JTvxf, BERKMAN IN THE PEN. Tho Anarchist Settling Down to the Routine of Prison Life. , HIS MIND DEtOMING AFFECTED. The Cfficials Do Xot I xpect Dim to live Out Ilia Sentence. TEAEXS FOR CIGARETTES AND GOSSIP. The "Western Penitentiary could hardly have looked lovelier under any circum stances than it did in the glow of a soft September sun yesterday afternoon. The surrounding grounds were rich in verdure, and studded with" blooming flowerbeds. The "Warden's residence never looked so cosy in its frame of ivy, casting a broad reflection on the river surface right in front. In this immense institution did Alexan der Berkman, ex-Anarchist, for a period of 22 yeys to come, and convict No. A-7 for the time being, sleep on Monday night. He was assigned to cell A-8 in the north wing ol the prison the quarters which hef is to occupy during the term ot his sentence. He is quiet because he has to be, having been warned that an v attempt at bravado would compel the keepers to use the less gentler means usually employed to keep men of his caliber within their lines. NotwiUistaad ing the fact that he was treated' rather kindly on his arrival at the penitentiary the prison officials encountered the same surly demeanor exhibited by the would-be assassin during his prcvions escapades. Objects to the Bill ofl'aro. The prisoner didn't like the food given him by any means, though a sample of the bread supplied the convicts, which was given a Dispatch reporter, seemed to be as good as any that could be baked. At every turn he muttered imprecations on the ill-luck that incessantly followed him. Notwithstanding the announcement that Berkman had been shaved pud measured, and had a number of other things done to him on Monday, the prisoner is still as he was when he entered the penitentiary, with the one exception of his having on the ttripes. To-day he will have his hair re moved, and the measurement ot his body, hands and legs taken according to the Bir tillon system, now in use. He will also be photographed in full and sidefaced, sitting and standing, positions. Every character istic will be recorded in the convict's record at the penitentiary. Monday night he slept well, though when he appeared for exercise yesterday morn ing he at once betrayed the keen feelings ot one in his position. The air of triumph that had borne him through his previous escapades was partially absent, though it was ui th a grlu that lie did what he was told. The doctors examination of Benja min showed him to be in good physical con dition. Yearning for Cigarettes and Society. . All day yesterday he yearned for his cigarettes but had to do without them. .His love of nicotine will undoubtedly cause him anxiety for some time. When let out upon the ground lor the first time, he seemed as it he wauted everyone to know that he was the man wlio had attempted to take the lite ot H. C Frick. He felt the pain of being compelled to keep from speaking to other prisoners. Berkman was very closely watched Mon !ny night. While l3eputy Warden McKean cud the keepers believe his threat that he would hang himself to be a blufl, still the watch was never relaxed. Yesterday more than ever he seemed to think that he was right in trying to kill Mr. Trick. It is doubtful if he will ever serve his lull term. His actions of the last couple of days lead those who have auy connection with "him to believe that the man's mind is weakening by degrees. Ber&man will be pat to work to-day in the stocking department among other men ot the average amount ot importance iu kucli an institution. One of the new hands in this particular department is Lester, the militiaman, who stabbed a man named Cal houn, on Grant street, recently. He is learning the trade of hosiery making very rapidly. In the same department is Doer flinger, the embezzler, Stout, and James Orr, the real estate agent, convicted ot assault ing his pretty typewriter. Factories Running Full Ulast. All the lactones at the penitentiary never were in such working trim before. The demand tor brooms and floor matts is extra ordinary and the quality of the material turned out is said to be ahead of anything done by a similar institution iu the country. Berkman will have a turn at each of the shops until it is determined what employment best suits him. He may be put in the" cook shop, over which Kane, tne murderer, pre sides, after a time. He spent a portion of yesterday in the schoolroom where Keeper itobert H. Graham teaches illiterate pris oners to rehd and write. One ot the first things that seemed to puzzle Berkman alter his arrival at the little room of instruction was the enunciation of the fifth proposition A THREE WEEKS' ROMANCE. WRITTEN FOB THE DISPATCH BY ALICE BUTLER, ATJTHOB OF "A BtJDE AWAKENIXG," ETC, ETC Concluded from yesterday.' Phoebe glanced across at her companion, with a face of blank dismay at the prospect. "We should be buried, it