They were Just coming from the depot and had struck the sidewalk in front of the main business portion of the town when they heard a cry for help. It seewed to come from under the sidewalk. “For God’s sake help me out. The urgent appeal was repeated. Grips were dropped and the two began a hurried iuvestigation to see where in the world the voice came from, It secmed certain that someone was under the sidewalk, and in great distress. They began trying to’ force up some of the piauks in order o get to the rolief of the poor sufferer, when they saw a number of fellows at the corner, evidently convulsed with laughter. The two let go of the plank, aud caught onto 1he joke. A piece of gas pipe had been run along about half the length of the block, supported by posts, and used as a rail to which to tie horses, Each end of the long streteh of pipe was open, By shouting in oue end the volee was carried to the other in snch a peculiar manner as to entirely mislead the hearer. — Stork would not leave the town until he had got sweet revenge by shouting through the Pipn- at another innocent victin, and frightening him into a belief that some 0o wis about o shoot.

Lixcovy, Neb., Nov. 9—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bew]—The people of Lincoln up over the work of some dastard who during the past few nights has been apolying theincendial mateh to barns and other structures in var- fous parts of the city. Last night again the miscreant got fn his destructive work, The firstcall on tho firo department, was sent in shortly after 7o'clock. The firemen wore cailed to Thirteenth near Qstreet where vol- umes of smoke ere scen pouring out of Judge Stewart's cellar. Only sbout twenty- four hours beforo the department had been called to the sime place to save the barn which ind been set on fire by some incendiary. Fortunately tho flames had not gained much headway last evening when the firemen ar- rived and the house was saved after an honr's work. About 11 :30 another alarm was turned in. This time it wns discovered thattheun- occupied barn at 1620 Q street was on fire, Tn a fow minutes the flimes were communi- cated to a barn across the alley, belonging to C. W. Keith. Mr, Keith and " his son-in-law, R. M. Hadley, had barely time to rush into the burning barn, cut loose two horses and gt them ot when the roof fell in. — A horse belonging to Mr. Hudley was burned to leath. “T'ho flames next spread to two other barns, one belonging to Mr. Kerns, Both of these barns were gutted, while the first two men- tioned above wero burned to the ground. The contents of all the barns were consumed. Noue of the structures were insured, FOR THE 1088 OF THEIR SON. Enoch W. and Sarah C. Protsman, the parents of Clarengo K. Protsmay, tho fireman burned to death in Bohanon's_ barn May 25, have sued the city to recover £,000 damages in the loss of their son. In the petition the parents claim that on the date mentined their son, who was a regular tireman under the command of Chief Newbury, was cave- lessly and negligently ordered to ‘carry into Bohanan's barn on South Tenth street, then on fire, alineof hose for the purpose of ex- tinguishing said fire; that he was permitted there to remain in the dischargo of his duty until the joists und vafters of the building be- camo 50 burned that the floor and roof fell in upon him, by, reason of which hewas crushed and burned to an extent that death was im- mediate, The plaintiffs further allege that the said Clarance Protsman was their main support, they being without property or real estate of any kind, or any effeets other than household goods, and that he regularly con- tributed to theirsupport, and as they are now respectively aged fifty-nine and forty- nine years, infirm and unable to properly pro- vido for themselves, by reason of his wrong- ful death, they have been caused great pain, anguish and expense, and are damaged to the sum of $,000, which sum they ask with in- terest from May 25, 1880, ABOUT SEVEN THOUSAND REGISTERED, Yesterday was the last day of registration and yet there was no greater rush of voters to be oirolled than there has been any other day. At present there are only 6,934 names rogis- tered, only alittle more than tvo-thirds of the actual number of voters in Lincoln.

During the parade yesterduy two children were seriously hurt. ‘One, a daughter of I, B. Chapman, at Fourteenth and T streets, while riding on horseback n the procession, got her feet caught in a buggy wheel and was thrown violently to the ground. She was stunuad and received internal injuries that may prove serious. The other child hurt was the seven-year-oldson of H. Burt at 233 Q street. The little fellow, while marching in the parade, was run over by & man ou horseback and badly cut over the head and shoulder. His injuries are external only, GET THE NAMES RIGNT. Walt Seeley, secretary of the republican state central committee, says that too much attention cannot be paid to the matter of get- ting tho names of the candidates correct on the tickets. Every name printed wrong is & vote less for the man for whom it was in- tended. The candidate at present who bids fair to suffer seriously from this mistake is Augustin Humphrey, ropublican nomineo for land commissioner. On some of the tickets already printed his name wrongly ap- pears as George and on others as August, without the final *in.” As far as possiblo these tickets will be destroyed and correct oaes substituted.

