THE WOMAN WHO REALLY SUFFER
4 Mrs.. Aary sOliver Whose Hair Has
Turned Gray Through Identification.
Philadelphia Times!

There is lady in Washington who might
Justly bring suit against both plaintiff and
defendant in the Oiver-Cameron case for con-
equential dam>ges. To the best of nv belief
the only real sufferer from wounded feeling in
the matter is another Mrs. Mary Oliver, who is
utterly innocent of aught save the misfortune
of having the same name as the plaintiff and
having been rightfully appointed from Penn
sylvania to q clerkship in the treasury depart
ment at the instance of Simon Cameron when
Senator. He knew her husband, who was ono
Of the stanch supporters Of the clan Cameron
and advised him to run for Congress. Mr..
Oliver did 50 and was defeated, and lost for
tune and courage to battle with life. He died
not long afterward, and his widow was ap-
pointed, at Senator Cameron's instance, to a
clerkship in the Office of the comptroller of the
currency. which she has for several years filled
with credit to herself, and has earned the
esteem Of all associated with her. The SINH
larity of name with that of Senator Cameron's
pursuer, ~ well u the fact that the other was
also appointed ut his request to clerkship in
the same department., has from the time the
suit began, two years ago, until now wrought
untold wretchedness to the Innocent woman.
Naturally she has been perpetsally COMPOUNDED
with the itigadt. The day after the suit first
commenced newspaper men began insisting on
interviewing her. When che has denied being
the plaintiff she has rarely been believed by
strangers, and she suffers in consequence. Her
hair has actually turned gray since the suit
was instituted IS . result Of the constant
modification to which she Is subjected She

S'ttocated Eighty Feet Under Water-The
Atr-Ltne Gets Caught IN q Hooz; on a

Newport Telegram to New York Herald
The first accident in q submarine dress.
which occurred in these waters, took place off
Point Judith this afternoon. John Waters,
the well known wrecker, went off early this
packet Thomas j. Lynch, which sunk
off that place about two weeks ago, for
the purpose of raising her. His diver, Horace
Manchester, 81 years of age, went down early
in the day, and apparently endeavored to make
all the necessary arrangements to tighten the
wreck Nothing was heard from him for some
time, and the persons on board the wrecking
schooner Young America began to get alarmed.
The air was being pumped and the lifeline
kept in hands which vainly tried to
feel the least pulsation, but none was felt
from the unfortunate man who was eighty-fo
feet below, that being the depth of water
where the craft sank. After he had been down
three-quarters of an hour he gave a signal that
he was all right. In a few minutes he signaled
he wanted more air, and then he sigpalled that
he was having too much. His signals were
faithfully answered by Capt. Waters, who is
known in all wrecking companies between
here and New York as man who understands
his business.
Tie revenue cutter Samuel Dexter hove in
sight, and seeing the flag at half-mast on board
the Young America, bore down to her. She
was Immediately dispatched to this port for a
diver, gear and attendant, which was furnished
by Capt. Ramsay, United States navy yard
commanding at the torpedo station. The diver,
Augustus Feliess, promptly volunteered to go
down in search of the missing
man. He was soon submerged, but
returned after lapse of about
twenty minutes terribly exhausted. He re-
ported that he saw the man suspended about
five feet over the sunken vessel, the air line
having been caught by hook on the boat.
He went down again and succeeded in Olsen
gaging the line. At last the lifeless remains
of the diver were free, and as soon as the sig
nal was given they were hoisted to
the deck of the vessel. The
body was brought here at once by the cutter
and placed in the hands OF an undertaken The
diver, when he came up the second time, was
found to be extremely exhausted. It is be-
lieved that the deceased was engaged in taking
out the ballast when the line suddenly became
entangled.
Capt. Waters ia of the opinion that the man,
who went down with some little mlsgiving, ow-
ing to the depth of water, became frightened at
some slight disarrangement, and died in fit.
The face of the man shows that he died terri

That's NV Bow!

Big blue eyes with roguish twinkle;
Dimples ever running riot;
Busy tongue that's never quiet;
Forehead fair, with ne'er wrinkle;
Clustering hair of sunny hue;

Fun and mischief never stopping;
Teasing now for 'pants and boots,
And truly gun that shoots"
Kisses on my cheek fast dropping
Then away with shout and hop
Till 1cry: "Oh mercy, stop!"

