Alfred Styoat)t. of This City, Loses His Favism la Liverpool. A cablegram was received in this city y- eiteiday afternoon; annonrtcing the death,- in eath,in Liverpool, of Mr. John Black, of Fergus,, partner of Mr. Alfred Stroud, of this city, m the extensive cattle fattening business in the northwestern part of the city. Just a month ago Mr.' Black left this city in charge of a shipment of cattle forLondon. The following week Mr. Stroutook a second shipment over, going to Liverpool. ' Mr. Black had disposed of his stook in London and mot Mr. Stroud in Liverpool, and the two gentlemen were to have left for home a week ago yesterday. The announcement o Mr. Black's death was a greateurprise here. No cause is stated. Deceased was in robust health when he left here and felt confident of being very sucoeesfal with the cattle. The venture did not turn out well, the bottom having fallen out of the market by the time the shipment arrived. Mr. Black was one of the pioneers of the cattle trade and was engaged in itvery extensively years ago. In 1881 he met with great re- verses and lost an immense amount of money in the business He was well known in this city, where he spent much of his time, though he lived in Fergus, where he leavens family. HUGH O'DONELL IN TORONTO. ,A Pittsburg despatch says : The coroner concluded his inquest on the seven strikers lama three Pinkerton guards killed during the Homestead, riots, yesterday afternoon, and. after being out an hour. the jury re- ni✓n a rg r: a verdict. The Cele ru a in the soma' of the seven strikers were the same. That of Silas Wain follows : " Silas -Wean, about 24 years old, came to his death on Tuesday, July 6th, 1892, about 8.30 o'clock a. m., while in company with others ° in an unlawful assembly upon the property Of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., steel workers, Muria township, to prevent the landing of two model barges loaded with Pinkerton to protect said property, and he ung struck by a misfile from a cannon, which had been taken by said unlawful as- sembly to the Pittsbnfg aide of the Monon- river, and discharged by them, atnk- g and instantly killing the said Silas Wain ; and we recommend that said lawful assembly be certified to the September session of the grand jury." in the case of the three Pinkerton men the returns were oleo the same. The one Maths death of Connors reads : " That J. 17mnors, aged 30 years, came to his death %the West Penn Hospital from shock and =halation due to a gunshot wound in the leg, which severed the femoral . The wound was received while in a Medd barge employed as a Pinkerton guard lo guard the property of Carnegie, Phipps & steel works, and being shot by a ball from an unlawful assemblage which had assesnbled on said property to prevent the landing of said bargee, and we find that the simot'mg was done by a party or tarries un- Imam,svith felonious intent, and we ',commend the said unlawful aasemblage be .oertii iced to the September session of the grand jury" • No attempt was made by the coroner's jury in each of the ten cases to designate the by whom the fatal shots were fired, than todeclarethat it was an unlaw- ful assemblage on the Carnegie property which led to the battle. A Pittsbnrger to -day received a letter from a friend, who is now in Canada, which ai.ys that Hugh O'Donnell is in Toronto. A Dagnesne, Pa., despatch says : This ming 300 men from Homestead attacked *party. of 60 non-union men as they were e ntering the steel works here to make re- pwirs The mob was armed with clubs and stones, and in the fight foreman of the mill Stsgle and another workman were seriously injured and a dozen others were more or liens hurt. The Sixteenth Regiment is now on the ground, and no more trouble° is ap- prehended. Tivo companies will remain to guard the works. It is stated that all except about 50 of the old men will return to work. WLAKE'$ CREAT SPEECH. The liberal tress .Well Pleased with His rtteraaces. A London cable says : The Hon. Edward ' $'lake's speech at. the Eighty Club yester- day produced a very favorable impression. It had been awaited with great interest because of the expectations aroused by Mr. .Blake's distinguished career in Canada, his arguments 'before the law lords and his =tspeeches in Ireland, and it is safe to say ie most sanguine of these anticipa- tions was fulfilled. The speech is highly wised in the Liberal press as well worthy of the reputation which Mr. Blake has gained as a statesman and orator. The. :Pail Mall Gazette says that one of the most influential among his listeners declared that Mr. Blake had said everything that ought to have been said and nothing" that he ought not to have said. ' This describes admirably the combination of boldness and tact which the speech displayed; The Daly News says that Mr. Blake's grasp of the situation wan firm and thor- ough. The Star says that the speech more than fulfilled the expectation of an authori- tative revie of the inner working of Home Rule. The Times, however, makes a severe Criticism, and says that Mr. Blake has no real acquaintance with the problem he iuruorted to treat of. At the best he was nt humorong in his speech. When Mr. ,Blake was referring to a possible rejection of the bill by the House of Lords he quoted the proverb : " It is time enough to bid the weevil good -morning when yon meet him."

