Mrs. Walters was quite seriously Injured
in a runaway Wednesday night. The animal
she was driving i-ollldoil with a hone driven
by Mr. Towlo , and Mrs. Walters was thrown
out upon the pavement with a threat iloal of
force. It was feared for a time that hhe was
fatally hurt , but the fears were proven to bo
happily groundless by her rapid recovery
yesterday. Tnu horao that occasioned the
mischief nnd driven by Mr. Towle was the
animal that ran away ou upper Broadway

A Ijlglit Fingered Crowd.
The professional pickpocket has appointed
himself ns a delegate to the farmers' con
gress. Ho has arrived himself , and has ap
pointed a goodly number of alternates , and
they are also hero. They have not taken
much Intel-cat In the proceedings of the con
gress , but have manifested a deep concern to
ilnd out what the farmers carry in their
pockets. They have satlsllcd thomsclvcj In
at least three Instances that they carry a
pietty good wad around with them that is
worth getting hold of , and It li highly prob
able that there are other gentlemen whoso
poekcts have been Investigated , but who
have successfully kept the Information from
the reporters.
The most of the work that has been re
ported was donu Wednesday night whllo the
congress was gathering for 1 ho evening ses
sion , unit In tlio rotunda when the crowds
going in wtro the largest. None of the vic
tims discovered their losses until they re
turned home and consequently no report was
mndo until yesterday morning. There wcro
a number of the pickpockets , nnd they got in
the rear of the crowd mid began to push and
shove their neighbors. W. C. Dickey , the
real estate man , was forced into such narrow
quarters that ho was compelled to stop and
request the fellow behind him to bo a llttlo
loss aggressive. Hon.V. . H. M. Pusey , who
was near by , was obliged to defend himself
against two fellows who wcro forcing him
along a little too rapidly. Mr. Dickey was
almost lifted oil his feet , nnd when be
reached his seat in the opera house and went
to feel for his pocketbook it was missing , but
ho supposed ho had left it nt home. Later in
the evening ho discovered lila mistake , and
spent a large p.irt of the night endeavoring
to recollect whiit It contained. It was a long
leather book nnd was carried in bis hip
pocket. All the inoiiey ho had on his person
was in another book wnieh Uo carried in the
opposite hip pocket and tbl.s was not found.
The stolen wallet contained a Chicago draft
for $00 , payable to W. C. Dickey , drawu by
Grosser tS : Uodgcrs , bankers , Farraput , la. ,
several notes and n receipt for 4.000 given by
Ofllcer & 1'iisoy for notes deposited in their
Dank by Mr. Dickey. Besides these there
wore some other papers , receipts and notes ,
that Mr. Dickey cannot recall.
Hon. J. B. Smith of Plymouth , Pa. , the
fine elderly trentlcmaii who is the accredited
delegate to the congress from Pennsylvania ,
was relie\ed of his wallet which contained
all the money ho hail brought with him for
traveling expenses , besides some valuable
papers.
Hon.V. . H. M. Pusey was touched for all
the cash ho carried In his purse , which was
filched from his patuloons1 pocket while the
Jam in the rotunda tf as greatest. Thu purse
only contained a few dollars in silver com.
'Yesterday morning a part of Dickoy's wal
let and Smith's pocketbook wcro found in the
west side entry way to Johnson's printing
ofllco under the opera house. Smith's book
contained a draft lor f50 nud a check for 810 ,
which were still in It when found. When
taken from his pocket it had contained $100
in bills and some small change ? . This bud
been taken out and the book with the papers
in it thrown aside. The property was re
turned to its owner after the delegates got
back from Omiihn , last evening.
It is quite evident that thcro were other
victims who did not desire to have their
losses known , yesterday morning two pock
et books were found in nu empty wagon stand
ing directly across the street from the oper.i
house. Ono of them contained the nnme of
Judge CurM > n and tlio other is supposed to bo
tlio rcinninderof Dickey's. '
Yesterday afternoon ono of the three fol
lows who were forcing the crowds In the
entry way was rccogni/cd by some of the
victims.Ho hau returned and was iningllmt
again with the throng ami employing the
satno tactics of the night previous. The
management of the open * , house had spotted
him , but they could not Hud a pollco ofllcer to
put oa his track. Ilo was so evidently a
crook that everybody was watching bim. As
soon as possible Deputy Marshal Fowler was
telephoned to nnd given a description of him.
Ho had left the opera house in thu meantime
and the oftlccr started ont to hunt him up.

