SAD FATE OF TWO BOYS.
Locked in "A Closet While Playing in

Perish.

New York, Feb. 14.-Plumbers work.
ing in an unoccupied house on Edge
combe avenue Tuesday found in a
closet the decomposed bodies of two
/, boys. They were identified by their
parents as Martin Loefer, aged nine,
and Charles Byrnes, aged IL. They
had been missing since August last,
when they left their homes near by,
saying they were going to pick APP
pies. The building in which the bodies
were found in Il fiat house and has
never been occupied. When it was
completed it was locked up and all
that remained to be done on it was the
plumbing. Tuesday afternoon two
plumbers entered the house and were
almost overcome with the strong odor.
1t was strongest on the second floor.
They opened closet built into the
wall and there found the bodies of
the boys. The door has spring lock
and no knob inside, so that a person
entering and closing the door would
be unable to get out again unless it
was opened from the outside.
He pouS oi Loellef was Wllnout
clothing; that of Byrnes was clothed
only in trousers. 1t was supposed the
boys were playing hide and seek and
went into the closet and closed the
door. The closet is so built that a
person shut in it could cry at the top
of his voice and he would be as remote
from aid as though he were buried
mile underground There was a
bruise on Byrnes' forehead, as though
in his frenzy he had dashed his head
against the door. The whole city was
searched for the boys last August

their parents had given up all hope

interesting Relic Recently Added to the Mount
Vernon Collection.

The most interesting relic that of recent
years mas been added to the historic collec-
ton at Mount Vernon was presented by
Robert M. Brom6eld, of Philadelphia, and is
the carryall used by Washington and his
family for many years for light service.
When he travelled abroad the Father of his
Country commonly used big English coach
drawn by four horses and attended by negro
positions in livery of scarlet and gold. 1t
was an imposing spectacle, but for common
use the carryall, drawn by two horses, was
better, and it is curious vehicle. There
is no dashboard, and the driver sits with his
legs over the whifletree, supported by a
small foot rest. The passengers climbed in
through a door behind. The carriage is still
in very good condition in spite of its age

nym for sublime patriotism. He was the
richest man in America and had an adorable
wife, who idolized him.
1t might seem that the gratitude of free
people, the memory of the great works he
had done and the promise of an old age of
serenity, unbroken of strife or storm, would
have been sufficient to guarantee him against
any evil and to assure to him the sum of all
human happiness.
But, if the good and great man bore with
him to his beautiful home on the Potomac
memories Of battles fought and battles won
against self, against an alien foe and against
political adversaries, there remained, as
well, the recollection of calumnies that
would not die, of ingratitude sharper than
teeths of serpepts, and of ipjustices that
would not find reparation.
Grant, possibly, excepted, no president of
the United States was slandered as was the
Father of his Country. His enemies declared
him to be immoral, a gambler, durnkard;
with profting pecuniarily by measures
which had been passed by congress at his
suggestion; with being, now loo friendly to-
wards the English. and then towards the
French. They charged against him that
he had sought at the foundation of the re-
public to make of il monarchy, with him
self as its king; failing in which, he then,
after his induction into Office, had usurped
powers and prerogatives with view to ulti-
mate overthrow OF the republic
Washington was keenly sensitive and a
very proud man, and these calumnies were
as SO many vultures gnawing at the vitais
of his heart. While silent to the world, he
made known to intimate friends the pain he

The great man was not averse to third

expected by him and his friends that he
would continue indefinitely at the head OF

rule; his administration was founded upon
justice and tempered with mercy. A man
OF his aristocratic opinions and tastes could

ers OF the party in opposition to that which
followed his leadership. His soul was sick,
literally, of abuse, and he longed for the
asylum of Mount Vernon, where he felt he
should be secure against any attack, and his
heart would be at rest.
Against Mr.. Jefferson Washington felt a
special bitterness. That gentleman had
been very acrimonious in his attacks upon
the president, and, finally, made it SO direct.
~ personal that Washington, felt that his
honor demanded satisfaction for the af
fronts
In those days dueling was universal, and
Tue clergy even regarded IL without dlstavor.
But Washington believed it would be un.
dignifed, and therefore improper, for the
president of the United States to fight a
duel. He waited, although his proud and
insulted spirit chafed, until his second term
of office had expired. Soon after reaching
Mount Vernon he sent close personal
friend to Jefferson, with instructions to de-
mand written retraction of charges with
an apology, or G. meeting with deadly intent.
Jefferson was very discreet person, as
are most wise men, and Washington friend
returned with the retraction and the apol
ogy. If Jefferson ever thereafter assailed
the character of Washington, no evidence
exists to show It.
