Il STOLEN CHILD.

A Wright County Farmer Searching For
His Lost Dauehter-SuspiciOn That Some
West st. Paul Gypsies Have the Child.
brown faced, intelligent looking farmer
named John F. Spencer, residing near Albian
in Wright county, arrived in st. Paul yesterday
afternoon and related story quite as pathetic
as the world-fanous abduction of Charley
Ross. Mr.. Spencer is a pleasant conversation
alist, but his every tore is laden with sadness,
| the reason for which may be CLEANED in the
| narrowing hut 0 er true facts of the following
narrative:
In the prime of life and vigor of manly USE
| fulness, MIR. Spencer is a resident farmer of
| the county named, and up to a few months
| since his daily toll was sweetened by the pres
ence of a loving wife and dainty girl babe not
quite three summers old.
The child was the life and Joy of the little
household, and its growing and almost won
drous beauty was daily watched with increas-
ing interest. But a shadow was darkening
over the happy circle and it was soon to be reft
of its choicest treasure, who was to meet fate
more solemn and mysterious than the secrets
of the tomb. One bright day last autumn, the
house for the purpose of doing some work in
an adjoining bean patch. The child asked
leave to accompany it's father, and the twain
left the house together.
Upon reaching the bean patch Mr.. Spencer
commenced his task of picking beans, allowing
the child to play at random in the patch, but
always managing to keep her within ear shot.
Becoming absorbed in his task Mr.. Spencer
lost sight of his little daughter for a few
minutes, and suddenly he failed to detect the
musical prattle of her voice. All was still, and
repeated calls failed to meet with an answer.
Becoming alarmed the father sought for his
child but without avail. He started for the
house tremulous with emotions of vexation
parents returned to the field, where the search
was renewed with vigor, still being unsuc-
cessful.
Search was made throughout the country
which was Joined in by the good people of the
neighborhooi. Almost frenzied with despair
the father advertised in the local paper, since
when he has lavished nearly all his means in
quest of the child. The advertisement de-
| scribed the child as being two years and eight
months old, with blonde hair and dark eyes. A
few days since Mr.. Spencer received letter
hfrom citizen in West St. Paul who had read
the advertisement.
The formers attention was called to the gang
of gypsies who have infested the Sixth ward,
whom the writer said had q child who an
| swered the precise description of the advertise
ment.
MIR. Spencer at once visited st. Paul and ar
irving here yesterday afternoon he accosted
Officer Flaherty, to whom he related his story.
He was taken before Chief Weber. who de-
tailed the officer to accompany him to the Sixth
ward. Owing to the approach of night the
search was not prosecuted to any extent and it
will be resumed this morning. 1t is to be
hoped that the grief stricken father will recov-
or his darling.

A CARD FROM MIR. DONNELLY.
He Erptodcs the Islander Of the Corrupt
RiIL H0ShbNrn.

He EEptOdcs the Islander Of the Corrupt
BHI WashbMrn.
To the Editor of The Washington Post.
Mr.. William d. Washburn, not content with
buying his nomination for Congress in the
Third Congressional district of Minnesota, and
subsequently, as the testimony shows, buying
his election to the House by an expenditure of
$50, 900, has been busily engaged flooding the
elections committee and the House with copies
of Matchmaking st. Paul paper filled with
attacks upon me. 1t is charged that while l
was a member of the Fortieth Congress l was
bribed by the Memphis Il Ell PasO railroad
company. Of Texas, to support bill. in which
they were interested, then pending in Congress.
This charge was long ago refuted and utterly
exploded in Minnesota, but it is thought by
Mr.. Washburn that its revival here at this
juncture may be of some service to him in the
pending contested election case. 1t is q
saw that the treasurer of the
Memphis Il Ell Paso railroad company,
as long ago as February 10, 1875, published a
letter in the Philadelphia Press, of February
IL, 1876, in which he says: 81 am able to state
authoritatively that Mr.. Donnelly never re-
ceived one cent from the company or from any
one for it," There has never been any attempt
| made to disprove or even question this state
ment of the treasurer of the company. 1t
moreover appears that during my term as a
member of the House the said company had no
legislation pending in Congress, except a bill
giving them the right to build their road over
any unsettled lands of the United States, a
| right which they possessed under the general
| statutes of the United States in common with
| all other railroad companies. 1t was however,
| their purpose to ask the next Congress, the
Forty first, of which I was not a member, to
give subsidy of lands or bonds, to them as a
Southern Pacific railroad company; and they
came to me, during the last week of my term
| of service, and offered me stocks OF
| their company and promise
| of fee in money if I would remain in Wash.
ington and act as one of their attorneys. If
proper in the act, as I was a lawyer by educa.
ton and would have been, at the time the SER
vices were to have been rendered, private citi-
zen with perfect right to use my professional
| skill in any honorable manner. however, de-
clined their proposition, and, as the statement
| of the treasurer shows did not receive one cent
| from them. This is all there is in the charge
| made. I was a member of Congress for six
years, during period of great corruption
when many Congressional fortunes were made
| and regulations lost, and even my enemies ad.
nit that came out of public life as poor as
| when entered it.. NV whole career has been
subjected to microscopical investigation by
| this malevolent Washburn family, and the re.
suit of all their researches is that was, at the
end of my term as Congressman, offered stock
and money by q railroad company and declined
both. Very respectfully yours.

pointed instrument producing fracture of the
skull. The manDer in which said wound was
produced is to us unknown. (Signed)

He has not, however, made the people for

Very likely. But when the brigadiers were
