FACTS ABOUT FILLING ,
T ha Extravagant Price at Whidi Con
tracts Are Let by foe City ,
An
The city council has lately let several
contracts for filling streets in the Fourth
ward at 37 cents a cable yard. Tlrs is ,
of course , to be charged to the abutting
property , the owners of which have to
pay this amount sooner or later under
the pressnt law , unless they can make
some tub-contract or private arrangement
with the men getting those contract ; .
It Is stated that private contract ! arc
being made for hauling dirt Into these
same s'rseSs ' for from 10 cents to 12J
certi a yard , just one-third of the price
at which the public contracts are lot.
The excuse Is nude that the council
leti the contracts to the lowest bidders ,
and tint contractors who will fill for a
responsible private party at 10 cents ,
uill cot make a contract with the city
for loss than three times that amount ,
becacsa In the ciso of the private In-
diridcal th ° yare ceitiln < > f their pay , and
sure cf receiving it promptly , while with
the contracts made with the council , there
Is eomo uncertainty as to how they will
bo atl'ected by the casoa now pending in
court.
To cover Urn uncertainty s tn when
they will 1)3 paid , and whether they will
be paid by the property uwucracr a special
asseesmcnt , or I/ the city by a pouoral
warrant , they add to the cash value u !
the woik two hundred per cent.
The contractors may ba justified in
adding to a cash bid some amount to cover
the uncertainty uf payment which they
cUim to feel. Tnty certainly have tha
right to put in just such bids us they
wint to , without regard to whoihar they
are too high or too low , bat tbo council
his a'sa the right to reject aoy and all
bids , and sbonld exercise this tight.
So long as this uncertainly exists , and
so long as contractors insist on coveting
thg supposed risk with an additional
price uf two hundred per cent , the coun
cil ( hall cease awarding contracts.
Tne CDuncil la supposed to protect the
interests of property owners , and It is
certainly no protection to allow work to
be done and charged np to propatty
at three times the cost for which the
work could bo done by private parties.

