1 Km -tf THE FTTTSBTJRG DISPATCH MONDAY, UNE 13, 5892. ESf A REAL HOT SUNDAY Drives tlio Sweltering Resi dents of the Twin Cities in Search of Shade. PICXICS IN IHE PAEKS. Whole Families Spend the Day and Luncheon in Itchenlcy. THE MYERS FULL OF BATHERS. Several Deaths bj Drowning Reported to Coroner McDowell. URGENT NEED TOR TCBLIC BATHS The blessing of public parks and the necessity for public baths were both illus trated with great emphasis in this city yes terday. Hundreds of dollars in gold were as nothin; in comparison to the pleasure, happiness and satisfaction enjoyed by many thousands of people in the cool shade of the countless trees at Schenlcy Park or inhaling the invigorating breeze from the elevated siination at Highland. Tne day opened excessively warm, and early in the .morning people began to wonder how they would endure the heat that was bound to come as the hoars rolled along. To many the thought of the country, the fields and the shade trees came like a dreim and then came the realization that only a half-hour's pleasant ride was neces sary to make the dream real. To think was to act with many, for long before the churches had assembled theircongregational crowds began to flock to the parks. Whole Famtlirs Picknicked in the Parks. Whole families went, provided with luncheon, to spend a day of rest in the cool, pure atmosphere, away from brick pave ments and the hot, stifling air of the built up portions of the city. All day long the cars were going out lull and coming back nearly empty. From soon after noon until after 6 o'clock last evening the procession entering the main entrance to Schcnley Park reminded one of the throngs to the old-fashioned celebrations of the Fourth of July. People came in all sorts of convey ances on bicycles, on cars and on toot. There were many pairs of lovers there, groups of boys and girls, little outing parties of grown folk, and people of all walks and stations in life. During the afternoon it seemed that every tree in the part croteeted some person from the sun's rays, aad the shaded hillsides were numer ously dotted with reclining seekers for rest and comfort. It was estimated that 40,000 people visited Schenley Park yesterday and half as many Highland. Many remained late, and the cars coming in from the East End were crowded until nearly midnight. Tne Weather Man Abased, as Usual. Down in the city those who could not get away twcltered and endured the heat as best they could. The maximum of torrid ity was reached at 2 o'clock in the after noon. Themometers all over the city regis tered from 92 to 96 in the shade at that hour though the weather clerk, with aggravating coolness, fanned himself with a chip hat as be remarked that the weather rauge on top of the new Government building only showed 88 degrees. This, he also said, was cooler by two degrees than one day abont two weeks ago, but no one believed him and no one ever will. Anyone desirous of gathering an argu ment in favor of public bathhouses need only have walked along the wharves and the city's river front yesterday and then paid a visit to Coroner JIcDowelL The rivers were alive with youthful bathers all around the city, and the police, where they made an effort 10 put a stop to the pleasure of the swimmers, had a livelv and generally unsuccessful time of it. AloDg the Alle- fheny river side modest folk crossing the ridges found it good policy to look straight ahead to avoid a vision of shocking nudity presented by the urchins, and in some caaes young men who swarmed in the water along the whar Tn River Alivo With BMners. This was particularly the case above Xinth street and as far up the river as Sharpsburp. On the Monongahela side from Lock Ka 1 to the western limit of the city swimmer were also numerous. Down about the Point bridge and the West End the police made a bold effort to capture the youngsters, but were onlv laughed ana jeered at lor their trouble, the lads always ruakinc their escape with little difficulty." The first Jatal swimming accident of "the season occurred Saturday evening and the bodj was recovered yesterday. Twelve-year-old Edward Butler, son of Joseph But ler, of the Ligget Spring and Axle Com pany, ran donn from his father's office at the foot of Spruce street, Allegheny, to play along the river shore. An hour or two later his father learned that his boy was drowned. He had gone in for a Saturday evening bathe, and, setting into one of the treacherous Holes that abound in the rivers all around the city, sank and drowned be cause he could not swim. The body was found within a few yards of where lie had been last seen and was taken to the parents' home. aicK-espDrt Contributes Anoth-r Victim. A similar case was reported from Mc Keesport yesterday.aad, now that the water has become warm enough to tempt the boys into it, the death roll from that cause is expected to grow rapidly. Last summer 27 persons swimming in the rivers here abouts were drowned. In a majority of cases they were bovs, unable to swim. Speaking of this record Coroner Mc Dowell said: '! don't believe there is an other large city in the country where so many peonle lose their lives in this wav as in Pittsburg. The reason is, to me, plain enough. In all other big cities where there is an extensive water front provision is made for the cleanliness of the masses and for instructing the boys in the inval uable art of swimming by means of practi cally free bath housea. In Xew York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cleveland and other cities, these institutions are conducted in such a manner that they exert a powerful influence for good, as well as saving many lives. In some cities the municipal govern ment conducts them as parks, libraries or other public aflairs are managed and this, I believe, is the best method. But it would be possible here, as in some other cities, for private citizens who desired and could afford to benefit mankind to establish a practi cally free bath. Conld be Easily SIsde Self-Snpportinc "A grant fromthe city could besecured t place large bathing boats at convenient places along the warves, and after the first cost they could be maintained either by small private suoscriptions or by charging A Small sum. lran,nnr fnr ih nritrit. c oFtakina bath. Even" at that small sum during the summer seaon, I believe there would be sufficient patronage to maintain such an institution. A boy or a man would willingly forego the pleasure or avoid the risk of a swim in the river if he could go into a bath pool for a penny, and many a one who fails to bathe with proper frequency would manage to take a bath once or twice a week at least The bath ing institutions now in operation in this city have done much good alreadv, but the'r are too expensive for the great niasi of the people, and do not take the place of the class that i suggest. "This city could not better spend $10,000 or f 20,000 a year than she could on a series of tree bathing pools. They have amoral effect where properly conducted." and their other advantages are too numerous to men tion, aside from the saving of human life, which would either directly or indirectly result." ON A RUNAWAY CAR. Pilcrlmi to St. Anthony's Shrine Have a Very Startling Experience Within a Few Feet or Certain Death Saved by a GirtrdKall. Seventy-five people, the majority of whom are temporarily located at several boarding houses in the vicinity of Father Mollinger's residence on Troy Hill, nar rowly escaped a frightful death yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock. These people represented not only a number of local vis itors who bad gone to the hill to witness the inaugural services attending the great event of St, Anthony's day, but a number of incurables who had come to the priest physician from various parts of the country to have their ailments treated. Some of them, not being able to gain ad mission to the crowded chapel on account of the limited space, concluded to return to their homes, while those who lived in the vicinity of the chapel made up their minds to take a car ride and thus relieve the monotony of such a warm and sultry day. They all boarded car No. 115, of the Pleas ant Valley line, and to say the body and both platforms were thronged would not describe the condition. The car had only traveled a short distance and was turning one of those sharp curves with which Troy Hill abound', when there was a hitch in the brake and the necessary apparatus would not work. The car ran around the curve with frighful speed, and instead of holding to the rails it jumped the tracks and ran a distance of about 30 feet before it finally