Who is She ?

PoTTsTowN, Pa, April 3.-One day
last week a middle aged woman, calling
herself Sarah l.. b. Walker, arrived at
the Hughes House, Phenixville, and
registered from Bridgeport, Connecticut.
She was poorly and strangely clad, but
from her conversation appeared quite
intelligent On Thursday last she re-
turned to the hotel after tramp through
town, during which she disposed of a
number of stencil plates. This appear
ed to be her occupation. She was suffer
ing severely, and physician being sum-
moned, her disease was found to be con-
gestion Of the lungs. She still contin-
ued to grow worse from that time till
Saturday evening, when, while sitting
on chair, she fell forward with her
face upon bed, and being too weak to
rise she thus expired. Her clothing was
found to be very scanty and filthy, and
her person swarmed with vermin. In
her two thin, ragged skirts were sewed
up nine bank books showing deposits in
various Connecticut banks as well as a
number of certificates of stock in the
same. A document was also found
showing that she had paid off judg-
ment which had been lien on farm
willed her by her mother. These papers
show her to have been worth at least
$4,000 The public authorities of
Bridgeport have been telegraphed to con-
cerning the mysterious woman.

A Will and a fot of Gold.

In the year 1865, just after the break
ing up of the Confederate army, q young
soldier of Joe Shelby's command, ac-
companied by his father, arrived in
Corsicana. The old gentleman had
with him large sum of money in gold.
After providing literally for his son who
was then on his way to Mexico, the old
gentleman, whose name was Bently
Irving, sadly and sorrowfully journey
ed back to his home in Charleston coun-
ty Missouri. The son remained abroad
until a short time since, when, upon the
receipt of letters, and his fathers last
will and testament, together with the
announcement of his death, he returned
home. 1t seems that the old gentle
man had enclosed brief description of
the spot on Richmond Creek where he
had taken the precaution TO hide his
treasures for the benefit of his absent
boy. After mournful visit to the desc
lated homestead in Missouri, the young
man came on here, and soon found the
treasure-a pot of fgold-amounting to
nearly $4,000, exactly in the spot de-
scribed in lis fathers directions Gal
weston NeiUs.

A Married Woman's Note.

An Allegheny county farmer recently
purchased little knowledge of the law,
for which he paid an extravagant rate.
He loaned a married woman fifty dol
lars, taking her promissory note for the
amount. When the note fell due, the
maker refused to lift it. The holder
brought suit, and learned, to his sur
prise and chagrin, that the document
was not worth the paper upon which it
was written, as the woman's husbands
signature was not appended to it. 1t is
risky thing to ask that farmer any
questions concerning the value of a mar
ried woman's personal property. He's
mad.

loo Much Water.

The recent storm had the effect of
flooding the Southwestern portion of
Chicago to an extent equal to about
seven miles square. The water. which
the sewers and drains could not carry off
with sufficient rapidity rose in some
cases to the first stories, driving from
the houses people who are now obliged
to make their way about in boats i'm
provised from floating timbers. The
damage is very great in that section
West of Western avenue and South of
Harrison street, and far out into the
country. The water Monday after
noon receded somewhat, but it will be
several days before it leaves entirely
No lives have been lost so far as heard
from.
The damage inside the city limits is
small compared with that done to farm
ing lands along the Chicago and Alton
Railroad and the Desplanes canal. The
water in the canal, which is six feet
higher than the ordinary level, has
broken through in several places and
flooded the low lands for miles to the
South and East of the railroad.

Political Religion.

The Methodist Conference which con-
vened last week at Lynn, Mass, believe
in having d say on political affairs judg-
ing from the following resolution which
was almost unanimously passed.
Resolved, That we protest most earnest
ly against the action of the new admin
istration in making terms with the chief
of the ku-kluX and instigator of the
Hamburg massacre, M. G. Butler, and
still more earnestly do we protest against
the official recognition by the admins
tration of that arch enemy of the re-
public, who long since ought to have
been hung for treason, Wade Hampton.
of South Carolina, and who now by
threats and intimidation under the very
roof of the White House, as well as on
railroad platforms and in other public
places defies the government and bullies
the President into compliance with his
traitorous and wicked usurpations.

of the engine exploded and the bridge
and cars caught fire and soon the sur
rounding country was illuminated by
the flames from the burning wreck
The engineer was happily rescued by
the train hands before the flames reached
him, but he is certain to die from his
terrible injuries.
The bridge, which was over 100 feet
long, was totally consumed. The en-
gine is dismantled and worthless except
for old iron, and the loss in cars and
freight will stand the company $4,000.

ance of ruin and disaster quite as com

A Strange Railroad Accident.

DANvILLE, Va, April Last night,
about twelve O'Clock, as heavy freight
train was approaching a bridge over Diff
ficult creek, in Halifax county, Va, on
the Richmond and Danville railroad, an
infuriated bull jumped upon the track
and showed fight. The engineer discov-
cred the animal, put on the brakes and
blew the whistle to frighten him off,
The bull, with name and tail erect stood
firm end waited the approach of the
iron horse.
As the train was advancing slowly the
cowcatcher of the engine mounted the
bull just as it was entering the bridge,
throwing the engine Off the track and
precipitating it with great force on the
trestlework, which in an instant gave
way, and the engine, tender and six
freight cars went through with terrific
crash.
By miracle the fireman escaped with
some severe injuries, but Engineer Kid
well was nearly crushed to death, though
he still survives. The brakeman who
was on the roof of the first freight car
also miracnlously escaped by running
back and stepping from the rear of the
back car as 1t toppled over into the
abyss.
In moment after the crash the boiler
