LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1881. Hancastet intelligencer. WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 1881. Thtegs t be TM. It would be interesting te Lear some thing just new from the friends of Ma hone.. The Philadelphia Press, as his most conspicuous champion in this quarter, could entertain its readers very nicely with a few remarks en the sub ject, and we are rather surprised that a journal se energetic in the pursuit of news, and se devoted te interviewing anybody that is supposed te knew any thing or think anything about anything or anybody, does net print the thoughts of its editor upon the present condition of that Virginia child of premise. There are several matters, indeed, about which the editor of the Press could talk with knowledge and feeling, but which his modesty seems te keep him from open ing his lips about. That dinner te Dor Der sey at New Yerk which he attended, for instance. It seems odd perchance some what contrary te the laws of hospitality that a guest who has dined with another te de him honor should be found de nouncing him within a' few months as no better than 4k pickpocket. The Press has been very free and just in its condemnation of Dersey in his postal ir regularities ; but well informed people knew long age that he was net a saint, and that he enriched himself off the government ; and that dinner was given te him because of the peculiar abil ity he had manifested in raising and ap plying money te carry the Indiana state election for the Republican party. A man does net become wicked in a night. And that one, who was se lately highly honored and applaud ed by distinguished Republicans, should new be denounced by them as a shameless iieculater from the gov ernment, in which he was a senator, is sufficiently remarkable certainly te ex cite the attention of a first-class news paicr and te summon its conductor te tell all he knows about it. There were a great many people of high note at that dinner who might consider the propriety of imburtheniiig their minds and con sciences about their participation in it; but the editor of the Press is the hand iest one te call uien te start the little game of explanation and really ewes it as a duty te iiis readers te tell them all he knows about this ; and about every thing else, in fact. Such as the reason why lie, 'who was se lately the warm partisan of Senater Conkling, even being led by him te de neunce untruly his neighbor,SenaterIfciy- aid. has new turned against him. Times change and men change with them, Jio Jie Jio teriously ; but really the Press has been jumping about se actively lately in these Dersey, Mahone, Conkling and various ether matters, that its readers must cer tainly be at a less hew te knew whether they stand en their heads or their heels, or what they believe or who they swear by. If they did net learn te make their obeisance te Conkling as the greatest pe litical light of the world, and te Mahone as the foremost regenerator " read- justcr "of the day, then it was only be cause they were tee stupid te profit by their teaching. Truly we would like te hear about Mahone. He seems te lie a monkey with his tail cut off behind the ears tee. Perhaps there is life still left in him ; but it would be gratifying te see it exhibited, in just one kick, anyway. His original patron has gene, in 'Senater Conkling. His bottle-holder, who is Cameren, is thoroughly demoralized. His trainer, Gerhain, is away far off out in the cold. The summer is ever and the harvest is net gathered. Mahone, as the deciding unit in the Senate, has dis appeared . The frown of presidential favor rests upon his friends, and all his activity in dodging votes serves him net The sun does net shine, and without it his hay will net be made, but moulds upon the Held and loses all its succulence, and when it is garnered even his starved Virginia cattle will find no sustenance in it. These affecting and tragical occurrences ought net te be occurring without inviting the mourning .friends te lift up their voices in wailing and lamentation, and we invite the Press, which is chief of .the mutes te give utterance te its pent-up feelings. Seme newspaer correspondent says that Speaker Randall remarked that it would be a geed joke if the Independ ents and Democrats in the New Yerk Legislature would elect Robertsen and some ether man like him te the Senate instead of Conkling and Piatt. It is net likely that Speaker Randall said any thing of the.kiud, for it would net be a geed joke at all, at least from a Democratic standpoint, if any such thing should happen. The Xew Yerk Democratic legislators are net likely te be silly enough te want te exchange Conk ling and Piatt for any two ether Repub licans, or te interfere in any way with what is peculiarly a Republican funeral. It is safe te say that