ST. LOUIS, August ga special
from Taylorsville, ILL.,, says: Emma
Bond was resting quietly at midnight,
out the attending physicians agree
that she has poor chance to reco yer
and her death is expected to occur
within a few days. 1t was thought
once yesterday that she was dead,
respiration having ceased for awhile.
She has been at times unconscious,
and once or twice was found to be
raying. On one of these occasions
her father says she went over her
former statement about the outrage
made to the prosecuting attorney and
detailed every circumstance without
varying in the least from the written
statement. While in this condition
she made some remarks that reflect
very seriously upon one Of the pris-
oners. Mr.. Bond says he has within the
past week obtained some new and val
liable testimony, and is now more
firmly convinced than ever that he has
the right parties. Elliot r. Hobbs
still remains in confinement, though
he has shown conclusively that he was
at Mitchell, seventy-6ve miles away
the night the assault was committed.
Although bonds have been perfected
for the Montgomery brothers and
Clements, they prefer the shelter of
the Jail to freedom. 1t is hardly
probable, however, even if Il 6 RI
dies, that the mob will again at EN- pt

Fannie COman's HerOIsm.
New York Sun.

Fannie Conan, fourteen years of
age, aud her little playmate, Jessie
Renton. eight years old, were standing
near the end Of the boat-house wharf,
at the foot of ll9th street, Harlem
river, on Thursday afternoon. Fannie.
who had her back turned to her com
panion, was suddenly startled by a
cry and a splash. She ran to the end
Of the wharf and saw Jessie struggling
in the water. The tide was high, the
current strong, and the water fifteen
feet deep. Fannie ran back half the
length of the pier and called for help.
She then returned to where her play
mate had fallen off. Jessie was Just
disappearing for the third time. With
out divesting herself of even her
slippers the older girl dived headlong
from the dock. When she appeared
above the water she had the form of
Jessie, who was half conscious, upon
her left arm. With her right she
struck out vigorously for rowboat
twenty feet away. The tide was with
her and she soon reached the boat.
She lifted her playmate into the bow
of the boat, and, taking hold of the
boat line, which was attached to the
pier, she drew the boat toward the
wharf. Jessie's brother carried the
frightened child home. As she dived
from the dock Fannie dropped one of
her slippers, and it was carried con-
siderable distance by the strong cur
rent, but not out Of reach of the ener-
getic little swimmer, who soon recov-
cred it. The younger girl resides at

lie was accompanied by Mrs. Margaret
Beardsley, Of No. Is West Six
teenth street, and another lady,
and they intended to leave the
car at Fourteenth street. They
sat on one side Of the car, and opposite
them was the notorious pickpocket,
Charles Williamson, alias "Aleck, the
Milkman," and two confederates.
Officer Stephenson, of the Ninth pre-
cinct, was on the front platform of the
car. At Thirteenth street Williamson
said it was very hot, took off his coat
and went to the rear platform, followed
by his companions. When Mr.. Wolfe
and the ladies attempted to descend at
Fourteenth street they were hustled by
Williamson and his aids, and Mrs.
Beardsley saw Williamson put his left
arm, on which hung his coat, under
Mr.. Wolffe's chin and with his right
hand take from Mr.. Wolffe's shirt
front a diamond stud worth $3.50.
Mrs. Beardsley called out excitedly:
Mr.. Wolfe, that man is stealing your
stud" At this Williamson and his
confederates sprang from the car
platform and IAN toward Belt Line
car that was going down town. OF.
tieer Stephenson arrested Williamson,
but the other men escaped. William
son was held for trial yesterday by
Justice Ford. He said he lived at
No. l249 Filbert street, Philadelphia.
The stud was not found, but it is sup
posed that Williamson passed it to
one Of his confsderates, Tor whom the
police are now searching.

The Prohibition Cause.
Cincinnati Commercial, 2s.


Several painful circumstances have
just come to light with respect to the
temperance agitation.
The first is that probitlon does not
prohibit, even in Iowa. The clause
in the constitution is worthless with
out legislation, and there are delays
In the Iowa cities there is the usual
amount of drunkenness.
And yesterday there was a riot in
Augusta, Maine, where a seizure Of
liquor addressed to fictitious names
was made by a temperance worker,
and mob took the beer from the
officers, more than half Of sixty-tw
casks OF the foaming beverage having
been regained from the officers of the
law. This is not highly encouraging,
after thirty years Of the Maine law OF
prohibition.
In Ohio we should profit by the ex-
ample Of these States, and keep out of
foolish scrapes. The traffic in ixtox
icants may be and should be taxed
and regulated seven days in the week,
but in attempting to do too much, in
cultivating sentimentalism and avoid.
ing business, nothing is accomplished /;
and the result of the excitement Of
the hour will not be prohibition, but
the continuance Of the evils of the
free trade that is the illustration Of
impracticable fantasies.

CIearinghouse Renort.
Rochester Express.


Theall absorbing topic on the streets
Of Brockfort is that of DIR. Beebee's s
kite. A few weeks ago the Doctor
told the boys of a kite he made in
Madison county. The story was large,
aud those who heard it doubted the
Doctors veracity; but the Doctor, in
order to keep his credit good, told a
couple of young lawyers that he would
make another if they would furnish
the string, to which they agreed. The
kite was made, and the string, which
was coil of three eighths rope nearly
5000 feet in length, was ordered and
came from Rochester. About 5 this
afternoon the rope and kite we're taken
on South avenue, and, to the astonish-
ment of the hundreds Of spectators,
the monster shot into the air like a
balloon. The frame was made of
lumber two inches wide by half an
inch thick, and was covered with
Manila paper. The surface contained
nearly $50 square feet. After the
monster had foated mile high for a
couple Of hours the problem Of getting
it down was next in order, and was
not accomplished until Mr.. Cary
brought a pully and team and hauled
II down.
