Xt'te Central Board of Education mot in sLvi'al session last night and in very short border sustained tho faculty of the High School by accepting tho report- of the com mittee appointed to invcstlfrate tho Miss Jsellle Xi 1)U case. An amendment to tho report" ce nsuring the faculty ,-ind putting ft directly, opposite complexion on tho rc--port was offered by Mr. Piiclps, and defeated fcj ' 2i votes to 10. A s ubcquent motion by J- McCandless, to c, lablo the action of thtf loard in advertising for appli cations for tho positions in the Hit ;h School to bo reconsido red, was lost by tin narrow majority of one vote. Tho attendi ncc was very large, evincing tho great interest taken in the case. There were only two ab sentees out of a rossiblo 3& being IL P. OlE.'iauser, of the Birmingham sub-district, and M. 1$. Folev, or the Duquesvno,6ub-district. There aic SZeeats on tho boatd, but the Minei-svillo district" has no representation, oVinjlto tho election being void.

The Sccietary then read a stenoernphic report of the proceed ing at the nigh School on Tridav. an ac count of Mhiclf appeared in Tuk Dispatch or the next day. , The moment the Secretary had ceased sr-eulcimt lr. Koanis Jumped to his feet with a motion that the report Ie a doped, but as the repoi t should lir-t be i eccived before ac tion could be taken, Mr. Jvellar Interposed with a motion to receive and file it, -hich was adopted. t-h- Tr. Kcanis then moved, and Mr. IveUax seconded the adoption of tho report, -nhlch wa earned. When Mr. Phelps roe to his feet interest in tho proceedings becamo more lively. This member had been prominent all through the investigation as a stanch ndherent of Miss Xoubs' view of the matter, bo that when he aroc -with an amendment to the report there was a general air or preparation amonc those present, as it for a, tussle on some point. How Mr, Phelps "Would Have Ilad It. Mr. Phelps, without any peroration, at ' oii" moved that the report be amended by striking out tho recommendations by insert ins, after tho word "Besolved:" "After hear ing the testimony in this ca-o we are of the opinion that the treatment of Miss Xobbs by P'-of. fcleeth was umvorthv a member of the laculty of the Pittsburg High School, and de ser os our severe condemnation. o s-l-o believe that had the prin cipal exercised tho proper discre tion and Judirmcnt and used tho power vested in him by Section 3, under head ol 'Powers and Duties of the Principal' for the government of the Pittsburg High frchool at tho time Mis ohb and her lather called on hiin and explained her nb tence, that the case could and should have won settled then andtheie.and with justice mid oquitv to all concerned, by permitting Mi- Koblis to resume her studies. While Mihsequent e ents render" d the suspension ot Mis Nobbs unavoidable we believe that those events -ncro provoked by the im proper conduct of the Professor of Elocu tnn and lack of judgment on the part of tho principal. Considering all phases of tho ise, we are of tho opinion that MissXobbs has already suffered moie punishment than she desen ed, and, thcrefoie, offer the fol low ing resolution: "I!t solved. That Miss Nobbs be and is hercbv reinstated as a pupil of tho Pitts burs High School.' " Mi. Kellar promptly rose to a point of order. He urged that the amendment was oppoed to tho senso and meaning of the lindimr of the committee, and entirely de stroved the original resolution. Tlfc Chairman held the point not well taken and decided that tho amendment was cor-r-octlv before the meeting. Mr." McKain declared that tho amendment was not the finding of the committee and that while itmightboinorderitcouldnotbo accepted as its report. Sentiment Tliat Was Heartily Approved! , Tho Chairman maintained bis riding, and Mr. ICellar called for the yeas and nays, ex claiming: "Well, it doesn'tmatter; let it go;lt willbevoteddownanyway,"ascntimentthat met w ith much appro al, as the result shows, the amendment being lost by 24 votes against to 10 in favor of it. Tho following lotod against the amendment: Messrs. Adams, Barlow, Berger, Blaze, Brown, Gray, Henderson, Holmes, Hor-ran, Jones, Kcanis, Kellar, LittelL Laushrnn, McCand-le-s, McKain, McMurray. Kogers, Sheehan, Spinnow eber, Torrcnce, Trosh, "H eriuer and the Chairman. Those who favored it were: Mes-rs. Benz, Boos, Bradley. Fichtcll, Fox, Mcllroy, I'helps, Swentzcl, Wainwright and Znsle. The vote on the original report was pre sented by tho High School Committee, which sustains the faculty, was then put and adopted by 20 votes for to 8 against. Tho members voted as before excepting that Messrs Fichtcll and Zagle voted this time witn tno majority. This concluded the business for which the meeting had been called, but Dr. McCandless thought it a good opportunity to settle tho High school affair out of hand. He moved to suspend the rules for tho consideration of other