JF3KK1 10 THE HTTSBURG DISPATCH, SATURDAY. ' JAKTJART 10, . 189L U'WWV"? fe P I he would occasionally make & single letter, and that letter was li He would then join the top and make an R of it, for fear some one might see it Not long after this he was Invited by Uncle Sol to visit his country residence, and as it was in tbe season ol golden fruit and yellow leaves, he accepted. He remained over night, and in the evening he had what he called the honor of playing checkers with the best lady player in the Common wealth. But, some how," his attention would VMi.der from the game to his tair opponent, and such moves as 11-15, 22-18, 8-11 were of Irtqnent occurence. Forest returned to Boston more than ever pleased villi Kite's charming manner, and modest, putertainintr wsvf. a The spacious Elhvood mansion was brightly illuminated. The pas jets threw their rays cut upon the pure white snow, and the goigeous lirawinjr room was filled with a nierrv throng. It was the occasion of Kate's 2l"t birthday, and a few lriends bad been iuvited by Kate and her father, the letter's invitations being directed to his ouii iriends, those whom he knew could tell a losing move when he saw it; while those of Kate' inviting consisted of her old school mite. and, of cnu"e. Hinder Eveleth was counted as one of them. .Mr. Hiukley Eveiein had established a good practice, aud was now looked upon as a rising young lawyer, as Indeed he was. Whatever had been said.of him at college, it was evident he had "sown his wild oats," for his deportment since his admission to the bar had been most exemplary. "When they left the piano and leisurely promenaded through tbe rooms they were pronounced by all tbe best-looking couple in the assembly. Kate, with her tall and well-developed form and graceful move ments, Hinkley, tall and straight, with his hqir brushed carelessly back from an'mtel lectual forehead, won the admiration of each beholder. At the extreme southern portion of the house was the conservatory, and into which we shall follow Hinkley and his partner lor just a moment. ".My dear Kate," he began but all lovers begin that self-same way, and what right have we to listen to what they intended to be strictly confidential? He knew too well how to plead a cause, even in love, and she listened and nervously picked the shell-like petals of a wax begonia, and the broken blossoms fell at her leeL liut where was Forest "Worthington? He had received a most cordial invitation from both Kate and her father, and intended to have enme, but a sudden illness of his sis ter had kept him away. "When Kate and Hinkley returned from the conservatory Hiukley looked smiling and confident, but Kate's countenance wore a sad expression. Tney found the company engaged in various smusenieuts. Major Domiuo, a white hail ed veteran ot tbe late war, was seated at one table surrounded by a half dozen middle-aged ladies, whom he seemed to please very much by his witty sallies. Those who wished to relieve the monotony of call ing him Major Domino, called him Domino Major. He was an expert at dominos. The nit and repartee of the talkative Major furnished abundant amusement for several elderly ladies, whose power of intellect was only equalled by the depth of the game. Then there was Jndge Eveleth deeply im mersed in the wonderful mysteries of a game of chess with his friend Dr. Appleton. All games void o; chance met the tavor of Solomon Elhvood; a card had never been seen in his house. Kite devoted herself to the entertainment ol her numerous friends, aud Uncle Sol brought lorth his beautiful draucht board, and hali jestingly threw out a sort of general challenge. As no one accepted, he said to Hinkley, "Suppose vou play one side'" Hinkley Eveleth was no sooner seated than every available pljce around the players was oc lupied, showing conclusively which game lud the greatest number of adherents and admirers. Alter playing five games, three of which were won by Hinkley aud two resulted in draws, the old gentlemau complained of aheadachc and gave up his seat to Dr. Mor rison, the village physician, who was un able to secure even a draw. Uncle Sol knew that Hinkley had been devoting much time of late to the study of draughts, but was surprised at his pro ficiency. The young lawyer won with modesty, and w.is about to retire when a young lady, who had been watchinc the games with unusual interest, said: Please, Mr. Eveleth, will .you pUv one more game?" "AVith whom?" inquired Hinkley. "With a person. whom I will select." "I shall be very pleased to do so," he answered. The young lady retired for a moment to the music room and soon returned leading by the hand Kite EUwood. "Here, Mr. Eveleth, is my choice." But Kate, when she discovered what was wanted of her, begged to be excused, saying she could not play before company. But all insisted, both young and old, and at last alter receiving an approving nod from her father, she reluctantly seated herself, and choosing the black men made the inceptive move 11 to 15. Hinkley formed the "cross," aud thus the game proceeded: 31-U S7-.3 0-13 14- 7 J9-23 6e 53-13 S-H a-a 3-10 18-15 3-C7 8-n ib-'j :-6 a-a ig-w s-ii I6-a 5-14 3-13 10-14 35-10 50-19 4 - I 3-18 10-15 r-:id 3-a lu-H si-a. n;j iaio io nib 10 6 19-air 35-19 -SS-iZ C--1S 31-17 S6-311- JUacfc 14-15 8-11 11-17 1I-1C o-1 wins. 30-IM X -18 I- 6 S-1S 3t-i sj-ii, 7-iobt 17-ne 14-a ie Ii-33 IS- j B-lJ g-ls J J9;s (a.) Kate made this move without a moment's hesitation. -.(b.) Hiukley be;ran to feel a little nerrons, for lie v.is wholly unable to determine what this strange same would lead to.

