The Cannon Valley railroad is building aturn table about half a mile from tbe crosgiugofthe Chicago &Northwestern and the Omaha

roads and preparing to build a depot at thatplace. As to what the road intends to doeverybody Is at sea, but it looks as they weretrying to squeeze a bonus out of Mankato be-fore entering the city limits which they arenot compelled to do in order to secure theland grant.

An attempt was made by tbe roadmastcrand a gang oflaborers in the employ of theChicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad tolay a track through the lumber yard ofLaird,Norton & Co., but bad only removed a smallpart of tbe lumber when ordered to desist byMr. Farr. It was feared that the attemptwould be renewed in the evening, but noother effort was made to remove the lumberand lay the track.

For several Sundays past everybody thatcould find a cutter, and a horse of any gradeor age, has been upon the streets taking ad-vantage of the sleighing, and a number ofthem have driven at an unwarranted rate ofspeed and contrary to tbe city ordinances.Notice was given by the police a week agothat it would not be allowed, and on Sundaysome of the same ones repeated the practice.Probably three or four of those who tried thespeed of their horses Sunday will be beforecourt to day to answer for fast driving.

Palace tinrant.This institution, which is about to be

opened in the building formerly known asthe Warner drug store, two doors below theEmpire store of Geo. E. Brett, will be a fea-;ure of this city in the future. The buildinghas recently been purchased by F,G. Heinze,

who has fitted It up for the purpose men-tioned in a very neat and elaborate manner.The room Is 100 feet deep and has recentlybeen invested with a tine plate glass front,and under the bauds of Manderfeld & Paynehas been papered and decorated in a mostelaborate fashion. The front room, which isdesigned for bakers' goods, confectionery,cigars and tobaccos and fruits is separatedfrom the dining room by i fine panneledwood screen fitted with stained glass cur-tains draped before the entrance.

The general dining room is large and spa-cious aud neatly matted. At the extreme enda tapestried entrance to the private diningparlor is found, in which latter room privateparties and couples can be entertained incomparative seclusion, and which can alsobe utilized in times of demand to increasethe general facilities of the place. This roomis elegantly carpeted and fitted up, and willbe as tine a private dining parlor as is to befound in much larger cities. The culinarydepartment connects with each dining roomby means of a sliding window and through a

• passage way to the front room. The Palacerestaurant will be opened with a grand oystersupper in a few days and will be constantlyunder the immediate supervision of its pro-prietor. Itwillbe conducted on the liberalplan and will be one ofthe fixtures of Man-kato.

111-., Corblrt.In a cliffnot half a mile from my early

no; them home, a pair of HUM every t-uui-

iiktbuilt their nest. They bad been thereno one knew how long. Tuc nest was aboutmidway between tin- top of the cliffand thesea at its base, being placed within a smallcave on the face of the precipice, where itwas safe from all invader*. The young oneswere insatiable; and as their parents likedto m them well fed, it occasionally happenedthat a hen or a duck might be found amiss-ing from the farm-yard.

In the MMcliff, but nearer the water,and just, over the mouth of a cave, a cor-morantor shag, as we call the bird —builther nest on an open shelf, so that we couldnot see the eggs from the top of the cliff.Tb<- male raven had Been them too, and re-solved to transfer the cgirs to his nest. Butibis did not prove to be so easy as it badlooked; for the bbair, with her long ucck andbooked bill, defended her property to thelast. The raven did not like toconic to closequarters with her, but sought to gain theeggs by art and perseverance. lie wouldalight on one end of the shelf, and 6idle upto the shag as near as be dared, picking atthe outside material of her nest, and thusprovoking her to make a dire at him, co asto draw her off the eggs. That gained, Lcwould spring to the other side of the nest toseize an egg. But * the thai: would wheelround and meet him with open mouth, some-times ruffling a feather out of him. Tli!swent on now and then for several days, tillone day the shag got a firm hold of him, andboth tumbled over plump into the sea. Un-fortunately, the shag lost her hold as theyfell into the water, or perhaps she had to letgo; and the raven getting on her back, wassoon on the wing. The shag by-and-by gotup also; but ere she could reach her nest,the raven, drenched as he was, had removedthe eggs, not to his nest, but to a short dis-tance, from which be could carry them awayat his leisure.

The poor shag had no avenger, and therethe matter seemed to terminate. But onenight shortly after, a thunder storm came onfrom the direction of the sea in front of thecliff. The rain was heavy, and the thunderloud; and next morning the "corbies' "nest with their family bad been washed away.Isaw the bereaved parents silting on tietop ofthe cliff, each a picture of desolation,

the motherbird.After a day or two, we began to bear of

sheep being destroyed by some strangeagency, and then we were told that it vatthe work of the "corbies." Tliis did notseem credible; but more than one personcould testify to having seen the birds at thework. One morning, a choice sheep ofmine was found destroyed; and 1 started atonce with a gun to shoot the destroyers.But they knew what the weapon meant; andfor eight days, early and late, my effortswere unavailing. At lust I killed a raven,though whether one of the destructive birdsI could not be certain; but from that d.iv.the sheep were safe, and the birds neveragain seen. i

During nine days, these two ravens killedno fewer than thirty strong, fullgrown sheep.Their mode of action was discovered to be asfollows: Tbe motberbird would fly on to thesheep's face, fixing her claws below the eyes,and seizing the top of the bead with her bill,would flap with her wings and scream fright-fully. Her mate, ever, near, would, whenthe sheep was so fixed, get on her back anddig a bole through to the kidneys. Tbesheep, distracted and blinded, would some-times run over the cliff, sometimes into i

ditch, and sometimes fa*.l. down exhausted.In no case were the ravens known to leavetheir victim until life was extinct, snappingtbe windpipe to that end, when other mean!failed; and in no case were they known Ufeed on the sheep's carcass. The loss o:their young ones seemed to ' have excited

! them to madness, and the sbeep seemed t<be the only living thing on which they coulcvent their rage. Had demoniacal toescssioibeen a present-day affliction, 1 should haviregarded these ravens as a cue . li/—•-*.—™«-.W» Journal.

THE LITE OF A TRAPPIST.• \.~ / , . \u25a0\u25a0 . '

A Vlttt fa th» Mounttrry m* Grthßttnaiif,Kentucky.

A Utter written from Gethsemaae, a sta- ,tion on tbe Loui«rille it Great Southern nil-road, half war between Lebanon Junction 'and Covington. furnishes a graphic descrip- 'tion of tbe far-famed Trappict Monastery, 'the Abbey of Gcthsemane which is located ,there. On alighting at the railroad station, |ears the writer, ] found a little negro boyoflciating as baggage master, depot master,and general superintendent. On my asking i

fora guide to the monastery, be said that be 'was the only man in the place, and that becould not very well leave tbe depot.' Point-ing to some saddled bone* across toe road,be added that either ofthem with a free rein.would tote me to the monastery. I thankedhim, and started for tbe abbey on foot. As-cending a loni: hill, I came to a dense forestwith roads branching right and left. Tbestillness was painful. There was no birdsand not even the piping of acricket was beard. I followed tbebest beaten path. There was a suc-cession of sterile bills and lifeless swamps.After walking about three miles I saw thesteeple of the monastery from the top of tbeb!!L It was almost buried in dense foliage.Ten minutes later I passed an unoccupiedbouse and a dilapidated mill that looked asthough Itbad nut been used for more than acentury. Everything bad a decaying look.

The monastery Is a large rectangular struc-ture of brick, enclosed wiUiin two walls. Toi-i:t-r it you pass through an archway cov-ered with flower*. There an* benches beneathUui archway. Ever) thine looked neat andtrim. The outer gate is before you, i .th animmense iron knocker. I rapped tbe doortwice with tbe knocker. An old man with abrown habit hesitatingly opened It. lie wasapleasaut-ftpoken man. withan Irish brogue.After inquiring my business be preceded meto a second gale, v. l>«-re he n«ng a belL Asecond monk, similarity habited, took chargeof me. I was it. a garden of flowers, sur-rounding a statue of the Virgin. The opendoor of the monastery was beforeme. I was ushered into a parlor ontbe right of tbe ball. It was scantilyfurnished. Itcontained outy four hard dealchairs, a primitive table, and a wooden spit-toon filled with sawdust. The walls were

I bare, with the exception of a placard nearthe door, on whit tbe rules of the b<»u»e hadIn fij printed for the information of those6ceUlnga retreat from the world. Facing thedoor leading into the hall were stairs that ledto tbe upper storks. The silence was sodeathly that 1 almost fancied myself withina tomb.

