is fancy horses and stock on his farm,
(which the newspapers made famous,
,he has sold off, much below their value
and in &C me instances below their cost
in order to save the expense Of feeding

this he is able to live comfortably.

Death of Thomas Walter.

Thomas Walter, well-known citizen
of this city, died this morning at his resi-
dence No. 215 West street, after linger-
ing illness, of water around the heart.
Although he was not strictly confined to
the house, being able at times to walk
down town, still his ailments did not al
low him to excite himself. AT the time
of his death he was in the 77th year of
his age. He was born at the old home
stead in Christiana Hundred near Camp
bells shop. In early life he was appren-
ticed to house carpenter, and through
diligence soon became master of the
trade. After he was through his appren-
ticeship he continued to work az an en-
ployee, but soon gave up his situation
and started business for himself Among
the buildings that he erected are those
which consisted of the silk factories in
Brandywine Hundred. He came to this
city about thirty-fve years ago, and for
a time carried on the business of his
trade, but in 1845 he started the saw and
planning mill at the foot of West street.
opposite the Harlan ~ Hollingsworth
Cos works. Here he continued in bust
ness up to about six years ago. Having
amassed comfortable fortune he sold
out to Horace Cause, since which time
he has lived retired from active business
life. He was a member of the Society
OF Friends, and stood very high in the
community. He leaves a wife, son and
daughter His funeral will take place on
Friday afternoon.

A COOL REQUEST.

"A COOL REQUEST.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-After Ander-
son had declined to testify before the
Stanley Matthews committee of the Sen-
ate he applied to Mr.. Allison, the acting
chairman of the committee for his per-
diem and mileage from Philadelphia.
AS Mr.. Anderson has been in Washing

House committee, and as he refused to
open his mouth to the Senate committee
Mr.. Allison thought the request little
cool, aud informed Mr.. Anderson that he
could get no money.
THE HOT SPRINGS COMMISSION.
The omission of the clause relative 10
the Hot Springs of Arkansas from The
sundry civil bill continues to be matter
of much comment. A democratic MEM
ber of the conference committee on the
bill expressed to-day the belief that the
omission was designedly done, aud said
that he thought it would end IN landing
some parties in the pententiary. All the
members of the conference committee,
democrats and republicans, have united
in written request to the President that
he execute tue provisionas it was agreed
to by both houses, and that they will un-
dertake TO protect him. 1t was said by
the members OF The conference committt Q
above alluded to that some OF the old
claimants of the Hot Springs property
had been very active al! this session in
endeavoring to prevent any legislation
in the interests of the government, aud
it was believed that interest had some
thing to do with the singular omission in
the enrolment of the sundry civil bill.

A Tale of Three Cities.
A WILMINGTON FATHER ABDUcTs HIS
BOY FROM THE MOTHER AND TRIES TO
SELL HIM.

WILMINGTON FATHER ABDUCTs HIS
BOY FROM THE MOTHER AND TRIES To
SELL HIM.
MThe attention of the Society to Protect
Children from Cruelty was directed a
few days ago by the secretary of the
Delaware Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty Of Animals to remarkable case
of child abduction. Norris G. Pass, with
his wife and child, Robert Lee Pass, a
graceful, handsome boy, a little over
three years of age, named after the Con-
federate chieftain, resided until lately in
Wilmington, Delaware. The husband
became dissolute and went away from his
home. In February last he stole secretly
by night to Mrs. Pass house and stole her
beautiful boy. The agonized mother,
who realized lntuitively who the abduc-
tor was, enlisted her friends in search for
the child, but unavaihngly.
The discovery of the boy was however
made in curious manner recently in
New York. Secretary Fellows, of the
New York Society to Protect Children
from Cruelty, heard that man had offer
ed to sell for $500 little boy of notable
beauty. He took measures which frus-
trated the attempt of the man who pro-
we'd to be Pass. The secretary secured
possession of the child, and notified Sec
retaty Crew, of the Philadelphia society.
Mrs. Pass, who now resides on Mount
Vernon street, above Twenty-second, in
this city, made affidavit for a writ of ha-
beas corpus to regain custody of the kid
mapped boy, and it will be forwarded to
New York, whereupon the little fellow
will be restored to his mother.

The Reading Sank Swindle.

Capt. E. p. Boas, late cashier of the de-
funct Reading (Pa.) Savings bank, testi-
fed yesterday before the register. The
books showed large credits, ranging from
$500 to $780, 900 in Boas's individual ac-
count. In response to questions as to
where he got such amounts his replies
would be: "There is charge to balance
that credit" or sit was improperly charg-
ed to my account" When the question
was put directly, "Was this your money!"
he would reply, sit was the banks mon
ey." The jumble of items in Boas's ac-
counts are perfect mystery. Among
the bad assets of the bank he stated were
100000 in Berks county railroad bonds,
and $1S3,000 of Texas Pacific railroad

AT the conclusion of the reading of tile
minutes OF the meeting which was held

1elsier,, objected to that part where in
III stated that he had left the room with
out permission Of the chair. He had
asked the chair to retire and the chair
hiid refused, and for him to do SO was q
usurpation of power. The business for
which the meeting had been called for
had peen transacted, and the speaker,
,iau moved to adjourn and after it had
Deen regularly seconded the chair had re-
fused to put the question. He had been
ln the Board longer than the chair, and
no nad never known the presiding Off
Ger OF any legislative body to instruct the
recording secretary what to put in his
minutes; why even the presiding officer
OF the U. y. Senate could not usurp such a
power After an explanation by the chair
IN regard to his action, and remarks by
W oolley, Baird, Heisler, Grimshaw and