Proving Citizenship.
"I'm ' more of nn American citizen now than
lots of fellows , If they had COO naturalization
papers. " It was a Gorman named Webb who
was doing the talking. His mother dlea In
the old country lately , and ho hail been In
formed that hi order to get his part of the es
tate It would bo necessary to send bis natur
alization papers to show that ho was a citizen
of the United States. Ho was Interviewing
Charley Fox , the ilerk of the superior court ,
and had ascertained that It would be very
difficult for him to got the desired proof.
Webb came to this country when ho was hut
sovcntcoa years of ago. Ho uad never taken
out any p ipcrs , but had served three years
in the army , and being so loyal deemed that
ho had a perfect right to vote and otherwise
act as a full Hedged citizen. It was not until
it demmm came for his papers that ho woke
up to the fact that ho bad aono. Coming to
this country wbilo bo was under ago ho is entitled -
titled under the law to take out both his lirst
nud second paiwrs nt the same time. Hut
ho found that ho could not produce
any witnesses to prove that ho was
only seventeen when ho came here. Those
with whom ho fcot acquainted , when ho lived
us n lad in Philadelphia , nro now gone , ho
knows not whore. Ilo has llvod hero for
twenty yean , but none of his many friends
hero eoukl testify as to his being under ago
when ho came to America , ' 'It's mighty
stmngo when 1'vo been allowed to fight for
this country and to wear Uncle Sam's clothes
and vote for presidents and all that , that I
have to wait llvo years more to prove that I
nm u citizen. " Such seems the case , however ,
unless by chance he couaejvacros _ som * one
who knew him M n lad. Ho hopes to get his
portion of tbo citato from the old country by
tiling other papers and affidavits , power of
attorney , etc. , to meet the requirements of
the law over there , but ho Is urcntly per

The Very lloinantie Story of n Llttlo
Chlonso Wall'
A story tinned with romance Is told In
a petition presented to the circuit court
to adopt a child of unknown parents ,
says the Chicago Herald. Tbo peti
tioner is Howard E. Linglon blacksmith ,
at 2.529 Wentworth avenue , who resides
with his wife , Mury A. Linglo , at Ml
Twenty-fifth place. They were married
many years ago , but have never- had
any chllilronof their own , While the
snow was falling fast on the night of
January 15 , 1&81 , an unknown person
deposited a bundle inside the front door
of the Linglo domicile at 130 North
May street. An infant was found the
next morning , with a note stating that
tbo ehild was of American birth and
that her father would never intiko
trouble for possession. Shortly after
came a letter revealing the history of
the unfortunate couple to whom the out
cast was born. The letter was written
by tbo father and told a pathetic tale.
Little Jessie , it said , was born in n barn
October 30 , 18SO. Her mother was the
oldest of a largo family of girls. As
suoh she was inado the family drudge.
Her younger sisters took lifo easy and
did not offer to help her In her house
hold duties. Employed on the farm was
u hired man. Ho took a liking to the
girl and out of sympathy married her.
It was not a love match in the begin
ning , but turned out so In the end. Little -
tlo Jessie was the fruit of this marriage.
Being soon unable to support the little
ono it was decided to leave the babe on
a friendly doorstop. Tins was done. The
parents were satisfied that Jesslo's lines
had fallen in pleasant places , and the
letter closed by saying that no efforts
whatsoever would bo made to reclaim the
child.
This letter was handed to Judge Grin-
nell , nnd ho deemed it a consent of the
parents to allow the Linglos to adopt
the girl. Her name was changed to
Ruth Edna Linglo , and she ia now a
pretty llttlo miss of ton and as happy ns
a bird. Mr. and Mrs. Linglo have con
siderable property , and they promise to
take ns good care of the unknown infant
as if it were their own.

