mentary prevalence Of wind-storm, large

fastenings and thrown, together with sew
eral hundred bricks, to the pavement below.

Cousley and Agnes johnson, and an old
man named Dennis McCarty. Miss Cousley

dition Of insensibility, but soon revived. Her
head was badly cut, her nose and both limbs
broken and her body terribly bruised. Her
injuries, however, are not considered fatal,
McCarty escaped with some slight cuts and
bruises The sign was new, having been
erected within year. The fastenings were
OF the best material, and IL was thought il
would last many years to come.

Saturday, lightning struck shed, under

man was killed, and four others were dan

A Penalty Of Greatness.

Possibly it is agreeable to General Grants
family TO have the least minutie in the acts
in about their household daily laid before
the people in the newspapers. 1t is doubt
less pleasant to them to know that General
Grant Is man of such distinction that the
newspapers find that 1t pays them to keep
watch with their reporters day and night
upon his house, that they..may chronicle to
the people every incident of every hour
and tell us of every call that is
made at the house and the precise
moment OF it of every window in which
light appears at night and the moment
when 1t Is raised and lowered; of what is
borne by each visitor, and what is said
and how the general acts at every instant,
and what is done by each member of the
family and each servant and each doctor.
All this is pleasant to the family proba-
bly, as q constant reminder that General
Grant isa great man but it must be ex-
ceedingly unpleasant to these close rela-
tives that he and they should thus live in
the blaze of gross publicity in the most sol
smn moment of their family's history 1t
Il an outrage upon them that this
minuteness of reporting should be done;
and an outrage on the public as well.
It Il not demanded by any healthy public
sentiment, 1t is "a demand that is created
BY the newspapers that feed it. People

joyably read, that at l0:45 O'Clock Senator
>Chaflce called on General Grant and that at

telexraphed as news all over the land, and

think how absurd it is that such meaning

As ONE RISEN FROM THE DEAD.
An Ex-Confederate Soldier. Missing Since the
Battle OF Gettysburg. Returns Home.

sSnssSS w oooyspuTs' IsetuThh btOnt
The family of Mrs. J. S. Brady, of Tooms-
boro, Ga, was greatly astonished when a
bearded stranger, bent with age, stood at the
doorstep and inquired for Mrs Horn, the
mother of Mrs. Brady.
81 am your husband" he said, as soon rs
Mrs. Horn appeared.
After looking at the stranger intentiy for a
moment Mrs. Horn swooned away.
Twenty-four years ago w. G.. Horn, al that
time one OF the most substantial men of his
place, enlisted in the Carswell Guards and
served until the battle Of Gettysburg. On
the retreat he had disagreement with
his captain, and deserted to the Fed
eral side. After the war he wrote
to his wife, but the letter was mis-
carried. Since that time he has royed all over
the country. In the Indian territory he met
Georgian, from whom he learned that his
wife was still living but mourned him as
dead, and that his baby daughter had grown
up and become the wife of J. S. Brady. To
see them once more he had tramped all the
way home.

week, is expected to display thirty females,
whose avoirdupois will reach five tons and
besides the weight of the convention ITSELF
its utility in illustrating the science of getting

The Peculiar Reasons for the Unftness Of
Exum Saint as Pension Examiner.

The administration is, it seems, being badly
imposed upon. 1t was announced in Wash
ington dispatch yesterday that Exum Saint, of
New Castle, had been appointed a special
pension examiner, and from the nature of some
Of the comments which were made
during the day it Is quite probable that
there would be vigorous protest
from the Saving remnant of the party,
There were some inquiries made during the day
by one of the independents, evidently with a
view of getting information upon which to base
this protest. The information was easily OBJ
tanned. The records i'll the United States Court
show that information filed against Saint
on November 20, 1882, charging him with vio-
lating the pension laws by collecting an illegal
fee from pension claimant. He pleaded
guilty to the charge on the first
OF June following. and was fined $50 in addition
to the payment of the costs of the suit At the
last term OF the federal court he was again in
dicted for similar offense, and this case is now
pending, but will probably come up for trial at
the fall term,

A FUGITIVE CAPTURED.
NahOning County, o., Officers Find a Much
Wanted Man in This City.

