possession at Reading, Pa. She averred
that although she had requested Pat.
rick Qdiun, executor Of the estate, TO
make the weekly payments OF $40,
he had refused and neglected to do 80.
She therefore asked that he be ordered
pay to the allowances, dating back to
the LIST of February. Action upon the
petition was deferred.

River.
Philadelphia Record.
The feat Of raising a huge freight
engine from the mud In Rush river, on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore railroad, below Havre.de.
Grace, was su cessfully.. &C complished
yesterday. The engine fell through
the draw. bridge some time ago. The
difficulties Of the feat may be imagined
when 1t Is understood that the engine
was several feet below the water
surface and completely imbedded In
the mnd. The wrecksrs have been at
work a week, the first thing accom-.
plished being the placing Of heavy
chains beneath the great mass Ct iron.
Two divers GENT down for this purpose
were compelled to dig several feet
under the soft mud at the bottom OF
the river. The chains were made
taut to four heavy scows, which were
filled with water at low tide. Every
thing being satisfactory, the water
WAS pumped out of the scows,
thus lightning the chains about
the engine. When the tide
began 10 rise the engine WAS
pulled a few feet from the mud. Then
other &c , NJ were brought, and when
the tide was again low water was
pumped In and the chains fastened to
them. The tide won't up again, and
so did the engine, which came to the
surface. After this had bsen repeated
q number of times the engine was
swinging clear of the water, and was
then placed on q large 'aoa',
only slightly damaged, and want
ing but few repairs to make 1t as good
as before it's tumble into the river.
The railroad will now take charge Of
Its fshed. up property and tow 1t tc
the river bank, near the railroad
track. To that point, when the tide
Is high, q temporary track will be
built connecting with the railroad,
and when the tide has fallen sufi'
GENTLY to place the wheels of the en-
CINE on q level with the temporary
structure the engine will be then rue
on the wharf and to the main track
It will be taken to Wilmington ant
repaired. 1t cost $1,000 to fish th'
engine out.

To the Editor OF The Bee:
SIR:-In the DAILY BEE of the Goth
inst. there is a report of the meeting
of the Nationei Land League of Amer
ioa at Philadelphia, In which Father
Walsh, treasurer, Is reported as saying
"Widow Walsh, the Irish mother,
one of whose sons had been hanged
and the other sentenced to penal SER
vitude for life. He said every Irish
man believed these boys guiltless, and

lie took counsel from Parnell about
the matter and remitted for her benefit
1876.
If the above Is o fair sample Of the
Views and teachings Of Father Walsh,
Parnell and the members of the
league, I wish to know how the same
rule Of law and morals would apply
here2 For instance, If I should know
who had committed . murder OF other
crime and innocent parties should be
arrested, although not my own chill
dren, would 1t be my duty legally and
morally to inform the proper officers,
and should I not be an accessory If
failed to give such information
Please answer In DAILY BEE and
oblige. A SUBSCRIBER.
"a Subscriber" who lacks the nerve
to sign his name to such an inquiry
cannot be possessed of high mora
courage. Instead Of commanding the
editor to express his views As to the
legal and moral aspect of the relations
Of the land league to the British gov
eminent he should have addressed
himself to Father Walsh and Mr.
Parnell. They Gan tell much better
than anybody else what their rea
views and teachings are concerning
the duty of individuals to become In
formers. 1t Is not likely that Mrs
Walsh would have remained dumb l
she had been sure that an expression
of her personal belief in tn,
Innocence of her sons would havl
cleared them. Certainly her testi
mony In their behalf would have beer
regarded as partial, and unless sh'
could have furnished absolute proof o
the guilt of other parties she woulc
have made a miserable failure.

howard AND THE APACHE7.

There Is q disposition In some quar-.
ters TO belittle General Howard, tHo'
present commander Of the DO
partment of the Platte, by rep.
resenting him as q soldier who
never fights and q commander VIII
always blunders. The editor OF a
Csuncil Bluffs daily, who never came
within q thousand miles Of . battle
field, sneeringly intimstes that General
Howard is q better tslksr than fighter.
An Arizona correspondent Of the s..
Paul Pioneer Press, has discovered
that General Howard Is responsible
for the present trouble with the
Apaches, becausing he Numbered into
signing a treaty twelve years ago with
the C~hirachaua Apaohes at the mo-
ment when General Crook was about
to administer severe punishment to
these Indians.
Suoh reckless Misrepresentation can
only be born Of ignorance or inspired
by malice. General Towards war
record is a matter Of history. His
patriotic ~gallantry In the face Of dan
ger was attested on many battle fields,
but nowhere more conspicuously than
at Gettysburg, where he commanded
an army corps. As n Of the five
generals whose meritorious services
received public recognition from the
nation through q vote Of thanks by
congress, General Howard occupies a
front rank among the heroes that
saved the union. His conduct az an
army officer since the close of the war
cannot justly be sssailed.
The treaty he concluded with the
Apaobes In 1871 may have been un.
timely, but II any blunder was COM.
mitted It cannot be laid at General
Towards door. General Howard
went to Arizona In 1871 by direction
of General Grant and under instruc-
lions to conclude a treaty II possible.
The scheme for this treaty originated
with the secretary of the interior, and
upon him and President Grant the
blame must rest If there be any. As
a matter of fact tho treaty made with
Cochise was faithfully adhered
to by that chief during
his life time, but 1t was
ignored and violated by the govern.
ment, and the Apaches have long
since treated II as q dead letter.
The recent outbreak can therefore
hardly be regarded as a direos or even
remote result of General Towards
mission to Arizona In 1871. The
bushwhaoking war waged against Gen.
Howard all the way from Arizona is
in many reSpects as dishonorable as 1t
Is contemplate. To an impartial OBJ
server 1t appears like an effort on the
part of certain army officers to write
one commander down In order that
they may write another up. This Is
mighty mean business for any one to
be engaged In.
1t Is none the moro honora-
BILE because its authors wear shout.
der straps. As q public man, of
courss, General Howard Is open to

ought TO receive 1t. But stabbiug a

primary and convention; In other
words to open the district clubs to all
republicans, making the only qualif.
cation for membership that Of having
voted for the last republican candidate
for president.
This Is q simple plan, but 1t will not
work. Purifying the primaries Is q
step towards party harmony, but 1t is
next to impossible to purify them.
A large number of voters will not