'hough the great untrtgis that had

rouble was in the air , men came and
went with athrea'ening look of prjccs-
tlon , and the verihy of ocr a-rlval
as signalizid by one of chose wild deeds
hlch had ahcidy carntd for tbe district
n unenvitiblo notoriety.
For veuks past Mr. Smi'h , Lord Sligo's
gent , had been wa'tied that ho would bo
'shot' whenever he ventured up in the
; 1 omy road nhich winds between the
i-unfains from Ballycroy to Mulrany.
Vhat his precise otlbnso was 1 was never
bio to learn , but , for one reason or an
ther , he was a "marked" man. What a
haraetcristic refinement of politeness , his
cret cnemus had no iBed him of his
oem , had indicated the place , and , con-
itionally , the time of his assassiiutioa.
sotbing , it will bo conf ssed , could have
> een more considerate. Mr. Smith seems
o have understood bis danger perfectly ,
hough be frequently ma IB light of it ,
nd for omo time he wai careful not to
enture on the scene fixed for the murder.
At last , however , he found it abso'ute'y '
iccessary to tiavel along that very read.
On the afternoon in question Mr.
Smith dined with the ReAh - Ramsey ,
minister uf Ballycroy. Ho lingered for
omo time o\er his wine , but finally ,
when the e\ening shades were falhne , ci-
lered his horse and car to be made icady
ind prepared to go.
"Why hurry away so early ? " asked the
iospltablo miniater , who know nothing
of the state of affairs. "It's going to be
fine night. "
"Just so , ' replied the agent , smiling
rather nervously ; "but tbe fact is , I have
an appointment en the highway beyond
Ballycroy. "
"Indeed lather a lonely place for an
appointment. ' '
THE SORT IT WAS.
'The lonelier tin bett r , since it ii an
appointment to bo murdered1' returned
tlr. Smith , preduclng from his pocket
ho last threatening letter , in which tbe
ilaco was so ingenuously specified. "On
he whole yon wH ag.-ea that I had biter -
; er ba Rolng before tne night has entirely
'alien.
Rejecting all cnlr.'atleo to remain ti 1
mcrom , and ptss through the danger
ous neighborhood in the full light of day ,
the courageous agent mounted bis Irish
car and drove away. His only compan-
on ( with the exception of the driver , a
jrim , plucky fellow , Jamous for his nar
row escspes when conducting "marked
pasiengers from place to place ) was his
onri son , a youth between 18 ana 19 yean
of ago. Mr. Smith carried loaded pie
tols ; young Smith waa armed , curious'y '
enough , with a small title , such as is usec
for shooting rooks.
They passed along rapidly In tbo shad
ow of the hills , through such a scene o
desolation as Is to ba fiund only in Ire
land , between gloomy reaches of bog anc
moorland , and often along the very edge
of a great cs'.uarv of the sea. Hero and
there was a mad cabin , with troglodytes
clustering at the door , but upon the lone
ly road itself they sarcely met a soul.
Nothing happened till they pasied Bally-
reeny , a dcjchto and deaeitad lodge
about midway between Ballycroy anc
Mulrany. Hero the road winds right
under the mountains. The scene was
forbidding in the extreme and it was al
ready almost dark.
Nevertheless , they were congratulating
thuinolvas on their safety and smiling a
the danger which they now thought they
bad elaborated , when suddenly , aa they
passed over a small bridge , spanning a
t ny runlet , wild fignrei rose ci tfct
rcadwoy , aud tbe ambuscade was re
vealed'
Bangl bang ! bang ! went teycral guna
elugs and bullets whistled In the air. The
horse started off at full gallop , with shots
ra'iiing round his head. Strange to say
not a tool was a penny Ui3 worse ! Bu
young Smith , before the car had gone
many ytrJs , jumped from hia seat , and
with rifle in hand , stood ready to facu trie
enemy on the roids'de !
By this tlmo they were all in ful
tlicht : all sive cno tad disappeared ; bu
that one , running up a small hillock
twenty yards away , and gripping a
four-barreled gun , was preparing to turn
and fira a parting shot. In a momen
the boy co\ered him azd fired. The
ruffian fell forward on his face , ( tone
dead , sbo ; through tbe heart.
Mtantlme the driver had rcrgnoi up
h's ' horse , some hundred yards away
Young Smith rin on , joined hia father
and explained whit hai occurred. Tneu
tbey drove on rapidly to Mnlrany , gave
information to tbo j.olice , and butane :
on to Westport , twenty miles away.

