ICOrTElGHT. 1591, EY THEIfBf TORKASSOCIATED
TEESS,;
London, Aug. 14. If Mr. Balfour had
not obtained'the assent of the leading mem
bers of tho Cabinet to his Irish local gov
ernment bill before announcing it, a rupture
in the Government and a split in the party
would have been inevitable The draft of
tho bill has never been before a regularly
constituted Cabinet council. A committee
of the Cabinet, consisting of Sir. Balfour.
Mr. Goschen, Lord Ashbourne and Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach, I13S for 18 months
been working on the bill. In its final shape,
in which it was referred to and was approved
by Lord Salisbury, it remains unknown,
further than what has been said in recent
public utterances, to the rest of the Minis
ters. Apart from objections totheprinciples
of the measure, this ignoring of 'Conserva
tive chiefs closely in touch with the rank
and file of the party, has added to the
general discontent. 2To Unionist section
will e cr thoroughly iodte Mr. Balfour's
outlined measure.
THE PARTY IN BULK OPPOSES IT.
In the absolute business of political club
life it is difiicult to reflect with exactitude
hon far Conservative members will go in
opposition to Mr. Balfour's policy, but
judging from the temper revealed by men in
town, including holiday-belated officials, the
partv in bulk will not accept the bill. Gen
eral newspaper criticism asserting the ac
ceptance of the measure by the "Liberal -ITnionUts,
is a distortion of the truth.
The Spectator, the leading Unionist organ,
in its issue to-morrow will put the position
of the Liberal-Unionists straight in de
nouncing the bill as a home rule measure in
dhiui'-e. The Xatwnal Obicrvcr, now attain
ing the fr.ii rank as weekly exponent of
Tory opicio.i, attacks the Ministry as be
coming a mere Liberal-Union agency, and
adds that Mr. Balfour's constructive legisla
tion will conduce as little to the party's
credit as to the national advantage.
Among the ministerial groups only one,
the Go'chen-Chamberlain set, can be said
to cordially support Mr. Balfour. Strong
through force of character and intellectual
superiority as the members of this group are
they are likely to be forced eventually to
bow before Tory prejudices, and cither
present the bill emasculated to suit Con
servative ideas or withdraw it at the risk
of disaffection in the Cabinet on the eve of
the dissolution of Parliament. The genuine
Conservame feeling toward the bill is
summed up in the emphatic declaration of
the anti-Jacobins, that instead of contain
ing any promise of good it is a voluntary
and deplorable act of destruction.
ErrrrT- OF Tnn 51'jjtjtleT BILL.
The report of the Labor Department of
the Board of Trade is now watched with
keen interest. In connection with the Mc
Kinley law, the report says: "The labor
market is in a disturbed condition. The
demand has fallen off' in the ship building,
engineering, and iron and steel trades. In
spite of the shrinkage of trade in iaon and
steel, prices have remained steady. This is
iue to the fact that raw materials have re
mained hich when compared with other
periods of decreasing trade. Coal con
tinues to be maintained on a high level.
This is partly due to the good wajes paid
colliers, whose power of combining pre
vents the lowering of wages restricts the
atput, and thus maintains prices.
AMERICAN STUDl-NTS IN PARIS.
Ad-ices from Rome gi e a detailed ac
count of the sad adieutur of a party of
students from the American college there
while bathing at Porto Daimo, at the old
per outside of the palaci of iXero. The
vatcr was i cry rough at tl.e time. Lucian
Johnstone, of Baltimore; Victor Brooker,
of Tell City, Ind.- .Tames Keelv, of New
York: Joseph Gallacher and John Dufly, of
Philadelphia; John Bowen, of Chicago,"and
Henry Duesing, of St. Louis, were bathing
together.
Suddenlv they were all s ept off by the
current, but all managed to gain the "shore
except Duesing Johnstone swam out
again, caught Duesing and held him up for
five minutes. He found Duesing to have
lost his wits in his fright, and heard him
murmuring a praver. Johnstone was force 1
to let go, and a sailor who had come to his
assistance then held up Duesing, relieving
Johnsto-ie. JAs quieklv as possible the
students launched a boat and went to the
rescue, but just as they were nearing the
spot the sailor and Duosfng sank. The lat
ter was drowned, but the sailor was rescued.
Two lavs afterward the body of Duesing
was buried, the funeral being" attended bv