"That position Is inci liable." said Kinkier, looking up at Kale and forcing a snille: "I checrl folly concede the came to ou." Ail congratulated Kate on hpr play, and TJncle Sol threw back his shoulders, strided "back and forth, seeminglv proud of his daughter's achievement. He was the hap piest man in the room. Hiukley received his hrst de eat of the eveninir with perfect sang froid, aud the company dispersed Two months after the birthday partv TJucle Sol was seated in his private room enveloped in a cloud ot smoke. During his . entire manhood he had been an inveterate smoker, and many were the fortunates pecu lations which had conduced to replenish the firm's exchequer which had been conceived partly by means or the piDe. But Solomon EUwood now wrestled with! a problem of more importance to him, because of import ance to his child, than that of any stock nrloreign speculation. And that problem wis as to who should be his son-in-law. Hinkley Eveleth had pleaded nis cause with such earnestness that Kate knew not how to answer, and in a thoushtlcss mo ment had hinted that her father's wishes were to be considered; and Hinkley, in his impetuosity, mistook this to be it permit to sk her father's consent, which he did. He intornied the old centleman that, although Kate had not in so many words promised to be his wife, yet he had reason to believe that one word from him would settle the matter, and make him the happiest of mor t.l. Uncle Sol liked Hinkley. He had been spoken of as a possible candidate for the next State Lezislature, had a good income, and would, in his estimation, make Kate a t"od husband; so he promised to influence Kate, ir she should need influencing in his behal But what'was his surprise one morning when upon entering his office in Boston, to have his bookkeeper close the office door and then in a respectful way declare his passion for his beautiful Kate, and ask his consent to their nuptials. He was taken completely by surprise, and his surprise was augmented when upon consulting his daughter that morning to observe a blush upon" her cheek when he mentioned the name of Forest Worthington. He had giren his promise to Hinkley in good faith to intercede for him. A promise was a sacred matter with him; and how to extri cate himself from the dilemma in, which be found himself, was the cause, the result of the smoke aforementioned. "Forest is a fine young man," mused the merchant "Poor, but what ot that? ambi tious ana honest. But, consarn itl there is my promise," and he struck at the smoke furiously, as though it were an enemy, and 1 began to pace tbe floor. Suddenly he stopped as though struck by an original idea, and, putting his fiucer to his nose and squinting one eye, he looked straight at the ceiling for lull half a minute. "By Jupiterl and the rest of the great planets, why not?" and he rushed out into the conservatory where he knew he should find Kate, still ejaculating "Why not?" "Kate, my dear," said hej "did you ever read of the knights ot old who won their lady loves by some feat of horsemanship, or other wonderful athletic skill?" 'Oh, yes!" said Kate, "I have often read of such Instances, and often imagined," she continued laughing, "how exceedingly ro mantic and delightful it would be were I to be won in just such a way." "I take you at your word," said her father. "Tour answer, though spoken in jest, shall relieve me from my embarass inent." "Whit cau you mean?" asked Kate, seri ously. "Would you object to being won by mental instead of physical skill?" asked her father. A light broke upon Kate's mind, and she trembled. She had beaten Hinkley once, but she had never beateu Forest, was her first thought. She turned to he- father, and placing ber band in his, said:. "You have my youthful promise.' I have never had cause to doubt vour wisdom." That evening Hinkley Eveleth and Forest, woriuingion Dow received the lollowiug note: Ellwood M ajtsiox, April 10, 1870. Sin You know who your rival for my daugh ter's band is. You also know the position In which I am placed in relation to yon both. My eccentricities and foibles aro well known to you. I have arranged for a friendly match of my favorite came, tbe result ot whicn shall settle the matter as to who shall be tbe success ful snltor ror my daughter's hand. Will you accept the conditions; SoLouoi- Eliwood. The first return mail brought back these an swers: X accept your conditions. Forest Woethinotox. Let the match be arranceri. 