THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1895-TEN PAGES. MISSING FROM THE 6:54 EXPRESS, = a A RAILWAY INSPECTOR’S STORY. BY JOHN T. PARTINGTON. (Copyright, 1895, by ving Bacheller.) (Continue? from Mcrday’s Star.) “Some years ago—it must be about nine— Mrs. Fairholme, who was then Miss Ethel Vaughan, became acquainted with Mr. Reginald Sandford, and, to make the story short, they got to be very fond of one an- other, and when he asked her to become his wife she consented, her mother agreeing to the engagement, although Miss Ethel was not then more than nineteen years of age, for Mr. Reginald was as good and hand- Some a young man as ever lived, and they seemed to be just made for one another. At that time Miss Ethel’s father was in Australia. His business used to take him to nearly all parts of the world, and he was often away for a long time, and it was when he was absent that everybody was happiest, for he was a hard, stern, cruel man. When he came home he objected to the engagement, partly, no doubt, because Mr. Reginald’s father wasn’t rich then, as he nas become since, and wasn't a bayonet, but was plain Mr. Sandford. But the main reason seemed to be that he had found an- other husband for Miss Ethel—a Mr. Stan- ley Fairholme, the son of a wealthy mer- chant, and from what transpired afterward it appears that he was under some obliga- tion to this young man, and it was a bar- gain between them that Miss Ethel should become his wife. I needn’t tell you all the “Yes he did,” Replied Sir Phillip. details, but Miss Ethel and Mr. Reginald were both shamefully deceived, and Miss Ethel was ultimately led to believe that Mr. Reginald had been killed in a railway acci- dent in America. The end of it all was that, almost wearied out of her life by a long-continued daily persecution, and be- Meving Mr. Reginald to be dead, Miss Ethel marricd Mr. Fairholme, and found out, a fortnight afterward, how basely she had been deceived. She was never the same bright girl again that she had been before the trouble began. Her husband, although not a good man, was not unkind to her. He loved her in his way, and she, having mar- ried him, tried to be a good wife to him. But they had no tastes in common, and gradually drifted farther apart, and about two years ago he fought a duel in Paris, and was killed. Two children have been born to them: Frank, who is now missing, and who bears a strong resemblance to his mother, and Nellie, whose illness was the cause of Frank's journey. Mrs. Fairholme has never seen Mr. Reginald since her mar- riage, and I am sure she has no more idea than I had that he is living in North Wales. And it is quite likely that he does not know that her husband is dead.” While Mrs. Edwards had been speaking an idea had entered my mind which decided me as to my ext step. And in a very short time I was again on my way to Mos- tyn, as fast as a lumbering ballast train which had happened to be at the station, about to start for Bangor, could carry me. “Hughes,” I said to the station master, on arriving at Mostyn, “how many little chil- dren has Sir Philip Sandford?” “Three or four, I’m not sure which,” was the reply. “He's been married twice, you see. Mr. Reginald and Miss Constance, who stayed at home, are the children of the first wife, and the others are the children of the present wife, who is much younger than Sir Philip, but a very nice lady. Yes, sure.”” “And how many children were there in the party last night?” “I think there were three inside the car- riage and cne outside.” “I'm going to drive up to the hall, poe I suppose I can get a trap at the ote?” “Yes; but it’s a long drive—eight miles, as I told you, at least.” I made my way to the hotel, and en- gaged a light two-wheeled dog cart to take me to the hall, and a man to show me the way. While they were being got ready I partook of a hurried and rather late lunch. In a short time I was on my way to the hall at a brisk rate. I enjoyed the drive immensely. The horse was a good one, the roads were hard and dry, the air was clear and bracing, and the scenery through which we passed was of an extremely interesting character. Added to all this, the excitement of the chase was upon me, and I felt my blood coursing through my veins more quickly than ft was wont to do, as I told myself for the twentieth time that I should find the object of my search safe and sound at Rhydowen Hall. The hall was visible for a full mile be- fore I reached it. It was most delightfully situated on the slope of a wooded hill, and was approached from the highroad by a rather long carriage drive. I left the conveyance at the lodge gates, walked up to the hall, and told the foot- man that I wished to speak to Sir Philip for a few minutes on an important matter of railway business. I was shown into a luxuriously furnished room, and there Sir Philip soon joined me. He was a man of splendid physique and with a kindly face— & fine specimen of a country gentleman. I had several times seen him before, when he had been traveling by train, and my face was evidently not unfamiliar to him. “Good day to you, inspector; sit down,” he said, as he entered, and courteously beekoned me to a chair. think you want to see me on railway business.” “Yes, Sir Philip,” I