no Republican and Democratic alliance will take place in the New Yerk Legislature which will result in the election of two Re publicans te the United States Senate ; one must be a Democrat in any such combination. There is no likelihood, however, that anyone will be sent from Xew Yerk te the Senate wlie is net se lected by Conkling. It is probable that he himself will net go back. We doubt much whether he desires te de se. He is disgusted very much with politics and sees no comfort in the situa tion. He would be wise te retire for a time and leave Garfield and Blaine steer the ship of which they have the helm. He cannot serve among the crew with such commanders and he dare net be a mutineer. He needs te take a furlough. m 1b Need er a Metes. We hope that our Republican friends in the county find enjoyment in the col umns of their political organs. They are instructive and therefore should be en tertaining. It is somewhat dreary no doubt te hear from each hew evil the ether is and te knew hew very vile their leaders all.must be if all that is said is truthfully told. Still it is better te knew these tilings than that they should exist unknown. If there is any virtue among the Republican rank and. file, they will be incited te give political burial te all tbesa unworthy men, and te search for decent leaders. Probably they can find them if they leek long enough. We knew a great many respectable Republi cans. We cannot disguise the fact, however, that there are few honest ones who are net tee stupid or tee lazy te act as shepherds of the fleck. Stupid ity, especially, is a notable char acteristic of the Republican rank and file in Lancaster county, and this fact explains why it is that such a let of ragamuffins have get into the lead of the party. It certainly cannot be pleasant te the intelligent Republican voter te knew the character of the men who control his party, as they are truly depicted from the opposing sides in the family quarrel that is new being bitterly waged. His impulse must be te put them all down and te set his feet upon their necks. The decent element in the Re publican party has the power te control it by its numbers. Is there net some one te be found who will lead them out of the desert ? They would de well net te nominate for office a single man of these named, but, rejecting them all as unfit, confer the places upon mere mod est men who have net sought them. MINOB TOPICS.

Utah is just new the chosen field for considerable Christian missionary work. There are forty-four Presbyterian mis sionaries in the territory, maintained at an annual cost of $36,000 ; the Cengrcga- tieualists arc spending $30,000 in new school houses and churches, the Metho dists have twenty, missionaries en the ground, ana etuer denominations are rep resented.

They will be called up for action by the Senate te-day. Tue Baltimore San has entered upon the forty-fifth year of its existence, and signalizes the epoch by printing in yester day's issue a historical sketch of its birth and growth from small beginnings te the important position it new holds among the leading newspapers of the country.

Cei.. Fred. A. Conkling, brother of the New Yerk senator and possessing his close coufidence. though his determined political fee, thinks the senator will be disappointed at Albany. , A careful can vass of the Assembly convinces him that the anti-Grant Republicans will refuse te go into caucus and will combine against the caucus nominee, the result being the election of au Independent Republican and a Democrat. The colonel says his brother's retirement from the senatorial office will net take him out of politics, but will make him a strong candidate for president in 1884. Cel. Fred, hopes te sec his brother defeated, because it is time the Republican party was dissolved. Leng possession of the spoils has made it rotten. People should remember that this weather is dangerous te health. The change from the heat of a few days age te the chill of the present is tee sharp for most constitutions unless well protected. Older persons can take care of themselves, but who shall take care of the children ? It is plain te be seen from the way many of them, arc dressed that no one is taking proper care of them at this particular juncture, for they are clad in the same thin clothing of the late heated spell. They are net se susceptible te the cool weather as elder parsons, and de net complain of the change, which is one rea son why they are net given thicker cloth ing. . But the fact that they de net com plain is no reason te suppose that their systems de net suffer. The complaint may come after awhile, when the seeds of dis ease sewn in their systems begin te ger minate. Seme attention te the children new may save them much sickness and avoid the necessity of longdectors' bills. PERSONAL. Mrs. William A.

An Albany special te the New Yerk Express says it is believed by some state senators that the statutes de net give the Legislature power te fill expirations or vacancies for the offices except en the "second Tuesday after the meeting and organization of the Legislature." The statute certainly reads this way, and it is interpreted te mean that the successors of the two senators cannot be appointed till the 10th day of January, 1882. The opinion is growing that the Senate will refuse te go into an election of United States senators, and will leave the choice te the next Legislature. Seme of the sen ators say they think the question as te whether the resigning senators should be returned and their conduct approved is one that the people should have the op portunity te pass upon. The administration members of the Leg islature arc a unit in their determination te vote for no man who is net known te be in cordial sympathy vith the adminis adminis tien and they will,iinder no circumstances, vote for any man who has antage nized General Garfield, or has avowed his purpose te de se. The Republican general committee has chosen Hen. Andrew S. Draper as presi dent. Bcsolutiens endorsing the action of Messrs. Conkling and Platt were unan imously adopted, and copies ordered te be sent te President Garfield. It is reported that Assemblymen Congden, Shelden and Fenner have come out against Conkling. The Buffalo Cemmerial Advertiser of te- eay states upon authority that Heu. Richard Crowley will net under any cir cumstances be a candidate for United States senator, and thinks that under the circumstances both Messrs. Conkling and Platt should be unanimously re-elected by the Republicans of the New Yerk Legislature. SUICIDE Or A SCHOOL OIRL. SnoetlBS Herself Beeaats Her Father Sus pected Her of gteallBS Meaey. Effle Persen, a school girl, fourteen years of age, shot herself in the breast at eight o'clock yesterday morning, at her residence Ne. 173 Tenth avenue, New Yerk, and died almost immediately. Her excuse for committing se terrible a crime .is that she believed her father suspected her of theft and she determined te rid him of her presence. Erne was a tenderheart ed little creature and devotedly attached te her parents and two ether sisters that comprise the family. She wa always very sensitive. Her father, Aaren D, Persen, is a book-keeper in a piano factory in West Twenty-first street. Last Friday as he was leaving the house te go te his place of business, he remarked that $50 had been taken from his trousers pocket some time during the night. There was mnch sur prise among the listeners, for the apart ments occupied by the Persen family were en the third fleer of .the building aud dis connected from the' ether tenants in the house by spacious hallways, se that no one could have effected au entrance through the night without breaking in the doers leading te Mr. Persen's room. A search was instituted through the differ ent rooms, but no trace of the money could be found. Yesterday morning Mr. Per Per eon announced that $70 had disappeared in a similar manner. He left for business without waiting for his breakfast, an nouncing in anger that some one in his own family had taken the money and that llt he would net return until it was Droit te light. Mrs. Persen, net knowing what else te de, wrote a note te Captain McElwaine asking that a detective be sent te the house., The note was given te Katie, her eldest daughter. It was then eight o'clock in the meruing and Katie had net been gene ever five minutes before a pistol shot was heard issuing from the kitchen. Mrs. Persen was in the parlor at the time and ran quickly in te learn the cause of the shot. When she reached there she be held her daughter Erne lying prostrate en the fleer and bleed trickling from a bullet wound in her breast. At her side lay a revolver belonging te her father, with one of the bar rels discharged. The mother uttered a piercing shriek and fell beside her daugh ter's form, while she clutched her wildly and called her name in heartrending ac cents. The young girl's pale face turned te her mother for a moment and she opened her lips as if te speak. The glassy stare in her eyes bctekeucd her near, ap proach te death. The mother lifted the child's form in her arms and endeavored te step the flew of bleed in her breast, while she asked her, in pitying tones, " Why did you de this, Eflie :" The child closed her eyes and murmur-, cd faintly. " Because father suspected us of taking money." She said no mere, her head fell back en her mother's knee and in another moment the little sufferer was dead. A physician was summoned, but his services were useless and word was at once sent te the coroner's office. Mr. Persen was found at work at his office desk aud brought back te his home by the report of the tragedy. Te a re porter, who called at neon, he said calmly that the sheeting was certainly an accident, the girl having found the pistol in a bureau drawer. The police continue the investi gation, in which the lest money has as sumed a very prominent part. They con sider it passing strange that Mr. Persen should have suffered such losses without informing the police. Mrs. Persen's pur pose in sending the note was evidently te avoid attracting suspicion in leaving the house and te give no one else a chance te leave it. It is considered probable that Effie, knowing that the police had been sent for and fearing that they were te ar rest her, took the fatal step. FUN IN TUB HOUSE. Landis tiets His Itlll Through, Representative Landis, of this county, succeeded in having his bill passed finally by the Heuse at Harrisbnrg yesterday, after a lengthy speech by its author in its favor. It is te prevent bribery and fraud at nominating elections, nominating