London, England, who has been in this
city since Thursday, returned to New
York 10 day, expecting to be back in Chi
G. go within ten days. His mission here,

Cincinnati and Chicago to Baltimore.

the Midland railway. A charter has al

thus. for a system extending from Chica-
go to London, practically under one man

assistance

a Ludicrous Scene.

81. LOUIS, Mo-, March IA ludicrous,
but exciting, scene occurred last evening at
the relay depot at East st. Louis. It was
reported that the outgoing Louisville and
Nashville passenger train due at TBS had
a number of crooks aboard, and the
police decided to capture them,
and when the train arrived entered
the cars with drawn revolvers. A
passenger yelled, "Train robbersi' and a
general stampede ensued. The majority of
the passengers escaped from the train
while the policemen were emptying their
revolvers over their head S. One gentle
proved to be a railroad director, who ex-
planned his speed by saying he had quite a
sum of money ON his person. One man
only was arrested, and he was locked up
because he could not satisfactorily identify

The Fortunate Discovery of an Instru-
ment Bequeathing a Vast Estate.
POINT PLEASANT, w. Va, March 4.-Da-
vid Baylor, a prominent citizen of Augusta
County, Virginia, died few days ago.
The discovery of the will made by him was
under peculiar circumstances. Mrs. Cook
was reared by him, and he promised to
give her an old-fashioned clock of his. He
also said he would do something for her
two sons before his death. No will
could be found. and at q sale of
his property Mrs. Cook bought for
$50 the old hall clock which had been prom
ised her. In attempting to fix a loose screw
she discovered an envelope sealed with
wax and marked 'David Baylor's will"
When this paper was opened it proved to
be his will, in his own handwriting, by
which he had devised all his property, both
real and personal, to Mrs. Cook and her
two sons, share and share alike, except
$1,000 to the Union Theological Seminary,
Presbyterian school near Farmville, Va.
His estate is appraised at 100000.

Shocking State of Affairs at the Mt. Joy
Pa.) Orphans School.
WASHINGTON, March Especial dis
patches from Harrisburg, Pa, give pain
full account of the shocking abuses found
by the Governor of the State at the Mt.
Joy Soldiers Orphan School. The story of
the boys is sad one. At the investigation
a sickly-looking boy named Smith testified
that he had not been supplied with
clean stockings for two months, and
when, at the request of the Governor, he
took off his shoes, his stockings were found
to be mere rags. The Governor ordered
new stockings to be brought for the boys,
and they put them on. 1t was also discov-
cred that the little blue cotton shirts the
orphans wore were used for weeks before
washing, and they not only wore them in
day time, but also slept in them at night.
Manager Kreider, who has had charge of
give some idea of the cost of running the
institution, produced bills which showed
the average cost of board per day for each
scholar to be 13 Is cents. The investiga-
bers Of Post IS, q. A. R., Of Harrisburg.
The Governor and party to-day visited the
bath room. In. the little room, ten feet
square, they found sixteen boys hqddled
packed with boys like sardines. As the
little fellows clambered out of the bath
tub they either had to dry them
selves on wet towels or huddle shiv-
ering around the hot boiler until
they were dried. Among the number were
boys with scrofulous diseases, and all
wiped on the same towels. The members
of the Grand Army from this city secured
the socks taken from the boy Smith, and
brought them here. Smiths father
was formerly Commander of the
Grand Army Post in this city. Man
ager Kreider was asked about the boys re-
igious instructions. He said they got some,
but he did not know about the girls, who
we're Yer cared FLO Tor by the matrons. Ihomas
ing shirt he put on December g, and had
worn it day and night ever since. His coat
and vest he got from home, because the
school gave him none. At one time during
the examination Attorney General Cassidy
was SO overcome that tears filed his eyes.
The investigation will be continued Mon

The Female Portion of the Saints Uphold
the Doctrine.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, March IA large
meeting Of Mormon women was held in
the theater yesterday till late hour.
Many speeches were made and a protest
adopted. The speech to uphold the right of
women to go into polygamy said that
thousands of women in the east, now in
prostitution, would be glad to be made
wives such as the speakers were. 1t was
maintained that the Government here
had no right to say women
shall not marry. 1t might as
well take the opposite course, and compel
virgins from cloisters to marry. Such
social preferences should be respected.
The Government had no right to interfere
The protest declared that womanhood had
been outraged in the Utah courts in ques-
tions about expected maternity, fathers of
children, etc. Suffrage was declared to be
vested right in women here not to be at
tackled. An emphatic denial was made
that they voted otherwise than according
to their free will ssNoble womenn who
had refused to answer questions pro-
pounded by the courts were eulogized, and
the action of Judge Zane and U. s. Attor-
ney Dickson in requiring testimony from a
legal wife against her husband in unlawful
cohabitatiOn cases was condemned. The
wives and mothers of the United States
were called upon to come to the assistance
of the women of Utah in their resistance to
Interference with their rights. A commit
tee was appointed to memorialize the
President on the subject.