Two Aged Sisters Living ina Hovel ‘Without Roofor Floor. Several members of the Mount Adams Gun club just returned from the vicinity of Now Trenton, Ind,, tell a strange story, says a Cincinnati correspondent of the Chicago Times, They ran across a dilapi- duted old log cabin that looked as if it had been there for a century. It stands in the mid- dle of 105 acres of ns Breu%' farming land as there is in that part o the country. The men, thinking the place uninhabited, went to the door and pushed it open, whento their surprise they found it occupied by two aged women, gray-haired, weazen-faced and accrepit. The floor, which was the bare earth, was the parade ground of a lot of fowls. In one corner the roof was off, and underthisvacant place wasa pool olwater in which a number of ducks were wad- dling and expressing their delight with loud quacking. In another corner was an old-fashioned canopy bed. The posts were seven feet high and supported the voof. The women became enraged at the 1ntrusion of the hunters and in husky voices ordered them to leave. Inquiry among the neigh- bors revealed the fact the couple are sis- ters named Hayes. Mary Ann is the oldest, aged sixty, and Bridget is fifty- eight. The oldest inhabitants remem- bor them as sisters only. No man wus ever seen about the place. How they exist is a mystery, They do not farm. They have a cow, and it luuSpnmd they live on milk and fowl, Bridget is the more eccentric. She goes to bed in Oc- tober and mnever gets up until April, the other sister administering to her every want as though she were an invalid. They will accept mno charity and become fearfully enraged whena male person crosses their property. The land is worth $50,000, but they resent all proposals for a sale. It is said that there is an agreement between the sisters that when one dies the other is to follow im- mediately by suicide, leaving the prop- erty to the Catholic church at Harri- son, O. - MARK KERR'S GREAT FEAT. His Heroic Struggle to Reach the Sum- mit of St, Elias. Mark Kerr returned from Alaska to San Francisco remntli'. The New York World correspondent learned from him some of his more important discoveries. Proceeding in a northwesterly line from Yakutat Bay with Russell and six assis- tants, he reached a &»olnt twenty-five miles from the bay, and at 1,500 feet ele- vation, wheve he found an island sur- rounded by a glacial stream and covered with flowers and verdure, From there the party struck across the St, Ellas range, finding a natural over the largest glacier in the world, ten miles wide to tho interior. Approsching Mount St, Elias from behind, and on the northwest spur, after fearfully exciting adventures they finally reached a slope leading over hard snow to the crest of St. Elias, However they only got. within 4,000 feet, {the top, because terrible and continu- ous snow storms and lack of provisions drove them back. Acurate ohservations were continually made and the results ave very interesting. Itis cortain that the crest of St. Elias is within the lmumll?' of the Unmited S‘ates and not in British territory. He also discovered that St. Elias is nearly five thousand feet lower than i%s proviously calculated height. A buge range of mountains with half a dozen 12,000 foot peaks lies behind the St. s range, Little crystaline rock was found but the formation is mostly siate and flint, The story of Russell and Kerr's last struggle without companions to reach the crest is very thrilling.

