Watch Awaiting An Owner.

FROM the London Truth.
Here is yet another story of the honesty Of
chance travelling companions An English gen.
tleman met an American traveller in France and
spent a few days with him in Paris. Just when
they were parting the American admitted that
he had cleaned out his purse and must periorce
remain in Paris until he could get more money
from houe. The Englishman lent him 20 louis
and the American in return gave him his watch

from that IL has been valued at above $50. Pos

After nearly a quarter OF a century q little
medal which had been lost at Fredericksburg
during the war has been restored to its owner.
The restoration of this medal was one of the
interesting incidents connected with tho meet
ing of the encampment in this city. One of the
comrades, J. J. Boon OF company E, twelfth
New York regiment who was attending the en-
campment went on Thursday to Fredericks-
burg to visit the battlefield. While walking
over the field he met Mr.. MCGEE. who lives in
the vicinity. The latter accosted him and said
that ten years ago while digging post holes he
had found q medal, which he displayed. On
one side there was the inscription, WAR of
1861, Joseph Charlesworth. sergeant company
C, sixty-fourth n. Y. "" Mr.. McGee gave the
medal to Mr.. Boon and upon the latter's re-
turn to this city he went to the headquarters
of the second corps. to which the regiment be-
longed, and Mt the reunion of the corps he
asked il any man belonging to that regiment was
present Capt. F. C. Jones of this city re-
sponded and when he the medal he in
formed Mr.. Boon that he had just left Mr..
Charlesworth at Wizards. The two men at
once went in search Of Mr.. Charlesworth and
finding him they gave him the medal which he
had lost so many years ago. Mr.. Charlesworth
was much affected at the sight OF this relic
which was associated with so many relics Of the
war.

Last evening Sheridan tent was filled with
survivors of the second PENNSYLVANIA cavalry
and their friends and one of the most enthusi-
astic and enjoyable reunions of the encamp-
ment vas the result of the meeting. The second
Pennsylvania cavalry is one of the historic vet
eran cavalry regiments of the Army of the
Potomac, having been selected by every COM
manding general of that army for duty at
headquarters on account of its efficiency and
fine military bearing For several years it
served in the second brigade. second division,
under Gen. Gregg and always enjoyed the con-
fidence of that brave cavalry commander. Its
record is not surpassed by any noted cavalry
regiment of the army.
At the close of the rebellion a regular army
officer. Col. Saunders was assigned to the COM
mand and il was the intention of the govern
ment to send it to the scene of Indian hostiities
in the west, but the surrender of the hostiles
averted this, and the regiment was mustered out
in July, 1865. About $50 survivors of the regi-
ment still exist. its total number Of enlistments
having aggregated about 1900. Its fine and
costly bronze monument near Gen. Meade's
headquarters AT Gettysburg is one Of the meri-
torious works Of art on that historic field. hay

The assemblage was stirred when Capt. Seip
exhibited the old and torn cavalry guidon OF
company A which he saved at the battle of
Gettysburg and which he treasures as
precious relic of his command.
Stirring and enthusiastic addresses were made
by Comrades B. Chambers, d. s. Clark, who

A YOUNG WIPES FATE.
She Poisoned Her Husband and Now She
Must Die n Terrible Death.


In April last Mrs. Alma sairiio. the wife Of
professor in the state college at Tavastehuu.,
Finland. was found guilty Of poisoning hor
husband, and in accordance with the medieval
law which is still in force there che was SEN
fenced to be beheaded and her body to be
affixed to q beacon and burned
Mrs. SainIo is only about TWENTY-FIVE wears
old She married The professor In 1890 and has
one child. She appeared 20 live happily with
her husband and for a considerable time the
police were at loss TO account for the poison
ing of the professor. Finally Mrs. Sainio made
a confession. She said she had
bought strychnine capsule SINH
lar to the capsules containing quiz
nine that her husband was in the habit Of
taking For DAYS she hesitated to administer
the poison 10 him, hut one day when her bus-
band asked her for some ouinine she gave him
the strychnine. She then kissed him and went
to her bed room and put pillows over her head
SO she would not hear his screams while he
was dying. II Was charged that Mrs. Sainio
had been unfaithful 70 her husband, carrying
on laison with one of the students at the col
iege. She strenuouslv denied this. and said
tina: her motive in killing her husband was TO
get the insurance Of $4,000 on his life, she
was deeply in debt.
After her conviction the case was carried TO
handed down affirming the Judgment Of tho
trial court and adding the puni hment to be
inflicted on the unfortunate woman.
IL transpired during the trial that Mrs. Sainio
had forged her husbands name TO checks for
small sums some time before his DEATH and for
this offence the court of appeals orders that her
right hand be cut off. Then she will be decapi-
tated and her body fastened 20 a stake. covered
with intlammabie material and set on fire.
The sentence is most horrible one and il IL
thought that efforts will be made 10 get the car
to commute it.

writer in HtfrudstddsJtIi. the leading
paper of Finland. tries to prove that Mrs.
Sainio belongs To the class Of people called by
anthropologists delictu de nato or having a
natura predisposition for crime. She is said
to have all the characteristics of a poisoner.
Her head is unusually large and her forehead
greatly deyeloped The jaws, on the other
hand, are small. She was never handsome, but
her hveliness made her attractive.

Edward Nugent was the only veteran who got
into trouble and wound up in Judge Miller's
court. He came here from Baltimore and got
employment during his few days stay to earn
money enough for his expenses. Last night he
got drunk and Policeman Toler arrested him.
The old man had in his pocket a razor, shaw
ing brush and small looking glass. A charge Of
concealed weapons was placed against him and
the officer told the judge that he put his hand III
his pocket several times while under arrest.
What was the matter with you last nigh? 2"
the court asked him.
~ was drunk he replied.
How did that happen?"
''Woll, judge. the old man replied, "the bot
tie was passed around and took nip"
The judge thought that Nugent had the razor
for shaving purposes and not for the purpose
OF using 1t on any one. For that reason his
personal bonds were taken and the razor was
destroyed. In Judge KimbalI's court he was
charged with disorderly conduct and fined 81
or twenty-four days.