it went on' snowing all that time." "How many feet deep will my port manteau be now?" he asked thoughtfully. "Your portmanteau? Did you leave it in the snow?" "Yes, I dropped it behind a walL It was heavy." "You must have been dreadfully cold and lost last night," said Phcebe, and for the first time a realization of what his struggle across the moors must have been, crossed her mind. "Yes, it was dreadful." "If o onewho had known the moors would have ventured," she said, with a vivid re membrance of how he had looked as the result of iiis venture. And, with the re membrance, came another remembrance, of how limply wet his collar and tie had been the evening before. She glanced across to Me how they looked this morning, but was met by a vision of immaculate spotlessness, which she felt Mr. Esmond must have got, somehow or other, if e had been stranded on a desert island, go impossible was it to imagine him without their conventional finish. He intercepted her glance, and smiled consciously. "You have discovered that I have been helping myself from Bobert's stores," he said, in explanation. The snow continued to fall for the greater part of the day, but toward evening it ceased, revealing a country covered many feet deep in spotless snow, and in the skies above the stars came out and gleamed like drops of sparkling fire. During the earlier part of the day Mr. Esmond had acted as Phcebe's henchman. Since then they had talked and read in the dining room. They were resting there now, ad Phajbe was thoughtfully staring into the fire. She was thinking how dreadfully ignorant a country girl is. Eobert had of Euclid, Boot X, which was written.' on the blackboard. Berkman intimated yesterday that he liked his new quarters much better than he did those in the jail. STOCKWELL HELD FOR TRIAL. Inquiry Into the Disappearance of the Funds of tlio Iron Hall Into "Whoso ' Pocket Bid tlio Cash Go, n Question That Is Troubling the Courts or Justice. Philadelphia, Sept 20. Adelbert E. Stockwell, late counsel and assignee of the Mutual Banking Surety and Trust Com pany, and J. Henry Hayes, Cashier of the' defunct institution, were given a hearing to day on charges of conspiracy and perjury, growing out of the failure of the bank and the Order of Iron Hall, and were held in 510,000 bail each for trial. Stockwell furnished the required security for him self, but Haves declared his inability to obtain bondsmen and was taken to the county prison. The" evidence as summed up by District Attorney Graham tended to show that the bank directors, when they found their cap ital impaired, signed a paper requesting Cashier Davis,of the Iron Hall.toloan orad vance the Mutual Bank 5200,000. J. Henry Hayes signs it and the receipt for it. Stockwell prepared that paper and was present at the meeting which ordered it. This Stockwell denied, but Mr. Graham's only Teply was to read the testimony that Mr. Stockwell had given before the court. "Then," continued Mr. Graham, 'he went into court and swore that money had been contributed br the stockholders: Of this $200,000, according to the testimony of expert accountants, 5170,000 was charged on the books to profit and loss. Not a word about the 530,000. Into whose pockets did it go?" "Mr. Stockwell says the money was in vested in bonds. Davis says 'No.' I tell you that when the ruin was hanging over them they tried to cover it up. Then Stockwell's lawyer came to him and he said I have invested it. That 530,000 was just purloined from the Iron Hall, then taken from the bank and the securities were found where? Why, iu Mr. Stockwell's office." Tlie only crime, the counsel for Stockwell argued, that his client could be charged with was in 4eing assignee of this concern. He defied any one to show that Mr. Stock well had received one penny he was not legally entitled to for bis services as a. lawyer, or that he had received one dis honest dollar. He said that it was perfectly natural that the Iron Holl, as the principal creditor, should come to the rescue of the bank and make good the impairment. BANDIT GABCIA HEABD FEOM. lie Murders a "Wealthy Planter and Defies ' the Troops Pursuing Illrn. Havasa, Sept. 20. The notorious ban dit, Manuel Garcia, accompanied by a mu latto named Plasencia, recently waylaid and murdered a wealthy planter named Dionisco Banista, the owner of an extensive plantation near Quivican. The bandit placed on the body of his victim a letter which read: "I am not a murderer. It I killed Banista it is because he tried to poison my brother, Vincente, and to deliver me up to the guards." The letter contained menaces against sev eral persons, whom the writer declared he would punish in the same manner as he had Banista. It also expressed the most con temptuous defiance for the troops who are engaged in hunting him. "Whisky Is to Warn-. On Jnne 1. 1892, I weighed 107 pounds and was suffering from Indigestion.