1 accept. Hikkxey Eyelet ir. Each now began to prepare lor the com ing struggle. They were visitors upon an equal looting at the Eilwood Mansion, and each learned-by more familiar acquaintance that the other, "though a rival, was to be es teemed and respected as a gentleman. A portion of each day was set apart for the stndy of checkers, aud every available work, however ancient, was utilized. Occasional visits were made by each to Hew York, Chicago, Philadelphia or Portland, for the secret purpose of consulting Yates, Heffuer, Freeman, Heed and Broughton. The pupil list of the Barker Brothers was increased by two, and tbey took their instruction at their resDective hotels. October 15 was the day upon which the great match was to be contested, aud like all past dates, came, it came at last. Kate's lady friends declared it was jnst '.'charm ing," and that tbey would be won in just such a way. At precisely 2 r. M. the folding doors of the parlor were swung wide open iu order to accommodate the invited guests. A referee having been chosen, the two young men, though showing slight symptoms of nervousness, seated themselves "for the first time in their lives ou opposite sides oi a checker board. The referee then said: "Gentlemen, you will play strictlv in accordance with Ander son's rules. Tbe match will terminate when one party has won three games. Ko player shall play the same openinc twice until all the possible openings have been played. Do you agree?" Both bowed. Forest chose the black men and played 12-1G, and each clung carefully to the trunk, aud a draw was entered. Game Ho. 2 was the "Fife" and forcing his opponent into a new-variation, Hinkley won by an ending that surprised even Uncle Sol, and blanched the cheeks ot Kate. It was now setting interesting, and all eyes were turned upon Forest to note tbe manner in which he took his defeat. A slight pale ness was all that was noticeable. It was now his turn to play the black men, and he moved 11-15, Hiukley at once replied with 11-1 15-18 21 IS 27 23 a)-18 1413 2i-i? m-zz iz-n 2)-i 8-n ii-ia 9-13 18-S 31-31 18-14 IS 7 3-J-23 23-;t 55-23 25-S9 IS-iS 1- 6 SJ-S) 811 10-15 32-28 23-18 10 1 18-23 17-14 24-19 4-8 7-11 3-10 29-25 10-17 15-23 23-24 14-1(1 1 0 22-29 21-11 1S-21 27 29--J5 10-14 Drawn. 0-1U 11-15 3-18 20-23 C-1U 22-17 19-10 29-25 2529 14-18 13-23 5-9 21-.01 18-15 10-14 Ii-17 11-5 25-29 11-25 Ja-ij We pass this game without comment: the originality and soundness as well a the skill of both contestants will be apparent to all checker players. The next three games resulted in draws, but iu the seventh Forest played 9-13, and at its conclusion another win was entered to the credit of the young lawyer. The suc ceeding four games were carefully plaved and were all drawn. Tien, as if playing by inspiration. Forest, by wonderful strat egy and beautiful combinations,which called forth the applause of all beholders, won the tuei.th and thirteenth games, and the ref eree announced a recess until 8 o'clock. Supper for all was served in the large dining room, alter -which several collected around the board and proceeded to analyze the last ending, which for pure originality and genius had never, iu their estimation, been equaled. Again the contestants faced each other lor the final trial. Forest looked smiling aud Hinkley looked determined. Three more draws were scored, and it was evident that each was plaving with the utmost care and skill. Kate, though slightly pale, was a constant observer of each game, and now took a po sition in the rear of Hiukley's seat Forest, glancing up, observed her eyes fixed on him with a peculiar