ALMOST INCREDIBLE.
A Strange Transaction in Penn
sylvania.
Without faint of Insanity, a Woman
Confined Twenty-Seven Years.

PHILADELPHIA, August :, 14.-Adrianna
Bripckle has just been released from the
State Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg, where
she had been confined twenty seven years,
although perfectly sane during all that
time. Thirty years ago the family of Miss
Brinckle's father, Dr.Wln. Draper Brinckle,
were leaders of Philadelphia society, and
Addie was the center of an admiring circle.
Reverses finally swept away the DOCTORS for
tune, reducing the family to uncomfortable
circumstances. To raise money for neces.
sary expenses Addie sold a piano and
furniture which had not yet been fully
paid for. The owner sued her for wrongful
conversion of the property With the idea
OF saving the family honor, DR.. Brinckle
caused his daughter to be placed in the lu-
matte asylum, intending to secure her re-
lease ina short time. He died
suddenly, however, =. leaving her
in the institution, where she
has remained until released by the
Commission on Lunacy few days ago.
Her relatives and former friends had
either been apathetic or had feared the
raising of unpleasant questions in the in
vestgation that would have followed any
attempt by them to release+Miss Brinckle.
a letter written by her to DR.. Thomas G.
Morton finally led to an inquiry into her
mental condition. She is now at the Con-
valescents' Retreat, near Glen Mills, Della
ware County.

Death of a Fine Cow.

WASHINGTON, August 14.-Mrs. Samuel
M. Shoemaker has lost by death, from in
Illumination Of the lungs, the world re.
nowned COW, Princess Second, which as
tonished the world by giving in seven days
yield of forty six pounds and ten and a
half ounces of butter. This test of her
butter qualities was completed April 10,
1885. Some time after the test the blankets
were taken off rather suddenly it is thought
and she took q cold, from which she
never recovered. She was a magnificent
animal, of great vitality and force, as well
as a fine butter producer. About two wears
ago Mr.. Shoemaker refused So, 900 for her.
She was eight years and six months old
when she died. She was an imported COW
and was bought at auction in.New York
for 81 500 She was of the celebrated
Coomassie strain. Her last calf was sold
during an absence from home of Mrs.
Shoemaker for $4,000 but the sale did
not stand, Mrs. Shoemaker refusing to
ratify IL OF her return. While
the Burnside Park Jersey herd has
sustained great loss in the death of Prin-
cess Second. it is thought her place will be
more than filled by noble COW of grand
physique of the same strain. This animal,
Oxford Kate, near relative of the Prin-
cess, has already record of thirty nine
pounds twelve ounces of butter in seven
days, which is already second to Princess
Second. and as she has never been pushed,
it is believed she can beat the foremost rec
ord. The mother of this COW sold for
So, $50. All the Burnside herd are in fine
condition

CHANGING THE CAPITOL.
Three Additional Terraces-A Million Dol.
lars to be Expended in Their Con.
structiOn.

WASHINGTON, August 13.-Every day
when there is not rain you can hear the
sound of hammer and trowel at the Capitol
building. We boast of having the fines5
building in the world, and it is probably
true, yet the work of improving it goes
steadily on. The Senate at last session
voted to spend million dollars in con-
structing terrace about the three fronts
of the Capitol building, for the Capitol, it
must be understood, has front on every
side. The object of this expenditure is to
and to give some additional room for stor-
age and committee rooms. 1t is true that
the height is already nearly 300 feet. that
the length is 75l feet, and the width 324,
and the number Of rooms very great, yet it
is equally true that the building has a low
appearance when compared with its length,
and that it has not nearly the amount of
room needed for the business transacted in
it. So the Senate voted to expend some
$75O,O0O, which, with the sum already put
in these basement extensions, would
make them cost million dollars. Few
people who have not seen the Capt.
toll, and not half those who have can get
clear understanding of its immense pro-
portions. When these additions are made
to it you will have to walk half a mile to
go once around it. The main building is
352 feet and inches long in front and 192
feet inches deep, with O portico 100 feet
wide, of "a columns on the east and pro.
jectiorpfS3 feet on the west, embracing
recessed portico of 10 coupled columns.
The extensions are placed at the north and
south ends of the main building, with con-
Meeting corridors A feet long by So feet
wide, hanked by columns. Each extern
sion is 142 feet inches in front by 1888 feet
10 inches deep, with porticos of y columns
each on their eastern fronts, and with por-
tcos of ten columns on their ends and on
their western fronts. The entire length OF
the building is 751 feet inches, and the
greatest depth, including porticos and
steps, is 324 feet. The additions now build
ing will add 100 feet to the length and 60
feet to the width. The area now covered
by the entire building is 1913, 112 square feet.
The height of the dome above the base line
of the east front is 237 feet 5 inches; the
height from the halustrade Of the building
is PIT feet II inches, and the greatest dia.
meter at the base is 1856 feet inches. The
rotunda is 95 feet inches in diameter, and
its height from the floor to the top of the
canopy is 1870 feet inches. The Senate
chamber is 113 feet inches in length, by
so feet 3 inches in width and SO six feet in
height. Its galleries will accommodate
| 1000 persons. The representatives hall is
1879 feet in length, by SO feet in width and
81 feet in height. The Capitol as it now
stands covers about three and one-half
ceres Of ground. When these improve
merits are finished 1t win cover about five
| acres and will have cost about Sill, 900 ,OOO.

