A brutal instance of indiscreet newspaper enterprise came to light in the arrest of a young woman Tliursday evening iy OfficerMcdure , on a charge of robbery ; Last Sunday morning ThejTerald printed the story of this young woman , who has been quietly at work in this city earning her living , as well as making a most commend able effort to bury a record of frailty and misfortune , but as the story itself shows , not of crime. In conversation with a BEE repor- ter this morning , this young person told her story in the following heart rending terms : "The story printed in last Sunday's Herald in respect to myself is substan tially correct , but ao long as I live I shall not cease to pray for the curse of God upon the head of the villain who wrote it I left Chicago about four weeks ago , and with the full determi nation that come what might I would struggle < against-all temptation to lead an evil life. I have been unfortunate , not criminal. I married young , and to "an Englishman who was no protec tion to a young wife. After my trial in Chicago I was befriended by many , among them Mr. and Mrs. Learned. On leaving I was presented by Mrs. Learned with a purse containing twenty-five dollars. I was furnished with other funds besides. On my way to Omaha I met a man on the train who knew me , and though I feared greatly that I had failed from the very start , I am glad to say that this man , who remained some little time in Omaha , did not be tray me. 1 told liim of my condition , and it was from him I obtained the twenty dollar gold piece in exchange for two ten dolla'r bills , which were in the purse Mrs. Learned gave me. I determined to hold on to this gold piece , depending upon it to rescue me when all other efforts failed. " "How did you get on when you ar rived here ? " asked the rex > rter. "Most encouragingly. I obtained a situation in tlie St Charles hotel , and a few days before the publication jti The Herald I had obtained a . .posipc tion as dining-room girl at the Canbi field house ? I was living under the assumed luuue'of Jennie Warner , and thoughsome few knew my history I was treated on all sides with the greatest consideration and encourage- ment. When , however , that villaingr ous story appeared in Sunday's Herco aid , I was completely prostrated. All my courage , all niy fortitude took flight , and I resolved to make no further - a ther effort to save myself. Mr. and Mrs. Canfield begged of me to let the matter : pass , but I knew I bhould be pointed at by everybody , and to tell the truth , the thing struck me as so fearfully ; heartless I was stunned IHJtn yond recovery by the blow. I saw there was no use of "my trying to bear "I when the very agencies that should "Ibe be first to sustain my effort were the first to strike me down. " cl And here the unfortunate girl ni sobbed and looked the picture of depu spair. Being urged to continue her co narrative , the girl said : ga "I immediately left the Canfield in house and took to drinking as a means aei to drown my misery , but , as usual , more miser } ' came uK ] > n me. I had an some money lett uesides the twenty tit dollar gold piece , and at my room at ku kuw.n the City hotel I was furnished all I w.n wanted to drink , which I paid for as I got it" As stated , the girl was arrested by spite Officer McClure for robbery. It ap to pears she got quite drunk , and wan ho dering int < j the street fell near the th corner of Twelfth and Famham streets. She was taken to Dick CO Wilde's liquor store , where , it being the supposed she was in a fainting fit. res be toratives : were applied. Presently tlu the officer came along , and she was into placed under arrest on the charge of robbing the trunk of Mrs. Wirth , the towo wife of the proprietor of the City wo Hotel , of the sum of § G5. A twenty aei dollar gold piece was found in her possession of the date of 1878 , which touh Mrs. Wirth identified as a portion of uh the money taken from the trunk. [ > This morning the prisoner was ar : vlo raigned before Justice Beneke under the name of Annie Mackay , with the roi alias of Eva Lloyd appended. thiS Col. E. F. Smythe , through the S intervention of some gentlemen who pii knew the poor girl's story , -was ob inc tained to defend the girl. District Attorney Burnham appeared for the its ciry and a long examination was gone pn into. into.Mrs. ap Mrs. Wirth being placed on the of stand , testified that her trunk was opened by means-of a table knife , , which she identified as the one cons' veyed to the prisoner's room at breakpn time. She had experimented k with the knife and found the trunk , could be opened with it do Mr. Burnham , who had poscssion as the S20 gold piece , marked it for rail identification , but the district attorney on A not notice that Col. Smythe was observing just where