A MOTHERS REVENGE.

Nos. Yo,.ny's Discrimination to Avenge
the Murder Of Her Daughter.
Chicago Times.
A reporter called to see Mrs. Yourg on
yesterday afternoon and found her much
better than on the day before. She had
entirely recovered consciousness, and,
though very weak, was able to talk a little.
The following conversation took place:
Gone would think, Mrs. Young, from
your attempt on last Sunday, that you had
formed resolution to put Stevens to death
yourself if the jury did not do it. Is this
correct?"

"When did you make up your mind to do
this?''
sWhen Mamie died. When saw my
poor child suffering day after day, and finally
giving up her life, I declared that Stevens
should give his life for hers, and that if the
law did not take it should.'
ssThe revolver which you used was in evi-
dence during the trial, was it not?"
stYes."
"And it was empty at that time, Of
course?"

''Then you must have loaded it expressly
for the purpose of killing Stevens?"

purpose

have it with you?''
"During the latter day or two only.''

upon Mamie by the witnesses and by Trude.

to say that he loved herr"

which you took from Stevens, was it not?"
eyes,
"When was it taken away?"
"It was little before the time he was ar
rested and sent to the bridewell. It was in
April, just about a year ago. We were iv.
ing at the corner OF Jackson and Morgan
streets. Stevens came home one night, with
the revolver. He had never had one before
and had purchased it by selling some clothes
from the house. Shortly after he came in
he showed it to Lille and said she would see
some hell before the night was over. He
told me, too, that he would shoot Mamie

door, which was open. Mamie was sitting
on the edge of the bed, and Stevens was
standing in front with the revolver cooked
and pointed at her. rushed in and snatched
the revolver, and pushed him over on the
bed. Soon after that drove him out of the
house, and he hung around for sew
eral days, following Mamie wherever she
went, and terrifying her so that could do
scarcely anything with her. One night We
went out calling on Fulton street, and as We
were coming away, and reached the corner
of cross street, Mamie saw Stevens crouch
down in the shadow on the corner diagonal
ly opposite. She was frightened, and wen
back to the house where we had been, ant
soon she came out and went for police

CITY COuncil-Ian1Ort01et BaGilding.
All adjourned meeting of the council was
held Tuesday evening to perfect arrange
ments for building a city lookup, council
rooms and municipal court on the city lots
on the corner of Myrtle and Fourth streets.
A desultory debate ensued as to the prac-
ticability of erecting the building, the man
ner in which the requisite funds could be
raised, and the general plan of the building.
The cost of the building proposed would,
according to Messrs. May and Seymour,
reach $4,000.
The financial committee thought that by
curtailing street expenses the money necss-
sary for building could be used without any
inconvenience.
Mr.. Seymour drew a rough plan of the
building proposed, which gave general salts
faction. The building is to be 27x64 feet, and
two stories in height. The first floor will
contain police room, eight cells and a vault.
The cells, 4115x612 each, will be arranged in
the middle of the room with corridor five
feet in width extending around them. The
upper floor will contain the co7ncil rooms,
etc.
On motion Mr.. Seymour was authorized
to procure plans and specifications as soon
as possible, so as to receive bids for the con-
struction of the building.
The street commissioner was ordered to
plow Fourth street, from the cemetery gate
to Hancock street, and lay two plank side.

The Short Line-Justice to City Engineer
Sewall.
The GLOBE, Wednesday, contained the let
ter of Mr.. Sewall to the mayor, giving his
views as to the way the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway should cross Fort street.
He said sin view of the number of streets to
be crossed, and probably for economy also, it
would be necessary to build the railroad upon
a trestle work from sixteen to thirty six feet
high, across the plateau, distance of about
5000 feet"
This elected good many remarks, and
many clever citizens were betrayed into out
bursts of laughter at the idea of hanging a
great ponderous railway up in mid-air in this
western country, where land is so cheap.
Only "about 5000 feet" mile or two for
the first one. Now, ninety-nine of every
hundred men who laughed at Mr.. Sewall,
knew not what they we're laughing at, any
more than they knew what Mr.. Sewall meant
when in the same letter he said: "The line
in question is not adapted to crossing Fort
street by bridge either over or under the
street!''
Now, MIR. Sewall don't mean that the rail-
way company would build any common,
coarse looking trestls work concern that
would be perpetual eye-sore to all upper
town, and down town too. None of your
old rusty, oil and tar-bedaubed,
crooked, decayed, tumble down
looking affairs that would hang out there as
Extensively as dirty linen on line. He don'i
mean railroad that would lard the earth with
its oleagenous drippings and its offshoots Of
old waddings, to say nothing of ten thousand
other daily ofshoots from forty passenger
trains and stock trains trickling down the
trestle.work on to that already rich Mime
sofa soil to make all upper town feel thai
through Mr.. Sewall they had secured in theil
air line thing of beauty and joy forever
a perfect nosegay.
No, Mr.. Sewall meant railway on which
no nasty old freight or stock cars should run
| in daylight. He meant real nice little rail
way with all the trestle-work timbers iron
and cars wrapped in gold leaf, that woule
simmer in the sun light, sparkle by sta1
light, and, "probably for economy" save gas
light, and ''probably for economy" save ex.
pense of depot at Fort street, by letting
the passengers light out in balloons. That's
the sort of railway Mr.. Sewall meant, and il
justice to his good common sense the GLog1
has ventured to say so; and to say further
if Mr.. Sewan should be mistaken, he is tn,
last man to obstinately persist in the wrong