said; “a boy disap- peared very mysteriously last night when traveling from Rhyl to Counah’s Quay by the 6:54 express, which starts from Ban- gor 5:30, and I have been instructed to trace him. I understand you traveled by the same train, which stopped specially at Mostyn to set you down. Will you kindly tell me whether by any means the boy got up to the hall in the carriage oh met you at the station?” es, he did,” replied Sir Philip, “and he is here now, safe and sound, and, ap- parently, quite happy.” was immensely relleved. My quest was ended at last. “fam very glad, indeed, to hear that,” I said, “and the boy’s mother will be more thankful than I can tell you. Can he re- turn with me at once?" “Well, I'm not sure that he can,” replied the baronet. ‘You may see him, of course, but I don’t want you take him away at Present. I'll tell you why. My eldest son was thrown from his horse yesterday, strange as it may seem te you, I believe the little fellow is doing him more good than the doctor. His Christian name he tes us is Frank, but he does not speak some words very distinctly, and we can- not quite make out his surname, although you are no doubt aw~re of it. He was not at all disconcerted t. find himself in a strange home last —ight. He seemed to think it was the place he was intend=d to come to. He roamed about the house quite freely; a bit too freely we thought at first, for he got into my son’s room, walked up to the bed, and placed his hand on my son’s. We were all surprised at the effect. My son, who was in a state of semi-consciousness, looked at him fixedly for a moment or two, and then, with a strength we had not thought he still pos- sessed, ralsed himself on his right elbow, leaned forward in bed, and smothered the boy’s face with kisses. Then he sank back exhausted. 1t was all so sudden and un- expected that we were fairly startled. And ever since then he bas seemed not to be able to bear the boy away from him. If he only feels the little fellow’s hand in his, or touching his face or head, he is calm and content, but if the hand is with- drawn he becomes agitated and restless. Yon will readily understand, therefore, that I am very unwilling to part with the boy just at present. But you can see him, and telegraph to his mother that you have done so, and that he is all right. And now, just one question—can you tell me who is the boy’s mother?” “Yes, Sir Philip,” I replied, “her name is Fairholme. Her name before marriage was Vaughan—Ethel Vaughan; and I have heard today, although she has not told me herself, that she was at one time engaged to your son.” “I thought as much—I thought as much,” said Sir Philip, pacing the room excitedly; “and is her—her husband with her?” “Her husband died two years ago,” I said; and, rightly or wrongly, I felt consid- erable pleasure in giving the information. I could see that the baronet was consid- erably relieved by this announcement. He looked into the fire meditatively for a mo- Ment or two, and then said: “May I ask you to convey a message from me to Mrs. Fairholme? Tell her I am most anxious her boy should not leave here at present. No doubt, however, she is equally anxious to see him and satisfy herself that he is really safe and sound. As the boy cannot go to her, ask her to come here to him. Ask it as a favor to myself, and for the welfare of my son.” “Very well, Sir Philip,” I replied, “I will convey your message with all possible speed. But I am anxious to know how the boy happened to get up to the hall. Do you mind telling me how you account for it? “Well, in view of what you have told me since you came here, I don’t mind say- ing that I believe it was a providential ar- Tangement. At first none of us could un- cerstand it. We were simply dumfounded when the little fellow walked into the house among us -ast night, and quietly preceeded to take off his overcoat, and make himself at home. In cur anxiety about my son, however, he was left un- questioned for some little time, except by the children,who soon became quite friend- ly with him. Later on, we questioned him, but he could teil ns nothing except that my wife was ‘nurse, and that his mother had sent him to live with her until Nellie was better, and Nellle we understood to be his We knew the hoy had not been in the carriage with us, so we questioned Will- jams, the ccachman, and he said the boy rode on the box with him. The station- ter pieced him there. William says. iams knew that the boy was not one of ours, but thought that as we had been visiting some relatives, we had brought one of their children back with us, and there- Tore he raised no question, ant on arrival here lifted the boy down, and he passed in- to the house with the rest of the children.” “I think it is all quite clear now, Sir Philip,” I said, “and the explanation of what seemed a yery mysterious disappear- ance is, after all, a simple on: “T feel that I have failed } said the baronet; “I ought to have sent word to the station in anticipation of in- quiries being made for the boy. But last night we were all upset in consequence of the accident to my son, and it was very late before we could fully realize the po- sition of affairs, Ard then, as you know, the distance to the station is rather con- siderable.