came to a stand stilL To make matters worse, at this point there is a high blufl or embankment, the base of,hicli begins in Ohio street some 400 or 500 feet below, and if tha car had gone over this hill a terrible catastrophe would have taken place- In describing the events aiterward the passengers' statements difler. Some say the car ran to the very edge of the bluff, and if it had not been for a strong fence or guard rail the car would certainly have gone over. The wildest excitement prevailed among the Sassengers. There was a mad rush for the oor, while it is alleged that some, being unable to regain their feet, tried to crawl through the windows. Others state that the car did not go to the edge of the embank ment and that the accident occurred and was over so quickly that the passengers had no time to get frightened. The car was afterward righted and continued on its way with less pt lie on board. JOHNNY STR0UP DEAD. Had or the Checkered Career or a Well Known Plttibnrcer Once a Famous Jockey and Xater a ?fotd Host His Death Largely Due to Disappointment. John C Stroup died at the Mercy Hos pital at 3 o'clock yesterday morning of paralysis of the heart. He had been sick only three days and was taken to the hospital on Friday. For many yean he has been a well-known character in this city. At one time he was August Bel mont's jockey and before the seventies rode and won for him in one of the greatest events of the history of the turf. His career in this city was decidedly checkered and charity demands that little be said of that part of his life. For many years he had been a saloon keeper. The place kept by him in the Dia mond, known as the "Bandbox," was said to be the finest saloon west of New York City, and in it he had a mirror said to be the. largest in the country. "When he was refused a license here in 1891 he was heartbroken, the disappointment weighing so heavily that his, mind became affected. He at that time determined to circumvent the Brooks law by having liquor carried from an adjoining licensed nlaced and served in his handsome bar room, but was defeated by the authorities and his place closed. Subsequently be secured a license at Cleveland and moved his fixtures there, but his big mirror was broken when within a square of the new place. "While in Cleve land his main trouble, which had been partially cured, returned and he sold out and went to his mother at Philadelphia, where he was treated and again pronounced cured. Early in March he returned to Pittsburg and became mana ger of the Hotel Xormandie, on Smithfield street. On Friday his old trouble returned, and his actions made it necessary to remove him to the hospital. The physicians say alcohol had considerable to "do with his death. Stroup was 40 years of age, and leaves a grown son and daughter by his first wife, who are at school in jfew York. His second wife has been living with him at 384 Fifth avenue, and there his remains have been removed. His brother, George Stroup, is a physician at Eddington, and his mother and siter live at Philadelphia. They have been notified of his death, and the funeral arrangements will be made on their arrival here. HE TUKIfED OVER A COBPSE. Mrs. Ancle Kosrng Dies Suddenly From Kbrnmatlim of the Heart. Coroner Clerk Grant Miller yesterday in vestigated the sudden death of Mrs. Annie Rosens:, of 115 Julia street, East End. She was 49 years old, and had been ill for a lone time. The husband did not think her case was serious and never called in a doctor. Sat urday night she became much worse. About 5:30 o'clock yesterday morning he was awakened by her moaning. He went to the bedside. She was lying on her face, and as he reached there the moaning ceased. Bend ing down lie rolled her oer. She was dead. She had been afflicted with rheumatism and it had gone to her heart. Couldn't Pitch a Straight Ba'L Bartley Keefer resides on Mt. "Washing ton, and yesterday went to visit some friends in Chartiers. He drank more liquor than he should and was badly intox icated when he started home. On "West Carson street he noticed two dogs fighting and picked up a stone and threw it at them. His aim was inaccurate, and the stone hit Sallie Kearn, a 6-year-old child, on the head, inflicting a scalp wound. She was not seriously hurt, but Keefer was arrested and locked up.

