Two Gifted Children.

Two remarkable children, Ameri-
can born, startled the literary world
with q volume of poems entitled
Apple Blossoms" which was pub
.lished by Putnam in1S7S. The work
contained some hundred odd verses,
principally on the subject Of Nature
in it's varying phases, md breathing
throughout truepoetic spirit. The
authors were Dora Read Goodale
and Elaine Goodale, the daug hters
of a gentleman farmer in the Berk-
shire Hills. At the time. "Apple
Blossoms was published the sisters
were II and IA years OF age respec-
lively, though they. had. both been
writing since they were 8. There is
no evidence that the children were
helped in their work by their parents,
who, though they were people of cul,
ture and fond of literature, had neve.
dipped in the Pierian spring.
Here is a specimen Of the lyrics pro.
duced by Elaine Goodale at the age
of 10, which, though not profound,
is written with a spontainety and a
freshness that is charming:
ASHES OF ROSES.
Soft on the sunset sky
Bright daylight closes,
Leaving when light doth die
Pale hues that minging lie
Ashes of roses!
When loves warm sun is set,
Loves brightness closes; rs
Eyes with hot tears are wet,
In hearts there linger yet
Ashes OF roses.
Dora Read Goodale wrote at tht
age Of 10 the following stanzas,
which will show the child's aptitude
for verse, though it is not filed with
the spirit of nature that permeates
most of her metrical efforts. nere
is good color effect in these lines,
whether they come from a child's
hands or not: 800
sky of scurrying clouds
Thatfiy on dappled sails,
And with purple oars
70 the sunset shores VI @ 3
Are blown by the evening gales
They reach the golden gate,
They catch the golden glow,
And with purple oars
At the sunset shores
They wait while the wind breathes low.
Many children of the older growth
would not be ashamed to sign their
names to such verses. The writer. is.
a young lady now, and her poems
appear here and there in the maya:
zines. She polishes her poems more
than of old, butt is questionableif she
has improved on the fresh inspiration
that was born in happy-hearted
childhood, OF. if she understands nat
ure as well when she lived at Sky
Farm, among the woods ofthe Berk-
shire Hills. ashington Star.

LONDON'S NEW GOVERNMENT.
To be Controlled by Men Pledged to
Important Reforms.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Jan. 1S-Returns are at hand of the
London county council election from upward
of forty out of ffty-eight constituencies. These
leave little doubt that the new body will con-
tain majority of members pledged to what is
known as the progressive policy. One great
feature of the elections is the rout of almost
all the members of the discredited board of
works. Even men belonging to that body who
always stood out against jobbery and corrup-
ton Jared badly in almost every case at the
hands of the electors, to whom the very name
Of the board of works is extremely repugnant.
WHAT THE NEW GOVERNMENT MEANS.
Broadly speaking, London's new government
contains majority pledged to advocate the
control of the police by the ratepayers instead
of by central government: taxation on the
ground of values; the abolition of coal and
wine dues; the abolition of a separate munich
pality for the small area technically called the
city of London; the equalization Of rates; the
prohibition of sweating" contracts; the pay
ment of trades union rates of wages in connec-
ton with Official contracts; the provision Of
public baths, wash-houses. and municipal lodg-
ing houses; improved housing of the poor and
public control of food. gas, water, and convey
ances. The most of these subjects cannot be
dealt with by the council, but its advocacy of
any particular bill affecting London will nat
urally have great weight with parliament
The socialists, yesterday. were rejected

The Corpse Was Petrified.
A BODY FOUND PERFECTLY PRESERVED But v,
HEAVY AFTER BEING BuRIEp sIxrEEN YEAR

A BODY FOUND PERFECTLY PRESERVED But VERY
HEAVY AFTER BEING BURIED SIXTEEN YEARS.
WINNIPEG, MIN, Jan. 18.-A remarkable case
OF what is alleged to be petrifcation has Just
come to light Sixteen years ago q half-breed
named Rolade buried his wife about 20 miles
from this city. A few days ago he, with some
friends, exhumed the remains, intending to
carry them 70 another burying place. Upon
opening the coffin the body was found perfectly
preserved, the eyes and mouth being partly
open and the hair quite black and natural.
When an attempt was made to lift the remains
twas found impossible, as they were completely
petrifed. Examination showed that q small
spring OF alkali water had been running through
the coffin and the action of the water on the re-
mains had caused petrifcation. Assistance
was procured and the remains were raised to
the surface and transferred to the city, where
they were weighed. The weight was found to
be 700 pounds

THE SCHOOL SITE INQUIRY.
MIR. TauIbee's Committee Meets and
Calls for Information.

The committee appointed by the Speaker
yesterday under Representative Taulbee's reso-
luton to investigate the circumstances attend
ing the purchases of school sites and other real
estate by the District Commissioners held its
first meeting this afternoon. The committee
met in the civil service committee room, in the
dark depths of the basement The meeting
was held with closed doors and was
not long. The chairman, Mr.. Taulbee, said
to a STAR reporter that it was not yet deter
mined whether the committee would hold pub
lie sessions or not. At to-day's session the
committee decided to address letter to the
Commissioners requesting of them statement
showing the sites purchased during the past
four years, the amounts paid the persons from
whom the purchases were made, the names of
the agents employed, and the amounts re-
ceived by the agents. The committee will
meet again tomorrow. 1t is expected that the
Commissioners reply to the inquiries made
will be on hand early. That win furnish a
basis for the committee to work on. Mr.. Taul-
bee said to-day that he hoped to get at the
taking of testimony early next week.

