RECLA|N|S HER CHILD
A Pitiful Story Of a Rock
bridge County
Girl.

LEXINGTON, VA, September 19.-(Spe-
clal.)-Nrs. James Pannell was given the
infant found Oh the porch of William Nc
Keever, on the suburbs of Lexington, to
rear and adopt. Yesterday morning she
was visited by &. young girl, who stated
to her that her name was Annie Moore
and with sol1s, as though .heart-broken
she admitted that she was the mother of
the abandoned infant. She desired to have
the child given to her. and stated that
she was so crazed with grief that she
did not know what she was doing when
she left it lying on Mr.. McKeever's porch
She also stated that she was near by
watching the child
The child was refused her by the adopt
ing parents. and the girl left. It was
afterwards learned that the name she
gave, Annie Moore, was false, and that
her right name was Peachy Miley, and
that she was from the upper portion of
Nerr's Creek neighborhood, and had been
living in Lexington for some time, but
recently was compelled to go to her home
in the country. After being allowed to
remain At her family home for two weeks,
it is alleged that she was given money
and told to depart for some other place
She left and it was thought that she had
gone away, for she disappeared. The
child was found shortly after she disap-
peared. and at that time, from its age
and surroundings, was thought to be hers,
but as she had not been seen, 1t could
not be definitely determined. The child
will be withheld from her, as it is al
legged that she now wishes to do harm
to it. The whole affair excited much COM
ment, and has some shady history con-
nected with it. The girl comes OF one of
the hest-known families in her locality.

THEIR ROCK ISLAND SCHEME.
They Launched It While Morgan
wa. in Europe. and When He Re-.
turned, He Found He Couldn't Get
Money for His Projects.

NEW YORK. September 19.-(special.)-l
Run,ors of disagreement between j. p.
Morgan and Moore Brothers, who recently
acquired the Rock Island railroad ana
have been developing that property alo1,s.
plans formerly pursued by Morgan N
his .read iustment Of properties. are heard
in Wall street Morgan has been greatiy
chagrined at the fact that the enter
orising westerners have put out their re-,
adjustment, plan without notifying MIN
at the time when he needed all availaDle
cash in Wall street to float his great
shipping trust and to carry out ms
scheme to combine the Louisville ana
Nashville, the Monon, and Southern Ia1i
ways.
When Morgan returned from Europe
he brought the details Of his shipping
combina ton almost completely worked
out It only remained to finance the deai.
To his establishment, he found upon MS
arrival that Moore Brothers had launcheu
their plan to readjust the securities OF
the Rocl; Island and had tied up all the
available money in New Y ork Boston
Philadelphia. and Chicago.
It required s30,ooOoo0 to carry through
the Rock Island plan. The plan is now
complete. but the s3o000.ooo is stlll tled
up, and will not be released until late III
October The money represents all the
available cash the banks and financial IN
stitutions can furnish in the present
financial stringency. When Morgan as
covered all this he was very angry. 1t IS
said he sent for Judge Moore and ex-
pressed himself in vigorous terms. Judge
Moore simply laughed over the s1tua-
ton and told Morgan he did not think
the great financier had monopoly OF the
money market. and he thought he mad
right to float his enterprises at any
time he saw fit. It is said Morgan was
forced to concede this. and the interview
ended pleasantly.
Nobody in New York would have dared
float such a gigantic scheme as the ROCK
Island readjustment without first consult
ing Morgan. Moore Brothers however,
have acted absolutely independent 81
Morgan, and have actually forestalled MIN
to certain extent and held up his en-
terprises several weeks. 1t is believed
this explains the delay in incorporating
the shipping combination and the new
Southern Railway Securities Company.
Moore Brothers now head one OF the
strongest syndicates in the country. They
control 5000. 100000 in cash.

A DESPERATE. FIGHT
AGAINST BEING HANGED
Convict Finally Subdued by Having
Prison Hose Turned on Hina-He
Dies of Strangulatfon.

Z NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-Peter Hernia
ensack, n. j., to-day for the murder of
Barney Kantock, butcher. but before
his execution was accomplished Hernia
made desperate fight.
When two deputy sherifs approached
him to strap his arms he suddenly tore
off two brass brackets on the side of his
cell, and getting into the corridor leaped
over a partition. He then tore off piece
of lead pipe, and crouching in corner
shouted that he would brain any one that
came near him. BY this time the jail
was in an uproar. The sheriff and his
deputies were at first puzzled as to how
to deal with the murderer and disarm
him.
TURNED HOSE ON HIM.
It was finally decided to turn a hose on
him. This was done and as Hernia put
up his hands to ward off The water from
striking him in the face deputy sheriff
leaped over and grabbed the hand of the
murderer in which was the lead pipe.
Other deputies quickly rushed in.
Hernia was finally overpowered and Sc
curely strapped. He was then placed in
a chair, and carried to the gallows, his
clothing dripping with water. He was
lifted from the chair and the moose
quickly adjusted ABOUT MS neck.
The sheriff then asked him if he had
anything to say. He replied in a weak
voice, Good bye all, excuse me-" The
drop was then sprung and Hernia died
Of strangulation.
The condemned man during the night
asked frequently for whiskey, and this
morning he refused to eat his breakfast.
When whiskey was refused he smashed
a chair in his cell, and two priests, who
were with him, had great difficulty in
calming him.
HISTORY OF THE CRIME
Hernia shot Kanter on March 4 last, be-
cause the latter would not sell him five
cents worth of dog meat. Kanter ex-
planned that his supply was exhausted,
but Hernia. pretended not to believe him,
and upon a second refusal in the day shot
Kanter. VINO died that evening from the
effects Of the wound.
