news Is now being carefully sifted for
fnkei. So much rubbish has been sent
nut 4liat peoplo are lncedulous of eve-
rything. It was believed that the report-
ed trouble at Jennings was a fake. It
was not. A committee In masks awaited
on Hev. Pearl Itomlne once pastor of
the Baptist church of that place Inst
Friday anight and (routed him to n coat

to Investigate tho character of Brother
Itomlne and wife beg leave to submit

much loss a minister of the gospel; 2nd
We believe his recent Illness was caused
by himself with the Intention to wrong
his wife; 3rd Regarding marriage vows.
Are believe that Sister Itomlne regards
them as acred while he has no regard
for them: 4th Wa believe that his dis-
position (o connect the names of res-
pectful people outside of the church with
this disgraceful affair Is for 'the purpose)
of sealing tho lips of those parties from

noon while Fate Moris and Alllet Mau-
pln were "having a boat ride on G. H.
Holenbeck's uond two and one-half
miles east of towi tne latter met death
from drowning. They were rowing In
and old modules pan for n boat when
the laupln boy asked to be taken to
the shore saying he wanted to. take olt
his clothes und go Into the water. After
taking him to the shore Morris went
hack towards Jhe center of the pond
VoutiK. Maupln undressed and waded out
Into the water and when seen by Moris
was up to his waist In the water. Mor-
ris was giving his attention to the boat
and on looking around again his com-
rade was not In sight but In a moment
came up from under the water having
ctepped Into an offset. As Maupln could
not swim Morris sprang out of the pan
and swam to him but was caught round
the neck by the drowning boy and had
a hard struggle to get loose and' keep
from drowning. Morris swam to the
shore and was so exhausted he dare not
enter the water again but went to Hoi-
lenbcck's house Immediately and called
for help. A party of men soon assem-
bled and the dam ?as cut allowing some
of the water to escape. None of the
party would venture Into the deep water
as they were not swimmers. A. S.
Meeks came and went In and found tho
body. It had been In about eight feet
of water. It was thirty or forty min-
utes before the body was taken out.

STKALING A AVHQLE STORE.
The Tecumseh Republican has the fol-
lowing unusual story: It will be remem
ht-sd by our readers that about "the
first of this year we published an ac-
count of the failure of the dry goods and
clothing establishment of A. C. Pick
ens. In this city. At the time of the fail-
ure several vh-Scsale dry roods and
clothing establishment came In with un
paid oins against .Mr. Pickens and as
a receiver was appointed the stock of
goods in the building was Invoiced
nnd sold to Mr. ltnym of our popular
Racket store. The amount of the In-
voice however old not satisfy the
debts by several hundred dollars and
Judgments were obtained against . Mr.
Pickens nt the last term pf the district
court far the balances due the different
firms. Previous to the failure It was
known that Pickens cnrled n several
trnus.uul dollar stock of goods but at
the Invoice they were "shy" and not ac-
counted for.
Litely Sheriff Dickinson has had thft
privilege of playing the Plnkerton net In
aetective work nnd Joe ana his asistants
have unraveled the mystery surrounding
the disappearance of that Immense stock
of goods In grand shape. They have
found goods stored away all over the
c unty nnd have made several "runs"
on hot trails Into Cleveland county aft-
er loads of the bankrupt stock which
were being taken out of the county on
the double-quick route They have cap-
tured several wogan loads of goods nnd
nt no one place did they get more than
one load they being concealed generally
In small lots at farm houses
l'p to date they have found goods con-
cealed at the following places:
At Garrett Stark's two and one-half
mlls southeast of the city Sheriff
Dlrkerson found concealed In the loft of
his rouse eleven boxes and one cotton
tack of goods.
At eorgo Owens' about eight miles
southeast of.Tecumseh he found two
large trunks and two boxes tilled with
goods.
In the rear end of the Mills defunct
bank In Shawnee he found live trunks
nnd seven boxes of shoes conceal-
ed. At the residence of one Harris In
Shawnee son-in-law of Mr. Schwartz-
burg nnd brother-in-law of A. C. Pick-
ens of this city he found a box of gents
clothing which was ns large as an organ
box.
At D. Kennedy's About four miles
noutheast of this city he found about a
gunny-sack full of gloves and other nr-
tlolcs. Lately John Starrlc son of n. Stark
traded boots nnd several articles to a
Mr. Gentry who Is a neighbor of ths
Stark family for n spring wagon nnd It
Is supposi'd thnt John stole the goods
he traded tram his father's house. The
trada John made soon came to Sheriff
Dtckorson's knowledge njul from this
clue he proceeded to discover the hidden
goods.
We are Informed that previous to Mr.
Pickens' aslgnment he trnded Mr. Sch-
wavtzburg his father-in-law about
$3000 worth of the goods having re-
deemed that amount of notes held by
the old gentleman ngnlnst him.

"Good day Mr. Wentwortti" said the
financier cordially
"Good day" replied George curtly.
"I lime come lo rnd a cable dlspntch
to you or to let you rend It." He
threw the dispatch down before the old
gcutlemnn who ndjustwl his spectacles
and rend it. Then lie looked up in-
quiringly nt Wentworlh.
"You don't understand It do you?"
snld the In! tor.
"I confess 1 do not. ThcLongworth
In this telegrnin does not refer to tne
does it?"
"No it does not refer lo you but it
lefers to ono of your house. Your
nephew. .William Longworth Is n
scoundrel!"
"Ah" said the. old mnn placing the
dispatch on the desk ngnin and re
moving his glasses. "Have you come
to tell me that?"
I
"Yes 1 hnvc. Did you know it be-
fore?" "No 1 did not" answered the old
gentleman his color rising "nnd I do
not know dt now. I know you sny po
nnd I think very likely you will be glad
to take back what joti have said. I
will at least give you the opportunity."
"So far from taking it back Mr.
Longworth 1 shall prove it. Your
nephew formed a partnership with my
friend Kenyon nnd myself to float on
tho London mnrkct a certain Cnnndlnu
mine."
"My dear sir" broke In the old gen-
tleman "I have no desire to hear of
my nephew's private speculatloirs. I
hnvc nothing to do witli them. I have
nothing to do with your mlncj The
mutter is of no interest whatever tome
and I must decline to hear anything
about It. You aret also if you will ex-
cuse my snying so not in a fit state of
temper to talk to nny gentleman. If
you like to como bnck here when you
are cnlmer I shall bo very plensed to
listen to whnt you have to say."
"I shnll never bo calmer on this sub-
ject. I have told you that your nephew
is a scoundrel. You are pleased to deny
the accusation."
"I do not deny It; I merely said I did
not know It vvns the case and I do not
believe it thnt is nil."
""ery well; the moment I begin to
show you proofs that things are us I
say"
"My dear sir" cried the elder man
with borne heat "you nre not showing
proof. Ybu nre merely making nsser-
tions und nssertlons about a man who
Is absent who is not here to defend
himself. If you hnvc anything to bay
against. William Longworth come nnd
suy it when he Is here nnd he shall an-
swer for himself. It is cownrdly of
you nnd ungenerous to me to make o
number of noeiLsntions which I am in no
wise able to refute."
"Will you listen to what 1 have lo
say?"
No; I will not." -
"Then by God you shall!" nnd
with thnt Wcntworth strode to the door
nnd turned tlio key while the old men
rose from his seat und faced him.
"Do you mean to threaten me sir In
my own ofllce?"
"I mean to say Mr. Longworth that
I have iniulri a statement which I nin
going to prove to you. I mean that you
Bhall listen tome and listen to me now."
"And I say if you have anything to
charge against my nephevv come und
bay It when ho is lierc.''
"When he is here Mr. Longworth it
will be too lute to wiy it; a present you
can repair the injury ho has done. When
he returns toKnhuul you cannot do so
irti matter how much you might wish to
muke the attempt."
The old man stood Irresolute for a mo-
ment; then he sat down in his chair
ngnin.
"Very well" ho snid with a sigh "I
am not so combative as 1 once was. Go
on with your story."
"My story is very short" said Went-
worth. "It simply amounts to this:
You know your nephew formed a part-
nership with us in relation to the Cana-
dian mine?"
"I know nothing about it I toll you"
answered Mr. Longworth.
"Very well you know it now."
"i know you suy so."
"Do you doubt my word?"
