Interesting Ceremony at the New
Court House


"4:31!' Superintendent Charles Ferrin
cried out yesterday afternoon. as the
last granite was placed in it's position
on the southeast turret of the big court
house tower.
AT that time there was quite a gather
ing up there in the mid-air some 900
feet above the ground. The city hall
and court house commission was rep
resented by President Johnson. Sec
retary Preston, and Commissioner
Erickson. Fred Kees was there in be-
half of the architects. Others present
were B. Aronson, William C. Baxter.
l.. A. McIvor, C. B. Leonard and
couple Of representatives of the daily
press.
The character of the place and the
thought of the mighty building which
was nearing completion added to the
solemnity Of the occasion Slowly the
last stone rose above the cornice of the
tower. For a moment it was let down
on one of the walls, so that it might
be transferred from the hook and
chains of one derrick to those of
another. When everything was in
order for the final placing of the stone
in its due position, the windlass was
manned by Commissioners Johnson
and Erickson, Secretary Preston and
Architect Kees. And so the stone com
menced to ris9 again. At last it hung
above the place where it was to rest
for decades to come. A sharp word
and the stone sank into it's position,
guided by tbs skillful hands of L. Aron-
son, brother of the contractor, and
the man who has laid every granite
stone in the whole building. Before the
stone was put in it's final resting place,
the cards of those present had been
mixed with the cement which is to hold
the stone in position.
When the ceremony was over, Amer
lean flags were raised on all the four
turrets, and a broom was nailed to the
beam of the great derrick. The latter
operation was performed by President
Johnson himself, who, for the purpose,
was hoisted to the top of the beam.

THE AMERICAN EAGLE,
Poiice Officer Brennan Believes
He Is n Fighter.

He Is n Fighter
Officer Martin Brennan, of the Fourth
precinct police, is not saying much
about eagles these days. A certain
eagle whose owner resides on First
street south has conceived a great lik
ing for lookup alley" and as he gets
out OF his cage every day or so and
Wanders about the streets, he gener-
ally comes up in the alley. On one oc-'
caSlon, as was stated by the Globe
the eagle, who is a monster of his
species, measuring over five feet from
tip of one wing the tip of the other
was brought into the central station
for being drunk and disorderly." Jail
or Emmett Golf was frightened out of
nearly years growth and the eagle
was induced, with some difficulty, to
leave the police station.
The other day Mr.. Eagle was taking
a stroll up lookup alley by himself.
when along came Officer Brennan.
Martin had on a new coat and was
dressed in his best uniform He for
got this, however, for he thought he
saw a chance to have q little fun with
the eagle.
He had altogether too much fun.
Brennan started for the eagle and the
eagle started for Brennan. The police
man caught the eagle by the throat.
and with loud Tapping of his wings
the eagle fixed his claws in the front
of the officers coat and tore out a
few yards of the cloth.
Things were getting too interesting
and Brennan shouted for help from the
officers stationed at the lookup. Jailor
Golf stuck his head out of the door.
saw what was the trouble and banged
the door shut and piled trunks against
it.
"You don't bring that fellow in"
shouted Goff. We've had him once"
Officer Ike Martin came to Brennan's
assistance, but the two were unable
to get the eagles claws loose from
Brennan's new coat. Brennan hung
for dear life to the eagles throat.
With sudden swish the eagle changed
his grip and considerable cloth came
out of Brennan's pants as his claws
struck them.
Finally the eagle was carried down
to the First street saloon where he be-
longs and induced to let go of the po-
Hceman. No one In lookup alley is
saying much about the eagle now but
loaded gun is waiting for his next
appearance in the alley.

There is nothing more deeply inter-
esting than scientific explorations and
theories on the probable condition of
the interior of the globe upon which we
live. The temperature of the earth's
crust increases at the average rate of
l degree Fahrenheit for each 55 feer of
descent. AT such a uniform rate of in
crease we find that we must only de-
scend to a depth of something like
thirty miles into the bowels of the
earth to find heat sufficient to melt
any known substance and that few
miles deeper all rocks and metals must
be in a state of white-hot fusion. The

Cannot Collect Taxes.

Judgment was yesterday entered in
the district court in the case of Bastin
against the state board of equalization.
The effect Of this judgment is some
thing far reaching. 1t means that the
county taxes, according to the county
attorney, are void. 1t means that there
are about $4,000 in taxes that county
cannot collect for the year 1894, and
that they cannot collect the taxes for
1895. Country people, who paid their
taxes, it is thought, can secure re-
bates. 1t is only matter of time when
the whole matter will be legally set
tied.

