There are many boarders in the house and the appearance of the woman did not create any suspicion.

When he first came out of the alley he heard the officer speak to bim about being out so lato night. Rodgers gave the officer an answer which meant that it was none of the oficer's business.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. * 5 ‘Waunzstox, Va., August 9, 1891. This ancient Virginia town, storied in memo- ries of the civil war and renowned for the hos- Pitality of its citizens, has long been a favorite resort for Washingtonians. It is ‘perhaps the most entertaining inland town in all Virginia, if we except the famous watering places. From May until November the season is at its height and there isan un- ending series of entertainments for the enjoyment of life. To be “in the swim” one must forsake occupation and lead a life devotd of serious considerations. fo enticing are the allurements in summer that one is glad to leave behind him the perplexities of business and the earnest work of life. Itis not to be inferred that the citizens of Warrenton baye no pur- suit or do not iIsbor in life's vine- yard, for this historic has among its residents many of lending men of the state, who have achieved prominence at the bar and in other professions. But in the summer scason, when life at best drags at snail pace, the Warrentonians add zest to it, and for four months there is scarcely @ day or night which is without its special social fanction. ‘The proximity of the Fanqnier White Sul- phur Springs is an added attraction, as a german is given there every Tuesday evening, usually led by Mr. Turner Day, who is destined to rival his brother, Dr. Baldwin Day as an adept leader. Then, Wo, there are the races, which attract large ‘and fashionable crowds, for in Fauquier county well-bred horses are the rule, rather than the exception. Add to this the numerous picnic and garden parties and the succeeding list of private entertainments of every description and you will have fair idea of the social life here. ‘The customary weekly germans bave com- menced, and on last Friday a most enjoyable affair was given, led by Dr. Baldwin Day and Miss Charlotte Nelson, ono of the prettiest belles in Warrenton ‘and an accomplished dancer. Quito a number of Washingtonians participated in the german. couples were: Mrs. Win. M Leo, Mra. Grenville Gaines, Mr. Markham Payne, Miss Lena Gaines, Mr. Jobn Williams, Miss Mary "Scott, Col.

Ba nee een SAVED BY A BUCKET BRIGADE A Fire Raging Close to 200 Barrels of Gunpowder. Twenty minutes after the conclusion of the performance of the Fall of Pompeii at the Driving Park at Scranton the other night a fire broke out in the long line of stables near the river. Before a stream of water could be thrown upon the burning mass sixty-five sta- bles were consumed. At midnight nothing re- mained save a line of the smouldering ruins, 500 fect in longth. Itwas only by the unceasing efforts of a bucket brigade that the “Pompeii” amphi- theater and maguzine, ¢ontaining 200 barrels of powder, were saved from the flames. The horses were all removed from the barns, and, as far as is known, all the wagons and were saved. ifteen of the barns were owned by private individuals wand fifty by the Lacke- wanna Agricultural Society. ————_+ee_—____ 5 BRIBERY IN BOSTON.

When making the round of the sights at Nisgare alle the party cause to one of the double clevator shafts throngh which Reople are carried for a consideration up and jown from the level of the piateau above to the level of the rapids below. The Washington committce made an elevator load and were let down. Just before reaching the bottom the suddenly it reached the bottom, where a glass door let ina flood of light. Standing at the door was an auburn-haired girl, the attendant of the place, and beyond oue ‘could seo the foaming rapids. The luridness of the hair of the girl, coming suddenly into the ficld of Vision after the brief spell of absolute dark- ness, seemed to be intensified. Mr. Hay, start- ing forward, threw himself into a theatrical attitude and exclaimed: “What @ vision of beauty bursts upon the view.” As the young woman's figure, framed in by the square open- ing of the door, was the most conspicuous ob- y be pardoned for having sy that the exclamation was intended to apply to her, though Mr. Hay asserts that he was referring to the rapids in the perspective. ‘The young woman said nothing but iooked ifevers red-headed girl did. The party left the shaft, took in the sights on the river bank and then returned to the elevator house to be hoisted to the Leighteabove. There were a number of tourists When the first elevator was filled sowe of the Wnching- ton party got in, including Mr. Saks, and others, including Mr. Hay,were left below. Mr. Hay appealed to the red-liewled attendant not to separate him from his little yon. It was one of the fictions kept up on the trip that Mr. Sake was Mr. Hay’s little son. Plaintive cries came from the elevator cor for “‘pipa,” and Mr. Hay wrung his hands apparently in’ great dist and strode and raved about the floor. Theele- vator girl smiled sardonically as «he pulled the signal rope and the elevator started on its slow upward journey. Mr. Hay still lamented loudly, and the girl told him with cutting di- rectness that if be did not keo quiet be should not go up at all. The two clevators work on a switch-back plan, so the weight of one descending helps to Jift the other, and there are some minutes be- tween trips.” When the next came down there were a dozen or more people at the bottom, in- cludidg Mr. Hay, waiting for it. The girl sud- deuly remembered that she could, for safety sake, only allow eight people in ata time. She plied the rule inexorably and managed, by thrusting herself between Mir. Hay asd ‘the door, to get eight people in before he had a chance. Monnwhile other tourists were com along, and it was apparent that the rule of ight, as ‘applied by the girl, together with her it way of hustling eight ‘people in ahead of Mr. Hay, made it look not very improbable that after elevator came up londed with everrthing except Hay. Mr. Hay finally took the law into his own hands and made his way into the elevator, making the ninth mai girl refused to send the elevator up.
