Playing Frank Ford and Jesse
James.
New York Sun, Feb. %. !


Little Dick Miller, IA twelve-year-old
Jersey City boy, has been a regular
and enthusiastic reader of dime novels,
and recently procured secondhand
history of the life and achievements of
jesse James. This work produced a
greater effect upon his mind than any
other he had ever read. On Wednes-
day he stole 50 from his mother and
purchased three revolvers and a box
of cartridges. These he concealed I'M
til later, when, after loading his weap-
ons, he stuck them in the waistband of
his trousers and started forth in search
of adventure. The first person he met
was little playmate named Joseph
Eckhotf, whom he invited to take part
in new game. called "James Boys
Miller explained to Eckhoff that he
would he expected to persOnate Jesse
James, while he (Miller) himself as
sumed the part of Frank Ford. "All
YOU will have to do" said Miller, Twill
he to jump around as if you were going
to tackle me-" The unique sport was
scarcely begun before it was brought
to an abrupt termination. As .Eckhotf
was prancing about the sidewalk in a
frantic manner as if preparatory to a
furious onslaught upon his enemy,
Miller drew one of his pistols and took
deliberate aim at him. Jesse James,
he cried, ''you are IA dead man" With
these words he fired, and Eckhotf fell
with "A scream to the ground. The
neighbors ran from their houses and
gathered around the PROSTATE boy. 1t
was found that the bullet entered the
calf of his left leg and was embedded
in the flesh. His mother told the
justice that her son had no complaint
to make against Miller, as she believed
the shooting to have been accidental ;
but the police arrested Richard on a
charge of carrying concealed weapons,
and discharging pistol in the street.

The origin Of the fire II yet enveloped in

does not hesitate to say that inceudiarism
Is the cause. The losses summed up are !:

The kimball House was built by II.
|. kimbaIl In 1870. The structure was
designed by Mr.. Griffith Thomas, an archi-
tect OF New York city, now dead. Messrs.
Parkins and Allen were the resident archi-
tects. The building contained 300 rooms,
and last night sheltered 250 guests and 100
servants. The ground for the foundation
was broken March IS, 1870, and its doors
were thrown open TO the public on Octo-
Der 18th OF the same year. II will thus be
seen that it was completed in a little over
six months. No building Of this size has
ever been so quickly constructed in the
South.

DUBUQUE, Iowa, August 13.-Mrs. \. b.
Allison. wife Of Senator Allison, drowned
herself in the Mississippi river some time
during last night. She left home yesterday
evening after | O'Clock. telling her servant
she was going TO one OF her near neigh

her gossamer under her arm, she went in
an opposite direction, toward the country
where she had been accustomed to take
daily walks. 1t is ascertaned that she
wandered around in the outskirts OF the
city during the afternoon, where she was
seen by several persons walking rapidly
and apparently somewhat excited. This
morning her body was discovered shortly
after O'Clock in the river about mile be-
low the city. She had cut up her gosSa-
mer, placed some stones in it, and them
about her neck, and walked deliberately
into the river about 50 feet from the bank,
laid down, and drowned herself where the
water was only p feet deep. Mrs. Allison
was OF a highly nervous temperament and
during the past two or three years has SUI

disease. While at water-cure establish
