sad scene At 3 statlon House,


Yesterday as the jail van stood before the
central police station, middle-aged man
and a sweeN faced little girl stood at the
door. She had bundle In her arms, and
tears gathered in her eyes and rolled down
her cheeks as she watched the prisoners
brought out TO go to jail. One by one they
came, sullen, defiant, Indifferent, or even 10
cose as they confronted the stares Of the
crowd. At the end of the line came we'll
dressed, decent. looking woman. The
child ruseed to her and sobbed in her arms,
while motherly tenderness flushed and agi
tated the mothers face. The officers stepped
back, and the mother and her child were
the centre of a sympathizing' group, a little
apart from which the husband stood in
stern silence. The little girl unwrapped
the bundle she carried and took from It q
plain looking shawl. With outstretched
arms she. held 1t towards her
mother and sweetly said, "Mamma,
put it on" The mother took off
the coat she wore, handed 1t to her daughter
and drew the shawl about her. She took
the child's. face between her hands and
kissed 1t. With that she turned away with
out word and passed on to the van, which
she entered with steady step. The eyes Of
the little girl followed her mother, and as
the door of the wagon closed with a graf
ing noise the child burst out anew into
tears. She watched the van until it had
disappeared from sight, then she went down
on her little knees on the stone floor of
the station, carefully folded the coat given
her by her mother and wrapped 1t In paper.
Her father had previously strolled from the
station and the child quietly followed. The
mother WAS charged with maliciously de-
stroying the property of another and behaV-
ing in such disorderly manner as made It
the duty of the magistrate to commit her to

CHASTITY EYIDENCE.'
The Head of Anderson, the Murdered
Convict, Produced In Court.

The Head of Anderson, the Murdered
Convict, Produced In Court.
JOLIET, ILL, Oct. 29.-In the case of
Mooney, on trial for the butchery of Ander-
son, fellow convict, the prosecution this
morning called as witnesses Drs. Heise and
Dougal. The defense having tried to throw
a cloud over the testimony that was given
by the medical experts, the remains of the
dead convict were exhumed on Friday night
the head cut from the body and taken to
the Office of DR.. N. B Campbell, where it
was dissected on Saturday.
When court opened this morning q mys-
terious looking box was placed upon table
In front of the jury. 1t had been reported
by witness for the defense that they were
going to prove that the wound described as
having penetrated the ear, knocking out
several of the teeth, was an impossible one,
and could not be made. The box was
opened, and decided sensation occurred in
the court room when the ghastly head of
the murdered convict was exposed to view.
The body had been buried five months,
but the face was well preserved, the skin
being drawn and wrinkled. One side of the
face had been dissected from tine ear to the
lower jaw, showing the course of the knife
through the ear. The side of the jaw was
broken and several teeth were missing. The
knife mnst have been struck with all q
mans strength to pierce the Jaw bone, the
direction of the blow showing 1t to have
been utterly impossible for Anderson to have
done 1t himself.
This completely upsets the theory of sui
eide. The jury all had an opportunity of
inspecting the head before it was removed.
Mooney, the accused, sat within 10 feet of
this terrible deaths head, but never allowed
his eyes to glaI ce in that direction. DIR. j.
f. Oakes was the first witness called for the
defense. He attempted to demonstrate that
the wounds on Anderson's body could have
been self-inficted.

PARIS, October 2S.-hail advlces from
Saigon show that the French forces, in their
encounters In the vicinity Of Hanoi in the
early part of September, met Chinese regu-
lars who were well armed and differed.
After a conflict of three days, during which
the French took some of the enemy's works,
they withdrew, leaving Hal Phong still In
the hands of the enemy. Some of the
troops Of the King OF AMMAN were with the
enemy.
A letter from Saigon TO the France states
that unheard of cruelties were committed
near Hue On the occasion Of its capture by
the French sailors. Admiral Courbet d.
rected, In an official order, that there should
De no quarter given to men, women or chill.
dren. Three hundred Annamites who had
taken refuge in the mouth of the Bay of
Thuan were killed, all of them being shot.
One hundred and fifty more, who were drift
ing In junk without arms or oars, were
also massaeIed.
The Figaro declares that Admiral Cour-
bet, at the instance OF Commissioner Har-
mand, allowed the preparation of such acts
In order TO terrorize the Annamites.
The Temps denies that Ad riral Courbet
gave such orders, but admits that 200 Of
the enemy were slain at Thuau.
The Gdulois says that, in view OF the con-
ha
several french iron -clads have been ordered
to be put In readiness to reinforcs the
Frei.c 50 adron In Chinese waters.
LONDON, Oct. 29.-The Chinese Legation
has furnished the newspapers with copies of
of the entire correspondence that passed be-
tween the Marquis Tseng, the Chinese Am
hassador, and NJ. Chalemel- Lacour, the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, upon the
Tonquin question The correspondence
adds little to that already published, except
that 1t offer arguments In favor of China's
position. 1t denies that the Marquis Tseng
ever assured NJ. Challemel-Laeour that
China would not oppose frances enterprise
in Tonquin, and says that before July last,
VI. Tricon, the then French Ambassador to
China, informed III Hung Chang that either
open or occult assistance of AMMAN by China
would invoke casus belli.
The Paris correspondent OF the Standard
says it is clear that the negotiations between
France and China upon the Tonquin ques-
ton have been broken off for the present
The relations now existing between the TWO
countries can only be described as at dead
lock.