conventions and at elections of delegates te nominating conventions in the several counties of this commonwealth. Here is the Patriefs report of the Greatest Effert of our Maner statesman : Landis " It makes the freeman's ballet tell a lie, and turns the ballet box into a lie factory." Applause. "Oh, Penn sylvania!" Great applause. "I de hope" wild applause. " His hands besmeared with bleed." Applause. " Hener the blue waters of Lake Erie te the singing eddies of the Schuylkill." Applause. This was Landis' speech en his bill te prevent frauds in primary elec tions. When the little Lancaster statesman had shouted out his last glowing sentence aud sat down there was a perfect storm of ap ap plause and "braves." Mr. Furth then asked the speaker whether his remarks did net apply entirely te the "Heg" and "Bull "rings in Lancaster county? Mr. Landis said they did net. Mr. Furth then thanked him ler exposing the frauds by which the Republican party managed te carry the state, and Landis said he hoped this would net be made a party matter. Mr. Kncass then arose amid thunders of applause and iu some humorous remarks flattered Mr. Landis highly and advocated the bill, hoping the Lancaster county rings would be crushed out, and hoped politics in that county would seen reach the pure standard of these in Philadelphia. The Heuse seemed te be in an uproariously jocular mood aud applauded Mr. Kncass' every word se that very little that he said cenld .be heard. In the midst of the speech Mr. Souder raised a wild shout of laughter by gravely carrying the speaker a glass of water. The Heuse then geed humerediy passed the bill I HALF A MILLION IN SMOKE Yesterday's Disastrous Fire in Nashville. The fire which broke out in Nashville yesterday was the most disastrous in that place for many years. Beginning at ten o'clock in the oil and paint establishment of Warren Brethers, corner of College and Church streets, it spread rapidly north, east and west until thirty-four buildings were consumed. The new marble front Neel block, en Church street, of eight three-story buildings, including the beautiful new office of the Wes tern Union telegraph company with all its valuable equipments, is in ruins.' The fire in this direction west swept across an alley, destroying two old buildings, occupied as restaurant and club room, and with great difficulty the Maxwell house and the intervening block was saved. On the opposite side of the same street the wholesale liquor houses of Ryan & Ryan, and Pierce, Hepkins & Lawrence, adjoining the American office, were destroyed, together with the smaller intervening buildings. The reef and corn ice of the American building were partially burned, but the main damage te the build- ing aud its contents was from water en the machinery, paper and newspaper files. Sweeping cast along Church street the fire destroyed Deckel's wholesale liquor house and the warehouse of Chery, O'Cen nor & Ce., and several smaller buildings. Moving north along College street tfee fur niture houses of Philip Snyder and Atwell & Snccd and a mattress and china store, the adjoining buildings en the west side of College street, occupied as a storage room by Weekly & Farren, and several smaller buildings, were destroyed. The estimated less is near half a million of dol lars. The insurance does net exceed $200, 000. I A DISCARDED LOVER'S KAGE. Firing Three Shots Through a Ceiltafe Inte the Beem at the Object of HU ASWctteas. Themoleen Cailteau, a young French man, who claims te be an educated elec trician, was before Justice Morgan at the Jeffersen Market police court, New Yerk, te answer a charge of felonious assault. Miss Blanche Siegrist, a young and pre possessing woman, accused him with hav ing fired three shots at her en Sunday night with intent te take her life at her mother's house, Ne. 22 Charl ton street. Mrs. Marietta Siegrist, the mother, under the stage name of Marie Zanfretta, some years age was a per former en the tight rope and her husband was noted as a pantemimist. Mrs. Sie grcist is reported te be quite well off. She lives in geed style in Charlton street in a house which she owns, and Cailteau has bearded there for three months past. Te Miss Blanche he paid marked attentions, which the young woman says were net agrceable te her. Beth she and her mother frequently told him they must cease, but he paid no need te these warnings and continued his attentions until they became persecutions. On Sunday evening Mrs. Siegrist called him into the parlor, and in the presence of her daughter, told him he could no longer remain in the house. He was greatly enraged at this, and drew a large revolver from his pocket. Miss Siegrist screamed and rushed out of the parlor, taking refuge While pistol through in her own there she shots. The the ceiling room heard bullets of the fabeve. three passed parlor aud the fleer of the room above, but without doing any further dam age. iMrs. Siegrist said that when her daughter fled from the room the young man exclaimed : "Ah, that is it. Since you will net give your daughter te me no one else shall have her," and then he de liberately fired the three shots through the ceiling of the room into the room above, in which the footsteps of her daugh ter could be distinctly heard. Alter tiring the shots he threw the pistol down and ran ent of the house, but was subsequent ly arrested by Patrolman Meran, of the 8th precinct. When arraigned in court the accused listened with great interest te the state ments of Mrs. Siegrist and her daughter, which were interpreted te him by the chief clerk. When asked what he had te say he declined te make any statement at present, as he desired first te consult with counsel. He was committed te prison for trial iu default of $3,000 bail. In his cell Cailteau