JsPCKGEON'S SLOW" RECOVERY.
Mr. Spurceon is able to sit up for a brief
period dailv. His friends now seriouslv
hope that he w ill be able to reoccupv his
pulpit. His weakness iB still -verv great
and his progress is necesarilv sv. The
recurrent delirium has ceased." He himself
says that the Lord's people would not let
him die; that their prajers kept him' alive.
His phy.sicians state that his disease retains
a hold that threatens to withstand everv
remedy. The best prognostication is that it
will be many months before he will be aCle
to preach.
SOME RELIGIOUS TOPICS.
Lord Coleridge, replying to a correspond
ent asking an opinion on the Bible passage,
"Swear not at all," and Christ's words,
J'Let yoar words be yea or nay." 6ays he has
no doubt of the lawfulness of oaths on special
occasions. St. James expressly savs that
they are law till God also s ears by him
(al The pui ept of our Lord is like giv
ing a cloak as well as a coat, or offering both
checks to be smitten. It is to be taken as a
i.tatementof principle, not as an order to be
obeyed literally, irrespective of circum
stances. The whole jurisprudence of Chris
tian nations for 1,5100 years has been based on
oaths.
Cardinal Manning, in a letter just made
public, denounces the employment ot lot
teries and raftles at bazaars for w orks of
charities or religion. "The Lord's work,"
he says, "ousrht to be done in the Lord's
own way. Christians must not encourage
lower motives."
THE SALISBURY-O'BRIEN CASK.
In the Salisbury-O'Brien case, an agree

O'Brien promises to pay his debt, with

STILL TREMBLING IN THE BALANCE
Are the Fates of the Nominees to the Two
World's Fair Bureaus.
Chicago, Aug. 14. Contrary to ex

Fair did not at to-night's meeting take
definite action on the nominations of Messrs.
Samuels and Peabody to be Chief, respect
ively of the Horticultural and
Liberal Arts Bureaus 'of the Ex
position. On the contrary, after
some discussion the nominations were laid
over until the next meeting. This, It was
stated, was to give further time to examine
into the fitness of the candidates. It is
understood that considerable opposition has
developed to both gentlemen, and the ulti
mate fate of the nominations is uncertain.
The directors made important changes in
the arrangement of sites for State exhibits.
The triangular plot which has been laid out
for Indiana, Michigan and Ohio is to be di
vided into sections. Indiana gets the
southern portion, Michigan the south
western portion and Ohio the north
western. This change will greatly
benefit Michigan, which wanted a
site with two fronts. Missouri and Ken
tucky's sites have been exchanged an ad
vantage for Missouri. The north tier will
be changed 60 as to give Montana, Georgia
and Idaho better sites. The grouping of all
others, with two exceptions, was confirmed,
which settles them permanently. The ex
ceptions are Iowa and South Carolina,
which are still unsettled.