ROBBED BY ITS CASHIER.
What Caused the Failure Of the Pitts
burg Farmers and Mechanics Bank.


burg Farmers and Mechanics Bank.
PrrrsBuRa, Jan. ls.-The arrest last night Of
Henry F. yoigt, late cashier Of the defunct
Farmers and Mechanics hank. Of the South Side.
for the alleged misappropriation Of funds
amounting to nearly 500. 600. caused a great
deal Of excitement in that section Of the city.
Mr.. Voigt was cashier of the bank for nineteen
years. Last April he resigned to go into other
business. and in September the bank failed. q
heavy shortage having been discovered After
the suspension an expert was put 10 work on
the books, and the arrest. il is alleged, was
made on information received from him. On
Tuesday President Sorg and Hugh Lafferty and
John Nusser, directors Of the defunct institu-
ton, went before Alderman Schaffer and pre-
ferred four charges against voigt OF
EMBEzZLEMENr, PERJURY AND FALsIFyrNo 40
COUNTS.
The matter was kept quiet until last evening,
when voigt was arrested and placed in Jail at
midnight in default Of $40. 600 bail President
Sorg stated to a reporter that at the time OF
the failure he felt certain the great discrep-
ancy between the individual and general ledg-
ers, showing a deficit of over $500 600, indi-
Gated criminalty, but he was unwilling n make
any charges until the experts had gone over
the books. The investigation has not vet been
completed, but he felt the discoveries made by
the expert fully warranted the arrest Of the
cashier
vo1Gr NEGLEcTs A CHANCE TO SAVE HIMSELF.
Mr.. Sorg also said that il had been known for
some time to the officers OF the bank that the
deficit rested with Mr.. voigt. He was given
opportunity to make il good. but when the
stockholders found that he did not intend 20,
and that they must go down in their own pock-
cts to meet the loss, they decided on this ac-
tion. They found also that Mr.. yoigt's means
were in such shape that they could not
be reached by law, and il was decided TO pro-
ceed with the arrest. For some weeks past a
detective has shadowed Mr.. yoigt to and from
his home at Castle shannon.
Mr.. Berg, present cashier Of the bank said
that at the time he first took hold of the books
Mr.. Volgt was given opportunity to straighten
his accounts, but failed 10 do so. 1t was stated
this morning by South Side man who had
some knowledge Of the affairs of the bank that
probably others outside of the bank will be
found to have been implicated in its wreck.

NO GENERAL DEsTITUTION.
The Stories from Walsh County, Dak.,
Greatly Exaggerated.

PARK RIVER, DAK., Jan. ls.-In regard to the
destitution existing in Walsh county, among
the farmers, Lieut.. Roudlez says that he Wis
tied the region with County Commissioners
Nicholson and Levany. He says further:
With the exception of a few individual cases,
l found no general destitution or distress. The
majority of farmers are hard up, and should be
assisted in procuring seed wheat The houses
we visited, some fifty or more in number, were
found TO be warm and as comfortable as could
be expected in a country where the settlers are
newcomers, and generally start farming with
out money or means Of making living, except
their good health and strength. The people
we met were warmly clad, and lived as COM
fortably in their houses as their nationality
generally do, and certainly much better than
these same people live in their own country.

HAYTIAN TREACHERY.
What Looks Like a Deliberate Attempt
to Sink the Haytian Republic.

PoRT-Au-PRINcE, HAYTI, Jan. 3.-The steam
ship Haytien Republic was run into by the
Haytian gunboat Nouvelle .voldrogue on the
night of December 80, inficting but slight
damage to either vessel. The Haytian gun.
boat was entering the harbor at full speed
and could have steamed to anchorage without
any change of course, but when within twenty
yards of the Haytien Republic her helm was
suddenly put to port, and remained so until
she struck that vessel. Then her engines were
reversed, and she backed to a distance Of 200
yards. She then again steamed at full speed
until short distance from the steamer. when
her course was slightly changed. thus Just
missing her. The gunboat was hailed both
times. but no answer was made, neither did her
captain attempt to ascertain the amount Of
damage she had done or offer assistance. AZ
ter ascertaining the damage done, the Galena
sent an armed boats crew to the offending gun
boat, where a statement was made that Jam
ming of the tiller ropes was the cause of the
collision. 1t is the opinion that it was a de-
lberate attempt to sink the released ship. 1t
is question whether the scheme was orig
mated by higher authority than the captain
of the gunboat.
THE GALENA DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION
A board of the Galenas officers met the next
day, and a demand for an investigation was
made upon the Haytian government. These
reports will be considered and redress de-
manded upon the return of the Galena from
Kingston. Jamaica, on January 9, where she
steamed on January to coal and communicate
by cable with the American government. On
December 81 Legitime offered to pay an in
demnity of S100, 900 to the owners of the Hay-
tien Republic. This will be accepted-one-
half payable Immediately and the remainder
in installments. The released steamer was
then, at the request of Mr.. B. L. Morse, the
owner, turned over to him by Admiral Luce
A crew will be cabled for from Kingston and
she will return to New York about February /
with a cargo of logwood.
THE BLOCKADE REGARDED AS AT AN END.
Admiral Luce has notified the Haytian gov
ernment that he considered the blockade of all
the northern ports voluntarily raised because
of the desertion of their post thereat BY all the
Haytian blockading squadron. He wrote to
Secretary Whitney that in the case Of the lille
gal seizure of any other American vessels he
would demand their release at the cannon's
mouth"
HYPPoLITE AWAITING LEGITIMEs DOWNFALL.
Legitime continues his arrest of alleged con-
spirators, many being of persons supposed to
be his supporters. No or ganized conspiracy
seems to have existed, but only individual dis

ing the overthrow of Legitime by his own peo-
pie and the peaceful surrender of the city. By
not using force he wishes to win the approval
of the southern departments of his candidacy

The Galena reached Jamaica to-day. and re-
ported all we'll on board Admiral Luce has
telegraphed for two more ships at Port-au-
Prince.
