efforts to stop the flow Of blood had been
made, and OF last accounts the child was
getting along all right The dog was not
provoked to the attack, and should be eX-
terminated.
The body of the missing girl, Zoe Wat
kins, was found floating in the river Mt
Carondelet Tuesday morning. Evidence
showed that the body could not have been
in the water more than eight or nine days
leaving two or three days still unaccounted
for. The Coroner's inquest was conducted
without jury, on the theory of clear
case of suicide, and verdict so rendered,
although all the evidence pointed to foul
play. DR.. Ludwig made the post mortem
examination, and afterward stated the
belief that the girl had heen choked to
death and the body thrown into the river.
This is undoubtedly the case, and the find
ing of her body will by no means end the
matter
| Monday afternoon as the Illinois Cen
trail train was passing out of Harrisburg,
one of o drunken trio who had been dis
orderly on the train and ordered to be
quiet by Conductor Sullivan, picked up
suck of wood and threw il at the platform
OF one of the cars, which was crowded with
people. The wood came in dangerous
proximity to the persons Of several OF the
men on the platform and might have done
some of them serious injury. Such an of
Tense is severely punishable and very prop
erly 80, for it has been not infrequent that
missels thrown at n train in motion came
in contact with passengers with serious
effect. Railroad companies owe 1t to them
selves and to the public TO have persons
guilty of such acts of violence adequently
punished.
George o. Farris and VIM. Mcdonald
were arrested by Officers Martin and Ma
hsnny yesterday, for burglarizings small
frame building situated near the corner of
Thirteenth street and Commercial avenue,
and taking therefrom nickle-plated car
penters brace, valued at two and half
dollars, belonging to Mr.. G. c. Jamson
and selling it to Mr.. Peter Gadboise for
one dollar. The house belongs to Farris'
wife; Mr.. Jamison is at work in it making
extensive repairs; when lie left for dinner
on Tuesday, Mr.. Jamson left his tools in
the house and locked all the doors; when
he returned the brace was gone. During
the forenoon Farris met Mcdonald, who
was drunk, and said to him That he (Farris)
thought he could raise some money for
whisky by selling some of his tools, and
asked Mcdonald to go with him
to get the tools, Both wenti Farris
gained entrance 10 the building,
got the brace and told Mcdonald to sell it,
which the latter did for one dollar to Mr..
GadbOse who paid forty-fve cents cash
down and owes, or rather saved the bal |
ance. These are the facts as developed in |
the trial, and as it was clearly shown that
Mcdonald did nothing wrong be was dis
charged Farris was held to bail in the
sum of two hundred dollars, in default Of
which he went to the county Jail, Farris
is also known to have stolen some lumber
from the city lumber yard, to be used in
| the repairs upon the house mentioned, but
his wife refused to allow 1t to be used.
Five pieces Of the city's lumber, each six
teen feet long by two inches thick, were
still lying in front Of the house yesterday,
but will be taken possession of by the au-
thorities to-day. Farris has figured often
and Odiously in our police courts; he is an
undesirable citizen; he should, and prob.
ably will be "Sent up" for several years.

tense novel, full OF colossal power and
teeming with surprising incidents OF the

is study of the home life of the middle
classes of Paris, and exhibits the same
terrible and unhinchlng analysis of vice as
marked its predecessors in "L'Assommolr"
and "Nana." The various families re-
siding in stylish manner are the person

irreproachable by the world, but lola tears
| off their crust of responsibility and shows
them as they are, exposing their schemes,
their vices, and the complications in which
their wrong-doing involves them. Excite
ment follows excitement in the pages of
"Pot-Bouille,' the romance being an un-
broken chain of fascination from beginning
to end. The characters are drawn with a
master hand, Zola having been particularly
successful in sketching the Josserands, the
Vabres, the Pichons, and that misery
drunkard, Baohelard. The portrait of