meaning. She pursed her lips and formed some word which commenced with a B, and Forest dropped his eves ou the men which were set for the seventeenth game and played 1116. It theu occurred to the observers that he had not before played the Bristol opening. Each move was de liberately made, aud this is the game: It IS I 10-14 al 7-M 19-23 23-28 6-3O0 24-211' 18-15 20-16 31-27 30-23 Ulack ' 10-19 U-18 8-12 10-19 2-7d win. 23-IG 21-17 IG-llb 27-24C 11-2 12-19 9-13 18-23 1216 4-8 22 IS 26-23 318 21-15 2-9 XOTES. A-HlnUeT started back at this move, which seemed unexpected to blm. Once more Forest raised his eres to Kate, and Imagined he detected the slightest Inclination or her bead, which cave him additional courage. B-The audience was held spellbound. and at the next move started as though a mistake bad been committed. C "Are you 111. Kate?" suddenly Inquired TJncle bol, sprlnrtnjr forward and supporting Ills, tlaua-hter. Kor Kate had falnf-d the moment Hiukley's finter had tbo man on 27. She was car ried to an adjoining? room, butsoou revlrcd suffi ciently to return to the room, her eyes cllstcnluir with an unnatural luster and her checks burning with an uncommon scarlet. 11 '-l'lesse, will some one ulve me a drink or watcrr" said Hinkley faintly. E-lllnklev looked at the Doard fall lire min utes, and then after the referee nad called lime!" he continued to caze at the pieces like ono entranced. 'oar minute Is up, ilr. Eve leth." tald the referee, "aud by the rule Mr Worthlniton wins." yes," said lllnkley abstractedly, "he wins br bavins one man tbe less." w m m w New Year's morning, 1877, the sun rose brightly, and kissed tbe sparkling diamonds that hung pendant from every tree and bush. Kate Ellwood's bridesmaids were busily preparing her for the coming eveut Forest Worthington, tall, graceful aud man ly, dressed in a neat-fitting suit of broad cloth, stood gazing out upon the beautiful splendor of a New Year's morning. The minister was there, and when all was in readiness Forest took the hand of the blush ing and happy ICat( and tbe marriage cere mony made them husband and wife. The first one to present his congratula tious was Hinkley Eveleth, -and this he did iu such a sincere and courteous manner as to leave no doubt of his sincerity. And the graceful and fascinating Laurwas next to wish her dear brother and new-found sister all sorts of good fortune. Hinkley then requested ot Forest a mo ment's privacy, and they stepped into the recess of a bay window. Hinkley whispered something into Forest's ear. Forest started, and said: "But, my dear fellow, you have not known her more "than three months." "I have known ber long enough to know she is the dearest girl in the world," and again the minister louud himself repeating "Do you take, etc.," and this time his in terrogatories were directed to Hinkley Eveleth and Laura Worthington, who were next to receive the congratulations ot their friends. And now, kind checker readers, who have followed ns through this hastily written story, just one more scene. Time, 12 months later. Dr. Morrison descends the stairs beaming with smiles and says to Forest, who is nervously pacing the floor, you can go upf it's a boy!" Forest clears the stairs four at a time, and while he is looking at the baby, we will drop the curtain and write THE X2fD. CAPTURING A GHOST, FIVE HEN KETECirjALLY EA1D AH AL. LEGED HATCHED HOUSE; Sportive 1'ouths Take Tarns at Blood-Curdling Spiritual Manifestations, Holding a Community in Abject Terror One of the Number Entrapped By Ghost Skeptics. Bloominqtok, Ili.., Jan. 9. For the Dast week there has been great excitement in the town of Boynton, Tazewell county. The place consists of a postoffice, a store and a blacksmith shop A large frame house, Rtanding about a quarter of 'a mile from town, which is used as.a granary, has been haunted for over a week. At about 7 o'clock iu the evening various colored lights would float in the window and awful noises and groans were to be heard. The com munity was terribly excited and nearly everyone was