said te a reporter that he had been in New Yerk for live years. He fell in love with Miss Blanche and was led te believe that his love was reciprocated, as his Fiually te be coming attentions were well received, they became engaged', and were married sometime during the autumn. He was -very happy iu his anticipations of the future until he found that Miss Blanche was receiving the visits of another man. She became cold and distant toward him, and he was finally discarded. This treat ment enraged him, and when Mrs, Siegrist told him he must seek lodgings elsewhere he was mad with rage and despair. Aban doning all hope he determined te kill him self. The weapon was rusted, and the spring se stiff that in pulling the trigger he was compelled te use se much force that the weapon was diverted from its aim and the bullet entered the ceiling. Thrice he essayed te sheet himself, but with the same result, and then, disgusted with the weapon that had se disappointed him, he threw it away and fled from the house. Canlteau denied in the most positive terms that he intended te sheet Miss Siegrist, or that he meant her any harm. The pris oner is a man of geed education and is evidently of respectable connections. UATTLE evek a grave. Preventing the Erection of a Tombstone Over Uls Sister's Grave. A terrilic light between two men is re petted te have occurred en a burial let in Charles Evans cemetery, Reading, Monday afternoon. The dispute was ever the right of one party placing flowers and erecting a tombstone' en the grave of the ether's de ceased sister. Blews were struck, bleed is said te have flowed freely, and one of the men is said te have been badly pummclcd. Subsequently oue of the parties came te Reading and had an advertisement insert ed in the Eagle te the effect that " he no tifies all persons net te trespass en the. let purchased by him in Charles Evans cem etery ; also strictly prohibiting the erec tion of a tombstone en the grave of his deceased sister unless ordered by himself The advertisement was signed Jehn W. Chasen. The strange wording of the "Netice," led many persons te inquire into its mean ing. A press representative called upon Mr. Chasen, 427 Seuth Ninth street, Monday evening, te get further particulars. He is a bread-shouldered, muscular-looking young Englishman, aud appears as if he could hit sledge-hammer blows. He said te the reporter : "This is a purely pergenal affair between myself and a certain man in this city (mentioning the son of a business man of Reading). We ' had it out ' at the ceme tery this afternoon, aud if you go out there perhaps yen can find his body lying around there somewhere." "Was there really bleed-shed : ' asked the reporter. " Well, I den't-kiuw about that, but I knew that I hit him bard, as I always de when my English bleed is up. He also knocked out one of my teeth sec," and Mr. Chasen exposed the cut lip where the teeth was. "This man that I was telling you about was married, but is divorced. The same was the case with my sister. She and this man went together, and some thought they were man aud wife. She died last Christinas, aged 21 years, and I had her body buried in let Ne. 71, section B., in the cemetery. The let is mine by. purchase and my father and mother are also buried there. We were unfortunate in losing our parents' money, and they have no tombstones ever their graves. I didn't think it was right that a gravestone should be purchased and put up by that fellow. He had already planted seme flowers en her grave, and when I came te the cemetery yesterday afternoon I pulled these out. He aud an old man brought te the ground a tombstone already cut with the name and age of my sister te put en her grave. I told him I wouldn't let him, and he said that he would anyhow, when we came te blows. I don't knew hew badly he is hurt. I then canto te the city and had the notice put in the paper. He won't dare te put up the tombstone en the strength of that. He has all my sister's furniture, as it is ; and once before he wanted te have her body disinterred and buried iu Auleubach's cemetery, but I wouldn't let him. The let is mine, she is my sistcr,aud I consider that I have the best right there. I'm net afraid that he'll attempt anything mere." MINUS 910.000. The Orphans' Court Cats Down Counsel Fee. a Large Themas E. Cahill. who died in Phlfculnl. phia, in August, 1878, left a will by which, after certain private legacies were ordered te be paid the rest of his estate was left te a number of trustees, headed by the Rr. Rev. Bishop Weed, for the purpose of erecting atd endowing a Catholic high school, leaving it te the discretion of the trustees, if they discovered that the fund coming into their bands was net sufficient te carry out the project, te apply the in come of what principal they had te the support et tue peer in the diocese. -When the account of the executers, James F. Weed, James E. Mulhelland, Walter F. Atlee, M. D., and James J. Gil lin, came te review before the orphans' court, it appeared that their counsel, Jehn I. Rogers, esq., put in a claim for services of $15,000. This claim was resist ed by Mr. Gillin and one or two.ether ex ex ecueors. It was shown te the satisfaction of the court that this estate was a singular ly clear and uncomplicated one, and the au diting jndge.speaking with reference te the claim, said that the sum of $5,000 would be a generous compensation, and allowed a counsel fee accordingly in. that amount. Mr. Cahill gave, by his will, $30,000 each te two sisters, $3,000 each te each of the children of one of them, $1,000 each te thirteen public charities, provided annu ities for his wife, brother and stepmother te an aggregate of $5,000, and then left the balance of the estate in trust for his high school purposes.

