A Frozen Baby Recoyers.

A remarkable lilo stratlon of WI at a
newly born baby that was frozen stiff
can stand without killing tits report ted
from Boston. The report is that on
Sunday night, January 31st, q police
man found wrapped in sheet and
lying on the ground in court off High
street, the body OF a female child, about
two weeks old. The temperature was
at zero, and, as 1t afterward proved, the
body had been lying where found for
eighteen hours. II was, of course,
frozen stiff. The policeman carried Ii
to the station house, and thence 1t was
taken to tie undertaker's on Howard
street. The only convenient spot fol
placing 1t was upon board a few feet
from stove in which a hot fire was
burning.
The medical examiner was sent for
but he did not arrive until three hours
later. When he reached the shop hs
took off the sheet from the little corpse
| to look for some mark that might lead
to the discovery of the mother. To his
utter astonishment the baby quietly
opened Its eyes, as though just awaken
ing from nap. Proper treatment
was at once applied and the little one
was soon restored to life and apparent
vigor. DIR. Harris, the medica al exami.
ner, declared it a most remarkable
case.
| It was fortunate, he said, that the
police did not suspect that the child
might be alive. Had they done so they
would doubtless have resorted to hot
applicants and similar methods TO re
store warmth and vitality. The result
would have been sure death. The
gradual thawing in the moderate tenn
perature Of the undertaker's 3 shop had
been enough to rekindle the almos
distinguished spark of life. The child
was finally taken to the Chsrdon STREE
Home.
The police began to search for the
mother of the waif. The sheet in W which
the little one had been wrapped bore
the stamp Of the Mclean Lying in Hos.
pital. 1t was learned that four female
children had been born there at the pro
bable date of the little ones birth. .Thei,
mothers had been discharged two ol
three days previous to the officers
visit.
The four women wers looked for.

INDIAN HABITS.
Story of a Little Girl Lately Rescued
from Captivity.

o The story of Mr.. Peck's little niece, who
was recently rescued from the Indians.
throws new light Oh the habits of the hos
tiles.
The name of the child is Trinidad Berdan,
and her age is ten years.
She says-reports the Tombstone, Ariz.,
special to the st. Louis Republican-that
during her captivity she was almost con-
stantly travelling, but the Indians always
stopped for meals and at right. They had
plenty of tortillas, coffee, beef and nearly
every day beefsteak, of which she was al
ways given plenty. She never saw anyone
killed. She often heard firing, but was
told that the bucks were killing beef. She
never saw soldiers nor anyone during her
captivity. The nearest she came TO seeing
anybody was one night when the Indians
passed so near Magdalena that she heard a
band playing in the plaza. From what the
child states the Indians must have carried
her over a large scope of country.
She says that they were at one time in the
mountains where there was large number
of squaws, another time camped on the top
of high mountain where the indians made
big fire and smoke. The following night
great number of Indians came in, and the
man in command (evidently Geronimo) sent
them away, five and six together, in fifteen
or twenty different directions. She thinks
there were about thirty in the band she
travelled with, but she was always kept in
the rear and could not tell very accurately
the number nor what the bucks did. She
was treated as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. given plenty to
eat every day. The greatest hardship the
child experienced was being compelled to
ride barebacked day after day through,
brush and over a rough country.
She says when VeDZuela's men attacked
The Indians at Saracachi the main body of
Indians had gone on ahead and only about
seven or eight were with her when the Mex
leans marched on them. The stories current
of bad treatment by the bucks are all false.
She seldom spoke to a buck during her stay
with ,ha Indians. A squaw would not let a
buck come near her. Tie acting governor
of the state of Sonora sent an order to Mag.
dalena Monday that the child be brought tt.
HermosillO, where she now is the guest OF
the state and great heroine.

EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURE.
Amos Evers's Experience at the Tall
Of a 4th OF July Kite.