afraid to ventnre near the house after dark. ItVas examined' in the daytime and nothing could be discovered. People came for miles to see the exhibition, aud lame crowd"! gathered there every night. Last Tuesday five young men of Hoped ale determined to" capture the spook. They were D. S. McQueen. Joe Naeflziger, W. P. Sands, William Waldon and Charles Sands. Accordingly, they went to the place just alter dark and examined the ground very carefully. The lower doors aud windows were found boarded up. They quietly with drew and awaited developments. Some time before 7 o'clock they observed six persons approaching the house, ami iu a short time five went away. In the course of a few min utes the panorama began. Immediately the men from Hopedale ran to the house and discharged their revolvers and called for the phantom, or whatever it was,, to appear. Immediately alter the shots the- lights went out and the noises ceased. The live men then demanded that the door be opened, and threatened that they,would shoot tbe first penon they saw coming from the building. A few of the boards were knocked ofi and two of the men entered with dark lanterns and revolvers in their hands, while the others guarded tbe bouse to see that no one left it. Their lanternj were flashed about the room aud they soon found a young man of Boynton, by the name of Walter Cod dington, standing in a bin of oats that was in the room. He was nearly scared to death, and in a tremulous voice exclaimed, "Don't shoot, boys, it is me." He after ward said there were others iu the gang, but it happened to be his night to perform. Thu lights were produced with stage powder and the noise was made by rattling chains and groaning by the performer. The ashes of the powder were found, as also were the chains. Tlfe children of thev community were scared so badly that they would not attend school, which is near tbe spot of excitement. The men from Hopedale' returned home very well satisfied at having accomplished what they went to do; that is, to capture the ghost.

A meeting of the Utah Ore Producers' Association was held for the purpose of electing delegates to the Lead Producers' Convention, to be held in Denver on the13th inst. Kepresentatives of tbe leading mining districts of the Ter ritory were present, and W. F. James, L. E. Holdcn, B. Mackintosh, J. Q. Packard, W. W. Chisholm, W. G. Van Home and F. W. Billings were chosen to represent Utah in the convention named. A committee was appointed to draft reso lutions favoring free coinage and protection from Mexican lead, to be lorwarded to the National Silver Committee at Washington. The attitude ot the smelters' .trusts on the proposition was discussed and several of tbe leading mine operators favored the plau of combining to regulate the ore output as being most likely to bring the smelting companies to tiiie in their unreasonable gradjngs and prices on ore purchased. Im mediate steps will be taken, to bring tbe sub ject to tbe attention of miuers in adjoining States and Territories. SNUBBED BY TILLMAN. Phosphate Men Get a Chilly Reception From" the Governor. Chableston, S. C, JanO. Charleston people' are now convinced, if they ever donbted it before, that when the people of South Carolina twent to the woods to find a Governor, they got a wild and woolly one. A 'special committee of prominent and wealthy phosphate men, of this city, went to Columbia yesterday by appointment to meet Governor Tillman. Their objedt was to obtain some accommo dation witli regard to new inspection tags ou bagged goods for shipment The new tags are not ready, and a coiigcstiou of busi nesses threatened unless some arrangements can be made. Governor TiJImau met the committee in his office and in the presence of members of bis Cabinet. He greeted tbe members of the committee stiffly, without removing his hat from his head, and shook hands as thoirgh with a broken arm. The spokesman of the committee began to ex plaiu the cause of their visit, but was inter rupted by Governor Tillman, who refused to hear him through.

