NEW YORK, Feb. 20. DR.. Schultz, OF
the Presbyterian hospital staff. made an
astounding discovery in an East Side
tenement. He had been called to the
tenement, 476 East Eighty ninth street,
to attend young girl who had been
severely beaten by her father. His
prospective patient lived on the fifth
floor, and while the doctor was passing
through the hallway on that floor he
heard moaning. The sounds seemed to
issue from room next to that to which
he was going After attending to the
injured girl the doctor investigated the
matter. He burst open the door from
which the sounds came and pitiful
sight met his gaze. Leaning against Il
stove, which had apparently been inno-
cent of fire for many days, he saw a
babe not moro than 10 months old,
without a stitch of clothing upon its
emaciated body. Its eyes were half
closed and 1t was moaning with pain. A
few feet away another naked child, a
boy less than years of age, lay on the
floor unconscious from the cold.
Crouched in corner not
far from the door was negro boy
about years old, devoid of clothing,
like his companions in misery, and close
by his side, as if to keep the warmth in
his wretched body, was large mastif,
who feebly wagged his tail as the doctor
entered. The surgeon questioned the
negro the only one of the children old
enough to talk, but the little fellow was
so weak that he could hardly gasp out
dozen words. From what he did say,
however, it was learned that three chill
dren and the dog had been locked up
without food since Monday night. The
boy said man had taken them to the
room where they were found, stripped
them of all their clothing and locked
the door upon them. The children were
turned over to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, who will
investigate matter. The whole affair is
shrouded in mystery, as the tenants of
the house in which the children were
found, say they know nothing of the
case, and were not aware that the chill
dren were in the room where they were
found. The white children found seem
from their appearance to be of Italian
parentage.

The New York Democrats.

ALBANY, Feb. 5.--The day opened
cloudy, but, happily, without prospects
of rain to dampen the ardor of the
democratic hosts who began to gather at
an early hour. The New York commit
tee on protests stated the case. a mo-
ton by Cochran was laid on the table.
Geo. NJ. Beebe was chosen temporary
chairman and General Sickles perma-
nent chairman. Beebe eulogized Hill
and hunted his choice for New York's
candidate. Sickles also eulogized him
and said that if elected he would give
the people "au administration guided
and directed in all it's measures by the
principles, policy and traditions Of
Jefferson and Jackson. Senator Hill

speech. Platform: Sound currency;
reduction of tariff; presidency public
trust; no third term; etc.

Rounding up Wolves.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 23.-An enormous
wolf hunt took place Saturday
over in Crawford and Bourbon counties.
Kan. AS a result about 300 wolves lie
dead Both counties and others adjoin-
ing were secured by over 5000 men,
women and children, armed in all con-
ceivable ways. Two Thousand jack
jack rabbits were also captured in the
general round up.
Owing to an error in signaling there
was one break in the line which reduced
the number of captures, but another
hunt will take place next Saturday to
finally wind up the foxes and wolves of
Southern Kansas. There was but one
accident, Thomas Perkins being very
seriously bitten by two wolves. He will
not recover as he was torn fearfully by
the infuriated animals.
The hunt was divided into four lines,
each having more than thousand men
in the party. Each side was fifty miles
long, the square working up to the
central round up. Under the plan the
lines moved toward hollow square.
The west and north lines moved about
four miles and then awaited orders,
while the other lines pushed in more
rapidly on horseback, driving the
wolves, foxes and jack rabbits in front
of them

DEs MONIES, Feb. 22.-In the SEN
ate Senator Groneweg, Of Council
Bluffs, spoke for the anti -prohibitionists
and Senator Herman, of Independence,
against the repeal of the present law.
The debate was spirited and consider
able cross fire was produced. The most
exciting scene, however, came after the
senate adjourned.
Senator Finn, of Taylor county, and
a newspaper correspondent named II.
M. Belvel engaged in quarrel in the
lobby and the senator knocked the
newspaper man down with succession
OF we'll directed blows. Belvei, in some
of his papers, had commented rather
severely on Finn and the part the
latter took in the prohibition debate.
Belvel said, among other things, that
Finn was ibertine. an ass and
a scoundrel, unworthy as a man to rep
resent an intelligent community, and
unworthy to speak for the homes Of
Iowa.
Belvel also cast insinuations in regard
to the flowers received by Finn from
the 'women of Iowa" That Finn had
great provocatlon is admitted by all.
Belvel is acting as doorkeeper of tho
senate. He is an old soldier and partly
crippled. Finn kept pounding him after