Fven in death there was a mute look of terror in the blood-shot eyes, and the bloated fuce had grown pale and gard at the coming of the grim destroyer, “Drink! said tho coro- ner's jury, butan old man who came and tooked fora long time on the pale, dead face, said, with a shudder, ashe turned away, “It was the hand of God.”” This man who died i tho gutter was the last of a fatel thirteen, and in the death of each and all of them the Christian will read the vengenance of an in= sulted Dei At the leading hotel in a southern the summer of 1863, thir they uniform of jconfoderate officers, down to a dinner. ery man in the p: belonged to & grand old southern family, and many of the names ave illustrious in the listory of the country. Every man was a cavalior. T Vi vs of the old south, represeutatives of the chivalry of the sunny land, then enveloped in the gloom of defeat and despair. Kvery man there had been a gallant soldier in the confederato army. They had veturned from the field of defeat to fina their homes destroyed, their slaves free, their wealth gone and many of their nearest and dearest relativ and frienls dead. The meeting at this hotel was achance one, but talking over the situation in which the found themselves, they resolved to forget the horror of it for a while to drown theirsorrows in drink. They sut down to and round after round of drinks were * ordered. Soon the bloody scenes of war, the visions of ruined homes, were all forgotten. First they became merry, then reckless. “Let us call this the last supper,”’suddenly exclaimed one of tho party, and the sugges- tion met with instant approval. They might never meet again, so ‘‘the last supper” would be a fitting name fora feast where reason iad fled. More drinks were ordered, every man filled his glass, the lights were turned low and the thirteen men declared themselves Christ and his twelve apostles. A young man who had commanded a regiment acted the role of Christ, and for the occasion each man assumed the name of one of the apostles. There was a wrangle as to who should imper- sonate Judas, but more drinks were ordered, and then a young lieutenant agreed to act the character of the betrayer of his Savior. It was midnight, but the peals of dranken laughter awoke the echoes in every nook and corner of the old house, Again and again the decanters were passed around and the blasphemous mockery of the lastsupper went on. A bible was called for, and the young officer who was impersonating the Savior turned to the New Testament and read aloud the solemn words of Christ. Tho reading was interrupted now and then by some coarse jest or ribald laughter, while ox‘)rensifl s like “Judas. pass the bottle,” woall excite the mirth of the drunken men to a point that com- pletely drowned the voice of the reader. At*| the proper point in the reading bread was passed around, and the wine was represented by glasses filled to the brim with brandy. ““He that drinketh from the bottle with me shall betry me!” exciaimed the mock rist in & tragic manner, and placing a decanter to his lips he swallowed a quantity of brandy, then passed it to Judas across the table. This was greeted with pealsof lwughter, and again the other mock apostles yelled, “Judas, pass the bottlo!

Then they sep- arated. Thatsupper had fndeed been their last; they never met again. From that night the vengeance of God fol- lowed those thirteen men. Iverthing they undertook failed. Apples of gold turned to Dead sea fruit in their hands. One by one they went to the dogs, aud every man of them meta horrible and disgraceful death. Re- peated failure in business drove someof them to desperation and crime. One of them was lynched in Texas for murder. The young man who had impersonated Christ was drowned in tne Brazos river while fleeing from a vigilauce committee on @ stolen horse and his body was never recovered, Another, whilo ina drunken stupor, was caught in a burning building and peristied in the flames. One was stabbed to the heart by a woman he had betrayed, and still another was murdered in a low brotliel in a western city. So faras can be learned, not one of them ever received Christian burial, and their graves are un- marked and unknown, Theman who died in the gutter and was buried in the potter's field was the last of the thirteen, A strange story is told of a haunted house in Monroe county, Tennessee, near Madison - ville, This section of the state was settled during the revolutionary war and the older people will remember o large square house uilt on the side of a house, v a Chatta- nooga correspondent of the'St. Louis Globe- Dewocrat, 1t was the homo of an American officor.

The house was built of logs, the largest oneat that time in this section. 1t had two storics, four rooms on_tho_first floor and two on the sccond floor. To the early pioneers it ‘was quite a mansion, After remaining for a few weeks with his family the young ofticer went to the front, where e wis killed. Soon afterward his littie child sickencd - aud dicd, and the young wife was left alone. She roturued to her father’s home when the war closed and the big house was tenantless Several familics tried to live init, but nouo, it appears, remainod more than @ fow days, They all told & similar story.

For years it stood tenantless, and the neighby regarded it with superstitious awe. Occasionally the form of the soldier couid be seen ason horseback he left the house. One night about five years agoa bright blaze shot out fom the roof of the old house, and the neighbors gathered to seeit burn At one of the windows could be secn tho form of the Continental soldier dressed in his uniform, while in his arms he held his little babe. Tt was s0 real that a cry of horror went up from those wround, but the form did not mwove, there was no sound aud the flames soon enyeloped the entire house.
