A DARING ROBBER.
Attempt 10 Chl0rOfOrm Miss Greer
in the Day.

Another bold attempt at daylight robbery
was made last Tuesday afternoon about
$50 o'clock, which equals. if not exceeds,
that one made few mornings since, when
$4,000 worth of diamonds was suatched
from the hands of a clerk in hallway open
ing on Kearny street.
About the hour mentioned the proprietor
and employees of candy-store at 1OI Post
street experienced hair-curing sensation,
caused by hearing piercing, blo0d-curdling
screams coming from the apartments Just
above, occupied by cosmetic establish
ment.
The proprietor OF the candy-store, Spar
row by name, rushed to the front of his
shop just in time to see shabblly dressed
individual leiSurey come down the stair
way three steps at a time and continue the
even tenor of his way down 10 kearny
street, where he commingled with the pass
ing throng and was lost to view.
IN HOT PURSUIT.
Following him a few moments later was a
young woman named Greer, who has charge
of the eSta blishment. There was terror de-
picted in her eyes, and blood was running
from her mouth, while she had a generally
mussed-up appearance.
AS soon as she could control her nerves
she said that the shabbiIy dressed fellow
had come TO the rooms and asked for a bot
tie of saive. She turned her back to him
for a moment to get the article asked for
from the case, aud happened at the same
time to have a roll Of money in her hand
What aroused her fears she cannot tell.
but she started to turn around when the
fellow caught her around the neck, threw
her to the floor, attempted to muffle her
head in shawl she had around her shOul-
ders and at the same time tried to force a
dirty handkerchief saturated with ether
into her mouth.
She struggled violently to free herself and
kept her lips so tightly closed tina. they
were cut by the fellow pressing them
against the teeth in his attempts to get the
ether-soakPd rag into her mouth and under
her nose. Finding that she was making a
good deal OF noise the fellow became fright
eued lest some ones attention might be at
tracted and that he would be caught, re-
leased his hold upon the young woman and
took to his heels.

A Large Cargo Of Sugar.

We have several times this season re-
ferred editorially to the large movement
of sugar to eastern markets by sea from
this port, and on several occasions have
recorded uncommonly large exports on
single days. Yesterday all previous rec
ords were broken, as not only the largest
single cargo ever known was cleared,
but the aggregate exports were phenom-
email The steamship Conemaugh was
cleared with cargo consisting of II, 500
barrels and 1870 bags of Louisiana sugar.
This is an immense cargo of sugar, and
is all intended for eastern refineries.
The aggregate exports of sugar, all for
eastern ports, for the day were not far
from $4,000 barrels, the actual figures
being II, 200 barrels, $50 hogsheads and
100 bags.-New Orleans Picayune.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXPERTS
THEY HOLD AN INTERESTING MASS
MEETING YESTERDAY.
1t Is Addressed by Rev. J. E. Gilbert
of Indianapolis-He Talks of the Sun
day School Idea.

A grand mass meeting OF superintend-
ents, teachers and others interested in
the local Sunday schools was held in
the First Presbyterian church at $3.50
O'Clock yesterday afternoon in connec-
tion with the Los Angeles Sunday school
institute, which is now in session.
Rev. ]. +. Gilbert, D. D., Of Indiana
polls, Ind, who has been engaged as
conductor of the institute, was intro
duced, and in an interesting address of
upwards Of an hours duration, on the
subject Of The Sunday School Idea, the
distinguished visitor engaged the undi-
vided attention of his audience.
After a few preliminary remarks
about the city he had just left, Indian
apolis, which he asserted was the Sun
day, school capital of the continent to-
day. because it had greater number of
children in attendance at its 113 schools,
in comparison with its population, than
any other city in the union, DIR. Gilbert
reviewed the history of the Sunday
school. He said it did not, as was COM
monty supposed, owe its origin to
Robert Rackes OF Gloucester, although
he was the founder of an educational
Sunday school, but the evangelical Sun
day school was founded by that eccle-
siastical reformer, Ezra, who was prompt
ed to the work by the influence of the
Holy Spirit. The speaker then passed
on through the Dark AgesS up to the
time of reformation in Germany, when
Sunday schools were revived by Martin
Luther, and SO on up to the present day.
He next touched upon the purpose of
the Sunday school, and denounced the
idea that it was merely an annex of the
work OF the church, insisting that it
should be accorded its rightful place as
a part and parcel of the sublime system
by which God expects to bring this
world in closer communion with Him
self, and closed by contrasting the con-
dition of the people of northern and
southern Europe, IN favor of the former,
who were for the most part strict Sab
batarlans.

