HELP FOR THE HELPLESS.
Meeting of the Conference Of Charities
and Correction.

Meeting of the Conference Of Charitiea
and Corrections.
ST. PAUL, July 17.-At the third days
session of the Conference of Charities and
Corrections, several reports were read
from the States. The most interesting
question was whether the insane could be
better taken care Of in asylums or private
residences. It was shown that in many
cases a selection might be made OF those
who could be safely and comfortably
boarded out. Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Hayes
took very lively interest in the several
papers written on the subject Of kinder
g~artens. The report on kindereartens read
read by Miss Anna Holloway, Chairman, of
Philadelphia; q she read also from
the report of Miss Mackenzie, OF Philadel-
phia, in which the writer stated
that the past thirty years had been
memorable for the free kindergarten move-
that time the work was largely a private
experiment. The papers then CAV an in
teresting history of the development Of
kindergarten schools in st. Louis, Chicago,
San Francisco, Boston other and cities, and
the benefits to the children taught in these
schools. Miss Clara Barton, of Washing
ton, was introduced by the Chairman as
the Florence Nightingale Of the Red Cross.
She spoke at length OF the part she took in
the formation of the societies for hospital
urposes in the belligerent armies. In the
evening at the State Capitol, Hon. George
Hoadley, Ex-Governor OF Ohio, read a
highly instructive paper, entitled pardon
ing Power or Power to Pardon and Com
mute Sentences and to Parole Prisoners"
This was followed by a discussion of the
reform topics by the Governors present
and others.

Aztec A THIEF.
The St. Louis Absconding Cashier Being
Hunted For.

The St. Louis Ascending Cashier Being
Hunted For.
ST.. LOUIS, Jnly 17.-Behind the attach
ment suit which Mrs. Cornelia Sanborn
has brought against the property Of Almon
B. Thompson, the absconded cashier of the
Provident Savings Bank, is q story which,
if trce, will show Thompson's alleged
forgeries and general crookedness extended
further than was at first generally sup
posed. Some time ago Mrs. Sanborn
loaned the cashier S., 1000, secured by GER
t~iicates of bank stock as collateral. These
she placed in her strong box in the vaults
at the bank. When it became known that
the bank was embarrassed she called and
asked for her box and it wasgiven her. She
removed the certificates, and, taking them
to a broker, asked him to sell them. The
broker took the certificates and upon ex-
aiming them he found they were forged.
1t is said that Thompson had access to
Mrs. Sanborn's box, and that he substi-
tuted forged for the genuine certificates,
which he afterwards sold. Important in
formation concerning the probable where
ahouts OF the cashier vas received to-day
from Benjamin J. Wertheimer, a lawyer OF
Chicago, who states he met Thompson
in that city last Tuesday. He supposed
he was on his way to Detroit, whence he
went to Canada. To-day the first steps
in the direction Of apprehending the fugi-
tive were taken. Warrants charging him
with embezzlement and grand larceny were
issued and the Directors employed two
attorneys, Il to carry on the civil and
the other the criminal branch OF the prose-
cution. Detectives have been put upon
the case and are now busily engaged in
following up clues.

Serious Accident to Men in the New York
Aqueduct.
New YORK, July 1.-THE shaft at 17Sth
and Tenth Avenue in connection with the
new aqueduct is 12O feet deep and jagged
with rock and the bottom is rock. This
evening the night ''shift," VIM. O'Toole,
John Sullivan and Michael O'Bfien, white,
and Grant White and Jeremiah Porters,
colored, started down in the bucket, and
when about forty feet from the top a gaso-
line lamp, used to light the way down,
exploded setting fire to the clothes
of the men and in their terror they jumped
out OF the bucket and were precipitated to
the bottom, eighty feet. The noise of the
explosion and the flames that followed
were seen from above and soon the men
were lifted to the surface. O"Toole is be-
lieved to have been fatally burned about
the body; O'Brien is severely burned about
the extremities, but not fatally; Porter's
hands were s%hockingly burned and his
head is severely cut; Whites right leg and
thigh are fractured, and Sullivan's face and
hands are burned. Ali are in the hospital.

The Red Metal.

