THE MISSKS WEBLING. ] By far the largest Golden audience which ever listened to a concert company assembled on Wednesday evening last in the Oddfellows' Hall. The Misses Webling, of London, Eng., a trio of talented sisters were the attraction. The success of the entertainment as predicted in these columns was fully realized, and the general verdict at the close of the entertainment was���" the best which was ever held in Golden." Tho commencing of an entertainment at tho advertised hour seems to be an unknown virtue in Golden as well as in other places, it may be "fashionable" (?) to come late, but when people persist in coming at 9 o,clock to an entertainment advertised fo.i 8 they deserve to lose half the programme. The first number on the programme was a pianoforte solo by Miss F. M. Kenrick, pianiste to the Misses Web- j ling. Miss Kenrick is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, Eng,, she rendered two selections during the evening, which were heartily appreciated and loudly applauded by the audience. "Helen aud Modus," a selection from Sheridan Knowles' "Hunchback" by Lucy and Hosalind came next, and while the acting was extremely good and the selection rather amusing itwas ofa characterof which a little goes a long wny ���at least with a fastidious Golden audience, it was not altogether appreciated. This was followed by the very clever rendition of "The Jackdaw of Rheims," by Miss Peggy. The next item "Roses, Hoses," a dance of the summer flowers, by Rosalind and Lucy, proved the talented sisters to be very graceful dancers, and had it not been imposing on their good nature too much they would certainly have been encored. In a scene from Shakespeare's comedy "The Taming of the Shrew," the three sisters were given nn opportunity of displaying their ability as actresses, each sustaining her role to perfection, Peggy as "Petruchio" being especially good. Lucy, in her song, "May I have the Pleasure," fairly captivated her audience and was vigorously encored. She gracefully responded by giving the song "without words" with a charming effect. "An April Jest," specially written for the Misses Webling, kept the audience in the best of humor. The last number on the programme "Britannia"���a patriotic sketch specially written and arranged for the visit of the Misses Wobling to Canada, called forth repented applause. The Irish Jig by Rosalind, and the Sword Dance by Lucy, being executed in a most skillful manner. The first part of the evening's entertainment was brought to a close by the singing of "(iod Have tho Queen." A few minutes sufficed to clear the hull iiii'. dancing was commenced, Miss Simpson presiding at the piano. Refreshments were served at one o'clock, after which dancing was resumed und kept up till II o'clock, when the party broke up after having hud a most enjoyable time. Tbe Children's Picnic. The children's picnic took place as intimated on Thursday afternoon, a short distance out the old wagon road. The big children numbered nearly an many as the little ones. Amusements of various kinds were indulged in and au enjoyable time was spent by all. Supper was served at six o'clock and ample justice was done to the good things which had been provided. The picnic broke up shortly after seven o'clock and all returned home feeling that it had been a day well spent. Buck from Ottawa. Thos. Earle, M.P., Lieut.-Col. Prior M.P., and Senator Mclnnes arrived on Sunday and went on directly to Victoria. Th.y were all glad to get back, Messrs. Prior and Earle had little to say. In the opinion of Senator Mclnnes the Dominion Government is rapidly becoming weaker, chiefly owing to the non-confidence all the cabinet have in the Premier and jealousy amongst individual members. Tbe Senator hoped the Province of Manitoba -A-ould never go back one step on the school question. The recent stand, taken by the Government of that Province had greatly strengthened their case in the east. Laurier, he believed would sweep Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces would go Liberal. The present depressed state of agriculture in Ontario would also hurt the Government when the elections came on. He did not think there would be another session of Parliament.���Vancouver World.

SATURDAY, AUG. 8, 1895. A Sailor's Revenge. Bella Mallison's troubles were the result of certain eventualities. She was very pretty and had many lovers. These follow in the natural order of things. Her father,old Tom MaMison, had been a coasting skipper ; but, his wife dying about the time his craft was condemned fnr unseaworthiness, he hnd fallen on evil times and drifted silently down the ebbtide of his existence, mindful of what had been and striving to act well by his girl. So pretty Bella came to be tall, slight and gracefully rounded, looked 20, though barelv 17. She was a pretty, flushed, dark haired British girl, who could row her father's skiff or stand her lovers' chaff with easy grace, Mutters went smooth enough until Dick Hathaway stepped in and gained the girl's promise. He was a tall, bright faced, manly fellow of 25 or thereabouts uud skipper of the ketch Sultana, a craft peculiar, to the lower Thames, trading mainly with the home ports. One night shortly after their engagement the two were sitting in the dusk of the twilight talking of the future which lay so bright before them. Only one iigiire loomed dark across their horizon-Bill Hanson, a man whose lover's attentions Bella had persistently discouraged. But the glamour of love and the witchery of the girl's presence in the firel it room made Dick laugh lightly at her fears when she told him. "Don'tyou trouble your pretty head about Bill Hanson, Bella," Dick whispered as he strained her to him, kissing her good night. " I must go now, dear. We're sailing at 12 o'clock, and if Bill Hanson says anything to you just let nie know, and I'll���" "Hush ! Oh, Dick, what's that?" A.face glared in upon them standing in the firelight���u dark face framed in the window pane���indistinct, vanishing, then ��� Crash ! Tho window fell, splintered into a thousand fragments, Dick's face was dark with anger as he strove to free himself from the clinging, frightened girl. But when at lust he got outside ho was too late. The street lay vacant nnd deserted. A fortnight or so alter this Bella was coming home through the blaring streets from n spell of Sut unlay night's shopping, It wns a raw, wet evening, and as the girl hurried along, turning iuto the quieter streets, she heard footsteps behind her. They blundered steadily on until she camo to u narrow passage little frequented, but a short cut to her home. Pansing, she cast a hurried glance over her shoulder, then decided to take the out. Before she had traversed many yards she heard the footsteps quicken. Slackening her puce, she stepped suddenly into the shadow of an archway, hoping her pursuer would pass in the gloom. But in another moment he had halted abruptly before her, "What cheer, Miss Mallison?" cried a voice, whieh she directly recognized as Bill Hanson's. "Oh, how you did frighten a body!" cried Bella, quickly proceeding on her way. "Stop, Bella!" cried the other. "You didn't used to be frightened of me-now, did you?" "I didn't know 'twas you." "Are you sorry it's me?" "I ain't glad," returned the girl. "Bella," answered the man, "is it true what I hears about Dick Hathaway?" "I don't know what you heard." "Yes, you do. Bolla, you know I love you ; strikes me. you know it us well us I do, and yet you chuck me over same as if I was only a dawg." "1 never gave you leave to talk to me so," cried the girl hotly. "You've been drinking again, Bill Hanson." "Drinking, have I? Yes, I have. More nor a drop too. What's more, you've drove me to it." "I never encouraged you, I'm sure," said Bella. "No, you never did. That's where it sticks. It's me as did the loving. It's me as did the blooming dawg, dangling after your pretty footsteps. It's me as did it all. Chuck Dick Hathaway, Bella. Chuck him and tako ine on." "I love Dick," returned Bella. "You mean what you say?" "Yes, I do." "And I can go hang?" "Oh, I never said it!" " No, but you meant it. Well, I'm off. It's wrote I can go hang." He turned on his heel as he spoke and left her to hurry home, trembling, alone. For a time no more was seen of Hanson, but a rumor told how he was to be met nightly at the bar of the Golden Scorpion, a gin palace of preposterous radiance at the corner of High street. Early in the new vear the Sultana started again, with Dick Hathaway as skipper, on a trip to Folkestone, this time with a c.trgo of coal and pretty Bella���now a wife of some three days' experience���as mistress on board. It was a bright, fresh day, with a steaming sun drawing moisture over the Essex marshes. Far astern London lay mysteriously curtained in a purple haze. There, too, stood one solitary figure���her father, waving his old kerchief bravely. "Poor father," Bella sighed as she turned from looking at last. "I'm afraid he'll find the old place dull now I'm gone." "You aren't sorry you came, lass, are you?" "No, no! Oh, Dick, you