In the drawer of a small cabinet in the same room is a letter, also very highly valued, which reads as fellows: “Dear Mr. Barnes: I want you to be good enough to accept from me the ac- companying photograph of my boy, as a memento of your successful search for him on the occasion which you, no doubt, so well remember.

Friday and Saturday the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will celebrate the thirty-second anniversary of the organiza- tion of the order in Pittsburg. Several of the Grand Lodge officers are to be there. D. Everett of Cleveland, third engineer of the Grand Lodge, will be present, and P. Fen- nel, who is known as “Shandy McGuire,” the poet of the brotherhood, Is also pledged to come. On Friday morning at 9 o'clock a secret meeting will be held. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon an open meeting will be held in the Bijou Theater. Governor Hast- ings, Mayor McKenna of Pittsburg and Mayor Kennedy of Allegheny and others will deliver addresses. On Saturday an in- vitation picnic will be held at Aliquippa. ——__+e+—__ Ezcta’s Latest Proclamation. General Ezeta has issued another proc- lamation to the citizens of San Sal- vador in which he says he will soon return to the country to lead a revolt against the government. The army is discontented, he and will welcome him back as its Ezeta declares that President Guiterros is a tool of Guatemala, the old- time enemy of San Salvador, and by his deceit has practically surrendered all that was gained in the war of 1890. ee Silver Knights in California. Senator Perkins, Congressman Hilborn and a number of other politicians have sent to the recording secretary of the Silver Knights, at Washington, for a charter, with a view to establishing a branch of the order in San Francisco. It is said that branches will also be formed at San Fran- cisco and other cities throughout the state. The Star Out of Town.

MR. PALMER'S CONDUCT PRAISED English Eager to Take a Race on a Technicality. MANLY SPORT IN GENERAL COWES, Isle of Wight, August 13.—A great deal of interest is taken here and elsewhere in yachting circles in the match race which is to be sailed tomorrow, under the auspices of the Royal Yacht Squadron sailing committee between Mr. R. 8. Pal- mer’s crack schooner cruiser Yampa ani Mr. Wills’ cruiser schooner Amphitrite for £100, over the old queen’s course. This is the course sailed on Wednesday last, when Yampa won Lord Iveagh’s 200 guinea cup, but was afterward disqualified on the protest of Mr. Wills, owner of Am- phitrite, on the ground that Yampa carried nine more hands than the -regulations al- low:.d. This was not denied by Mr. Palmer, who has acted throughout in the most sports- man-like manner, the mistake being simply du2 to his failure to read the rules before agreeing to start in the race. The contest to be decided tomorrow was brought about with the view of allowing Yampa to definitely decide her superiority over Amphitrite, and, in order to show that the Royal Yacht Squadron fully appreciates Mr. Paimer’s position in the matter. Mr. Palmer formally challenged Mr. Wills to sail a match for 100 guineas aside over the same course and under practically similar conditions, the only substantial dif- ference therein being that no limit is placed on the number of hands or guests either yacht may carry. This challenge, which fs issued under the auspices of-the Royal Yacht Squadron com- mittee, was accepted. After the race which the Yampa recently won the owner of the Amphitrite lodged a protest against the cup being given to the Yampa on the ground that the American boat had extra men on board, and had therefore, violated the rule which provides that in races in cruising trim no hands other than the pilot can be carried in addi- tion to the regular crew. The sailing com- mittee found that the facts sustained the protest and disqualified the Yampa. Britannia Wins on Time Allowance. Bad weather today marked the opening of the regatta of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club. Ailsa, Britannia, Namara, Caress and Isclde started in the race for the queen's cup cver a ceurse fifty miles long. Britannia got over the line too soon and Was recalled, causing her to lose two min- ute: The weather subsequently improved and the first round was finished as follows: Ailsa, 12:08:18; Britannia, 12:10:11; Isolde, 12:31:20; Caress, 12:35:30; Namara retired from the race. Ailsa crossed the finish line first, but Britannia won on time allowance. The fol- lowing are the times at the finish: Ailsa, ; Britannia, SENATORS BEATEN AGAIN. Anderson Muffs an Easy Fly, Giving Boston the Winning Run. Errors by Nash in the ninth inning at Boston yesterday allowed the Washingtons to tie the score, and a muff of an easy fly by Anderson gave the winning run to Bos- ton in the tenth..