and how the coin cei marked. The latter quickly sent lis the county treasurer's office for a the similar coin of 1878 , and marking it tlie precisely as did Mr. Bumhaui , lie awaited his turn to cross-examine. Mrs. Wirth positively identified the am shown her by Mr. Buniham as tity one stolen from her. and " 2u > w , " said the prisoner's defend nill , 4lyou arc sure you can safely swear the coin shown with you by Mr. Bum- ? " asc "I can , " said the witness. aer "Well/ ' slid Col. Smythe , adroitly wil substituting" his coin for the one in dot jucstion , "suppose you euiamine it Direful ] jr , and make sure. " The witness took the coin , and again positively swore to it CoL Smythe Toting pulling the original coin from his wcket , said : * . " "Just look at" this one-Mn. Wirth , ng's Mr. say if you can see any difference ? . ' The witness "examined them , "and iride being the same date and similarly thn narked : she was entirely nonplussed. con was indeed amusing to watch the : efforts of the witness to say acqi .vhich was Which. the The coins being returned to CoL the Smythc , it is now in order to ask ivhich : one did he return 'to the court ? upid It was ascertained in the course of pile jxamination thatr two soldiers' , one a rorld lischarged man , had rooms adjacent tilt the prisoner , and that one of th'em by yesterday afternoon's train. age allow The next witness 'Was a maid in the smploy of Mrs. Wirth , a Miss Nod- hap tram , who deposed ? he had taken tray , with the knife produced in upon it , from the room of Miss Hackey in the morning , whereas the obbery was not committed until after It past two , , unswornby Mrs. fVirth. * fron : / - * . , . . ; An adjournment was taken till yes * .vhen the defense say they treet will show the robbery was mqst prpb-s ably committedvby one of the soldiers , and they will show , they say , that the young woman at the time of the rob bery , or immediately before , was pos sessed of over thirty dollars. The story of the girl's past life is lickly told. She left her husband in New York on account of his drinking and abusing her , and coming to Chicago cage hist year she entered upon a fast life. One night in November last she had for her room-mate a woman named Dora Abell. Both were intoxicated at the time , and during the night they had a quarrel , and Miss Abell threw a glass of liquor in her companion's face. The result was a fierce fight be tween the two. Next morning Miss Mackgy awoke to find her antagonist dead , ofie did not know what to "do at first , but she concluded to conceal the deed by hiding the body in a closet ; after which she left the house and drank heavily. She iras arrested for drunkenness , and three days after wards she was charged with the mur der of Dora Abell , whose body had meantime been discovered. She was tried in January and acquitted , as the jury ' believed that she was not really resjxmsible for the deed. The prisoner as she apjnsared to day , is not unprepossessing. She is tall with fair skin , and hazel eyes. Her hair is cut short and she has somewhat the npi > earance of a boy. She was dressed in a black suit , and wore a slight profusion of jewelry. At the Canfield House Miss Mackey was spoken of in high terms. She was given the character of an in dustrious , earnest and well behaved woman. BUN ( OVER AND KILLED. Instantly Fatal Accident at Council Bluffs. An old man named Leary , working in the section track gang , of which Thomas Carey is foreman , on the Union Pacific tracks across the river , was instantly killed yesterday fora- noon. He attempted to get on the tender of a switch engine which was backing toward him , and fell. The tail board of the tender rolled him over and crashed him to doajh. The unfortunate man rolled out from under the tender , only gasping once or twice. He was not cut by the engine wheels. The remains were taken to his home n Council Bluffs , where an inquest will be held to-day. He leaves a fain- fly. SIMILAR INVENTIONS.D Pierce's Air Ship Idea Already Patented Some Interest ing Experiments. Mr. J. H. Pierce , of this city , who has been laboring for some time to perfect an aerial ship idea , born in his brain years ago , applied for a patent or a certain invention connected therewith , whereby he proposed to di0 rect and confine the course of the bal- loon. This was a block attachment to single ; rail , slightly raised from the ground < , along which it was to run , connecting the balloon with ? his block by a rope. Yesterday he received a reply ; from the patent office , enclosing circular < which contained a cut of a similar invention , patented by one McGIashan , of Truckee , California , in 1874. As this idea was as original with Mr. Pierce as with McGIashan , the likeness of the two inventions is truly remarkable. The hitter's