know I'm not!" '-Aye, lass, I know it. But I like to hear you say it," returned the skipper as he slid his arm about her waist and drew her to him by the wheel. "I'm very happy, Dick," Bella sighed gently. "You are very good to me." "Bless you, lass, why, who wouldn't be, if so be he had the chance?'' After which they talked in whispers as the crew came aft, busying themselves with the geur. As the day grew the wind dropped, and toward 3 o'clock they were sailing slowly down Gravesend reach. The tide was nearly done. "I'll bring up just below the Owans, mute!" cried the skipper presently. "If this breeze drops at sundown, 'twon't bo very pretty on thn river." "Aye," said the mate. "It don't look very pretty now. Belike there won't be any wind come flood." ' "Take a pull on your main sheet here!" cried the skipper. "Flatten in your wang a bit, then let the jib and taups'l run down!" They had passed the buoy and were rounding to, to bring up midway between the Owens and the powder hulk under the lee of East Tilbury forts. Down fores there!" shouted the skipper as he clapped the helm a-lee. "Stand by yonr anchor! Let so!" There was a sudden rattle of rush' ing chain, and with it shriller cries and shouts of pain. The boy had got mixed up with the chain. His hand and arm were badly crushed. "Good heavend" cried the skipper when he got beside them forward. "How the shivers did you manage that? Why, this is a hospital job." "There's no two ways about that, skipper," said the mate. But the boy, a lad of about IB, lay silent, struck senseless by the pain. "Woll, what's got to be has to be," said Dick ruefully. "You get the boru hauled up and Ned down into her when he comes to, while I run alt to tell the missus and put the light out. We'll have to leave dog." In half an hour or so all their arrangements were complete. Dick came on deck and tumbled into the boat. "So long, Bella, lass!" he cried as he sighted her standing watching their departure. "The flood's come up. We'll soon jog along and be back again long before 12." Then they vanished in the haze astern. It was a silent, beautiful night, dark, clear and cold, as Bella stood on the little quarter deck, accompanied by Vixen, Dick's retriever, looking away over the stern where the gleaming lights at Gravesend and Tilbury threw a glow of shimmering twilight into the sky. Near at hand, passing up and down the, great black river, steamers and sailing craft went silent ly on their way, lit with sparks of twinkling light. Here a steamer scurried past, radient with, rows of flushing ports, signalling hoarsely for the watching pilots at Gravesend. There, a sailing craft, approaching close, threw her sails into the wind as she went about with a flutter and roar of cunvas and changing lights. It was growing cold. So, followed by the dog, she went below Here she seated herself before the cabin stove, stirring the lite to a ruddy'glow. The dog nestled beside her, eying ber Wistfully. "Poor little dog," she whispered. "You want, your master, don't you? So do I, Vixen. Come, .what shall we do to make the , time pass? . Put up those now curtains I have���eh, doggie? Then Dick will hardly know the old 'lodging' (bunk) when he comes back." So they busied themselves thus, the dog watching anxiously, until Bella was satisfied and stood back to view the result. "There!" she cried, "I do call that pretty. Why, I believe-" , Just then the dig cocked her ears and growled. "What's the matter, Vixen?" cried Bella as she strained her cars to listen. "Hush, its only master! Good dog!" But Vixen knew better. She flew up the cabin steps growling viciously. Suddenly there was a loud cry. Then, as a muffled curse broke the still night air, Bella heard a dull thud, after which the dog. snarled no more. In another instant Bill Hanson stalked into the cabin. "What do you want?" cried Bella, who, now tbat she knew who it was, threw fear to the winds and stood boldly confronting him. "I want you, Bella. And I'm come to fetch you." "You're mad, Bill Hanson," cried the girl argrily. "I don't know nny thing about that,'' the man returned hoarsely. "I kuow I love you, and I'm going to take you. What else d'ye think I'm here for? I sighted you coming away from tin wharf this morning, and if it hadn't been for the old man I'd have been stowed away aboard the Sultana to watch my chawnse easy enough instead of having to tow down following you all day. So now you're coming with me." "Never!" cried the girl. "You're a coward. If Dick were here, he would kill you." "Ah, he might!