TEE SCHMERTZ FAILURE.
Postponement of the Sheriff's Sale Eastern
Creditors' Bill in Equity to Be Filed
To-Day Standard Plate Glass Stock
Was All Paid Up.
The Sheriff's sale of the Schmertz
property has been adjourned for one week.
The bill in equity which has been prepared
by Attorney "W. S. Pier on behalf of cer
tain Eastern creditors who claim they are
being defrauded, will be filed. this morning,
and a hearing will be held next "Wednesday.
Mr. Pier stated yesterday that tho claims
which were represented in this bill would
aggregate alarge amount, probably f 100,000,
and that the executions issued in favor .of
Mr. Schmertz's friends and family would
Lvery likely absorb the entire a6seU and
leave these outside creditors without a cent.
Captain Brickie, one of the stockholders
in the Standard l'late tjiass company,
which is in a receiver's hands through, the
Schmertz failure, was seen yesterday. He
said he was not conversant with the details
of the affairs of th company, but he under
stood tha meeting which had been called to
consider the question of increasing the
capital Jitock would be held soon and the
capitalization increased to $1,000,000. He
said, also, that this additional stock would
all be taken by the old stockholders, as
they had every confidence in the money
making powers of-the plant. The present
capital of S750.000, he said, was all paid-up
stock.
An effort was made to see others of the
directors and stockholders, but none of
them could be found- The President,
James A. Chambers, is still confined to his
bed, but it was reported at his office that he
was expected at the latter place on Monday.
Judge Kennedy, one of the stockholders,
and the legal adviser of the company, is
absent from the city.
A county official, in speaking of Mr.
Schmertz'6 financial affairs yesterday,
reiterated that the prime cause of liis em
barrassment was an unfortunate investment
in Chartiers Gas stock, having taken a
block of it when at its best, which cost him
300,000, while to-day scarcely more than
25,000 could be realized from it.

Committee met to-night, and startling evi
dence was brought forth in connection with
the Baie des Chaleurs railway scandal.

viously refused to answer certain ques
tions, made a clean breast of it He said
that when the effort to reorganize the
company failed he set about organizing a
new syndicate, as he had heavy claims
against the road. In ITew York he held a
long conference with Premier Mercier and
other members of the Quebec Pro
vincial Government. In order to
complete the deal he had got Ernest
Pacaud. editor of VEkdear, the Quebec
Government drgan, to act as agent between
himself aud the Quebec Government An
arrangement was made by which the Gov
ernment paid him in subsidies $175,000.
The witness, realizing that half a loaf is
better than none, as ne expressed, repaid
Pacaud 5100,000. His own share was only
575,000.
This statement created a sensation. "Wit
ness said Pacaud, when the deal was on,
complained at the delay of the Quebec Gov

debts had to be liquidated. Among
the names appeared that of B. L Tarte, M. P.