But No One Has Found it.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2e-On next
Sunday Thomas L. Doran and three
companions, all experienced in desert
travel, will start from here to hunt for
the lost Pegleg mine, which has been
one of tht mysteries of the Colordo
desert for thirty years. Doran will pack
train of burros at San Diego with pro-
visions for six months, and he will thor
oughly explore the desert country where
at least dozen of his predecessors in
the search have left their bones. The
lost mine lies somewhere in the Colo
RADIO desert, near Warmers ranch. about
hundred miles from Los Angeles. 1t
was discovered in 1880 by an old trap
per named Pegleg Smith, who found
gold nugget on three little hills but did
not know it was gold until he reached
Los Angeles. When gold was discov-
cred by Marshall, Pegleg Smith de-
termined to hunt for this desert mine,
but was driven off by Indians.
About 1850 miner was brought into
san Bernaruino almost dead from priva-
tions in the desert. He recovered and
showed rich specimens which he had
found in the three hills not far from
Warmers ranch, and which, from the
descriptions. were identified as the Peg
leg mine. fle had $1,000 in nuggets
and dust and gave the doctor who cured
him $4,000. He arranged to lead
party to the mine, but suddenly sick
ened and died, and his secret perishel
with him. An Indian vaquero, who
lived at Warmers ranch, often rode ont
into the desert and returned with gold
dust, which he blew in on sprees in
Los Angeles, but was so cunning no one
could track him. Within the last ten
years no less than five parties have
started to search for the Pegleg mine.
In each case disaster and death have
followed. Tom Cover, a rich orance
grower Of Riverside, lies dead on the
desert, victim to his desire to find this
mlne. Whether he succambed to thirst
or was murdered by old enemies is not
known.
Doran has already spent one year in
the desert searching for the Pegleg
mine, without success, but he attributes
his failure to lack of system. He said:
"lt is an almost unknown region. The
country is barren and rough. and it is
hotter in some places than hades. The
heat literally dries up all the moisture
in persons body, and few days have
generally driven gathe explorer back in,o
civilization. Every foot of the way is
winding bick rocks, and under each rock
is rattlesnake. So death turks every
where in the earth ard air of the Color
ado desert. am positive the mine is
somewhere in the Northeastern part of
the desert. and we will systematically
search the whole place until we find
those golden hills
Doran has the map said to have been
made by Pegleg Smith before he died,
giving as nearly as he could the location
of the mine. With this map and his
previous experience he hopes to get
fortune such as came to Alexander
Montgomery. Of San Francisco. by his
recent discovery Of the lost mine in the
Mojave desert.

Permanent Officers Are Elected-A
Suunbble.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. S4.-The delegates to
to the Alliance convention were slow in
getting together, and, to make matters
worse, it was announced that, after
pretty near an all night session, the
committee on credentials was unable to
make it's report. This was explained
by the fact that number of delegates
representing organizations not included
in the official call had been knocking
on the door for recognition, and when
the members of the committee sepa-
rated, we'll on towards daylight, their
work was still incomplete. 10 while
away the moments of the opening hour,
the morning session was given up to ;.
seance of Alliance song, in which
"Dixie" was mixed with doggrell con-
corning Jerry Simpsons socks and the
woes Of the Georgia and Kansas FARM
erS.
AT 10:l5 the convention was formally
called to order, President Cannon asked
delegates to receive the report in the
spirit it was offered, and not to precipi-
tate Kilkenny fight. The report,
which was a unanimous one, and cov-
cred all the states except Georgia, where
there is a contest, showed that nearly
seven hundred delegates were present
under the original call. In addition it
was recommended to admit all the edi-
tors of the reform press, representatives
of the National Farmers League of
Maine, Of the Union Reform conference,
and of the Industrial Alliance. The re-
port was adopted in spite of the vocifer-
GUS objections Of a number of represent
atives of the Anti Monopoly league.
This made a total of twenty-five organ
izations represented.
A Vrnugle Over a Chairman.
A wrangle for nearly an hour was oc-
casloned by motion naming Colonel
l.. l.. Polk as permanent chairman
which was rushed through without put
ting the negative question. This
method of doing business was not
agreeable to number of those on the
floor, they claiming that the selection
was irregular, and that the roll of states
should be called. Finally, Mr.. Polk re.
fused to take the gavel. 8. F. Norton,
of Chicago, forced through resolution
reconsidering the action by which Mr.,
Polk was elected Nominations for
chairman were then called for. Mr.,
Polk was named by half dozen states,
and Kentucky nominated Ben Terrell.
of Texas. A rising vote by organiza-
tions was called for and Mr.. Polk was
again elected by nine tenth's vote.
John w. Hayes was elected permanent
secretary, and Powderly read a tele-
gram from the district assembly of New
York pledging support at the polls as
we'll as funds. At this juncture some
body found out that all the officers
elected were of the white race, and, as
the conference had already informally
declared in favor of no color line, this
condition Of affairs would never do. if
the colored vote was to be captured. So
Brother Warwick, of Virginia, dele
gate from the Colored Mems alliance,
was elected as assistant secretary.
