Long Lost Child Found.
srec;r1 &c TIE Gazette.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-with whatever
anxiety and heayiness of heart William
Schmidt and his wife In their distant
Texas home have turned their thoughts
from time to time to the little daughter
they lost thirteen years ago in the city of
New York, 1t is all comfort now and JOY.
The child has been found, grown
to womauhood, kind and honest
and the thousands OF narrowing doubts
with which the parents have thought
upon the perilous career of their lost
little one in the pitlless throngs Of the
great city haYe all been set at rest
When leaving New York, thirteen years
ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Schmidt gave their
little daughter in care TO an old woman,
who could never be found again. II
was thought that SHE purposely
sexuestered the child and after dllligent
search with the aid OF the police
the parents abandoned hope OF finding
the child A few dnys ago Mr.. Schmidt
returned from Texas, aud on the street
by chance met an old woman who had
known the missing guardian Of his child
That woman had died soon after Mr..
Schmidt left for Texas and the girl was
committed to the care of q Catholic
school. Then she was easily traced
he ha& grown up In the school model
Dung girl, had gone to work in q big
store, aud ouly q few days before had
married worthy man from Maspeth,
where the oyerjoyed father tetRd her.

THE VATICAN
Two British Vessel. Collide.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-A collision between
the British steamer, Claymore, and
British ship, Coriolanus, occurred last
Monday, 400 miles west OF Fastnet. The
weather was clear, but heavy sea was
running at the time of the collision. The
CorIolanus was lacking, and the Clay
more attempted to cross her bows, and
the former struck her aTpidShips, cutting
into her engiue-ro0ms The ships bows
were crushed and the howsprit and fore
mast carried away. The crews of both
vessels were panic-stricken, and
rushed for the boats, which
were Immediately lowered away. Many
members of the crews left their vessels
without their boots or coats. The British
steamer QueenSmore, which was five
miles distant. saw the collision and has
tened to the rescue. She stood by tue
Clavmore for hours until she sank. The
report that the Coriolanus also sank a
short time after the collision was an
error, as she was seen by the White Star
line steamer Britannia Wednesday.

To Sell the A. t. Stewart Wines.

Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-The sale of the
wine cellar of the late A. T. Stewart,
which comes off next Wednesday after
noon, will cause the mouths OF eonnois-
seurs in choice wines to water. There
are thousands of dozens of bottles OF ex-
quisite Dadeiras, sherries, johannisberg,
cIarets, ports and other less aromatic
liquors. The wines are valued
at $50 900, and it was the desire
of the Manhattan club to purchase
the whole cellar, but some difficulty
arose and the club will coutenS itself
with purchasing a few dozens OF the
choicest yintages and Fcomet-year'
Juices. Mr. Stewart was an expert only
in dry goods. His art gallery his library +,
his wines, all show the lamentable igno-
rance of rich man IN the hands OF
dealers. But in all collections there are
fine examples, and those who have taste
will find much to appeal to ii
and will easily discriminate the
precious from the gross. II the Manhat-
tan could have carried out its desire of
purchasing the whole cellar there Is no
doubt that the club would have received
much that would have been a delight to
the members. Judge Hilton has tongue
better educated to the subtitle taste OF
exquisite wines than that of Mr.. Stew
art, which found as much satisfaction in q
glass of rhot Scotch as he did in
princsly johannisberg.

THE KARA OUTRAGES.
Letter from Nihllist Refugee Gives Further
Particulars.

Particulars.
srecfsI to the Gazette.
New YORK, Feb. 2S.-The London
Times publishes another long letter from
q Nihilst refugee giving further details
of the outrages at Kara, which 1t appears
began a year ago. At shat time the
prison governor, Masukoff, accompanied
by file of soldiers, entered
the cell OF Madame Soluzef Kovelsky,
pulled her out of bed and dragged her in
her nightdress to the Office of the prison.
where she was stripped and insulted,
and although political prisoner, clothed
In the uniform of a convict. The other
political prisoners determined to make
test case of this outrage, and
to this end organized what
is known among them Us
the "hunger strike Bitter expert
ence taught them that only some terri
bic tragedy would attract the attention
of the authorities. The women therefore
tasted twenty-five days, and many
would have died, but that
they were forcbly fed by the
soldiers under the orders OF
the governor. These orders were carried
out with shocking brutality, the women
being held down while food was forced
into their stomachs by unnatural means.
Fiually Madam Sahida decided to sacri-
fee herself to save her companions aud
accordingly slapped the governor OF the
prison in the face, aud Instead of pa
tiently submitting TO the punishment in
suited the governor general, Baron
KOrf, who ordered that the woman
be logged The prison surgeon
said that II the prisoner was logged she
would probably die. but the governor
gave instructions that the punishment
should be administered while the DhySi-
clan was absent. As is now we'll known
Madam Sahida died from her sufferiugs.

she accepted the offer she SHOULD name
hser own topics, treat them as she pleased
aud was not TO be bound down
by any rule as to the length
OF her productions. There is another
feature Of the letter that is more apt TO
attract the attention OF the princess than
the idea of joining literary circle. It
was blank check for $4,000, drawn on
one OF the best known banking houses in
this country for her first article. The
publisher is anxiously awaiting reply
to his letter. He feels sanguins that the
princess will consent to his proposition.

WAS IT ACCIDENTAL3
A Missouri Man On Trial FOR Shooting His
Wife-Tam7ging TESTIMONY.


WITHDRAWING TPstimnDy.
ST. LOUIS, Feb 2S.-The preliminary
examination of Charles A. Vail OF st.
Louis, charged with the murder of his
wife. Fannie slattery Vail. at Old Mon
roe, st. Charles county. Mo-. on Febru-
airy 10, is in progress ut st. Charles be-
fore Justice Throu. Ths opening of the
case was delayed by the efforts of the
defense to retain possession OF
the overcoat which Vail wore
at the time of the shooting, which he
claims to have been accidental. After
much heated argument between Prose-
cutor Mudd and Attorney Mcdonald OF
the defense, the court ordered that the
coat be handed over TO the sheriff, which
was done. The courtroom was crowded
when the first witness, Jerome MrAtee,
uncle of the dead woman, took the
stand He testified as to the clrcum-
stnuces of the shooting, aud expressed
firm belief that il was not accidental. All
efforts of the attorney for the defense
TO break down his testimony fail ed. The
most damaging part of the testimony OF
Mr.. McAfee was to the effect that when
he heard the report of the pistol MIS-.
Vail screamed anu sulu' CodIli0' tOu