Praises for Harrison Are Mingled With Tears lor Blaine. REID WONT BE A DEAD WEIGHT. Kew Jersey Delegation Enthflsiastic Orer the Ticket. COOKE SATS THERE WAS CROOKEDNESS Echoes from Minneapolis reverberated throughout Union depot last night in various cadenzas of tone. The New Jer sey delegation, a mild mannered set of mild mannered men, were en route home after scoring a mild little triumph and they patted each other on the back and dittoed on every other back. The strain was Harrisonian from the time the train steamed in until it steamed out again. These delegates from the suburban Slate of New York were enthusiastic, and each and every one of them said the Novem ber elections would prove the truth of their words to the effect that New Jersey would make the nearest approach to going .Repub lican it yet has. Congressman C A. Bergen laid there were two dead issues in the Republican party, "and," said he, "one is one and the other is two." "When pressed closer for a more lucid reply, he declared that the second was a man who attained some little eminence through a high protection bill, and the other was known to various and sundry people by the name of James G. Blaine. McKInley Can Never Recover. Then, calling a halt upon hisbantering.he proclaimed emphatically that Blaine and McKinley had been dealt a deathblow by their own actions previous to and during the Republican Convention. "Blaine may recover from the effects," continued the dele gate, "but McKinley never will. The treach ery of the latter in ostensibly going into the convention to nominate Harrison and then turning so conspicuously for Blaine has sealed for him his own fate. He will never revive. His traitorous conduct has worked his own ruin." Captain E. H. Kirkbride, another New Jersey delegate, quaintly said Harrison could be elected without a "platform. "His past record is so clear, commendable and loyal," continued Captain Kirkbride, "that he can win without one. He is the strong est man in the country to-day, and his elec tion next November may be" most clearly anticipated." "Will not Whitelaw Reid's trouble with the people of the labor unions be a serious hindrance in the path of the party's suc cess?" asked the Dispatch man. Relet Will Not Be a Dead Weight. "Notatalll not at all!" quickly returned the delegate. "All the diSerencei between he and the Typographical Union have been amicably settled and will not affect the election to the slightest extent" uenerai w. j. bewell had a peaceful look upon his handsome faoe when The Dispatch man entered the coach, but he exclaimed excitedly that ft was just as he had anticipated previous to the start from home. "I went into the convention with that idea firmly set in my mind and hoped Harrison would be nominated. I thought Harrison would be nominated and I knew Harmon would be nominated. Conse quently I took success in quite a philosoph ic manner and simply said to myself 'I told yon so' quite a number of timet. Har rison is the man and his election is as cer tain as his" nomination was sure." "How much of a vote will the candidate receive.trom New Jersey?',' "The largest the State has ever given a Republican nominee," enthusiastically re plied Senator Sewell. "The people of'New Jersey are greatly pleased with the record President Harrison has made and will give him a surprisingly large support, consider ing the ruling political feeling in our State. Harrison is the logical candidate of the Re publican party and will be elected beyond me vesiige oi a aouot. Blaine Was the Choice of tha Feop'e. In other parts of the train there was talk of a trifle different nature. The other parts were the forward coaches, and in these were delegates of different looks. Their faces bore traces of disappointment and their words were in accordance with their looks. J. "W. Cook, of Cooksburg, talked straight and to the point. He asserted most em phatically that the President's nomination had been secured by crookedness and that the voice of the convention was for Blaine, while it was only a few who held the reins of power that desired to see the President succeed himself. "Harrison was nominated by the South, which cannot elect, and was opposed by the North, which can and does," is the way the delegate terselv put it. Colored Delegate S. "W. "Williams. Chair man of the Florence County (N.C) Repub lican Committee, said he feared for the re sult of the November elections. "President Harrison is strong," he said, "but not strong enough to defeat tho Democratic candidate, whoever it will be. Blaine is the only man the people want," he continued, "and they will not be satisfied with anyone else." The Convention Was a Circus, "Barnum's circus wasn't a circumstance when compared with the scenes at Conven tion Hall at Minneapolis last Friday," ac cording to another delegate who refused to talk upon the nomination. He continued by saying: "The excite ment was the most intense I have ever seen at any place, not even excepting Derby Day at Latonia. The people literally went wild. They howled, yelled and shrieked, the supporters of Blaine in anger and the Harrisonites in crazv glee. They all seemed possessed with but one desire, and that was to make a noise, and they suc ceeded most deafeningly." The