A COMPLIMENTARY REPLY.
A ROMAN GIRL AND HER DOLL.
A Touching Scene Brought to Light In the
Ancient italian City.

T0uch1ng scene broug1t 10 Lignt IN tho
Ancient italian City.
Youths Companion.1
In May last the workmen who are digging
the foundation for the new law courts in
Rome, discovered sarcophagus buried 80
feet below the surface. Immediately the
telephone called to the spot the members of
the Archaeological Commission, scientific
and literary men, who watch with jealous
care all the excavations made in the Eternal
City. Under their direction it was care
fully raised and opened.
Within lay the skeleton of young girl,
with the remains of the linen in which she
had been wrapped, some brown leaves from
the myrtle wreath with which, emblemtic
of her youth, she had been crowned in
death. A
On her hands were four rings, of which
one was the double betrothal ring of plain
gold, and another with Filetus, the name of
her betrothed, engraved upon it. A large
and most exquisite amethyst brooch, In
Etruscan setting of the finest work, carved
small pendants were lying about.
But what is most strange, as being almost
unique, was doll of oak wood, beautifully
carved, the joints articulated so that legs
and arms and hands move on sockets, the
hands and feet daintily cut with small and
delicate nails. The features and the hair
were carved out in the most minute and
careful way, the hair waving low on the
forehead, and being bound with a. fillet.
On the outside of the sarcophagus was
sculptured her name, Tryph@na Creperia,
and a touching scene. doubtless faithfully
representing her parting with her parents.
She is lying on low bed, and striving to
raise herself on her left arm to speak to her
heartbroken father, who stands leaning on
her bedstead, his head bowed with grief,
while her mother sits on the bed, her head
covered, weeping.
II seems but yesterday, so natural is the
scene, and yet 1t was nearly Is centuries ago
that these stricken parents laid so tenderly
away their dearly-loved daughter, with her
ornaments and her doll.

SCARED INTO MURDERING.
BrowneIl Explains Why He Killed Deputy
United States Collector Weller.

browneu Explains why He htlled Deputy
United States Collector Weller.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, August TO-
United States Marshal Mizell received q
dispatch to-day from the Acting Attorney
General at Washington stating that the
Department of Justice would use every
effort to capture and punish BrownelI, the
murderer OF Deputy Collector Weller, and
authorizing the offer of a reward for the ap-
prehension of the fugitive. This was un-
necessary, however, for Brownell surren-
dered last night to Sheriff Brown, of Holmes
county.
Upon surrendering himself to the Sheriff
last night, Brownell said that he did not
know what he was doing when be fred the
fatal shot. He said he had been suddenly
reused from his slumbers at night by a mob
of men who did not explain their business
with him. He thought they intended to
murder him aud he ran to save his life.
Then he was shot and was so badly scared
that he did not grasp the situation, so he
fired in return. If he had known they were
officers he would not have resisted.
Officers Mcleod and Turvin say they are
confident that Brownell resisted under mis-
apprehension as to the real condition of
affairs. He was not told the nature Of their
mission to his house. Brownell is locked
up. Public sentiment is against the Off
GERS for bungling, which resulted in the
death OF one good man and probably the
ruin of two happy families.
The Treasury Department has ordered
Special Agent Chapman from Atlanta to
make a full investigation of the case. He
left here for WestviIle tonight.