inoi ventivc power , however , seemed to have stopped with the terrestrial attachment - tachment and rail , for he has never developed it into what Mr. Pierce claims : is possible. If such an arrangeol ment < can be made , Mr. Pierce intends purchasing McGlashan's patent , and , combining it with his new ideas in re gard to an aerostat , he is confident of making ; a success of the scheme for aerial navigation In conversation on the subject of air ship Mr. Pierce , whose reputaat tioii as a practical aeronaut is well known , stated his belief that there was a height at w Inch the atmosphere did not follow , at any comparativ speed , the surface of the earth , whicli travels at about a thousand miles pe hour. He reasons , upon this belief that ! if an altitude of sufficient heigh could ! be reached a voyage aroum < world , from east to west , wouk a matter of but a few days , am ; tliat vast distances could bo traverse ! a brief period of time. In order accomplish this , he realiz s that i would be necessary to provide tin veronaut with a quality of air similar that he is accustomed to breathe while "here below , " and for that pur- ese he proposes carrying the air vlong , just as a traveler on a solit.-irj rtwd ; would take his provisions. To do he would attach to the balloon aLight e\ Light compartment , filled with com pressed air. From this , as the nsceni increased , and the air surrounding lost density , he would admit the com in pressed atmosphere into the aeronaut's apartment and thus keep up a supply the vital compound. When Mr. Pierce makes the ascension - sion on the 4th of July next , and also probably at the state fair , he intends St test sonic of these matters. To ed so he has taken out another link , it were , or more properly put in miother belt in his balloon , to be used left those occasions , and intends to as cend at least five miles. He supports theories by the fact that on all of < highest peaks on both continents , wind is always blowing westward. on There has always been an inquiry among scientist concerning the quan : of azone in the upper currents , to cx ] > erimeiit on this matter he sis carry prepared sensitive paper him. Aside from die b.dloon ascensions , at any time he coming icrial flights to bemade 03Mr. . Pierce have great scientific interest , and o loubtless conlmand wide attention. t Congratulations.

Streets WashedOut.andBuildings Flooded toy the Storm , Considerable Damage to Cellars of Business Blocks. The storm yesterday was the most severe , as far as the amount of is concerned , which has happened dur ing the same length of time in many years. The water seemed to come down in'solid sheets , and much dam age was caused by it in various parts of the city. The most severe damage was done along the line of the water pipes , both where the ditches were open and where they had but recently been closed up. On several streets leading to Capitol Hill , where the dirt had but recently been filled in , it was washed out near ly or quite to the water pipe. THE POSTOFFICE. In front of the postoflice the water works gang had the ditch excavated and the pipes partially laid. At one point the ditch has crossed the brick- vaulted cesspool connected with the postoffice vaults , and the laborers had carelessly made an opening through the arch before they discovered what it was. The water this morning flooded not only the ditch , but the cess pool , which in turn poured into the cellar of the postoffice building tea a depth of some inches , wetting a few canvas bags of supplies , but doing no serious damage beyond the disgusting odor which for the time filled the building. A gang of workmen were set at work emptying the ditch of its accumulation of water , and in a short time the odorous liquid was out of the cellar. On several other streets where the ditches were open they were filled with'water or washed in. The water poured through the creek on upper Farnham street , near Twenty-first in a perfect flood , filling the Farnham street culvert at that point and damaging the street by the water to an extent of many dollars. The water flooded Murraytown just below , which is principally occupied by colored people , and in many instances the people were barely able to get out before the cottages were flooded. Tlie storm , however , was of short duration and on ita cessation the water left the buildings at once. BUSINESS BLOCKS FLOODED. Cellars on Farnham street were flooded at many points. The most serious damage learned was at Dewey & Stone's , where the cellar was flood ed and the sidewalk undermined and thrown out of shape. Considerable damage was caused. On Dodge street the cellars at Hospe's music store and Willis Yates' grocery were flooded , with more or less serious damage. " Death of Mrs. S. O. Street. C. B. Nonpareil.