"I will tell yon more about that when
1 hear what you have to say. Goon."
"Well your nephevv pretending to
aid us In forming this company did
everything to refnrd our progress. Ho
engaged olllces that took a. long time
to lit up nnd which wo had at last to
take a hand in ourselves. Then he left
for n week leaving no oddress und re-
fusing to answer the letters I sent to his
otllco for him. On ono pretext or uu-
other the forming of the company vvns
delayed until nt length when the op-
tion by w hich Mr. Kenyon held tho mine
hnd only n month to run your nephew
went to America in company with Mr.
Melville ostensibly to sec. nnd report
upon the'" property. After waiting a
certain length of time and hearing noth-
ing from him (lie had promised to cable
us) Kenyon went to America toget a re-
newal of tho option. This cablegram
explains his success. He finds ongoing
there that your nephew has secured
the option of the initio in hlsovvn name
and us Kenyon says we nre cheated.
Now have you any doubt whether your
nephew Is a scoundrel or not?"
Mr. Longworth mused for a few mo-nu'nt-s
on what the voung man had told
him.
"If vvhntyou say is exnctly true there
is ho doubt thnt William lias been guilty
of a pleco of very sharp practice."
"Sharp practice!" cried the other.
"You might ns well coll robbery sharp
practice!"
"My dear sir. I have listened to you;
now 1 ask; you to listen to me. If as
I say vv hut you have stated Is true my
nephew has done something which I
think an honorable man would not do;
but as to that I ennnot judge until I
hear his sido of tho story It may put
n different complexion on the matter
und I have no doubt it will; but even
grauting your version Is true in every
particular what havo I to do with it?
1 nm not responsible for mynephcw'!i
notions. He has entered into a business
contcct!on it seems with two young
men and has outwitted them. That is.
probably what tho world would say
about It. Perhaps as you bay he has
THEM
71 e
i m
been guilty of something worse nnd
lias cheated his purtners. Hut even ad-
mitting everything to he true 1 do not
see how lam responsible Innny way."
"Legally you are not; morally I
think yon nre."
"Why 7"
"If he were your son "
"Hut he is not my son; he Is my
nephew."
"If jour son hnd committed n theft
would you not do everything in your
power to counteract tlui evil he had
done?"
"I plight and I might not. Some fa-
thers pay their son's debts others do
not. 1 cannot say whnt nction I should
take In n purely supposititious case."
"Very well all 1 have to soy is our
option runs out in two or three days.
Twenty thousand pounds will secure
the mine for us. J want that 20000
before the option ceases."
"And do you expect me to pay you
JC 20000 for this?"
"Yes I do."
Old Mr. Longworth leaned bnck In his
olllce clinir nnd looked nt J ho young
mnn in nm:i7cnicnt.
"To think that you a mnn of the city
would come to me nnothcr man of the
city with such nn absurd idea in your
hend is simply grotebque."
"Then the name of thcLongvvqrthsis
nothing to you the good name 1
mcun?"
"The good name of the Longvvorths
my denr sir is everything to mo but
1 think It will be nble to tnke cure of It-
self without any assistance from jou."
There vvns silence for n few moments.
Then Wcntworth snld'ln n voice of sup-
picssed anguish: "I thought Mr.
Longworth ono of your family was n
scoundrel. 1 now wish to say 1 believe
the epithet covers uncle ns well ns
nephew. You hnve a chance to repair
the mischief one of your family hns
done. You hnvc nnswured me with con-
tempt. You have not shown me the
slightest Indication of wishing t6 make
amends."
Ho unlocked the door.
"Come now" said old Mr. Longworth
rising "that will do thnt will do Mr.
Wcntworth." Then he pressed an elec
trie bell nnd when the clerk nppenred
he said: "Show this young geutleman
the door please and If he ever- calls
again do not admit him.''
And so George Wcntworth clenching
his hands with rage wns shown to the
door. He had the rest 'of the day to
ponder on the fact that an angry man
seldom accomplishes his purpose.
CHAPTER XXII.
