BOG miles from Lake st. John his party

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 4.-The Times
says At about one O'Clock, yesterday, the
Harrison street patrol wagon passed
along Wabash avenue at a lively rate OF
speed, and seated on its bare seats were
two women and two men under the guar
dianship of officers. They were Miss
Annie Petersen, well-to-do maiden lady,
whose age she refuses TO impart even to
desk-sergeant at the station. Her Sis
ter sat next to her, and two broth
ers named Andrew and Christopher Peter
sen laced the worthy ladies. Their resi-
dence is at No. 1923 Wabash avenue, and
on the first floor OF the house Miss Peter
sen conducts saloon. She leases the

stone structure, and subjects the
upper part. Mrs, NJ A. Pentleld, a
respectable widow, who has two daugh-

In front Of No 1922 he heard agoniz

and bursting open door on the
second moor, where the screams seemed
to come FROM there found woman
destitute Of clothes, lying on the floor,
and two big burly men brutally kicking
her. Two women were egging the men
on with cries and tiendish yells, while two
little girls We're sObbing and crying in the
bed. O'Bricn drew his club, and crack
ing one Of the brutes over the head COM
PEELED both to desist. All were placed
under arrest, and then it was learned that
they were the entire Petersen family in
array against poor Mrs. Penield. She
was bruised and cut up by their blows
and kicks.
Mrs. Penfeld stated to a Times reporter
that she was in arrears two weeks for
rent, Sc in all, and had told MissPetersen
that she would pay up in full that even

they had come upstairs, and, pulling her
to the floor, commenced beating her.
They tore all the clothes off her, she al
leges, and then locked her up in coal
closet. At noon they took her out and
began pounding her, when her cries at.

AN ECCENTRIC TRAMP.
How an Amiable Young Lady was Re.

How an Amiable Young Lady was Re-
warded for Kind Action.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April Miss Fan
ME g. Porter, daughter OF Mrs. Porter,
Postmistress at Russellville, Ky, was
married at Ocala, Fla, March 26, to one
Glenn. Dickey, of Colorado. There is
quite romance in Miss Porter's life.
over year ago, late in the evening, she
was walking with some young lady
friends, when an old gray-haired, ragged
tramp approached the party. Her COM
panions screamed and ran away, but she
walked leisurely along, and re-
turned his salutation. The next
day. and for several days after
ward the tramp took up position
In front of the Post-oflCe and spent hours
watching Miss Porter. Finally he came
to the window where she was writing and
spoke. She responded pleasantly, and
taking courage from her courtesy, the old
man asked her name. "Pease write it
out for me-" he asked. She did so, and
he placed the sheet of paper away in his
pocket. "You are good girl and a
mighty pretty one, too" the old man said ;
'and | like you Don't you know that you
are the only person that has treated me
with any kindness for years. They say |
am old and crazy, but don't you believe
'em. have got lots of money, and lam
going to leave it all to you" Miss Por-
ter's mother coming in at this point he
repeated his remarks to her, and shaking
hands with both ladies, left. Time
passed on. The old fellow had disap-
peared, and no one thought about him.
A few months ago the Sheriff of Logan
County, Miss Porter's home, received a
letter from certain town in Kentucky.
The letter said that tramp was found
dying in the woods near there; that he
had been taken in and cared for; that a
letter was found in his pocket which ex-
planned that money sufficient to pay his
Doctors bill and burial expenses would be
found hid in his clothes. The sheet of
paper containing Miss Porter's name was
also found, and with it instructions to
send all the papers to her; also, that he
had so many thousand dollars in bank
in Tennessee, naming the town and
bank, and that it was his wish that
Miss Porter should accept it. Miss
Porter, short while ago, received let
ter offering her $4,000 for her interest
in the old mans estate if she would for
felt all claim to it. The offer was not
accepted, and so the affair rests for
the present

The Veteran Elocutionist, Actor
and Contortionist Succumbs
to Apoplexy.
Interesting "reminiscences Suggested by
His Death at this Time Of Riot
and Bloodshed.
How the Elder Burnett Defended His
Home and His Life Against an
Angry Pro-Savery Mob.

CINCINNATI, o., April 4.-Alf Burnett,
the veteran actor of Cincinnati, died at
four O'Clock this morning, of apopleXy
He was filling an engagement at the
museum, and appeared as usual last
evening.
The death Of the veteran elocutionist
and contortionist just at this time of riot
and bloodshed, suggests an interesting
Renaissance. During the early days OF
the Abolition party, Alt, Burnett's
father, who was staunch, and true
member of the devoted brother
hood, was engaged in the bakery and con-
fectionery business in Cincinnati, and the
spirit of ruffainism which cost the martyr
LovejOy his life on the rivers brink at
Alton was also rampant at Gin
cinnati. The older Burnett was pointed
out as a special mark Of
hated by those who believed in the divine
right of human slavery, and the feeling of
resentment against SO fearless an advo-
cate of liberty waxed hotter and hotter,
until it eliminated in the gathering of an
Infatuated mob, raised for the express
purpose of taking the hated abOlltionist
out and hanging him. The crowd moved
noisily onward toward the confectionery
store, gathering strength and num-
bers at every step until 1t swelled
to thousands. Arriving at Mr.. Bur
nett's place, they loudly demanded
that he come forth, while a few, holder
than their fellows, began an assault on
the heavy front doors.
The old gentleman, who was within,
becoming indignant at such treatment,
arose and went TO the door, which
he opened and stepped outside. His as
sailants falling back before his giant
strength and blazing eye, were for a mo-
ment awed into silence. With a knowl-
edge Of men no less remarkable than
his frmncSs in dealings with them,
he seized his opportunity, and, stamp
ing his foot vehementy, Indignantly
demanded what 50 great an army of
DULLES and towards meant in coming
against one unarmed man. He shamed
them for their cowardice, ridculed
them for their ignorance, and chided
them for their antagonism to human
liberty; and when he had them com
pletely cOwed he demanded that they be
men, and if they wanted to kill him to
do it as men. "ChooSe," said the old pa
triarch, Zone, two, three-choose
hall a dozen of your best men, and let them
come and take me, and' said he, laying
aside his coat "if they do, | nor mine
will ever complain. If they don't, then
in Heavens name let me live among you
in peace and enjoy my opinions as you
claim the right to enjoy yours"
BY the time lie ceased speaking, the
angry mob had half melted away, and as
he paused for a reply, their fellows lost
no time in following their example.
few such men as the elder Burnett at
the Indignation meeting in Cincinnati last
week would have prevented the disas-
trous results ensuing, and saved the city
the disgrace and loss of the worst riot
known to our annals

EFFECT OFTHE RIOT.
A Woman Gets Seven Years for Shoot.
ing With Intent to Kill.

CINCINNATI, o., April 4.-The first sen
fencing of prisoners since the riot, took
place to-day in Judge Johnston's Court.
Belle Osborn, colored, convicted of shoot
ing with intent to kill, received seven
years. She begged most piteously
when the sentence was announced,
and the Judge began to say
that as this was a woman he would
modify the sentence when the prosecu.
tor interposed vigorous protest, saying
This woman has been before the Grim
inal Court again and again, and some
thing must be done to relieve the courts,
If for no other purpose" The Judge
permitted the sentence 10 remain. The
only other case of homicide, was that OF
John Murtah, who pleaded to man
slaughter. 1t appeared that he struck
a man with his fist, and the plea was
accepted, and the sentence of five years
given
