 One of the farmers who succeeded in backing his wagon into place at tAe City Hall market yesterday morning had sew eral errands to do around the neighbor. hood, and he leA his son of I4 on the vehicle to make a sale of i've or six bags of potatoes, The old man had scarcely disappeared when hill-disiributor came along and threw into the wagon the first chapters of a sensational serial. The boy grabbed for the fly" and began to devour the literature in chunks and hunks, and of the half dozen people who came along and asked the price of his potatoes he answered only one, and him so absent-mindedly that no sale was made, In about half an hour the old man returned.

 "The widow of tae bandit. John A MuErelL is resident of the hendersor fraction ot Chester county. She is ! kind, amiA6le old lady, and Is highly TO spected in the neighboEhood." "-- LsffRx. aas PyeSvsss.
 From personal acquaintance with the lady above mentioned, we are ore pared to endorse as a truth the x,atenaen, ot the PvexpsSS, She is, indeed, a woman possessing in an eminent degree the qualities attributed. The writer has had many conversations with her, but ,n no irsiance did she ever refer to her husband or bis notorious deeds, Oni that subject she has ever remained silent, and every effort to ge; her to speak of him os his deeds fail. It Is believed that She pos. scsses important papers concerning the life ot her husband, and may, some time tn the near future, place them in the hands ot some trusted person as data fcr truthful history of the man whose deeds are memorable in the hist,Sy and radi. tion of this section.
 Mrs. John A. Mauell is a rapid talker, and has very retentive memory from which she produces many interesting in. ciden,s of mose than halt century ago which arc intetwoven in our local and state history. Her dcscendAnts arc livins \ principally in Chester and Hatdeman counties, and are all good citizens. She has no permanent home, but hvet among her children and other relatives Alter Mouell's death she married Sc eond time 10 Mir. Bland, who died sever al years ago. Time has whitencd her locks and turrowed her cheek, bat upon the aged countenance clusters the light ot a henignant soul. Despite age her cyes retain their sight, and when in animated conversation they sparkle with AS much bnlliancy as those oi youth. We do nol know her exact age. but she Is as least ar ociogenarian. Full of life, energy, yield. ing not to the pressure ot years, this kint old lady moves on toward the evenin, horizon Of life, afAble, generous and un, ostentatioux.

 MT.

Now that some time had elapsed, to track the thief would be an absolutely hopeless task, for they had no tangible clue to go upon. Had bundle of bank notes been stolen, there would have been a chance of tracing them by the nam- bers, because the thief would naturally attempt to circulate them but a will was worth nothing to any one but the parties concerned. Under the circumstances, they could do nothing but await the course of events.
 A few more days passed, and Mir. Goulding was at hts wits end. He was harassed with letters from Mrs. Reddie anxiously asking for news. She had shut up her house at Manchestex, and taken her three younger daughters to stay with her at The Firs,' Q 1t seemed as if they were determined to make good use of that residence while they could, evea though they should lose the propexty after all The Misses Reddie were be- ginning to fret, their mother said, at the prolonged suspense while their pros pects of being emandpated from poverty (and spinsterhood) no doubt became each day fainter. The melancholy effects of the loss were beginning to be felt even in MT. Goulding's household. Mn. Coulding, who was taken into her hus- bands confidence in this matter, found him growing morose and irritable, and was not permitted to indulge in her fs- vorite songs, which, he said, jared on his nerves. The three young Gouldings also shared in the general depression, and were banished to the nursery on the slightest provocation. There were two little girls, aged about eight and six, and a litde boy of four. The latter was called Arthur after his father, and had always been much pested bat now he was 90

New York Special: The board which ex.

Commander Evans and Mr.. Herman Win
ters n'tdesire another trial trip to satisfy
them that the ship is bad; not one of them
believes her to ba seaworthy. The report
says:
The design OF the ship considered as dis.
patch boat is absurd. She cannot make
speed and she cannot defend herself She
cannot fire at u vessel which she may he
pursuing. nor at one from which she may be
flying. The vessel is so badly constructed
that slight addition to her load, or a
slight shifting ofit, throws her machinery
out Of line. The absence OF proper braces,
due to faulty design, causes her to vibrate
and her machinery deck to shake
in such . way as to raise great doubts as to
her safety as q sea-soing vessel. The con-
tract violates the law which requires fifteen
knots sea speed, and in the opinion Of the
board, the government is not bound to ac-
cept the vessel, even II the contract is COM
piled with, on the ground that the govern.
ment cannot be bound by the illegal acts OF
subordinates.