Tilden's Exirnvagance Nearly Rendered the
Hoosier Millionaire speechiess.
Eu gene Field in Chicago News.l
A current paragraph conveys the informa-
tion that "Samuel j. Tilden was something
of bookman and good deal of dandy"
The latter part of the proposition may be
debatable, but there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Tilden was somewhat of bookman-
in fact, he was an industrious and intelli-
gent collector. He had many. many books,
and separately and collectively they indi
Gated that their owner was man Of extern
sive information and nice taste. Tilden had
no speciality as book-lover; his mania took
him in every direction and into every field.
So his library at the time of his death was
perhaps the most valuable private miscel-
laneous library in the country. Admiring
handsome bindings and having abundant
means to crafty that taste his books were
beautifully clothed.
When old Bill English FIRST visited Grey-
stone, and was shown into the library, be
was appalled, by the elegance of that place
81 like books, said he, "and I've got a set
OF cyclopedias at home that I'm thinking of
having bound up. Now, how much does it
cost to have a book fixed up in this style?"
He had cast upon Bediord;it was rich,
full cali, with simple gilt tooling.
''That is a book have had many years"
sain Mr.. Tilden. SIT is very plain but sub
stantial. As recollect. paid about, $25
for the binding"
"Goshp' cried Mr.. English, and he
dropped the volume as if it had been q
hot potato.

WOMEN AS DETECTIVES.
Wafchful Females Who Perform Police

Watchful Females Who Perform Police
Duty In New York.
New York star.I
The female Hawkshaws of the metropolis
are distributed in variety of fields. Some
are in the Custom House, keeping their
eyesopen for fair smugglers who bring over
jewels and fnery without the formality of
paying tribute to Uncle Sam; others are in
the various private detective agencies, like
Pinkerton's and Fuller's, and others, again,
are in the great drygoods stores keeping the
valuable stocks from the depredatory fin
gers of clever shoplifters. A few are "semi-
detached" and do occasional Jobs for the
police, working at other times at some regu-
lar occupation for livelihood.
One Of the smartest women detectives in
town is employed in an extensive drygoods
establishment She is a blonde Of fine
presence and with pair of eyes as sharp as
a flash of lightning. She walks about the
store, mingling with the shoppers, and
making purchases like the rest. When she
suspects anyone she moves up alongside.
Then her knowledge of human nature comes
into service. Taking up a piece of dry
goods she asks all about it Of the clerk or
saleswoman. and when she has the latter's
attention diverted for the moment from the
suspected shopper, she turns her own back
to her and exclaims: "Oh, isn't it lovelyp
meanwhile rustling the goods about all over
the counter.
This is the thiefs opportunity. A mo-
ment's pause, and then the detective wheels
around and clutching the suspected shopper
by the arm, asks: "What do you think of
it, madam" If the latter has indeed fallen
into the trap, she is discovered on the in
slant and marched off to the office and
thence to the Tenth precinct station house.
II innocent, nobody is hurt, and the lady
fancies she has simply encountered rather
eccentric shopper, who is asking foolish
questions when she might decide for herself.

NEW YORK, August 16.-Mrs. A. L.
Dorr, Miss Fannie Van Nostrand and Miss
Mamie Marvin, the American ladies who
were arrested and imprisoned in Mentone
in May last on complaint ot dress
maker, arrived on the Saale this after
noon. They went to Miss Marvin's home
at AL Henry street, Brooklyn. They have
not yet heard from their afidavits filed
with the State Department in Washington
and with Minister Reed in Paris. They do
not understand the delay. The ladies were
travelling in Europe early in May. They

rien, dressmaker at Nice, to be delivered
at a certain time. The dressmaker failed to
deliver them on time and the ladies went to
Mentone without them.

Fire Insurance Company, of New York,
and afterward head of the insur-
ance firm of 81. & j. v. N. Dorr & Co.

PHILADELPHIA, August 16-The ap-
pointment of high ecclesiastical tribunal

Church in the United States is

consummated. The information obtained is
to the effect that the tribunal or court shall
have referred to it all cases in which the

adjudication and that the tribunal
consists of Cardinal Gibbons, OF Baltimore,
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, and
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York.

