Such was the question which startled the
equanimity of Special officer Zimmerman
at the Union depot last evening. The in
quirer was pretty haxen-h haired damsel, and
the inquiry was couched in German. For
tunately Officer Zimmerman understood the
mysterious gutturals," and was able to
explain that he knew of no such person as
Christian Glass. ''He promised to meet
me-" she exclaimed, wriBging her hands
and weeping bitterly. The officer soothed
her and prevailed upon her to tell her sto-
nv. Her name was Barbara Schmidt and
she hailed from a small town in the
Rhenish provinces of the fatherland. Her
lover Christian GLASS; had sailed to Amer
lea, where he had amassed sufficient money
to support his Barbara. Accordingly, he
wrote to her, enclosing passage money
aud agreeing to meet her in Pittshurg.
The trusting girl came TO Philadel-
phia, whence, acting on the advice
of friends, she telegraphed Glass and
requested him to be at the Union Depot,
Pittsburg, on time to meet her Officer
Zimmerman took compassion on the girls
sorrow and offered to escort her to place
of safety. He had scarcely entered the
body of the depot with his fair charge,
when big ruddy- -moustached man attack

An Impotsnt Conclusion.

The Legislature which is responsible for
fastening Cameron on the State for another
six years tried to sneak under some sort Of
> cover yesterday by instructing the Sens-
tor to vote for bill he has already killed.
Cameron Is voting for nothing. He has
done all the mischief he is capable Of at
present and has fed from the uncomfort-
able association with the men he has
deceived and betrayed, to the less oppress-
i've atmosphere Of Southern Virginia.
If the Republicans of the Legislature
owned themselves and even approximately
represented the feelings of their con-
stitutents, they would in strong, emphatic
and explicit language have rebuked the
recreant Senator, who first grossly deceived
them and then basely betrayed his party.
The opportunity was open to these men,
bers to retrieve, in some measure, the great
blunder of last week by demanding
Cameron's resignation and denouncing his
act of political perddy by which he defeat
ed his party and his President on vital
party measure.
We congratulate General Goblin on the
success with which he controls his indigns-
tion. Does he not perceive that as the
indorser Of swindle he is personally re-
sponsible for the RESULT He went out of
his way to vouch for Mr.. Cameron: it was
his assurance Of Cameron's fidelity to the
party that gave the latter the necessary
vote in caucus. Yet, instead of resenting
the deceit which has placed him in such a
compromising position. as man of spirit
and probity should, he proposes nothing
more drastic than the belated instructions,
and supports his position in language as
virile and forceful as the bleating of eve
lamb.
Senator Robinson made some just criti-
cism Of the feeble resolution of instruction,
but be proposed nothing better. Both
Robinson and Goblin made some claim to
independence when Cameron was stronger
than he is now, but they both enlisted
under his colors Just when such association
would most hurt them. They are in the
position Of capitalists who, after avoiding
an enterprise whom it was solvent put all
their money in IL the day before it closed
its doors and made an assignment. We
fear they will both lose credit for sincerity
as well as political sasacity, yet neither
stood up yesterday and proposed vote of
censure on the man who had dealt them so
foul blow.-Philadelphia Press.

Death Of Secretary Window.

William Window, of Minnesota. Secre
tary of the Treasury, suddenly expired last
Thursday night few minutes after finish
ing a speech at the banquet given by the
New York Board of Trade and Transpor-
tation.
Secretary Window was born in Water
ford, Belmont county, Ohio. in 1927. and
was raised on farm. He studied law
against his parents wishes, and was fairly
successful. He was elected to various Co.
offices, and later moved to Minnesota
where he rapidly came to the front. He
was elected Congressman and served five
terms, when he declined a denomination.
He was a member OF the Special Peace
Committee of Thirty appointed after Lin
cons nomination. He was then elected
State Senator and served several terms, and
resigned in 1881 to accept a position in
Garfeld's cabinet. On Garfield's death he
resigned and removed to New York where
he established a law office. When Presi-
dent Harrison placed him in the cabinet
there was much adverse criticism but his
course has been marked by many signal
acts.

Cameron And His Sponsors

The Republicans of the State Senate,
especially those who undertook to vouch
for the party fidelity of Senator Cameron,
had an unpleasant task before them yester-
dav, when the resolution urging the sup
port of the National Election bill came up
for discussion. Mr.. Goblin explained that
two weeks ago he had pledged Mr..
Cameron's support to that measure IN the
party caucus which met to discuss his
claims to reelection to the United States
Senate He (Mr Gobin) said further that
he had always found Mr.. Cameron truth
full and had no desire now to impeach his
verieity. He had to admit, however, that
an explanation of the senior Senator's con-
duct was due to his constituents. Other
gentlemen spoke too of the resolution, and
it was passed by strict party vote.
Only those gentlemen who conveyed to
the Republican caucus the assurance that
Mr.. Cameron would support the bill in
question can realize to the full how hard
it is to explain his conduct
in manner ereditable to himself. To say
that he intended to vote for the bill when
it came up, and then to east vote which
prevented it being reached, is to confess
himself guilty of duplicity. His conduct
shows too plainly that he deceived his
friends as well as betrayed his party, and
there is nothing to be gained by hemming
and having over the matter. He has most
shamefully violated his trust, and the Leg
islature should denounce his treachery and
demand his resignation.-Pittsburg Ga

As nearly as we can learn there were
100 baskets. some of which contained the
name of the lady who had prepared it.
The gentleman who was fortunate enough
to get basket containing a name was re-
ouested to share its contents with that la
dy.
This plan afforded much amusement, as
in some instances the gentleman was many
wears the lady's senior and in others vice
versa.
The baskets were disposed of about as
speedily as Messe ers A. Jamison and I. v.
Cochran could deliver them, and we think
all who were present did justice to the
sandwiches, cake, pickles, fruits. ect., but
whether or not these things did justice to
the persons, we are not prepared to say.
About 10 o'clock we started for home,
feeling that we had enjoyed ourselves, and
that it was good to have been there:
