scene lnn ClnoInnntICnnrt.

A sensational scene was enacted Satur
day morning in Judge Outcalt's court
the Common Pleas-in Cincinnati. He
has had on hearing and under considera-
tion for several months an unusual
habeas corpus case, where two women
claim to be the mother of the child for
whom the writ was issued. Miss Kate
Schaller averred that she gave birth to
an illegitimate child and placed
il in the hands Of Mrs Humser, the mid
wife, to dispose Of, and that Mrs. Hum.
ser placed it in the family Of Mr.. w. J..
White to be adopted. Subsequently Miss
Schaller wished to recover possession Of
her child and applied to Mrs White, when
that lady informed her that the baby she
had was not an adopted child, but was her
own. The testimony before the court was
most conflicting, but Mr.. and Mrs. White
brought many witnesses to show that
the baby was theirs. They have had it in
charge during the trial Saturday the
judge was. to render the decision, but
Mrs. White appeared in court without
the child. When asked by the court
where II was. Mrs. White, in a deter
mined manner, answered. Judge
Outcalt, / was submitted to severe exami-
nation the other day, and
understood you were going to
decide against me, and l have
protected my child. / know the conse-
quences and am here to abide by them,
and il | have to stay in prison ten years
liam satisfied, so II at the end of that
time have my darling" This reply of
course, made a sensation. Her attorney
disclaimed having advised this

have time to reflect. The court said
that II Mrs. White did not produce the
child she must suffer the consequences
of contempt of court, and he allowed her
till noon TO consider. The resolute
mother for two hours was urged by her
attorney and friends to prodnce the
child, but at the of the time she remained
firm and went bravely to jail under sen
tenee Of the court for contempt. Mean
time the judge witholds his decision of
the merits of the case.

lyle said that the nineteenth century
gave evidence that the people wers only
beginning to emerge from bsrbarism.
Compared with other cities Wilmington
is reasonably quiet and orderly. We
have no apologies TO make for otiissrs who
do not do their duty. The policy of
selecting the police force entirely from
one political party is bad, and the policy
of introducing national politics in local
affairs is also bad. But there is no royal
road TO goodness and order. Strong re-
pressive measures should be adopted and
the peripatetic demsgogues who incite
race prejudice should be mnz1led even ii
they are in high places.

THE sermon of the Rev. w. P. Swartz.
published yesterday indicates that he
thinks Wilmington is bad place. It is
difficult to ascribe one special cause for
the prevalence Of rampant crime. The
one-ideaed philosopher ascribes it to the
abuse Of intoxicating liquors and con
demns with universal and indiscrimi-
nate haste the manufacture and
sale of all liquors. The Ameri-
can blames the free. .for-all
policy which invites the lowest and
poorest classes of Europe to settle in this
country and reap the benefits without
adding to the glory or strength of our
institutions. The criminal immigrants
from Europe added to the ignorant
negroes at home make a combination
which is not beneficial for any country.
But the best explanation OF existing
crime is the general preva-
lence Of human nature. Car

The dismissal the three railway postal
clerks Cane, obenshine and Hughes, who
were the best and most efficient men in
the service and who stood highest-90 to
y6--in examinations, has been serious
detriment to the service. Mails are often
astray, and frequently the New York
papers go on tour down the Peninsula

Wild Woman IS Found in the Rocky
Mountains.
In the summer Of 1889 w. @. Hart, the
geologist and two other enthusiastic
collectors Of specimens, were encamped
near the lava beds between the head
waters of the Cache de la Poudre river
and North Park. 1t was rough broken
region, and the desolation was height
ened by the proximity Of the crater Of an
extinct volcano, while bare rocks and
dead timber were everywhere. The hope
of securing rare formations for their
cabinets, attracted the gentleman to the
uncsnny spot, for every one averred that
Cameron Pass was haunted by the spirit
Of an emigrant's daughter. Joe Shep.er,
a well known mountaineer, who was pilot
ing the party through the hills, had often
seen the ghost and promised his compan-
ions that they should view the strange
apparition before returning to their
homes He said the spirit was a thief
and frequently stole food and fur
niture from the camps of hun-
ters who ventured within the precincts
of her uninviting domain. At dinner
