grown and developed, was made of the graceful curves and lines that unrestricted nature gives to her own children. This must be some newly betrothed maiden, who has come to present her thank offering and pro pitiate the Deity on behalf of her espousals. Her people's land lies on the river bank, and, if the season is good, money and jewels will be forthcoming to forward the wedding. My heart warmed toward the trirl, and I smiled at her in sympathetic en couragement. But she did not see me, nor did others, who had waded across the stream after her, appear to notice my presence. Her rapt gaze was fastened on the idol, which she could see through the open door, and she slowly fell on her knees before the image. The old man went into the building, and, lifting the hideous oil-besmeared figure off its pedestal, brought it out and set it di rectly in front of her. It was about 3 feet hieli. Then the jewels that I had seen were also brought, and the idol was adorned with them. What a strange ritual it seemed. The buzz of voices from the crowd on the sand died away in breathless attention, and once more I could hear the lapping of the water against the piers of the big arches. Having adjusted the idol to his satisfac tion, the temple man directed the girl to place her hands upon its head. I now no ticed for the first time that one of her hands was marked by a mole, precisely similar to mine, except "that hers was ot jet black, while mine was brown. As she touched the stone she looked up in the man's face and asked him a question. Something was causing her uneasiness, and her beautiful eyes began to wear an anxious look. "What does she say?" I asked Bamalin gum. "She knows that the Swami is to drink blood, and she is asking where the blood is to come from." "Where is it?" I repeated, looking round for the usual black goat or gaudy game-' lowl, that usually loses its head on these oc casions. "It is there," replied Bamalingum signifi cantly. I did not see it, but supposed that it was being brought. A narrow gleam of reflected light attracted my attention, and I saw a powerful man come forward out of the little group, with a drawn sword in his hand. He held it down as though he did not wish to attract attention, and his eyes were fixed on the old man. At this moment the girl caught sight of a middle-aged man and woman who were standing a short distance from her. With a sudden hysterical cry she took her hands from the idol and extended them toward the couple. They were her parents, and her growing fears culminated when she looked into their earnest, anxious faces. The scream was evidently not part of the programme, and it disconcerted the master of ceremo nies. After a moment's hesitation he appeared with a silver bowl, in which was some liquid. Stirring the mess with his forefinger he gave it to the girl and bade her drink. She looked doubtfully toward her parents, but they signed to her to obev, and she obediently swallowed it The old man then took her hands and replaced them on the idol's head, holding them there for the space of a full minute. The girl fixed her eyes upon his face, and the beautiful orbs grew dreamy and calm under his gaze, till all fear of resistance to his will faded, leaving her in a trance-like condition, and as wax in bis hands. Satisfied that she would not disturb the harmony of the proceedings again, he took the silver bowl from which she had drunk the soothing potion and dipped it in the stream. He signed to the man with sword to ad vance. Good heavens! They were going to sacri fice the girl herself! The horrible thought flashed like lightning through my brain. Here, in a country under a Christian Gov ernment, a beautiful woman was about to be barbarously murdered in cold blood for the sake of the people's hideous superstitions! The Collector, the representative of her Im perial Majesty the Empress oC India, was within reach, too, almost within earshot The thought grew to conviction, and I was abont to sprine from my seat under the temple wall, when I felt my arm gripped by fingers of iron, and I was lorcibly held mo tionless. Unable to withdraw my horror-stricken eyes from the group in lront of me, I watched the old man dip his fingers in the water and dash a few drops in the girl's up turned face. At the same moment the other man raised the naked curved blade. The girl made no sign at the sparkling of the water. She did not appear to feel it at all. . Again the man dipped his, hand and splashed her face. Still no result, and a murmur of disappointment ran through the crowd. The third time he scooped the water in his palm, and, calling loudly on the name ot "Swami!" he flung the water with con siderable force upon the lovely