Alpena, W. Va. special to New York
Sun: Amos Evers of this village is the
hero of one of the most remarkable adven-
lures which ever fell to the lot of any man.
1t has been the custom for the male portion
of the village to make huge kites and fly
them with thick cords. This year 1t was
determined that all previous efforts should
be eO1tdOne. A monster kite of the follow
ing dimensions was constructed: Extreme
height, Q feet inches; width across the top,
4 feet inches; width across the middle,
feet inches. The framework was built of
tough hickory, shaved thin and stayed with
one-eighth inch copper wire. A double
thickness of heavy muslin was stretched on
each side of the frame, and the place for
fastening the flying cord was dOubly braced
with yellow pine scantling quarter Inch
thick. Into this was screwed a ring bolt,
which was clamped on the other side with
an iron pin. The ring itself was five inches
in diameter and capable of bearing four or
five hundred weight.
The kite complete weighed niEety-six
pounds. The tail was made of sixteen
foo. rope weighted with lead. Instead of
the usual flying cord 200 yards of closely
wound manila rope, very light but as strong
as a double link chain, were procured.
When the kite was finished there was
general jOlifcation. The kite was secured
| to a tree and Evers, who was pretty drunk,
watched it while the others were imbibing.
Eyers after time got tired of holding the
rope and wound it around his own body.
There was stiff breeze blowing at the time,
and when the men came out of the grocery
there was the kite high in the air and Evers
hanging on to the tail. He quickly disap-
peared from view and as no trace OF him
could be found during the next few days he
was given up for lost.
Eight days after his fight he walked into
the Village and told how he had been carried
to Milback, Hampshire county, seventy
miles as the crow flies, from Alpena. In his
tourney he crossed seven rivers and two
ranges of the Alleghanies. He was discOv
cred by two gentlemen in his unconsciou:
condition, who attended to him and accom-
panied him back to Alpena.

killed David Rea in a quarrel over some
trifiing matter. They were upon co lviction
sentenced to the penitentiary for ninety-nine
years. The supreme court reversed this
judgment and upon second trial they were
sentenced to hang. A second appeal TO the
supreme court resulted in this judgment
being affirmed and they were sentenced to
hang July 18. Everything connected with
the killing is more or less complicated, the
prisoners claiming that it was in self-de-
fence. The petitions to the governor were
lengthy and influential. and 1t appeared to
be the general wish of everyone that he
commute the sentences to life impI isonment.

The Fiend Abroad.

MILESTONE, N. j., July1. There is quite
an excitement among the farmers and resi-
dents about this place over villainous at
tempt to poison the family of William
Boggs, resident of a small town called
Weston, near here. Mr.. Boggs went to his
well to obtain drink, few nights ago,
and after drawing bucketful drank cup
OF the water. After very short time he
was seized with violent pains throughout
the stomach and head and became danger
ously sick. A doctor was summoned, and
after hard work the mans life was saved,
An examination made later exposed the
presence of q large quantity of paris green
in the well, the surface being fairly GOV cred
with the poison. Recently all the chickens
and ducks Of B0ggs were killed, two cows
poisoned and . valuable hunting dog stolen
A reward has been offered for any informa
tion which may lead To the arrest of th'
perpetrators.

A Snobbish Minister.

London cable special, July 5: London is
full of Americans and the Americans are
full of patriotism and indignation. Minister
Phelps has seen Ito discontinue the custom
Of more than half century and does not
give public reception at the legation to-
day. Instead he gives a private party to
such Englishmen and Americans as have
been hOnOred by card. The denunciation
of this piece of snobbery is outspoken on
all sides. Even the London newspapers
coupled the announcement with a quiet
sneer. Anything more un-American could
hardly be conceived and his fitness to rep
James is closely questioned. The American
exchange celebration was also given up be-
cause Mr.. Phelps refused to attend or
countenance il.

In November, 1862, Gen. Fitz John Porter
was arraigned before court martial for dis
obedience of orders OH the 10Th of August
previous-the second battle of Bull Run, Gen
Pope being the commanding officer, and by
the finding of the court he was dismissed
from the army and prohibited forever from
holding Office under the Government. The
sentence was regarded as Unjust by Gen. Por-
ter and his friends, and they have ever since
been striving to secure his restoration to rank
and honor. At last they have succeeded, a
bill for that purpose having passed the
present Congress and been signed by the
President. Fitz John Porter was born al
Portsmouth, N. H. Aug. 80, 1922, and grad
uated from West Point 1s45. He served with
distinction through the war with Mexico,
being severely wounded at the assault on
the capital, Sept, 13. 1S47. In the Virginia
PenInsuIar, campaign he was director OF the
siege Of YORKTOWN, and upon evacuation Of
that place was placed in command Ofthe 5th
corps, and fought the battles of Hanover
Court House, Mechcanicsville and Cold Har-
Dor; and was present with 1t at Antietam.