Presently I heard heavy footsteps comingfrom a distance. They were echoed and re-echoeJ from the u;»|<er ball. They nearedUse tup of the stair*. I saw an aged monkwith Mi cowl drawn over bis bead slowlydescending the step*. He crossed the bailaud made me a graeluus bow. With a strongforeign accent !»<• told me that the Abbotwould be pleased to see me in a few minutes.Again he made a gracious bow, and then dis-appeared through m opposite door. Hemoved bo slow that I noted his pale face,pinched features and bard bony hands. HisHMMWIIo( rough material that lookedlike bagging of a snuff-brown color. H.wore a robe and over that a long strip of tinsame material reaching toMi feet, both barkaud front. Beneath the strip was a blackleather girdle. His feet was bidden in coarse

| bob-nailed brogans.

Iwaited some minutes. Then tbe doorwas reopened and another monk in spotlesswhite came into tbe parlor. His movementswere quick, and he bore himself like a manof business. I asked whether I could seethe abbot. "Iam IBM abbot," be brusquelyreplied, gazing -\u25a0• Tnly into my eyes. I wastaken completely by surprise. He war by no

' means my beau ideal of an abbot. I hadI pictured in my mind a saintly, solemn and

demure man, but I found out very soon thathe was sharp, quick and observant, andthoroughly conversant with the manners andcustoms of the outside world. His accentwas French. I soon taw that be wns highlygifted and very clever. A large wooden cru-

| cifix attached to bis neck by a cord was stuckin bis belt, and on one of bis fingers bewore a huge VOOiea ring. I explained theobject of my mission. "It is a favor veryseldom accorded to strangers," he said.•Tin- monks arc all at work. But as you

; have come a great distance, and might per-| haps feel a bitter disappointment, I will sendone of them to escort youthrougb the house."

I thanked him and he retired. la a fewminutes another monk dressed in white ap- :peared, saying "Follow me." I did so. Wewent out into the hall and through a long

I corridor, stopping before a large door. Themonk opened ItMMI Invited me to enter."You now stand," «aid he, "within the pre-cincts of tbs monastery reserved solely fortut- monks." I had been heretofore in theouter or stranger's apart uientr-. With;', thesewalls all the monks were dressed In white.Tbi-y were the great friars. Those dressed inbrown were only lay brothers. 1 now stoodwithin \u25a0 vast hall, with numerous doors.

I The walls were hare, the doors unpointed,and everything had a cold and deathly ap-

j p.-:iran (\u25a0<.\u25a0. Tbe ecbo of my footsteps Inspired;me witb awe. I thought bow terrible itj would be if 1 was compelled to spend my lifetime in such a place. It seemed worse than

I a prison.

Sadden one of the an painted doors wastpcueU. A young monk entered and passedlo«rn the ball. 11.- smiled and bowed verypo-it.lv as ha 6 wept by us. Many a man of thecorfJ would give much to be able to make so•xquisite a bow. My guide passed on and'|n-iic.i a door at the other end of the hall.rtiere I saw many mouks dressed in white,vorking in the open air at various trades,some were farming and others feeding hens,lucks and geese. One was grooming alorsc, another was blacksmllblng, and aliird was shoving a plane at a carpenter'sable. Allwere busy, but not a word was\u25a0jH.ken. They smiled*, however, and madeiigns that were readily understood. TheyMMMdto be contenU-d" and happy. Tbeirbright, fresh faces and the remarkable white-ness oftbeir teeth impressed me.