business, but he was received with cries of "adjourn," and a member declared th.it a motion to adjourn superseded other business, a point in which the Chair coin cided, and the motion to adjourn was put, but it was voted down and Dr. McCandless moved to suspend tho rules. He did so to have tho action of the board in advertising for applications for all the positions in tho High school faculty reconsidered. Dr. Sw eutzcll You can't do that without a two-thirds vote. The Chairman Wc don't propose to take such action without a two-thirds vote. Mr. Kellar Well, call for tho yeas and navs. Mr. Benz This meeting was called for a special object and the business of the meet ing has been concluded. It is not proper to take up any unfinished business from a former board meeting, and though it may be legal to take a tw o-tliiiils Mr. Kellar Dill for the yeas and nays; there is no use in losing time arguing. ' Lost by Jnst One Vote. On a call it was found that 22 members were in favor of having the action of the board reconsidered, and so disposing of the advertising bugbear, while 12 voted against it. ir one or the minority had voted with the majority, the proceedings might have assumed a - cry lively tinge trom this on, the Chairman ruling that it required 24 votes to make the requisite majority. The minority votes w ere cast by Messrs. Benz, Berger, Boos, Bradley, Fichtelk Fox, Henderson, Loughrau, Phelps, Swcntzel, Wainwright nnd Zagle. A motion to adjourn was then put nnd carried. xn regaru iu jus uiuliuu io recunsiucr tne action of the board in advertising for appli cations for tho High School positions, Dr. McCandless said alter the meeting that he considered it grosbly unfair to allow the members of tho faculty to remain undor tho htiirma, conveved by implication under the advertisements, that they were unfit for their positions. Since theboard had accept- ed the report of its committee and sustained the faculty in its action it was only proper I that the action of tlio board at its former meeting should bo rescinded and the adver tisements recalled. There -was no Justicce at all in permitting the whole body of the fac ulty to remain under reproach because of allegations against one or two members. It Is deemed as very probable that the board rill rescind its resolutions regarding the High School faculty at its next meeting in June. By some members the episode is regarded ns already concluded, as the next meeting was so closely to the end of the year as to make it practically impossible to take any steps with regard to the faculty before its ufembers would retire by expiration of term. As far as Miss Nobbs Is concerned she is now under suspension from the school until such time as she elects to read nn anoloo-v before the faculty and declares her intention of conforming to the rules. WAITING FOR THE MONEY. Nothing Can Bo Dono for tho Fourth of July Celebration, Until It Is Known About How the People Will Eespond "With Subscriptions. Preparations for the great Fourth of July celebration at Schenloy Park will be started ns soon as some of the subscriptions begin to come in. Some prominent merchants are expected to respond to tho call either to-day or to-morrow, and after the money is onco started it is cxrccted to come freely. Mayor Gourley and Chief Bigelow held a conference yesterday nnd decided that no expenditures will bo made until they gain some idea, from the amount of contributions, how much money they will have. Agents for fireworks companies from tho East have been in town several days en deavoring to secure the order for the pyro technic display, but they have been unable to get any satisfaction because it is impos sible to estimate how much can be expended for fireworks. The agents say it will require a month for their factories to get out tho order if it should bo of any size. Two or three- Pittsburg firms will be bidders for tho contract nnd they will be given tho prefer ence n iiieir nguros are reasonamens com pared with the Eastern manufacturers. Tho street railway presidents have not indicated yet what they propose to con tribute, but most of them are expected to say something to-day or -to-morrow. If not they will bo called upon personally by tho Mayor or Mr. Bigelow. The Mayor has re ceived promises from a number of business men or their intention to subscribe, but as yet no actual pledges have been put down. In order to reach those who may have for gotten to ..ci.i to the matter he has pre pared the following letter which ho will mail to all the banks and a largo number of iuc Dusincss men to-aay: To Bankers and Business Men of the City of Pitts burg: Dr.xn Sras We are anxious to consummate at as early a date as possible the necessary arrangements for a large and successful patriotic celebration at Schenley Park on the Fourth oi July, with an ex tensive display or fireworks In the evening.

