SOMETHING directed my attention for a few
moments from the little drama of the lost
child, but pursuing my way came across the
strangely assorted pair again at the corner Of
Sixth avenue and Smithfield street. The babe
was still in the same womsn's arms, but had
ceased crying. The woman was consulting
with her companion, also stylishly dressed
woman, as to what she should do with the little
waif. Luckily man came to the rescue, and
advised the deportation of the babe to the
Mayors ofice-that haven Of refuge for all
sorts of waits and strays. The man wanted to
carry the child, but the kind-hearted woman
who had first come to the rescue declined to
abandon her charge, and bore the babe of
triumphantly to City Hall.
The handsome cream-colored jacket with its
gold lace was splattered and smeared with mud,
and the fair saviors face also bore traces of the
muddy little hands.

An Unwilling Visitor to America.

Andreas KpepDe, 80 years old, got here to-day
on the steamship Slavonia. from Hamburg.
He is very unwilling visitor to this country,
and when landed demanded that he should be
returned to his native land right away. His
story is that he first came to America from
Schneidermuhl, Germany. in 1873. and settled
in Iowa He returned home five years later,
and afterward came back to take 3 position in
st. Louis. He never took out naturalization
papers. In 1888 his mother died in Schneider
muhl, and left him $4,000. He went home to
get the money. The Prussian courts he says,
served his time in the army and because they
thought he had become an American citizen.
Then the town authorities shipped him back to
America. The Collector will investigate the
case.

under the auspices of the Y. p. S. C. E, at the

ALMOST A MURDER!
A COtribu tion from Palmyra that
will Help swell the Criminal
Calendar.

Monday night Sheriff Jones received tele-
phone message from Palmyra that a young
man named Patterson had been shot in the neck
by one Clifton, during drunken row. and that
death was inevitable from loss of blood. A
subsequent message stated that the bleeding was
under control, and Patterson would probably
| recover. The circumstances are as follows
| Monday forenoon about 10 clock, John Pat
terson, John Wiesen, Dick Jenkins Bill Nc
Connell and Norman Dean went to Diamond, a
station in Palmyra on the l.. E, A. s S Ry.,
and after imbibing freely of ihtoxicants. pro-
ceeded to advertise their presence in true cow
boy style minus the shooting scene. During
their lawless capers. the Ry. agent elected them
! from the freight house. and locked them out,
Dean works in saw mill, and the other men
are miners tn the Grover coal mines, located in
the southern portion of the township.
About two O'Clock they proceeded to the
Clifton House, located on the south side of the
public highway adjacent to the depot and de-
manded admittance. Benjamin Clifton, the
proprietor. saw them coming and not liking
their appearance and de neanor, and fearing
t ouble if they were admitted, boted his doors
and refused them entrance, at the same time
running away. This, of course. enraged them,
and they made Intellectual attempts to force an
entrance by kicking and pounding the door,
endeavoring to break it in. Foiled in their
plans, they temporarily withdrew but returned
in full force, in about an hour, and again made
determined efforts 10 gain the interior of the
building, and were again repeatedly ordered
away by Clifton. But with stubborn persistency
they continued their onslaught, and broke the
door in three places. TLereupon Patterson push
: ed himself partially through one of the open
ings caused by broken panel. remarking as
given IN evidence at the hearing. that he was
going in and "d do the old of a b-h up >"
Clifton, perceiving that the whole gang would
soon be in, drew his revolver and shot Patter-
son, the ball entering the right side of the neck,
inflicting very serious wound. This effectually
sobered the invaders, and they carried Patterson
TO an adjoining house, where physician was
summoned who succeeded. after long time in
arresting the profuse hemorrhage.
Clifton made no resistance to arrest, and on
Tuesd ny he was given hearing before Esquire
D. E Wilson. who bound him over to the Com
mon Pleas Court, charged with shooting with
intent to kill. Bond was originally fixed at $3.50
which was secured but subsequent information
as to the condition of Patterson, caused the
Prosecuting Attorney to demand a 81 900 bond
which Clifton failed to procure. and he was ac
cordingly lodged in Jail, yesterday.

During the past week there has been
on trial before ex Senator WoIcott, OF
Kent, as Special Referee, appointed by
the Circuit Court of this County, the
case of Barber, administrator, VS..
Kimes. Iu the Fall Of 1875 the de-
fendant and the late John Frost anter-
ed into partnership in the milling bu
siness at Mantua Station, purchasing
a building and machinery Originally
const ucted and operated by Addison
Hancock as box factory y.overbauling,
remodeling and converting 1t into a
Touring and feed mill. In the Spring
of 1880 Kimes sold out his interest to
one Mold, aud the business was con.
Quoted by Frost & Mold until the Fall
of 1884, when Mold Withdrew, and
Frost continued alone until his deaf b
in 1885. Suit was commenced by
plaintiff in March, 1886. claiming that
no settlement of the partnership affairs
had ever been made between Frost and
Kimes, and alleging a large balance to
be due from Kimes to Frost's estate,
Of. which he asked a decree. K les
denied all Indebtedness, clsining the
books, which were kept under the 5 ole
supervision OF Frost, to be UNI eliable
and incorrect, and that the plaiutiff
was endeavoripg to obtain ALI unjust
decree against him. Substantially the
only evidence for the plaintiff was the
books, and they were consequently OF
prime importance in the trial. Judge
Wolcott was engaged three days last
week in hearing the evidence, and all
day Monday in listening TO al guments
of counsel. The case was finally sub
mitted 10 the Court Monday evening
and the Judge is required TO render his
decision in writing , the Circuit Court
which convenes March 18th.