wide-open brown eves. Like one roused from a trance, she shook her head, as though to free herself from the drops that trickled down her fair cheeks. At the moment when she made the move ment the sword was swung once, twice, thrice, above her head, gathering force with each swing. In its third circle through the air it severed the slender neck in two. The head rolled forward, while her body fell against the hideous image, that seemed to grin in stony delight at the horrible orgie. The lile blood gushed out over it, dyeing the idol crimson; and, in my fevered imagi nation, the devilish thing of stone appeared to drink the red human wine. A long exulting cry arose from the people, and it increased to a fiendish howl ol ' mad ness, as the temple man lifted the beauti ful head and held it aloft for the crowd to Then he cast it into the water as a tribute to the flood. With a tremendous effort I free'd myself from the grasp of the unseen being and sprang to my leet, shrieking. Somebody stepped in front of me; it was old Bamaling um, the peon. "Did missus call?" he asked, in a mild and gentlj voice of wonder. "Yes! help! help! Where is that wicked old templeman and the man with the sword? Catch them both, and hold them till the Collector comes," I cried, in the greatest agitation. "What man? what sword?" said Bamal ingum. I looked around. Not a soul bnt our two selves were in sight. The crowd was gone. The murdered girl was gone. The idol was gone; and the temple door was shut The torches and cressets were extinguished, and the moon was once more darkened by the vapor I had observed earlier in the evening. -No one is here. No one has been here since missus came," said the peon soothing ly; missus been sleeping, I think." "I have not been asleep. I saw it all. Horrible! horrible I" I said, shuddering. A whistle sounded in the distance. It was Colonel Brevis announcing his return with the others. "There! master coming! Now missus can ask about the people. I think missus dreaming only." I was too angry too reply, and waited in silence for their approach. I was certain that I had not slept, nor could I have dreamt such a dream as that, with all its vividness and detail. The few minutes that elapsed before they came up gave me time to calm mvself and quiet down my nerves. What had I seen? Ir it was trne, the dreadful signs would still be there. The crowd might vanish, and the idol be re turned to it pedestal, but it would be im possible to remove the blood. I stepped down to the spot The stone was perfectly dry. Not a vestige of water still lets blood was to be seen. 8 When Mrs. Savile came up she said: "I am so sorry we have been such a time. After seeing the sluices we came back to the river bank and sat under a tree, over there." She pointed to a large banyan in full view of the temple. "Did you see any natives moving about?" I asked. "Not a soul. They are wise people; they go to roost with the sun and get up with the sun." "Ton did not see natives walking on the sand, over there?" I said, indicating the spit of land. "Certainly not Had there been any we must have seen them, for this stream goes back to the river bank, and forms a pro montory. They must ha.ve passed close to us to get here, or else they must have waded across the water. Have you been disturbed at all since we left?" asked Mrs. Savile, looking curiously into my face. "I thought I saw people over there, at the water's edge," I replied, unwilling to say what I had seen. "They were jackals, probably," Baid Col onel Brevis. "They come down to drink, and I remember hearing some howling in this direction while we were sitting under the tree.'" "I believe you have been asleep," said Mr. Savile. "The long day and the heat have overcome you." "Where is the old keeper or the temple?" I asked the peon. He looked at me' with stupid ignorance, as though he did not understand. Colonel Brevis replied to my query: "The old man who has charge of the tem ple always sleeps in a little alcove behind. Come this way and I will show von." He led me round to the other side and showed me the old villain, rolled in his blanket, apparently fast asleep. "He goes to bed at dusk and rises with the dawn. Nothing would wake him now, for I believe he eats opium. "We might beat him and kick him to a jelly and he would sleep through it all," said the Colo nel." "He cannot be asleep. He was with me only a few minutes ago," I said incredu lously. Colonel Bevis called the peon. "Bamalingum, has this old fellow been with you and the lady?" "No, sah'b," was the ready reply. Colonel Brevis smiled. I was so angry at the deliberate lie, and at Colonel Brevis' evident belief in the peon's word before mine, that I turned aside without