Coal COmpany's Shaft.
PITTsToN, Oct. 29.-An explosion of mine
gas took place In the No. z shaft of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company near here this even
ing, which resulted In the killing of two
brothers and the fatal burning of four
other men. The names of the killed are
James Gallagher, burned to crisp; Thos.
Gallagher, body mangled and terribly
burned. Hugh Devers, James Kelly. Pat
rick Joyce, and James Robinson were the
wounded.
The explosion took place about O'Clock,
at which time there we're % men in the
mines. Two brothers, Thomas and James
Gallagher, had been working abreast to-
gether all day and had just stopped work
and entered an old abandoned chamber to
procure some props. They entered with
naked lights and, large quantity of gas
having accumulated, terrific explosion
followed.
1 THE two Gallaghers were terribly burned
and dashed against the sides of the chamber
with fearful force. Their death was instan-
taneous. The other four men who were In
the gangway were burned In a horrible man.
ner and probably not one will survive. The
noise of the explosion was heard half a mile
from the shaft and In few minutes the
head-housc was surrounded by an excited
crowd.
1t was known that 90 men were below,
and, as the result of the explosion was not
yet known, the widest rumors were circu-
lated. The wives, mothers and daughters
of those in the pit added to the terror of the
scene by their wild cries and wailings. Be-
fore long, howeve, the real extent of the in
juries was known. The unharmed miners
were hoisted to the surface, and, shortly
after, the dead and wounded were brought
up. Both the killed were married men and
had families.

House.
Rice's Surprise Party in "Pop" will ap-
pear at the Opera House here on Thursday
evening next. The Philadelphia Pfess IN
speaking of the troupe while at the Chestnut
street theatre of that city says "the sprightly
banoni has been compelled to repeat her
songs and dances at every performance this
week" This would argue that the troupe
is particularly attractive. Every perform.
ance was greeted with large audiences a
fact that clearly establishes the fat that the
play is good.
Notwithstanding the ipclement weather
an audience numbering about 900 assembled
at the Opera House last night TO witness the
presentation of the ridiculous comedy,
''7-20-S. or Casting a Boomerang" by Au-
gustin Daly's Comedy Company. The play
was particularly amusing and the players,
one and all, were so well drilled In their re-
spective roles that the whole performance
was as satisfactory as could be desired
by the most fastidious audience.
To particularize would be hard In
the face of so many that were good, but the
character of Floss the much sought 1920 8, !"
by Helen Bijou Heron, was remarkably
natural. It is to be hoped that the managers
of the Opera House will make an effort to
bring to this ely numerous C mpanies as
satisfactory as that of last evening.

IRvINa IN NEW YORK.
Hrs More Than Cordial Reception At the
Star Theatre Last Might.


New YORK, Oct. 29.-The beautiful Star
Theatre was densely thronged tonight on
the first appearance Of Mr.. Irving, and never
in the annals Of the stage In this country
has an actor played to an audience of
greater distinction. This cultivated and
critical house rendered the artist a hearty
greeting, and at once gave Mr.. Irving the
assurance Of the goodwill Of his
audience. During the entire play
hushed attention alte.pAted with enthu.
aiastic applause. It 10 known that Mr..
Irving had expressed himself as somewhat
anxious about his reception In America, and
degree Of nervousness was noticeable at
times, but it In no wise detracted from his
splendid delineation of the character Of
Matthias, in the weird play of "The Belle"
After each act Mr.. Irving was called before
the curtain, and with great grace acknowl-
edge the hearty welcome.
WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
The Sun says: "The social welcome ac-
corded to Mr.. Irving since his arrival In
New York has left little that he or his ad
mirers could desire, and 1t has been happily
followed by one of the most brilliant
triumphs that any artist from abroad has
ever won upon our boards. The old Wallack
Theatre, still held in affectionate memory
by the best of our theatre-goers, was crowded
last evening with most distinguished audi
ence. Not as snowy an audience
as our two houses of opera usually
present, nor so aggressive and c.ndid
In the matter Of dress, but cer-
tainly representative of the best cultivation
that our city owns, and In respect of the
beauty 1t contained far SURPRISING any audi
ence that Mr.. Irving ever bowed to in his
life. When Mr.. Irving came upon the stage
he was received with an outburst of feeling
20 warm, spontaneous and demoDstrative in
It's character as to be fairly deafeuing.
People rose their feet and shouted their well
come at him as If they would never re Of
1t, and with no heed to the gestures of depre-
cation with which he signitled his desire to
be Matthias instead of Henry Irving. Fl
nally he silenced them with q resolute move
ment, and ended reception which was per-
haps the most enthusiastic that any stranger
has enjoyed at our hands"
Alluding to the performance, the Sun
says: "No matter what may be thought OF
the singularity of the actors stage person.
ality, of his idiosyncraeies of utterance, OF
gesture and OF movement, the impression of
his mastery of his art, of picturesquaness,
and of the refinement and finish of his per
formance, remains unclouded and undiS-
puted."
The Tribune says: Judgment and taste
differ and will continue to differ In defining
hts talents and estimating his rank. But
upon one point all opinions are agreed,
and all the more agreed since the perform
ance last night-he is thorough actor"