We rcenUjred tbe ball. Mv guide Informedme that the life of these Mas* was one ofalmost perpetual silence. They never spokeexcept when reciting the unices of thecbun-b. On opening another door we de-scended to the kitchen. The first thing Isaw was a large pile of vegetables. An oldmonk stood at a tattle with Kales weighingvegetables and triangular little pics of blackbread thai rattled in tin- scales like stones.He was measuring the prescribed quantity offood for each monk. For ninemonths in each year the monkslive on this breap and itmade fromthe vegetables. Even this fare Is reducedfor the other three months, when they eatonly two meals a day. Itseemed ircipossiblethat men could live to be so old on such sus-tenance. 1 saw one monk at least ninetyyears old, and several past fiftyand all lookedfresh and healthy.

We pa.«scd4nto the refectory. 'It bad nochairs. It contained simply a long dealtable set with tin plates and wooden bowls.Ascending again 1» the corridor, I was ush-ered into the cloister. The little latticedcells opened on a square court, with a smallgarden. The cell* were empty at that hour.They looked. bare and desolate. Passingthrough the. cloister we entered the chapelby way of tin* sacristv- ' Tbe vestments wereof the plainest description. We entered thasanctuary. Tbe flooring, the altar and therailing were of carved wood t the work of amonk. Tbe chapel was dlvi.ted by a longblack curtain, which shut the lay brothersend others oil from the professed friars dur-ing a part ofthe mass. This curtain reachedfrom Uie celling to the floor.

We next visited the upper story. The In-firmary was empty. In the tailor shop wefound two monk- sitting by a window repair-ing the garments of their brothers. Thecostumes to be repaired were docketed andpigeonholed. We next came to thedormitory. 1 It was ' a Jong room,In ' which each bed was biddenby curtains.' They looked like portable cells.They were so small that you could hardly turnaround in them. The beds were very smalland very hard. They seemed to be menboards covered with quilt*. The pillows weneven harder than the beds. No man fond o:ease could He on one of these beds all nighwithout a stiffback in tbe morning.

From the dormitory tbe monk conductedme to a room reserved for my use, for, \u25a0

then was no train back that day, I bad beefinvited to remain ail night. He gave me idescription oflifein the monestery. It is ilifeof silence, mortincaUon and penanceThere Is no recreation. The monks retire a7 p. m., and arise at 2 a. m., when their da;

open*. Their time Is constantly taken upeither in prayer or manual labor. 'Throughprayer God gives us strengnth," Mid myguide, "and make* the TrappUt one of themost contented and happiest of men."

To reach my room we vent through a ' partof the building called the hotel." In pass-ing through the corridor I saw monograms,crests and arms, and other insignia over thedoors. Iwas told that these rooms shelteredwealthy gentlemen, who, while not wishingto become monks, had retired from theworld.

My bed was not much better than those inthe dormitory. All the utensils were ofeither wood or tin. The good monk snowedme the refectory for visitor*, and said thatthe bell would ring when dinner was ready.It rang soon afterward loud enough toawaken the dead. I found at the table threeor four old priest*, a few farm laborers and afew boarders. Itwas a solemn repast. Inone corner stood a lay brother, with cowldrawn over his bead, Intoning from a relig-ious book a monody on death in a sepulchraltone of roice. Two waiters elided aroundthe tables like phantoms" They wore snowyaprons bearing the words ''Hotel Gethsem-ane" on them. The guests ate with down-cast eyes and solemn countenances. Thefood was of the coarsest description. Ex-treme cleanliness, however, characterizedeverything.

Afterdinner Isauntered into the garden,and met several old priests who aad come tothe abbey to end their days In peace an 1qui-tu«l«-. Inever spent a more monoto-nous afternoon than in that lonely andcheerless bouse. At 6 o'clock the bellrang fur supper. The fare was precisely thesame as for dinner. Then therewrrc prayers, and at 7 all retired for thentznt.

At 2a. m. I beard the faint tinkle of abell. Itwas the signal for the monks toarise. Ihastily dressed myself and foundmy way to the chapel. The friars were chant-ing the morning service in the dimly lightedchurch, while the outside world was buriedin sleep. No organ or other musical instru-ment was beard. Tbe only music came fromthe ihrout of man. It sounded like the low,plaintive wail of worn out men. ThesechanU, with occasional prayers,were contin-ued for four hours. The monks stood mo-tionless an statues all the Ume,nritfaer kneel-ing nor sitting. Itwas apparently a mosttrying ordetd.