another syllable. Once more searching the land scape on all sides in vain for some of the crowd I had so recently seen, I followed the party home to the bungalow. It was past 11 when we got in, and as we intended starting early on our homeward journey, we went to bed at once. All night I was haunted by what I had seen. The scenes reacted themselves in my brain over and over again. Thus between waking and sleeping I passed a most wretched night Gradually my nerves quieted down, and I could think quietly over it There was only one conclusion that seemed to me at all satisfactory. The old temple man, wishing, for reasons of his own, to keep me there, had managed by some art known to himself, to lift the curtain of the past Perhaps he bnrnt some other drug be side the incense, and so clouded my bodily sightwhile it sharpened my mental vision, and made me receptive of bygone scenes which were mirrored on his own brain. Per haps I pnrsued the workings of his uncivil ized, heathen mind, and followed, with my eye, the pictured wishes ot his evil, super stitious heart Of one thing I was certain, that had he no fear of the Sircar, and were he able to carry out the desire of his secret soul, he wonld organize just such an orgie as I had witnessed; and his choice of victim would, as likely as not, fall upon me, with tne mole-marked Hand, to assuage the terri ble thirst of his fetish, the river god. London Society. WELLS OS THE E1TEIJ. BANK. Contractor Harrli Han Received Contracts to Bnlld a Number of Them. Now that the Lucy furnace well, which was sunk at the river bank about four months ago, has been pronounced a success, a number of leading manufacturers around Pittsburg are going to sink similar ones. The Lucy furnace well has been in opera tion six weeks, and works more successfully than was anticipated. Mr. Samml Harris, contractor, who first planned the river well, said yesterday: "There are about six wells to be put down for the various mills in the city. I will sign a contract in a short time with Singer, Nimick & Co. to sink them a well. Had the river been in good shape we wonld have been at work beiore this. If the river is not low we cannot work. "The wells will be about 15 feet in diam eter and 28 feet deep, so that we can get the pure spring water. While we sink we are obliged to build a brick casing. We set the brick from the top and then go down. The well that will be sunk at Singer, Nim ick & Co.'s is to yield 6,000,000 gallons per day. Besides tbfs one, we will sink wells at Homestead, Carnegie, Phipps & Co.'s upper 'and lower Union mills, Miller, Met calf & Parkin, Bear Creek Oil Refinery, Black Diamond Steel Works and the Car bon Iron Works. "The wells are costly things to sink, but if they are once down they save time and trou ble. Each of the mills who wants these wells are obliged to build iuimeuse receivers to bold the water. The receiver at the Lucy furnace, which has jnst been completed, cost $15,000. It is built of tuickiron plates, stands 67 feet high and is 50 feet in diame ter. Every 12 hours upward of 6,000,000 gallons of well water passes through it JBrom the receiver miles of pipe distribute it through the mill."

The Trouble on the Pittsburg Traction Company's Line. MR. KURTZ INTERVIEWED. The all-absorbing topic in street railway circles at the present time is the strike of thegripmen on the Pittsburg Traction Com pany's line. Both sides are equally confi dent of aaccess. So far the Citizens' line has not been involved in the trouble. While riding on a car of the Bntler street branch of the latter road the writer had the follow ing conversation with Mr. Harry Kurtz, of S415 Charlotte street, who was in charge of the car at the time : "Two years ago I caught a cold. I paid no particular attention to it, and it soon be came worse. My head was stopped up. My nose wonld become clogged, first on one side and then on the other. There was a constant, dull, heavy pain in my forehead. My eyes were inflamed, and at times so weak that I could not see to read. There were ringing and buzzing noises in my ears, and after a short while I became quite deaf. "I tried several physicians, but could ob tain np relief. Indeed, I grew worse rapid ly. The trouble extended to my chest and throat Sharn pains, stabbing like a knife. would shoot through my chest, extending often as far as the shoulder-blades. My throat and the root of my tongne were very sore, and it was extremely difficult for me to swallow any solid food. "Gradually my whole system became af fected. I could not sleep at nights, and would arise in the morning tired and unfit for work. I had a dry, hacking cough that annoyed me terribly. Mr. Barry Kurtz, SUS Charlotte tlreet. "Night