HEAVES TO AT LAST.

Meanwhile, the Childs kept increasing
the distance, when the cutter was seen to
change her course so as to bring her guns
to bear. The second shot was fired with
ball, which, striking the water only few
yards astern of the tug. had the desired
effect. The Childs heaved to and waited
Tor the cutter to come up alongside, when
she was ordered to return to port, which
she did, followed by the McLane.

Key West, Fla, July 90 The usual
stiffness of the Sabbath was broken today
by an episode in which the revenue cutter
McLane and the George W. Childs were
central figures.
AS indicated in last nights dispatches,
the Childs was known to be ready for sea-
and it was thought would leave some
time during the night, but not being able
to coal until this morning her departure
was delayed. AT noon, everything being
in readiness, she blew her whistle and
cast off from the wharf
Immediately considerable activity was
noticed on board the revenue cutter Nc
Lane, anchored in the stream, and which
had been watching tho tug during the
last forty eight hours, under instructions
from Washington. 1t was also noticed
from the volume of smoke issuing from
her smokestack she, toe, had steam up.
and was prepared to give chase.
THE CUTTER IN PURSUIT.
AS the Childs went past the cutter the
latter was seen pulling up anchor, but no
signals were exchanged nor was intima-
tion given of what was to follow. The
tug took the main ship channel and was
over the bar when the cutter started.
By this time the report spread through
out the city that the cutter was giving
chase: and crowds lined South Beach to
witness the race. A strong easterly wind
was blowing against the Gulf Stream,
and white caps indicated high seas out
side the reef, which retarded the move
ments of the old fashioned side wheeled
cutter, and favored the tug, which could
plainly be seen about five miles off shore,
rapidly drawing away from her pursuer
Captain Littlefeld, commanding the
McLane, realizing the situation, fired a
blank shot and hoisted signals to thu tug
to heave to or take the consequences
These warnings were either unnoticed
or ignored

that the jury had disagreed from the

the money you want. I have plenty

James was the favorite son and he
took the old man at his word. Going
to Europe he entered upon a life Of
pleasure in the principal cities Of the
continent. AT Nice, for LARK, he put
an advertisement in a matrimonial
bureau paper, stating that young man
of specified qualifications desired to
make the acquaintance Of a young wO-
man, necessary qualifications also spec
fled, for the purpose Of friendship,
which might in time lead to maui-
mony. The advertisement was answer
ed by Nine. Josephine Remoy, French
woman of rare beauty and exceptional
education. She was an adventures,
separated from her husband by decree
which gave her no right TO marry But
of this the young man was ignorant.
He supposed her to be a widow. me
Meeting thus brought about became al
first friendship, which did not develop
into matrimony, but into an Alliance o4
like nature. without the sanction OF
church or law. The pair went to live
in Paris at No. q Rue De La Madeline.
There n child was born TO them. IL
lived hut q few weeks, for the mother,
who seems TO have been possessed Win
a murderous mania against her own
offspring, strangled II.
Horrifled at this crime, Low deter
mined 70 leave the woman, but found
that his resolution weakened peiOre tne
influence which she held over nm An
other child was born and ano'her lnu'-
der followed its birth.
Then little Lillian came, anu IN some
manner. she escaped death at the hahus
of her mother, although the woman
triad once to strangle her. She was
preserved by providence, said AIR. Low
10 cheer my heart through the gloom
Of after DAYS and now, finally 10 Drlng
the blackness Of night into my soul
Another child came after Lillian. The
mother drowned it in tub OF freezlng
water. Again the murderess' lover
strove TO break away from her influence
but her power over him was that OF a
Sappho. and though he left her more
than once, IL was always to come PACK
at her call, powerless to resist her fas-
cination.
About four years ago a son was born
to them. Nine. Remoy, or, SIS she was
then called, Nine. Low, told the father
Of the child that she would bring II up;
but the boy was sickly and the mother
asked TO be sent to Cannes for treat
ment for herself and The child.
About this time Mr.. Low heard that
his father had lost 100000 in Wall
street. and that accordingly his allow
ance would be reduced to $1,000 per an
mum. AS a matter Of fact 1t appears
that the members Of the family in New
York had learned of the Paris alliance,
and cut the income Of James Low, Jr.,
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1895-08-18

on account of it, giving him at the same
time $4,000 in cash to settle an old ac-
count. When Nine. RemOy reached
Cannes she wrote for money repeatedly
representing that the child needed
PHYSICIANS care. In this way she eX-
torted from Low more money than ne
could well afford TO pay. 1t turned out
that the boy had died, perhaps from
natural causes. within a few hours after
the arrival in Cannes and the death had
been duly registered by new lover OF
the French woman, who posed as
James Low. Jr., and forged that gen
tlemans name to the death certificate.
On learning of this Low determined
to come to New York with his daughter
Lillian who had been living with him,
and of whom he had grown very fond.
A difficulty presented itself, however,
Under the French law Lillian was not
his child, but the child Of the husband
of Nine RemOy, whose name was Gall
lard. This was the girls legal name.
In order that Low might take his
daughter out of the country it was nee
essary that he should formally and
legally adopt her as his daughter. With
this end in view he told OF her illegiti-
macy. She readily consented to be
adopted and the process of law was fol-
lowed. in proof of which Mr.. Low now
has the papers. After their arrival in
this country Lillian who had hitherto
attached no Importance to her illegiti-
macy. became very melancholy over 1t,
and insisted on being recognized by her
father in al ways as his own legitimate
child. saying that She would leave him
if he ever gave a hint TO the contrary.
Nine. Remoy found ont in some way
that Low was in this country and COM
municated with him. A longing to see
her again took possession Of him. Her
influence again asserted itself as keenly
as ever, despite the distance and the
events which separated them. Only the
persuasions of Lillian. who held her
mother in utter adherence, prevented
his going back to her. Ultimately Lii
lian'S influence lCs- and he made a
hasty trip 10 Paris. There he found
that Mn. RemOy had taken up with q
French army officer, VINO, alter the
birth of a child, had deserted her. and
that she was under police surveillance.
He returned at once 70 New York. The
woman is still living, but nothing has
been heard from or Of her for three
years
In 1892 Mr.. Low and his daughter set
tied down in a quiet boarding house
on the West Side and lived very hap

a guile. and her father sought 10 keep

In the tragic death of Lillian Low,
whose body was found on Tuesday,
July p, in narrow strip of woodland,
on the very pinnacle of Washington
Heights. there is a romance that will
compare with the best work of lola.
Official investigation into the death Of
the girl has developed a human drama
Of wide interest. in which it is shown
that the characters exerted an inlu-
ence upon the life OF Lillian Low
which finally led her to self-desruc-
ton. The leading character might
have stepped forth from Zola's Rou-
gon-Macquart series, in which he gives
the history Of q French family under
the empire.
One needs but to read the story to be
convinced that the theories of Lom-
brOsO and the conclusions of Nordau
are firmly based. There is, too, in the
death of this young girl, a pathetic eX-
emplication Of the prophetic Of the He
braic decree against the sins OF the
fathers, and the Greek legend or the
avenging furies. Writers of fiction
who lack for material find it here a
plenty. The story is a sad one, full Of
human passion, human weakness, hui
man pathos. 1t begins with the find
ing OF the body of a young girl on
Tuesday in d romantic spot replete
with historical associations. 1t is pos
sible here to give no more thSn the
bare outlines OF the drama, but this
will suffice.
Tt was about II o'clock on Tuesday
morning when two barefooted boys, in
search of berries and wildaowers on
Washington flights, stumbled across
the body Of a girl ten feet away from
the roadway. They ran in fright TO
the nearest police station and related
the circumstance Of the discovery. An
officer was sent to the scene and found
the body as described. Il was that Of
a pretty young girl, scarcely more than

a child. with every evidence of refine
merJ, who had apparently taken her
own life. Lying near the body was a
pistol and a short distance away the
police picked up a bundle of cartridges.
The suicide had taken every precaution,
apparently. To successfully accomplish
her purpose. Her hat and wraps were
neatly folded and laid upon the stump
OF q tree. Her clothes We're new, as
though they had only been donned
few hours before and for the occasion.
The body was removed TO the Har-
lem police station. An examination of
the clothing brought to light nothing
which would serve the police in iden-
tifying the suicide. but when the corset
was Embossed the following note, which
had bees pressed close to the little