Such is the life that these holy men lead,day in and day out, unliT the day arriveswhen their cowls are drawn over their deadfaces, and coffinWs, they are laid to rest.The world may be fullof sham and hypoc-risy, but there seems to he none of it atnoog

the Trappists. If"any man wants to learnthe solemnity oflife and the value of time,let him go to a Trappist monastery.

Mi l.nrrain-.[St. Loai« Chronicle. |

"Clarence, who is that girl. She is a per-fect beauty." The speaker, Percy Anderson,a tall, handsome young man. stood upon thepiazza of lot Ocean boose at Long Branch

\u25a0'She is Miss Lorraine. She is here ascompanion to Mrs. Lansing."

"Only a companion," mused Percy."What a pity 1 If»he were worth a hundredthousand I would marry her to-morrow. SheIs a girl who could do honor to even anAnderson."

"It generally takes two to bind a bargain;no doubt Miss Lorraine would have tome-thing to say in the matter."

Clarence Leslie frowned, snd there was aring of displeasure in his strong, manlyvoice.

Seated in an open window, near which theyoung men stood, but concealed from viewby heavy curtaius, was Mrs. Lansing; shehad heard all their conversation and lost notime in relating Itto Ethel Lorraine whenthat young lady entered the room.

She was * proud, sensitive girl, and hereyes flashed as the listened.

It is a year later, and Mrs. Lansing andMiss Lorraine are again at Long Branch.Clarence Leslie and Percy Anderson are alsothere. The latter, however, had quite fjr-gotten Miss Lorraine until he saw her in theevening with Mrs. Lansing in a little crowdin the large parlor. Clarence Leslie was oneof the crowd, and Percy made bis way to-ward them to be introduced. She rose,smilingly, graciously, her soft white dressclinging closely to her shapely form. Therewere violets in the lace of her throat, andviolets in the loose, low-coiled hair. Hereyes were clear, brave, tender, her face onethat changed with every thought but wasever pure and true.

The summer passed, and one night, whenthe season was almost ended, Ethel Lor-raine stood upon the balcony in the moon-light, listening to the roar and moan of thewaves.

Percy Anderson found her there, lookinglike some still, restful picture; but she turnedwith her old smile as he spoke:

"Miss Lorraine, Ihave wanted to*see youalone, and this is my first opportunity. Youmust know what it is I have to tell you, forno man can be with you without learning tolove and respect you. Will you make mehappy by saying that you will be my wife!"His face was pale with the great passionwhich thrilled his soul; his eyes were burn-ing and bright as they searched her face forone tender look, and his hand closed uponhers with a grasp almost fierce; but she waslooking away from bis face and out at thevery seaiUelf as she answered, slowly:

"You would not wed a poor companion!"All the scorn and subdued feelings of

those twelve months rang out in the clear,proud voice:

"I do not care ifyou"are poor. Iwantyoupenniless, for I have enough for both; and,even IfI bad not, I would work for you,dearest; only tell me Ican, Ethel."

"Let m*repeat your words of a year ago.Let me show you bow well I remember.You said of Ethel Lorraine, Mrs. Lansing'ssupposed companion : 'Wore she worth ahundred thousand) Iwould marry her to-morrow.' lam worth It, and was at thetime you made that remark. lam not Mrs.Lansing's paid companion, but her nieceand heiress. Ithas always been my desireto be loved for myself alone, and not for mymoney; and t > that end my aunt and selfcame from England here, and Ito be knownas her companion. A year ago I shouldhave considered yonr offer to me to-night,but now I am only sorry that any one shouldsuffer through caring for me."

The sweet, earnest voice was silent; thewaves moaned and robbed on the sand be-low like some doomed, hopeless soul, andthe music floated out to them wild and sweet—dying in a crash and wail of anguish.• 'Is there no hope 1 Will you not forgivemy foolish, mercenary words I Ob, Ethel, letme live for you, and prove my lore by a life-lon c devotion."

