Mother Swears OuL u Warrant for the Ar


rest Of Her Fourteen Year Old Daughter.


At late hour yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Mary Trinkweil entered the municipal court
room and swore out warrant for the arrest
of her daughter Mary, young girl only
IA years age, who had been Influenced to
laave home by an older sister and her para
mour man named Charles Adams. The
girls, Mary and. Kate, resided with their
mother and stepfather on Broadway, near
Fourth street, and the disruption of their
hitherto happy homo is attributed by the
mother to the bad influence of the man
Adams, whose depraved and insidious ad-
vances alienated the affection of the girls,
in an apparently legitimate manner. He
first paid his addresses to the Oldest daughter,
Kate, young lady 18 years of age, and
after short courtship, gained her own and
parents consent to their marriage.
The strange part of the story,
as related by the mother, is to the effect that
the two were married, as every one supposed,
in perfectly formal and legitimate manner,
after which they took up their home at the
family residence on Broadway street. A few
weeks since information was received by the
mother that the marriage of her daughter to
the man Adams had not been properly SOL
emnized and that the twain were
residing in her own house in
an open state of adultery.
Whether or not the girl had been deceived
by the william, is not known, but the irfa-
nous conduct of the pair was Indignantly
rebuked by the mother, and they were order
ed to leave the house which had been 80
grossly profaned by their presence. They
removed to the corner of Fourth and Rosa
belle streets, in house that is said to be of
ill-repute.


systematic and successful attempt was
then made to induce the 14-year-old daughter
to leave home, which she deserted few days
since to take up her abode with the guilty
and unnatural couple. The distracted
mother vainly attempted to rescue her child
from the terrible and impending fall, and as
last resort a warrant was applied for yes
terday. She will be arrested to-day and sent
to the reform school.

The many friends of the Rev. VIM. Mo
Kibben, pastor of the Central Presbyterian
church, will be shocked to learn that his
family circle has been invaded for second
time by the fell destroyer. On Thursday
last their infant daughter, aged 2 years and
5 months, fell victim to malignant scarlet
fever. On Saturday night another daughter,
a little less than years, the eldest child in
the family, fell victim. The afflicted
family have now but one child remaining,
where week ago there were three. Not
the least sad affiiction is the fact that the
disease was SO malignant that no funeral
services were held, the child dying Saturday
night being promptly buried Sunday morn
ing, to prevent the spread of the disease.
The disease was communicated to Mr.. Nc
Kibben's family by his being called to of
fciate at the funeral of child which had
died from scarlet fever. The afflicted family
can have the assurance of the deep sympathy
of the community in their hour of trial.

The celebration of the Feast of the Pass

citizens. This is special and strictly OBJ
served custom, enjoined for all time, with
all lsraelites. The ceremonies are Impress

forms of an important ceremonial. The
observance is celebration of the day
when the Lord was given sign by sprinkled
blood upon the door posts a.:d passed over
and spared from death the first born of the
Jews in slavery in Egypt. Especial religious
sentiment is connected with the due observ-
ance of the great event, which ultimately re-
leased the Jews from bondage, and made

tion.' The religious and commemorative
exercises last night retained all the features
established in the early days, and kept as q
custom dear and symbolical of the import of
the occasion.

The success Of the elevated railroads in New
York is not q certain Indication that they would
succeed in any other city. New York is very
peculiarly built up. Owing to its i1n1novable
boundaries on two sides, the residence quarters
of the city are necessarily remote from the
business quarters, and rapid transit is ques-
tion Of Importance TO large part of the popu-
lation. No other city is similarly situated as
regards transit within the city limits. But 1t
may soon be question whether the steam rail-
ways will not have to elevate their tracks in
cities. They are a constant source Of annoy
ance and danger in crowded streets. and city
ordinances requiring low rate Of speed are as
great an Inconvenience to them as they are to
the people. If their main tracks could be
raised they could effect an immense
annual gain in suburban passenger traffic
alone. The fifteen or twenty minutes
consumed in getting from the dcpots to thccity
limits are no inconsfderab1e proportion Of the
time spent in trips to aud from the near sub
nrbs. Half the ti1e consumed in making the
trip to Evanston, for instance, is used in getting
from the depot to the city limits, though the
whole trip is about twelve miles, aud the city
part OF 1t is less than two miles.
