THE EVENING STAR wt : : WASHINGTON, rscit é MBER 13, 1886—DOUBLE Written for Tae EVeNtso Stan THE MAIL-BAG OF THE PHE- NIX. By FLORA HAINES LOUGHEAD. (Copyright, 1886.) Jack Alsteyne was a man who seemed to have been born into the world for the express Purpose of running « race with time, and it must be conceded that he generally seemed to get the better of that anc.ent worthy. He was a San Franeiseo stock broker of the rattling, impetuous type, who never let the grass grow Under his feet when any undertaking in which he was concerned was in hand. Theretore no one was surprised when, aiter a month's vaca- tion up north, be returned with a pretty young wiie, whom he had met, courted and married in that brief space of time. But there were many who predicted that only ill could result from so hasty a wooing. They had been married upwards of three years, and things had not gone well with them. ‘Whenever Jack made a lucky stroke upon the street he was sure to swamp the proceeds in some illtimed venture, and find himself, in western parianee, flat on his back again. In in his wite besceched him to pat by a little sui for a rainy day. or to embark in some busi- ness less dazaling in Its possibilities but surer in its returns, Whatever the present outlook, Jack was always confident of ultimate success. At one time occupying @ costly suite of rooms tashionable hotel, at another dwelling in furnished apartments in @ cheap quarter, liv- ing partly at restaurants and partly resorting to that decent type of starvation, known in San Fr as “light housekeeping,” Kate Alsteyne tasted all the bitters and sweets of existence known to a speculator’s wife. When, er a long surfeit of this sort of living, the de- sire grew stroug upon her to revisit her old Oregon Lome, her husband yielded a ready consent, for, to tell the truth, he needed alll his available funds to invest In a certain stock that was olfered at “bedrock” prices, the bears having possession of the market, He miss n he had expected.

He sat down and wrove a savage letier, proudly retraining trom Detraying the bitter sense of desolation her continued absence caused him, but reproaching her for so long neglecting her wifely dutiesaand demanding that she should take passage tor San Francisco on the steamer Phosuix, which he ascertained wouid leave Lue porta few days later. This lever dispatched, he would fain have re- called it, for he knew how it would wound his wife's sensitive nature, and deep in his heart he recognized her unswerving fealty to him ‘During the days that followed, ue wandered restlessly about, oppressed with the sense of im pending disaster. A couple of days before the Steamer was due, the ominous storm signal, a Disek fag with a blood-red square in the center, floated from the tower of the Merchants’ ex- ebange, The wind rose and raved like a Million furies set loose, rain descended in torrents, aud tidings came that the bar was breaking heavily at tue entrance to tue harbor. Neveral days passed, and altuough many noble ships came crawling feebly into pori, thelr crippled and dismantled condition bear ing witness to the vioiwnce of the storm, the Phoenix, long over due, did not put in an appear- ‘ance. Une night Jack’ Alsteyne, strolling along Monigomery street, jomed a crowd guthered @bout the builetin board of a newspaper oifice. He stopped just long enough to read that the steamer Phosnix had foundered and goue down Up On the northern coast, with all on board; then he disappeared into the darkness and the night, ‘Had be waited a little longer, as a prudent man shouid, to take the full measure of bis ca- lamity, he mignt bave made two discoveries freighied with moment to him; the one, that his wiie’s name did uot appear on tie list of cabin passengers on the uniortuuate vessel; the Other, that in a window civse oy, among the stock’ reports of the day, a certali mine, long considered worthless, was quoted at fabulous ures, SiPee weeks Inter, » matilated and unrecog- nizabie body, found flouting In tue bay, was Pronounced by 4 coroner's jury to be te mor- tal remainsot Jack Alsteyne, tliedasiing young Stock operator who hud disappeared on tue night the Phenix went down.