Last spene a burglar entered the house of
Farmer Zimmerman, near Youngstown. o. Not
satisfied with his booty The fellow drove all the
inmates out doors. One john II. Lewis, of uu
envlable reputation, was suspected of doing the
crime, and an indictment in Mahoning county
was returned against him. Sheriff Walker and
ether officers Of that locality have been search
ing for Lewis and on one or two occasions ran
across his path, but either from fear on the part
of the officers, because Lewis was looked upon as
o desperate, or his shrewdness, lie escaped
arrest until yesterday morning Lewiss mother
lives at No. 270 Chestnut street, this city. and
there he was thought to be. Sheriff Walker and
Detective Gardner came here, and with the
assistance of Captain Colbert and Sergeant
Quigly ran Lewis down. While the
officers were making inquiries at the house
adjoining No. go, Lewis made race
for freedom He covered his tracks sufficiently
70 give the officers a long search. They finally
saw him on McCarty street but the Mahonng
county officials hesitated about arrestIng him,
which gave Lewis time TO resume his running
Colbert and Qui2ley went after him, and chased
him into shed not far away. Lewis was about
10 draw his revolver, when Colbert put his
weapon at dead ann, and The man surrendered.
He was locked up in the station-house to wait
transfer to Mahoning county.
Lewis is abont thirty years Of age, and of good
appearance lie is a wire drawer by trade, and
would be taken for anything other than a
dangerous man. He has had considerable expe-
rience with the world, talks well, and expresses
no uneasiness about going to Youngstown.
About two weeks ago he was selling tickets

chat town put the officers on his track. He left
huIriedly and went 10 Chicago, thence here to

AN OFFICER SHOT.
Patrolman Haley Suffers Seriously as the
Result Of Mistaken Identity.

A few days ago James Sheppard, & rolling mill
worker, and John Welsh, a laborer, both of
whom live in the southern part of the city, the
former on Missouri and the latter on McGinnis
street, were gossiping, when, as Welsh charges,
Sheppard talked disparagingly of the wife of
James Lucid. This story Welsh carried to
Lucid, who at once insisted on the nformer
confronting Sheppard in his presence. The
meeting of the three occurred night before last
when Sheppard denied saying anything deroga-
tory to Mrs Lucids character Welsh insisted
that he did and the lie passed, when Sheppard
drew his revolver. At this sign of danger Welsh
ran with the rolling mill man after him in hot
haste. No shots were fred but the
incident moved the mother of Welsh
to swear ont warrant yesterday
against Sheppard for carrying concealed weapons
Welsh himself to be ready for an emergency,
fearing that Sheppard would shoot him when
ever he had the opportunity procured revolver.
Last evening, about o'clock, on his way home
Welsh passed Monahan's saloon on Nc earthly
street. near Illinois. In there he saw Sheppard.
Stepping to the door Welsh began firing and
sent two shots at his enemy, one of which
touched Sheppard's forefnger and the other
went through his coat sleeve Sheppard re-
sponOe0 with shot Or TWO, after which the fight
was quieted. Many of the neghbors ran to
swell the already large crowd, while others went
after Officer Haley, VINO lives at No 424 South
Missouri street By the time that officer and
Officer Scheigert reached the scene the belliger
eats had gone home. Haley and Scheeert fol
lowed Sheppard and arrested him at his home.
With this prisoner the officers went over to
Welshs house, who saw them coming across the
common. Reaching the door, Haley left Shep
pard in the care of Scheigert and entered the
house He saw Welsh running up stairs and
followed rapidly. At turning Of the stairs
Welsh had Haley in good line and firing his re
volver the ball hit the officer in the forehead
near the left temple. The ball ran down the
cheek and lodged in the lower jaw Haley fell
and for few moments was dazed by the shot.
Recovering he, with the aid of Scheigert secured
both prisoners. who were taken to the station
house in the patrol wagon, where they were
locked up for shooting with intent to kill Off
Haey's wound, in the opinion of Police
Surgeon Hodges, who dressed it, is not serious

three he recognized as he saw them coming to-
