tho people to settle ali these points, and tint

Mr. Randolph ssid tho Committee had heard
nothing to tho point. Mr. Wright wanted no
State inspection all. He favored It once, but two
years ago it was useless to ask tho Legislature
to allow the Board OF Trade to do the inspection,
owing to the prejudice in the country against tia
Board. He had then opposed tho blending Of
railroads and ware1louse3, but WAS not listened
to. The opinions Of country mcmbors we're now
somewhat modified, and he believed they would
consent to divide the Board and allow the w2re-
house companies to fix grades They should aak
tho Legislature to do that OF to adopt llr.
Wright's proposition.
Mr: Wolcott thought the present system Of
inspection Was against Chicago.

DETERMINED TO co WEST.

On Friday morning Officer slayton and anoth-
er officer, while waiting near the Michigan Central
depot, vera astoniahed at meeting young wcm-
an whose face was familiar. This is not 80 aa-
tonishing as the circumstance that tho young
person was none other than tho Springfield girl
who had come West in male attire, Miss Annie
H. Walker. She Was clothed and apparently in
her right mind. Slaytou, who had arrested he-
at the Gault House on her previous yisit, epoEa
to her, aud asked her vhither she was going.
She said, with her usual good manners, that slo
knew where Rlo was going, 1t he did not. TIA
Chief OF Police was asked yesterday it he knr,
anything about her. He replied that ho did. 10
had just received q letter from her, which reads
as follows:

The reporters mentioned the fac. that Slayton
claimed to have met with a2d spoken to her on
Friday The Chief scarcely understood how tLis
could be, but said he heard ahe had IN unc1e in
Wisconsin. She VAS undoubtedly going to visit
him. It is probable that the letter is spurious.

some romantic details, lie now attracting atten-

years everybody about Troy. New York had
supposed Abraham SchryveT dead. When his

decamped with the proceeds. amounting 20
nearly million dollars, lesyng his wife TO
provide as best she could for four children and
young babe. For months she suffered agonies
of suspense and GRIEF on account of the mys-
ferrous disappearance. Then came the news
that he was in Canada, and later stil the de-
serted wife received a newspaper from Canada
containing an obituary OF 1.-The late Abraham
Schryver,' and thenceforward she and her
children gave him up as dead. She struggled
on and brought them up well, and now when
she is old and her Iuddle-aged children
are married and settled about her. the
story of his wauderings Is revealed 70
them in a most startling and dramatic manner
SchTyver appears to have settled in Port HUI

over him IN his dying moments bat herself. He
