Mr. Clinton lived in Dorchester,where he had a large establishment. One night his child's nurse was taken suddenly ill with a kind of spasm. The woman's servioosto the' infant had been invaluable, andiher faithfulness had won her therespeet and affection of her master. As the coachman happened to be away that evening and the necessity for the services Of a physician was urgent, Mr. Clinton saddled his horse and rode hastily into town and was very soon ringing at the door of the family doctor, in Boylaton street. His inquiry of the servant maid who opened it if the doctor was at Jaoxue was met by a reply which stupefled him ,for a moment, so that he fell ftack against the wall of the passage and far/got the. exigency of his errand. **Dr. J. is ont." said the girl. "Mr. Clinton, a patient of his, came in on horseback an hour ago, and asked him toconeoutof town to see a nurse in his family who was in convulsions."

In all other things the circumstances concerning two persons of the same patronymic Itas identical. The, hour, the illness, the vocation of the sufferer, the arrival on horseback, were accidental coincidences which led nowhere and meant nothing, though they might, with stimulating attributes, have furnished food for the wildest credulity.

message, wnich conveyed the singular intimation that it might be much to the gentleman's advantage if he would come to the prison. He found an evil looking fellow who, having just received a long sentence, which would in all probability be a life one, had been moved by remorse to communicate to Mr. B. certain facts in connection with a robbery of bis family plate in which he said he had been concerned several years before. The robber told his astonished hearer, who had long given up s)ny hope of detecting the criminal or recovering the property, that he and another were concerned in the crime. The silver had been placed in a bundle which was in his possession. His confederate was to meet him at an agreed place on the night following the burglary and they were then to make off together, but if he failed to keep the appointment it was a signal of danger, and the fellow who had the "swag" was to understand that he had better get it out of his hands without delay and secure his own safety. The appointment was not kept, and the thief, desiring to make an effort at restitution, however unlikely, had sent for Mr. B. to tell him that he had thrown the package over the wall of a certain graveyard which he described, and that it had fallen within the door of a tomb which was standing open and of which he indicated the position.

Expressing suitable recognition of the intentions of the repentant criminal, Mr. B. left him, scarcely intending to pursue the matter further. The next morning, however, found bim at the door of the sexton in charge of the burying place. The sexton, on hearing the description of the tomb, showed at first some confusion, which Mr. B. understood when he was reminded that the tomb described was his own family vault, and the sex ton, who had at once remembered a gross carelessness of his own, went on to recall the fact that the time was that of the death and burial, of a cousin of the family, and to acknowledge that he had never forgotten or forgiven himself the accidental leaving of the door of the tomb open the night following the funeral. The two repaired to the tomb and found the package inclosed within it, the silver tarnished, but untouched, just as the thief had east the family plate, by an unequaled coincidence, into the family burial place of its owners. —Boston T^ansoript. ,:4 fern

THAT BODYIN ATRDKK

Chicago Authorities Baffled Over the Affair.

OVER THREE YEARS IN TRANSIT.

It Was Shipped From Salt Lake City Feb. 8, 1893, but No One There Can Solve the Mystery An Examination of the Remains Show That the Man Was Undoubtedly Murdered.

CHICAGO, March 28.—It has been ascertained from the books of the Northwestern Railway company that the box containing a corpse, which was sold at the unclaimed freight auction, was shipped from Salt Lake City Feb. 8, 1893. The consignor was 3. M. Morgan and the consignee C. M. Morgan, 166 South Jefferson street, Chicago.

The big bos remained in the freight house of the company in Chicago for five months, and was then sent to the storage warehouse, where it remained until the auction sale Monday. The police here have communicated the fact to the Salt Lake City police in the hope of learning something regarding the identity of the mysterious corpse and how it came to be sent to Chicago as merchandise.

The man whose body was found packed in a box was murdered. This was settled definitely yesterday afternoon when Dr. Louis J. Mitchell, the coroner's physician, assisted by Dr. Hektoen, field a postmortem examination on the body at the county ixiorgue. Two large holes had been made in the skull, and either would have killed the man. The weapon with which he was struck was some blunt instrument, as was shown by the size of the holes.

The postmortem proved that the body was that of a man 5 feet 6 inches high, weighing about 145 pounds. Judging from the bones the body was that of a young man, about 30 or 35 years of age. There were two scalp wounds on the back and left side of the head. Under these scalp wounds were two skull fractures, the one on the back being round, one inch across. The one on the left temple was 1 1-4 by 1 inch. The bone in these places had been driven into the brain.