She turned from him with a sad, pale face,and a look of pain in her ca!m blue eyes:then very softly, with a world of saddenedtenderness in her voice:

"Icannot be your wife; lam engaged toClarence Leslie; we have loved each otherfora long time."

This la largely in excess ofthe averageNovember fire waste since the Boston fire in1872. Thus far, this year, the eleven months'iirvloss is computed to be $101,000,000 withDecember still to be beard from —and yet the

! waste by fire in 1884 is some $10,000,000 inexcess of previous average record. Therewere 172 November fires whose reported loss

The Priests. I

[Philadelphia Xews. |An Italian known as John B:>thenl has

«en for the last two month* an inmate ofhe urrvoua ward of the Philadelphia Ilospi-al at Block ley. He has*been treated for par-ial paralysis of the right side by Dr. Mills,nd having sufficiently recovered Is about to Itndergo an operation for cataract Corapat- :lots who knew Lira in bis native country '.nd to whom he has revealed himself. tk-lare that the name Bothini Is assumed, andhat bis real name is Carra, and that he isnnnlererof an Itailian nobleman.

Charles V., Duke of Parma, absolute rulerifUk city and province of Parma, In North-rn Italy, was assassinated March 27, 1534.rbe assassin was Antonio Carra, a formernember of the Carbonari, and the friend of•"cllce Orsini and Giuseppe Mazzini. It ishis man that Italians identify in John Bo-bini. To those whom be can trust with bisircret BJlhini. it is said, will confess hisdentity. But shrewd and cunning as henaturally U,be is reserved with new acqualn-Jtuces, even when presented to him by bismost intimate friends. Nevertheless, be isever willingto speak of the assassination. butnarrates the story in such a manner that theclosest observer would not for a moment sus-pect him of active participation.

Bothini Is now seventy-two years oldThough recently stricken with paralyses,from which be is slowly recovering, he doesnot appear more than sixty. He is still wiryrigorous and active. He is, like the major-ity of bis countrymen, below the averageheight. His bronzed features bear au ex-pression of inflexible determination and evi-dence strong will and power. His face isclean-shaven, with the exception of a heavy,martial mn*tacht*. which, like his thick hair,Is of Iron gray. When the name of the Dukeof Parma was mentioned his brow darkenedas be said :

"Yes; Iknew him. He was a coward —avillain—a brute."

After he bad said this the cloud passedaway as quickly as it had gathered and Mlcountenance bore an expression of serenityin remarkable contrast to that which it hadborn a moment before.

"Iwas in Parma when the Duke was kill-ed," he said in answer to a further question,"and can tellyou all toe circumstances."

"la response to a request to relate thestory, which no one has yet bad the oppor-tunity to incorporate in history, he proceed-ed as follows:

"The Duke was killed In 1352. I think. Idon't remember the date exactly, but it waswintertime. The man who did it was An-tonio Carra. Iknew him well. He wasabout my height and bad a mark on hi*neck. Ho was a saddler by trade, but gavea good deal of bis time to the Carbonari andthen to 'Young Italy,' the society that was torevive the ancient glory of Italy by the re-establishment of a republic and the consoli-dation of the petty principalities and duch-ies. • t .\u25a0

"Iwas in the society with Carra. Mazziniwas the president. I was his friend andknew him well. A nobler spirit I neverknew. Iknew Orsini also. A month afterthe Duke was killed Orsini caused the peo-ple in Parma to rise in rebellion. The movement was crushed, however, and manybrave, pure and noble spirits found an earlygrave because they loved their country bet-ter than themselves.

"The duke was a Bourbon, the most crueland savage of his name, a brute in bis pas-sions, overbearing in his disposition, a devilin bis temper. He ruled with a rod of iron,hoping to crush the spirit of his people, but,thank God, he never succeeded Perhapsyou will understand why he acted as he did.There was a revolution in 1848, when Charles11. was driven out. In 1849 the family wasrestored, but Charles 11. resigned the crownto bis son, Charles 111. The new duke feltthat the only way to retain power was to grinddown his subjects. The people were inclinedto allow him an opportunity to become apopular governor, but their spirit rebelled athis persecution.

