The Baby MurdcreSS,
From the Boston Post.


Rose Porro, the circumstances OF
whose arrest for child numbering,
in Naples, have already been given
has made a statement to the au-
thorlties confessing the crime of which
she was accused, the details Of which
surpass in their evidence OF cruelty and
inhumanity, anything hitherto revealed.
She confessed to having caused adver-
tisements to be published in the Nea-
politan journals, stating that any per.
son desirous of riddlng themselves of
their children could procure relief by
calling upon her and paying her GER
tain sum to take full charge
of the infant. As far as the woman
was capable of remembering, she had
willingly starved to death about twenty
children, male and female, by locking
them up in an empty apartment, from
whence she could not hear their cries.
She administered poison atintervals to
about the same number of infants, and,
when dead, she was in the habit OF
concealing the corpses beneath the
floors of her house. She pursued this
terrible system of crime for three
years without detection, in
order to satisfy her greed
for money In her confession she i'm
plicated q woman by the name of Mar
garite Coryldi, who assisted her in per
petrating these crimes, and who is now
in prison with Mrs. Po1ro. In connec.
tion with the causes which led to this
conduct, she stated that her husband
had deserted her without cause, when
they had been married only five
months, and that the hopeless poverty
and anxiety which followed his deser.
tion, and the unsu]l;ed virtue of hel
early life, had led her to adopt this
method of supporting herself.

The Frozen Well.

Tho frozen we'll of Brandon, VT, was
long since the subjest Of scientific interest,
and still continues to be. 1t is forey-one
feet deep. It vas dug in 1854, but was
eventually abandoned. 1t has been found
that the winter ice was not removed when
the weather was quito warm, tho water
frozen throughout the hottest
During April last ice twenty
inches in thickness was taken out, but a.
the weather of that time was chilly, freez-
,rg again took place. On July l6 tho
in the shade was eighty. live
degrees; ut two feet from tho surface in
tho ice in the we'll tho mercury sank TO
thirty two degrees. In 1860 four shafts
were sunk in immediate proximity 70 the
we'll without striking frozen g:ound ; =
fifth ondoAver was more successful, but
the experiment was never completed,
though We learn that it will once more be
commenced ncxt summer. There is con-
siderable speculation in scientific circles
Us to why this particular locality, possi-
bly, 200 feet square, should permit the
winter cold to descend through twelve to
twenty-nino feet of clay and gravel. AND
freeze mass Of material averaging foor-
teen feet thick and yet not affect any sim,
liar spot composed Of similar strata.

Where John q. Adams Died.

When John Quincy Adams, then q
a representative from Massachusetts,
fell at his desk in the capitol, he was
carried into what was then the speak.
er's room, where he breathed his last.
A marble bust Of him was purchased
by Congress and placed in the room :;
but when the new hall of the house
was finished, and tho speaker removed
iuto his new apartment, the bust was
carried there, with the portraits of the
ex-speakers. The old hall has since
been dedicated to the reception of
statues of our prominent men, two
from each state, and the old room of
the speaker is now occupied by the
House committee of banking and cur
rency, of which the Hon. Samuel
Hooper is chairman. Mr.. Hooper,
thinking that the spot where John @.
Adams died should be appropriately
marked, has had the bust of the "olel
man eloquent brought back and
placed ON bracket over the spot where
he gave up the ghost, with the follow
ing inscription John Quincy Adams,
after fifty years of public service, six.
teen in yonder hall, was summoned
thence to die in this room, AID Febru
ary. 1848."

The Oil Combination.

The Indications are that the com
bination between producers and refners
of petroleum has altogether broken
down. Dispatches from the oil regions
say that the producers have generally
rebelled against tho terms of the re-
timers, and claim that they have been
badly treated and have suffered nearly
all the losses that have grown out OF
the combination. Prices in New YORK
have been forced down lower than they
have been for long time, and have
ruined many small operators, who
will be forced to retire from business.
These men claim that the combina
tion was nothing but q conspiracy on
the part of the heavy operators to &c.
cure a monopoly of the business and it
has leaked out that the latter have
been endeavoring to secure special con-
tracts by which their oil could have
preference in transportation over rail-
ways, and lower rates in consideration
of sending all their products by one
line. Some of the holders in New
York are greatly alarmed, as they fear
prices will 60 still lower than at pres.
ent There is a dispute as to the mag
nitude of the stocks in Europe, one
report saying that on the Continent the
supply is 100000 barrels less than this
time last year, and another statement
that the stocks there amount to more
than this time in 1872. But tile amount
in the United Kingdom is conceded
to be less than last year and
prices there have ruled very firm,
but on the Continent the decline
has been responded to. In Antwerp
there has been material decline dur
ing the past week. Scarcity of vessels
at times and high prices demanded by
refincrs have caused a falling of in the
exports to Europe. The exports to
foreign markets from January to II,
1873, we're 2,578, 577 gallons, against
1913, 766 GALLONS during the same time
last year. Other ports have also fell
the dullness and exports have been in
the same proportion. All c]asses OF
operators in petroleum are considerably
alarmed ut the future condition of the
trade and unable to form satisfactor,
opinions about it.

We've Grown. Old Together.