Messrs. Matthew & Webb's circular fol-
last week speaks OF the copper market al
follows:
Copper has relapsed into a monotonous
rut from which it can be forced only by
new and radical influences. There are
without doubt, fundamental influences at
work which will eventually make serious
variations in the price OF this metal, but
the problem is far from being solved. and
the question OF life with many mines and
OF cheerful paying existence with Others
still remains an open question. Some en-
thusiasts predict q 40 or so per cent.
within three years; Others who are less san
guine think that 20 per cent. may be real
lied; not a few look confidently for still
lower rates, and no one expects ever again
to see the metal at the good old prices
OF 20 to rs cents a pound. Prices for the
week have been barely maintained at New
York, where * cents have been the best
obtainable bid for Lake, while Baltimore
Oxford and other brands nave shaded these
figures even down to 9A cents. The sales
have reached 600 900 pounds. From the
producing districts reports come in variedly;
but on the whole showing a decrease in
production rather than the contrary. The
only point which promises 'big things" is
the Allouez mine, which may very possibly
turn out 1000, 900 pounds within a year.
The London price has continued to be
steady, with Chill bars $50 7s Cd and best
selected CAB 7s.

A Well Merited Word.

The value OF baking powder consists IL
! the fact that the proportion of alkali ano
acid is exact, and there is no danger O
having yellow biscuits from an excess o.
soda, or heavy. ones from an excess OF acid
It is probable that many of the powders
are adulterated, some with injurious sub
stances, and others with harmless add
tions to increase the bulk and consequently
the profits. In our own family we have
excellent results from the use OF the Royal
Baking Powder. We have no reason to
think that it contains any harmful ingredi.
emit. Those who object to the use OF bak.
ing powder because OF adulteration must
needs be very sure OF the purity OF the sod
and cream of tartar they use in place OF
the powder.-N Y. Christian Union.

A Special Council Meeting,

A special meeting of the City Council was
held last evening, Mayor Frank presiding
and six Aldermen present, to consider a
petition presented by the owners OF job
and express wagons, who, at the previous
meeting, were prohibited from congrega.
ting within the city limits while awaiting
employment. The petition was numer-
ously signed by business men, and prayed
the Council to amend the job wagon ordin-
ance SO that it would permit not more
than two wagons to stand in front OF
any business house within the city limits
whose proprietor or manager is willing
that they should stand there. After some
discussion the prayer Of the petitioners
was granted, and the revised ordinance
goes into effect this morning.
Marshal Jolly's bill for feeding prisoners,
amounting to 1928, was ordered paid, and
the meeting adjourned.
The absent ALDERMEN were Messrs. Bsal
and Oweley.

The Portrait.

The following is the production of a little
~13-year-old girl in the far East upon the
receipt of q portrait of her brother, who ID
in Butte. The verse was the letter of &C.
knowledgment:
After fond and tedious waiting we have just re-
ceived to hand
The portrait of my brother from a far and dis
tant land.
And We gaze on it with pleasure, and we prize it,
oh, 80 dear,
Though tits only just q likeness, for our brother
is not here.
Oh! 80 far away he's wandered, out towards
Pacidc's sea,
To a place that's called Montana, that we may
never see.
Where the sunshine plays at noontide, dancing
lightly over all,
Hangs the still and quiet portrait Of our brother
on the wall. S. J. D.