NO TALK OF A TETJST. The Tin Plate Association Will Be Formed for Mutual Benefit. A CLOTfflXO BOYCOTT ORDERED. Contractors Claim to Be Making Headway in the Strike. DOINGS OP A DAT IN LABOE CIRCLES. A meeting or the tin plato manufacturers will be held in tho Hotel Anderson to-day to further tho organization that has been started for the purpose of promoting the tin plate Industry throughout the country. Tho manufacturers claim It Is possible to leave the rolling of sheets to the mills who are now oquipped for tho work and have tho tinning plants proper in the hands or others. By this plan it is also thought the industry could be established at less expense. Tho following firms are expected to be represented in to-day's meeting: Tho United States Tin Plato Company, P. H. Laufman & Co., orApollo; Somers Bros. & Co., Brook lyn; Marshall Bros. & Co., Brooklyn; tho Britton Boiling Mills Company, Cleveland; tho St. Louis Stamping Company, St. Louis; Jennings Bros. & Co., Pittsburg; tho Can nonsburg Iron and Steel Company, Cannons-, burg, To.; Kirkpatrick & Co., Pittsburg, and the Falcon Iron and Nail Company, Nilcs, O. Theso mills are already in working order nnd turning out plates at tho rate of nearly 00,000 tons annually. Atarecentmoet ing in Now York a committeo was appointed consisting of A.Marshall, F. G. Niodrfnghaus, D. M. Somers and W. C Cronemeyer, to act In conjunction with tho Chairman and Sec retary, j. jii. ana u. it uritton respectively, for tho purposo of reporting a plan for a per manent organization. This committeo will report at to-day's meeting. It is said that letters have been received from mining companies in tho far West claiming that they can furnish any amount of tin after July L D. M. Somers, or Brooklyn, nnd F. E. Phillips, or Philadelphia, arrived last even ing. The others will be here this morning. Mr. Somers is a Democrat, and he says the first call stated the object wastopromoto tho tin plato industry in tho country. Tho committeo on organization will report at this meeting, and then the plan or operation will bo outlined. Mr. Somers said he was op posed to anything like a combination as It would kill the business, and so far as lie was concerned tho main motive would not bo to keep up the present Me Kinley tariff. He thought the object was to help each other and tho business by a com parison of ideas every once in a whilo. "Tho tariff can't bo disturbed," said Mr. Somers, "for tho next three years, and then under the present duty the manufacturers will bo as thick ns black birds. In my opinion it would be a good thing for tho trade to cut down tho duty ns it would keep ajgreat many people out. Even if the tariff were cut to 1 cent per pound, tho old duty, wo could still mako tin plate. Wc are large consumers, and might as well mako it ourselves. The only way to make plato successfully is to build entirely now works with improved machinery, and this is what we are doing. Onr plant will bo ready to operate about September 1. Wo havo stnrtod in with a determination to mako tin plate, nnd will show the people that it can bo done. About three-fourths or tho plato made in the world is consumed in America. Tho importers arc showing their hand all over the country in trying to got the agencies from tho different manuracturcrs." Mr. Phillips is a tariff man, and, in tho main, spoke in a similar strain. His com pany is building a plant. Not as many people havo gono into the business as par tisan papers hnve represented since tho passage of the new tariff. This gave the op position press a chance to go to the other extreme nnd declare that no tin plato plants were being erected. Herein both sidesmads blunders. He says the Americans can com peto with tho foreigners.and the latter know it only too well. Tho raw material will bo imported from Australia, where England gets her supply. MAPS OF THE CAHAL. Engineers' Society Presented With Dia grams of tho Now Waterway. Tho regular mooting ol tho Western Penn sylvania Engineers Society was held last night. Colonel T. P. Roberts prcsid'd.

Superintendent Weir Says the Sale of City Horses Was All Sight. Tho Department of Public Safety yester day turned into tho city's sinking fund $1, 00350, realized on the sale of worn-out horses of tho polico and fire bureaus. Un der the law money realized from such sales must become part of the sinking fund. Last year when Chief Brown turnod tho money received from this source ovor to Controller Morrow, ho had neglected to deduct from it the 5 per cent commission due to the auctioneer, nnd the Controller refused to al low the deduction after the money got into his hands, thus making it necessary to pay tho auctioneer from the appropriation of tho department. This was not considered fair and yesterday beforo tho money was turned over to the Controller the auction cer's commission, amounting to $53, was do ducted. Some controversy has arisen over the fact that Select Councilman Doyle, whose busi ness is that of nn auctioneer, was cmnlovcd to sell the city's horses, it being alleged he is legally debarred from such servico by reason of his being a Councilman. Superin tendent Weir claims that Doylo was sent to Serforrc. the work bv tho auctioneer who ad tho contract and he had as much right to do it as any other man. THEY BOLTED THE EXILES.

LAST OP THE BUTLER SCHOOL, Captain Boyer Says tho State Should Edu cate Pauper Children. Thomas J. Stewart, Secretary of Internal Affairs; Colonel Frank Mageo and Captain GcorgoG. Boyer, of Harrisburg, State Com mander of the G. A. R., inspected tho soldiers' orphan school yesterday at Butler. They aro members of tho State Commission. Captain Boyer said the Butler school would be closed this spring with the one at Phila delphia. The commission hated to do it, as tho Butler people aro doing a good work, but tho law demanded it. Tho pupils will bo placed in tho Harford and Uniontown schools. When the commlsiin was ap pointed in 1889 there wero 1,500 children in the Stato schools. The number has been re duced to 900 and in a few years more all tho schools will bo abolished. Captain Boyer thinks 1; would doublv pay tho State to maintain tho schools for the ed ucation of homeless and pauper children. It is tho only way to teach them to bo men and women, and keep them out of crime. He is a great believer in tho potency of education as amoral agent, and says that some of tho best menln tho State owe their standing and tiscrulness to tho orphan schools. They havo been more fortunate than tho children of tho poor. TJNIFOEMS FOE THE DEIVEBS. Postmaster McKcan Makes Another Im provement to Bis Service. Postmaster McKeati has scored another point in his effort to havo all the employes connected with the postofflce uniformed.

Ho has ordered Contractor Crouso to put on two additional wire screen wagons in this city. THROWN OUT UPON THE WORLD. Will Try to Make Frank Donaldson Clotho DIs Child.

Mayor Gourley Turns His Batteries Upon the Bureau of Tire. CHIEF BROWN AGREES WITH HDT. And the Eesult Will Be a Long Communi cation to Councils. THE DEPARTMENT BEHIND TEE TIMES Councils will have several Important mat ters to nttend to at their next meeting. Prominent among theso will be a communi cation from Chief Brown concerning tho Fire Bureau. For a-long time past the Chief has been convinced that Pittsburg is sadly in need of something better in its fire-fighting department. Equipments all around aro littlo better than 25 years ago, when tho city was a village compared to what it is now. Tho Chief has recognized this fact, but has been unable to remedy tho defects. Urged jn by tho disastrous results of several recent fires, he has been more outspoken than be fore in his claims. ' A fire boat and water tower havo both be come necessities and the head of tho Depart ment of Public Safety has not been slow to speak his mind in tho matter. Another fea ture of tho question he has been reserved about until Mayor Gourley broke tho lco Monday in a letter urging tho necessity of a now Superintendent. What the Mayor Has to Say. This letter was made public yesterday, and is as follows: J. O. Brown, Chief of tho Department Public Safety: Dear Sib At the last meeting of Councils there was presented to that honorable body by the under writers of this city a communication touching our Are department, which was referred to you for con sideration. While you are Investigating matters called to tho attention of Councils in that important document, would It not be well for you at the samo wine w consiuer me propriety oi a complete reor ganization of your Fire Bureau? Havo we an efficient fire department? Is It equal to the requirements of the times? Is there Incom petent management of fires? These are questions repeatedly asked by the citizens and taxpayers of this city Whatever the nnaHfleationfl nfthn men consti tuting your force, whatever their skill, whatever their courage In the discharge of their dangerous and difficult duties, they are handicapped and crippled unless guided, controlled and managed by the cool judgment of an officer thoroughly equipped for the position of superintendent. That your present superintendent is not, in your own Judg ment, such an offlcer.ls amply attested by your own words and actions. I have no harsh or unkind criticism to make of the gentleman at the head of your fire bureau. He has spent long years and the most active days of his life In the sen Ice. Rut I wish to state for your information that there Is a wide-spread feeling In the community that tho time has fullv come when the management or that Important department should pass into other hands. Confessed Necessity for a Change. Von, yourself, have repeatedly voiced this senti ment, and It Is principally upon your own utter ances that I base this communication. Tliat you, months ago, recognized the pressing necessity or a change Is evidenced In the fact that you endeavored to secure tho passage of an ordinance creating a new office and authorizing the appointment by you of an officer to fill it at a salary of?3, 000 a year. That officer, who was to be known as Fire Director, was to supersede the present Superintendent, as sume the duties of that official and become the head of your fire bureau. After that ordinance had passed select council and before It waa presented to the common branch, you came to my office and asked inc If I would ap prove the measure. Before answering, I Inquired perlntendent at an annual Hilary of $2,400 In a po sition the duties and responsibilities of which were, bv the ordinance, transferred to a newly created Office? You answered, yes, with the explanatory remark that a promlnentpolltlclan, giving the gen tleman's name, would not permit his removal. I then Informed you that I would veto the ordi nance for the reason that I could not favor legis lation that created new office with a large salary, while it at the same tlm3 contemplated the reten tion. In a lucrative sinecure, of the superintendent whom the new appointee was Intended to super sede. Hard Slap at an Unnamed Official. The ordinance, therefore, never reached Common Council. It was permitted to die. As a conse quence, protection from lire In this city Is en trusted to the care of a department under the direct superintendence of an officer whose Incapacity yon yourself have time and again declared. And why? Simply because, as you admit, a single individual not connected in any manner with the city government issued the decree that a change should not be made. I make no charge". I base these re marks upon a well-defined knowledge of your own vlew9. The power of appointment Is with you, and upon you the responsibility rests. The fire de partment Is maintained ana supported by the monev contributed by the taxpayers of this city, and they In return have a right to expect the best possible service. That service cannot be rendered except by the best possible management, and that management can only be had through the untiring efforts and unquestioned ability of tho man who stands at the head of the bureau. I call your attention to this matter becanse I be lieve It to be In the lino of my duty, and I do so In the earnest hopoihat whatever the necessities de mand will be promptly executed by you. Respect fully jours, II. I. Goubley, Mayor. Tho letter was largely commented on yes terday. When Chief Brown was seen he said: Chief Brown Agrees With Bis Honor. "I agree with Mayor Gourley about tho necessity of ahead to tho fire department. Tho great trouble is the Mayor wants to knock out Chief Evans. This I am opposed f o. Ho has served the city faithfully and should not bo cast aside now. My idea Is to have a fire director fully competent to manago tho dopartraont at work. Mr. Evans could act as superintendent, similar to tho Superintendent of Police. I propose to present the case to Councils at tho next meeting. "There arc other changes alsojust nsmuch needed as this. Wo must havo a firo.boat or water tower in order to copo with the flames in tho business portion of the city. I have sovoral letters from coal merchants on tho subject of Increasing tho apparatus in this way." ii it was Tour lnieniion 10 rpram xne exisunir su. Tho idea of creating tho new office of Fire Director nnd still keeping Mr. Evans in his position, has been before Councils in the form of nn ordinance twice and has failed to pass. What action thoso bodies will take on it a third time cannot be told, but it is probable that if they consider It favorably tho Mayor will veto any ordinance to that effect, although ho will not say so. MOTHER AND CHILD DRUNK. A Miner's Wlfo and Four-Tear-Old Daugh ter Picked Up Helpless. Officer James O'Hara yosterday afternoon picked up n rather handsome woman, 30 years of ago, and a girl i years old, both helplessly intoxicated. They were taken to Central Stntlon, where Police SnrgeonMoycr worked two hours to bring tho child to con sciousness. When the woman soberod up she said she was tho little girl's mothor. Sho gave her namo as Catherine Millian, wife of a coal miner at Crabtrco, Westmoreland county. Sho said her littlo girl was suffering from some uiseusu iuui toe uoctors couia not un derstand, and she camo hero yesterday morning to havo tho child treated by Father Molllncqr. Sho got Into the city about noon yesterday, and went to a safoon with a friend or her husbands, where they hadacouplo or drinks. When sho got out on tho street sho becamo dizzy. She declared that tho child had been given nothing but a bottle of mineral water, but there Is little doubt that the girl had been dosed with liquor. Tho caso will bo further Investigated this morn ing. . ' ENOUGH TO MAKE IT RAIN. The Stayton-'Wyman Contest Coming to tho Front Once More. Look out for a good rain now. TheStay-ton-Wyman Allegheny Mayoralty contest was up ngaln yesterday beforo Commissioner J. D. Shafer. Mr. Brennen was on hand for Mr. Stayton ana jsir. nugney ior Mr. Wyman, and another rather tiresome seanco was held over a collection of ballot boxes which tho election officers of somp districts had previously failed to find. The searchers reported that nothing par ticularly explosive had been discovered. The investigators looked as though it was warm, dry work and a long time between drinks. John Ferguson Seriously Hurt. On Monday night W. B. Curry, colored, and John Ferguson, of 41 Tunnel street, had a dispute ovor the right to use a back alley, which ended by Curry knocking the whito man down with a paving block. Ferguson was carried to Dr. Foster's office, where a hole five inches in length was found on his head. His injury is" serious. Curry was ar rested by Lieutenant Waggoner, and is now In J ail awaiting developments. ti A Petition for Mr. Lazear. W. J. Brennen, Patrick Foley, Gns Inspec tor Patterson and Ed Kennedy went to Har risburg last evening to present a petition to the Governor urging him to appoint P. C. Lazear as one of the county Judges. Mr. Foley Bald they bad a petition a yard long. MAY NOT BE FINISHED. Chief Bigelow Undecided as to Whether the Half-Done Streets Shall Bo Com pletedNew Petitions May Be Necessary Probably Go to Councils. Tho question whether the city shall go ahead and finish the work on streets stopped by the Supreme Court decision has not been settled. In many coses the property owners may have to petition again under the new act before they can Tiave their streets im proved. Chief Bigelow, when asked about tho matter yesterday, said: - "I do not think we will havo to finish up these streets to escape suits for damages from the contractors. The city reserves the right to stop work on pressing oc casions and cannot bo held for dam ages. Of course we will have to pay the contractors for the work done, nnd any materials thov havo furnished, but beyond that there will be nothing to pay. Incaso of a street where $200,000 was re quired to do the work and only $2,000 of it wns done, I do not believe it best to have tho contractor go on. Where a large portion of tho improvement has been completed the case is different. The whole question may be left with Councils to settle." Tho city's attorneys werebusj yesterday making preparations for tho test suits to bo brought under the new street acts, and they havo little time to talk. LEFT LIMBS INJURED. Tho South Paws Suffered the Most Yesterday ' in Accidents. Tbonnmbcr of accidents yes terdayrcached five, all of a slight character.

A still alarm was turned in at the Hopo engine house, yesterday afternoon, for a fire on the Pittsburg and Western dump at the foot of Craig street. As alarm from station 263, about 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, was occasioned by a small fire in a children's playhouse, on Ella street, Bloomfiold. A 8LiQirr fire occurred on tho roof of tho Oliver & Roberts Wire Company's, Fourth street mill, shortly after 10 o'clock last night. An alarm was sent in from box 129.

APPEL Deserted by All Her Belatives, fine & Slowly Dying in a Hovel. NOT ENOUGH CIOTHEfG TO COYER HEE. In tho heart or the Twentieth ward, with church bells ringing on all sides, stands a little elght-by-twelve, white-paintedjeottage, which contains but two rooms. It is within bearing of the palatial residences of Shady sido and Koup. From tho little door, with its untrimmed grape vine hanging overhead, can be seen the shaded piazzas of Fifth avenue, and on the other side aro magnifi cent houses on Ellsworth avenue, where church societies meet, and, over cups of fragrant tea, gossip as to the best method of improving the condition of the African 6avago or carrying the gospel into tho heart of the Chinese empire. Within that cottage a woman is starving: and for years has suf fered for want of food. Her namo ia Mrs. Sophia AppeL Her 86 years of ago havo made her hair snowy white, as well as seamed and fur rowed her faco with wrinkles. For years, apparently, she has not been washed, and each seam has become but a streak or black so deep that one would almost believe they were painted there. A Picture or Abject Poverty. When spoken to last night she reached out her hand. It was but the bony, skinny con tinuation of an arm that more resembled tho claw of a beast than a human member. Her tossed hair was screwed into the sem blance of a knot that only gave her a more weird look. Sho wore only a knitted waist that partly covered her, with the assistanco of a torn and ragged skirt that reached only abovo her knees, leaving her limbs ex posed and devoid even of shoes or stockings. So much of her was re vealed in themoonlightthatstolein through the rents in a horse blanket that served as a blind for the one window. Tho strange sccno and the deepened shadows seemed to lend to tho placo tliat uncanny reeling that is associated with the witch stories ot child hood. Her bed was but a pilo or rags more filthy than those she wore. How long she has worn her present clothing no one knows, for day or night she is always attired tho same. The room she occupies takes up but half the cottage, tho other room being vacant. In tho place she calls her homo she has stored all sorts of rubbish. In one corner is a broken stove, and scattered everywhere are old shoes, rags, horseshoes and bits of iron she had gathered up In her wanderings. Broken In Mind as Well as Body. To say tho placo Is filthy would hardly describo the dirt that exists in the hovel. The woman is childish, and her sufferings have broken her mind, although there are still traces of reason. Often she is unable to hunt for food, and lives only on what the neighbors cany in to her. Frequently sho has gono for days without food. Yesterday her case was brought to tho at tention of Humane Agent O'Brien, and an attempt will bo made to-day to take her to the City Farm. The history of this strange woman Is that sho came from Germany with her husband 40 years ago. He was a butcher, and they lived well until he lost all his money by speculation. Four years ago ho died in ab ject poverty in tho hovel in which she still lives. Since then she has eaten only when the neighbors brought her rood. Sho has two daughters married and living in Pitts burg In good circumstances. One of her sons-in-law, Mr. Smith, owns the houso in which she lives, as well as two others. It Is said he once offered her a home, but she re fused to go, and since then but little atten tion has been paid to her. Last night there was not the least bit of food in the houso.
