A Grant County Child Fails into One
and is Drowned.

About noon of "Wednesday 4 fatal
accident Of an odd nature occurred
some two miles northwest OF James
town, Wis. William Huss, a farmer
living on or near what is known as
the old "Salley Place." on returning
at noon from the field where he had
been stacking grain, inquired for his
only child, a bright little boy fifteen
old. His wife replied that the
child was playing somewhere in the
yard, but that she had been busy and
had not seen it for an hour or more.
Mr.. Hlss was alarmed, and started
to look for the boy. Passing an open
swill-barrel which was sunk into the
ground, he looked in, thinking that it
might have fallen into the barrel. Not
seeing anything, he reached down
and found the body OF the little one,
cold in death, having probably been
there for some time. The grief Of the
poor parents can be imagined, but
not described.

AT West Liberty on Monday night
Q woman named Miss Lydia Ed wards
forty-three years of age, died from
the effects Of poison administered by
herself. Miss Edwards came from
Ohio, where her parents still reside,
having lived in, West Liberty only
two years, Since her arrival she had
been engaged In the occupation Of
at times living alone, but
most of the time making her home
with some respectable family. AT the
time of her death, and for two months
previous, she was boarding at the
house of George N. Aylesworth.
During all of her residence at West
Liberty nothing had been done to
cast q reflection on her character and
she, was considered a respectable
member of society. On last Monday
evening she seemed more than usual
y, thoughtful, and not inclined to
talk. About nine o'clock Mr.. Nell
son Bowlsby called to see her and
stayed until after ten, nothing un-
Usual in her appearance or speech at
tracted his attention. In the mean
time Mr.. and Mrs. Aylesworth re-
tired for the night, but did not sleep.
They heard Mr.. Bowlsby leave the
house, and ten minutes after grOans
were issuing from Miss Edwards
room. Mrs. Aylesworth got up and
went to Miss E.'s room she was ly-
ing on the sofa and gasping for
breath. She requested Mrs. A. to
FAN her, saying she was sick. but did
not know what the matter was
Aylesworth was called and ran for
help. The sick woman grew rapid-
y worse, her complexion growing
dark and froth issuing from her
mouth. At about III o'clock she
breathed her last.
A post mOrtenl examination of the
body showed that the lady would
have become mother in about one
month. Traces ofpoison were found
in the. stomach, and the verdict of the
jury was that the deceased
came to her death from the effects of
poison, administered by hands un-
known.
The evidence of Bowlsby at the in
luest proved that he had been keep
ing the lady's company for about two
years, and had visited her quite fire.
luently at all times of day and night
That he had promised to marry her
when a divorce could be obtained
from his wife, who was now living
in Missouri Miss Ed
wards, at the time of her death, had
N her possession $i20 Of Bowlsby's

He has tracked to their den, in Chi

PEELED to use q crutch and cane in

years a trusted clerk in the Treasury
Department, and while there became
familiar with the methods whereby
many merchants in Now York were

of millions of custom dues. lie was
finally sent to New York to ferret out
and expose these thieves and directly

one half the net results, which in his
case, on account Of his skill in work
ing them up, directly, amounted to
a very large sum, He was conse-
quently bounded out of the service
by such virtuous sheets as jay Goufd's

Extravagant Living.

New ork Correspondence Ofthc Buffalo Courier.
There is no denying that good
deal of the financial trouble that cul-
inmates in bankruptcy comes from
extravagant living. Sometimes it is
the man himself that payes the way
for the Sheriff, but quite often it is
his family. A case in point as to the
latter occurred not very long ago.
A New Yorker happened to meet,
down town, an old acquaintance
from ncighboring city and dropped
into conversation with him. After
q few casual remarks the New York
er asked about his friends family,
expressing a hope that they were
well.
ooh, Isupposc they are,' said Mr..
j., rather indilferently.
"How is that" asked the New
Yorker; III hope nothing has hap
pened."
"Well, yes, something has happen
ed" replied Mr.. j. "The fact of the
matter is, haven't seen my family
for six months. You know | was
doing pretty good business in l..

them but the best. AS long as

got hard, business fell of, and 1 found
that I was going behind. l did not
want to alarm my family, but hint
ed that little economy was desira-
BILE. But they paid no attention.
The demands for money went on just
the same. Then I told them that
they must economisc; that was abb
solutely unable to support them in
such extravaganza. 1t was no use,
though; II / didn't give them cash
they got credit, and the bills came to
me. 1 stood it ag long as l could, and
then said, IIere, if you won't live
on what can give you out of my
business, take the business ITSELF so
I just made over the whole place to
them and left. They ran it about
six months, and then the Sheriff step
ped in, and I haven't seen any of my
family since. l tried hard to provide
for them, but they would not let me,
and that's the result. 1 can hardly
take care Of myself now, and it is all
on account of the extravaganza al

With characteristic iadecency the

LODGE THE RUSSIANS.
LoNpoN, Aug. 2l.-The daily Ne,cs
correspondent at Russian headquar-
ters explains the mystification which
has arisen concerning the reported
capture of Bainkai Pass by the Turks.
He says ON the 10th inst, column of
Suleiman Pasha's force attempted
strenuously to force the pass. 1t has
been reported they were successful,
but though the column did indeed
force its way into the detile it was
there so roughly handled by Russian
artillery and by q regiment holding
the pass that it was compelled to re-
tire.
The Times Vienna correspondent
remarks relative to the attack on
Shipka Pass that along the main
range Of the Balkans, especially along
the Tundia valley, the face of the
mountains is precipitous rock,
through which the road leads up in
steep curves. However much the
bulk of Suieiman Pasha's force may
have been inhred to mountain war;
fare and however heroic the efforts
made within tihe last few days may
have been, il viii be little short of a
miracle if they should ultimately
succeed in carrying the pass.
