Carried orr by Her Mother.
N2w foRE, November 25.-niaud Mel
vile, the fourteen.year.old daughter OF
Engineer Melville, OF the United States
Navy, who has been in the cure Of female
friend Of the family, in Brooklyn, since the
commitment Of her mother to the insane
asylum at Norristown, Pennsylvania, to.day
was forcibly removed from the woman's
care and from the city. 1t is not known
where she is now. Miss Sarah Cappell,
who had charge Of the child, is the daupL-
ter Of warm personal friend OF Engineer
Melville. Late this afternoon she pre-
sented herself ut the Fourth Pre-
cinct Police Station, at Myrtle and Van
derbilt avenues, in some excitement,
and reported the matter to Captain
Wilmarth, She said that she Ind ALWAYS
watched Maud, carefully, but had endeay-
ored to make her feel that she was under
no restraint. She was sitting in the dining
room talking with Maud when the'froat
door bell rang. Miss Cappell answered the
call. AS she opened the door rough
looking man presented himself and said
that he wanted Maud Melville. Miss Cap
pell, who spoke Of the man rs Maud's un-
Gle, says that she told him that he could
not have her. Then Mrs. Melville, who had
been standing at one side unobseryed,
stepped quickly into the hall and in a
loud voice called distinctly: MAUD!
Maud!" two or three times. The
girl heard and recognized her moth
ers voice, and came running out and
sprang into her arms. "Neyer mind your
things, MY dear, but come right along"
said Mrs. Melville. Miss Cappell says that
she attempted 10 restrain the girl and close
the door, but the uncle held il open. Mrs,
Melville taking her daughter by the hand,
led her to Willoughby street, when the three
got into coach in waiting and were rap-
idly driven oil: Miss Cappel says that she
thinks that the girl has been taken 10
Sharon, pennsy1vania,w where Mrs A1elyiIles

matter, rs the girl was out Of the custody
ofboth parents, and the mother who now
has her, has been declared by the Courts

Bill In HIS Case.
Sr. LOUIS, November 25.-The announce
ment is made that the Grand Jury Of the
Criminal Court will return as ignored the
bill on the John 4. Cockercll case. This
is really the fact, and the action of this
body, which is a most intelli.
gent one, meets with the Endorsement Of
all the thinking people Of St. Louis. Mr..
Cockerell was seen by correspondent to.
night, and was found in by no means
elated condition. He said the action Of the
twelve was not surprise 10 him for they
had summoned all the witnesses be-
lore them and entered into full ex-
animation Of the iacts in the case
mr.. Cockerell seems to regret AS much
as ever the terrible occurrence which
deprived Colonel slayback Of his life, but
he still points to the fact that no sane man
could have acted other than he did. His
attorney, Mr.. J. G. Lodge, was also met,
and no says that he would rather the case
had gone to trial, for then the matter
would be done with. As it is, the case
may be resurrected at any time, and any
grand jury will have the right to
rake up the matter and find an in
dictmcnt it they see lit. But The action Of
the present body will do away with any.
thing OF the kind unless some extraortlin.

that we have TO the article Is that Gilmore was not

II our neighbor had known that the

have insisted upon hanging the unfortunate
man with such lavishness OF head lines.
We fear our esteemed Ohio contemporary
doesn't know enterprise when it sees it.
For example, there was the touching
account OF the operations Of cattle sharpers
who practiced upon the creduiity Of Richie
county farmers to the extent OF $4,000 or
$1,000. This thrilling recital appeared yes
terday as Special to the Register.

the Richie Castle and entitled "A Bold

are not able to say that piece OF news,
however good, is improved by adding
three mortal weeks to its age.
