RICHARD 0LNEY.

with a disturbed look on her face.
When / asked about the memorable
birth that occurred in her house sixty
years ago, she said: 81 don't know any
thing about it. l have only lived here
three or four years. Richard Olney?
Who is he, anyway, and what is all
this fuss about? I've seen lots of peo-
pie pointing out this house this week"
Upon being told that 1t was the birth
place of the secretary of state she said:
ooh, yes; well, I'll have to read up
about him"
Shortly after Olney's birth, his par
ents moved from the old homestead to
Louisville, Ky. While there his father,
Wilson Olney, engaged in trade unsuc-
ccssfully, and the family returned to
Oxford, when the boy was seven years
old. Wilson Olney then became book
keeper for the voolen mill in which his
father had an interest. In addition to
keeping the company's books, he was
clerk in the company's store, as Is
usually the case in the mill towns.
The mill was at Howarths, n mile from
the town proper. So as to be near his
work, Mr., Olney built home on a
ncighboring hillside, a little aside from
the fa,ctory tenements

This old brown house stands, but it
has become tenement, In which live q
mill operative and his swarm of chill
dren. But here at least the memory Of
the original dwellers is known, and tho
motherly housewife takes pride in say
ing that some of the younger members
of the Olney family were born there
The mill itself is run by its present
owners, Andrew Howarth g. Son, in
about the same old way as fifty years
ago, when young Richard played about
it and listened in childish wonder to
the click, click of the looms. The same
number of hands are employed-be-
tween fifty and sixty-the same prod
uct is turned out-white fannel-and
the same power is still supplied by the
French river, small stream, damned

two hills wooded with pine and maple
1t was in Oxford that Richard Olney
passed the formative period of his life
1t was at the district school here, held
not in the kind of little red schoolhouse
famous In story, but in a room of the
corporation boarding-hous that he
learned his first lessons. This building
Is now divided into number of tcnc-
ments. But among the shifting popu-
lation of mill help all traditions of the
old school and its famous pupil have
vanished. Only one old weaver, who
has worked in the mill as man and boy
for over forty years, is able to point out
the building. 1t was to this home in
the little mill hamlet in remote cor
ner of Oxford that Richard Olney re-
turned on his'vacations from Leicester
academy and Brown university, which
he attended.
The oldest resident of Oxford, Miss
Erlunia Smith, was teacher at that
time, and boarded in the Olney house.
hold. She is in her reighty-seventh year,
and she threw some strong side lights
on life in the old brown house.
81 always thought that Richard had
pretty high notlons," said she. "Thosc
times when he came home from college
on visits he held his head up well and
seemed to think a good deal of aris-
tocracy. got that idea from remarks
he would make. He was a great read
er, and l remember that on one visit
he brought David Copperfeld' and
read it aloud to the rest of the fam
lily evenings. While we women sewed,
Richard and his father would read
aloud"
The resident who best remembers
Richard olney as boy is Jonathan
Pratt Dana, eighty-three years of age.
He was school commissioner when
Richard went to the district school.

MISS HASWELLS MENT
Liable to q Long Sentence for Aid
ing Perry's Escape.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Aug, 19.-Mss
Haswell the Troy missionary, who is
implicated in the escape of train robber
Perry from Mattewan prison, has not
been arrested yet. Supt. Allison of the
Mattewan state hospital for the criminal
insane will get out warrant to-day.
Miss Haswell, who is still at Ocean
Grove, is shadowed by detectives and
cannot get away. District-Attorney
Wood said that the American Express
company might proceed against her for
receiving stolen goods; that she was liza
BILE to the United States government for
using the mails for improper purposes,
and that the state of New York will
prosecute her for aiding the escape of a
felon, which is crime punishable
by as long sentence as the felon who is
aided to escape. If this is accepted liter
ally the woman may be liable to as
long an Imprisonment as Perry's SEN
tence, which is 40 years. The main evil
dence on which the authorities expect to
convict Miss Haswell is the confession
of ex-Keeper Hopkins, he being willing
to turn states evidence, and the CORE
spondence which passed between him
and her. All the keepers negotiations for
the release of Perry and his pals were car
ried on by him with the train robber in
person. Hopkins is now in Jail.

TO FIGHT THE ITALIANS,
Colored Men of Chicago Secretly Ar
ranging To Go to Spring Valley.