- But Dick ain't here He's away gallivanting, leaving you here alone. He don't love you, Bella. Come away with me, lass. I've been wild and gone on the beer. But I'll be steady enough with yon to help me. Come, Bella, say you'll chuck Dick and come along with me." "I bate you. I would never speak a word to you, but you foroe me," cried the girl. "Go back to your boat. Gp!" "' ���' / "i | "I'm1 not going Without you, so you'd better come quiet," cried Hanson growing angry and making toward her. But ' the girl, springing past him, rushed on deck and made tho night j her in charge of the' ring with shrieks for help. Hanson, cursing blindly, followed her up the ladder. "You'll never see Dick again if yon don't shut that noise. Shut it!" he shouted, catching.her frail, soft form in his arms, "or, by my soul, you'll never cry again!" Tbey stood struggling a minute, then stumbled heavily over the hatch combings. 'Bella fell undermost her head striking a ringbolt. Just then the sound of approaching oars fell upon the man's ears. He got up, listening intently. They grew Tap- idly nearer. He stooped over - the girl's prostrate form. She never moved or stirred. "She's dead!" he muttered. "She's dead!" The horror of the thing forced itself slowly through his dull brain. He tried to pick her up, but she hung so heavily in his arms and the noise of the rowlocks became so distinct that he hurriedly put her down again. " 'Tain't no use," he moaned in an agony of dread. "She's dead. She's dead, and I must cut and run." Then, with an oath, he stumbled across the deck, dropped swiftly into his boat and rowed away in the darkness. But his calculations were astray Before he had gone 50 yards up the flood a thoi'-r pin broke. So, after a aiti'attempt to row without it in the d irkness, h-.' {-ave up, and putting ene onr by stuck the other over too stern and sculled shoreward. Presently the1 boat's nose took the mud. He planted his oar firmly and pushed her as far as possible up the sheiving mudbank, then jumped out and floundered toward tbe sea wall. From thence he could gain the road to the forts and so across country, away from the horror of the river. But the night was dark, and as he plunged ankle deep in the soft mud he oume to a place where a vessel had recently lain.. The bed she had hollowed was now filled up again. But it was soft and treacherous as a quicksand, so soft that when he blundered upon it he sank to his knees. Struggling desperately, he plunged deeper and deeper with every effort until he could not move at all. Oh, the agony of it! There he lay, sucking into the horrid slime. The mud held him fast in a death grip, creeping higher and higher above his sodden limbs as he strove in frenzied fashion to shake himself clear. The flood���the silent, intractable flood���was creeping slowly towards him. A grim, steulth death stared him in the face. Soon tho water had crept close. He found himself counting the luinuus that must elapse ere he was drowned. The tide swept shoreward. Now a dead dog eddied up beside him, gur- |glilig and bobbing ill the tide, now this way, now thut. He tried to avoid it, but the thing struck bim und sw arved ou again. Soon be would be liko that. Another rush of tide circled fur beyond him. carrying the body with it. He was dumb now���in a lethargy���from cold and despair. Stay ! Perhaps when the water -owed enough it would help him to free himself, He watched intently���watched and saw it creep waist high, breast high, then bubble about his shoulders. But, no, it availed him nothing. No help! No help ! . The tide crept on silent as the desert remorseless as fate, slowly, as though lib terror struck eyes viewed; its pass* age and prayed for speed; on until it reached the flotsam and jetsam at high water mark, where it mingled, gurgling amid tbe stones, slime and seaweed, among the tin pots and dead dogs, tracing out the rat holes and slimy crannies that mark the extent of the tide flow; on while the chill wind sighed over the steaming marshes, while gleaming lights hurried up the river and uion's voices grew musical with distance, as though there were'' no such thing as despair or death. But Bella was not dead. When Diok Hathaway returned to the Sultana, he fonnd her sitting on the hatches weeping over ��� the dead dog. Poor child! She was nearly mad with joy at seeing him again anil clung to him, weeping hysterically, some time before he could glean what had gone ��wry. And then Dick forgot himself and swore savagely, after the manner oi skippers, of certain vengeance he- would take on Hanson when he met until Bella interrupted softly, with her arms about his neck, and begged him to forget it and stopped his fierce words with a kiss. So they rested all night, taking no onward steps with the next ebb. Dick meanwhile revolved tbe trouble anxiously. Toward 8 o'clock next morning the mate spied a group of men standing over something lying on the edge of ihe mud. Calling the boy quietly, rowed away shoreward. Here tbey found the body of Bill Hanson, lately freed from the mud, his limbs rigid with cold and death.���Loudon Answers. He Wanted Information.

