WILDCAT BANK DAYS.

1t appears that in the good old
Democratic days of wildcat" and
''reddog" bank notes, pensioners and
other creditors of the Government
were compelled to receive their dues in
the deprecated and often uncurrent
and worthless paper money issued by
state banks. Following is a copy of
an official letter written by the United
States pension agent at Cleveland,
Ohio, to a pensioner in Michigan,
which copy was furnished to Tribune
correspondent by Deputy Commits
sioner Davidson, of the Pension
Bureau:

THE COMET was read here and COM

correspondent talked with some of the

that part of Mr.. Pechin's article was
true, while others said that it was the
opposite and would in due time be
answered satisfactorily to all concern
ed, and that it would have no effect
whatever in frustrating the plans O.
the company. We hope it will no

BURIED 4 baby.
Little One Left in a Hole
Dug in the Mud.
Alive at the Time, Its Life Goes Out.
MOnStrOus Deed Done by Two
FiendS.

A late dispatch dated at New York
gives the following particulars of a
most horrible crime:
"a crime more hideous than Jack
the Ripper's slaughter OF fallen women
has been unearthed in Brooklyn. Two
men murdered 9-months'-old baby
in manper inhuman and sickening.
Mary Wertheimer, unmarried, yet a
mother, was fond of dancing, especi-
ally with her two lovers, Adam Hass
and Peter Schultz. Her baby was a
constant trial to her, and an incum-
brance which dragged down to despair
the gay life she wished to lead. After
trying in vain for some time to induce
some one TO adopt it she decided to
place it in some charitable institution.
They all refused to take it, alleging
that it was too sickly.
Miss Wertheimer was rapidly losing
her gay spirits through the care of her
child, and so her lovers decided to get
rid of the baby in the hope that
Mary would again be her jolly self.
On Monday last Schultz and Hass
came TO her house at midnight and
took the infant, telling her that they
had found place to put it where it
would be cared for. She let them have
the child. She found out the fate Of
her child today and is almost mad
with remorse. The little ones life
was so cruelty taken that even its wan
ton mother was crazed at the thought
of its end. Hass and Schultz carried
the baby to Newton Greek. There
Schultz took off his suspenders, tied
them about the baby and attached
them to heavy stone.
The men threw the infant into the
creek, but the stone slipped and
the baby floated. Then the fends
dug hole in the mud and buried the
baby, which was still alive, in it. Con
graduating themselves on the dispos
al of the child, Hass and Schultz has
tened to saloon, where they cele
brated its awful death. They grew
loquacious with liquor. A detective
overhearing their talk, arrested them
, Both have confessed, each trying tt
prove that the other was the actua
murderer and laying the blame on thu
mother.

A few days since in our city there
was some little stir on account of q
terrible dilemma At the depot OF the
E. /. & w. n G. r. R., a safe belong
ing to G. N. Brown, of the firm Of
Hunter & Brown, was attempted to be
blown open. There was some money
in the safe, but it could not be learned
just how much. II does appear to us
that our noble policemen, clad in their
splendid uniforms, might keep close
on the heels of such daring deeds as
this, This thing was done in broad
daylight, and it does seem self-evident
to us that our Long Chief-being six
feet four inches in altitude-could
have seen these safe blowers, and then
they could have been brought to JUS
tice. These men who were trying to
get the contents Of that safe just ham
mered and banged and tried to burst
it open with crowbar, yet they were
unmolested. These men, who were
bound to have the precious things
stored away in that safe, drilled large
hole through. the front of that fine
large safe an tried TO get the valua
bles in that way, The combinations
had been lost, and it could not be
opened in the ordinary way, so the
owner, G. N Brown, was determined
to get the contents if he had to teal
the safe to atoms.