Attempted KIDNAPPING.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, August 13-The bold
est case of kidnapping ever known in this
section was perpetrated this afternoon in a
thickly settled portion Of this city, which
has created, the greatest excitement,
both at police headquarters and among
citizens. At three o'clock, Lizzie Kane,
pretty little girl nearly fourteen years of
age, started from the home of her step
mother to go about block to grocery.
Just as she was passing corner she was
seized by two men and hastily thrown
into a hack which seemed to be in
waiting, and which was driven rap
idly toward the outskirts of the city. The
police were quickly notified, but the detect
ives, who drove six miles in the direction
taken by the hack, were unable to find any
clew..to-night. Some time ago the girls
paternal grandfather died, leaving her con-
siderable property, consisting mostly OF
real estate. Her own mother died when
she was two years old, and her father soon
after married, this time a Catholic, the
child's mother having been Protestant.
The child's father died two years
ago, soon after which Dr. Charles
Sumner was appointed guardian Of it's per-
son.. The child's maternal grandfather is
W. H. Brundage, of Philadelphia who is a
Protestant. He has been here two months,
during which he, as he reported to DR..
Sumner, attempted several times to see
the child and was refused He heard the
stepmother was about to have the girl con-
flrmed in the Catholic faith, and applied to
DR.. Sumner for an order to take the child
on visit to Philadelphia. Such order
was granted, but the stepmother kept
the child away from him, her rea-
son for so doing she stated to be that
she was afraid that if the girl was taken to
Philadelphia she would never return. At
the police station the stepmother, after
telling her story, swooned, and afterward
became a maniac and attempted to jump
from the window. She believes the girl
was kidnapped at the instigation Of the
grandfather, and that she will never be
found. LATER.-The detectives have just
found Lizzie Kane in a house on the out
skirts of the city, where her clothes had
been changed preparatory to taking her
away on the night train.

JOLIET, ILL, August 13.-Mary Daniels,
of Terre Haute, white woman, and Chas.
A. Stewart, negro, originally from the
same city, were released from Joliet prison
this morning, having served year each
for bigamy. Mary eloped from Terre
Haute, leaving white husband, and
Stewart left a colored wife. The two went
to Marseilles, ILL.,, and were married, but
were followed up from Indiana by
Stewards dusky better half, who had them
arrested and convicted. A popularity
about the Daniels woman is that when she
reached the prison her face and hands had
been colored by some kind of stain that
gave her the appearance of bright col
ored mulatto woman. years sojourn
behind the bars has bleached out her skin
to her natural color, so that when she was
called up for discharge this morning
the prison officials were aston.
ished to see that instead of being.
q mulatto Mary Daniels had
blue eyes and fair skin, with rosy cheeks,
and instead of kinky hair her head was
adorned with bangs of light brown color.
Stewart had been released several hours
ahead of the woman, but instead of leav-
ing town he hung around the prison watt
ing for her release. She remained at the
prison until the St. Louis train arrived;
when she got aboard, giving her colored
lover the slip.

Escaped Convict Murders a Woman.

PLATTE CITY, Mo-, August l2.-Last
Sunday night an escaped convict from the
Tennessee Penitentiary, named Wynott,
shot and killed Mrs VIM. Maggott, of this
county, who was relative of his. The
deed was in revenge because Maggott and
his wife had given information as to
Mynott's whereabouts which led to
his extradition. He, however, managed to
escape his guard while being taken back to
Tennessee and making his way here,
called Mrs. Maggott to her door and shot
her dead. The country is aroused and in
hot pursuit, with lyncbing in prospect.
The matter has been kept quiet, fearing

Gaping.
