A PECULIARLY SAD CASE.
Daughters In Court rs Witnesses Against
Their Dissolute Mother.

daughters IN court As witnesses against
Their Dissolute Mother.
NEW YORK, January 22.-An effecting
scene was enacted in the gloomy court
room of the Tombs this morning when an
intelligent looking and neatly dressed
young woman, apparently about twenty
years old, appeared as complainant against
her mother and succeeded in having her
sent to the island for six months.
Nearly fourteen years ago Patrick Heally
came here from Ireland, bringing his fam
iy Of wife and four children. For awhile
they prospered, but losing employment he
finally deserted his wife and the babes and
has never been heard of since. Mrs. Heally
Immediately consigned all her children TO
different asylums and returned to Ireland.
For years the children-tour girls-Hever
knew where their mother was, but after
Polly, the Oldest had left the asy lum and
by dint OF close application BY study ob-
tanned position in one Of the public
schools of the city. She gathered her other
sisters about her and suggested that each
contribute from their small savings to hunt
up their mother and reunite the family.
This was done and the mother, who had
since married again on The supposition that
her first husband was dead. oined her four
daughters, now grown TO womanhood.
Trouble soon came, however, as the
mother shove d too great tondness for
strong drink The girls did all in their
power to reform her but things only became
worse. Finally, while under the influence
ofliquor, the mother visited the school over
which Polly had charge and created such
scene that the poor girl was compelled to
resign her only means Of support. Even
the household furniture and all the little
comforts of home with which the indus
trious girls had surrounded themselves were
not exempt, but gradually disappeared to
sppease the mothers passion for strong
drink
AS last resort Polly, accompanied by
sister determined to appeal to the courts,
and last Saturday made statement of the
case and warrant WAS given them for
their mothers arrest. When the case was
called Mrs. IIeally made a strong appeal
for mercy, and denied that the daughters
were all they represented themselves TO be,
and the court remanded her until the char
aCter of the girls could be ascertained In.
quiry substantisted the statement as given
by the girls. Those who have known them
best speak most highly Of thon. One is

self as type writer, while the youngest

Judge O'Reilly gave the old lady, whose
face bore evidence to her desolute habits,
six months on the Island When sentence
was pronounced, both girls were viSibly az
iected and left the court room sobbing,
while the mother received her sentence in
grim and Slolid silence.

FoRr SMITH, ARK, January 22.-Nsvs
Of q tragedy which occurred in the Indian
country, few miles southeast of Webbers
Falls, several days ago has just reached
this city particulars of which, as far Is can
be ascertained, srs as follows: A young
man named Colson Baldridge was married
a day or two previous, and the festivities OF
the occasion were wound up BY grand
ball at the residence of man named
Davis Whisky and pistols seem to have
been plentiful. All went merry until after
u o'clock, when suddenly TIA revslers
were startled by pistol shot from the out
side Of the house and Colson Baldrdge fell
with bullet through his body. He i'm
mediately got up and drawing his
pistol rushed to the door and fired three
shots at his assassin as he fled from the
house and then dropped dead.
AS soon as Colson was shot general draw
ing OF pistols was in order, and about
seventy five shots we .ired through tho
house in every direct /. When the smoke
had cleared away it was found that Jennie
Butler, Cherokee woman, was wounded in
the ,hign, Joe Muskrat had received ball
through the hand and a woman named
Jennie Smith was also wounded. Tho
party being nearly all drunk, many Of thsm
laid on the floor and slept of their
stupor and one of them when he awoke,
found that he had been using the body Of
murdered bridegroom as pillow. and was
lying partly in his blood. Baldridge had
killed Jesse Foreman several years ago
while trying to arrest him. He was tried for
the crime in the United States court, but
but came clear, and it is supposed that soms
of FOreman's friends took this occasion TO
wrcak their vengeance on him. Dances in

IT Is GRANTED.

Oliver Bros. & Phillips EStention-Credi-
tors Agree to the Terms of tho Firms
Proposition With Some Slight Modifica-
ton.
PIrTsBURG, January 22-The creditors
of Oliver Bros. & Phillips and the Oliver &
Roberts Wire Company Limited met this
morning to listen to the report of the com
mittee Mr. John Harper presided.
The committee Of creditors consisting Of
Messrs. John Slagle, John Chalfant, John
Dalzell, James NJ. Bailey and George A.
Berry, examined the condition of the firm
affairs and looked into the statement and
all its bearings, andreportedinits favor, with
some notifications. 1t was decided thstin.
stead of paying the interest on the eSten-
sion notes at the time the notes for them-
selves are due, separate notes for the inter
est should be given, payable every six
months. The firm agreed to this change in
the manner ofpsying. At the first meeting
1t was suggested that the mortgage credi-
tors should be asked to sign the eXtention
papers This the committee declared it
was unnecessary and unwise, as the mort
cages we're all placed in the hands Of strong
holders, who would carry them as long as
interest was paid. This modification was
agreed to also.
Mr.. James Donnell, who was selected as
one of the three trustees, announced that he
could not serve, and Mr.. James NJ. Bailey
was chosen in his place. The board of
trustees will stand thus: Alex. C. Byers,
James NJ Bailey and Orlando NJ Harper.
The creditors expressed themselves as
greatly pleased with the showing, and with
the arrangement agreed upon. There was
no fault found with the rate OF interest nor
the time proposed.
The formal extension paper arranged by
the committee was then agreed 10 by the
meeting. AS soon as the papers can be
drawn up and the preparations made, the
creditors will sign the extension.
This happy result is regarded as the best
possible outcome of the difficulties of the
firm.
1T is splendid arrangement for both the
creditors and the firm, said the President
of city bank, and what he said WAS en-