Doctor Tom , turning the gastly face u |

The deid man was a powerful , thick

And , indeed , that teemed the enl

A lUn-LOOKIXO BACK YilU ) .
Nest day I strolled rtumd to the police
> arrack. The body was lying m the
tone-paved bac't j ard , the face turned up
0 the open sky and smeared w ith dar
ore. All around tha place was like a
.augh'o'-hoiise. A rioit-niortem had
jcen made by the local doctor ( not our
ively j'iend from Ach 11) ) who , for lack of
iropet instruments , bad simply used a
: hisel. The blood , which after the mor
al wound , had oxtravasatcd into the in-
ernal cavijies , had i routed foith in a
hick fountain when those civities were
perled. It was a hidooiis sight. Ciui-
us it was ajain to note the forefinger of
he right hand still crooked in the act to
ouch the trigger , and now fixed as hard
is stone by rigor mortis.
At tbo loqutst , which took place a llt-
le later at Ballycroy , a verdict was re-
urncd acquitting ycung Smith of inten-
ion of morder. He and his father were
broughtOvcr under strong escorts of po-
ice , amid the execrat'ons of the popu-
ace. It talncd threatening letters. Be-
ides the twoSmUts everyone of the
ttiymen received thea. JSomo endeavor
was made to trace the accomplices of the
dead imr. , bat without avail. Ona of
he jurymen , a gentleman popular in the
district , deposed at tlu fira ; meeting that
he recognized tbc g4ia found in the deul
man a possession aa a gun belonging to
an Innkeeper in Ballycr y. Questioned
and crosc-queatloned , ha svtorj that ho
could net be mistaken. " 1 know the
ira'ki cf It , ho said , "and I'vo often had
"t In my band. " But at the second meel-
ng , a few dajs ! atar , hia memory entire-
y failed him. When the gun wts
ilaced before him ho looked at it vacant-
y , and when asked if ho recognized ik ,
ladly shook hia head. Taxed with his
'ormtr statement , ho refused in any way
; o corroborate it. "Sure I must bare
Dean dreaming , cr in drink , " he taid. Of
coarse the explanation of the change was
rery simple. The gen Isman had been
nformed that short work would certainly
30 made of him if be persisted ia having
so good a memory.
Nothing mcra waa ever known of the
olanaers of this outrage. The excite-
nent cf tbe people gradually died away.
Young Smith quietly left the country ,
'or ' a tine , at least , and was careful note
: o leave his address , and Mr. Smith , Sr. ,
aetook himself to Dub'in.
Meantime , wa bad beiotuo qu tj at
home at Mulrany , and we teen realized
that life and property , apart from sgrar-
lan outrages , were quite as safe there as
in any part cf the world. Yttiiwaia
"warm ' districtA Scctiih farmer had
been shot dead there at broad noon one
Sunday when seated on his car , with his
wife by his side. His wife remainad on
the farm , formidable . "widdj" woman.
If treafaieers or cattle came upon her
[ and she drove them off savagely , end
when the psasanls remonstrated she cried :
" 'You ' killrd my husband , yon cowards'
Kill me , too , if you have tbc courage !
Cnriocslf enough , they wera very gentle
with her , and respected her grief.
In my own fishing and shooting expe
ditions I became very familiar with the
landlord shooters. Ono of them , whom
1 frequently employed as gillie , fiahtr-
man or b. aiman , was notorious In the
district as tbo man who had been cbosen
to polish off Mr. Granite ( as 1 called him ]
a rich Englishman who owned most oi
the land about Mu'riny. O'Connor , my
factotum , waa a little , pale , pertinacious
fellow of about thirty , good-tempered ,
with a deal cf native wit and drollery.
I questioned him moe tban once as to
the truth of the nimcrj about himself.
I pointed out the wickedness and folly ol
assassination. He answered mo witn a
smile that was childlike and bland.

"Sure , now , Your Honor , I put It to
yourself : What harm won d there to

But when I went further and quee
bloued him of the reason which made him
bate his own landlord , ho becaruo trans
Formed. With moist eyes and quiverIng -
Ing lips , ho told ma such a tola of his
o\\n experiences as almost converted
me , for the moment , to his own aveng

All this time the said Mr. Grani'e waa
going about under police protection. He
himself went armed to the teeth , and a
crckney servant of his , also pruned like a
mitrailleuse , generally attended him
O'Connor hiraeelf delighted In perceiv
ing the especial terror with which the
landlord regarded him whenever they
happened to meet. On ono cccaslon
when I was out ssal-shooting with
O'Connor and a seal wait ConnaujJit man
in attendance , we taw passing alorg the
shore , acme hundred yards away , a
strange procession. First criwled a cat
with several armed pol'cencan. next came
a high dog-cart , with Mr. Granlto driv
ing , and tbe cockney servant , a ple.ol in
each hand , seated at hia side , and cran
Ing his neck to search every come : o
the rosd. List came a couple more
policemen with rifles , on foot ,
At sight of the procetsion my twc
boatmen exploded with laughter.
"It's a a mighty fine funeral , " said
O'Connor , "and Sam , the footman
looks ia morning for his master already
Sure , now , your honor , yon'd nerar like
to be drawn about like that ! "
"Try a shot at him , aorl"cried theotb
er , grinning savagely and pointing to the
gun at my side.
"Excuse me , " I replied. "I'm shoot

Hero O'Connor , fairly trembling , but
forcing a tickly smile , bent towards me
eagerly. Hia faca was quite white and
bloodless , and his whole manner had un

"Land mo your gun , your honor , " he
exclaimed.
