AN ITALIAN GIRL SOLD.
A Pretty Emigrsnt Rescued From Bond

A Pretty Em'ersnt Rescued From Bond
age by the Italian Consul.
New York special: An interesting case
came before Vice.Consul Monaco to-day.
Vincenzo Pelligrini, a Villa msburg rail-
road laborer, claimed Rafella Rossa, a
dark.skianed but neat Italian immigrant,
as his atfianeed wife sent over to him from
Italy. He Was aided by a with-red old
Italian woman. Madalena Sorego, who
claims relationship with the g'rl. Mr..
Mario, manager Of the Italian Emigrant
Society. who had been appealed to by the
girl for protection, stated the facts in the
case as follows: The girl was steerags
passenger on the stea mship Bolivia. which
arrived from Naples yesterday. On land
ing at Castle Garden she said she was
alone in this country, without relatives,
mestic. Before che could be placed else
where, Pelligrini aud the woman Sorego

Province of Salerno. Rafiella g mother, had
consented that the girl should marry Vim.
cenzo. Pelhgrini therefore claimed the
girl as his wife, both because he had sent
$40 to Raffella's mother and because he
had already married her by proxy. The
poor girl looked at Pelligrini in terror. He
is q low browed fellow about 35 years Of
age, with a big scar on HIS bRehead. She
had not seen him before. She said that
she
WOULD NOT GO WITH HIN.
She also denied that the old woman was
her godmother or had any claim upon her.
Her protestations reached the ears oi Mr..
Marco and he caused the girl to be shell
tered in the garden for the night. Pelli-
grini was not dismayed by his first set
back. He and the old woman put in an
appearance at the Consulate this morn
ing and brought three other members Of the
Sorego family. Mr.. Mario put them all
through q severe cross-examination and
proved that the first couple had lied in
many particulars. Pelligrini had to ad.
NIT that he
DID NOT KNOW THE GIRL,
but had sent Riano $16 to have a girl sent
over. He did not know which girl it would
be and only claimed Rafela because she was
alone. He thought she must be the one.
Raiella, who looked modest and rather
pretty. said that her father was dead and
her mother ili-treated her. She was told
to come on the ship and she had to obey.
She never heard OF the old woman Sorego
aud she was sure that she was either her
aunt nor her godmother. She did not want
to be married, but to 50 to work. Tne
VIce-Con-ul decided that neither Pelligriui
nnr the woman should have the girl, Mr..
Marco said that the Emigration, Society
would protect her until sh, got employ
meut.

CONSIDERING CONSPIRACY AVS.
Representative Gathering of Laboring
 Men in Troy.

TROY, N. Y, Sept. 18.-About 100 repre- sentatives from sixty-three labor organiza- tlons in this state met in Harmony hall. Their purpose Is to adopt some plan whereby the conspiracy laws of this state, which are only enforced against labor men, 1t is claimed. can be repealed or amended at the next ses- sion of the legislature. In its makeup the con- Ventlon can be favorably compared with any gathering of labor men in the country The delegates were wage earners, although some of them are officers of their organizations There were no "labor politi- clans" on the floor of the convention, although there were several watching the proceedings from the galleries. Should any attempt be made to switch the convention off the track 1t has started on there will be a row. There are sufficient honest radicals and conserva- tlves present to put an extinguisher on any individual or score of men who attempt any such tricks, and the chairman, Ed. Finlzle- stone, president of the Journeymen Barbers' union, of New York, may be relied on to pre- vent any such scheme, if his little speech on assuming can be relied on.

 In order to pay the claims arising from this disaster, it was deemed best to use for that purpose all the available resources, and as a consequence the interest on the first mortgage bonds due Jan. and July 1, 1888, was left unpaid. The claims amounted tp S1e0,O and have now been houidated by the Farm ers Loan and Trust company paying S45, ,O0O in cash and by the issue of S135, GOO debent- ure scrip, bearing per cent. interest from April l last, redeemable April 1, 1893, or sooner, at the option of the company. The holders of $3,612, 900 bonds have already ac- cepted this settlement After paving S233.- 6lS in liquidation of every claim arising from the accident, the company's indebtedness at present, beyond its issue of s4,5OO, 900 first mortgage bonds, is $304, ,196.

William E. 4sladssons's Marvellous Memory

SpeakiSg of William F. Gladstone, re- cent observer says: ''There Is no subject on which he will not talk. His memory is the marvel of everybody who has been his asso- ciate or acquaintance. Scare topic can be started on which he has not store of facts He takes little thought of his audience or of what may be supposed to interest them. His subject interests him, and it never occurs to him that it may not interest others. And he is quite right. In his hands whatever it be is entertaining He has been known to dis course to his neighbor through the greater part of long dinner on the doctrine of copyright and international copyright. His neighbor was beautiful woman, who cared no more for copyright than for the Chero- kees. She listened to him throughout with unfailing delight. "-New York World.
