- HOUNDED DOWN.
in Unfortunate Girl Attacked by
a newspaper "Returns"
to Jail ,
TKe Heroine of a Famous Chicago
cage Sensation , Picked up
in the Streets of Omaha.
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

"I can , " said the witness. aer
"Well/ ' slid Col. Smythe , adroitly wil

The witness took the coin , and again
positively swore to it CoL Smythe Toting
pulling the original coin from his
wcket , said : * . "

Mr.
say if you can see any difference ? . '
The witness "examined them , "and iride

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

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

AN IMPROMPTU FLOOD.
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. "