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

'!THE"PITTSBTJEG DISPATCH. 'SATURDAY, AUGUST 15,
NAT GOODWIN'S SIEGE.
The Comedian leads an Attacking
Party on His Wife's Home.
SHE BRAYELT HOLDS THE FORT.
Goodwin Wants the Big, Handsome House,
but Cannot Get It.
NAT IN A MESSENGER BOY. DISGUISE
New Yobk, Aug. 14. Mrs. Nat Good
win's home, No. 226 West End avenue, is
in a state of siege, and the attacking party
is her husband, Comedian Nat Goodwin.
She dare not capitulate, for she says
the house is hers, and she means to hold
on to it Nat Goodwin-is positive the other
way, and proposes to tret possession.
Thev were married nearly three years ago
in Chicago, after she was divorced from her
first husband, the son of one of the wealth
iest men in Buffalo. Her maiden name was
Nella Baker. Last September she sned for
separation on the ground of desertion.
This week Nat Goodwin be.gdn to show
his teeth. He wrote a letter to Charles H.
Baker. Mrs. Goodwin's brother, who has
been living with her for some time, to afford
her both protection and companionship, for
she seldom goes out:
Dear Sin I received your sister's answer
to what w o talked about. Jrv house and fur
niture, etc., must be subject to my disposal
no later than Monday next; and you and
yours will be notified of same through your
attorneys. I shall call with the parties who
hnve leased my property on Monday next at
11 o'clock, and trust it will be in proper
leadiness to receive its tenants, and I shall
find no obstaclo placed in my way.
Xat C. Goodwis.
MBS. GOODWIN STAKDS FIRM.
Mrs. Goodwin decided that in this par
ticular instance "possession was nine points
of law." She sent for a locksmith, who
changed the lock on the front door, which is
protected bv outer doors of glass. An extra
cliain and bolt were also put on the door.
Then she discharged her servants, in case
bribery should make them forget their loy
alty to her.
Mrs. Goodwin's ordeai came last Monday
when the electric bell on the front door
sounded. Mr. Baker was watching the
brown stone stoop. Leaning on his shoulder
was Mrs. Goodwin, wearing a white silk
wrapper, but not whiter than her face, pale
from nervous excitement They saw Nat
Goodwin try his latch-key in the lock,
which, of course, did not yield to it Then
he walked down ?he stoop and turned the
corner. In a few minutes Goodwin re
turned, and with him the very fellow who
had changed the locks on the front door.
"Speak to him, Charles," whispered Mrs.
Goodwin, breathless and trembling, to her
brother. Young Baker raised the sash of
the parlor window to the left of the stoop.
"The doors are locked," he said to Good
win, who turned around and glared at him.
"My sister has the keys and I cannot admit
you."
goodWet grows fbantic.
"You 'shrieked Goodwin, and
with these insulting words, grabbed the
locksmith's hammer and aimed a blow at
either his brother-in-law or at the window.
In his wild fury he struck the glass in the
upper sash. It was very thick plate glass,
and it resisted Goodwin's first attempt and
the second and the third, for he continued
to shower blows on it.
As the stout pane broke, leaving a great
jagged hole, Baker cried to his sister:
"Well, you as owner of the house show
yourself." One of the flying bits of sharp
glass had cut Mrs. Goodwin's hand, and tho
blood was dropping from it, making a crim
son stain on the white silk of her gown.
She took two hurried steps to the window,
and, leaning out, looked at the comedian.
one had not laid eyes on mm Deiore tor
seven months.
"Nat," said his wife, struggling with her
feelings and making every effort to speak
calmly, "you said my brother had no right
to keep you out of here, but I have, and
you can not come in."
A HEATED ARGUMENT.
"This is my house," broke out Goodwin.
"No, Nat," answered his wife, "it's
mine."
"My lawyers told me to do this," retorted
the husband.
"Well I nm Borry for them," returned
Mrs. Goodwin, "for you have lost by it."
Then she pulled down the window. Good
win seemed to lose all control of himself.
He was perfectly sober, but he flung one
coarse epithet after another at his wife.
He turned to one young man standing by
and offered him money to raise the parlor
window. Mrs. Goodwin raised it herself.
"If vou touch that window," she said,
"I'll have vou arrested," and she sent the
watchman who was in guard after a police
man. "Boy," exclaimed Goodwin, turning to a
little fellow. "I'll give you 50 cents to hoist
that window."
The lad put his knee on the edge of the
stoop and began to climb over it, when up
came the watchman and a policeman.
"Now, here's your policeman," said
Goodwin to his wife; "what are you going
to do with him?"
"I want protection," said the wife, whose
nether lip was trembling, and who was
about to break down. I want that man to
go away."
"Come with me," said the policeman to
the actor, "and I will tell you what to do
about this." Goodwin and the officer walked
down West End avenue together.
NAT'S PARTING SHOT.
Still boiling with anger, Goodwin re
turned once more,this time alone. Young
Baker was at the basement door, which was
of hammered iron heavy enough to guard
the entrance to a prison. 'The windows of
the basement are sliielded, too, by iron bars.
Goodwin walked up as near as he could
get to Baker and Impatiently shook his fist
at him.
"I'll bring a platoon of men in the morn
ing," he cried, "and I'll batter down that
door. I'll throw you in the river, you ."
Then he went away, and did not come
back that day. On Tuesday night Mrs.
Goodwin learned that her husband would
make a second onslaught Young Baker
slept in the parlor that night, and, with a
special officer his sister had engaged, was
prepared for all comers.
Early in the morning they sent for car
penters, who, after putting" a few moije
chains not only on the glass front doors, but
on the oaken doors behind them, barricaded
the entrance with stout sticks braced
against the sides, of the vestibule.
Last night the garrison comprised Mrs.
Goodwin, her sister and her brother. At
10:25 the inmates were aroused by a ring tit
the door. Looking from the window they
saw a District Messenger boy holding up a
letter. Baker went to the basement door
and received it through the iron-barred
gate, guarding the area.
The messenger boy was Nat Goodwin in
disguise, hoping to effect au entrance, in
which he failed.
SATAN'S BEST MODEL.
Mrs. Goodwin in speaking of her hus
band .said: "Satan turned out his best
handiwork when he modeled Nat Goodwin."
In her petition for alimony, when she
asked for a separation, Mrs. Goodwin stated
that her husband owned plays worth 5100,
000; that the house she lives in is worth
540,000; that Goodwin owns securities worth
550,000; that he has an income of from 530,
000 to 550,000 a year, and that he has made
530,000 on "The Nomihee'nlone since last
September.
In his answer the comedian said that his
income was less than 515,000. He had made,

