Such dams arc always unsafe, the little

the circular stone wall dams, if properly
built, will stand Prever— barring earth
quakes.
—The County Auditois finished their
work last Saturday after having been en
gaged iu their examination of the county's

warrant in their report, a work that engag
ed their time for two weeks. They are
proud of their report, and claim that it is
a full exhibit of the county's affairs, and
absolutely correct. The report is in the
Court's hands which accounts for it. not
appearing in the papers this week.

their report brief. |u hewing the espen
ditures of the county they charge the
Treasurer with '"orders redeemed $41,000."
This is ihort enough to ..nit. the hard listed
fellows, but it is certainly very unsatisfac

of flags to the public schools were interest
iug. P,e;. Co.ert however, -who address
ed the Order in the Opera House, after the
parade, indulged in ;oine reflections upon
the County Commissioners that were not
called for. Ever since the completion of the
new Court House, the Co. Comm'rs have
made it a rule not to open the Court room
for other purposes than tie t for which it
was built, excepting for Memorial Day
services, and County Institutes. If they
should open the Court room to one society
they wottbl, in all fairness, have to open it
to all.

The "Mystery."
The Barker i'hn mL of la-it week .«a\
I We hnvo repeatedly Iteen asked if w»
knew what becams of the little girl knowt
1 as Annie Fish. alias Ada Seatou. Ac. Fen
For the benefit «>f those who still have t
I lingering desire to know of her where
abouts, we state that she is at home in
I Salina, Venango eonntv, living with hei
legitimate father, Mr. Fi.sh. After hei
narrow escape of being housed at Mop
gauza, through the "kindness" of an ea.-ilv
guliiblf magistrate and a few would-be
friends, she returned to kind, hat deluded
friends in Brain. She was housed, fed,and
clothed and everything done to help her
live down the notoriety, but .-lie soon be
came uneasy and moved to Millerstown.
While there -he had -one of her fits" but
for once failed to concoct any scheme.
She returned to Bruin to tin* ho.-pitable
hofne of Mr. Sutton. For reasons best
known to herself and the owners she re
mained only a short time. In a hurry she
left most of her clothes. After an elapse
of a few days, a letter was received at the
Sutton house requesting them to forward
her clothes to Oil City. The letter c on
tained an acknowledgement from herself
that she was Anna Fish and not Ada
Seaton. A few lines from Mr. Fish, her
father, were also enclosed in the letter.
The stand taken by this paper in regard to
the little girl from the first we had no
re&son to change, notwithstanding the
majority of the people were firm believers
in the little girl's "innocence" and "plausi
ble" story. The denouement of this re
markable ease should teach people not to
be too fast in believing strangers and de
nouncing those who eonld not conseien
| tionsly agree with them.
AT IT AGAIN.
The following is from the Pittsburgh
Times of Tuesday:
Annie Fish, a pretty, blue eyed girl, was
admitted to the West Fenn Hospital, yes
terday in an apparently unconscious con
ditioa. Investigation into the ease de
veloped a remarkable story.
About 10 o'clock last Friday morning
Mr». Leopold, a midwife, who lives on
Butler street, between Fifty first and Fifty
second streets, called at the office of Al
derman McNeirney with the young lady in
question. To the Alderman the girl told
the following story : v
"My father and step-mother, Mr. and
Mrs. William Fish, live on a farm near
Franklin, I'a. Ever since my mother
died my father has ill-treated me. beating
me terribly for the least offence. I bore it
as long as I possibly could, ami finally ap
pealed to some neighbors, who entered
suit against my father to have me taken
away from him. They lost thir case, how
ever. ami after that I received worse treat
ment than ever.
"Finally becoming desperate,! concluded
to leave him and come to Pittsburgh,
though I knew not what I would do when
I got here. Last Wednesday night I se
cured a suit of clothes from my .step
brother, who pitied me, ent off my hair,
and. disguised as a boy, boarded a freight
train and rode on the bumper of a car to
Pittsburgh, arriving here Thursday morn
ing.
"1 wandered about ail day and slept
Thursday night in a stable. I do not
know where the stable was. This morn
ing. having nothing to eat since leaving
home, I was so weak from hunger that I
could scarcely walk, but managed to get
to a house nearby, where 1 told the lady
my story and asked for something to eat.
She took me into the house and gave me a
good meal." .
Mrs. Leopold then stated that he had
gone to the house of Mrs. Kabel, on Fift}
third street, and found the girl them,
dressed in masculine attire. On the girl's
request, she went to some of the neighbors
and secured a dress for her, which was
soon substituted for the costume she had
been wearing. She then concluded to
take the girl to Alderman McNeirney to
see what should be done with her.
The girl said . lie Wanted Work and Mr..
McXeirury -nun found her a place at the
homo of William Kemana, 0142 Butler
street. She did her work well there and
all went smoothly until ycsU-rday morning
when she was found at H o'clock lying
prostrate in the hall, apparently uncon
scious. Dr. 11. B. Fulton was at once sum
moned, but could not revive her. The
patrol was sent for and she was removed
to the Seventh ward station, afterward be
ing taken to the West Penn Hospital,
where she revived about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.
l.nte in the afternoon she told quite a
<3iJl'iTi-uI story from his statement to Al
dernian McNeirney, stating that, her par
ents had both died in Priidlbrd, {'a., some
time ago, arid that bo fore coming to Pitt;
burgh she had worked at the home of
William McVeigh, at JCittauning. Sin
said she remembered nothing after going
to bed the night before, but stated l.it< r
that she did not even remember of going
to bed. She refused to say any more. Her
hands gave evidence of having done some
bard work. Her light brown hair was cut
short, but the cutting hail evidently been
done hurriedly and was very irregular.
The nurse who attended her paid there was
apparently nothing the matter with the
girl and that she was in perfect health.
l)r. Fulton said to a reporter last night:
"1 feel confident that the girl WW not un
conscious fit nil. hut was merely feigning
£he lay apparently insensible, but when I
applied stimulants I noticed her face
twitch a little. As she Could not be made
to revive, nowevcr, we had to have her
taken away in the patrol wagon. I cannot
understand her object in feigning in
sensibility unless it was to excite sym
patliy."
'{'he following dispatch was received
from Franklii; lust night:
"William Fish, father of Annie Fish, re
sides at East Sandy, on the Valley road.

away, and injured her spine so badly that
the doctor says she will never get over it.
