fell drop,.ing the shoes. All three tor a
time made their escape. Subsequently,
two of them were arrested on suspicion at
the North Missouri depot, they being
about to leave the city. They we're tor
warded to the -Four Courts next day, and
Detective Huthsing thought he recognized
iD one OF them an escaped convict from the
California penitentlary. lie telegraphed
to San Joaquin, where the California peni-
Tertiary is located. and last night telegram
was received annnu cling that the suspicious

the man name is Bill Clifton, alais Bill
Gaines, alias "Alkali Jim" He is a ma

nected here. In the spring OF 1874 he at
tackled stage coach coming down the

other $4,000 despite the presence OF SIX

The result was that last spring Clifton,

from the penitentiary. More was one OF

At the end of the fortnight he goes to

Unhappily you do not sustain your rep

acts the play would be an immense sue

The author takes his manuscript and
goes home disconsolate "1on must

"whv, he never read the play. Just
change the title and send it back to
him and see what he'll say.

A Singular Death.

Ada Walther, the daughter of wealthy German parents, living in Brooklyn, N. Y., died suddenly. The physicians were puzzled, and cannot fix upon the exact cause of her death. Ada was twelve years old, in apparent good health, though occasionally troubled with rheu- matism. She was seized with violent pains about the body, and in five hours was apparently dead. The body was put on ice, and the undertaken was called in. The next morning the parents of the child were amazed by the un- usual appearance of the body, the fea- lures being exactly lifelike Although it was evident that sensibility and con- sciousness had left the body, it still re- tained it's color, and the customary rigidity after dissolution was not observ- able. The parents concluded that the child was not dead, but sleeping. A long consultation was held, and the body was carefully examined, but the physicians decided that all life had de- parted. The funeral ceremonies were arranged, when 8 large number of friends of the family were present. The body looked lifelike, as it lay in the casket, and the cheeks still retained their color. An old friend of the family, at loss, determined to make one other test. He accordingly consulted other doctors, and in their presence opened a vein iu the child's arm, when, to their amazement, blood flowed freely. They thought there was possibility that the child might be in a trance, and it was at once decided to postpone the funeral. The body was taken out of the casket and put into the bed, and in the evening electricity was tried and other expert, ments made. Mrs. Walther, the mother of the child, when very young was sud- denly taken i'll in a similar way, and to all appearance died. The body was kept for tbree days, according to the custom in Germany, and a few hours before the hour of interment the child turned over in the coffin and afterwards arose as from quiet slumber. The Brooklyn child was placed in the receiv- ing vault in the cemetery.