A Navigation Company Formed and
Talkofnnhip Cnnal.
Political tension having ceased here ,
there is much talk of a scheme interest
ing the trade and industry both of Franco
nnd England , says a Paris dispatch.
There has long been an idea of making
Paris a port by u wide canal to the sea ,
ono of those seductive schemes the very
grandeur of which indefinitely postpones
them.
Still , the notion of saving the time and
expense of breaking bulk in receiving
goods from all parts of the world has
continued to engage men's minds. Paris
Is a great producer nnd consumer , ex
porting and importing more than a dozen
great ports put together. It seemed ,
therefore , that * the Seine should bo for
Paris what the Thames is for London.
Moreover , 8100,000,000 have been ox-
nomlcil in deepening the Seine between
Paris and Rouen , , so as to allow vessels
of six or seven hundred tons to reach
Paris. The depth between Havre and
Rouen is eighteen feet , but tbo depth often
ton feet between Rouen and Paris is suf
ficient for the coasting trade. A French
engineer has devised an apparatus , how
ever , enabling 3,000-ton vessels to como
up to Paris with the present depth of
" "
water.
A Paris navigation company has been
formed which Intends to build , chiclly in
England , thirty or forty vessels o ( 1(00 ( ,
700 and 1,000 tons , plying between Bor
deaux and London , Southampton , Liver
pool , Cardiff , Newcastle , Hamburg , St.
Petersburg , Naples , Cadiz , Lisbon , Tunis
and Algeria , West Africa nnd Paris.
Docks and warehouses will bo provided
and all arrangements for rapid unload
ing. This promises a revolution hi the
commercial relations between Purls and
the world , for the vessels will bo in
creased as required. This is the outline
of the bchenie , which will excite interest
in England , for the heavy goods tralllo
between the two capitals will thus become -
como direct , and they will bo brought to
gether on the best of footings , mutual
interest ,

A MUSICAL WONUUK.
A. Pour-Voar-Oltl Girl Who Knocks
Out nil Other ProiliglcH.
This quiet town has been startled by
the development of n baby musician
named LydiuVoloh , a child of only four
years , bays a Milton , Dol. , dispatch to
the Globo-Doinoerat. Her father Is
John B. Welch , the leading druggist of
the town , nnd superintendent of the
Methodist Sunday buhool and leader of
the choir in the same church. Seine
few months ago this child showed a
wonderful talent for singing. People
i paging tho. hauio humming popular airs
were observed by her nnd the next day
the people were ourprlsed to hear their
airs reproduced in .nn infantile A oice.
The child had only.to hear a tuna ever
buforo she could reproduce it without a
single false note. Only n uliort time
ago she had n sovdi'd attacko ( dlpthcrln.
and to the grcnt re"grot of parents nnd
friends aho lost her former inclinations
to sing , but what whs the surprise of
her friends when they discovered that
her vocal po\vers"'had \ suddenly been
directed In nnotliw channel , and from
that time instrumental music began to
interest her in n wonderful degree. The
only musical instrument that Mr.
"Welch had about the house was an
organ , and upon this ono day did the
llttlo one begin piny some tunes she had
heard her father sing.
Soon the people learned of the child's
wonderful i > ewer , nnd every evening n
crowd assembled upon the sidewalk nd-
joinlncr the house to hear her perform.
It was most interesting to watch the
llttlo mlilgot , with her tiny hands upon
the keys and foot scarcely reaching the
pedals , play all the popular airs and re
produce any tune , oven the inostdllllcult ,
after once hearing thorn preformed.
Any music once hummed or whistled in
her presence is reproduced upon the
organ , The whole town is prouu of this
prodigy , and the parents are delighted ,
while at the Htmo time they are BOIIIO-
what startled at the almost buporhumau
talent displayed by this precocious
child , who does not yet know her alpha
bet.

ON PALSK TUSMMONY.
A Dying Man Confesses to Sending
Innocent .Men to 1'rlnou 1'ur Life.
In San Quentln prison serving lifo sen
tences are the Alvlso brothers , Spanish-
Americans , whom the death bed confes
sion of a Mexican recently showed to bo
innocent and sent to prison on perjured
testimony , says a San Francisco dis
patch to the Chicago Tribune. At Sal
inas , Monterey county , in 1870 , a sheep
herder named John Rhuland was missed.
No ono was able to explain his mysteri
ous absence until a month later when a
Mexican boy named Euladio Martinez
startled the community by reporting
that ho had seen Francisco and Jobo
Maria Alviso murder the sheep herder
in his cabin and then set fire to it , cre
mating the body. For a time it looked
as though the Alvis-o brothers would bo
lynched , but the strong feeling against
them abated when they quietly surren
dered them&clves. At their trial they
proved Martinez was a thief and that ho
hated them bitterly because Jose had
whipped him for theft. Still the jury
returned a verdict of murder in the second
end degree , and the judge sentenced
them for lifo. They went to prison In
December , 1879 , nearly eleven years
ago. Martinez teen followed them to
prison for robbery and again for horse
btcaling. Martinez sickened recently ,
and on his deathbed ho confessed to the
chaplain that ho had testified falsely in
the trial of the Alviso brothers and that
they were innocent. Ho had been in
duced to perjure himself by ono Harry
TJiompsqn Esalinns ( now deceased ) and
had received from him for so doing $20
in money , a suit of clothes and a railroad
ticket to San Jose. These facts were
first made public today and an attempt
will bo made to secure a pardon for the
Alvisos.