He has not been heard from since he went to the "Castle.'' Chicago, July 27.���A mass of bnman hair clotted with blood was fonnd to-day in the search of Insurance Swindler Holmes' residence. A number of bones were also found to-day. The hair, apparently thst of s woman, was about twelve inches long and was found clinging to the damp earth from which the bones were dug. The police also found s letter from Holmes to Pat Quinism to which much impoiraiicu is attached. Chicago, July 26.--Workmen st Swindler Holmes' morgue to-day dug up a piece of hone and Dr. Robinson says it is part of a human anatomy. The bone is so small thst ths searchers did not attach much significance to it. The doctor ��aj s it i. uertaiuly a piece of human bone but he cannot determine to what part of the human \\f anatomy it belongs. Au old sponge was also found, and as it is discolored i the,'police suspect that possibly it was once saturated with blood. A chemical analysis will be made. One of the most important finds made by the police to-day in their search uf the '-088116, was a bench covered with blood stains. The bench waa found in a deserted store room next to the apartment in which Pat Quinlan slept The police were in doubt, as to the nature ot the stains, but an analysis showed them to be blood. Chief Of Police Badenoch put Pat Quinlan and his wife through another severe examination to-day. It is believed that the pair can give sensational evidence if they can be made to talk, and Quinlan will be kept under police guard. Little Rock, Ark., July 26.-It was discovered at Fort Worth, Texas, a few days ago, that the Arkansas penitentiary holds a former pal of H. H.

Col. linker, in his capacity ol Minister of Mines, has cnused to be sent out to the various mining recorders throughout the province, circulars rei't-estine* them to gather every possible information as to mines and mining operations in their districts. This information will be forwarded through the gold commissioners of the districts to Victoria, with samples of ores irom the mines, also samples of the rock from thc hanging and foot walls. This is the initial step towards establishing a mining bureau in the province A portion of tho provincial museum will for the piesentbe set apart for t,he specimens of ore from the different mines, nnd the fullest information obtainable as to the nature of the ore, the workings of the mine nnd the goology of tho vicinity will be kept on record. Then when any inquiry is made as to any mine, or of the progress or prospects of any district, from the data nt hand the fullest information obtainable will be furnished. This will be of enormous bonefit, especially to would-be investors, and will aid greatly in the development of the British Columbia mining industry. The records will bo kept up to date and made as accurate as possible. Great care will have to be exercised in the appointment tif a specialist to be head of the bureau, as on him will depend, in a great measuro the success of the scheme. Engineer Ciiroy'a Hon Drowned nt Vancouver. ��� Vancouver World : While several persons have been drowned on Ihe south shoro of English Bay the north shore has lieen particularly free from fatalities. Until lust night no life had ever been lost in the vicinity of thc civic bathing sheds. This good record is now broken nud gloom born of trngedy surrounds the spot. On Sunday evening Willis Cnrey, 17 years old, sou of Charles Carey, a C. Pit., locomotive engineer resident at Canmore, who had been visiting his uncle in this city, Thomas Carey, also a locomotive engineer running between here and North Bond, weut down to thc lathing sheds for a dip. J. Allan, driver for tho Dominion Express Company, was with him and three others in the water at the time. Carey was not ii good swimmer but it seemed only a short distance out totholloat anil lie then-fore decided to follow lho others when tliey started for it. He had not gone fnr when he said he could not keep up any longer. Allnn assisted him Ior n short distance hut found that he was going to pull them both down. Ho called out far a liont and broke away and got to the float. A boat crime along shortly after and found the body by prodding ulong the bottom with an oar. The water wits only lii'l feet drep at the spot. A small boy, witb a rope attached, dove and brought np thc body, which was at ���once taken ashore and everything possible done to restore animation but in vain, Ilrs. Wilson and Carroll having been brought to the place speedily. For two hours the efforts were continued and then it was reluctantly