The Ruling Passion. The games in which New York takes part have been represented in a New York the- ater recently with papier mache players and a wooden umpire. As each boy passed the doorkeeper to the gallery yesterday an attendant minutely examined his outside pockets. The third youngster panned out about a quart of pebbles as big as duck’s , dat’s all right,” said he. “Dey’s just a few rocks I'se going to chuck at de empire. He's made of wood, anyway, and it won’t hurt him. Der New Yorks is sure to lose, and I want to get back at some- think.”” At one time yesterday New York tad three men on bases. Fuller popped up a little fly to Carey and Tiernan was called out on strikes. Umpire Emslie was hooted for this decision. The small boys couldn't, of course, see whether the ball went over the plate or not, as the play took place in Baltimore, but they broke out into yells on the general theory that New York was in the right. “Dat's de rottenest decision I seen to- day,” remarked Paddy Swiggs, first row in the gallery. “Awful replied his chum. “Couldn’t a been a strike or he'd a hit it.” And they howled for the “empire's” blood. The umpire, a little black lay fig- ure, turned round and bowed. This en- raged them all the more. Base Ball Notes. The Boston papers say that “Watch” Burnham is umpiring good ball and that the players are abusing him simply from force of habit. Otis Stocksdale, released by Washington, says he had been trying to get his release for some time, but that the Wagners would not give it to him. This seems to indicate that he has something in sight. The Baltimores, by taking another game from the Giants yesterday, tied the Pirates for second place. They are within eighteen points of the leaders. The Bridegrooms are tied with the Giants for eighth place, as the result of having defeated the Quakers. Pitcher Albert Orth of the Lynchburg ‘Base Ball Club has been sold to the Phila- delphia National League club. It is under- stood that the amount paid for Orth’s re-. lease is not less than $1,000. Outfielder William Hoy has signed a new contract to finish the season with the Cin- cinnati Reds. This action was taken after a consultation between Brush, Lloyd and Ewing, in which it was decided that it would be policy to keep Hoy as a utility man for the rest of the season, and have him on the reserve list of the club for next ear. Catcher Williams of the Anderson, Ind., team has been signed by Cincinnati, and will be taken east for use in case Vaughn is injured. Vaughn is now Cincinnati’s only catcher. Latham will not be released. “You can say,” said Capt. Ewing, “that Latham will finish the season in his pres- ent position on the bench.” : Manager Frank Selee says that the Bos- ton team must be materially strengthened before the opening game in 1896. “I am satisfied,” said he, ‘that we must get about four or five new men, and they must be first-class men at tha Now, if Selee will let Washington have those four or five we will be fixed. All sorts of reasons were given for the absence of Third Baseman Davis from the game at Baltimore yesterday. The true one is that he left town to escape service in a sult entered by McGraw, to recover his share of the Temple cup series receipts, and that McGraw, in the absence of Davis, at- tached New York’s share of the receipts of the game. Another story was that Davis, angry with Capt. Doyle, abandoned the team. CLOSE AND INTERESTING. Georgetown Athletics and Market Houxe Men Play. A decidedly close and interesting game was played at National Park yesterday be- tween the Market Hovse nine and the Georgetown Athletic Club nine. The cheer- ing was almost incessant.