She had never knosrn anyone who was so unvaryingly courteous a3 he had been to-day. He had never paid her a compliment never told her, even in looks, that she was more than usually good-looking. From his conversa tion she gathered that he moved among people whose names were household words in England. She wondered, with a sudden burning blush in her cheek, if he thought her a country bumpkin. Somehow the words were so ridiculous they surely could not apply to her. She rose with a feeling of intolerable vexation at her own folly, and without a word to Mr. Esmond she went upstairs, and sat there, cold and un comfortable, looking out into the night, until the striking ot seven told her that she had been upstairs an hour, and she left her dignity and sorrow upstairs, and returned to the dining room. Daring the days that followed the same pretty game went on. It might have re minded an onlooker of a gameOf hide and seek, played between the statelr dames aud lords of a bygone age, wherein the fun only breaks out now and" then behind a carefully decorons glance. Eobert Derinr found his way home on the second day, and made the play more interesting, because, in the shelter of his chaperonage, there might be a little more license. Nowthat so wild a word as "license" might in any way be applied to the beha vior of the two principals in the game. Phcebe, at first, made repeated attempts to remain mistress of herself and her house hold, only to find herself hankering after a little knowledge or fashionable, London life, wondering if she, with her graceful freedom of movement and fresh beauty would find herself an untrained bumpkin beside Mr. Esmond's friends. In the rare visits ofher betrothed, who was also a dweller in London, she had been accus tomed to providing a bountiful tea for the two "boys," and afterward to hearing them exchange business confidence for an hour or tTfcS., -nf-jowxcy A SIALL, DAR1( MAN, - i If Fonnd, Could Solve the" Mystery of a Liberty Street Fire. PARTNERS CHARGED WITfl ARSON. Illness of a Jurjinan Causes the Suspen sion of a 1 rial. THE NEWS OP THE COUNTY COURTS P. H. Saitta, tho fruit dealer, was placed on trial yesterday before Judge McClung on the charge of setting fire to a building with intent to defraud an insurance com pany. On December 19, 1891, the building of Dallmeyer on "Liberty street was burned down and Saitta and Mazzo's fruit store de stroyed. They were insured for 516,000, but settled with the insurance company for 510,000. A man supposed to be "Old Jack," a laborer, was burned to death in the fire, and the charge was brought against P. H. Saitta and John Mazzo that they started the fire and were responsible forjthe man's death. Saitta was tried yesterday on the charge of setting fire to the building. District Attorney Burleigh conducted the prosecu tion, and J. S. Bobb and E, A. Montooth the defense. I F. Dallmeyer testified as to the 'fire and his mother owning the build- I ing, which was a total loss. J. McFadden, a driver lor Saitta & Fugassi, testified to leaving the building at 6 o'clock on the evening of the day of the fire. Messrs. Saitta and Fugassi were still there. George Newman and John Sherman testi fied to going to the burning building and" trying to shut oil the natural gas for the Philadelphia Company. Joseph Varley and Thomas Simpson, employes of the Duquesne Theater, testified to hearing the explosion preceding the fire and seeing a man run from the coal hole in the pave ment in front of the burned building a minute after the fire. They could not identify the man. Paul Cameron gave similar testimony, and described the man as small, with a black frock coat, slouch hat and mustache. &C. F. Ellis testified to having seen the man come out of the coal hole, lie said the man was John Mazzo. As Mazzo was joint ly indicted with Saitta for arson, Mr. Bur leigh called Mazzo, who said he was not the man who came out of the coal hole. Other witnesses were examined, W. H. Camp finally being called. He saw the man crawl out ot the coal hole, and he positively identified him as Saitta, the defendant. At 3 o'clock, owing to the illness of a juror, the case was continued until to-day. CRIMINAL COUBT CASES. Minor Offenders Convicted and Itecelve Light Sentences.