Chicago, Aug. 16-It is believed the
colored men of this city are making
secret preparations to send an armed
body of men to Spring Valley, ILL.,, to
force a fight with the Italians there in
retaliation for the outburst against the
negro miners two weeks ago. 1t was
learned yesterday by the police that
colored man whose name is supposed to
be Robinson has been canvassing the
pawnshops in this city and has bought
over one hundred revolvers. One firm
of money lenders reported to the police
that they had sold seven revolvers to
colored man. The description of the
man they gave tallies with that in the
hands of the officers. Detectives have
been detailed on the case. 1t is said
the colored people have become dis
gusted with the public meetings because
their plans have always miscarried.
Therefore they have decided to meet in
secret.
At a meeting of the advisory board Of
the American Protective association of
Cook county resolutions were adopted
denouncing the mayor of Spring Valley
as cowardly, disloyal and un-American
for not using his authority to quell the
recent uprising there, and demanding
that the loss sustained by the negroes be
repaid. Sheriff Clark of Spring Valley
was assured that the American Protec-
tive association stood ready with 5000
men to go to the mining town to assist
him in preserving peace.
Princeton, Ills, Aug 19.-The services
of Edward Fisher, police justice, have
been secured and the trial of the twenty
eight Spring Valley men charged with
assaulting the colored population of
Spring Valley will be commenced to-day.
The defense have retained able counsel
and the prosecution will be well looked
after

NEW RUSSIAN MINISTER.
NJ. De Kotzebue a Man of Wealth
and Fond of Society,"

Washington, Aug. 16.-The new Rus
sian minister to the United States, NJ.

Cantacuzene, proves to be "A brother-in-

A Unique Revenge.

An ordinance requiring bicyclists to
carry bells and lamps, and not to travel
more than six miles an hour within
the city limits, was passed week ago
by the city council of Topeka, Kan,
and has caused lively rumpus. The
wheelmen object to the ordinance, es-
pecially that limiting speed to a brisk
walking pace, and the night after its
passage every bicyclist in the city
turned out with the loudest bell and
the brightest headlight he could pro-
cure, and a procession started round
the town making a hideous din. There
were COW bells, sleigh bells, dinner
Rongs, house bells, triangles and troll
ley gongs, while one man had a trolley
car headlight and half dozen carried
big stable lanterns. The uproar was
tremendous and the demonstration a
big success, in one sense. The wheel
men claim they are simply obeying the
ordinance, which does not specify the
kind of bell or light that shall be car
ried; but the chief of police threatens
to arrest the wheelmen wholesale for
disturbing the peace if they persist in
their novel demonstration.

vcntful course, hardly disturbed by a rip

"Well, well, it's nigh onto fifty years
ago Mr.. Olney was one of our school
boys" said Mr.. Dana, musingly, as he
sat on the front steps of his house on
the outskirts of the town. The good
old man shows age in the countless
seams of his face and in the ragged
snow-white beard that encircles it.
But his eye is bright and his mind is
clear as ever. He belongs to that al
most extinct type of old-fashioned dis
trict school commissioners who titled
their farms and stopped on the way to
market to visit the schools along the
road. In this capacity he served the
town from his twentyfifth to his sew
enty-fifth year.
1--WE have had good many bright
boys in our schools here" said the old
man, "but remember Richard Olney
was foremost among his class at his
age. 1t was at the district school de-
bates that noticed him most. then
thought he was about the smartest boy
in argument that ever saw. His logic
al powers were remarkable for his age
and the advantages he had had.
Richards mother was an intellectual
woman. She took good care of her
family, never had a servant, but she
was more than housewife. She was
a companion to her husband and the
boys-that l call a model woman"
Richard Olneys father was an unas-
suming man, who took the greatest
interest in his children. He wished to
see them make something of life. He
was n money-earner but not money
maker. He never became rich, though
during his later years he held the po-
sition of cashier of the Oxford bank.
His duties there were of clerical ma
ture, and while esteemed by the direc-
tors for his honesty, he was never re-
gardcd as a shrewd banker. He al
ways filed positions that enabled him
to keep his family in comfort. All he
could spare he spent on his boys
education. In this he was assisted
by Peter Butler, his wife's brother,
well-known and prosperous Boston
merchant 1t is said that this large
hearted man contributed to Richard's S
academic and college expenses.
The grandfather also helped the
boys. He was a money getter and ac-
cumulated small fortune by hard
work and close saving. He had the
reputation of being n hard man to
drive a bargain, though he was strict
ly honest. In his advanced years,
when he had considerable property, he
got into a dispute with the town ap-
praisers because he thought they taxed
him too much, and moved to Burrell-
vile to escape the Oxford assessors.
The traits of this strong, rugged man
are said to be largely developed in
Richard Olney, who made the success
in life which his own father missed.

Southern Cotton Mills.

BY the end of next year, without con,
sidering further mill enterprises, South
Carolina will have a grand total of L.
1000 spindles and 10000 looms, or al
most fourfold her equipment in 1890.
This estimate includes only the enter
prises that are already assured, and 1t
is made upon the basis of careful re-
view of the manufacturing industries
of the state. Thirty-four South Caro-
lima cotton mills, projected or in process
of building, We're named in a list
which was published recently by the
Manufacturers Record, and to this emu
meration the state adds two new mills
at Columbia that boast 10000 spindles
and s250,000 capital. The further
statement is made that there are being
added, or are about to be added, to the
cotton spinning equipment of South
Carolina no less than 1000 spindles,
and that, exclusive of the investments
by old mill companies of their surplus
in new mills, the capital soon to be IN
vested in the cotton mill industry will
be about 80, 5000