Crazy over horns and drums:
Noise in all things ever winning;

Do you hear fearful noise?;
Do you scent a burning smelly
Do you hear curdling yell
Loud enough for twenty boys?
DO you hear while at your prayers,
Some one tumbling down the stairs?

SO it goes-some pain, some pleasure.

Will it be thus all the while
Joy and grief in equal measure?
Shall Icry, in bitter sorrow,

All, no, no! Mothers eyes look far ahead
And mine see, with tender pride,

WHY HE WAS NOT LYNCHED.
frankfort Special to Louisville Courie
.Inurnal

Frankfort Special to Louisville Courier
Journal
When Tom Buford fred the shot that
took the life of member of the supreme
court of the commonwealth of Kentucky,
and fired the shot because of an official act
of that judicial officer, all Frankfort, to use
the words of distinguished citizen, was
"paralyzed" by the enormity of the deed and
the manner of its accomplishment. To that
mental shock of the public mind and the
prompt act of an officer in hurrying the as
sassin to jail, Tom Buford probably owes
the continuance of a miserable existence.
Had one voice broken the spell by calling
for vengeance, a spontaneous outburst Of
passion would have led to the tearing asunder
of the cold-blooded murderer, and to the
scattering of his carcass as food for dogs.
Happily for the already outraged law, when
the reaction came the criminal was beyond
the reach IF an unorganized fury, and cooler
heads were taking precautions to thwart any
plans of concerted assault. Quick, as
though fire-bells had called them, an excited
shrong of angry people poured into and filed
up st. Clair street. in the neighborhood of
the jail, and while there were but few open
threats made, it required but a casual OBJ
server to read in eyes too hot for tears the
one wish of che people. County Judge
Thompson ordered Sheriff Williams ian old
school-mate and lifelong friend of the MUIR
dered MANI to summon posse for the pro-
lection of the murderer, and when darkness,
1nder whose cover mobs, like over beasts of
prey, usually do their dsvilish work, crept
over the scene and passion became rampant,
Gov. McCreary mingled with the mass. and
with earnest appeals and sober reasoning
sought to dissuade them from their purpose
of indicating the law by lawless means.
There were no noisy demonstrations, the
Governor being accorded respectful atten-
ton and courteous treatment The coolest
heads considered the precautions taken suf-
tcient to prevent any attempt at violence,
but the Governor, in the abundance of his
caution, had instructed the peace officers to
call for the militia if there was any donbt
about the matter, and soon after dark the
call was made, and thirty-6ve members of
the McCreary guards, under the command OF
Capt. Ed. Taylor, we're stationed around the
Jail. This action on the part of the author
tiles elected some unfavorable comment, but
severe storm of wind and rain came up
about o'clock, and the crowd scattered to
collect no more. At no time could the as
semblage properly be termed mob, but the
friction of so many excited minds, if allowed
to continue uninterrupted, would have
worked up frenzy disastrous in the end.
Under the aggravating circumstances attend
ing this most unprovoked and, considering
its deleterious effects upon the interests of
the people of the whole State, most disas-
trous crime in the annals of the American
people, the citizens of Frankfort deserve
much credit for the forbearance and self
control which saved them and this State an
other stain.

ALARM IN LOUISIANA.
Tho Negro Erodsts Frightening the Viii,
People.

People.
New Orleans Times.
The sensation of the day is, of course, the
stampede of the negroes from the cotton re-
gion of the State. The effects of this exo-
dus are already being felt; they are very Sc
rious in their nature, and must be seriously
regarded.
1t is no use for journals in this city to CRY

werel The negroes, like flock of fright
ened sheep, or drove of insane swine, are
making head first for the river, and nothing
but the most determined efforts will prevent
the depopulation of the upper country.
The causes of this fright have already
been described, and when the character of
the negro is considered, these causes appear
sufficiently reasonable. An additional in
centive to action on their part comes from
the favorable reports made of tho prospects
of the negroes who have already left fol
Kansas.
It is well shown that the colored churches
in st. Louis have banded together and are
furnishing the needed assistance. In this
work the local committees are aided by the
anti-slavery society of New York. This 60
ciety has already sent large amount OF
money and supplies of clothing to st. Louis
to be distributed among the negroes who
arrive there.
The result is that the negroes are we'll re-
ceived, clothed and sent on their way re-
ioicine toward Kansas. What is more,
there is lawyer in this city who intends to

that country. =. l. ~@I t'.-
