Sad story OF q New Orleans Famiiy-Only
q Baby Left AMER the Yellow Fever
SeourEe-A Dying Mothers Care foI
Her Child.
New York Herald.
A sad story Of the recent yellow fever
scourge in the South has Just come to light
A few evenings ago q well dressed babe,
about one year old, was left on the door
steps OF a well to do citizen,A Mr.. Newcomb'
OF Providence, who found it there upon
answering u sharp ring OF the door bell
It had u tiny gold ring IN its finger and a
gold necklace with q gold dollar attached
around its neck. BY the side OF the infant
IA girl) was u complete outfit OF richly
trimmed clothes. Aletter was also found,
in which the heartbroken mother who had
left it there stated that she had lost her ia
Their, mother, brother, husband and three
children by yellow fever in New Orleans,
and that she fled to Cairo to'escape the
plague, with her baby; that both were at
tackled with the fever in that place and re-
covered, though the writer felt US though
she was losing her memory, and, no doubt,
would soon be o raving maniac. ltappear-
cd she had known Mr.. Newcomb and his
family, aud in the letter she stated, that
fearing she would lose her identity shehad
made up her mind to give them the babe,
rs she knew they would be good to il. She
urged them not 10 look her up as she was
going to New York on the midnight train,
hthdre to die unknown" She signed her
self Mrs. Josie Hall. Nj. Newcomb was
greatly affected, for he had known the
lady's family, who, he said, stood high in
the South, Mrs. Hall being q beautiful
and accomplished lady. A letter was re-
ceived from her the following day, dated
Providence, she having written 1t before
leaving the city, which simply gave instruc-
tons for the care of her offspring.
II MOTHER DYING.
Two days after the receipt OF this letter
a telegram was received by Mr.. Neweomb
from Boston stating that Mrs. Hall was in
n dying condition Mt y hotel in that city.
He Immediately started for Boston and ar
rived in season to receive the dying wo-
mans instructions. She begged him to be
good to her child and 10 send her body to
New Orleans for interment. She left some
money to pay her funeral expenses and
also some for the care Of the child. The
remains were forwarded to New Orleans.
FLYING FROM THE scouRGE
4 letter received from the latter city
throws some additional light on the sad ut
fair. Mrs. Hall, it appears, while deran-
ged with grief, had fed from the city in her
fathers carriage accompanied by the faith
ful coachman, and went to Cairo, where
the coachman died. After her arrival
there her uncle and aunt also died. She
Immediately left Cairo and fled North. The
babe will bo tenderly cared for, and the
mothers instructions will be faithfully car

to the Hutchinson mill, and had it ground.
Ihe forty bushels made 1890 pounds of
flour, which he sold to his neighbors at 219
cents per pound, or $32, besides the bran
and shorts, which was worth three
or four dollars more. This is simply
outrageous; an outright swindle; and unless
it can be remedied utter ruin awaits the
farming community. The producer will not
realize enough from the sale of his crop to
pay the expense of harvesting it, to say
nothing about interest on his investment,
cost of preparing the ground, seeding, etc.
We are informed by those who understand
the tricks Of the trade, that the testers can
be handled as to reduce the grade from No.
2 to No. every time. Farmers should in
sist on having their grain weighed in the old
fashioned way, on scales that they can know
for themselves are correct, or not sell at all.
In'the first of the above instances, if $2O5O
is divided by 3e bushels it gives profit of 81
cents per bushel more than the ring would paw
In the second case, assuming that Mr. Ander-
son obtained $14 for 40 bushels of wheat, he
realized $35 for it in flour, bran and shorts,
making a net gain of $2l,o so cents per bhshel
over ring prices.-ED. GLOBE.

Railroad Election,

CINCINNATI O., Oct. 10.-The annual meet
ing for the election for directors of fhe Ohio &
Mississippi railroad took place to-day. W. T.
McClintock and G. A. Beecher were reelected,
and Il. T. Cutting, Jr., of New York. was
elected vice Ashley. It was developed that a
majority of the New York stockholders would
act in accord with the Baltimore party, and
representatives of the Colt faction, after a.
thorough review of the situation, coupled with
an investigation of the affairs Of the comprny,
concluded to support the above ticket. The
general sentiment seemed to be that plan for
the reorganization of the company should be
formulated speedily rs possible, and COM
mittee consisting VIM. Wainwright, chairman,
Robert Cutting and Henry NJ. Day,
of York, and W. Scarborough, Of
Cincinnati, were appointed for the purpose, and
directed to report the same to the board as soon
as is practicable. Great opposition was de-
veloped to the Springfield division, which, ever
since its acquisition, has entailed heavy
burden upon the company. There seemed to
be a general disposition to unite upon any plan
for sc; tlement of the question which would
not overweight the company. The opinion is
confidently expressed by the parties interested,
that some plan would be arranged which would
meet the views Of all parties, and tedious and
costly litigation avoided, and the road restored
TO the stockholders within brief period re-
ieved Of all its difficulties.

House--The Wheat Ring and the Farmers.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
MORRIS. Stevens Co., Oct. 1O.-The large hall
in this place was densely crowded this evening
to hear Hon. l. Donnelly. Among the audience
were good many ladies. Many persons were
obliged to go away, and there was not an inch
of standing room in the hall. MIR. Donnellys
excoriation of the wheat ring was grand, and
his remarks were loudly applauded His clear
and convincing arguments on the greenback
question have set many honest Republicans to
thinking, and revolution of feeling is rapidly
taking place in quarters little dreamed of by
we'll read politicians. The enthusiasm
wherever he goes is growing stronger, and iudg-
ing from what and hear he is gaining
friends all over the district. The farmers are
intensely indignant over the manner they are
being robbed. Many come to town with their
wheat and take it back again. ALI point to the
Millers' association at Minneapolis as the cause
of the trouble. How does Washhurn feel over
the ill-gott,n gains he flches from the poor
farmers pockets? Roll on the ball. 1t is gain
ing momentum. The people are coming to the
rescue.

The Postal Commission.

New YORK, Oct. 1O.-The postal committee
to-day discussed the following questions:
First-At the time of the original establish
ment of the postoffice department. as branch
of the government, were its operations intend
ed to include anything beyond the transporta-
ton and delivery of correspondence and the
dissemination of public intelligence? Second
Since that time have any circumstances
arisen which would justify departure from
the principle referred to in the preceding ques-
tion, or to extend the functions of the post
office beyond those limits? Thirds it in
accordance with sound public policy for the
postofice department to assume or to be re-
quired by law to undertake the functions of
common carrier. and to enter into competition
with private individuals or corporations en-
gagged in that vocation?

A few days ago. J. W. Simmons, register
of deeds of Pope county, and candidate
for reelection, made personal assault upon
81. G. Rising, editor of the Glenwood Eagle.
The Eagle makes the following statement:
"While the editor of the Eagle was getting
his mail at the postofice, J. w. Simmons,
register of deeds of this county, anda candi-
date for reelection, sneaked up behind him
and made dastardly assault, knocking the
editor down and pounded and kicked him
until parties interfered. There was not q
word spoken, and we did not know who the
assailant vas until the affair was nearly
through, nor did we have an opportunity
for defense. We understand this assault was
premeditated by those of the ring, who were
in the postofice at the time, to see the affair
through. We are also informed that it was
the intention of the ringsters to SO cripple
the editor physically as to render him unanle
to issue another number Of his paper. II
such was the plan, the assault was nothing
more or less than attempted assassination"
