Mcdowell Sticks.

It Ii said that at the conference between
Senator Quay and Maj. Alexander Mcdowell,
the republican nominee for Congress in the
twenty-ffth Pennsylvania district, the latter
declined absolutely to get of the ticket on ac-
count of the bribery said to have been resorted
to to secure his nomination. An arrangement
was then discussed which contemplates formal
investigation Of McDowelPs standing the
nominee. The committee will, of course, find
that no had no knowledge of the bribery pre-
vious to the nomination. The plan is, there

Must Not XIII Pup Fur Seals.

The deputy collector of customs at Ouna-
laska, Alaska, wrote to the Treasury Depart
ment on the 9th Of June last requesting that
the natives of Ounalaska and other of the
Aleutian Islands be permitted to take and kill

pose of supplying themselves with food and

reply that he has no authority to grant the de-
sired permission, section 1856, Revised Stat

seals In Alaska and the waters thereof and sec
tions 1860 and 1852 allowing the killing OF such

in the water.
Willie Hamilton was one Of the small boys
who got glimpse of the lake. He was on his

A WILMINGTON CHARLIE ross.
Lost for Eight Years and Found His
Mother TIursday.

Willie Whitley, aged Is, who has been
wandering around the peninsula and
Pennsylvania for several years past
looking for his mother discovered her
at last at Kirkwood Thursday morning.
Special Agent Stout Of the S. p. c. @.
accompanied the lad to Kirkwood on
Thursday wherea he lads mother, Mrs
w =. Forrest, had been discovered.
Mrs. Forrest had been married again to
a well-to-do wheeiwright Of that place.
Two ladies who had read the story of
Willie Wibley's case in the papers and
knew Of Mrs. Wibley's remarriage and
of her present home called at the
police station where Willie was
being cared for and gave the story of
the mothers present home.
Agent Stout accompanied the lad to
Kirkwood on Thursday. Mrs. Forrest
had not seen her son since 1852. The
officer relates the most affecting story of
the meeting Of the mother and child.
Mrs. Forrest stared at the boy for a
moment; "Oh, that's my son Harry!"
NO" Mr. Stout replied
"That's my Willie,' she shrieked out
with a cry of recognition. She Rugged
the boy only as a mother who has not
seen her child for eight years can. She
fell on her knees and with clasped
hands thanked God and then cried
again. II always trusted in God that
Willie would be returned to me-" she
cried, as tears coursed down her cheeks.
Willie, too, was very much affected, and
the officer withheld his tears with great
est difficulty
The story Of the vicissitudes of the
Wibleys is extraordinary. Thirteen
years ago Mrs. Wibley was forced to
leave her husband on account of cruel
treatment. She took with her her three
children, Frank, Harry and Willie, the
last only five weeks old. The baby was
given in charge Of man named James
Riley, who lived on Twenty-second
street,this city. Five years after
wards the mother heard that Riley
ill-treated the child so she brought
it back to her home. That
evening she left the house. Willie was
playing on the doorstep when Riley
came by and kidnapped him That was
s years ago and on Thursday is the first
time since then the sorrowing mother
has seen her child. Of the two other
boys, Frank was found two years ago
at Jones Road, near Dover, and is now
married. Harry has never been heard of.
Willie has now secure home with
every kindly comfort. His mother,
always querulous at the loss of her
children, had adopted little boy three
years ago. Mr.. Forrest is almost as
much pleased as his wife over Willie's
discovery. He is delighted with the boy
and says he shall have a good home and
shall commence regular schooling.

A BEIUTIFUL BOY.
So Handsome That He Was Thought to
be "a Male in Woman's Attire.

A story was published in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer yesterday week telling of
the arrest Tuesday week in Baltimore of
an alleged young Wilmingtonian named
Robert Kingsford. He was charged
with stealing watch from his bedroom
companion. The latter told the police
that Kingsford was woman and very
beautiful one to. The story continues,
relating how Sergeant Magee accom-
panied the man to the hotel where
Kingsford was and found the supposed
young woman in male attire. The SER
geant was soon convinced that it was a
man, although the face gave every evil
dence to the contrary. 1t was one of the
most beautiful faces the sergeant had
ever seen. The complexion was fresh
and fair, the hair was rather long for
boy. 1t was golden and wavy and was
brushed pompadour. The eyes were
soft and blue and the features were
regular and clear-cut.
The boy told the following story:
"My name is Robert Kingsford and my
age is II years. | was born in the Ninth
ward of New York city. My mother
died several months ago and | had to go
out into the world to make living. |

brother of my mother, who is ply
sician in Wilmington, Del, but he would
not recognize me. Then was told that
people were paid fabulous sums to go
down the Chesapeake bay dredging from
Baltimore, and / came on here and was
shipped on a pungy. found out my
mistake when too late and now have
to get along the best way can"
Neither the money nor watch was
found in Kingsford's possession. The
timepiece, however, was later recovered
by Sergeant Magee, who got it from
friend, to whom the loser had loaned it
and forgotten about it. The COM
plainant had evidently been under the
influence of liquor. Kingsford was not

truth of the alleged local relation of
to any Wilmington physi-
clan. His assertions are generally
doubted,

Mrs. Mary A. Howard, the wife of
Edwin Howard, superintendent of the

most instantly
Mrs. Howard started to see her dress
maker, Mrs. Fullerton, ut No. 32l East
Seventh street, Thursday afternoon
Not being familiar with the locality, she
evidently became confused. The APP
proaching stroke probably added its effect
to her bewilderment or perhaps caused it,
About 4.30 o'clock she crossed East Sew
enth street and sat down on the steps of
No 49,, btlrying her face in her hands. A
young man passed aud hearing her moan
ing stopped. Mrs. Howard raised her
head, as if to same something, and fell
face downward on the pavement. Her
face was cut and bruised by the fall, which
also caused blood to flow from the nostrils.
The young man. summoned DIR. ]. r..
Smith, who said that Mrs. Howard had
had stroke of apoplexy, and that she was
dead, death having resulted when she fell
Coroner Sparks was notified and the
body removed to DIR. Smith residence,
Seventh and Poplar streets. Mr.. Howard
was notified by telephone, and, going to
the house. identified his wife.
Mrs. Howard came from Braintree, Mass.
She was 53 years of age and her maiden

Howard have been at the Homeopathic
hospital for IA months and Mrs. Howard
has greatly endeared herseft to the attaches
and patients.
They came to this city from the Lyman
School for Boys in Massachusetts, where
Mrs. Howard was matron for eight years,
having 40 boys in her charge. She had a
wonderful influence over young men and
since she has been in this city number
have visited or written her to express the
debt they felt for her influence in leading
them to manly and upright life. Mrs.
Howard's sudden death is a severe shock
to her husband.