"The Duke Charles was grossly immoraland consequently bated religion. He alwayscarried a horse-whip and when he met apriest he would whip him until be was tired,and curse him. His actions towards hispoorer subjects was similar. Th!» led 'YoungItaly' to resolve on bis death. Several menwere detailed to kill nim,but all their ingenu-itycould not overcome his precautions, Hewore a suit of armor under his clothes, sothat a pistol bullet aimed at bis body couldnot injure him. And again there was greatdifficulty in approaching him as he was al-ways accompanied by a body-guard.

"At last Cam was detailed to accomplishwhat a dozen others had failed to do. Hewas determined to kill the duke, but knewthat to succeed be must a different plan ofoperations from any of bis predecessors.Carra procured a triangular file and sharp-ened it to a • fine point. He steeped the in-strument in gallic .—. \u25a0-» sbr»Ht a week, sothat in case it wounded the duke blood-poi-soning would ensue. He next procured asuit of clothes, the fabric of which was soprepared that ittore when even slightlypulled.

"Everything was now ready and so heselected a place to lie in wait for the duke.For several days he remained at bis post, un-tilat last the desired opportunity arrived.The duke approached,- accompanied by bisminister and surrounded by bis guard. Thepeople gave him plenty of room, dreading tomeet him lest they should incite his anger bytheir very appearance. Carra stepped outfrom bis ambush. He held the file in bisband and prepared to inflict the death-blow.The undertaking was one of great peril, butthough his heart beat wildly bis courage didnot fail him. The duke was now within a fewyards. Carra suddenly rushed at him andbefore any one could Interfere to prevent it.stabbed him with the poisoned file in thegroin, below the coat of mail.

"The duke fell with a loud cry of agonyand a curse. Carra waited for no more. Asbe ran off with all the speed of desperation. ayellof terror and fury burst from the minis-ter and guard. Carra ran on. Nobodystopped him. A few laid hands on him butcould not hold him, as the cloth gave wayand nobody pursued. .

"At last Carra arrived at the city wall. Heran up the steps. Itwas an awful leap tothe ground on the other side as the wall was30 feet high. But it was a matter of life ordeath and be undertook the leap. He alight-ed uninjured, but badly shaken. He did notcare for this, and proceeded through thecountry beyond the city limft#.

"Two hour? later Carra entered the city byone of the five gates. He was immediatelyplaced under arrest.

"Who do you arrest me?" he asked appar-ently astonished.\u25a0 "Asa conspirator and member of "la Giovinl Italia," which has assassinated th(

Duke of Parma!""After being kept in prison for tw<

months Carra was liberated, as there was noproof against him. He then came to Amerlca and sent a letter to the authorities at Par

ma avowing that he bad assassinated -thduke and that all the other persons charge

v«re innocent. He was never extradited,however, for the detective* could not nndhim, as he had assbmed a new name."

The speaker was riskily circumspect undercross-examination and would make do ad-mission as to bis participation in the crime,bat that the story be told with such attentionto detail was his own, a dozen or more Ital-ians la Philadelphia know as a fact.

Tried a* m Common Scold.

(Pittsburgh Special to Philadelphia Press.]

To-day, for the first time in the history ofAlleeheny county, and at least for thirtyyears in the history of the state, a womanwas tried as a common scold. The defend-ant in the case tried in the criminal courtwas Ellen Fish pan, a resident of PleasantValley, and Amelia Eountz, a member of !the Salvation Army, was the prosecutrix. !The witnesses for the prosecution were near-ly all members of the Salvation Army andthey testified to very much the same things.The trouble all grew out of the capture of ascratching ben by Mrs. Sullivan. The benwas said to belong to Mrs. Fishpan, who wastold to take it home or its head would bechopped off. The fowlreally laid eggs forMrs. Kountz. and Mrs. FUbpan, who Is ofthe Catholic faith, it appears, becoming verymuch incensed at the things said and doneby Mrs. Kountz and other members of theSalvation Armyagainst her happiness andpeace of mind, denounced them in the com-munity. The jury, after bearing the testi-mony on both sides, concluded that Mrs.Fisbpan was not guilty and rendered a ver-dict to that effect and divided the costs.
