FRESH-AIR CHILDREN.

The work of sending the poor child

a two weeks vacation, wilt begin ear
lier this year than last season. Du-
ing the summer of '83, seventy-eight
companies. made up of 1850 children
werv sent out for a rest. Of this
number all were children, save one
hundred working-girl and forty-tive
mothers with infants. They each
remained at least two full weeks III
the country, and the total, counting
the time occupied in going and COM
ing, and the time of those whose stay
was prolonged, gives grand vaca-
ton of II, 100 days, or 1876 years.
They were gathered from New York
Brooklyn and Jersey City by 16O
different workers among the poor.
and were largely members of mission
schools and industrial schools, and
dispensaries and hospitals. In addi-
ton to the number sent into country
for two weeks each, $500 children
were taken to Coney Island for the
day-making a total of $3.50 bene
ficiaries OF The Tribune fresh-air
fund for the year.
The children went an average dis
lance of 260 miles from the city, rep
resenting 2,21U,OOO miles of travel
ing, in going to and from their coun
try friends. All this amount of tray
cling was accomplished without any
sort of accident or misfortune. The
average cost per child was 1886.
But, counting the number of days,
allowing just fortnight's vacation
for each child, 5,083 fortnights were
given at at cost of 1921 for each !;
or reckoning the time of those who
went to Coney Island, 5,490 fortnight
vacations were given at an average
cost of S2.71 each. The people took
the children without compensation,
and not penny was used from the
fund for salaries, Office expenses Or
incidentals, but every cent went d.
reetly to the object for which it was
contributed.
The first party of children will ar
rive in this section July Is. They
will be distributed not only in ST.
Johnsbury but all along the lines OF
the Passumpsic and Lake railroads
All persons who wish to take one OIL
more children, should send their name,
and the number of children wanted,
to st. Johnsbury, before July Goth.

A storm of phenomenal fury visited
Washington and Carroll counties, Md,
and passed into the lower part of Penn
sylvania last week. Over one hundred
head of cattle on farms bordering on
Double Pine creek were swept away, and
almost the entire fifth district of Carroll
county was under water. Many Of the
farmers claim that they saw enormous
water spouts, which swept away trees,
fences, barns and oth.r buildings like
chat. Near Union bridge q dozen houses
were!inaccessible, and it was feared that
many persons had been drowned The
loss in cattle, crops and buildings is es-
timated at 1926, 900. In Y ork county, Pa,
the loss by the flood is $4,000 In Hart
ford county travels impaded by the wash
ing away of the bridges. At Wilson's
Mills an unknown man was accidentally
drowned in the flood, and colored boy
has also been washed away. The loss
in Cecil county by the washing away OF

THE SOUTH HERO MYSTERY
CLEARED UP.

The old adage that "murder will
OUT has again proved true by the
finding, at Maquam Bay, recently,
the body of Herman Krauser, the
young German who mysteriously dis
appeared from Grand Isle last Janu-
airy. Krauser worked foi farmer
named Charles Wilcox. The body
has been fully identified as that of
Krauser, who left the house of Wilcox
in company with Oscar Meyer. The
latter is in the State Prison at Wind
sor, awaiting developments. Meyer
came to st. Adams from Burlington,
and soon after went to visit Krauser
at Grand Isle. They left the place
together, stopping at Ladd's Land
ing about noon, where they were seen
by some men cutting ice. Krauser
had about So on his person, and after
the two had been away some time
Meyer returned and procured an axe,
a rope, large stone and a handsled.
A handkerchief belonging to him was
found covered with blood. While in
st. Adams he had a revolver, and
used some borrowed money to buy
cartridges for the same. After Kraus-
ers disappearance Meyer went to the
house of Wilcox after Krauser's trunk,
saying that he had been sent for it.
He was afterward seen with some of
Krauser's clothing on. When Meyer
returned to the Island after his de-
parture with Krauser, he told such
conflicting stories that suspicion was
Immediately aroused, and search
made for the body. 1t could not be
found, but sufficient proof of MUIR
der was discovered to warrant Mey-
er's arrest. Blood-stained clothing
was found in a pawn shop at Albany,
N. Y, and the proprietor identified
Meyer as the person who had sold it.
Meyer did not contradict his accuser,
but denied all knowledge of the MUIR
der. Krauser's body was found last
Friday at Maquam. 1t remained in
| the water until the arrival of Drs.
Fassett and Wilder, of St. Adams,
to make the necessary examination.
As soon as it was pulled out, it was
readily identified by Myron Hurlburt,
Mr.. Wilcox and Mr.. Tobias, who
came over from the Island, by scar
on the chin and leather belt about
the body, worn instead of suspenders.
The shirt on the body was the mate
to that found in Meyers possession,
and the measurement of the body
correspondent to Krauser's hight.
The surgeons opened the skull, and
found a No. 80 cartridge ball embed
ded in the brain. This ball fits ex-
actly the revolver which Meyer had
sold to a party across the lake. Close
by the body was found piece of
rope, at one end of which was piece
of nail. 1t is said that Mrs. Bar
ney, at whose house Meyer stopped
and asked for piece of rope, told
afterward that in pulling the rope
from where it was tied she broke off
a nail with it. Around one ankle of
the dead man was mark as if made
by tying it with a rope. A slight
brnise was also found near the tenn
pie. All these things complete the
chain of evidence which has been
Tightening around Meyer ever since
his arrest. The body was removed
after the examination to Swanton,
where 1t was given Christian burial.
The brakeman who first discovered
1t was Albert Goodnow, and he was
promptly given the $50 reward which
the selectmen had authorized. Pa