Then they would generally fall asleep; and she would scan the faces lying back in tho easy chairs, and muse on the general superiority of man to woman. Itobert still went to sleep, but his com panion did not. He did not exactly enter tain Phoebe with tales Othello-like, but somehow, through the long hours, it was not often that the conversation ball dropped. Phoebe was not without the feminine gift of tongue indeed, she was rather gifted in that line and Mr. Esmond, she discovered, was of Irish descent, which accounted for his volubility, and, on the presumption of his having kissed the Blarney stone, for the facility with which he could make Phcebe's blushes come and gn. As they stood in the dining room one day, returned from a skating expedition, Phcebe, who was unfastening her jacket, took off the torque also, and handed it to Mr. Esmond. ' 'Do you like my collar?" she asked, lightly. He took the pretty ornament in his hand and turned it over in the light from the 'Window. Before he could make any remark upon it Phoebe volunteered an explanation. "It is my engagement ring," she said, leaning her fur-capped head back against the window curtains. "I prelerred-it to an ordinary engagement ring, though it was rather extravagant of me; and mr, my what shall I call him?" "Don't you think just 'him,' as you said, has as much meaning as anything?" He was holding the collar in his hand with, to her, his ordinary placidity 'in his blue eyes, though it might really be the stoicism with which an Englishman bears a blow. "Do you like it?" she asked, leaving her former question unfinished. "JfOL'' The question was grim,and for a moment, went unsupported by any further explana tion; he handed the "collar back to her. "When an article is marked 'sold' at all, it should be in very plain letters," he saii He was not looking at her now, or he might have seen that the fresh color faded from her face for a few .minutes, and that her thoughtful blue eyes cast a swift ques tioning and revealing glance at him. She took the torque in her hands, and fastened it round her throat with rather shaky fin gers, and then gathered up her muff and gloves, and took them away without a word.

When Mr. Esmond's behaviour became" totally differ ent alter Phasbe's disclosure about her en gagement, she was at a loss to'knovr wheth er it was tor his own sake that he bad meta phorically withdrawn to a distance, or be cause he had divined her motives and wished to show her that she had miscon strued his attentions. Tear that it might be from the latter mo tive froze Phoebe's hospitality into ice. Mr. Esmond was as invariably courteous as beforehand the consequence was, that they entertained each other like drawing-room guests. If only Eobert had been endowed with a small share of humor, he might have enjoyed the stage-like, behavior'of the two; but to them it was terribly earnest The day following Phoebe's disclosure was market day at Eltham, add Mr. Es mond accompanied Eobert there and re mained with him all day. Phoebe, left at home, got out certain letters received from the absent lover, and read them all thought fully' before the dining-room fire. They were very much alike, each beginning with "My own dear love." and ending with "Your devoted lover," and all closely re sembling each other in what came between two remarks. There was quite a pile of them too, nearly sixty. She folded them neatly together, and replaced them in the scented box from which she had taken them. A She sat looking at them, her hands clasped round'the gold collar at her throat. Then she drew a sheet of empty paper to ward her and began to write. The firelight flickered on her fair hair and bine serge dress, and tried to warm her unusually pale cheeks into a little oi their ordinary color. She filled the sheet of paper with her clear, legible handwriting, and then pushed it away from her, and immediately wrote another letter a much shorter one. She held the two in her hands, comparing one with the other, her clear eyes weighing their merits with the prompt, judicial ease whioh she could apply to other things beside let ters. Finally she put both letters into the same scented box with the others, and, lean ing back in her chair, her eyes fell on the reflection of herself in 'the glass over the mantel-piece. She was not a girl who spent much time in, the stud v of herself, so that the sadden appearance 'of the pictured Self before her came upon her with the start lingness of something unexpected. She leaded forward and scanned the pic tare with something of the primitive curios ity of a savage. So that was herself the self that other people said "How do yon do" to, and criticised.

Even to her, there was something unique in the abundance of physical charms, coupled with the breadth of forehead and the independence of mouth that bespoke wits and will. She mentally passed a "you are satisfactory" judgment on the bending figure in the glass, as her sharp scrutiny fell on the healthy tints of the face, the perfect blue eyes, and the alert, finely-formed figure. She rose and went to the window, and with her eyes fixed on the scow-covered road, over which the dogcart had carried the two men to market that morning, she stood trying' to do what was beyond tho power of even her sharp, blue eyes to loot a few steps into the future. There were only a day-and-a-balf of Mr. Esmond's visit left. They passed in the same interchange of ceremonious courtesy a sort of thin ice which covered the unusually stirred feelings below. And so the last day came, and with it that very last minute which we can never really believe in until it is here. Robert, seated in the trap at the front door, had called out several times that there was ' barely time to catch the train, and Mr. Esmond, had, at last, descended to the little entrance hall, where Phoebe was waiting to say goodby. One looked as calm as the other as they met, and more conld not be said for their calmness. Phcebe was the correctly at tentive hostess, ready to wish her guest bon voyage, and to hope they should see him again, and then retire to her warm dining room, comfortable and happy. Beneath Mr. Esmond's new fur-lined coat, it was impossible to imagine anything less con ventional than a good breakfast and an easy digestion. If they had been Jane, the housemaid, and John, the footman, there might have been a pert toss oi the head frotn Jane, or a back-handed speech from John to help matters on, but even the unusual whiteness of Phoebe's face was hidden by the semi-darkness of the hall. . "I hope you have enjoyed your visit.'' she said with a confused recollection of his first appearance, as her eye tell upon the traveling cap in his hand. " "Tnank you. It has been the happiest three week's in my life." "Has it?" she said lightly, not noticing in the strained sensations of tho moment the unusual warmth of his speech. Indeed. it was only in the words themselves that there was any unusual warmth. The tone of them was sincere enough, but Mr. Es mond's quiet little voice always had a sin cere ring in its tones. ,y , NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. WONDERFUL BARGAINS ALL THIS WEEK.

