FIFTEEN YEARS AGO,


There has been quite a Change sincs I
first visited the locality, several years
ego. ! was then a boy OF fifteen. / had
not seen the place from that time till |
visited the other dgy.
1t was in 1876. Myself and another
boy crossed the mountains on foot, to
catch trout in those streams. We car.
ried our provisions on our backs, and
after sleeping the first night on one OF
the upper tributaries OF the river came
down the next day to the site where the
town OF Davis' Mines now is. 1t is need.
less to say that then there was nothing
here but the wild woods, the rocks and
the wine.colored river, for at that time
no railroad was thought Of, and there
was not a human abode on fifty sxuare
miles.
AT this time, the timber Is cleared
away, and the narrow valley OF the river
is covered with coke ovens, stores and
buildings Of various kinds. When |
vas first there it was next to impossible
to get along at all, so dense were the
thickets, and SO rugged tho channel OF
the river. remember distinctly that
We were two hoursin getting over half
a mile OF the laurel thicket ON the hill
above.

Mrs. Marie Zolkl. the wife OF Arthur Zolki,
who was recently sent to State prison for at
tempting to rob Dentist Dolamater, Revo birth
to child In the LyinR-in Asylum. 1879 Second
avenue, ten days ago. 1t was found dead yes
terday. DR.. ]. Conger Bryan. the house sur
geon OF tho aeylum, told DR.. Donlin yesterday
that Mrs. Zolkl was responsible for the death
OF the child. He said that several times he
found her pinchlng the infant on the arms;
that she left II out upon the coverlet OF the bed
every night. and that she did not nurse 1t prop
erly. When he spoke to her several times
about this latter, she replied that It had q sore
mouth and could not feed. This was found to
be untrue Mrs. zolki will be taken into GUS
tody whenever she is At to leave tho hospital.
She was left in absolute poverty upon the ar
rest OF her husband, but her brother in Hobo
ken, who Is a bartender. offered her home
The corpse OF the baby was emanciated.
There was bruise on the right side OF the
chest a confusion Of the left side another
bruise on the right arm. above the elbow,
confusion over the left shoulder blade, a con-
fusion on the knuckle OF the index finger Of
the left hand. and all the knuckles OF the right
hand were covered with bruises. Burns
were also found on the right side OF the back.
on the right elbow. and on the right knee. The
burn on the back was an inch and half long
and three quarters OF an inch wide.
After the autopsy DR.. Donlin issued a certih-
cate OF death to the effect that the child had
died from exhaustion from inanition and con-
tusions OF parts Of the body at the hands Of its
mother ana burns Of arms, side, and knee
caused by accidentally placing hot water bot
ties close to body.
DR.. Bryan subsequently explained that tho
hot water bottles were placed against the
chid's body by the nurses on Friday night
when 1t was dying. Both nurses who attended
to the infant had been without rest three days
and nights. although they were suffering them-
selves with the influenza. In some manner the
towels became disarrsnged and the hot water
bottles pressed against the child's body burn
ing its flesh. The house physician said that
the burns on the child's body had nothing to
do with its death. but Deputy Coroner Donlin
thought differently.

It IS Said Sir Johns Government VIII XIII
tho Project.
MONTREAL, Jan. 12.-The details of a big
live stock scheme by which 1t is hoped to divert
the export trade In American cattle and sheep
from Atlantic ports to the St. Lawrence route
were recently given in THE SUN. The pro-
moters OF the project who are rich Montreal
capitalists, have decided to petition the Do
mnion Government to allow United States
cattle to be put on board vessels at Montreal
IN bond and shipped to Europe. The PROPOSE
ton is to run cattle through from Chicago and
other Western centres, SO that they shall not
be fed anywhere in Canada. Strong objections
have been made to the scheme, as it is asserted
that the English Government will disapprove
Of 1t. The promoters Of the project which, II
permitted, will increase the export trade at
this port by about 100000 cattle a year. are de-
termincd to bring the matter before the Gov
ernment at Ottawa.
Last week train load Of American cattle
passed through Upper Canada to Montreal in
bond thence to Portland for export to Liver
pool. and another train Is expected next week.
In case American cattle were shipped direct
from Montreal in bond they would not run any
more nor even as much risk Of being mixed
with Canadian cattle. as American cattle would
be shipped at this port in separate steamers.
The Dominion Government will It is UNDER
stood. refuse to sanction tho project
