An Embarrassing Possibility.

Philadelphia Special
The committee of three, after placing them
selves in communication with some of the fore
most lawyers in New York, learned that if the
Judgment upon which Mr.. Vanderbilt seized all
Mr.. Grants belongings were satisfied and the
goods removed they could. in all probability, be
once more taken possession of by Wards credit
ers. This therefore compels the friends of the
ex=President to proceed very carefully. The
debts OF Ward are so many and of such large
amount that the committee do not feel prepared
to see General Grants property rescued only to
be again levied upon by some other individual to
whom the estate owes money.
As the case at present stands, it looks as if the
property could be seized again and again until
the judgments that might be got against it by
all Wards creditors were satisfied, OF course,
there is a difference of opinion among the law
yers as to whether this could be DONE and, un-
til it is settled, General Grants home must re.
main in the possession of the deputy sheriff
placed in it by Vanderbilt The fact
that an official of this kind has been
employed to prevent the escape of the
property was only communicated to Mr.. Chlds
yesterday, to his great surprise. An inventory
of the articles has been taken, and posters an
nouncing that the sale would take place at an
early date may at any moment make their APP
peaPance on the dead-walls and fences of New
York city This was an additional incentive to
the three gentlemen to complete their arrange
ments for rescue as quickly as possible.
Gen. Sherman will remain in Philadelphia all
the week, at the house of his son-in-law, Lieut..
Thackara He had many callers to-day, but he
was hardly in the mood for the Interchange of
social eourtesies. Every morning until Satur-
day he and Messrs. Childs and Drexel will come
together and discuss affairs as they develop.
The General was to proceed to Washington to
arouse further interest in ex-President Grants
trouble, but to-day he has almost given up the
idea, and in all probability will not 60 The
hearty reception he got in this city, and the
assurance that Gen. Grants friends need not go
outside of Philadelphia for all the help the vet
eran soldier wants to save his trophies and med
ais led to this determination on the part of Gen.
Sherman Although there has been no formal
subscription here both Mr.. Drexel and Mr..
ment that, Unnecessary, they will between them,
make up the required sum. =

New York's New Aqueduct.

Brooklyn Union.
The new aqueduct with which New York
hopes to supply itself with water is the biggest
thing" that city has yet undertaken. 1t will
cost not less than $25, OOO OOO and is an enter
prize of truly gigantic proportions The calcu-
aton is to provide facilities for delivering $780,
0CA,0c0 gallons of water daily from point some
forty miles away. Practically the new aqueduct
will be enormous tunnel longer than the
combined lengths of the three greatest tunnels
in Europe-the St. Gotthard the Mount Gents
and the Arlberg. The greatest part of it will be
excavated through; solid rock at an average
some places it will be 500 feet below. Instead
of crossing the Harlem river on a bridge, as the
present acqueduct does, it will be cut through
under the river.

Downfall of the Sons of Malta.

1t is perhaps not generally known,
but the dissolution of the Sons of Malta
throughout the United States was the
result of an unfortunate and fatal
accident here. George Harding. an
employee of the wholesale grocery
establishment Of Reynolds, Earl s.
Hatcher. brave and brawny Scotch
man, desired to become a member of
the order, and the order was only too
glad 10 take him in 4 night was
oct apart for his initiation, and as he
was particularly powerful man, the
gathering of the clans was unusual
~ large. The initiation proceeded
amid uproarious fun up to the elevated
railways and plunge into the secthing
waters of the laEe-a wet blanket III
the hands of Il dozen strong men, in
which the aspirant was tossed about
until they became exhausted. Harding
was an intensely earnest man, and
took the initiation to be serious affair,
being told by the Grand Conductor
that from the elevated railway he would
be plunged into the lake, he had con-
tracted his muscles and nerved him
self for the battle with the waves.
When he struck the blanket the shock
was too great for his nerves. He was
taken to his home paralytic. He
lived year, suffering Intensely, and
died in great agony. The order paid
out over $4,000 in his behalf. All that
medical skill could do was done, but
to no purpose. He was noble man,
and bore his sufferings like hero or
martyr, never once complained or
spoke harshly of those who innocentIy
caused it all. His sufferings and death
were the death knell of the Sons OF
Malta, not only in Lafayette bur,

A MOOnShinNr'S Wife.

Sinnie Pippin is 4 yelIow-haired Girl,
all and wiry, about 10 years old, and
weighs about 115 pounds. She runs in
the woods with Faye e Anderson, aud
they live together lore like Indians
than white people. As soon as Fayette
gets hold of any pIU der Sinnie comes
to town and sells : for him, and buys
coffee, cartridges and such things as h
and they start out on another eXpedi-
ton. Once they commit a robbery,
they start off as fast as they can through
the woods, sleeping in the day and
travelling in the night, until they get
into another county or across the Ken
lucky line, but always manage to get a
good way from the robbery before peo-
pie commence to hunt for them.
Anderson's plan is to meet a man
travelling along the road, find out what
he can by talking to him friend-like,
and if he thinks the stranger is worth
robbing, he will take a short cut through
the woods, and be waiting in the bushes
when the stranger passes along the
road. Halt, and throw up your
hands, is the first thing the wayfarer
hears, and before he has time to col
lect his thoughts Anderson has a pistol
muzzle up against his temple, and is
going through him with his left hand
Sinnie, his girl, makes it hard to cap
ture him, because she lies around the
towns in Putnam, Smith and Overton
counties, and gets all the news and
carries it to him. This keeps him posted
and puts him on his guard.
Why don't we capture Sinnie Pippin,
you ask? Well, we have her in Jail,
but, being woman, we couldn't get
anything against her, so we had to turn
her out on the range again, and this
precious pair keep robbing and running
by night, and sleeping in the woods
and mountains by day, and there is no
way of doing anything to stop them
