daughter of Thomas Minehan, milkman
living at 160 West Park street, died Mon

thrown there By Mrs. BONN, neighbor.

streaming around her, and although the
fire was extinguished by her mother the
child died that night. Mr.. Bohn is much

denies that she threw hot ashes in the lot

dent, she states, her daughter emptied a

A ONCE FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT.

He Excited Anger ~ Calling New York
"a City of One Street."
4 Antonio dailenga, the former famous
Times correspondent, died recently at
his residence. in Monmouthshire. He
had reached the ripe old age of SO. He
was member of an old Piedmo montese
! family, and was educated at the Univer-
sity of Parma. Leaving Italy in oonse-
quence Of the political events Of 1881,
he made his way after time to the
United States, but returned to England
in 1889. Later he was charge d'affaires
| for Piedmont at Frankfort, and from
1854 to 1864 was a member of the Pied
montese and Italian parliament.
Signor Gallenga was best known in
this country from his connection with
| The Times. which lasted from 1859 to
| 1888. In the interest of that paper he
repeatedly travelled through Spain and
Italy and through the Spanish Antilles
and South America. George Augustus
| Sala said Gallenga must have written
thousands of leaders ON foreign subjects
for The Times, and in his Life" tells
the following story:
"For many years Gallenga has been a
mem ber of the Atheneum club, and yet
not very long since, when was asked
by the pert young editor of weekly
paper to give him a list of eminent jour
nalists whose portraits he might have
engraved, and mentioned the name of
Antonio Gallenga as that Of one of the
most gifted and most distinguished
members of my craft. the pert young
editor stared at me and said he did not
know who Gallenga was. 1t was Gal
lenga who gave such mortal offense dur.
ing the American war by calling New
York a city of one street.
Gallenga was the author Of many
books-"Italy, Past and Present, ""The
Blackgowu Papers, " "Scenes from Ital-
ian Life" "History of Piedmont"
1.-THE Pearl of the Antilles, " Italy Re-
visited, 1.-TWO Years of the Eastern
Question. " 1.-THE Pope and the King"

others. He had been teacher of Ian
guages in his young days, and his edi.
tion of "Mariotti's Italian Grammar"
ran into some 10 or 90 editions. Many
of Ga,lenga's 6 earlier books were pub
lished under the assumed name of al
Marriott. "
One of the best known stories about
him is that concerning his visit, along
with Sala, to King Alfonso XII They
had travelled during the night, and ON
arrival at their destination were sud-
denly summoned to breakfast with the
king. But the cold had been intense,
and the water was all frozen, aud they
were in evening dress, with a good deal
Of coal dust ON their shirt fronts. Indeed
they looked more like sweeps than re-
spectacle journalists.
Suddenly happy thought struck Gal
lenga. did You ever try candles to wash
with?' he asked. And suiting the
action to the words he began rubbing
his face and hands with one Sala fol-
lowed his example, and both managed
to get eff considerable quantity of
griminess. They entered the royal sa-
loon, had a truly royal breakfast. and
the condition of their compilations did
not excite the slightest notice.-wes,-
