THEY KILLED

German Prisoners Swear to Truth
of French Char!);e
That Gen. Stenger Ordered All
to Be Slain.
Washington, Oct, 26. --The 'French
Embassy to -day. issued the following
statement:
"Th o report appeared in the press
soma timo ago, according to which
General Stenger, commanding a bri-
gade 01 'tho German army in France,
had issued an order to his troops pres-
eribing to them to finish the wounded.
'"An official statement' from Ber-
3M, via Sayville, was issued thereupon,
declaring that this was an untruth.
"The atrocious order ;lad, neverthe-
less, really been given and carried out,
and proof of it is in the hands . of
the French Government. Over twenty
German prisoners of the 112th and
112nd regiments of infantry (forming
the Stenger brigade) are now held in
France, at Mont Briton and St.
Etienne. They have declared, under
oath, before the Magistrate, that this
order was actually issued on the 26th
of August, and that, in accordance
with It,. all the French wounded found
that day were at once despatched. Of-
ficers, and notably Captain C,urtiug
personalily, of the 112th regiment,

now maw her way clear to draw hen
poor etepdaughter home before re-
vealing her heavy bereavement, "And
you are right in your conjecture, ray

men."
"There! I said so!" axelaimed

jection to go, have you?"
"Oh, none at all. Not the leas,t."
"Then get ready, dear," said Mrs.
Melliss.
Molly called the nurse to bring the
children atter her, and then ran up-
stairs.
"Oh, how fortunate you have been,
Mrs. Melliss, to gain her consent to
go to London without exciting her sus-
picions that anything was wrong, and
without tampering with truth, either!"
said Rachel, as soon as they were
(alt alone.
"Ah, yes, Rachel! But what am
I about to do? To 'keep the word
of promise to her ear, and break it to
her hope.'"
"It seems cruel, Ind unavoidable. She
must be at home before she in told,"
said Rachel.
"Yes, she must. She mast be under
her father's protection, and in reach
of medical assistance; for I warn you,
Rachel, that this great sorrow will go
very hard with both her mind and her
body," sighed Mrs. Mettles.
She had no time to add more, for
just at that moment Molly en epsd,
followed by all her children, the nurse
carrying the youngest baby.
"I was not long, was I? Fortunate-
ly,you see, the children were all
dressed to receive their father. And
I had only to put on their WillpS,"
said, Molly, pleasantly, as she en-
tered.
The children crowded around their
Fairy Grandmother, and,,seized her
hands and skirts, and wanted to know
if she were not going to take them to
Cinderella's palace.
Rachel Wood called them off, and
took them to the brougham, where
they were all, with some difficulty,
crowded in. Mrs. Melliss and Molly
followed the children into the car -
siege.
Rachel Wood and the nurse were
left to shut up the house and to follow
In a hired fly that was to be sent from
the Family Hotel.
The drive back to town was, to the
children and their Mother, a journey
full of glee. The children romped and
laughed and babbled, and jumped and
turabled about over each other and
over their Fairy Grandmother to their
hearts' content.
• And their mother laughed to see
them.
In due time they reached London,
the West End, and finally Charles
street, and drew up before the banker's
residence.
The fly, with Rachel and the nurse,
came up almost at the same mo-
ment.
Mrs. Melliss led her stepdaughter
into the house, and installed her in-
to a handsomely furnished suite of