when questioned on the matter, said:

rived in the city there was crowd OF sew
eral thousand people, who had friends on
board, gathered to meet it. The injured
were in two cars, the interiors of which re-
minded one OF
The Car Hospitals Of Johnstown.
Cushions were pulled up from the seats
and beds made from them. The floors OF
the cars were strewn with bed clothing,
linen bandages, etc. The occupants, most
of whom had goneEthrough greater scrim-
images and had been cut up many times
worse, looked as if they had never been used
to it. General Rowley was lifted by
tender hands and placed on a
cot, and every movement gave him
pain. His head was swathed in cloths, and
the blood had made little rivulets down his
white vest and shirt front. In addition to
those mentioned among the injured, one
lady had her dress cut from wrist to shoul-
der. another lost a small piece Of her cheek,
third had her chin cut, and many others
exhibited wounds that caused them much
pain.
It was reported that one of the injured
women had died on board the train while
coming to Allegheny, and the corpse was
taken off at Tarentum. Superintendent
Kirkland would not corroborate this rumor.

MISSING FOR % YEARS.
A Man Who Wandered Away In m Epileptic
Fit Has Just Returned.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
LYONS. N. Y, August 16.-The case Of
William Pelcher, who % years ago left his
home mysteriously, and who was never
heard of until his sudden reap
pearance a few days ago, is
an absorbing topic of discussion
in this locality. Pelcher lived in Palmyra
with his wife and family. and in 1862 en-
listed as private in a Wayne county regi-
ment. Three years later he was honorably
discharged. While in the service he
contracted epilepsy, to which can
be traced ali his subsequent
actions. In the summer of 1866 he disap-
peared as completely as though the earth
had swallowed him. and all efforts to obtain
traces of his whereabouts proved futile.
His family mourned him as dead and his
wife applied for widows pension, which
was not granted, however. In the mean
time Mrs. Pelcher and one son moved to
Lyons, where they have since lived.
A few days ago an aged man called to see
the family, and the surprise of Mrs. Pelcher
can be imagined when she discovered that
he was her long lost husband,
whom she had mourned as dead.
Pelcher, when questioned as to his
whereabouts could give no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION, but said that he had wandered
away in one of his epileptic fits and had
travelled from place to place, doing odd
jobs for a living. He had made
the circuit of the globe, he said, but his re-
membrance of the places he had visited was
very defective. On Thursday Pelcher
visited the Soldiers and Sailors En-
campment at Soder's Point to renew his
acquaintance with his old comrades in arms
and while there was seized with a fit and
almost expired. He was taken to the home
of his son in Palmyra aud lies there at pres
ent in critical condition.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArCH.1
NEW YORK, August 16.-The Chinese
calony was thrown into great state of ex-
citement little while ago by the rumor
that the bloody San Francisco highbinders
had decreed that every member of the Swim
Tien Sue Royal Chinese Theater Com
pany should perish by the hatchet.
This is the Chinese company which re-
Gently played two weeks engagement at
the Windsor Theater under the skilled
management of Tom Lee and Wong Chin
Foo. Tom Lee said that he would write to
his friends in San Francisco and find out
about the matter. He was somewhat
anxious, for both himself and Wong Chin
Foo would be out of pocket if the members
OF the theater company were killed.
The story was ridiculed good deal but
an article In the San Francisco Chronicle
of a recent date seems to lend it some
basis of truth. The Chronicle gave an
account of the way brutal murders
which have occurred in Chinatown, San
Francisco. of late as the result Of the
bitter feuds between the rival societies of
highbinders or blackmallers, and said that
Kong Wong, of 648 Sacramento street,
there, had just received a letter from his
cousin, Tom Lee, of New York, in
quir;ng about the highbinder story. Kong
Wong, so the Chronicle declared, wrote
back to Tom Lee that the story was true
and that Ches All Lung, alias Adam Quinn,
a notorious hIghbinder, left San Francisco
three weeks ago with gang of six blood
thirsty pals for the purpose of killing the
four leading actors of the Royal Chinese
Company.
Chez All Lung is said to be the most
desperate Chinaman in this country. He
has an enormous frame, muscles of iron,
hands bigger than those of Sullivan and a
neck like bull. He is said to have butch
cred scores of people, and the mention of his
name makes peaceable Cinnamon shudder.
