He was conscious the result was s lsment~ able failure. But Lord Ileatherbloom did not observe it. His mind was com- . plately taken up with what be had himself to say. You remember that it was principally Riddcll's evnlence which cmdenmed Floss; well, I am going to say a thing which sounds extraordinary about an old and valued scrvsns. I begin to think lliddell Herself wok tne diamonds, and very cleverly threw the suspicion on Floss." “Ah I" was all George's comment; would Lord Heatherblocm have under- stood, it meantâ€"“You're on that old track, are. you?

Nevertheless he was puzzled by the dry tone in which the (-j iculation was uttered. ’ “ You think it very improbable?" he said. “So did I at firstâ€"no: only lm- probable, but impossible. Yet. after sll, it is easier to bedsve it of old Ridlcll than of Floss." “One Would say so indeed I” said George, by a great effort, speaking with tolerable naturslness. His heart was heavy as lead at the thought of how short a time ago he would have agreed vehem- ently to this. “ Mills came to me a any or two ago here in the study, and began by bursting into tears I saw she had worked herself up to Buying something, so I waited to hear what it was.

Well, I applauded Mills for I telling me anything that came to her 1 knowledge ; but I did not think much of ‘her information. Soon afterwards, how-l . ever, Riddell herself came to me and told Ime the same storyâ€"that she had had a 3small fortune left to her, and that she proposed to take a holiday for the rest of her natural life. I thought I might ven- l ture to ask who left her the fortune.

The engine of the freight struck the caboose of the extra train, telescoped it and then struck an oil-tank 6st, of which there were four attached to the extra. An explosion im- mediately followed, and the wrecked car and burning oil were thrown over and down from the high bridge to the street below.

She was 21 ycsrs old, and her death, which occu:red on Wednesday, followed close upon ihat of her cichiecu-ymr-old sister, Linda ChurlotteBlrmiughsm, who died a week previous The two young ladies were the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Mark Birmingham, who' reside in a handsome house overlooking the bay, and surround- ed by well-kept. grounds. The property includes nearly fifty acres, sod is one of the finest on the island. Mr. Birming- ham was formerly the owner of is gold nine in California. He he: retired from all bueincss. The sisters were inseparable oom- psuions from their earliest. childhood. Their attachment often caused comment. They were educated with the utmost care at their home, and in each was developed a fuels for music sndpsinting. Erich had a fine voice, the Soul]ng sister singing soprano and Miss Lily singing alto. Al- though delicate iii appearance, they were always in good health. They went little into society, but had a large circle of friends. On the Tuesday preceding her death, Miss Linda was taken ill with pneumonia, viewed by exposure. The disease soon took a strong hold upon her system. She ssnk repic’ ly, and on Saturday night It was known that there was no chance for her recovery. Her sister never left her bedside until she died. and on the follow- ing day she also was compelled to take to her bed.

She knew she was going to die, and told her sister she was coming to her. To her mother she said it was growing light. Her parents and relatives stood bus do her awestruck. A little later she died. On chdnesday, two days after Miss Lin became ill, the funeral of Miss Linda took place. NE‘VS ITEMS.

Capt. C. T. Cutler of Clarion Mills, Ps., purchased a ticket for Uumhs at r. railroad ticket ofli_c in New York. “The: ticket,” ssid he, “is for a man who for twenty years has believed him- self to be a murderer fleeing from justice, and whose friends, on the other hsiid, hsve for twenty years thought he was the victim of the man whom he liinistlf be- lieved he had murdered. His mime is Alexander Beer. and it was only a few weeks Ago that he found out he was not. a murderer. “Bscr worde for me in 18.63. II’) was paying attention to it girl named llnthn- way, and 1 think they were cugagtd it) be married. She was ii servant st Illt'. lumber-men's boarding hi use. In the full (f that yecr a good looking young Scotchmsu by the name nfGruy Cameron came to my mills to work. Ilc belonged somewhere in Steuben county, New York. He soon cut Aleck Beer out with the Hathaway girl, and the result was that the two became bitior enemies They worked in the same logging camp, "One day in the winter of ISM, Conn eron came to the settlement with n bloody face. He said that lie and Brier had got into u‘qusrrel over the, Hathaway girl, and but come to blows. Brier had knocked him senseless with :1 club, and when he came to himself he was un- able to find his rival. Beer had not up. poured in the settlements, and was not seen again about any of the camps. As Beer had nearly $200 due him from our company, and lied left $100 in his trunk at the boarding-house, his disappearance had an air of mystery about it that puzzled us. The suspicion was pretty general that in the fight between him and Cameron, the Scotchmaii had killed his rlvel, and fearful of the consequence», lied secreted his body. Cameron was aware of these suspicious, and t fl'crcd to pay for the fullest investigation of the affair, and all the expense-s of ii search for the whereabouts of the missing lum- bcrmun. He employed an officer to fol. low every possible clue he could find that might lead to the clearing up of tie mystery, butnothing could be learned. When the ice broke up in the spring some boys who were fishing for suckeis in the north branch of the river were at- tracted by a peculiar-looking object that came along withsome ice, and they draw it into the shore with e pike pole. 0n dragging it out they saw that it was the helf-clothed body of'a men. They hur- ried to the lumber camp and told the man at work what they had found. The llJBll was entirely missing from the face nnd head of the dead man, and recognition of the features waslmpossiblc. There were remnants of ii plaid coat, or jacket, on the body. Alexander Beer was ' the only one in the region who had worn such a cost. The plaid was mst by broad stripes of green and black. An inquest was held, at which the remains were do- clarod to be those of the missing lumber- man. The finding of the dead body aroused anew the suspicions that ho had been killed by Cameron. The verdict of the Coroner s jury was that the man had come to his death in a. manner unknown. “Beer’s friends demanded the arrest of Cameron. A warrant was issued and Cameron ran away. Evciy one then be- Ileved he was guilty of Beer’s murder. He was pursued and captured, but. while he was being taken to the county seat he escaped from the officer and was never rc- captured. It was believed that he on- listed in the arm , and D. soldier in tho Sixty-seventh onnsylvsnis Regiment sent home the news in 1866 that he had seen the dead body of Cameron among those wliohsd died in Libby prison. At all events nothing else was ever heard of the alleged murderer, and the incidents connected with the tragedy were gradu- ally forgotten. “A few days ago a stranger appeared at the Clarion Mills and asked for me. To my great surprise he told me he was the missing Alexander Beer, and lie suc- ‘ his identity be- yond a doubt.‘ He told n. singular story. He arid that Cameron's version of their fight was true. When he had knocked Cameron senseless with the club, he be- came frightened and tried to revive him. Fsiling in this, he believed he had kill- ed his rival, and, without a thought of anything elsa, fled from the place to es- cape the consequences of his crime. He met on the edge of the camp a man named Perry, who was in the liabic of msking occasional visits Visits to flieluin- ber regions for the purpose of buying {up waste and rugs of all kinds. The man was very drunk. Knowing that if he was advertised his conspicuous plaid cost would lend to his detection. Beer traded It off to Perry for s cast off cost he was wearing. Perry had io‘d Beer that he was going to cross the ice at the eddy above on his wsy to Crotty's Mills. ll 3 had undoubtedly broken through or step- ped into an sir-hole and was drowned, and his body, with the remnsnm of Beer's plaid cost on, was the one the boys found the next If, ring. “er wont. to Pittsburgh, where he enlisted in the army, under uiiaenuioed na . e.