Charley Is always so considerate in
thee little matters, But you will let

The hour had come in which she
must be told 01 her horrible bereave-
ment, Yet neither the banker nor his
young wiEe could summon courage to
tell her.
She looked from one to the other,
and saw that there was something
'withheld from her knowledge,
"Where is Charley? Why does he
not come in?" she inquired, in a
slightly tremulous tone.
"My dear child, your husband did
not return with me," said the banker,
gravely.
"Not return with you! Oh, why! Is
anything wrong with my dear Mare
ey?" •
"Corae and sit down, my darling," sal -
the banker, leading her to a sofa, and
placing her between himself and itis
young wife.
"Oh! 'why don't you answer my
question? Oh, papa! what is it that
you are keeping from me?" Mid cried,
in a piteous voice.
The banker covered his face with his
hands, and his young wife wept.
"Heaven of heavens! What a you
both mean? What has 'happened'? Is
Charley ill? Is Charley—oh, !eta -heart!
--is Charley—dead?"
Her father took her in his arias and
tried to soothe her.
Her stepmother kneeled down be-
side her and begged her to try to be
calm.
But she declared she knew some
terrible calamity had befallen ]ler, and
she insisted upon knowing -what it
Was,
Then they gently, tenderly told her
the terrible truth.
And here I would willingly draw a
veil over the scene that followea.
Poor Molly had never in her life
possessed the least self-control. And
now she abandoned herselt to the
wildest anguish and despair, ending in
strong convulsions.
Her father laid her on the sofa, and
her • stepmother loosened all her
clothes,
The household was aroused, and a
physician was summoned.
And she was conveyed to bed, and
by medical advice she was put under
the influence of a strong narcotic, that
finally gaze her agonized spirit rest.
The next morning, while the young
widow was still sleeping under the in-
fluence of enorhpia, the body of her
husband was brought to the house and
laid out in the front drawing room.
That forenoon the letters from poor
Faulkner, mailed from Paris by Fitz
-
John, his absconding second, arrived.
Mr. Melliss laid carefully .aside the
letter addressed to his daughter. Then
he opened and read the one written
to himself. And if he had never for-
given poor Charley before he must
have done so now.
On the fourth day, while Molly was
still very ill in bed, the funeral took
Place. Before the coffin was finally
closed, the young widow, at her own
earnest prayer, was lifted, out of bed
and carried to the room wbere the
dead lay, that she might taho a last
look at all that remained of her gay
and handsome Charley.

RY—one In Wholn crime seeneed to be
hereditary and interminable ---the ;ma
of a luau wtho was a confirrited pick:
pocket an4 burglar, who was much
more frequeutly in jail than out of it,
and of a woman who was a mureereee,
and had been tried or her life at that
very court, and had only escaped the
extreme penalty of the law upon the
doubtful plea of insanity, and who was
now expiating her crimes by lifelong
iraprisonistent in the Criminal Lunatic
Asylum:- that this wretened boy had
been a thief from his infancy up to
the present age; that imprudently re-
ceived into a respectable and benevo-
lent family, he had thanklessly and
basely repaid their protection and fos-
tering care by bringing into the house
the band of burglars with whom he
was known to be connected, and by
robbing them of a large quantity of
Plate, Jewele, money and other val-
uable property, and by murderoue as -
molt upon a friend and guest of the
house. And though the- learned coun-
sel for the defense might pretend to
say that his, the prisoner's, hand
never fired the pistol that wounded
Colonel Brierly, yet did the law hold
him guilty of that -demily aesault, in-
asmuch as he was confederated with
the wretches who made it. Ana he
hoped that both judge and jury woad
ao- their duty by panishing with the
utmost rigor of the law a crime that
was known to be fearfully on the in-
crease—and so forth, and so forth, and
so forth.
At the ond ot his' opening sPeeeh,
the counsel or the crown called the
witnesses.
The first who took the Stand was the
*widowed Mrs. Faulkner, wine, weeping*
bitterly, gave her evidtaice regarding
the robbery, which bore very 'heavily
upou tho little prisoner.
The next wiiiiette was John Briggs,
a man who had seen Benny io Qom-
pany with a suspicious -looking indi-
vidual at midnieht on the night of the
robbery. and who had heard the pri-
soner give his comnanion particular
directions how to find and enter the
house. by it door that he, the prisoner,
had left open.
This evidence was still harder on
the little accused. And the severest
cross-examination ot the witness by
the counsel for th.e defense did- not
tend to weaken it in the least degree.
The third witness was Mr. Riley,
who had come to Captain Faulkner's
assistance, and had helped to carry
htloieuseev.ounded Colonel lerlerly to the
He teitified to these facts, and also
to the confused condition of the house,
several of the rooms of which bore
signs of forcible entry, and also the
absence of Benny from the bed where
he usually slept. This wittiest; was al-
so cross-examined without effect.
The last witness was the detective
who arrested the prisoner, and had
found upon his person a little gold
thimble, which was here produced and
identifiedeee the ,property of Mrs.
Faulkner.
When these witnesses had all been
examined and eross-examined, • the
counsel for the crown summed up the
evidence kr the prosecution and called
upon the jury to convict the prisoner.
But then Mr. Freefield, engaged by
Mrs. Melliss as counsel for the ac-
cused, arose for the defence.
Of course, he went over and politely
contradicted all that the counsel for
the cream had stated concerning his
client.
•
He begged the gentlemen of the jury
to look upon that poor child in the
dock, and see if they could find in his
fair face and open brow any signs of
that hereditary depravity and person-
al guilt ascribed to him by the learn-
ed counsel for the crown.
This bo; had been a most unfortun-
ate and pitiable child from his very
birth—a worse than orphan, cast upon
the tender mercies of the thief and
murderees who had brought him up,
and yet who, thief and murderess as
they were,. were much less culpable
than the unnatural parents who had
given this fair child life, and then
abautioned him to his fate.
He would prove that this boy, so far
from being the "monster of juvenile
depravity" he had been called by the
counsel for the crown, had been, from
his infancy up, gentle, obedient, kind-
hearted and generous. Even in still
tenderer years he had 'worked, and
begged when he eould not work, to
support an aged woman and a sick
gillt Would prove that, while the boy
had been in the service of Captain
Faulkner, he had been the affectifene
ate companion and protectorabf the
children but little younger than hint -
self; and that when he left their ser-
vice he did so in fear and horror of
their guest, who had terrified him
with threats; that he could have had
no share in the rebbery with whiela
he stood charged,
He would prove further, that while
the boy was in prison he had been per-,
teeny gentle, docile obedient and
anxious to please. And finally the ad-
vocate said he should confidently ett-
Peet, from the gentlemen of the jury,
the acquittal of his young client.
Then the couneel for the prisoner
called the witnesses for the defenee.
T.here 'were Jeremiah Juniper and
his Wife, Jett Juniper; Riche! Woltal
and Mary Kempton, Vlach, sWorrt and

intimate knowledge of the little prig -

TOO MUCH ',R0sPERITy.
(Kingston 'Whig)
Prosperity has, to some extent, spoiled
some Canadians. They have lived high
and aecustomed themselves to expensive
tastes. It hurts their feelings to have to
adopt economies, became they are real-
ly neeessary. It exalts, however, the
one who is wise and willing to profit by
kind advice. Plain food, plain clothing,
and plain living, generally, benefits all
classes of the people of this particular
time. and the sooner all classes become
reconciled to it the better.
A PATHETIC BLUNDER.
(Woodstock Sentinel -Review)
The most pathetic mIstalce of all. oar -
baps is to speak of the stimulating bless-
ing of war as a law of development. To-
day thero are several millions of men
representing' the picked manhood of
several countries engaged in the "stimu-
lating" exereise of destroying each other
by every means which modern ingenu-
ity can clevitee. The present indications
are that the slaughter may continue for
many months and that the losses in dead
and mined will be appalling. What
criminal follv then to talk of war means
ing the survival of the fittest, It means
the very opposite. it means the des-
truction of •the fittes.

GERMANY'S WEAKNESS.
(Rochester Post -Express)
The weakness of tee German system
is that, while the people are the state
in the sense that they are a unit in its
wars, they have not yet secured the
right of deciding when they will fight
or what they will fight for. An archaic
divine -right autocracy still holds this
Power. but the German people will take
It over at the end or this war.
Gerinany coulo not be overthrown by
any less potent cementations than is
now In arms against her, and could not
be overcome at all if her trnm, ,nea.nt
a forward step for mankind. But does
It? Is it not clear that the principle of
local gel[' -government is steadily gain-
ing ground throughout the world?

GERMAN MILITARISM.
(Philadelphia Record)
According to a writer itt The Army and
Navy Journal who finds /nude to ad-
mire in German militaryism, instead of
It "being something that should be wip-
ed out, it is something that should be
'imitated closely by other nations, not ex -
excepting our own United States." This
probably represents the 'VIM of the pro-
fessional soldier, who doubtless unpon-
sciously, is too often influenced by the
honor and promotions that war brings
to officers. So Inc as the ordinary citi-
zen is concerned, there has-been nothing
in the conduct of the present war that
commends German militarism to him as
something to be imitated in this coun-
tny.

large reward by devising a ponderous

The flame lights up the country for

that upward of 2,000,000 barrels of oil
have been burned.
It is considered probable that this great
well will go the way of the famous Dos

was a world-beater. It was owned 4oint-
ly by Lord Cowdray and associates and
the Pennsylvania Oil company, st was
at Dos Boras, about 60 miles south of
Tampico, and had an estimated flow of
about 100.000 barrels of oil a day, It
caught fire from live coals under the
