TEEN YEARS AGO.
The Child, Now Grown Into Very Handsome
Woman, is Found by Hcr Father Through an
Anonymous Letter Excellent Groundwork
For Thrilling NOvsl-Parsni's Joy.

CINCINNATI, March 3O.-One OF those
pretty romances in real life that be
cause OF its very truth Is stranger than
fiction came to light yesterday by the
passage through this civy Of one OF the
chief actors in the affair. The story
sounds almost like tale of the good
fairies and wound maks an excellent
groundwork for a novel. 1t is a case OF
child-StealiDg many years ago, the
abandonment of the stolen child, its
subsequent changes through many
hands until finally the family OF a
wealthy farmer up in the State; an
anonymous communication TO the faith
err who had meanwhile amassed large
fortune in business, giving every detail
Of the child's history and identifying it
through all the changes ind vicissitudes
to which 1t was subject and the final
information that the child IS now grown
to womanhood, is fairly educated, &c.
Sixteen years ago Wm. Foster lived in
Indianapolis with his wife and only
child, a girl three years old. While in
moderate circumstances, he was by no
means wealthy, but lived happily with
his little family.
There was woman in his employ who
did the cooking and housework, and she
took great liking to the girl baby.
One day the woman was missing, and
with her the little girl. Dilligent search
was made In every direction for the
missing youngster by it's parents, but
without avail. IT was never heard OF
again until her father received tidingS
of her about week ago. He received
an anonymous communication stating
that the child had been stolen by the
servant, who after taking it, boarded an
eaStbound train and came toward Ohio.
She abandoned il on the train between
Richmond, Ind. and Sonora, Ohio, and
il was found by trainmen when the
train reached the last named place. 1t
was turned over TO the Statlon-maSter,
who took it heme and cared Tor II sew
eral days, when IL was taken by Mrs.
KaylOr, OF LewiSburg. She kept IL for
a while, when it passed through various
hands, and was finally adopted by a
wealthy farmer named Reynolds, at foS-
toria. Mr.. Reynolds, being well-to-do,
raised her as he would his own, giving
the child, now grown to "A good-Sized
girl, all the advantages possible In the
way of education, &c. She has now
grown to womanhood, is being lnely
educated, and gives promise of being
very beautiful, and would have been
heiress to her adopted fathers wealth
and broad acres had not good fairy
held in reserve ;or her a real father with
"A fortune Of her own
The stealing OF her baby and SubSe-
quent worry so preyed on the mothers
health that she soon after the child's
abduction, and the father removed TO
Chicago. where he engaged in business
and amaSsed large fortune. He was
almost stunned at receiving the intelii-
gence that his long-lost child is alive
and well, and Immediately started for
Fostoria to claim her. He passed
through this city yesterday, and no
doubt joyful meeting will take place
when he reaches his destination.

Tint Dangerous Counterfeit.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 30.-The
secret service officers declare the coun-
terfeit two dollar silver certificate a
most dangerous one. The vignette Of
Hancock is as fine as the original, and
the lettering and lathe work is an ex-
act copy Of the Treasury note. In fact,
the only difference is too minute to be
visible TO the naked eye. In the upper
left hand and lower right hand corner
of the genuine note is figure ., and on
It's face is engraved in characters so mi
mute that they are not lcgible except
under magnifying glass, the word
Two" repeated three times. In coun-
terfeits the word 1.-TWO" is similarly en-
graved the same ntmber of times, but
in two cases the counterfeiter has made
the letters read "owt." Bat as inti-
mated, this mistake is not visible with
out the use of glass. The discovery
OF the counterfeit is not new thing.
Attention was called TO ii some time
ago. and has been called to it at fre-
ouent intervals since it appeared, but
the unknown cOunterieiterS watch the

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, March 3O.-ln
1889 the Democratic party held its pri-
mary elections nnder the new primary
election laws of the State. The Elec-
ton Commissioners refused to pay the
Judges and clerkS at that primary elec-

that such payment was not provided ioI
under the law. Test cases were brought
against the city aud Cook county, and
we're carried to the Supreme Court
That Court handed down a decision In

and its acceptance is not intended tC

JUDGES STRONG CHARGE
To the Grand Jury Investigating the New
York Central Accident.


New YORK, March 3O.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew was Subpoenaed to appear to-
day before the grand jury as 4 witness
in its investigation into the causes re-
Sponsible for the collision attended by
fire In the New York Central tunnel.
After Mr.. Depew had given his testi-
mony the grand jury prepared mum
Der OF questions upon which they want
ed information and submitted them to
Judge Fitzgerald. The Judge, after
looking up the statute, said: The statute
provides that the grand jury may ask
the advice Of the Court, as they are do
ing now, very properly, and may also
ask the advice OF the District At
torney. And no member Of the
grand jury has right 10 put any
construction of his own on the law, or
to take the advice OF any but the Court
or the District Attorney. Now, what
does the statute say in regard to this?
1t provides that person concerned in
the commission OF a crime, whether he
performs it himself or aids or abetS In
its commission, is a person for the grand
jury To act upon. In relation 10 this
matter OF directors. which you are In
quiring about at present, have those
persons the control and management OF
the road? II so, it is their duty To see
that the requirements OF the law for the
safety OF the travelling public
are respected. There should be no
hesitation Of the grand jury to act upon
the law as 1t IS applied to them. Any per
son concerned in the commission Of an
act is member Of the liable party.
The law says that some person shall be
responsible. Those people control the
management Of this road. They have
clear duty imposed upon them by the
statute. II they have violated the stat
ute, an indictment should be found, and
let me say that while il is proper that
where persons OF eminent standing In
the community have serious charges
made against them. that IL IS well care
fully to inquire into all the particulars,
yet the law requires that the same law
should be enforced against them a
against any one else. II the facts war
rant an Indictment an indictment should
be found"
Judge Fitzgerald's words created
some little stir in court. After he had
once more taken his seat Il juror arose
for further instruction. In answer To
the questions Of the jury the Court said
that the directors could be charged |
with miSdemeanor as well as the cor
poration. There is not doubt in the |
mind Of any person who was in the
court room when the jury filed out but |
that true bill will be found against |
the directors Of the road. :