FREE SILVER IN OHIO.
Sx-Congreisman Warner Says It I the
Question of the Hour The Campaign
to Be Fought on That Issne Tour-
. Fifths of the People Would Vote for It",
General Warner, of Marrietto, O., was at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. The
General was in the Forty-sixth, Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses, and is
best known in connection with his advo
cacy of free silver coinage. He feels as
sured that the campaign in Ohio will be
fought out on the question of free silver. j(
'MBoth sides may take issue at the outset,'
he said, -on the tariff, but the real fight
will be made on the silver question. The
people of Ohio are not to be deluded into
the belief that the demonitization of silver
was a judicious step. Thev recognize very
clearly that the value of gold, and its conse
quent cost is getting higher every day, and
they understand very well that an equipoise
can only be established by bringing down
its value through the free coinage of silver.
"A prominent Kepublican told me the
other day that if a vote of the Ohio people
was taken, and aiide from any partisan
feeling, four-fifths of them would vote for
the free coinage of silver. This question of
monetary value is the one that affects the
great mass of the people, arid vou can make
a note of it that the real fighting will be
done around that principle."
"Campbell is prcttv certain to win," con
tinued the General. ""In the first place, no
Democrats will vote for McKinley; in the
next, many ltepublicans will vote against
him on the tariff stand. There are many
ltepublicans who conscientiously believe in
a protective tariff, and there are many
Democrat's with them on that, but neither
can stand the tariff of utter exclusiveness
embodied in the McKinley law. Tariff is a
good thing when it protects home industry,
because it keeps money in the country that
else would float out of it, but it is an injury
when made exclusive and for the benefit of
a few against the good of the many.
General Warner thinks that Senator Gor
man is a very possible Presidental nominee.
On the silver question he would find more
followers than Cleveland.

A MATTER OF MYSTERY.
People Would I-iko to Know What Is Be
ing Done for the Carnegie "Library
Some Architects Will Compete for the
Prize for Plans Others Kefnse.
In the view of some people there is an
unaccountable secrecy surrounding the mat
ter of plans for the Carnegie Library build
ing at Schenley Park. John S. Lambie
states that he knows nothing more than the
public; that there has 'been no meeting of
the commission since the time in the dim
past when architects were invited to com
pete, and that whatever is being done is
being done by a few who keep their coun
sels quiet.
A tour among architects was almost
equallF barren in results, but it at least
proved that some of them would compete.
A man in Mr. McClarrcn's office saidthe
time given was too short to allow it the at
tention it deserved, and the further fact that
there was no assurance that there would be
anything in it for a home architect was also
deterrent
Mr. Stolz seemed to be somewhat indiffer
ent, and apparently for the latter reason as
signed. Mr. Evans seemed to think better of the
offer of the commission, but he did not say
what he proposed to do in the matter. t
It was said that George S. Orth would
submit a plan, but he was not at home, and
could not be seen.
J. P. Bailey said he had rather make
plans for schoolhouses, churche', etc, and
didn't think it worth while to waste time
planning on a subject for whioh he might
merely have his labor for his pains.
W. S. Fraser will submit a plan, but he
was averse to telling anything about it.
It seems likely that a number of local
architects will compete, as thero is likely to
be something jn it for them, even if their
work is not accepted. Some criticism is in
dulged in. One man said he saw no usa in
planning a library on a scale so large that
its shelves would never be even approxi
mately filled, but as a rule architects had
little to say respecting it.

Closes the Annual Encampment of
the Second'Brigade, N. G. P.
'KENSINGTON DESERTED TO-DAY..
General
McClelland Pleased With
Work of His Soldiers.
the
THE BOYS RETURN THE COMPLIMENT
The last night at Camp Kensington will
go down in local history as a rival of "The
Last Days of Pompeii." Eevelry reigned
supreme and army regulations were almost
forgotten in the scenes of the celebration ol
the end of camp life for or.e year to come.
It was a most successful encampment and
really deserved a celebration in closing.
To-day the soldier boys will leave camp.
At 7:30 the Fifth and Fourteenth Eegiments
leave; at 9:30 the Tenth and Sixteenth leave;
at 11 the Fifteenth :'s scheduled to depart,
and at 4 p. m., the Eighteenth gets away.
The battery leaves at 4 a. m. to drive home,
unless the rain causes it to decide otherwise,
and the cavalry leaves at 7:30.
Yesterday's programme consisted ot skir
mish drills and regimental drills in the
morning and a brigade drill, in the after
noon. The latter was not finished on ac
count of the storm. In the forenoon there
was some very good volley firing, the regi
ments using up all the blanks that had been
issued to them on Thursday. Otherwise
there was nothing but the camp routine.
The discipline, as usual on the last day,
A Lover in the Hanks.
was not so rigid and the boys had more of a
chance to allowtheir animal spirits to ease
a little.
THE LADIES HATPOSSESSIOK. '
There were quite a large number of ladies
in attendance, and every one seemed in
terested in at least one, sometimes two or
three, of the soldiers in the ranks. Girls
always were patriotic At least they ad
mire brass buttons and blue coats, and for
this reason it is not so difficult to secure
recruits as it otherwise would be. At camp
yesterday,though there were any number of
civilians on hand, the girls did all their
flirting with the brave young men who are
not afraid to wear a uniform in times of
peace.
This is all very pleasant when there is
only one girl to .claim a soldier, but there
was one case yesterday in which blood
came near being spilled. A handsome
soldier was on "promenade duty" with a
fair young damsel in command, when an
other fair charmer swept on to the field
with the military precision of a battery
coming into action. Her eyes belched fire
like musketry at midnight, and her voice
thundered like a little lieutenant in com
mand of a big company. The green-eyed
monster of jealousy was in full possession
of her soul, and some other girl was in full
possession of her soldier. When this one
Amazonian warrior made her magnificent
charge that soldier who had never quailed
before the onslaught of tho enemy he has
never had a chance yet looked frightened,
shivered and surrendered unconditionally.
AN AWFUL PES EOK A SOLDIER
While the military man returned to his
first love, No. 2 felt called upon to expostu-
late, which called down the ire of No. 1 in '
a two-fold storm. Then No. 2 cried and the
soldier found himself in a worse fix than if
he had been killed in battle and hadn't a
permit to miss roll call. But matters
straightened themselves out all right after
awhile, and No. 1 left the field with her
soldier boy, whileNo. 2 dried her eyes and
sought new worlds to conquer, which she
probably found.
These little affairs only go to make up the
round of camp life, and with them left out

OFFICEKS ON THE CLOSING DAT.
Major Kav, of the Eighteenth, was the
officer of tlie day at brigade headquarters
yesterday and Lieutenant William (3. Lant
mer, the new Second Lieutenant of Com
pany I, Eighteenth Begiment. was officer of
the guard. The other officers of the day
were: Tenth, Captain Pauley, Company K;
Fifteenth, Captain Hanna, Company G;
Eighteenth, Captain William Davi, Com
pany C; Sixteenth, Captain Windsor, Com
pany I; Fourteenth, Captain Day, Company
E; Fifth, Captain Leggate, Company 11.
Everythins passed off smoothly and there
was no disturbance of any kind to mar the
closing day of the camp. The soldiers did
their work in the lines, when
they had no excuse to fall out
on, and very few of them had, then
turned in to enjoy themselves in royal
style. Camp only comes once a year and it
is'a good many months until the next one.
The'Senecas and Piutes" assembled in full
force at their headquarters 'during the early
part of the afternoon and danced clogs,
Irish reels and jigs until they were tired
enough to quit and go into the brigade drill.
The "Senccas and Piutes" have an annual
- V.
carnival and it is always a leading feature of
the closing day of camp. Yesterday was
no exception and after the war dance was
over they went into the battle with the
perspiration making streaks in the ruddy
war paint on their faces.
'GENEEAI, M'CLEXTjAST) HT CAMP AGAET.
General McClelland was among the boys
again yesterday, and visited almost every
part of the camp. He is well pleased with
the results of the weeks work, and very
highly commends the showing made by all
the regiments. The camp has been a suc
cess in every way except in the minor parts
of the programme which were ruind by tjie
rain. But these little troubles must come
for every camp and are not much thought
of.
General "Wylie also expressed himself as

the most difficult of the maneuvers. It re-c
quires a great amount of work to keep ' a
regiment in trim and the commander of a
regiment has no easy task. It also requires
a great amount of watching on the part of
the captains to keep their companies in good
condition. A new scheme for banks has
appeared on the field and every Captain in
tne brigade declares he win adopt it tor his

A Posse of Keyenue Officers Capture
a Moonshiner's Still.
THE GIRL IED THE - RAIDERS.
A long Night Eide Thronch the Wild and
Rugged Mountains.
REWARD IN STORE FOR THE HEROINE
Louisville, Kr., Aug. 14. A buxom
girl in the Tennessee Mountains piloted a
party of moonshine raiders to an illicit still
down there last Wednesday, for which she
will be rewarded by the Government. Her
name is "withheld by the officers, but they
speak loudly in praise of her courage and
endurance.
Away over in Johnson county, in what is
known as the Iron Monntains, near the
North Carolina line, John and Bob Steward
have for years operated an illicit distillery,
and have defied the law. The coun
try is rough and wild, and diffi
cult of access. Gallon after gallon
of whisky was made and sold,
and, though the revenue officers worked
hard to find it, they could not locate the
still. The people of the country adjoining
seemed to be in sympathy with the distil
lers of the mountain dew, and the officials
could not find the path to the road, much
less secure the services of a guide.
A RUSTIC BEAUTY GUEOE.
This state of affairs worried General
Deputy Collector Spears for some time, but
he was determined to destroy what was
noted as being one of the largest and
most successful moonshine distiller
ies in the State of Tennessee. At
last he found one who would take him to
the still. It was a hazel-eyed girl, with a
face as brown as a berry. Her hair was
unkept, and flew behind her in the wind,
and her costume was not exactly a la mode.
Her make-up was rustic and picturesque,
' and that means she was a typical mount
aineer. Her arms were sunburned and so
were her feet, for, like Maud Muller, she
' was unincumbered by shoes or stockings.
Nevertheless, she suited Deputy Spears'
purpose, for she knew where the Stewards
still was located, and she had consented to
guide the raiders to the spot.
When aU was ready she met them many
jmiles from the still, that she might not be
'known. She was afraid of assassination in
case it was ascertained that she had been
.the informer. For this reason, also, the
raid was made under cover of darkness.
STARTING- ON THE TRAIL.
. The start was made from a railroad station
100 miles from the still. The girl met the of
ficers at the station, and the party scattered
until nightfall. Horses had been se
cured, and, after the sun had gone
down, they were brought to a re
mote corner of the town, according to a pre
vious arrangement, it nad Deen agreed
upon at the meeting at the station that all
should meet where the horses were waiting1
at dusk.
Twilicht was just turninjr into darkness
when Deputy Spears and his possee made
their way by ainerent roads to tne rendez
vous. The girl was there in waiting. There
was no side-saddle for her, but she needed
none. These are unknown to the natives of
the Tennessee mouatains, but all the females
are expert horsewomen. Springing lightly
into the saddle, the girl led the war, the
.horses.making their way over the deserted
road in a swinging gallop.
Before daylight began to break the party
jhad covered 55 miles, or thereabouts, and
'were in the mountains. A stop was made
for breakfast at a house where the girl was
acquainted, jind where she knew no ques
tions would be asked as to who the riders
were. The day was spent in sleepins and
laying low, so that passersby might not sus
pect anything.
AN ALL-NIGnT RIDE.
Travel in the mountains ceases early,
and the second night the party was
enabled to get an early start. Before
the sun had fairly hidden itself behind
a mountain in the west the party were
in the saddle, making their way along a
road that was passable enough in good
weather. Consequently, they made good
time, and darkness found them well on
their way. By midnight the road had
grown narrower and rougher. It was up
and down, and very crooked. A few mo
ments later the girl led the-way-from the
road to a small and much wilder
one. The horses were slowed down to a
trot, and the road was, at places, almost
impassable. After they had gone about 40
miles the road if it could be still called a
road ended abruptly at a dilapidated and
deserted cabin.
"We must dismount here," said the
girl. "It is eight miles to the still, and
there is no road on which the horses can
travel."
Every one dismounted and the horse3
were led into the brush. One man was left
to guard them and the barefooted girl led
the way up the mountain for the others. It
was then nearly 1 o'clock. The way was a
hard one and -progress slow. Sometimes
there was a path and sometimes there
wasn't, but the girl knew where she was
foing and kept up the spirits ot the raiders
y encouraging remarks from time to time.
CAPTURE OP THE STILL.
It was almost at the mountain top, in the
roughest kind of country where the still was
located. It was reached a little before 4
o'clock, just as the gray tinges of dawn
began to appear in the East. Then, less than
a quarter of a mile away, a curling blue
smoke was seen.
"There is the still," said the girl, her in
dex finger pointing to the smoke. "I will
wait here. I must not be seen for fear of
the consequences."
Leaving the girl near a large tree, the
party started on. The still was surrounded
and one of the Stewards, who was at work,
was captured. The still was a large one,
with a capacity of 85 gallons, and was in full
operation. It wa3 located in a little ra
vine, just at the base of a ledge 6f rocks,
from which poured a large stream of water.
The raiders made short work of destroy
ing the still, worm, mash tubs, beer and
meal, and returned to where the girl was in
hiding. At the end of the road she left
them, and the prisoner was brought back on
the horse she had ridden.

DEJTVEB'S DOUBLE SUICIDE.
It Is Very Fowible That the Crime Was Half
Murder Instead.
Denver, Aug. 14. The circumstances
surrounding the death of Mr. and Mrs.
Eugene Bonnick begin to take on a mys
terious appearance as the investigation pro
ceeds, and there are many who now believe'
that Mrs. Bonnick poisoned her husband
and then took the fatal drug herself, after
satisfying herself that her husband wag too
far gone to recover.
The jury examined a large number of wit
nesses this morning, but nothing of a start
ling nature was developed in the cast, and
it is not believed that any evidence crim
inating anvone now living will be produced,
although It is shown beyond question that
the meddling of relatives had much to do
with the double suicide, or murder and
suicide, as the case may be.