A BREAK FOR BEE
How "The Sheeney Kid" Led Two

-" 0AAOOAVy A1W LOU w
Deputy SheriM . Midnight Dance.
Shortly after midnight five pistol shot,
in rapid succession awoke the people slum
bering in the vicinity of the Court House
The shots were fired by Deputy Sheriff.
Wyman and Shortsleeve, and their large,
was the flying form OF Henry Myers, alias
"Sheeney Kid" who had escaped from
jail. The officers fired as they ran, and
none Of their shots took effect. but they
overlook the fugitive and escorted him
back to the jail, where he now occupies a
dungeon.
Myers was awaiting the action of the
next Grand Jury on charges of grand lar.
ceny and arson. He was arrested as one
of the ~incendiaries who fred Saville's barn,
in this city, last winter, and ran off a lot
OF stock. He was incarcerated with the
other prisoners and allowed the liberty OF
the corridors during the day. A few days
ago the water supply at the Court House
was shut of, and Jailer Shortsleeve, to keep
the prisoners supplied, filled a couple OF
barrels with water and placed them in q
of the corridor. Before locking
the prisoners up for the night
he always glanced behind these
barrels to see that none of
the men were secreted there. Last evening
he was off duty, however, and his substi-
tute failed to look behind the barrels. II
he had peeped behind one of them he
would have seen the crouching form OF
1.-THE Sheeney Kid" who had resolved to
make a bold break for liberty. As soon as
the prisoners we're locked up and the jailor
had retired to the upper end of the cor
ridor, the "Kid" climbed stealthily up the
barrels and through a hole il ''e ceiling
which had been made during tue recent
building Of an addition to the jail. His
shoeless feet made no noise as he crept
along the raiters until he found a skylight,
which he opened and found himself upon
stayed there until he believed all was
quiet below, and when the clock overhead
tolled the midnight hour he commenced his
descent. He re-entered the skylight and
CROPPED his way along the rafters until
he found q trap-door in the ceiling of the
room occupied by Deputy Wyman, who
was sound asleep. 1.-THE Kid" dropped to
the floor, and just as he passed through
the door the Deputy awoke and saw him.
Then the chase began. "The Kid" dashed
down the main stairway. through the main
entrance and was on Granite street when
Wyman's revolver rang out. In a moment
Shortsleeve had joined the pursuit, and
the fifth shot had been fred when "The
Kid" was collared by Shortsleeve and
marched back to captivity. you amt
much of a shot" said "The Kid" as he
was being manacled, 'but you're a h OF q
good runner"
The young desperate was nearer to
last night than he will be for a long
time.

The Blaze at POcatellO

The following additional details OF thu
big blaze last Monday night at Pocatello
are from the Eagle Rock Register of Satur
day: "Ihe fire broke out in the old depot
buildings, in the lower end of the yards al
Pocatello, causing considerable loss to
private and railroad property. The cause
Of the fire is unknown, except that children
were seen near the buildings playing with
matches q few minutes before the fire was
discovered. The buildings were occupied
by eight families, who lost everything they
possessed in the way of furniture, bedding
and provisions, barely escaping with their
lives. Immediately on the discovery OF the
fire the alarm was given, and the citizens
rushed to the scene OF the c~onflagration
and did all in their power to subdue the
destruction of property and spreading oil
the flames to the adjoining buildings and
warehouses OF Messrs. Kiesel & Co. and V.
N. c. Silva. and had it not been for the
extraordinary efforts on the part of citi.
zens these buildings would have been de.
stroyed. The loss, as far as can be ascer-
tanned, is as follows: Railroad property,
$4,000; tank and oil, belonging to the
Standard Oil Company, So 900; loss to
private families, $4,000. These families
were left entirely destitute and in view OF
this sad state of affairs, several OF our citi-
zens held a meeting in the parlors OF the
Pacific Hotel, Monday evening for the pur-
pose OF furnishing immediate relief to the
sufferers. An organization was effected
With J. W. Keeney rs Chairman; P. j.
Hughes, Secretary and John Hunter,
Treasurer, with the following gentlemen
present as an active committee: w. E.
Woozley, F. Holbrook, w. F. Calkins, V.
G. Roeder, H. G. Van Reypen, A. J. Rad
cliffe and A. H. Alexander. A subscription
list was started at the meeting with 5000,
and in less than twenty-four hours $500
subscribed by citizens OF the
town. Besides this, several gentlemen
from neighboring towns who chanced to
be here at the time subscribed literally
notably among these were Fl. NJ. Ben
nett, Of Oxford, and Mr.. Shilling, OF Og
den. The Committee met again the follow
ing evening for report. The immediate
wants OF the different families had been
relieved, and it was decided to send to
Omaha for the other n~ecessaries for house.
keeping, such as furniture, ETC., the railroad
company kindly offering transportation
from Omaha to Pocatello for such goods
as would be required. As the amount sub
scribed was found insufficient, the commit
tee has decided to close the subscription
with a grand charity ball, to be given
at the Pacific Hotel, July goth. 1t is esti-
that with the amount already sub.
together with the proceeds OF the
ball, the subscription will be swollen to
a total of $1,000.