Fighting Over Umpire's Decisions. Disputes over the umpire’s decisions cul- minated in a riot at the Norfolk ball grounds yesterday. The game was between Richmond and Norfolk, and as the decisions of Umpire Rafferty did not please the Rich- mond rooters present, two of them made a rush for him. The Norfolk men rushed to his assistance, and more Richmonders en- tered the diamond, and a free fight ensued. Knives, sticks, bats, hatchets and pistols were used by ‘the infuriated men. As the result of the fight William Ford, manager of the Richmond team, and John J. Wood of Norfolk were badly injured before the police could interfer An Extensive Bicycle Tour. Two young college students from Steu- berville, Ohio, H. P. McGowan and B. F. Fisher, passed through Washington today on the way to New York, where they pro- pose to take ship for Antwerp and then commence an extensive bicycle tour through Europe. They will visit, on their wheels, Germany, Austria, Greece, Asia Minor, and after crossing the Mediterran- ean will wheel up the banks of the Nile for some distance, the latter being a novel route for bicyclists. They will return through Italy, Switzerland, France and England, and ‘expect to be absent twelve or fifteen months. The young men speak Italian, French and German, and are tak- ing the trip for the educational benefits they expect to deriv ENGLISH HAV E CONFIDENCE. The London Chronicle” Thinks Val- kyrie Will Win the Cup. The London Chronicle has an editorial on Valkyrie III's chances and complains of the shortness of time to get her in trim. The Chronicle, however, ventures to predict that she will win the cup. Comparing the two yachts, it goes on to say: “Both are built on identical lines, and the result will depend upon the skill of the de- sign, the fit out of the sails and the genius of the helmsman, in each of which we con- sider ourselves somewhat superior to the Americans. Messrs. Watson, Henderson, Lathrop and Cranfield are names to be backed against the world. “In this race, moreover, a previous error has been repaired. Many critics are alarmed to find Valkyrie IiI overcanvassed. This was done with a set purpose to adapt her to the lighter American winds. From all accounts it does not seem that Defender is a superlatively excellent sailer. The En- glish vessel never before had such a good chance cf viciory. If the cup comes back it will stay here. THE CHAMPION BEATEN. Larned Defeats Wrenn in the Nor- wood Tournament. Champion Wrern lest a great match to Larned at Norwood Park, N.J., yesterday, the Summii erack winning his fifth cup. ‘The match was for blood, Larned being de- termined to wipe out his defeat by Wrenn in the second round of the tournament, while Wrenn struggled desperately to avotd the three-straight dose which the Jersey- man had prepared for him. Larned started in to play carefully, ang his drives were beautifully placed right through the match. Wrenn was of little ase at the net against Larned’s great control of the ball, and several times when he had an essy chance he smashed away out. The weather was boiling hot, and both players suffered severely. Larred takes a handsomo silver chafing dish in addition to the cup, Wrenn being consoled with a silver-mounted cut glass carafe. The summary: William A. Larned, Summit, N.J., beat Bokert D. Wrenn, Chicago, ll, 6-3, 6—1, WITH THE CHESS PLAYERS. Secres of the Sixth Round in the Big Tournament. ‘The sixth round of the chess tournament played at Hastings, Eng., yesterday re- sulted as follows: Schieffers beat Blackburn in a French defense after 32 moves. Tschigorin beat Teichman in a French defense after 31 moves. Pillsbury beat Mieses in a Vienna open- ing after 20 moves. maIbin and Schlechter drew a Petroff de- ferse after 30 moves. a Lasker beat Janowski in a queen's gam- bit after 34 moves. Walbrodt beat Vergan in a P. Q. 4 open- ing after 30 moves. Pollock beat Steinitz in a Giuoco piano after 56 moves. Burn beat Tinsley in a P. Q. 4 opening after 40 moves. Marco and Bird drew a Ruy Lopez after 36_moves. Gunsberg