A SUCCESSFUL ABDUCTION.
A Father Runs off with His Child
AS It Is A bout 10 be Taken 10 Cali

fornia.
The p, W. & B. railroad passenger station
in this city, was the scene, Tuesday morning,
of spirited abduction, In which father
seized his eldest child, a girl of five years,
and ran away with her just as relatives
were about starting with the little one on n
journey to California.
Mrs, Rachel Wood and her sister in-law,
Mrs. George Wood, went to the depot early
Tuesday morning to take the $50 train for
Philadelphia, their ultimate destination
being Pasadena, Los Angeles county, Cali
fornia, whore their husbands, Isaac and
John w. Wood, are now located. With
them were the small son Of the former, the
son of the latter, and little Anna Heffner,
aged five years, eldest daughter of Daniel
Heifner, who recently kept u restaurant on
thewsest side of Market street, below Third,
and niece of Mrs. George Wood, whose
younger sister is Heirners wife. Mrs.
Georgie Wood, with her sisters full con-
sent, was about to take the little girl with
her to her California homo.
Heffner and his wife have not been living
together for several months, and the latter
some time ago instituted proceedings for a
divorce. When 1t was proposed to allow
the little girl to be taken to California by
her aunt, opposition on his partw feared,
| but as time passed on it failed to be mani
| tested. Even Monday night he called at the
1
| bid 1t nm affectionate adieu, without saying
a word in opposition to the course about tc
| be pursued.
Tuesday, however, Heffner appeared
at the depot about train time, having
learned what train the party intended Il
take. He talked cheerfully to his little
daughter, and gave her some candy. His
demeanor was so quiet that the fears Of the
others were allayed, but suddenly Heffnel
stopped down, picked the girl up il
his arms, rushed out the door ant
ran up French street, with the relatives il
hot pursuit and the girl screaming ant
kicking in vigorous resistance. Al
officer was at the door, ant
seemed to have been brought alont
by Heffner, who spoke to him os he ran out
saying ''its all right" but when the child
aunt besought him to stop Heffner he re
fused, saying it was matter in which h
could not interfere. Heifner ran so rapid,
that the pursuit was soon given up. Mrs
Rachel Wood left on the $50 train, and Mrs
George Wood left on the next train, at GAO
after learning that she could not even at
tempt to recover the child without al
annoying delay.
Heffner now has the child in his posses
sion, but his wife and her parents wi
probably make speedy attempts to get
into their custody again.

A strike was begun Tuesday at Gal
weston, by the Knights of Labor, for the
purpose of reinstating white longshore-

of the agent of the Mallory line of
steamers to withdraw the colored long
shoreman from the Mallory wharf, where
they have been working for the past two
weeks, having been put on to replace
striking longshoreman. Failing to carry
their point with the Mallory line, the
strikers joined the Knights of Labor
and this organization has undertaken
to restore the white longshoremen. ALI
the Knights of Labor employed by the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroads
and by the Missouri Pacific line in Gal