:. AS time went on the strange traits
of Mary's character seemed to de-
velop. She would leave the house in
the middle of the night and go to
the woods to sleep, and her favorite
food was wild fruit, nuts and ber-
f1es, which she gathered herself.
Fear was utterly foreign to her char
acter, so much so that it began to
be whispered abroad that she con-
sorted with evil spirits. So some
boys, having heard Of their elders
speaking of this, threw her into a
deep pool to see if she was a witch.
Sne swan to shore, and, springing
upon the ringleader in her persecu-
ton, beat him until he fed with his
face torn and bleeding. Her ability
to swim untaught increased the sus-
picion Of her supernatural relations,
and the neighbors began to shun her,
which was just what she wanted
To live in perfect freedom, eating
what she chose, and sleeping at home
or in the depths of the forest as she
preferred, was all that she asked.

could she be persuaded to do work of
any kind, and even then her labor
was limited to helping little with
the housework. Two years ago mis-
fortune came to her uncle's family,
and she was sent to America to earn
her living as domestic Some peo-
pie who lived near her uncle came
over with her in the ship. From
their talk of America she was led to
believe that she was going to
place of mighty forests, where peo-
pie lived primitive lives in the wilds.
New York waS a great disappoint-
ment to her. At first she was be-
wildered and frightened, and when
an opportunity to get work offered
itself she said that she wanted to go
to some place where there were
trees and grass. These she found on
Staten Island, where she worked as
aSdomestic for more than a year, los
ing her place finally because the
habits of her former life came back

MARY LYON, AN EXTRAeRDIN-
NARY WILD GIRL OF NEW
YORK CITY.
CENTRAL PARK.
FROM CHILDHOOD SHE HAS
E IS LOVED THE WOODS AND
s - THEIR INHABITANTS.
She Slept Among the Rocks and
y, Was Arrested for Playing
Queer Tricks.

Central park has lost its widest
inhabitant. So all the park police
men say, and they refer not to any
bird or animal, but TO a young girl
who for months has made the park
her habitat, says the New York Sun.
Now she is in the workhouse,
charged with being a vagrant, and
counting by little marks scratched
on the side of her cell the days that
must elapse before she can return
to her vagrancy. Her name is Mary
Lyon.
Before Mary came to America she
had always lived in the country. Her
parents had a little home in Ireland,
near the city of Cork, and here the
girl made her first acquaitance with
woods. No sooner was she able to
toddle about than she evinced a re-
| markable aptitude for disappearing
from the house and getting lost in
one or another of the woodland
patches near by. Before she was
four years old she made her first
endeavor at taking up a permanent
woodland residence, wandering away
one morning and spending all that
day roaming about in search of wild
berries which she ate. When it came
night she curled up in a hollow by
the banks of a stream and went to
sleep. Her parents found her there
the next morning, but instead Of
appearing glad to see them she pro-
tested vigorously gainst being taken
home, and when force succeeded to
persuasion she kicked and fought
like a demon. To- keep her at home.
her father fastened her to a tree
with a long rope tied about her waist
giving her a range of ten of fifteen
yards. For one day she moped, but
on the second day she recovered her
spirits, gnawed the rope in two, and
was subsequently, discovered
perched in crotch of a big tree a
mile down the road. Punishment
and appeal were alike fruitless.
Nothing could keep the child at
nome, and once when she was locked
in a room she beat her head against
the wall until she fell senseIess.
When she was four years old her
parents died, and she yent to live

about fifty miles from Cork. This

81 In the uncle's family were several
children; two of them about Mary's
age, but she steadfastly declined to

! timing to do with them. Apparently
she. felt no dislike toward them.
but their amusements did not inter
est her. She wanted ste be in the
woods constantly, and she soon
learned the habits of animals and
could call birds to her by peculiar
whistle. Once she was fortunate
enough to catch a, field mouse. which
She tanned and carried about in her
pocket. In vain did her uncle send
her to school. She would always
contrive to get out, if not by the
door, through the window, and es-
cape to her beloved woods. Ere
quently beatings from the school,
master We're her portion, but they
failed of any deterrent effect. Once
she turned upon the schooImaster
and bit him so severely that he car
ried the marks of her teeth for
months. Then she told her UNCLE
that she would kill herself if she
We're sent back to school.

said he. "All the other children will
fpoint at you and say: There goes

thing"

stoutly. Il won't go back

ply. II don't want any books when
l live in the woods. I'd rather talk
to the birds"

Yes, yes; that's what she looked
like
That's no suicide, then That's
Squirrel Mary. She can swim like a
fish and she spends all her time up
here fooling with the birds and squir-
rels, so the boys gave her that name
She'll turn up all right tomorrow"
And she did; for the next day she
was seen in converse ton with her
squirrels again. OF late, however,
many complaints have come in of her
frightening people at night. Not long
ago young couple rushed into the ar
senal breathless and frightened.
'One of your gorillys is out" gasped
the young man.
Haven't got any gorillas here" said
the sergeant. somebody's been fool
ing you. -
''Well, one of your big monkeys. We
seen 1t up a tree, didn't we, Nellie?"
"Oh, yes sobbed his companion
"Oh, it looked right down at us. oh, it
went gibber, gibber, g1bber. Oh, I'm
so scarf"
Here, what's this?" demanded the
sergeant. Get yourself together there
and tell me what you saw"
'It was a big monkey, as big as
man. said the youth. I'VE were walk
ing under tree out here, and heard
something making noises up above,
and looked up, and, oh, Lord! There
was it's ugly face leo klg down at
u.s."
The sergeant sent word to the keeper
who has the monkeys in charge. None
of them were missing. Then he sent
an officer who knows Mary to the
place where the young couple had
their adventure. The officer went there
and called:
MARY, are you here?"
From afar off, and seemingly up in
the air, came a laugh The officer re-
turned and reported. On the following
night there were two similar COM
plants, and the next night a man
complained that some one had thrown
a piece of branch at him. Detective