The teeth were all sound and all present. The hair on the head was medium long, straight and dark brown. There was no beard or mustache. The internal organs were all in a healthy condition. Around the body was a truss, made as if worn for rupture. The only cause for death found were the skull fractures.

The police are now endeavoring to find the expressman who called at 166 South Jefferson street last week with a second box addressed to G. M. Morgan.

IT WILL

REMAIN A MYSTERY.

Nothiug Can lie Learned in Salt Lake Concerning the Affair. SALT LAKE CITY, March 28.—Diligent

inquiry at the office of the Union Pacific has failed to get track of the man who shipped the box containing the corpse from this city on Feb. 8, 1893. The waybill at the office shows the shipment was made, but the officials are unable to say who the man was, or even what he looked like.

The man who says that he undoubtedly received the box, as he was engaged in the business at that time, was found, but he professed profound ignorance, saying he was not accustomed to remember the color of the hair or the eyes of everybody who made a small shipment of household or other goods. The police are just as much at sea as ^anyone else, and there is no one who remembers any sudden disappearance about that time. Since the receipt of the news of the startling discovery in

Chicago, there has been much popular agitation over the matter, but it seems to be the general opinion among the officers of the law that the mystery will never be cleared up in Salt Lake.

Possibly an Identification.

CHICAGO, March 28.—Henry Devere ana uas Marcel appeared at the Armory police station last night, and said they believed the body in the Wakein & McLaughlin box is that of Joanes Prosper Chazal, who disappeared from Salt Lake City in February, 1893. They have seen the body and feel reasonably certain it is that of Chazal.

Chazal lived with Miss Rolande as his wile, and the men who called at the police station said that she is now in Paris, France, where she went in the hope that she would be able to find some way to clear up the disappearance of Chazal.

Devere and Marcel both believe that Chazal was murdered and that the motive therefore was robbery, as the latter was quite well off and carried jewelry at all times. It is said that as much as $2,000 or $3,000 worth was in his possession just before the disappearance. The men said also that the police of Paris have been notified of the disappearance of Chazal and have for some time been working on the case at the instigation of Miss Rolande, who is now living on the Rue d'Dhartres, in Paris.

INDIGNANT ABOUT WALLER.

Oklahoma Nt'groes Employ a Kovel Method teMSxpress Themselves. WICHITA, Kan., March 28.—In the

negro settlement near Columbia, in the "black Jack" district of Oklahoma, the negroes are greatly incensed over the refusal of the French government to pay indemnity to ex-Consul Waller. When they learned that Waller was still in prison, an indignation meeting was held, and retaliatory measures decided upon. A French settler named Pierre Koulet, who had not renounced allegiance to the French government, was taken from his claim and imprisoned in a cave.

The negroes declare they will not release the prisoner nor disclose his whereabouts until France accedes to Waller's demands.

A HOUSE TO LET.

It was advertised in the papers after this fashion: A bijou residence, suitable for small family. Charmingly situated on one of the loveliest reaches of the Thames. A houee of unique design and exceptional sanitary arrangements. Sloping garden to river, boat, boathouse, stabling, fruit garden," etc.

Yet despite the alluring character of this announcement, the bijou residence went through two seasons unlet, its notice boards leaning lower and lower as the seasons went on over the stone boxed fringed garden walls with pathetic irresponsibility.

At length, simultaneously one morning in late July, two people caught the glow of that announcement from opposite corners of England—the one a man, the other a woman—and they bent their faces in its direction.

A geographical—as well as a railway time book—dispensation decreed also that those two people should make their debut simultaneously at the little wayside station, situated some mile and a half from the bijou residence in question. After that, how much fate or destiny had to do with it, how much man, how much woman, remains problematical. I defy two people of the opposite sexes to walk for a mile and a half along a boxed in country lane and not be oppressively conscious of each other. I defy a man possessed of the slightest moiety of taste not to pick out the various beauties of that woman if she have them and briefly tabulate them on the retina of his appreciation as he walks. I defy her, if she have a grain of that coquetry which is said to be innate in woman, not to display those beauties to the best advantage for his especial delectation.

And what woman ever walks along a country road rich in wild flowers without stopping every five minutes to pick samples of them?

Finally, the two drew up at the garden gate, if not simultaneously almost so, the man pushing the gate wide for her and waiting, and they arrived face to face under the trellised porch.

The woman had put a buncb of scarlet rowan berries in her hat, a corresponding bunch in her waistband. She held sufficient wild grasses and flora in her arms to decorate a font at a harvest festival. Her dark gypsy face had caught a glow from these berries her dark eyes shone she was not young, the man thought, but extremely attractive.