Alderman McGeary Republican Club, of the Southsidr, returned home orer the Fort "Wayne road last night HUSBAHD AHD WIFE IN TROUBLE. A Fight on Webster Avenue In Which a Girl Is Serlonsly Irjnred. Officer Ed Cross arrested William Kinney, of 30 Webster avenue, on Saturday night for fighting with his wife. The prisoner was locked up in Central station, and later the officer heard that Mr. Kinney had struck a young girl named Theressa Krause during the disturbance in the house. The woman cnuld not be found later. It is said that the girl was seriously in jured and has been seized with nume'rous fits ever since the occurrence. Kinney, the prisoner, will be held until his wife is caught and the girl's injuries are investi gated. A LIVELY SUNDAY PICHIC. Beer Flows Freely at Snmm?rhIII Grove and Fights Follow. There was a lively time in Reserve town ship yesterday, according to the Allegheny police. A picnic was held at Summerhill Grove, which was attended by about 500 people. The picnic was given by a German society, and as there was a plentiful supply ot beer fights were frequent, but so far as could be learned no one was seriously hurt. Fell Into the Incline Pit. Nick Bender, a resident of Sonth Twelfth street, had a narrow escape from receiving fatal injuries last night About 10:30 o'clock he entered the upper station of the St Clair Incline andv attempted to board the car just as it was leaving the station. He fell into the pit and when picked up was insensible. Shortly afterward he re covered and was able to go to his home un assisted. His injuries consisted ot severe bruises abont the head, TONY WASN'T- DEAD, Bat He Scared His Wife Very Badly and Then Sprinted TJp a Hillside Balked Id His Atti mpt to Strangle Himself by Two Women. Allegheny police are deligently looking for Tony Cooper, who, when at home, resides at No. 27 High street, Allegheny. On Saturday night Tony wasted a large sum of money for liquor which he freely imbibed to the great detriment of his reasoning powers, and when he finally wound up at. his home he was cross and irascible. He scolded his daughter and then his wife, and they retaliated with rather harsh words. Tony became more angry every minute, and suddenly he demanded that his daugh ter bring him a butcher knife. This the girl refused to do, thinking he intended some harm to her mother and self. Subse quently the angrv man concluded to get the weapon himself. He went down stairs and after getting a big butcher knife went quietly upstairs into the garret. Here he cut a clothes line in two, and, taking one piece, he fastened one end to the wall while the other end he tied around his neck and proceeded to strangle himself in the 'most novel style. Mrs. Cooper after a time missed her spouse, and upon instituting; a search for him found him in the garret She at once loudly screamed for help and was joined by her next door neighbor. The two women cut down the dead man, or at least tber thought he was dead, and laid him down on the floor. He was black in the face and his tongue protruded several inches from his mouth. Mrs. Cooper, nearly wild with grief at being a widow, went in search of a policeman while the frightened neighbor ran down the street with the same object in view. Mrs. Cooper returned with Officer Lee and at once escorted him to the garret Turning away her head for fear of meeting the awful sight for a second time, she pointed the place out to the officer where Tony had laid. No Tony was there and the officer thought he was dealing with a crazy woman. The policeman finally convinced the woman that her husband was not lying there and to say she was surprised would only give a small idea of, her feelings. On glancinc out of the window, however, she pointed out to the officer a bare-headed man running up the hill. This was Tony, and how he recovered so quickly is a mystery. He has not been home since. THE LOYAL ORANGEMEN. The Rational Order Begins a Three Days' Convention In the Amerloin Mechanics' Hall Tuesday Morning Delegates Re ceive Political Instrnotlons. The corridors of the Seventh Avenue Hotel were thronged last night with a sturdy looking body of men who have come from all parts of the country to attend the annual convention of the Independent Order of Loyal Orangemen, which convenes in this city during the coming week. It is expected the convention this year will be attended by the largest number of delegates in the history of the order. The convention of last year was attended by more than five hundred Orangemen, and this year the number is expected to exceed that by half. To-morrow morning the con vention will formally open at the American Mechanics' Hall in Allegheny at 9:30 o'clock, with the Royal Black Knights in session. This society is but a sub-order of the main body, and nothing of any moment will transpire. Tuesday morning the main body will begin a three days' session and will be con ducted in private. It is expected that the delegates will receive political instruction, although this could not be authenticated, as the delegates retrain from discussing the proposed business. Grand Master "W. J. H. Trainor, ot Detroit, is expected to arrive to-day and preparations will be immediately made for the beginning of the convention.

