A SINNER IN LUCK.
A Philadelphia BOOtblaok Falls Heir to q
Fortune.

Fortune.
Philadelphia Press.
While Mayor Smith was making his
police appointments the frequenters to
the Central Station were much amused
by the frequent applications for a posi-
ton on the force made by Peter AulhOI-
land, a boOtblaCk who made his head
quarters at Fifth and Chestnut. When
his name did not appear among the list
of successful applicants Peter was sadly
disappointed. Nevertheless he went
manfully back to his old occupation.
From being the object at which cease
less fun was pOked, Peter yesterday
changed to q much envied creature of
enormous importance in the eyes of his
fellOW-lahorers with the brush and tip.
/ On Monday Peter did not turn up at the
Central as usual, and there was a general
surmiSe that he must be sick, as, rain or
/ shine, he was always at his post. But
Peter was not sick. He had far more
| important business to attend to than
/ backing boots at five cents a shine.
/ Yesterday morning he put in an appear
ance, but unaccOmpanied by his box.
4 He exhibited no disposition to begin
/ business, and stood around with his
/ hands in his pockets, wearing the lofty
/ air of Vanderbilt.
The day grew warmer, and presently
/ Peter said 10 "Sharkey" and chill, the
/ boOtblack," his old associates, Boys,
/ let's take a drink" Sharkey and Billy
! treated the offer with contempt and de-
rision, feeling sure that Peter did not
! have money enough about him to pur-
/ chase one glass of beer. When, however,
he pulled from his pocket and spread on
the pavement handful after handful of
bank notes, they opened their eyes and
/ mouths in speechleas establishment, and
/ suspected him of having engaged In a
/ bank robbery. Peter, however, Teas-
sured them, and produced the dOcumen ts
to prove 1t. He and his wife had been
left a fortune of at least S22, 900, as he
/ showed by the viii of his mOther-in-law,
/ which he drew carefully and with great
reverence from an inside pocket of his
Itattered coat.
/ AIulholIand, who halls from Chicago,
/ where he won various gold medals as the
fastest skinner" IN the city, was married
/ about four years ago to the daughter OF
Mrs. Margaret Fitzgerald and has been
/ living with his wife and three children
in the second story back room of the
tenement at 232 North Front street.
II Several days ago Mrs. Fitzgerald died IN
st. Joseph's Hospital, leaving a will
which Peter learned Of on Monday. By
the aid Of some friends he secured the
document and was OveTjOyed to discover
that all of the old lady's property, con
sistipg of three houses valued at over
S20,0OO, and 81 800 IN cash, had been left
to MS wife. So Peter Mulholland's Sc
ductlve voice viii no longer be heard at
the Central, crying, Shine? Black 'em
mister2 Only five cents" His first
move viii be to buy a horse and cart and
engage IN the huckster business, with
the laudable object of increasing his for
tune by economy and hard work.

AN UNHAPPY OUTCAsr.
A Handsome White Woman Who DeIiber-
ately Abandoned Her Race.

A Handsome White Woman Who Deliber-
ately Abandoned Her Race.
Reese River tNev.) Reveile.
A white woman has been among the
Indians of this State for four years now.
From a person who knows the causes
which led to this strange freak we give
what follows:
This woman is apparently thirty-three
years of age, has a very pleasing but dis
sipated face. She was clad in tight
fitting, faded morning wrapper, through
which the outlines of a perfectly modelled
figure were discernible. She acts in a
strange, silly manner, but this may be
ascribed to embarrassment resulting from
her singular choice Of position. Upon
being asked as to what peculiar abnOr-
nal fascination induced her to abandon
the society and customs Of her own kind,
she replied that the unkindness and de
ceit which she encountered among the
white people, prompted her to mingle
with a race, which, if they did not pos
sess the civilization and refinement Of
her own, at least were mOse sincere and
affectiOnat9 in their nature. She is very
shy about relating anything about her
former course of life and relatives, but
this much was at lenghtb WOrmed out of
her by considerable diplomatic maneu-
vering. Her home is in San Francisco.
When about twenty-five years of age she
was led astray under promise of mar
riage, but the promise was never fulfilled.
She went from bad to worse, until one
day she met a man who proposed mar
rage to her. A wedding succeeded the
proposal. The honeymoon, however,
was very brief indeed. She had not been
married a month when her husband be-
gan a system of the most inhuman
abuses and cruelties toward her. For
two years she stood this, but at length
when the poor wretch could endure itnO
| longer, she sued for a divorce, which was
granted. After this she began a career
of greater abandon than ever. Wherever
she went she met with nothing but IN
kindness, rebuffs and kicks. She drifted
to Prescott, Arizona, in company with a
/ low and vulgar crowd, and there entered
dance house as the star attraction.
! About five years ago she came to Nevada
! OsCillating between Eureka, Austin and
! difficulty with her clover" she resolved
/ upon taking the step which she has. At
/ first the Indians hesitated about taking
/ her into their fold, but her persistence
in the matter was productive of success
! She concluded by saying that nothing IN
/ the world would now induce her to re-
sumo her former life, however bright the
/ prospects might be painted for her. Her
/ name could not be learned. She has
avoided white men and women since she
adopted her new mode of life, fearing
! arrest and compulsiOn to fOrsake her
! present companions, who, she said, were
/ entirely suited to her taste.