The sound of advancing footsteps— footsteps presumably of the caretaker— roused him from his temporary aberration. It occurred to him that speech was the only thing possible to save the situation. He raised his hat, displaying a grizzled bnt patrician head, and smiled. "Is the house let then?" he asked. I

The woman showed a gleam of teeth under the rich undulating curve of her red lips. "That was just the question I was going to put to you," she answered. "No," he said. "I have merely come from Dorchester to look at it." "And I have come from Cromer."

In the pause of which announcement, a woman, in sunbonnet and elogs, with that reticence which the caretaker exhibits when she does not want to let the house, slowly opened the door. She moved back, making room for them to enter, making at the same time a depreciatory movement with her bare arms. "It's all very nice and convenient like," she said, indicating the tiny drawing room on the right, the tiny dining room on the left, the lilliputian kitchen in perspective, the narrow stairway intervening, "fur a bachelor, or a spinster, but not fur themes is married. For them es is married—an I flatter myself es I knows, being myself a married woman—this 'ere bijou residence ain't 'alf,nor yet a quarter, large enough. A man may be es fond o' his wife es ever it is possible fur 'im to be, a woman may be es fond of 'er 'usband es 'er ever ken be, but they don't want to be knocking up agin each other all the livelong day."

Here the figure in the rowan berries summarily disappeared into the tiny drawing room. The tall patrician man, preternaturaliy embarrassed, strode into the tiny dining room, and the garrulous caretaker was left to finish her speech to empty benches. She imagined herself to be a woman of singular penetration, how&ver. It was her boast that she could grasp a situation at a glance and take it all in. Therefore she was by no means disconcerted till a flutter of skirts Emote her ear and the woman with the rowan berries reappeared, the man having gone up stairs, saying in a whisper, with indignation traceable in every word: "That gentleman is a perfect stranger to me. I have never seen him before today in my life. We chanced to arrive at the station together and to walk up to the house together. And now you can go. There is no occasion for you to follow me over the house. I prefer to look at it alone. By the bye," she added, "I should advise the owners of it to put it in other hands. Yon evidently don't want to let it I"

It does not take long to look over a six roomed cottage. In ten minutes the man was ont on the slope of garden in

the rear looking "idly ahead of him across the reach. He had seen in a flash through the staircase window the rowan berries going up stairs. He caught in a flash now the rowan berries coming down. "Will she go straight out by the ball door," he asked himself, "or come into the garden?"

A rustle of the silk skirts coming down the path toward him, a glimpse of a comely figure silhouetted momentarily against the pendent ivy, was the agreeable answer to this query. "As we have both come very long distances and indisputably upon the same quest," she began, "it is but fair, indeed the right and civil thing to do, I think, to ask you if you have come to any decision about the house? I believe"—here her eyebrows went up, and she showed a gleam of teeth—"in all business matters man takes precedence." "But, in matters of sentiment," he interrupted her, "woman." "Sentiment?" she said. "Do you think, then, that even in her business transactions a woman is necessarily sentimental?" "I certainly do," he answered.

She moved on down nearer the flagged edge of the reach and stood looking away across it to the green meadowB opposite, each detail of her oharming person duplicated in the water with distracting accuracy. "Ah, if you knew me better," she said, "you would find that I am a most prosaic creature. I threw aside sentiment ten years ago, when I threw aside my youth. My head at this moment, if you could only see the workings of it, is full of the prosiest speculations as to the drainage of the cottage, the exact character of the soil on which it stands, for I have a strong suspicion it is built upon clay. I am propounding, too, whether I like the kitchen range. The scullery strikes me as having been thought of afterward, and about the bathroom fittings I am just wondering. It seems to me they are inadequate, as compared with the flowery suggestion of sanitary perfection conveyed in The Daily Telegraph and, well, the drawing and dining rooms are certainly rather circumscribed, aren't they?" "Yet, at the same time, you are agreeably pleased on the whole?" he suggested. "On the principle that nothing, even in six roomed cottages on the banks of the Thames, can entirely reach the fullness of our expectations—yes.

He smiled and spread his hands. "In that respect the best of us are but as little children ever searching after what is absolutely impossible in this world—perfection," he answered. "Yes, why is it? We should not like it if we could get it either. Yet we search, search, search, and waste our whole lives.''