TROY'S PILGRIMS Gatherin? by Thousands at St. An thony's Shrine to Eeceive A PRIEST'S HEALING BLESSING. Father Mollinger Opens the Feast of His 1'atron faint. 1HE LITTLE CHAPEL IS THE0NGED Isolated far beyond the pale of civiliza tion or devoid of the 'proper reasoning powers is that person who has not heard of Father Mollinger, the priest-physician, his cures and his sacred shrine on Mount Troy. He is known throughout the length and breadth of the land for his treatment of all ailment to which the human flesh is heir and he has effected cures in cases that have baffled the most skilled scientists and the most eminent doctors. Father Mollinger's power is exercised at all times, and for years the afflicted from every port and clime have come to him when all others have failed, but the priest's" greatest power is believed by many to be attained on or about Si Anthony's Bay, during the feast of the Patron Saint, and at this time thousands of sick, palsied, maimed and blind appear before the healer for treatment The only thing required of this vast multitude is that they believe in God and His power through Father Mollinger and faithfully carry out the instructions of the latter. For the past three weeks the pilgrims have been arriv ing at Mount Troy by the hundreds, and as early as Saturday morning nearly all the choice accommodations had been secured. . Pen Plctnre of Father Slolllncer. The healer is a vigorous, bnt aged gentle man; his tall, well-knit form draped in a cassock, a head slightly bowed encircled by a terretta, from under which peeps a kindly face wrinkled with years, and a chin com pletely hidden by a long, heavy beard of snowy whitness. Daily he stands before the altar in the chapel, offering his blessings to the sick and helpless that reverently bow before the shrine of St. Anthony. On Saturday were inagurated the preliminary ceremonies of the feast of feasts which for mally began yesterday afternoon. As early as 2 o'clock in the afternoon the chapel wai crowded, and at 3 o'clock there was nothing hut standing room for the host ot people still crowding into the vestibule. These faithful pilgrims presented a picture no where witnessed except at Monnt Troy. While some were supported by crutches and clinging to the arms of some good friend or relative, others had bandages across their sightless eyes and were guided by the hand ot a wife, son or daughter, and following in the rear, alone, were many who apparently, by their emaciated conditions, had been ill with some racking pain or acute disease for years past All these hopeful mortals wended their way into the haven from which they expect to return healed both in flesh and spirit. Up until last eveninir there were fully 1,200 people at Mount Troy awaiting their turn or watching an opportunity to be blessed by the priest, and it is expected that as many more will arrive before this afternoon. Patients Come From the Antipodes. All or nearly all those who received blessings yesterday had come from a great distance and had been loeated on Mount Troy for some days longing for the great event, one young man from Australia being num bered among the worshipers. The cere monies proper commenced yesterday after noon at 2 o clock by the celebration of sol emn high mass, followed by the blessings at the shrine of St. An thony. The service was held in the'old chapel and not in the new one as was expected. The reason for this is be cause the latest addition to Mount Troy has not been formally dedicatee, and it is against the rules and laws of the Catholic Church to hold services in a chapel that has not been dedicated first by the Bishop. According to Father Mollinger this event will take place in due course of time, but this morning, by special permit from Bishop Phelan, the new chapel will be opened for blessings and to exhibit the relics collected to the commemoration of St. Authony. In anticipation of the great attendance to day Father Mollinger has erected opposite the chapel a large and commodious house for the accommodation of guests and visitors. This building is nearly com pleted and ready for occupancy. Here can be obtained lodging and table board for from 100 to 200 people. The widespread at tention that the priest's cures attracted last year is thought to be sufficient warrant for preparing for great crowds this time. Dur ing the week in which St. Anthony's Day came last year the boarding bouses on the mount could not begin to take care of the visitors. A number of carpenters were busy all day yesterday erectine refreshment stands for the big event of to-day. Father Mollinger will continue to bless the sick and afflicted every day until the close of this month, when he goes away for his health. HOW IT ENDED. A Gay Farty or Son hsiders Spend Sunday in the Woods and Are Deserted by the Driver A Day's Pleasure Spoiled by a Lone Walk. As the sun came peeping over the hills yesterday morning a gay party of well known Southsiders,bound for a day's outing in .the woods, boarded a wagon ladenedwith good things for the inner man and started on their way rejoicing. The course taken was toward White Hall. A particularly cool and shady nook had been selected for a stopping place and when it' was reached the wagon was unloaded, the horses were staked ont aud everyone gave themselves up to a day of leisure and quiet enjoyment Every thing went as merry as a marriage bell until the shades of night begin to fall, suggesting that it was time to "be home ward bound. The driver was called for to hitch up, but there was no response. A hasty search laiied either to discover him or the team. Loud and deep were the mal edictions heaped upon his head when it slowly dawned on the hitherto happy crowd that they were seven miles from home and without a conveyance. About 10:30 o'clock the fumble of a wagon was heard approaching a well-known South Side livery establishment. Upon ar riving the horses stopped of their own ac cord. The proprietor demanded of the driver what he had done with his load. "Oh," he said, "I got tired and the horses were tired and so I came home." 'Well, how are the people to get home?" "Well, I guess they'll have to walk," the driver answered, "I quit right here." "Granted," said the now thoroughly angered proprietor, "and you had better get away before I kick you out."

