The Cincinnati Enquirer finds
abundant cause fer the indignation
of the people Of that city which was
unfortunately permitted to descend
to the depths ofriot and bloodshcd.
There are to-day in the Jail of
Hamilton county forty murderers,
"while outside the incIesure there
are scores Of others" Besides these,
the six annual report of the super
intendent Of police exhibit some
startling figures:

Malicious shooting

In addition to these awful stats
tics the Enquirer says: "The decade
yet TO close over 500 arrests have
been made of men who, with knives,
pistols and other deadly weapons,
have, with more or less success, at
tempted the lives of fellow crea-
lures" No wonder the public mind
revolted at the escape from the gal
lows of the selfconfessed murderer
Berner. But at what price of hui
man life and valuable property have
the people marked a disapproval
that might years ago have been
made impossible by the passage of
enactments to simplify the criminal
practice and more certainly insure
convictions.

Some months ago Miss Annie
Tate, daughter of DR.. William S.
Tate, returned home from Balti-
more, where she had been for sew
eral years past studying at Mt. De
Sales Convent. Immediately upon
her return home she met Thomas
]. Barber, a fascinating young
drummer" for a China house in
Charleston. Although numerous
and more eligible asIiraRts sought
her hand, Miss Tate, who is twenty
years old and noted for her beauty,
yielded to the persuasions of the
dashing drummer" and greatly
against her parents wishes, welded
him in Hendersonville three weeks
ago. They left the same day, osten-
sibly for Galveston, where Barber
said he had wealthy relations. Since
then nothing has been heard of
them. The alarmed family tele-
graphed to BARRIERS employers in
Charleston to know if they had in
formation about him. They were
informed that be had left their sew
ices several weeks before, but that
he had a wife in the city who might
know something about him. The
agonized father hurried at once to
Charleston, and learned from Mrs.
Barber that her husband had base
ly deserted her and her four chill
dren a month before. The town in
greatly excited Miss Tate's rela-
tivss and many of her old admirers
swear vengeance against Barber
and state that as soon as they as
certain where he is they will follew
him up and kill him. A warrant
has been issued for his arrest. The
shock has made Mrs. Tate very liz.

MEAGRE INTELLIGENCE.
HALIFAX, April 4-Intelligence SO
far from the wrecked steamer Daniel
Steinman is very meagre. Ii is
said that the captain and five ofthe
crew were the only persons saved.
The ship and 80 passengers and "a
of a crew Twenty of the passen-
gers were to land here, all Germans,
and 30 for New York. She is sup
posed to have struck ON the Sisters
of Sambro last night and shortly
after sank. The mast is now visible
from the shore. The intelligence
did not reach here until this after
noon. A considerable part of the
cargo was fer here and the balance
for New York. The owners have
gone to the wreck. S..
The tugs which left here for the
scene of the wreck have returned
without being able to reach the
neighborhOod of the steamer, owing
to the rough sea- An attempt will
be made in the morning to reach the
wreck if the weather moderates.
The Daniel Steinman had bulk
heads, and her engines were 1873
horse power.
HALIFAX, April 4.-The very
latest regarding the wrecked steam
er Daniel Steinman, is that ola crew
of thirty nine and the captain and
ninety passengers, only nine reach
cd shore, the captain, five of the
crew and three others. These arestill
on Sambro Island. short distance
from the mainland. Owing to the
heavy sea prevailing in the neigh
borho0d of the island, the survivors
are not likely to reach the main
land till noon tomorrow. or until
the sea becomes calmer No par
ticulars can therefore be learned in
regard to the disaster at presant.

The pelican feeds its young with the
life. blood from its own bleeding bosom.
This is q beautiful mistake that will live
forever in symbol and legend. The
" real live" pelican has large bag I'M
der her unwieldy beak, and digging
with the beak toward the breast, she
feeds her brood, and soils her feathers
with red, stained tid-bits Of fish from
the bag. The nightingale leans her
breast against thorn and sings ip pain.
In the old poets. not only has she a
thorn in her breast, but she puts 1t there.
Instead of being the voice of lonely
love, she ought to be the emblem of
those discontented people who, In po.
sit.on enviable to others, first make
their own troubles and then spend their
lives in self-comm iseration. OF course
the nightingale IL not such a fool as she
looks in poetry. Swans are said to sing
death song this is poetry, too. But
they are Matched during thunder and

sensible folk. Crows and curlews hate
each other so that their eggs put in the

yelk in it-clearly an amateur attempt.

The first electric railway for public
use in America went into operation In
Cleveland, Ohio, on Saturday, in con.
uection with the East Cleveland Street
Railroad. The experiment, on a mile
long road, was 40 successful that the
Company, it is stated, expects to change
their entire system, comprising over
twenty miles, into electric roads. The
system used was a com mbiuation of the
Brush, Knight and Bentley system, and
the current was carried on underground
conductors laid in conduits like those
of cable roads. The cars were started
and stopped and reversed with the
greatest ease. Any number of cars up
TO fifteen can be run at one time on a
single circuit and from one machine,