DEATH A. COMPENSATION.
Rousseau's Payment for Suffering tlio
Ills or This Ufa ,
The more intimately I enter into com
munion \yiili myself the more 1 consult
my own Intelligence the rnoro legibly
do I find written in my soul these words ,
Bo just and thou shalt bo happy , writes
Rousseau in his famous "Confessions. "
But lot us not base our expectations
upon the present state of things. The
wicked prosper and the just remain op
pressed. At this conscience takes um
brage and murmurs against its author :
it murmurs : "Thou hast deceived mo ! "
"Who has proclaimed this to theo ? Is thy
soul annihilated ? Hast thou ceased to
oxlstV O Brtttusl O my soul Soil not
thy noble life by turning thinoown hand
against it. Leave not thy hope nnd thy
glory with thy mortal body on the field
of Phllippil "Why dost thou say virtue
is nothing when thou goest to enjoy the
prlco of thine ? Thou gocst to din , thou
thinkcst ; no , thou goest to live , and it is
then that I shall fulQll all.
Ono would say , from the murmurs of
impatient mortals , that God ought to
requite their virtue in advance. OI lot
us lirst be good and afterward wo shall
bo happy. Let us not exact the prize
before the victory , nor the wages before
the labor. It Is not on the course , says
Plutarch , that the conquerors in our

If the soul Is immaterial it can survive

have no other proof of the immateriality

wicked nnd the oppression of the just in
this world , that spectacle nlono would
prevent my doubting the reality of the

ANOTIIBIl TOLSTOI NOVEfj.
Tlio Uusslnn "Writes Another Hook
Likely to Create u Sensation.
Readers of the famous "Kroutzor So
nata" will bo Interested to hear that the
author , Count Leo F. Tolstoi , says a Now
York dispatch to the Chicago Tribune ,
has another work almost ready for the
press. Like the 'pCroulzor Sonata , " it
deals with moral questions , and is likely
to cause n great sensation. The plot is
simple nnd Is based on facts. A young
girl of a woU-to-dq family is the heroine.
Of an eccentric nature she is gradually
Boizetlby the fever of revolution , which
Impels her to cut l\qr. \ hair Hko a man ,
smoke innumerabloolgarsand otherwise
act in an unwoiniinly manner , In duo
time she falls In love and being dotrayed
is driven from homo by her angry par
ents. Having no money she is obliged
to place her child in u foundling hos
pital and thcro the nurse who has
charge of the llttlo ono and Is alee a
mother herself decides for bomo unex
plained reason to adopt the foundling
and leave her own child In Its place.
Moanwhllo the ecccontrlo heroine mar
ries the father of nor child. When her
father dies she inherits his proportyand
having by this time forsworn her revo
lutionary ideas slio resolvo.i to rcinovo
her little sou from the hospital and pro
vide him with a moroconifortablo home.
AVhon she reaches the hospital , however -
over , nho ( Uncovers that ono of the two
children has jiut died , and that the
nurse refuses to surrender the other.
Finally the case is referred to n. judge ,
nnd his verdict ia In favor of the nurso.
So the story ends , nnd the natural inference -
foronco Is that the ox-rovolutlonlst has
wxst Uor clUlil , tuid is imnUUcd in this
\
way for her umny grlovoua offenses
against society.

