Efficient Detective Work on the j., NJ. & L.
Road.
The last few months the Jacksonville, Madi-
son & Indianapolis management have been
much annoyed by the robbiGg of freight-cars
whom standing on side-traoks along their line,
and some thirty days since General Superin-
tsndent E. W. McKenna employed James Fl.
Nowatt, chief of the National Railway Detect
I've Service, whose headquarters are at Bos-
ton, to ferret out aud apprehenG the perpetra-
tors.
At first he went on the road as brakeman on
W. p McVay's train, and after three days, hnd-
ing no ciew to anything, he managed to get left
by the train and obtain discharge IRON his
conductor, and thereby have opportunity to
lay around the yards and gain a clew there If
possible. With the assistance of City Marshal
Brtnkley he succeeded in finding girl, with
unsavory reputation, who was wearing shoes
which had been stolen from the car. He went
TO Louisville and secured tracer made for the
road by e. Gladstone for the stolen shoes
Thus little by little he gained clews sufficient to
arrest John Ferguson, Hiram Weddel, John
Bradley and Sanford Osborn, all of whom
were taken to Columbus. Ind, for trial, and
when arraigned before the mayor Osborn and
John Bradley pleaded guilty and the others
pleaded not guilty. Those who pleaded guilty
were beund over In the sum of $500 each for
their appearance at the September term Of the
Circuit Court. The preliminary trial of John
Ferguson, Hiram Weddel and Thomas Bradley

Receiver Asked for the Narrow Gauge.

CHICAGO, July 31.-Application has been made
In the United States Circuit Court today for
leave to file petition for receiver for the To-
ledo. Cincinnati &c st. Louis railway. The app-
cation was made by Granville d. Brannon, one

500 miles of the line is mOrtgaged, and the cred
itors threaten to foreelOse. Brannon alleges
that the creditors will realize nothing unless
receiver Is appointed at once. Mr. Dwight,
manager of the road. acknowledged that all the

execution has been levied on. The court re-
served It's decision nil tomorrow morning, but

Jane Lennon.

The recent death of this, the sole sur-
vivor of all the slaves once held in bond
age IN the northern states, has been
announced. She passed away peacefully
In New York at the age of 90 years. Her
lots had fallen in pleasant places. Her
owners had been considerably kind to
her. She experienced but little differ
ence between condition of slavery and
condition of freedom. She was born in
the year 1884, and was older than the
federal constitution. Forty three years
sne was slave. In 1916 she passed from
Mr.. Lemons. her masters, possession to
that OF Mr. Merriek. The latter was
as KIND to her as the former. In 1917
a law was enacted declaring the absolute
emancipation of all slaves in the com
monwealth of New York at the expira
ton OF ten years, on the fourth day of
July, 1927. But this hardly affected
her. She was a contented and appre-
clated domestic whether as bond woman
or freed woman. She maintained q
brlghtsome cheerfulness through life.
UP to her seventy fifth year she took de-
light in such household duties as were
allotted to her, such as cooking and the
care of children. Then signs of feeble
ness appeared and Mr.. Merrick died.
From the death of Mr.. Merrick. which
occurred sbout twenty years ago, sue
never recovered her joyous spirits. Her
geItleness and desire TO be useful re-
malned, but an lneradicab'e melancholy
settled upon her. She Immediately began
to show signs of decline; yet mp to the
age of ninety five she was able, with the
assistance OF cane, to hobble about the
house, and to ride out in pleasant
weather.
The year in which she obtained her
freedom was that in which the United
States government commenced to send
Il eedmen back to Africa. The settle
ment of Liberia had been founded in
1922 by the American colonization sc.
ciety, through the influence manly of
Henry Clay; and government to great
expense in the forwarding of such as
were then enfranchised, and were made
to go to the continent of their forefatl.-
ers. At the same time the slave trade

The Romance of a Pardon.

James McDougall, who was sentenced
to imprisonment in the Auburn, n. T.,
prison for ten years in October, 1877
for burglary in the first degree, has been
pardoned. The governor gives the fol-
lowing excellent reasons for his action
"The wife of the convict left him and
for some time he could not discover her
whereabouts. He learned that she was
living with another man, ostensibly as a
domestic, but, as it now seems to be
conceded, actually in very different re
lation. The husbands repeated requests
that she shouM return to him and restore
his child, which she had taken with her,
and his efforts in that direction were re-
sented by the man with whom she was
living. The crime of which the prisoner
was convicted consisted in his bursting
into the house where his wife had taken
up her abode, in the night, apparently
with the idea of reclaiming her and his
child. He was confronted by tne man
who had alienated his wife and was har
boring her and was shot by him and
nearly killed. AS soon as he had suff :
ciently recovered of his wounds to ap-
pear in court he was convicted of bur-
glary in the first degree and sentenced to
prison for ten years. NEARLY six years of
his term of Imprisonment having expired
had but little difficulty in agreeing with
the Judge who sentenced him and the
attorney who prosecuted the indictment,
that he should be released"

ergy, carried on The abolitionists of
the north had commenced to be active,
and even in Baltimore newspaper was
started called The Genius of III Rersal
Emancipation. It was short lived, how
ever, as might have been expected in
that quarter. In Boston even, at that
date, it would have been dangerous to
establish journal of the kind. The su-
preme court of Massachusetts declared
hundred years ago that the 'equaT'
passage in the declaration of independ-
ence did not apply to slaveholding. This
was about the time of the birth of Jane
Lennon. She has now gone to her re-
ward, gentle and faithful woman
through century of trials that were
most bardensome, and ultimate bless
ings in the world.