The stormy interview with AVent-
worth disturbed the usual serenity of
Mr. Longworth's temper. He went
home earlier than was customary with
him that night and the more he
thought over the attack the more un-
justifiable it seemedr He wondered
what his nephevv had been at and tried
to remember what Wentworth hnd
charged against him. He could "not rec-
ollect the angrier portions of the in-
terview having ns it were blotted the
charges from his mind. There re-
mained however a bitter resentment
against Wcntworth. Mr. Longworth
searched his conscience to see If he
could be in the least to blame but he
found nothing in the recollection of
'Did be ay" ibe apoka at lengUi. "In what
war -William had doue wronel"'
his dealings with the young men to
justify him in feeling nt nil responsi-
ble for the disaster that had overtaken
them. He read his favorite evening
paper with less than his usual in-
terest for every now and then tho
episode in his ofllco would crop up in
ills mind. Finally ho said sharply;
"Edith?"
"'es father" answered Ills daugh-
ter. "You remember a person mimed
Wcntworth whom you had here the
evening William went away?"
"Yos father."
"Very well. Never invite him to this
house again."
"What has he been doing?" asked the
young' woman in a rather tremulous
voice.
"I desire you never to ask anyone
connected with him that man Kenyon
for instance" continued her futlier"' ig-
noring her question.
"I thought" she answered "that
Mr. Kenyon was not in this country at
present."
"He is not but he will he back again
I suppose. At any rate I wish to have
nothing more to lo with those people.
You understand that?"
"Yes father."
Mr. Longworth went on with his
reading. Kdith saw that her fnther
wns greatly disturbed and she much
desired to know what the .reiibon vvns
but knew enough of human nature
to believe that in o very short time
lie would relieve her anxiety. He again
appeared to be trying to fix his atten-
tion on the paper. Then ho thpivv it
dovv n nnd turned tovvnrd her.
"That mnn Wcntworth" he sold bit-
terly "behaved to-dny in a most un-
justifiable manner to mo in my office.'
It seems that William and he nnd Ken-
yon embarked in some mine project
1 knew nothing of their doings und wim
not ov en consulted with regard to them.
Now it nppears Wllllnm has gone to
America and done something Wcnt-
wdrth considers wrong. Wentworth
enmo to mo rind demanded JC 20000
tho most preposterous thing ever henrd
of said I owed it to clear the good
name of Longworth ns if the good
name wore dependeut on him or any
ono like him. J turned him out of the
ofllce."
Kdith did not nnsvvcr for n few mo-
ments while her father gave expres-
sion to his indignation by -various ejac-
ulations that need not be hero recorded.
"Did he suy" slie. spoko at length
"in what way William had done
wrong?"
"I do not remember novvr just. whnt
ho said. X know I told hlui to corr.e
again when my nephew was present
DA
and then rankc his charges ngnlnsthlm
if ho wanted to do so. Not thnt I ad-
mitted I hnd anything to do with the
matter at all but 1 simply refused to
listen to charges ngaiust un absent
man. I paid no nttention to them."
"That certainly vvns rcnsonoble" re-
plied Edith. "What did he sny to it?"
"Oil he obusod me and nblised Wll-
llnm nnd went on nt n dreadful rate
until I was obliged to order him out of
the ofllce."
"Hut what lid he say about meeting
Wllllnm nt your office nnd making the
charges ngnlnst him then?"
"Whnt did ho sny? 1 don't remember.
Oh yes ho snld it would be too late
then; that they had only n few dnys td
do whnt business they hnve to do and
thnt Is why he mndc the demand for
200001 It wns to rcpnlr the harm
whatever the harm was William had
done. 1 look on it simply ns some blnck-
mulling scheme of his and I nm aston-
ished that a man belonging to ns good
n house as he does should try thatgnmo
with me. I slinll bpenk to the elder
partner abojil It to-morrow nnd If he
does not mnkc the young mnn npologie
In the most nbject manner he will be
tlio loser by it 1 enn tell him thnt."
"I would think no more about it fn-
ther if 1 were you. Do not let it
trouble you In the least."
"Oh it doesn't trouble mc; but young
men nowadays seem to think they can
sny anything to their elders."
"I mean" she continued""thnt 1
would not go to his partner for a day or
two. Walt and sec what happens. I
hnve no doubt when ho thinks over the
matter he will be thoroughly ashamed
of himself."
"Well 1 hope sol"
"Then give him the chnnce of being
nshnmed of himself nnd tnke no fur-
ther steps in the nintter."
Kdith very shortly afterward went
to her own room and there clasping
her hands behind her she walked up
and down thinking with a very
troubled henrt on whnt she had heard.
Her view of the matter was very differ-
ent from that of her. father. She felt
certain something wrong hnd been done
by her cousin. Kor a long time she hnd
distrusted his supposed friendship for
the two young men nnd now she pic-
tured to herself John Kenyon In tho
wilds of Cunnda helpless and despond-
ent because of the great wrong that had
been done him. It was far into the night
when she retired and It was early next
morning when she arose. Her father
was bright and cheerful nt brenkfust
nnd had evidently forgotten nil about
the unplcnsnnt incident of the day be-
fore. A good flight's sleep hnd crnbed
It from his memory. Edith was glnd of
this she did not mention the subject.
After he hnd gone to the city the young
woman prepared to follow him. She
did not tnke her carriage but hailed n
hansom and gave tho driver he number
of Wentworth's ofllces. Thnt young
man was evidently pomewhat surprised
to hce her. He hud been trying to write
to Kenyon some account of his inter-
vluw with old Mr Longworth und
somehow after he had finished he
thought John Kenyon would not at all
approve of his zeal so had just torn tho
letter up.
"Take this chair" he said wheeling
an armchair Into position. "It is tlio
only comfortable one wo have in the
room."
"Comfort does not matter" said Miss
Longworth; "I come to see you about
the mica miue. What has my cousin
done.?"
"How do you know he has done any-
thing?" "That does not matter. I know.
Tell me ns quickly us you can w hat ho
has done."
"Itisnot uvery pleasant story to tell"
ho said '"to a young lady about one of
her relatives."
"Never mind that. Tell me."
"Very well he hns dono tills: He has
pretended he wns our friend nnd pra-
tendedhe vv as going to aid us in forming
this company. He has delayed us by
every menus in his power until the op-
tion has nearly expired. Then ho has
gone to Canada nnd secured for himself
and a mnn named Melville the. option of
the mlncvv hen John Kenyon'stimeis up.
Thnt is to sny nt twelve o'clock to-morrow
when Kenyon's option expires
your cousin will pay the money und will
own the mine; after which of course
Kenyon nnd myself will be out of it. 1
don't mind the loss at all. I would
gladly give Kenyon my share; but for
John it Is n terrible blow. He had
counted on the money to pay debts of
honorvvhichheowesto hlsfnthcyforhls
education. 'He calls them debts of
honor; they nre debts of honor in the
ordinary sense of the word. There-
fore it scepis to me a terrible thing that
that- "'.'re lie paubed und did not go
on. He saw there w ere tears In the eyes
of the girl to whom he was talking.
"It is brutal" he said "to tell you
all this. You ore not to blame for 'it
and neither Is your father although 1
spoke to hlrn in n heated manner yes-
tcrdny." .
"When did you sny the option ex-
pires?" "At twelve o'clock to-morrow."
"How much money is required to buy
the mine?"
"Twenty thousnnd pounds."
"Can money be sent to Canada by
cable?"
"Yes I think so.".
"Aren't you quite sure?"
"No I am not. It can be bent by
telegraph in this country and in Amer
ten."
"How long will it take you to find
out?"
"Only a few moments."
"ery well; where is Mr. Kenyon
now?"
"Kenyon is in Ottawa. Lhad a cable-
gram from him yesterday."
"Then will you write a cablegram
thnt can be sent away at once asking
him to wait at the telegraph ofllce un-
til he gets n further message from
you?"
"Yes. I enn do that; but what good
will it do?"
"Never mind what good "t will dp;
perhaps it will do no good. 1 am going
Ut try to make it of some good. Mean-
while remember if 1 succeed John
Kenyon must never know tho particu-
lars of this transaction."
"He never will- if you say so."
"I say so. Now it is six hours earlier
here tlmn'it is in Canada is it not?"
"About that length of time J think."
"Very well loso no time in getting
tho cable message sent to him nnd tell
him to answer so that we shall bo sura
ho is at tho other end of tho wire
Then find out about tho cabling of tho
money. I shall bo back here I think
about the samo.time you are."