sweats set in and weakened me terribly. My heart would palpitate rapidly, and would then beat slowly. This would be followed by a weak, faint feeling. If I would stoop over and raise up suddenly I would become dizzy, and black spots appear before my eyes. I had no appetite. The very sight of food nauseated me. "One day I read in a paper of a gentle man who had been treated and cured ot a trouble similar to my own by Drs. Copeland & Blair. I called at their office and was examined by them. They did not make any great promises, but I felt that they un derstood my case, and placed myself under their care. "In a short.tlme I noticed an improve ment in my condition. My head and nose were no longer stopped up. The improve ment soon became general, and to-day I feel as well as I ever did. My throat is no lonzer sore, I sleep well and arise refreshed and able to do a good day's work, I have a good appetite and tbe pains in my chest and head have disappeared. To be brief, all tbe symp toms I suffered from have left me, and I owe my recovery to Drs. Copeland A Blair." ' Mr. Kurtz lives, as stated, 3415 Charlotte street (Lawrenceville), and this interview can be easily verified. MR. BARNES' STORY. Statement From a Well-Known Gentleman of Hickman, Pa. The statement given below is from one of the patients residing ont of tbe city wbo was treated from the office of Drs. Copeland fc Blair. The gentleman in question is Sir. Will iam Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., a thriving town on tbe Pittsbug, Chartlers and Yougbiogheny Railroad, abont 15 miles out from Pittsburg. Daring a recent conversation with tbe writer, he said: "Five years ago my trouble first made its app jarance. and it continued to crow stead ily worse until I was at last in a very serious condition. My head and nose were first stopped up, and there was a dropping from my head to my throat. I would get up in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed the night before. I could eat but little, and what I did eat laid like a heavy load on my stomach. "At last tbe trouble extended to my chest There would be sharp pains stabbing like a knife right over my heart My lungs became affected and I had a dry, hacking cough. I grew weaker and weaker and was unable to do any work. I lost all sense of taste and smell. I was aavised to go to England. I went there, and spent a great deal of money, but derived no benefit I became disheartened and honest ly believed my trouble would soon cause my death. "1 was advised while in this condition to try Drs. Copeland & Blair. I had read of the great good they were doing, so determined to see them. "Tbe resnlt has been a great surprise to me. I Improved rapidly from tbe very first. I soon regained my sense of smell and taste. I bavo no more trouble with my heart or pains In ray chest, lean eat well and feel refreshed by my sleep. I can work all day and feel good at night In fact, 1 am perfectly well. I owe my recovery to Drs. Copeland & Blair, and shall be glad to speak with anyone about my case." Result of Home Treatment. Borne time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hulton, Allegheny county. Pa., commenced a course or home treatment for bis catarrhal trouble, un der tbe care of Drs. Copeland &. Blair. At that time bis trouble bad assumed a very aggravated form. He stated to the writer as follows: "My nostrils wonld clog up. My head ached constantly. I had sovere pains in my chest. There was a dropping of mucus from my bead to my throat. I bad night sweats. My heart wonld palpitate rapidlv.tand be followed by a slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintuess. I was dally growing weaker. The slightest ex ertion tired me and I was nufit for work." How do you feci nowf" "Like another being. AH the symptoms I have described to ou have disappeared, and I feel as well as I ever did in my lite." Last May Miss Lottio J. Forker, of 299 Arch street, Meadvillc, Pa., placed herself under treatment by mail witli Drs. Copeland & Blair for her catarrhal trouble. On Juno 9 she wrote: "Your medicine is doing me good. I do not feel so tired, and my headaches have ceased." August 26 her letter stated: "I feel quite like a different woman from tbe one I was when 1 commenced your treatment." Mr; M. V. Wilson, wbo commenced nsing tbe home treatment early in July, wrote on the 25tb of the same month: "I am improving steadily; feel much better than I have for years past" August 16 he wrote: "I am feeling Iiko a differ ent being from the one 1 was when I com menced yonr treatment and am glad to be able to make this statement" DOCTORS AND&BLAIR Are located permanently at 66 SIXTH AVE., Where they treat with success all curable cases.