In the dusk of Meuday eveniug the crew of the Undine barge, rowing slowly up the Schuylkill river, at Philadelphia, heard a splash behind them when hearing Girard avenue bridge at its western end. Resting en their ears they looked around and, by the excited. motions of persons en the bank, became aware that some one was in the water. In a few moments a head-arose te the surface ami it needed bnt a glance te show that it was a girl and that kcr'hair had fallen loose aud was floating about her. With quick strokes they reached the spot and one or two of the young men leaped overboard and held her up until they reached the shore. Commissioner of City Property Dixcy, who happened te be driving in the park at the time, with seme assistance carried the girl, who was then insensible, te the guard house en the hill at Sedgelcy. A physi cian was sent for, who prescribed stimu lants and when the girl revived went away. She was allowed te remain in the guard house all night, without any coin forts. In the opinion of the physicians at the Qcrmnn hospital, where she was ie moved yesterday morning, this exposure may prolong her illness. Her wet cloth ing was partially removed and replaced by articles borrowed from a woman living iu the neighborhood, but they say at the hos pital that she had wet clothing en when they received her. She was in high fever last night and Dr. Raab said that .she will have te remain two or three weeks before she will be well. There is a dislocation of the left shoulder and possibly a rib frac iure, although Dr. Raab cannot tell yet. The poitien of her body en which she fell is also bruised and much discolored. When the girl recovered consciousness in the guard house she said her n;.me was Emina Newman and gave the address of her mother at 1118 Jeffersen street. As she lay en the cot in the ward she ap peared a very unusual sort of patient She is a girl of mere than ordinary attrac tions for her walk in life, and has all the evidences of gentle bleed. Her hands and feet arc small, and she is delicately shaped. Her complexion is clear aud her features geed, particularly her eyes, which are a deep blue and very express ive. Her hair is luxuriant aud in color a deep Titian red. The chief points of at traction, however, are the extreme sensi bility of her features, a sensitive mouth and a very sweet voice. Her story was drawn from licr by care ful questioning. " My meJLher is peer," she said, " and I wanted te help her, but could net de it. I went te work for German tailor and sewed in an attic, but I grew sick and was weak, and with help ing mother at home could net work any mere. I only get two dollars a week. Mether has lest her strength. Mether sent me te the store en Monday te get some bread. We owed two dollars, and some cents and could net pay it and the storekeeper said he would like te have what was owing him boferc he gave any thing else. I came home and cried awhile. aud, as I thought of the state mother was in and of hew I had te work, were, work, aud vet could net heln her. and as I thought of hew badly I felt and Lew there was no bread or butter ler mn or in a, I thought I had better die." She then explained hew she had read in one of the "flash" New Yerk weekly papers, which she named and which she said was leaned te her by a girl up stairs in the same house in which her mother oc cupied a room, of "Vieve VanBuren and her leap from the East River bridge," and she had also seen the picture en the streets. This suggested te her the idea of committing suicide in the park. She went en the lower walk of the' bridge and looked down at the water, and several times thought she would jump, but she could net get ever the rails very well, and once when she started te climb ever them a man iu the dis tance waved his arms and scared her. Then she walked down te the tow path and without stepping an instant plunged in. Although she was net aware of the fa.'t, the place where thc went down is deeper than any ether part, being tire channel used by the canal beats. The es cape of the girl under the circumstances was very narrow, for had the beat crew been any greater distance off she would almost certainly have been lest. Tiic girl's appearance, her manners, her conversation and the statements of her mother, as well as the results of diligent inquiry nn ether quarteis, indicate that she is au artless, high strung girl of gentle birth aud that she was driven te her des perate act by deplorable surroundings and the influence upon her imagination of a romance which fell into her hand:; by ac cident.
