ABDUCTED BY A SISTER.
The Adopted Parents of Mary Grainey
Making a Fight to Recover Her.

The Adopted Parents of Mary Grainey
Making Fight to Recover Her.
Constable Harry Craven, of the Thirty
fifth ward, was about soliciting the assist
ance of the police yesterday in a peculiar
case that has been placed in his hands.
Mary Grainev, a 12-year-old child, was
abducted from the home of her legally
adopted parents about month ago BY her
sister, young woman who lives in Ohio,
and the child is now in the possession of an
uncle, Patrick Grainey, who resides at No.
341 Brownsville avenue.
According to Craven's statement, the
parents of the child died when she was a
babe, leaving her and boy three years her
senior, who were placed in the Tannehill
Orphan Asylum, this city. Soon afterward
the little girl was adopted by Martin Kelly,
of Bolivar, Pa, and was reared in the be-
lief that she was his daughter, he having no
children of his own. About q month ago,
SO Craven states, Maggie Grainey went to
Bolivar, and watching an opportunity when
Kelly was away at work and Mrs.
Kelly temporarily absent, she forcibly
possessed herself of the child and
took her away, the Kellys not knowing for
a considerable time what had become of her,
ana rearing she mad wandered away and got
lost in the woods or the river, were in a
great state of mind. Finally they learned
of her in Pittsburg and, after making an un-
successful effort to recover her, placed the
case in the hands of Constable Craven. He
says the Kellys were legally made the pro-
tectors of the little girl, that she was kind
Iy treated by them, had a good home, was
sent to school and in every way properly
taken care of, and that they will leave
nothing undone to recover possession.
Patrick Grainey, on the other hand,
claims he has better right and, while ad-
mitting that his niece stole the child away,
absolutely refuses to give her up under any
circumstances or to allow her to be seen.
Police Captaid Denniston, to whom Cra-
ven applied, advised him to have Kelly
come here and make a demand for the child,
and if Grainey fails to accede, to enter suit
against him and all concerned.

'T think the Duquesne now has the call

the average man than 2 cents, the difference
in fare. l see lots of men getting on the

MAKES MEN LAZY.
One of the Effects of Too Much Leisure In
the Insurance Business

'It is hard to keep an insurance man
down to work." remarked Charles A. Nc
Feeley yesterday. 81 don't know of an
other business where you have such oppor-
tunities to loaf and become lazy An agent
goes out, and takes big risk. He gets a
good stake, and then it is the most natural
thing in the world not to work again until
it is used up.
81 have seen this habit soon develop in
frst-class agents, and it is hard to break it
up. 1t is quite human to hustle only when
YOU have to.

James A. Herne, of Boston, the famous
actor, lectured to nearly SEQ people at
Philadelphia Sunday evening on "EX-
tremes of Wealth and Poverty" The
lecture was under the auspices Of the
Single Tax Society of that city. Mr..
Herne declared that change in the
social system is necessary. The power
of wealth has already passed the danger
line. Shall it be permitted to go on or
be controlled? Is not wealth itself the
cause of the defect in the social system
If so the question is how to justly dis
tribute it so that each individual may
get all he earns. The producer is now
the last to get portion of his just dues.
"When we change" Mr., Herne sug-
gested, "let us take radical change and
adopt the single tax advocated by Henry
George" He proceeded to explain the
two kinds of single tax-limited and un-
limited-and advocated the unlimited
tax.
Instance after instance was given by
the speaker of the misery and poverty
suffered bv the poor in the large cities
They wanted Justice, that was all, he
said, to right oppression. The right of
private ownership of land gave rise to
the claim of one class to rule and dictate
over another, Remove the taxes from
industry and the fruits of industry, he
said and place it on the land values, and
everything will be cheaper except wages,
which will be higher. In closing, Mr.
Herne sketched the advantages to every
class of the system of single tax, drawing
pictures of happiness and prosperity to
every individual. Woman suffrage was
also advocated and its justice presented.

of the trade, no advance in the circular
prices was ordered 1t was agreed to
make the allotment for November four

The following synopsis of the play to
be produced at the Opera House on
Wednesday evening is republished by
request:
Mr.. Norman had in early life succeed
ed by questionable means in obtaining a
colonelcy which Enfield would otherwise
have obtained. To make amends Nor
man afterward has Williamson, alias
Enfield, appointed captain of the steamer
Northern Belle" which is wrecked
Norman, who thinks Williamson wreck
ed the vessel Intentionally, had him ar
rested, and Williamson fees from Justice
he had at the time of the wreck rescued
Stella, who is really Norman's daughter,
and left her at an obscure place on the
Great Lakes. He afterward takes her
WIN hlm to Bald Point, where he makes
a ilVlng by Keeping summer boarders,
fishing, etc. The wreck of the vessel
and loss of many lives, together with his
wrongs, gradually prey upon Entield's
mind TILL Stella fears insanity. Mother
Foresight knows his secret. Chester
Norman is on the Lake Survey and be-
comes acquainted with the Enfields.
Charles Norman, his foster father, calls
to see him and is recognized by Enfield.
He and Dr. Nalerian, who is pretty
thorough knave, allow Norman to depart
in small boat with squall coming on.
Mother Foresight gives the alarm and
Norman is saved
In the second act Enfield plots to
throw Norman over a cliff with the tacit
acquiescence of Nalerian. Mother Fore
sight again illustrates their plan and the
whole denouement is precipitated. En-
fields whole soul is now possessed by
the desire for revenge. In the scene
where he meditates for a brief time, al
lowing Stella to marry Chester Norman,
her own brother, as he supposes him,
Persimmon and Pat afford unlimited
fun. The characters are very evenly
balanced, and, it is stated, there is not
an unimportant part in the play.

The most exciting fire witnessed in
Mount Carmel for many years occurred
Monday night. -Four houses owned by
Enoch Nebeskie and located one block
east of the Lehigh Valley depot were
consumed, and the inmates had terri
BILE experience with the flames. How
the fire originated is mystery. 1t was
few minutes after II O'Clock when two
miners, who had been spending a couple
OF hours at the bedside of sick COM
panon, started for home. While pass
ing the Nebeskie row of houses one OF
the men remarked that he thought he
smelled smoke rising from an alieyway
which separated the row from another
residence. A moment later a flame ap.
peared, and soon the building was ablaze
The fire department promptly responded
and bursting in the door succeeded ir
making their way to where a man and
his wife were sleeping. They We're witt
difficulty rescued. The buildings were
entirely destroyed, entailing a loss o
about $1,000.

Miss Emily Drum, aged IA, was as
saulted at Hazleton on Sunday night,
and but for the timely arrival of some
gentlemen she might have been killed.
Miss Drum had been to Grace Reformed
Church, and was walking up Green
Street, which bounds one side of the
park wherein is situated the mansion of
Ario Pardee. She was alone, but feared
no harm, as she was on a prominent
street in the most respectable part of the
town. Suddenly man leaped from the
shadow of a tree and encircled her throat
with his grasp. Miss Drum was almost
lifted from the ground and forced against
the nearby fence. She tried to scream
but the terrible grip of the man choked
her. However, she was able to make a
noise, and several men rushed to her as
sistance. The assailant heard their foot
steps and dashed up the alley in the
darkness. By this time a crowd had
collected, who assisted Miss Drum to ge
to her home. The girl was so frightened
and unnerved by the attack that sh,
could give no description of the rufIian