Up to M0DENED AS DEAD FOR SIX WEEKS.' She Did Not Perish in Her Burning Home ia Uiflin Township. THE HUSBAND KOff IN THE ffOEKHOUSE Phoenix'like another hum.in body that had been numbered, with the silent has risen from its ashes. Mrs. Joseph Hender son, mourned as dead for over a month, has returned in the flesh. All this time the police of McKeesport have been trying night and day to connect a thread of evidence between a bit of charred remains in her former home, in Mifflin Township, with her husband, Joseph Hen derson. Their hope was to make the thread a cord strong enough to strangle the hns band on that great gateway to eternity the gallows. Yesterday she appeared at police headquarters and declared she was Mrs. Henderson, and instead ot being a wanderer in the mists of eternity, she was only living on Mount Washington, a sort of half way honse on the road to Heaven. Joe Henderson, as he was known in the country, was a Southern negro. He was a shiftless, ne'er-do-well sort of a fellow, a lover of bad whisky, and not a very ardent lover of his wife. He was generally too strong to work, and the house he set up for his Southern wife in Mifflin township was a little 12x20 palace set upon four posts. ' Henderson Spent All He Had. Henderson spent his time with thelavish- ness of a king. He never had anything else to spend. In early life he kept his master's children on the old plantation, but in his latter days in the Koith he only kept what he could get without trouble. Living the easy retired life that he did, he had a great deal of surplus energy which he always ex pended in convincine his wife of the au thority of man over the weaker sex. Along in April of this year he went home with a comfortable jag. The neighbors de clare they heard screams coming from the house. That night the glow from his burn ing house lighted up the whole countryside. From that day Mrs. Henderson, who is L nearly white, was not seen. The tongue of gossip waggea anu me country joiks saia they heard strange noises v. hen on a night their pathway led by the ruins of the ne gro's home. The man was shunned, but as he had never floated beyond his depth in the social swim, their indifference did not cut him much. Had Tronble In McKeesport. He soon drifted to McKeesport where he formed an aflection for a pretty colored girl, Annie Whitney. The aflection was re turned. They called it love for a time and went to housekeeping. Bnt soon the old desire to teach women their inferiority came npon him and the second Mrs. Henderson received snch a beating that the authorities interfered. Henderson was arrested. The story of the burned house in Mifflin town ship leaked out. This was coupled with the fact that the wife was missing. Hender son was accused of the murder of his wife. He protested that he had never killed anything but time and a .few of the neighbor's chickens. This did not avail. Mayor Tillbrook sentenced him to 60 days in the workhouse in order to give the police time to hunt up the murder. Since then the police have been hard at work. Yesterday the dead wife surprised every body by turning up at Central Station. She said she had left her home March 17 because she was weary of ber husband. She went to Mt Washington to a friend, at Kearsarge and Syracuse streets. She has been sick, and did'not know until Saturday that she had been mourned as dead. She wanted to clear her husband, and so came to the polite. She said she could find a number' of people who would identify her as Mrs. Henderson. The husband is still at tha workhouse.
