Mrs. Nelson, the blind lady who
lives on Guernsey street, between
Thirty-second and Thirty-third streets,
is very anxious to know of the
whereab bouts OF her son, Abram l.. Nel.-
son, who left these parts on May 18th
to go to New Cumberland, w. Va, to
go to work on job he had secured.
Since that time the family has never
heard from him, and as he was not the
kind OF young man to neglect his
widowed mother, some uneasinesS Is
naturally felt lest some serious mis-
hap has befallen him. The young man
was about 20 years of age, Of medium
height and dark complexion. He was
of good habits and industrious, and
expressed an intention wien leaving
for his work of letting his mother hear
from him often.
During the services at the First
Presbyterian church yesterday, the
horse and surrey belonging to George
Mertz, the North End gardener, was
taken from the alley to the rear Of the
building, where it had been left, and
the owner knew nothing of its alb
sence until he went to get it to go
over town, the rig was found near the
c., l.. & w. crossing, in the Fourth
ward. The surry was occupied by nine
small colored children who were en-
joying themselves driving up and
down the road. The horse was foam
ing and the vehicle was spattered with
mud, giving evidence of the high de-
gree of pleasure it had afforded to the
mischievous youngsters. The children,
when asked why they had taken the
rig, replied that a colored man had told
them they could have it. The respon-
sible party will be prosecuted if he can
be found.
About noon yesterday two German
residents of Grow Hill. in the Fourth
ward, Pete Diehl and Mike Miller, by
name, got into an alteration and both
were arrested and fined for being dis
orderly. Mike and Pete have been at
outs for reasons not necessary to ex-
plain in detail, and when they met yes
terday Miller let fly rock that caught
Diehl over the right ear, cutting a
smart cash. Miller also had a butcher
knife concealed about his person when
he turned up at the city building and
threatened to swipe Diehl. AS the
charges of neither party could be sub
Stimulated by witnesses, the case was
disposed of as above stated.