ParneIl and Others Speak in Behalf of
Irish Political Prisoners.
DUBLIN, April notwithstanding a
steady down-pour Of rain 1000 persons
assembled in Phoenix park, today, to
assist in the demonstration of the AM
nesty association, and to protest against
the continued mprisonmentand alleged
inhuman treatment OF Irish and Irish
American political prisoners by the
British government. After speeches by
Kenny, Parnell and others, resolutions
were passed, calling upon Irishmen at
home and abroad to put forth every
effort to secure the release of their
friends, and demanding that the govern
ment hasten the unconditional sur
render Of the prisoners.
Parnelps speech was TRADE against
the Liberals. Why, he asked, did
Gladstone release these prisoners in
1886? He (Gladstone) did not hesitate
to stoop to ascertain. the opinions of
dynamiters as to whether they would
accept his home rule bill, and even went
so far as to receive some of these people
at Hawarden.
Here a voice exclaimed: "Why did
not you make the conditions?" While
cries of "Kill him!" Lynch him! I"
were raised.
In reply, Parnell declared that the
Irish party never made conditions with
the government. The prisoners, he
said, would rather rot in Jail than
accept anything but unconditional re-
lease.

He Didn't Purchase the shoes.

It was nearly o'clock one evening
when gentleman, apparently go years
of age, entered one Of our leading shoe
stores. He wanted pair of shoes, he
said, and the clerk proceeded to supply
his wants. The customer selected a
pair of So shoes, and while the clerk,
who was iii hurry to get home, was
hastily doing them up the man hunted
his pockets over and after much exer-
ton pulled out thirty coupons in pay
ment for the shoes. The clerk protested
that the coupons were of no use, and the
man insisted that they were. The clerk
explained that the firm had published
coupons in an evening paper with the
announcement that they would deduct
ten cents from each dollar purchased.
The man had cut the coupons from
thirty papers and saved them to secure a
pair of shoes, and was deeply disgusted
that he couldn't get them. Springfield

A TRAVELLED CORPSE.
A Widow Who Has Carried Her Hus-
bands Body Over the Country.

A Widow Who Has Carried Her Hus-
bands Body Over the Country.
The most travelled corpse in the
United States is probably that of John
s. Cornish, who departed this life ten
years ago, and which has been journey
ing to and fro ever since, in obedience to
the orders of Mrs. Cornish, who cannot
exist in comfort unless the body of her
husband rests within a short distance of
her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cornish were married in
st. Paul in 1880, and after a brief and
happy honeymoon, left the city for Los
Angeles, CAL, where they intended to
reside. In the fall of the same year,
while riding with his wife, Mr.. Cornish
was thrown from the buggy and killed
outright. The widow was inconsolable,
and her mental sufferings were terrible
to witness. She was completely pros
trated, and fears for her sanity were
entertained. The body of her husband
was embalmed, funeral services held
and the body placed in a vault. Here
it rested for two years, until Mrs.
Cornish concluded to move to Free
port, Ill. She packed her house
hold goods, and with them had the
body of her late husband shipped to
her new home. In Freeport the corpse
was placed in vault and rested for five
years undisturbed by friend or foe.
After living in Freeport for five years,
Mrs. Cornish concluded that Dayton,
O., was more desirable place of resi-
dence, and so packing her effects, she
ordered the body and her goods sent
along to Dayton, and in due time they
arrived in safety. Mrs. Cornish was
evidently impressed with Dayton. for
she had a handsome vault fitted up, and
for another five years the bones OF her
lamented husband lay in peace. Mrs.
Cornish became dissatisfied with Day
ton, however, and came to st. Paul to
live, again taking the body from the
tomb and bringing it with her, making
its fourth journey overland. Another
funeral service has been held, and the
body entombed once more.
Mr.. Cornish is bright woman, but
has morbid dread of being removed
from her husbands dead body--indeed,
she dwells SO much upon her husbands

Tale of Cat.

A gentleman was passing near Hough-
ton square just after recent storm and
discovered a cat ensconced on the
stringer of wooden fence in shelter
ing angle. He called the attention of a
neighbor toit, and together, thinking that
perhaps the cat was frozen to death, they
proceeded to stir it up. The cat got up,
and in attempting to jump off the fence,
hung suspended like an icicle by the end
of its caudal appendage, which was
frozen to the fence. The animal had
crawled in for shelter from the storm,
the heat of the body melting the snow,
and then chilling enough to freeze the
tail to the fence. As it hung suspended
the gentleman began to look around for
warm water, or some other means of
thawing it out, but before they sue
ceeded the weight of the body caused it
to break its hold, and the cat was re-
leased from its strange predicament.

Birds and the weather.

In Yorkshire the early arrival of the
cuckoo is regarded as sign that there
will be little grass and a scanty crop Of
corn, owing to the cold, dry season, and
in the isle of Man the farmers consider
that when the rocks fly to the hills rain
is near. But in Devonshire the belief is
that if the birds stay at home or return
in the middle of the day wet weather is
to be looked for, while in Durham Mr..
Swanson quotes saying to the effect
that if crows feed in the streets of vii
lage storm may be expected. .-Ex-

While calling last evening upon Mrs.

recently started by the ladies of Los

tracted by the sound of childish voice
singing sweet and unfamiliar air in an

informed that the singer was the little
14-year-old daughter Of the lady, and he
was further informed that the words and
music were of the little girls own COM

surprise at this, the lady produced some
copybooks and other papers upon which
were written in childish hand other
productions of Miss Ione's, which
proved to be remarkably good for so
young an author, though written in a
style far above her years. One which
the reporter was allowed to copy was
as follows:
