Lost His Watch In the Monument.

Yesterday afternoon a gentleman accompa-
MED by several ladies visited the monument
and while at the lookout an incident occurred
which, though thought serious at first, had a very
happy and somewhat comical ending The
gentleman discovered that his $50 gold watch
Was gone, and taking the bar and a few links
from his waistcoat hurriedly impaired the
knowledge of his loss to the hoorman. Mr. Chas
Iorrey, and wanted to know if thieves and
pickpockets were permitted to frequent the
place As this was the first complaint Of the
KIND and magnitude ever made there Mr. Tor
rey was himself greatly surprised, but as he
has formerly been employed at prisons aud il
something Of detective he went at the work
OF recovery In systematic manner fully con-
WINGED that the man who never told a lie could
not afford to have a watch stolen III the monu-
ment erected to his memory. The search
had not progressed far when the lost
was found, but not in the possession of a thief
IL seems that one OF the ladies' in the party
was rather short in stature and her gallant es-
cort had lifted her in his arms so that she
could look out Of the peep hole upon the site
OF the coming worlds fair. When he let her
down from her perch upon his bosom her
clothing caught in his watch chain which was
snapped by her weight unnotlced by either.

One Of the most beautiful debutantes the
fashionable society of the capital ever beheld
was the eldest daugher of William NJ. Stewart
OF Nevada. Her coming out about the time
that Castle Stewart reared its architectural
exterior above the then unshapen wildness of
the West End" was one of the noted events of
those days in fashionable life. 1t was the most
elaborate and distinguished gathering of the
kind ever witnessed ut the capital, and the
heroine Of the occasion was not disappointing
either IN beauty, grace or in the delicate arts
OF pleasing under such trying conditions. In

TRENTON'S TRAGEDY.
Miss Purcell Goes Home to Receive the
sympathy Of Her Neighbors.

1t is stated in Trenton that two skillful de-
tectives had been employed by David Purcell
to work privately on the Kniffin murder case,
and that they had obtained important evil
dences of burglary. II this be true the city
authorities are not cognizant of il. The mys-
terry surrounding the tragedy is as clouded as
ever, but there is reason TO believe that the
city and county authorities have some facts in
their possession which have not been given out
to the public, otherwise they could scarcely
have made the charge they did Miss Purcell
left the city yesterday morning on the eo'clock
train and DR.. knifin departed last evening
Miss Purcell was accompanied by her brother
David and went direct to her home in Warren
county. She will make her home on the farm
until she Is required TO appear before the grand
jury. DIR. kniffn went to New Brunswick with
his brother-in-lsw, DIR. Palmer and sister He
will remain there for the present, and the Broad
street house will be closed. The large number
of prominent business men who appeared be-
fore the chief justice Thursday night as willing
bondsmen for DIR. Kniffin has turned the tide
OF public sentiment IN favor of the latter's in
nocence. He could have secured bondsmen
Tor double the amount If necessary. Even Dr.
knifin's friends, however. seemed to hesitate
about going on the girls bond. They consented
after some delay.
There is a report that a relative of DIR.
hniInu Is the person the detective has been
shadowing. This relative is the black sheep of
the family and has served time in prison for
larceny. Rumor has it that he and Dr. Knifiin
were on bad terms and that he was at one time
elected from the doctors house. 1t is also ru-
mored that the man WAS seen in the vicinity of
the Kniffin residence on the evening previous
to the murder.
Miss Purcell reached her home at Broadway.
M, after l0-nile drive through the mud
When they alighted from the train at Phillips
burg Miss Purcells veil was raised and her face
plainly told of relief and sense of freedom
The journey had not been pleasant. owing to
the many eyes fixed upon her. though pas
sengers on the train say she bore the ordeal
very well. A number of the residents OF the
place and several farmers from the country
who knew her and her family, FASTENED to ex-
tend their sympathies for Miss Purcell in her
trials and to declare themselves outraged by
the charges brought against her. They all
thought her innocent and she received their
expressions with genuine pleasure.
When Miss Purcell reached the family resi-
dence she jumped from the carriage and ran
into the house, where the family gave her
joyous welcome. Her aged mother has not vet
been Informed of the real nature of Mrs
hniftn's death nor of the suspicion directed
against her daughter.

Johnstown Wants $500 600.

The Johnstown finance flood committee have
completed the preparation of petition which
will be presented to Congress by Col Schall,
Representative from that district, for the APP
preparation of half million dollars to be
used in dredging and otherwise improving the
Conemaugh and Stony Creek rivers. This
petition will be based upon the reports of an
eminent engineer who has been engaged for
some time on the work. Taking into consider
alton the large area of country which these
rivers drain and the present condition of the
streams it is thought almost certain the petit
ton will meet with favorable consideration and
will be speedily acted upon.

An interesting feature of the personnel of the
politico-social life of the capital is the historic
relation of individuals and of families not only
to the political or warlike events of the past
but to the activities of men in the less preten-
tious but possibly even more potential lines of
peaceful human progress. In the wife of the
Representative of the extreme western con-
gressional district of Pennsylvania we find
direct descendant of one of the leading spirits
of the proprietary commonwealth of Pennsyl-
vania and the royal province of the duke Of
York, the brother Of England's king.