Five Encroaching Russians Captured by the Ameer's'idoldiers. A Simladespateh to the London Terns says: It is reported that a collision has taken place between the Russians and Afghans at Somatash and Keshilkool, five Russians being killed and sixteen captured. The Afghans, it is said, refused to release the prisoners; declaring that in future they would neither give nor take quarter. The party probably consisted of Kirgheez offi- cered by Russians. A despatch from Simla says it is stated there that four or five Russians, whowere captured in collisions with the Afghanistan troops in the Hamra country, have been sent in chains to Cabal, the capital of Afghanis- tan. The serious position of affairs in Afghan- istan has decided the Indian Government to send Gen. Sir Frederick Roberts at the head of a large detachment to meet the Amcor at Jellelabad. The mission will be accom- panied by a political agent, but the main object is a conference to arrange plans to strengthen the Ameer against internal fends and Russian advances. TO HELP THE WOMEN.

WHAT KILLED CHAPMAN? A Thornhill Sensation Which May Tarn Out to be a Murder. A Toronto report says : John Chapman, a young man well connected in the neigh- borhood of Thornhill, had been living for a long time pant a life of recklessness, spend- ing the greater part of his time in drinking among the saloons Last Friday evening he got into a scuffle with some of his boon com- panions outside of the Skardon hotel. The proprietor of the hotel went out and found Chapman lying on his face in the road. He removed the Man, who was quite insensible, into his barn, and, concluding that he was drank, stretched him, with the assistance of others, in a box -stall. Early the next morning Skardon found the unfortunate man still insensible, andfor the first time he noticed a wound in his head, from which blood was oozing. Dr. Langstaff was called in, but Chapman did not recover Consciousness, and on Mon- day he died. There is much excitement over the matter, and the facts of the case have been placed in the hands of Mr. H. 1L Dewart, Crown Attorney, and an inquest is ordered to be held this afternoon at Skar- don'a hotel THE OATU-TAKING. The Members of the British Commons Sworn in Yesterday. A London cable says : The proceedings of Parliament yesterday were of a routine nature and devoted to swearing in of members and choosing of seats. When the Hoose adjourned 343 members had been sworn in and had signedthe roll. It was a good day's work and was devoid of the solemnity sometimes associated with the oath -taking. A number of the members simply affirmed. Several Quakers and Jews a• JUST IN TIME. A Wedding which Met with& Temporary, The Silence of the Plains. (From " The Great Plains of Canada," in the August Century.) We speak of darkness which can be felt.' Similarly we may speak of silence which can be heard, and this is another impressive ele- ment of an experience of the plains. On the sea, except in calm and in the forest and among the places off human habitation, there is always sound, even at night ; but on the treeless plains, in the midst • of normal activity, there is silence as of the grave. Even a hurricane is comparatively inaudi- ble, for there are no waters to dash, no forests to roar, no surfaces to resound, while the short grasses give forth no per- ceptible rustle ; and there is something awful in the titanic rush of contending natural forces which you can feel, but can- not see or hear. The wind may, sweep away your breath on' a current of sixty miles an hour, and the clouds may rush through the pkyy as in a tor- nado, but no sounds confound the ear. A winter blizzard, which carries on its frigid breath destruetion to life, which binds the eyes, andwhich drive's the particles of ice and snow with cutting force against the frozen cheek and through all but the heaviest fur clothing, is comparative inaudible, and the traveler appears to himself to struggle vainly with an implacle, ghostly force which fills the whole creation. When, also, nature is undisturbed in tranquil summer mood, and the sky is blue and flecked with fleeey clouds floating far aloft, all sound seems to have died out of the world, and a mantle of silence enfolds everything. Partaking of the predominant natural sentiment, man be- comes silent also ; he ceases to talk to his mates and becomes moody and taciturn. The merry song of the voyager, re-echoing between wooded shores, the shout„thejok of the cheerful traveler here are stilled— stifled yon might almost say—by the im- measurable • muffle of silence. Here are • no woods to give back the answering shout, and the crack of the rifle is insignificant. The cry of the passing wild -fowl in the darkness, as you lie awake in your tent at midnight, comes to you with a weird, faint, far -away sound as if heard in a dream, and even the rare thunder breaks impotentlyon the con- tinent of silence. If a comrade is lost, and you wish to make some sign to direct himto the camp, no noise whichyou can make with voice or firearms will be of any avail, for such noises will penetrate only a few rods at farthest. By day the only resource is a flag on some elevation or a smoke of burning grass ; by night rockets must be'sent up as at sea, or, if these have not been provided, fire -brands from the camp -fire may be thrown upwith some hope of success. No one can know, until he has experienced it, the longing which takes possession of one who has been for weeks practically sep- arated from speaking men, once more to hear the sounds of common life, the roar of the city streets, the sound of bells, and even the crowing of the cock in the early dawn.