I ANDERSON BLOCK. selO "Perhaps we shall see yon again, some time." And in that speeoh there was an un mistakable strain ot wistfulness, which made Mr. Esmond hesitate for a moment as he glanced for corroboration to her face. Goodby." 'Goodby," he replied; perhaps yon will ask me to come and dance at vour wed ing?" "Yes, I will," said Phoebe, standing a lit tle more erect at this reminder. He stooped to kiss the hand that he held with a pardon-asking air, and then Phcebe withdrew the hand from his, and stood cold and erect, till he had mounted the dog cart and waved his last adieu. She shut the door with her own hands the great iron-bound door she had opened to admit her unwelcome visitor a few weeks before; and, then going slowly upstairs, she stood before the glass in her own room and looked at her white face with a mixture of contempt and pity. She slowly unclasped the torque from her neck, and' holding it up before her turned it round and round in the dim winter light. Then she folded it up and placed it in tha box where her par cel of love letters lay; and, turning back to the glass, she replaced the collar by a brooch. She paused for a moment to note how beautifully staid the brooch looked like one who has renounced mankind, she said to herself with a smile. She saw the smile in the glass, and it ocourred to her that she was acting; and there came to her a remem brance ot how very young she was, of how very many years therowere yet to oome to make up life, of how, even the self that she saw in the glass would leave her, and grad ually a withered, parched old crone would take" its place. And the only thing that would gild this life would be a remem brance of the three weeks' romance which had been the cause of it. As she packed the torque away, she packed with it wifehood and perhaps moth erhood, with the responsibilities which are, at lowest, distractions. But the strain of romance in the girl had awoke and taken possession of her being, until any possibil ity of following a course other "than that of remaining faitnful to her lost, never-declared lover, never presented itself to her. Out of the two letters which she had written to her lover in London Phoebe chose the shorter one, which she enveloped ana addressed ready for sending. In the box of letters she packed sundry little presents and the fatetnl collar, wrapped and ad dressed those two, and then, with slow, sat isfied step, she returned to the dining room. When she got there the room was so pain fully, strikingly empty "that she paused for LAIRD. WHOLESALE AND EETAIL. 433 AND 435 WOOD ST. S613-TT3 MANUFACTURED -BY- NEW 7-P WED."

As she knelt there she heard the re turn of the trap, but she did not rise, for she knew itobert would drive round to the back. He did not do so, however, Dut opened the hall door, and before she could scramble to her feet, not he, bat Mr. Esmond stood before her. .The tell-tale scarlet rushed to her face as she remembered her prone position. "We missed the train, after all," ex plained Mr. Esmond, "and as there isn't another until evening, we were obliged to come back." "I am sorry," said Phoebe. "Are you?" he asked, an unusual color rising to his face, now. Phcebe was too entirely confused and startled by his return to do anything but wonder how far and how irrevocably she had betrayed herself. Mr. Esmond took possession of her hands, and drew her to the window. "Where is your collar?" he asked, ab ruptly. She put up her hands to her throat, and looked at him helplessly. "For goodness sake, don't trifle," ha burst out; irritably, "Why have yon taken the collar ofl?" ' "Why should you ask?" demanded Phoebe, roused by his anger. "I left you looking like yourself, and wearing your engagement ring," he said. "I come back accidentally and find you without it, crying." "I was not crying," said Phoebe, involun tarily. "If it is because yon have given him up that other lover and I have a right to speak to try to win your lore is it, Phoebe?" She glanced at him, qnestioningly. "I know what yon are thinking," he said, impetuously and erroneously, "yon ore wondering ' what manner of a man I am. Well, I am not worthy of you but will yon trust me?" "Yes, I will trust .you," she said, "but you didn't say that because I was crying, did you?" "Well what do you think?" "Of course, I know if yon were in the habit of consoling crying damsels like that, you would be married long ago but still "Bat still I love yoa oat of all the other women in the world.
