CHAINED IN A CELLAR.
Inhumen Treatment OF a Pretty
Young Polish Maiden.

Inhumen Treatment OF Pretty
Young Polish Maiden.
MOUNT CARMEL, Aug. Miss Amelia
Sheshinskie, a once comely Polish maiden, is
now a maniac, caused by brutal treatment
and incarceration in a gloomy dungeon in
the cellar Of her stepmother, Mrs. Rose She
| shinskie.
Amelia's brothers. Anthony and John,
lived next door. They did not interfere
because, it is said they were in collision
! with Mrs. Sheshinskie to put the unfortunate
/ girl out of the way in order to get her part
! Of the estate left by their deceased father.
The details are horrible and only too
true. John Sheshinskie came from Warsaw,
| Poland, when Amelia was years old. Her
brothers are a few years older The first
| Mrs. Sheshinskle died and the widower
again married and bought big piece Of
land in the First ward.
He was about to build when death over
took him, and the brothers completed the
work. They married and each occupied
one Of the double houses. Mrs. Sheshinskie
and her son, by a former marriage, and
Amelia took possession of one side of the
remaining double house. The other half
was rented in August.
About this time Amelia's step-brother
married. After few months Amelia told
Anthony that she was abused by her step
mother, and went to live with him. In O
few months the girl told John the same
story relative to Anthony. She Jared no
better with John and rejoined Mrs. Shes
hinske. The Sheshinskies lived in the
midst of Polish colony, with few Ameri-
cans close by.
During the past year they have been con-
sideraby alarmed and annoyed by hearing
unearthly cries and means, emanating fr ON
Mrs. Sheshinskie's home. They told tbs au-
thorities, who visited the place, and were
informed that nothing was wrong. Four
weeks ago James Mauney preferred infor-
nation,
The police visited the house and heard a
noise in the cellar. They found the musty,
loathsome hole, furnished with two planks,
and box, behind which crouched a Great
ure, which looked more like beast that a
human being. 1t was poor Amelia, clothed
in a ragged shirt and an old -four bag. She
was insane and presented q distressing spec
tacle.
Mrs. Sheshinskie was given hearing and
claimed the girl was well treated. Amelia
told horrible tale, but her evidence was
not taken. She said they all treated her in
a most inhuman manner, dubbed and
whipped her at will, and tied her in the
cellar and fed her crusts of hard bread
When she complained they silenced her by
various modes of torture. Before taking
her to the hearing numoer Of women took
the rags from her person, which was
marked with scars, one as broad as a hand,
on her neck where a hot stove lid had been
placed.
Mrs Sheshinskie was put under bail. The
girl will probably be sent to the asylum.
Much Indignation is expressed by the people
through the region.

sWICKHEIMER's LUCK.

Seven Years Ago a Peuniless Prospec-
tor; To-day a Millionaire.
DENVER, Col. Aug. 3.-The State Ma
tional Bank of Denver to-day paid David
Swickheimer 100000 the last payment
on the Enterprise Group at Rico, which
was recently sold for 81, SOC, 900 to Oliver P.
Posey and George Crawford of New York,
who in turn capitalized the Enterprise
Mining Company for $2,5o0.oOO and have
disposed of the stock to a syndicate of
eastern capitalists.
Less than seven years ago Swickheimer
was poor prospector, who located the En-
terprise on Newman Hill, near the town of
Rico, in Dolores county. He struggled
along from hand to mouth for an existence
for more than two years with not much
prospect of success, until bis wife had the
good luck to draw $4,000 from a lottery.
This was expended in the sinking of shaft
but work had not progressed far until good
paying ore was encountered. Then it was
easy to get help, because the money was in
sight.

New Fad For a Bride.

A ''fad" INDUCED in by the winters
bride is that of having one of the satin
slippers, or shoes, in which she walked
to the chancel rail, silverplated. She
preserves it as a cherished souvenir
and if the slipper be small and shapely
the average woman possesses too
much tact to have it so perpetuated if
it be not so-it forms an oddly pretty
ornament for the mantel edge or cabi-
net. A silversmith, who has had
several bridal slippers brought to him
to be plated, says that he has put a
number of wee baby shoes through the
same process, and has even coated
smoking pipes, oyster shells and lead
pencils-suggestfve, likely, of some
special bit of romance. The silver
plating is not very costly, and the SEN
timent bids fair to be soon INDUCED in
generally.-TableT Talk.
