With the bush before the prayer;

Of the organ stirred the air.
Without, the sweet pale sunshine:
Within, the holy calm.
Where priest and people waited
For the swelling of the psalm.
Slowly the door swung open,
And a little baby girl,
Brown eyad, with browu hair falling
In many a wavy earl,
With soft cheeks Hushing hotly,
Sly glances downward thrown,
Aad small bands clasped before her,
stood in the aisle alone.
Stood half abashed, half frightened,
Unknowing where to go
While like a wind rocked (lower
Her form swayed to and fro;
And the changing color lluttereJ
In the littli troubled face,
As from side to side she wavered
With a mute, imploring grace.
It was but for a moment;
What wonder that we smiled
By such a strange, sweet picture
From holy thoughts beguiled?
I'p then rose some one softly,
And many an eye grew dim,
As through the tender silence

She had gotten off her safety for
snme reason and was trying to get
on again. Some girls can get on a
safety without assistance and some
can't. She was of the latter class.
A young man dressed in the
height of style stopped, watched
her make two ineffectual attempts,
laughed and went on.
A business man chuckled as she
nearly fell, but did not stop.
A well-dressed woman said she
might to be ashamed of herself for
enjoying such a masculine sport
and continued on her way.
Several people passed In quick
succession, and one or two stopped.
All seemed to enjoy her discom-liture.
The situation became so
embarrassing to her that she push-ed
her machine on for half a block
and tried again. Then a shabby
looking man shullled up. He saw
her predicament, but he didn't
laugh. He lifted his dilapidated
hat politely and said :
"Can I help you miss?"
" Oh, if you'd be so kind," said
the girl, almost discouraged by this
time. "l'lcase hold the machine
steady."
He held it while she got on.
'• I'm ever so much obliged to
you, sir." she said gratefully.

" A dime, or down you come
again !" he repeated.
•• But, sir—"
•• Down you come," he said again.
" I'm no dude, doin' these here
polite things for pretty looks. Fork
over a dime."
The case was desperate. He was
letting the machine wabble a little,
just to show that he meant busi-ness.
" Come to my home," she said.
" How far?'' he asked.
" Only three blocks."
"Then it's got to be a quarter,"
he asserted.

Another Train Held Up and Bobbed.
The Convict Camps Broken Up and

KNOXVILT-E, Tenn., Oct. 31.—
Knoxville and East Tennessee are
in a turmoil of excitement, euch
as has not been experienced in this
section since the war.
After months of uncertain wait-ing
and useless hoping for relief
from the oppression of convict la-bor,
the miners of Eastern Ken-tucky
and Tennessee, Hided by-many
sympathizers in every avoca-tion
of life have acted, and in a for-cible
manner.
Since July, those opposed to
convict labor in coal mines have
been patiently awaiting the nction
of the special session of the Leg-islature
and the decision of a num-ber
of cases in court. All have
thus far been adverse to the inter-est
of the miners, and patience
has ceased to be a virtue.
For some time past the miners of
Eastern Kentucky, Southern Indi-ana
and Tennessee have been per-fecting
arrangements for positive
action. They decided that the
convicts had to go, peaceably if
could be, but forcibly if necessary.
After using, as they thought, ev
ery honorable means to secure re-lief,
the miners last night took for-cible
action and released nearly
400 convicts.
Nearly all yesterday afternoon
scores of strange men were occu-pying
the secret hiding-places in
and about Bricevillo and Coal
Creek. Many of them were from
Kentucky mines and were well sup-plied
with liquor. The men who
have been known leaders for the
miners in this section and listed as
their aids, were mostly in this city
last night and attended a theatri-cal
performance.
By a previous arrangement last
night about 9:30 o'clock, nearly
one thousand armed men and boys
went to the Briceville mines of the
Tennessee Coal Company. They
surrounded the guards and demand-ed
the immediate release of all the
convicts, 1(50 in number.
The guards were powerless, and
as the convicts were marched out
singly and each furnished a suit
of citizens clothes. Preparations
were made to burn the stockade
which was recently erected at
cost of several thousand dollars.
As the last convict donned his new
suit and speed away to the hills,
the stockade blaze aided him to
hasten his footsteps.
PATCHING CONVICTS,
And Asking What Beward is Offered
for Them—Whole Herds of
Zebras Caught.
KKHXVII.I.E, Tenn., Nov. 3.—The
serenity of this city has been dis-turbed
to-day by the arrival of
bunches of convicts who have been
captured since their release. Indi-cations
are that the great majority
of those who were released will be
recaptured. What will be done
with them, remains to be seen.
Sooner or later, however, they will
be returned to the mines with force
enough to hold them there.
Beports from Nashville are to
the effect that the governor will
put a big force at the mines when
the convicts go back. Here in
Knoxville the feeling is that the
law must be upheld while it stands
on the books. The miners have
forfeited public sympathy by their
violation of law.
Governor Buchanan tonight is-sued
a proclamation similar to that
issued at Knoxville, offering $5,300
for the conviction of the leaders of
the mob that released Oliver
Springs convicts, and $250 for each
member of the mob.
The situation has been rather
quiet today regarding Briceville
affairs. The governor has laid out
a vigorous line of policy which he
will carry out. It is thought a part
of that policy is the arming of a
larger guard at each of the remain-ing
prisons. In any case some
heavy boxes were sent from the
state armory to the express office
and consigned to officials at Tracy
City and Inman. These boxes were
about the size to carry from thirty
to fitly stands of arms. The offi-cials
at the capitol, however, had
nothing to say in this connection.
"There should have been no re-lease
of these convicts," said thei
governor, in his most vigorous way. i

trouble has been that the lessees
and the representatives of the state

The governor was here reminded
that the board of inspectors had

the employment of all the guards
necessary.
"Then the guards ought to have
been employed," he said, "and the

OMAHA, NOV. 5.—Passengers on
the Missouri Pacific train which
left Omaha at 10'.30 last night
were treated to an old-fashioned
••hold-up" at Westside, a suburb,
at 11 o'clock. Four masked men
took charge of th? train when it
stopped at the station, one cover-ing
the engineer and fireman with
a rilic while the others proceeded
to plunder the train with drawn
revolvers. They approached the
coaches and ordered the passengers
to throw their hands up. At the
door they retreated and attacked
the mail car by threatening to blow
open the door with dynmite. The
messenger was induced to admit
the robbers and the car was plun-dered.
The officers refuse to give
any information as to the amount
of booty secured, but it is said that
large sums from Kansas City and
St. Louis banks were secured. Offi-cers
went in pursuit. The robbers
are armed but i<;i foot.
victs and taking charge of the
guards at Briceville, the miners and
their relief guards went down to
the mine of the Knoxville Iron
company. There were confined 140
more convicts. After battering
down the stockade and firing off a
canon near by, the miners released
the prisoners and furnished them
suits, and wished them well. The
store of Captain Crumbly, superin-tendent
of the prison, was forcibly
entered and nearly one thousand
dollars worth of general merchan-dise
taken from it. This action on
the part of the releasing party is
regretted by good citizens.
Reliable information from Nash-ville
is to the effect that Governor
Buchanan will send no troops to
the scene of the trouble, but will
spend any amount needful to arrest
and convict the leaders in last
night's trouble.
The coal company, damaged by
the loss of its working force, con-sisting
of convicts, are somewhat
reticent, but will in all probability
take legal action against the State
for damages.
,_Most of the convicts relaased are
colored and of n desperate nature.
They are nearly all heading for
eastern Kentucky.
It is understood that a tacit
agreement exists among the miners
to release all the convicts in the
mines at Oliver Springs and Trace
City.

crew of a piratical junk off the

The Groom 124 and the Brids 76 Years
of Ace.
The queerest wedding that has
ever been known will take place
tonight.
Hiram Lester, aged 121 years,
and Mrs. Mary B. Moseley, aged
7G, will unite their destinies.
It appears that the wedding will
be for the financial benefit of the
old couple, and a charge of twenty-five
cents will be made to see the
knot tied. It will be a sort of mar-riage
for the gate receipts.
But old Hiram says he loves his
wrinkled bride. He first met her
when he was an inmate of the poor I secured
house at McDonough, and she was
the matron. When the poor house
was changed into a farm, and Mrs.
Moseley lost her job, old man Les-ter
paid her regular visits, and has
been paying her devoted attention
for ten years.
Hiram Lester is probably the
oldest man living in the world. A
lew months ago the Journal pub-lished
an account of his life and
printed his picture. The sketch
was written by Dr. J. W. Lee, and
for |hail reason he was asked to
perform the marriage ceremony,
but he declined to help the "side"
show.
Dr. I. L. Gunter, of Henry coun-tv,
has consented \» perform the
ceremony, which takes place to-night
at nine o'clock in the Edge-wood
Avenue theater.
Hiram has intimated that he in-tends
to kiss Mary smack in the
mouth just as soon as she is "all

So the proprietor stepped to the
desk, and, after greeting Pat with
a " Good morning," said:
"You want to settle your bill, do
you?"
Pat replied in the affirmative.
"Well," said the merchant "there
is no need of my giving you a
receipt. See! 1 will cross your ac-count
off the book;"' and suiting
the action to the word be drew his
pencil diagonally across the ac-count.

The Patrick Henry "Engine."
A Raleigh correspondent of the
Wilmington Messenger says: The
oldest livirg railway engineer spoke
entertainingly today of the oldest
engine in use. It is now in a ma-chine
shop and foundry at Greens
horo. In 1836 it began service as
an inside-connected locomotive on
the Richmond and Petersburg rail-way.
After seven years nee it was
altered to an outside connected en-gine.
It was bought by the Ral-eigh
<t Gaaton railway for use as a
stationary engine, and was so used
until 1861. Two years later the
Confederate Government bought
it. Then it went to Greensboro.
When first used it was named "Pat-rick
Henry."