concluded that the. lad was beyond the power of human effort. J. Allan, who was with Carey at the time, was seen this morning. He says that J. Powe, Carey and himself sturtcd out. Carey was a stout, muscular'lad, weighing 1701bs., but was not a very expert swimmer. Powe and Allan got to tha float. Carey stayed at wading depth for a time and then started for the same place, after getting out a short distance he cried out that he could go no farther. Powe and Allan both dove from the float and swam tc him. They got hold of him and urged him not to get excited but ho seemed unable to control himself and his limbs and head jerked about convulsively as if he had a fit. Powe, not Iieing a strong swimmer, had to break away in a little while or go down himself. In the meantime Carey had taken a vice-like grip on one of Allan's arms.' Allan kept on with the other arm and felt sure of getting into wading depth all right when Carey gave a queer sound, suddenly let go and . sank. This is s most unusual thing for a drowning man to do; as a rule they have to be stunned in order to get them to unclasp anything that they happen to get a hold of. Allan says that Mr. Morgan, of the bath house, came out with his clothes on at once and ".on diving succeeded in getting hold, of the body biit was unable to bring it up. The boat came along shortly after' and little Horace Mackie, an expert swimmer and diver, pluckily consented to go down with a rope around him and bring .tip the body. Coroner McGuigan decided this morning that an inquest was unnecessary. The body is being enbalmed by Center <_ Hanna for shipment to Can- more where the boy's parents reside and where other members of his family aro interred. A Woman's Heroism. A gentleman who has travelled all over the world, says that the coolest act of heroism lie ever witnessed was performed hy a woman. He was driving on a hot summer dav up a road cut from the side of a mountain. On one side of him was a wall of rock; on the Otherside a precipice falling of to a valley, which was perhaps half a mile wide. Across the valley another rpad wound up another mountain, and on it, toiling upward, he saw another team with a solitary occupant���a woman. Such mountain paths are not only steep, but are rarely wide enough for two teams to pass, except in carefully prepared spots. The two teams were crawling slowly upward. In the peculiar clearness of the atmosphere and the utter stillness of a California canon, both sight and sound carry far. All at onco the gentleman's ear was struck by a strange noise falling upon thn quiet- quick and sharp. He listened.; it came- from across the csnon; nnd turning, he saw to his horror, teuriug down the steep ascent at full gallop, a pair of powerful horses attached to a heavy wagon, such as the Mexicans use to draw wood in. Down they came, straight in the path up which the woman was driving A moment more and sudden destruction would be upon her. The gentleman opened his lips to cry ont. Half s mile of valley separated him (rom the woman. He ctuld only sit frown with horror, snd with eyes glued to the opposite hillside, awaiting the end. The woman, had stopped ber team and sat as if "petrified. Ie wss impossible to turn round, or even turn out. If she did nothing, it wss because there was nothing to be done. Suddenly, to his unutterable nmnr.tr- ment, ihe watcher saw the woman rise deliberately in her seat, raise her arm and fire. There was s flash, n puff of smoke, a report, and simul taneously the outer of tbe two frenzied horses stumbled, fell and pitched headlong, dragging his companion and the wagon over into the gorge below. All this had passed in a flash. The watcher stupified and gasping, sat gazing at the valley, into the depths of which the mad vision had disappeared. Then he looked at the mountain opposite The narrow road was perfectly free, the air was still as before, the silence unbroken, and the team with solitary woman was quietly winding up the road again. The man, too, resumed his climb, but with an indelible picture burnt in upon his brain. Who the woman was he never knew. A pioneer and a mother ot pioneers, probably, whose frontier life had made her familiar with danger nnd swift in emergencies. An instant's indecision, the trembling of a hand would have been fatal; but both brain and hand were under absolute control. In nine cases out of ten it is not the danger which kills us, but we, who���cowardly commanders of ourselves���lay down our arms and succumb without a struggle. jo Negation fL Id -.TramWavvvi & TramWay In Wormwood Scrnbbs.
