should overtake our descendants, these two
States, by their wealth, and the diversity Of
their resources, and by their geographical re-
lation to each other, might constitute the seat
of an empire Of wealth and power.

At point on the east branch of Black river,
near the intersection of Fourth street, and
East avenue, is place where it has been con-
venient for pedestrians to cross the river when
bridged overly ice. The thaw of last week had
weakening effectupon the ice previously form
ed over the river and rendered it an unsafe
passage.
On Thur5dfy afternoon Mrs. Beeze, wo-
man who has reached the declining age of life,
in company with two boys, aged about ten
years, started for their home ON the east side
Of the river, taking the usual route. After
reaching the river at the point above designa-
ted, they Yentured to cross, Notwithstanding
the unsafe condition of the ice. Having pro-
ceded almost to the opposite shore, the ice sud
denly gave way, and instantly precipitated
the three into deep water. The unfortunate
trio made every effort to save themselves, but
these efforts were unsuccessful, as it was i'm
possible for either of them to rise above the
ice.
At this junoture little Mary Sudro, aged
eleven years, whose parents reside close to the
river crossing, hearing the cries of the distract
ed woman and terrified children, quickly ran
to the waters edge, and perceiving at a glance
the perilous position of the struggling trio,
with remarkable presence of mind in one SO
young, seized a long pole that lay near by, and
heroically ventured upon the weak ice to their
assistance. At every step the ice bent and
cracked, as if to warn the little heroine back
from her brave purpose; but still, with the
hope OF saving their lives, even at the immi-
nent probability of losing her oYn, she kept
on her way, and finally succeeded in placing
the pole within reach of the now almost ex-
hausted woman. Here the child remained for
some time, reaching the pole to each of the
sufferers, and thus affording sufficient support
to keep their heads above water. At this juno
ture q number ofmen, who were passing by,
came to the relief of the distressed persons. A
boat was dispatched to their aid, aud after
much difficulty, the sufferers were Teseued, not,
however, until one Of the men who had gone
in the boat had narrowly escaped drowning.
The woman was taken to a neighboring
house, where she was carefully attended, but
so serious had been her fright, and so exhaus-
ting her actions to save herself, that it was
several hours ere she could be removed to her
home The children did not seem to be much
exhausted. Had it not been for the heroic
presence of mind of the little girl, q painful
calamity would inquestionable have result

nnath nf CenernI Thomas.

On Tuesday the nation was start
led by the announcement, from San.
Francisco, that General Thomas, the
great commander was no more. He
died from apolexy. No braver sol
der, or truer man has fallen before
the arch old enemy, death, than fell
when General Thomas yielded up the
ghost; the hearts Of millions will be
made sad by the announcement, and
the brave veterans who fought under
"Old Pap Thomas" will drop the
tear of affection at his sudden taking
of.
General Thomas was a native of
Virginia, having been born in South
hampton county in 1916 and gradu-
ated at West Point in 1910. He en-
tered the service as Brevet Second
Lieutenant OF the Third Artillery,
and served with credit in the Flori-
da war. For his service in that cam
pain he was breveted First Lieuten-
ant. and with that rank took part in
the Mexican war. His gallant con
duct in that war earned him the bree
vet ranks successively Of Captain
and Major. In 1S51-54 was instruc-
tor Of artillery and cavalry at West
Point. Detailed for duty on the
plains be saw much active service
on the Indian frontier, and the re-
ports uniformly were to his credit.
With his record during the late
war, his battles and his triumphs, all
are familiar. He won his renOwn
by bravery and devotion, and has
fallen with its purity untarnished.

Rev. S. S. Walls, charged with the murder
of Miss Lambert, escaped from the CentervilIe,
Indiana, jail short tim since, and it was pc
lieved he went to his home in Van Vert coun-
ty The sheriff of that county thereupon took
an assistant and went to Walls house for the
purpose of efecting his arrest. They asoer-
tanned thas the fugitive had been there and
left. There is a most unfortunate circum-
stance connected with this affair, which, it is
alleged, nearly resulted in the death of Mrs.
Walls, who was at the time in a critscal con-
diton.-On arriving at his residence, the OIL
GERS thot it necessary to put out of the wav
ferocious dog, which they accomplished bT a
shot from q revolver. This was followed up
by several heavy raps ON the door, aceompan-
led by demand for immediate adnlittance.
Mrs. Walls asked fer time 10 dress herself,
which was refused. She then opened the-door,
and the officers entered, with their revolvers
in their hands. The noise and confusion
frightened the poor unfortunats woman so
badly as to result in the premature birth of
child on the following morning, which lived
but few moments. The mother is now in a
critical condition. Great indignation is ex-
pressed throughout the neighborhood."
