BOTH WANT THE CHILD.
A Divorced Couple Com batting in the Courts
for Custody Of Daughter.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July 25.-E. Y. Steb
bins, of Chicago, arrived in St. Joseph to-
night IN search of his child, whom it is
thought is the one taken in custody by the
police as the missing Annie Tessie Red
mond. MIR. Stebbins' visit Is to secure
possession OF his little girl, and he will at
once place the matter in the hands Of the
authorities. The sensational arrest of Mr..
White and his wife in this city
for having in their possession a
child who answered the description of
annie Tessie Redmond, was known
in Chicago the morning it occurred, and
was the talk Of the day. The interviews
with Mrs. White, were published in
Chicago, and through those Stebbins
learned of the fact that the child in St.
Joseph, supposed to be Annie TesSie Red
mCnd, answered the description OF his own,
which had been taken by his divorced wife
two weeks ago. IL the lower court Mrs.
" hite-E. +. Stebbins' divorced wife-was
given the care and custody of her child, but
obebeins, who keeps a boarding house at
4l9 State street, Chicago, Immediately
commenced proceedings in the superior
coart to gain the possession of the child,
alleging that she is incapable of taking
care OF it. The authorities IN this city will
be called upon to decide the matter.
II DO not care for him one way or the
other" Mrs. " bite SAID, and 1t Is lmma-
terial TO me what he does"
About two weeks ago a woman, giving
her name as Mrs. Suebbins, was arrested in
Chicago for disorderiy conduct. IL was in
view of this fact that Stebbins commenced
suit to secure possession of his child and
1t was ayowed iii the petition that she was
an unfit custodian of the child. She was
brought into court and gave as her ad-
dress number on Calumet ave-
nue., but the officers learned in searching
for her a few days later that 1t was
a vacant lot. The child and she were then
located on the West Side, and Saturday
two weeks ago she again appeared in court
after it had adjourned, but, on giving her
promise to return the following Monday
the court officials allowed her to
go. Since then and until the arrest in
this city their whereabouts have been I'M
known.
Mrs. White says that Stebbins has given
her SO much trouble that she was COM
PEELED to leave Chicago, and it would
seem now that he is determined to follow
up every clew.

GENERAL HARRlSON'S DAY

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-Another Illinois
delegation of about fifteen hundred came
to visit General Harrison today They
hailed from Paris and the neighboring
towns in Edgar and Cole counties. The
delegation contained more farmers and
country people than any that has here
tofore arrived. General Harrison well
coined them cordially in a brief speech, a
portion of which WAS devoted to a
tribute to Gen. John A. Logan. In clos
ing he appealed to the Young voters to cast
their lot with the party Of great achieve
ments. A delegation of colored men was
also received.
In the afternoon the general attended
the base ball game and seemed to particl-
pate in the interest and satisfaction mani
tested at the third drubbing the Chicago
club has received this week at the hands
of the Hoosier nine. Two hundred Tip
pecanoe voters called this afternoon.

stained and rag ,ed clothing. He said about
two weeks ago be was upon the dry Dano,
the bed of stream dry tor years, hen
hanging to the limb of trees. he found pet
ticOats, a chemise and other articles OF FEM

over the mouldering remains of large
mattress, Were the bones of w6man,
beached white Near b, was little baby,s
corpse. The skull of the skeleton was gone
and only the legs and riosIemainei. Cling
ing to the torn garments were a few strands
or bright red hair. 1t is su pposed that the
woman had been dead about year. How
ever, figured calico dress hang rig on
tree did not appear to have been exposed 20
the elements more than mooth. A camp
ing outfit was found aud there was no

1t has been Uncovered that William Tur-
ner and his father, who own land in the
neIghborhood, found the skeleton as long
ago as January last and carr led the skull to
a .Oeal ply sician, who said upon examsna-
ton that the woman had been killed by cor
rOsive POISON. The chemise, which is still
intacr, must have bsen worn by female Of
more than ordinary SIZE, as there is a great
br- adth Of shoulder.
The fact that tbs remains were found in a
place where there was no water that the

INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-The negro Dem.
ocratic national conference assembled here
| this morning. A resolution endorsing
Cleveland and Thurman was unanimously
adopted. There was great wrangle on
the report of the committee ON permanent
organization The committee presented
majority and minority report. Thomas
Brown, of Springfield, Illinois, presented
the majority report, which recommended
Prot. Peter H. Clark, of Ohio, for perma-
nent chairman and Thomas Fortune, OF
New York, permanent secretary, and h. A.
Payne. of Illinois, sergeant alarms. JOS.
Houser, of Illinois, presented the minority
report, which named J. Milton
Turner for permanent chairman
1t was nearly o'clock when Secretary
Plummer, an avowed Turner partisan
announced that the vote stood a tie 81 for
Clark and 80 for Turner This announce
meht was the signal for an uprising that
for a few moments bid fair to overwhelm
and trample in the dust the half dozen re-
porters at the press table, including col
ored lady reporter for the Detroit Plain
dealer There was a wild rush toward
PlummeI and cries of fraud, thief" and
your liar We're echoed from all sides of
the hail. The friends of Clark gathered
around Plummer and Turner's shook their
fists angrily at Plummer denouncing him
in profane term. Finally VIM. Scott. the
Cairo editor. who was so conspicuously
endeavOring to protect and defend Plum
mer, was struck in the face by some one.
This was an insult only blood could
avenge, and Scott drew revolver from
his pocket and selected Mail Agent Ogleby,
of Columbus, o., as his victim. Matters
were now at a white heat, and the local
spectators, both white and black, at the
sight of pistols, made a mad rush for the
door and tumbled pell-mell down stairs.
Meantime Ogleby and half dozen others
had drawn their firearms and bloodshed
seemed imminent, when a colored police
showed the struggling combatants into the
effectually tried to shoot one another
Scott and Ogleby were placed under
arrest, but the officer was prevailed upon
to release them, declaring he did SO
chiefly because he wss colored Republican.
Many delegates had also fed during the
fracas. Chairman Shelton finally secured
order and announced that he knew Score
tary Plummer'S figures to be incorrect.
The true vote was 80 for Clark and 30 for
Turner, and he therefore declared Peter H.
Clark, of Ohio, the permanent presiding
officer of the conference, which then ad- |
iourned midst confusion until 10 o'clock
tomorrow.
At late hour it is ascertained Mail
Agent Ogleby has left the city to escape
arrest. He struck Scott several severe
blows about the head and a warrant was
issued for him tonight.