and Tarrasch drew a P. Q. 4 opening after 46 moves. "Mason and Bardleben adjourned their ome. She sensation of the day was the defeat of Steinitz, who went down before Pollock. ‘The game was a remarkably fine one, and Pollock received congratulations .on_ his victory. Inasmuch as Tschigorin, Pills- bury and Schiffers also turned out to be winners, the Russian now leads the latter two experts and Steinitz with half a point. ‘The veteran Steinitz opened against Pol- lock with a Giuoco Piano. Honors stood easy throughout the opening and the greater part of the middle game stage. Then Steinitz got into difficulties, mainly brought about by a most beautifully con- ceived combination on the part of black. Much as white tried to neutralize Pol- lock’s sterling play, it was to no avail, for Pollock found at every stage the only cor- rect move to insure him in possession of the advantage. At the fortieth move Stein- itz made a last heroic effort, but again Pollock was equal to the occasion and won finely after fifty-six moves. Pillsbury, who conducted the black pieces in a Vienna game opened’ by Mieses, won easily after twenty moves. The Ger- man expert compromised his position in the opening, and on Pillsbury playing craftily and finely, Mieses had to resign. defense adopted by Teichmanr. It was a Genfense adopted by Teichmann. It was a wonderful way in which he commenced pressing his adversary after the few open- ing moves were made. The Russian knows better than perhaps any other expert how to rush things ingeniously, and he had Teichmann at his mercy after about twen- ty-five moves. The latter could do nothing against Tschigorin’s attack, and when call- ed upon to make the thirty-first move he gave up the fight. The experiment as tried by Janowski to accept a queen’s gambit as offered to him by Lasker did not prove successful. The ‘Feuton had his own way right through the game, and administered a neat defeat to the Parisian after thirty-four moves. ‘Tschigorin’s countryman, Schiffers, hed also to contend against a French defense selected by Blackburne as second player. The latter, who was justly considered to be the finest French defense player in the world, committed a strategical error in the opening, much to the surprise of the on- lookers. Schiffers at once made use of his opponent’s weak move, and, in spite of the Britisher’s resistance, he registered the win after thirty-two moves. JOE PATCHEN GOES WEST. The Preposed Race With Gentry Falls ‘Through. BUFFALO, N. Y., August 13.—Joe Patch- en will be shipped to Milwaukee to go an exhibition mile for a purse of $1,500. Col. ‘Taylor wanted a match between Joe Patch- en, John R. Gentry and Robert J. for $5,000 a side, the distance flag to be moved within fifty yards of the wire. This he fail- ed to get, because after Robert J. had been beaten by Joe Patchen last Thursday, the Hamlins refused to set him up a second time. Instead, they offered $2,000 for the race between Gentry and Patchen, leaving Robert J. out, but Col. Taylor would not consent, alleging that his stallion would be at a disadvantage, as he had just had @ bruising race, while Gentry was fresh. Gentry, Patchen and Robert J. will meet at Fleetwood Park the last week in Au- gust and not before then. THOSE ALLEGED STEEL SPARS. Mr. Kersey Will Not Dixscass the Val- kyrie’s Rig. NEW YORK, August 13.—Mr. H. Mait- land Kersey, Lord Dunraven’s representa- tive, was at his desk in the office of the White Star line early this morning, having just arrived from Newport. A representa- tive of the Associated Press asked him if he would give something of a description of the spars and sails that came over on the Furnessia, but he would only say: “They are the racing sails and spars of the Valkyrie III, and all of them; that is all that need be said.” “Ig one set of spars made of steel?” was asked. “I have nothing to say about that,” was the answer. Neither would Mr. Kersey say when the freight would be taken off the Furnessia’s deck nor what would be done with it when taken from the steamer.