HE followed him all day long like a little dog. If , he ran, she ran, fell and scrubbed her knee!, cried and was lifted up again. Thus it went on from the week's beginning to its end. He grew tired of her, and would have liked to run away from her. But he did not dare, for she was his maeter'a daughter, and he was—well, there was the rub—he did not know who he was. He woke up one day and found himself born. The sky was above him, and there would have been earth beneath his feet if he bad not pointed them in the wrong direction. He was christened in a random way, Ola, and was put on the parish, as they say. Jeus Oeatruo took him as his share of the parish burdens. ` When he was six years old he could be made useful enough to earn his food and shelter. Jens Oeatruo then wanted to send him away, but his little daughter Birgit' was so fond of him that he decided to keep him. When OIa was 12 years old he could kick a cap from a nail high above his. head. Birgit was so fond of Ola that everythinghe did seemed admirable. Once she said a bad word and OIa was whipped for it. So Ola was sent to the mountains ; he roamed with his alpine horn over the wide mountain plains, ate berries, caught fish, set traps and was happy. He hardly thought once of the little girl down in the valley. One day late in the summer she came up to the dairy with her mother. She was carried up en horseback in a basket. When she saw him she flung herself down upon the grass and screamed with delight. But when her mother had reached the but she ran up to him and hugged him. While the cattle were being milked he went to • look: after his things. She followed him, proud in the thought that he tolerated her. " Look here," he cried, lifting up a brown hare, "isn't that a .big fellow?" " What is it ?" she asked. " It is a hare." " No, it isn't a hare. A hare is white." " It is brown in summer. It changes ha akin." •' Has he two skins, one inside the ether?" Instead of answering he took his knife and cut the hare's skin. " No," he raid, ".he hasn't got more's one." The time came when he had to go to the parson to prepare for confirmation. It so happened that she went the same' year. But, though he had a coat now, it was a oast -off one of Jens Oesturo's, which *as much too big for him. His boots, too, and his trousers had seen better days before they made his acquaintance. lie walked aside from the rest ; his ears burned when any one looked at him- But if any one dared to mock him, he used a pair of fiats which inspired respect. He was a handsome enough lad and finely made, but his clothes and his frowsy hair made him look ugly. Heavy thoughas came to him, and a fierce, defiant spirit was kindled Within him. It was at such a time, that Birgit sought him and spoke kindly to him. " Youlnustn't mind the girls," she said ; " they laugh at everything. They don't mean anything by it. It's just a. way they have." " Somebody will come to harm if you ever do it," he answered, fiercely. "That is foolish talk," she gently remon- strated. " I know you too well, Ola. You wouldn't harm me," " Ah, you don't understand me," he said. " It is no use talking." " Oh, yes, I do understand you, Ola," she replied, with a smile " and I' wish you. would let me say one thing to yon before I go." " Say it." I wish—"I wish. she stammered, while a quick blush sprang to her cheeks. " No, I think I won't eay it after all," she finished and turned to go. " Yes, say it," he entreated, seizing her hand. "Well, I—I wish you could do as the hare, change your akin." She drew her hand away from his and'ran down the hillside, so that the stones and dry leaves flew about her. That night he picked a quarrel with Thorger Sletten, who was said to be atten- tive to Birgit, and he thrashed him. Allthe following winter he kept watch of her from afar, and picked quarrels with everybody whom she seemed to favor. "°Change my skin," he pondered. "Change my skin. like the hare. How, oh, how can Ido it ?" This thought followed him dayand night. One day, in tbe spring, an emigrant Chip bound for America appeared at the mouth of the river. Ola packed together his few traps and went up to Oestruo's to say good -by. He met Birgit in the birch grove behind the barn. It was the time when the buds were bursting and the swallows had just returned. " Well, .Ola, where are yon going ? " she asked, as she saw him coming with bundle and staff in hand. "To America." " America! " sbo cried. " America !" The answer seemed to frighten her. She turned pale and caught hold of a birch tree for support. lie watched her nar- rowly. " What aro you going to do in America, Ola?" she asked softly. " Change tasty skint," he replied with a vigor that startlei her. " And if I come back within five cars with a changed akin will you promise to wait for me?" " 1 promise," si:e whispered, quietly upon his shoulder. s * * , Blinded With Acid a Husband, Who Had in f h urs n the condition o her Degraded Her. liver.

Now the master of the ceremonies opened the church doors wide and went to meet the bride and. groom. Ola sat still Iike a rook ; but a a� numbness came over him.

Sens Oestruo stepped forward and spoke. His voice shook with wrath and the veins swelled upon his brow. " Here I am," ho said. " If yon want the girl yon shall fight for her." "Not with you, old man," retorted Ola ; " bat with Thorger I'll fight. Let him come • forward." 394 The bridal guests made a ring on the green and the bridegroom came slowly for- ward. " Hard luck," ho said, " to have to fight for your bride on your wedding day." Fight ? Birt, who in her happiness had been blind and deaf, woke up with a start: She unwound her arms from Ola's neok and stepped up between tha two men. " Oh, do not fight, do not fight !" she entreated,.heldingont her bands first to one claimant and then to the other. " 1Bui know 'father, for when, I have waited for these five years. Yen know whom I have loved since I was a child. But you used force against me and threats. Now he has come baok. I b m no longer afraid of yon." " Whoever will be my weddine guest let him follow," shouted Ola, " for.I have in my hand a royal license to be married to Brigit, Jens Oestruo's da-ighter." " All that money can buy yon shall have," he added. I'll make a wedding the fame of which shall be heard In seven parishes around." He took the bride's arm and marched boldly into the church. The wedding gueste looked at Jens Oestruo, who was venting his wrath upon the groom. " You coward 1" he yelled, "_yon let the girl be snatched away before your very nose.
