CHICAGO, Ma -ch 27.-There was a sad
scene in Justice Woodlands court yesterday
morning. E. B. Davis, q lad of 10, was be-
fore the court OF a charge Of burglary. His
partner in the crime, Albert LAnguth, plead
ed guilty to the charge and was held to the
criminal court ir bonds of $1,000. Languth
told how Davis ind himself had broken into
house and Stolen the property. Davis at
torney secured continuance in his case until
April in bonds Of 81 900
When the officers attempted to remove
Davis from the courtroom to the Jail tall,
haired woman pressed her way through
the crowd surrounding young Davis until
she gained his side Then, with an agoniK-
ing wall, she threw her arms around the
boys neck and, in heart-broken tones
sobbed:
"Oh, my darling boy You are not guilty.
l know you are not guilty, and they shall
| not take you fro n me"
The officers with some effort unwound the
| mothers arms Fl ON the ne OK of her maynard
| boy and started with bhn to the patrol
| wagon. The mother struggled to follow, but
| FOR few moments strong arms held her
back. The motter love, however, proved
stronger than thu hands which would keep
| her away from the idol of her heart, and she
was soon again q t his side.
With almost superhuman strength she
threw back the officers who were leading
away her son, and, grasping him In her
arms, she bore HIM into the wash-room, and
with one arm around his neck she held the
officers at bay W til the other. The mothers
kisses and tears fell upon the boys hair
and face az in accents of love she told him
| how firmly she was convinced of his limo

The boy struggled to free himself from her
embrace, for her words of love and sympathy
were worse to him than years in prison cell

Of my old age" sobbed the mother, that

AN OCEAN MYSTERY.

wreckage Found That Creates Much Anx-
iety and Uncertainty,
New YORK, March 27.-There il q vast
deal Of uncertainty and speculation regard
ing the probable fate Of the Coussrva, which
left this port March 10 for SANTANA to engage
in the service Of Hippolyte in the Haytian
civil war. A sunken steam launch and .
corpse with lfe-buoy round it were sighted
on Sunday by the Portuguese bark vasco da
Cana within forty miles of the spot where
the Mallery line steamer Colorado Of the day
before picked up the bodies Of two men on .
life-raft. There was nothing on the launch
to indicate the name Of the vessel to which she
was attached.
1t was at first believed to belong to the
Conserva, and the discovery by the steamer
Gate City, en- route from Savannah to Bos-
ton, of metallic liresboat and one lapstreak
boat, the latter newly painted white, besides
a sofa and other wreckage, led some to BE-
ieve that these belonged to the Conserva,
particularly as the first three letters Of thu
name on the large boat looked like "Con. "
The agents of the Conserva, however, declare
that she had no such articles on board and
| the painter who painted the vessel says her
name was plainly marked on her life-boats
1t is now rumored that the Haytian gunboat
was to be destroyed by a clock work bomb
struggled aboard by some enemy of Hippolyte.
Everything that can at this moment be said
about the lost steamer must be speculative
II guesses count for anything a very good
one mu t be that the wrecked steamer was

| burden that was sighted in distress twenty.
four hours before the corpsss were picked up
about 1873 miles away. The opinion il enter
| tanned by some that the steamer whose
| wreckage was discovered by the Gate City,
| was the Nanticoke from Newport News, Va.
for Ruatan, Honduras, and loaded down to
| the gInwales The supposition Is that the
Nanricoke encountered the equinoctial gales
| and being dangerously loaded, could make nc
Roadway and put back for Chesapeake bay,

The pilot boat Webb which reached this
| port from southern waters yesterday reports
| that when fourteen miles of Fsnwick light
ship she picked up life-boat which bore the