Sell Billy! No, loosen tho birdie i
Unfcttcr the gallant old strcd.
His eye has grown dim and uncertain,
Forgotten his ollcn-timc specl;,
But memory halors him over
Will, thoughts that arc sacrcdly dear
So pledge him no longer to labor.
And hallow that pledge with a tear.
Swift thought, glancing back past the slad
Ows,
Speaks first of She long-yanishcd DAY
He stood all so patiently waiting
by the "mcetius-houso over the way,
While held hand at the altar.
Aud vows were recorded on high,
Till the angels mt carthwarl t, murmur
Yours, yours for the ever and aye"
Oh the air was I'll throbbns with music,
Aud sunshine was gliding; the way,
When he sped with my bride to the cottage -
Our homo from that glad nuptial day.
His step had the antclopc's hcctncss,
The grace Of tho gentle gaZcllc,
As he passed the fresh mead and tho noun
tain,
Toward tho cottage we both loved SO we'll.
But, Billy, time passed, and it's changes
brouSht changes to You az, ssSs's'sS saIfssss
For SORROW sent tears to the -
Like waves overspreading the rea. ~
And, Billy, VIC two were grown Older,
Ny head was well threaded with gray,
When you waited SO solemn and silent
By tue Westinghouse over the way.
A hearse stood in waiting beside YOU;
a di:Se tloated out Oh the ar;
And tears t1ickicd silently downward,
While sobs chOked the accents OF prayer;
And the bell in the old churcll-stecpl4
Kept mournfully telling the tale
And the winds, floating tcndcriy outward,
Bore softly the piteous wall.
Just there, where VIC stood at the altar,
So happy in days loiig ago,
The coffin WAS draped i'll the symbols
Winch typlty bitterest woe.
With her meek hands silently folded,
Her slghtless orbs shaded from Wow,
With the pallor so still ON her forehead
A coldncss TO strange ON her brow,
They placed her beside that Same altar,
But this time all silent aud lone,
And they call her an angel il heaven,
Where sorrow may never be known.
Then out from the door Of the chapel
They carried that silent clay;
You bore it so slow and solemn,
The sad funereal WY.
No, Billy, we've grown old toeether.
And ycu have been faithful and true;
We've journeyed through gladncss and SORROW
Well Journey lite's pilgrimage through.
So, buyer, please loosen the bride,
Unfetter the gallant old s,ced;
And Billy, from hardship and labor,
pledge him is evermorc freed.

From the Lawrence tKan.) Journal.

From the Lawrence (Ka,l.) Journal.
A very general interest is felt in

SO suddenly assumed such prominent
position in the history of Kansas. It
gives us pleasure to crafty this lauda-
BILE curiosity by presenting the follow.
ing brief biography of Col. York:

ILL.,, July z, 1888, aud is accordingly in
his thlrt fifth year. He was educated
at Rock River Seminary, Mt. Morris,

mitted to the bar in 1861, commencing
practice in the same year at Lanark,
Carroll county, Ill. He entered the
army in September, 1862, as private in

ed to first Lieutenant, and was with

gagements until after the battle of
Chlckamauga. He was promoted by
Adi. Gen. Thomas to Lieut.. Col. of the
Fifteenth U s. colored infantry, and

1866.
In June, 1866, he settled at Shelbina.

ernor.
He went to Independence, Montgom.

Death of Commodore Mckinstry.
From the Detroit Post Of Wednesday.

Commodore James P. McKinstry,
U. S. n, died at his residence in this
city yesterday noon. He suffered an
attack of apoplexy on Friday from
which be did not rally. He was born
in Hudson, New York, February 9,
1907, and was therefore 66 years of age.
His father was colonel in the regular
army and served in that capacity dur
ing the war of 1912. Soon after the
close of the war he removed to this
city, arriving here about the year 1917.
He actively and prominently engnged
in business in this city for a long time,
and subsequently removed to Ypsilanti,
where he died few years since.
Commodore McKinstry was appoint
ed to the navy from this state February
l, 1926, and during that time and the
subsequent year served in the navy
yard at Boston. In 1829-3O he served
on the sloop Warren in the Mediter:
ranean squadron. He was promoted
to Passed Midshipman in 1892, and
was stationed at the New York Navy
Yard until 1884. He was commissioned
rs Lieutenant, February 9. 1887, and
served that year on the sloop Concord,
in the West India squadron. In 1910
he served on the schooner Dolphin, in
the Brazil squadron; in 1843, sloop
Falmouth, in the home squadron; in
1845 6, steamer Michigan, on the lakes;
in 1847, sloop st. Mary, in the Pacific
squadron 1850 rendezvoused at Bos-
ton. In 1856 he commanded the
mail steamer Georgia running between
New York and Panama.
He was commissioned Commander
September IA, 1853, and at the break
ing out of the war in 1861, he was sent
overland to China to take command of
the United States squadron then in
nese waters. This was q delicate and
responsible intrust imposed upon him,
and his MISSION required secrecy and
the utmost dispatch, as the loyalty of
many officers of the navy, like many in
the army, was of doubtful character,
to say the least. He perfor med his duty
to the satisfaction of the Government,
and soon brought home the feet.
He was then put in command of
the steam sloop Dakotah, Of the block
aiding squadron. In July, 1862, he
was commissioned Captain, and was
placed in command of the steam sloop
Monongahela, in the Western Gulf
blockadipg squadron. Here he saw
active and laborious service, and bore
himself gallantly in many hard fought
battles. He was present in the en-
gagements before Vicksburg and al
Port Hudson in 1868. In the latter en-.
gagement he was seriously wounded, and
incapacitated for further active service
during the war. In 1866 he was placed in
command of the receiving ship at New
York. He was commissioned Commo-
dore July 25, 1866, and placed in COM
mand of the naval station at Sackett's
Harbor. He was subsequently trans
ferred to this city a. Lighthouse In
spector. In 1871, after As years. active
service, he was placed on the retired
list, and since that time he has lived
quietly at his home in this city, sur
rounded by many warm friends. He
was brave and gallant officer, and
deserved we'll Of his country. He Leaves
u widow but no children.