He did not stop to count the years that «d, or reckon the chances that, discouraged waiting or stung by the belief that he jeliberately forsaken her, his wife might have formed new tles. Indeed, man much slower of decision and more’ deliberate ot Judgment would have found It difficult to asso- Ciate the idea of change or incoustancy with Kate Alsteyne. From falsehood or treachery she might have turned unrelentiogly away, but hever irom the man who, whatever bis faults, had truly loved her, Waen Kate Alsteyne returned to San Fran- cisco she found herself a rich widow, for Jack’ st rash speculation had turned out well. There were not wanting those who said that, trom a monetary point of view, Jack’s demise occurred ata very fortunate moment, for had he lived ne would have been sure, with his customary reck- Iessness, to huve sold out too soon, or else to have sucrifleed huis gains in some neW and fool- hardy venture, Indeed, it was the prevailing conviction that Mrs. Alsfeyne ought toconsider herself @ fortunate woman, and when a proper ve of time had elapsed soclety made a con- certed effort to draw ber forth from her sel Sought seciusion into its whirling maelstrom of, gayety aud frivolity. veiety migit as well have spared its ammu- nition, To use a far-fetched simile Kate Alsteyne effaced herself from the world in mourning for her husband, as faithfully as any eastern widow ever immolated herself dpon the funeral pile of her dead lord. Finally society, with # sigh that carried more regret for the loss ot her fortune and the possibilities of hospit- able entertainment thus ruthlessly withbeld than for the deprivation of her individual presence, learned to let her aloue. She led a quiet, unevential life, watching over her child with Jealous love, paying frequent and long visits to a gras-grown grave at Lone Mountain, assing her summers at some out-ol-the- dded place, where nose intruded upon ad where she held herself sadiy local interests. the community. rkable coincidence nt Jack Alsteyne set out in hot sbin, to precipitate hiin- seliagain upon the world, Mrs. Jack Alsteyne ouid have started out irom the litte seaside hotel, a mile down the bexen, anxiously search~ ing idr her little daughter, whose baby’ feet hud strayed iardown the beach. However, events Ol tliis sort have a way of pairing off in real life, acute observer ceases to wonder at their recurrence. But it was certaitily no coin cideuee, but rather some parental instinct, divinely implanted in the human breast, which caused Jack Alstyne, saateuing the little crea ture from the tetli of the Incoming tide, to d to bis heart with unaccountable lervor, and to cover its small face with Kisses. ‘The Child, having no corresponding filial in- stinct developed at that early axe, but seeing only a large, rough man, whose touch Was noue too gentie, aud whose béard grazed uer delicate skin, cried out in affright; Wuereupon the quon- aloof from thi Tt was a that «d gyod humor, went down upon his betore her, and cut a number of absurd apcies for ber div It was iu tuisattitade that Mrs. Jack Alsteyne came upon them.

From the Omaha Herald. At the exposition building, @ few minutes before eight o'clock, Jack Moynihan appeared in the balcony and announced the conditions ot the race—Prince to ride fifty miles while Schuck covered forty-nine, the winner to take a purse 0f $100 and 70 per cent of the gate receipts,and the loser 30 per cent. Prince had slightly the best of the send-off, and began setting a terrific pace from the start. He gained a lap on Schock in the first mile, and at the end of nis fifth mile had added another, the score standing, Prince, 5 miles; Schock, 5 miles 7 laps. Prince made the five miles in 14 minutes 45 seconds. On the sixth mile they were going at a break-neck gait, Prince trying to get by Schock. On the eighth lap, by a nag- niflcont spurt, he passed Schoek, on’ the sou stretch amid, wild ebeoring. The ten miles were completed in 29 minutes 45 seconds, beat- ing the famous record of Woodside, which was the fastestever made on an indoor track up 10 last night—30 minutes 15 seconds. The an- nounceiment was received with the wildest en- thusiasim, Prine2 kept right on with his fast pace, fin- ishing his fifteenth mile in 43 minutes 11’ sec- onds, his twentieth in 58 minutes 30 seconds, and his twenty-fifth in 1 hour 13 minutes $i seconds, breaking the twenty-five-mile in- door record, and’ having gained six laps on Sehock. Both men looked fresh when they started for the twenty-sixth mile, and Prince still kept his killing pace, with Schock sticking to his work like @ beaver. ‘he thirty-mile mark was crossed by Prince in 1 hour 28 minutes 32 sec- ‘onds, and the thirty-fifth in 1 hour 45 1ainates. At was evident that Prince would win, as he Wi DGw only, two laps behind is opponent. When Prince bad covered 37 miles 7 laps he lacked only one lap of being on even terms with Schock. He spurted by, and when he had rode 38 ‘miles and two laps he was on even terms with Schock, having gained the one mile start he allowed his antagonist. From this out it was one of the prettiest races ever witnessed, the forticth inile being reached in 2 hours and’2 minutes. Schock had the lead until the eighth lap of the forty-third mile, when Prince, by a tremendous burst of speed, passed him. ' This seemed to put Schock on his nd he started after Prince like Hgut- ning, and on the second lap of the forty-fourth mile'he went by Prince anid the wildest cheer- ing. The forty-filth mile was finished in 2 hours 18 minutes 15 seconds, Both men doubled over the handles of thelr machines for tie finish, and at the end of the forty-eighth mile it looked as though Schock would win. Prince looked distressed, but kept on going, with Scuock trying to get away from him. Ou the fiitieth mille Prince seemed to have recovered, and again spurted, passing his opponent, and inisiung about one-fitth of & lap anead in’ the remarkable time of 2 hours and 35 mmiuutes,and breaking all in-door records up to tity miles. Below is a tuble giving the time al tue completion of every five miles: 20 miles... 25 miles... 30 miles 5 miles. 40 miles. Railroad Accidents. THEIR COMMERCIAL ASPECIS—DEAD MEN COST LESS THAN INJURED ONES, From the Chicago Mail. Railroad accidents have, in the eyes of stock speculators, merely a ‘commercial aspect. When the terrible calamity on the St. Paul was learned of Wall street wanted to know how many cars bad been wreeked, how muny lives had been lost, but especially how many people had been injured. The especial stress laid on this last would not be understood by the ordi- nary lay brother Who is outside of a railroad office, unconnected with a iaw office, and who is uot a stock brokerage expert. ‘Tue passenger who is Kiked in a railroad smasti-up costs the railroad company just 35,000, This is settled law.