' , PASTOR AND PEOPLE Evidences of Christian Union Senti ments in Churches. PEATBENITY AMOKG CHRISTIANS. The Signs of the Times Point to a Union of ill Protestants. GLEANINGS FKOH CHURCH FIELDS The evidences of growing charity and liberality in the Various denominations of the Christian Church are apparent on every hand. Last Sunday two new churches were dedicated in this vicinity, a United Presby terian Church at Wilkinsburg and a Dis ciple Church at Hansfield. At both dedi catory services all the neighboring Protest ant ministers participated, adjourning their regular services to take part These are signs of the times and point to a good time coming when there will be one fold as there is one Shepherd. When ministers of different denominations can come together and worship together on special occasions why can they not come to gether in one great church and move shoul der to shoulder under the one leader against the one enemy. The time was not far back when churches argued intensely about their differences. Now there is a' disposition, growing year by year, to look at the points of agreement more than at the points of divergence. The Protestant sects grew in the main out of controversy.' Leaders who became dissatisfied with methods and views of the churches seceded, and started out ou reform and secession ideas. Hence the eudless divisions of Protestantism, which are its great weakness to-day. The drift is now toward union and not division, as it was in former days. It may be an over sanguine hope that there will be one Christian church in the nar future, but certain it is that the signs of the times point in that direction.

J OHM JAU&, Supt. THE MOVABLE DAM. Continued from Mnth Page. is due 'partly to the reservoir influence of the channel above the tributary, partly to the damming effect of conflicting currents near the month of the tributary, and partly, as at the mouth of Bed river, in the flood of 1851, to interference with normal changes in local slope at points below tbe tributary. The observed fact accords per ectly with the views of planters residing upon the .Missis sippi below Arkansas and Bed rivers, who have frequently stated that tbey dread the rise of these streams far more than those of the Ohio or of the Missouri." ' Quotations from eminent bydraulicians might be multiplied on this point; but these from the foremost American work on the subject are sufficient to show the opinion of eminent engineers, and to illustrate most forcibly the reservoir efiectof the channels in equalizing floods, as demonstrated by ac tual measurements. Ls, as shown by the nbove quotations, 650 square miles of channel have h reservoir ei fect modifying by 400,000 cubic feet per sec ond, or by 25 per cent the greatest known flood discharge, convert the lower part of the river into a simple drain ironi a lake, aud all this moreover when unimproved, un angmented and undirected by the art and wisdou ol man; the question may well be assert, wnat results will follow extending this action to tens of thousands of square miles of river channels, augmenting and controlling the reservoir action, and operat ing it with tbe wisdom gained by wide intel ligence and long experience? Verily, tHe results cannot be questioned The floods will be contiolled, overflows and destruc tion will cease, the bottom lands will be thoroughly drained, densely peopled and healthy; and the Mississippi and its tribu taries will constitute a most far-reaching and serviceable system ol navigable water ways, free to all the people. A GRAVE ROBBED. But for the Timely Interference of Physicians, the Result Would Have Been Certain. Singular Experience of Mr. Frank Miller, of This City.. What Is more terrible than the thought of being burled alive or being confined to a living death by the affliction of disrasef And yet it is necessary to state that we do not value the fortune of good health. How many men have said "ray thousands for an hour of life." xe: it can be obtained for such a trifle if tbe oppor tunity is grasped in time. Bo not wait until your disease has reached such a stage that this bright world appears to you as a living trouble, and if you could only die and end your terrible suffering you would be content. Tako ad vantage of tbe advancement made in tbe pres ent century in tbe practice of medicine and be cured of the terrible feeling you now have. To make our views plainer let us state the con dition of a resident of our city after being a silent sufferer for six years. Mr. Fank Hitler, !3 J-tenie Street. Mr. Frank Miller, who lives at No. 28 Picnic street, Tittsbnrg, in a recent interview with the writer, said: "For over six years I suffered the horrors of chronic catarrh. My entire system became undermined by the disease, every portion of my body seemed effected. 1 had all the symptoms as yon have read tbem. and In their wotst form. 1 used a creat number of so called snre-cures' and sought the. advice and aid of doctor after doctor, but none could help me. Indeed. I grew gradually worse all tbe time, in spite of all that could be done. I was completely discouraged, and felt that the disease would surely tako me to my grave. I was in this condition when I was induced to consult Drs. Copeland A Blair. Although 1 had no hope that they would help me. I did 60 because I felt that tbey thoroughly understood my case and their charges being so very reason able. I decided to give them a trial. "It was tbe best resolution 1 ever made." concludes Mr. Miller, "for they have cured me. 1 began to Improve Ironi the starr, and my symptoms rapldly.dlsappcared under splendid care." DBS.