JOHN IIUltNM OX TllKSTIUIti : .
The Great hulmr header Sympathizes
With tlio Knights.
The Central railroad strike excites
much interest in London , ns well as
among English capitalists and railroad
inon , and American visitors are consid
ering the prospcet of walking from Now
York to their homes in the west upon
arriving In America , says a London
cable to the ISTBW York Sun. Tlio Eng
lish now pu : > ers , however , present very
meager details of the struggle , so little
indeed that it Is almost impossible to un
derstand here just what the situation is.
John Burns , the great English labor
leader , gave his viuws on the subject.
The phase of the question that seemed
to stride him most forcibly was the re
fusal of the brotherhood o ( locomotive
engineers to como to the assistance of
the knights. "It is , " ho said , "tho old
question of the aristocracy of labor. Tlio
engineers cannot reiuhe that by
falling to succor their brother la
borers they are bringing about
their own destruction. I predict that if
the chief of the brotherhood allows i'ow-
derly to bo overthrown the engineers
will sulTor most , din they not see that
when the capitalists have , with the as
sistance of the brotherhood , destroyed
the knights , the capitalists will next
turn upon tlio engineers , and that they ,
without the assistance that that body
might otherwise 1mvo been able to give
them , will bo forced to succumb. One of
the principal reasons that led mo to devote -
vote myself to the labor cau.-io in Eng
land was this same want of sympathy
among worlcingmcn with each other.
Ton years ago there was hero as much
difference in caste between a carpenter
or an engineer and an unskilled laborer
as exists between a member of the house
of lords and a member of a vestry , and
the principal reason that the recent
strikes hero have been so successful is that
all branches of skilled and unskilled
labor have como to recognixe each other
as brothers. I have helped to bring
about these conditions by agitating for
sufficient pay for the unskilled laborer ,
so that ho could hold up his head among
his fellow workers , and that the skilled
laborer might be forced to recognize the
Influence and importance of the other in
the struggle , that concernsono as deeply
as the other. I should like nothing bet
tor than to stand shoulder to shoulder
with Powderly in America if I could do
any good there and light the battle to
the finish. The knights have our sym
pathy , but sympathy is only the mustard
lor the meat , and I should prefer to give
the beef if it comes to the point of ren
dering assistance. However , I believe
that the American workingmcn will not
find their English brethren behindhand
in expressing themselves In a practical
way. "

WUIIING A FAMOUS POEM.
How "Cm-few Must Not IlingTonlglit"
Was Suggested to the Author.
The poem of "Curfew Must Not Ring
Tonight" was suggested to mo by the
reading of a atorv called "Love and Loy
alty , " in April , 18(17. ( I was then a plain
country school girl , not yet seventeen ,
residing with ray parents at Lithchficld ,
Mich. , and under the pretext of working-
out mathematical problems , with niy
arithmetic before mo , I wrote the poem
roughly on my sluto , writes Uoso Ilnrt-
wick Thorpe in the Ladles' Homo
Journal. I was forced to carry
on my literary work under these
ditllculties because of the opinion of my
parents that rny time could bo bettor
employed than in "idle dreams and use
less rhymes. " 1 wrote the first copy on
my slate , between four and six o'clock in
the afternoon ; but much tiuio has since
been spent in correcting and revising it.
I nad no thought that I would over bo
able to write anything worthy of public
notice , The poem was llrst published in
the Detroit Commercial A&ccrtiser in the
fall of 1870. The editor upon rtcipt of my
manuscript , at once wrote mo a lengthy
letter of congratulation and praise , in
which ho predicted the popularity for
ho versos which they sinca enjoyed. I
had no literay friends , not oven a liuor-
ury acquaintance at that time , and did
not know the simplest requirements of
preparing my manuscript for publica
tion. The poem scorned at once to at
tract public attention. I raised mo from
a shy , obscure country girl into public
notice , and brings to my side yearly
hosts of now and delightful friends.
Wheroyer I go my friends are there be
fore mo , and. the poem which I gave to
the public with no "rights reserved"
while it has made a fortune lor others ami
dropped golden coins in other pockets ,
has reserved for its author a wide circle
of admiring friends. The first and only
remuneration I over received for the
poem was three years ago when the
editor of The Brooklyn Magazine repro
duced the poem in a fnc-similo autograph
form , which I had given him. With a
delicate sense of justice no sent mo a
most complimentary chock for thosimple
privilege of reproduction. It was quite
a surprise to mo , but none the less pleas
ing. That editor is now the present
editor of The Ladies' Homo Journal.

writes M. K. G. in London Queen. Wo ,
who live in a country of justice and free

occasionally narrow up our feelings by
rending one of Stopniak'fl books , or an

so ho trios to undermine them with dy

are all followers of Tolstoi's doctrine
that every man should earn his bread
by the labor of his hands and the hours
they do not spend in the lecture rooms
or hospitals are employed in following
the trades of tailor , shoemaker , tumor ,
bookbinder , etc. , which they have in
most cases learnt In Paris after having
lied there from their ntitlvo country.
Those that have no handi

not cam on an average inoro than -10

imagined that with such a sum they can
hardly keep body and soul together , and
of furniture there is no question. The