POLITICAL.
Mrs. Halpin, of Cleveland Scandal Fame,
Abducted by Detectives.

Mrs. Halpin, of Cleveland Scandal Fame,
Abducted by Detectives.
Special Dispatch to the democrat.
New Rochelle, August 9.-Mrs. Maria
Halpin, the widow lady whose name has
been unpleasantly associated with that
of Governor Cleveland, has disappeared
from this place very mysteriOusly. 1t
has leaked out that both Democrats and
Republicans have been working, the one
to get the story from her lips, the other
to get her out of the way. 1t
is quite evident that the Demo
Gratis have succeeded. So cautious
were their movements and so quiet were
the tongues of each party that not more
than a dozen people in this quiet place
were aware that Mrs. Halpin, house
keeper for James Albert Secard, was the
heroine of the Buffalo sensational rO-
nance. That lady, however, was never
seen outside of the door from the after
noon of the arrival of telegram from a
certain well known politician in Erie,
Pa. This was Thursday. Several de-
tectives appeared about Secard's res
iden"e Immediately afterwards and
l blu5ied ava, away co anybody WHO who
Democrats made their appearance yes
terday and to-day, while the telegraph
wires have been kept going night and
day. By Friday morning all avenues
both front and rear, to Secard's house
were guarded, and it was impossible for
anybody to get within a block of the
house. The Republican managers made
three attempts to get at Mrs Halpln
and matters got so hot that they
announced this afternoon that Mrs
Halpin would be got at tonight
at all hazards. They made the effort
and found that Mrs. Halpin had gone
nobody knew where, and that all the
mysterious people had left town. 1t Is
town, but it is so supposed. Your cor
respondent has reason to believe thai
she is in New York city, and will remaiI
there until after the election, under the
control of Democratic managers. 1t il
said tonight that detectives in the en-
ploy of the Republican managers in New
York saw a woman being spirited away a
a very early hour this morning, and re
ported the fact to their employers. Tn,
Chief of Police says that the Democratic
managers were too shreWd for their Op
pOnents, and had made the Republican
detectives drunk on wine. 1t is an &C
knowledged fact that the plan to get the
woman out of the way was laid in Al
bany, while prominent men in Buffalo
were constantly kept posted of what wa
going on.
LATER-It has been ascertained tina
Mrs. Halpin has gone to New York
taking the SOY train for that city OF
Friday, in the garb of an old woman, il
care of a detective guard. Officer Kane
who was at the depot, saw a lady pas
down the steps to the depot and enter tn
cars unmolested by any ofthe Republican
detectives. The four officers who formet
her escort then entered the car and took
seats near her. At the Grand Contra
depot Mrs. Halpin entered a coach an
was driven through FOrty-secOnd stree
officers returned to New Rochelle by
late train.

IN its extraordinary article relating to
the moral character of Mr.. Cleveland
which has been repubGshed generally
by the press, the New York EUenjng
Post thus criGcises the writer's who con
denim the morals and practices of the
Democratic candidate:
Preaching Of this sort, at this time. is
cant, and cant in its most lOathsome
form, for it fills every household in the
land with filthy suggestions and insinua-
tiOns.
This is truly a preposterous inversion
of the Office of censorship. a man Of
immoral principles and leading a boldly
HbidinOus life is nominated for the
highest Office in the land. The decency,
the morality and the responsibility of
the country revolt at the offensive
spectacle and denOunce the candidate
and his supporters. Instead of censur-
ing the party which puts up such a can
didate, and his supporters and apollo
gists, the immaculate EVe11ing Post cen
sures the decent, respectable and moral
people who reject the candidate, and
lays at their door the charge of tainting
the households of the land with filth
and scandal. The fact of the matter is
that the land is tainted by a filthy and
scandalOus candidate, not by the good
men and women who denOunce the APP
pearance Of such candidate.