VANDERBILT VS.. GOULD.

The Former Has Obtained Control of the
Chicago d Northwestern Railroad--F,s-
tMre Prospects.
lChicago Tribune.
1t is now positively asserted that Mr.. w.
II. Vanderbilt has succeeded in getting con-
troll of the Chicago & Northwestern railroad,
aud that at the election next June he will
elect four directors in place of the four
Gould men now in the directory. The other
directors are said to be friendly to Wander
bilt, and will be allowed to remain. A still
more startling rumor is that he also stands
good show of getting control of the Chica-
go & Alton road. If these rumors be true,
and it really looks as if they were, it proves
that the Tribune was correct when it stated
the other day that the purchase of the Wa
bash by Gould indicated war between Mr..
Gould and Mr.. Vanderbilt. The purchase
of the Wabash by Mr.. Gould not only took
away from Mr.. Vanderbilt a valuable feeder
of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad and left him without q Southwestern
outlet, but the contemplated extension of
| the Wabash to Detroit, to connect with the
Great Western and Grand Trunk railways,
was to damage his Northwestern business
still more seriously. By getting control of
the Northwestern and Chicago & Alton rail-
| roads, Vanderbilt checkmates Mr.. Gould and
secures connections that will enable him to
give Gould all the fight he wants, both on
the Southwestern and Northweste ern bust
ness. Chicago will have every cause to be
satisfied if Vanderbilt has taken the action
above indicated. Gould's scheme was to di.
vert the business from Chicago, and force it
via Toledo, st. Louis, and Hannibal to the
Southwest, and by the Great Western, Detroit
& Milwaukee, and Milwaukee & St. Paul tc
the Northwest. Vanderbilt, by his new move
will have to take everything both to the
Southwest and the Northwest via Chicago
having all his connections to those POINTS at
this place, and it will be his interest to fgh
for Chicago and retain its supremacy over it,
Western rivals.

sci Shell Canyon Capture-Private Baa-
der's Murderors Overhauled and Cap
tured.
Department headquarters was in receipt
yesterday of Lieut. Samuel H. Loder's Off
cial report of his encounter with hostile
Indians on the 18th inst. near Mussel Shell
canyon. The report did not differ mate
rally from what the GLOBE stated at the time
the telegraph information Of the affair was
received by Gen. Terry.
A Gallant Fight.
The report is dated on the battle field,
and says the Indians were encountered in
the canyon in the direction of the Judith
Basin, near Careless creek. When discov
cred or surprised the Indians attempted to
make for the bad lands and attempted to
get on bluff there. They were driven from
the bluff and retreated to large butte in
the neighborhood, taking position
in coolie about 400 yards
from the butte. The troops
took position on the butte and tried to dis
lodge the enemy, but without avail. The
Indians were then surrounded, and after a
desperate fight of an hour and half all were
killed-eight Sioux warriors. The Indiaus
were on foot, in light marching order, pro-
vided with lariats, and the lieutenant pre-
sumes they were undoubtedly a party from
Sitting Bulls camp on horse stealing expe-
dition. When the Indians were discovered
they were engaged in killing cattle.
The lieutenant reports one Gros Ventre of
his command killed, and one wounded. He
speaks in commentator of the courage dis.
played by his allies, the Gros Ventres, who
fought courageously, and went into the fight
stripped to the waist. The lieutenant, how.
ever, doesn't give much credit to their mark
manship, but thinks all the effective shoot
! ing was done by the soldiers.
| OF his fourteen soldiers Lieut.. Lodel
speaks very highly for their energy and cour
age. He makes special mention of Sergean
Allen Cecil Co. K. 3rd infantry, and Private
VIM. Evans, Co. D. and Arthur L. Haight
Co. E. 7th infantry. The lieutenant say
the hostiles died without giving sign, thei
surrender was demanded, and they mad
no reply preferring death to captivity.

exhausted from their prolonged marc