She turned her arch glance toward him and waited. "It is our disease. Perhaps it is put there purposely that we should not grow too fond of living. Besides—and here comes the irony of it—if everything were perfection we shouldn't know it." "No, we should want counteracting foils, like milestones, to show us it is perfection." Her eyes traveled up the green slope toward the house, and she added, reverting to it: "But you, you also, like this by no means faultless bijou residence. Yes, I can see by your face. Your face assures me that you have seen something today that pleases you."

He dropped his hazel eyes upon her and leaned on his cane. "Yes," he said slowly. "I have certainly seen something that pleases me today. But," he added quickly, "I am willing to waive priority if 1 have it, which I doubt, in your favor and back out of all competition with regard to the bijou residence. After all, what does it signify? I am a bachelor anything will do for me." "And lam a spinster," she said with a smile. "Why should not anything do for me?" "JE\)r all their never 'avin met till this 'ere morning, they seem to be mighty friendly," observed the caretaker watching their departure down the shady road together later. "It seems to me to be more a question of taking each other than taking the house. They ain't said nothing about the house one way or t'other, but they 'ave said a good deal about each other judging by their eyes."

The woman picked more wild flowers as she went back, the man assisting her. Midway down the dusty lane they rested on a fallen oak, the victim of a recent cyclone, and told eaoh other their biographies. At the inn, olose to the railway, they lunched together in the inn parlor, criticising the proprietor's ideas of art afterward, a task of elastic quality according to the degree of opportunity for lingering desired. And she—she never looked prettier, even in her palmiest days.

Have you ever traced the genesis of an acquaintance? It may be quite as capable of wide advances and undreamed conclusions as the genesis of speech. You may begin in the tropio of Cancer and end in Siberia or you may begin in Siberia and end in the tropic of Cancer it's all a matter of chance. But this man and this woman began and ended in the tropic of Cancer, and so there was a marriage in the paper, but the bijou I residence is still unlet.—George Wemyss in Sketch.

FILIBUSTERING IN THE HOUSB. The Btinlt Was the Passage of Lett Thra Half Dozen Private Bills.

WASHINGTON, March 28.—The appropriations committee attempted to take up the sundry civil appropriation bill yesterday, but the members who were interested in bills on the private calendar defeated them by a vote of 142 to 77. The members of the appropriations committee do not view their defeat as the result of opposition to the appropriation bill. Members from the north, who are interested in pension legislation, and those from the south, who are interested in war claims, have been chafing for some time over the inability to proceed with the private calendar. Yesterday, by a sort of combination, the appropriations committee was defeated. The victory, however, was completely barren so far as the southern men were concerned, as, after the house I went into committee, the Republicans forced a motion to pass over all claims on the calendar. The southern men retaliated by filibustering against the pension bills, so that the net result was less than half a dozen bills passed.

It developed paring the day that a lively tight would be precipitated Moaday when fclie sundry civil bill is called up on account of the fact that the bill carries appropriations for continuing contracts on river and harbor work and public buildings for only eight months of the next iiscal year. That would cany the appropriations up to March 1, 1897. '-Liie appropriations committee suffered anotiier reverse just before the house took a recess last night. It was Mr. Cannon's intention to force the house to sit on Saturday and proceed with the sundry civil bill, but the members were overwhelmingly in favor of taking a holiday and by a big majority voted to adjourn until Monday.

Senate Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 28.—The senate indulged in an acrimonious political debate yesterday, which developed much personal and party feeling and brought on two sharp personal exchanges between Mr. Hill and Mr. Elkins, and between Mr. Brice and Air. Elkius. The controversy arose over Mr. Hill's motion to strike from the peuding appropriation bill the proposed change of the date of assembling the New Mexico legislature from December to May. The debate took a wide range, Senators Gorman, Faulkner, Cockrell and other Democrats attacking the provision as political, while Senators Elkins, Carter, Uullom and other Republican senators defended it. Mr. Cullom sought to table Mr. Hill's motion, but a motion to this effect failed—21 to 29, whereupon Mr. Cullom yielded to the Hill motion and the New Mexico provision was 6truck out.

At the close of the day the senate passed the legislative appropriation bill, carrying $21,500,000. Aside from providing the usual appropriations, the bill is important in effecting a reform of the system of compensation for United States district attorneys and marshals, salaries being substituted for fees.

The senate adjourned until Monday,

THE PRESIDENT'S CHILDREN.

The Cleveland Babies Are All Bight Mentally and Otherwise. WABASH, Ind., March 28. Mrs.

George W. Steele, wife of the congressman from this district, has a letter from a lady in Washington, who is on intimate terms with the president's family, in which she sets at rest the story which has been going the rounds of certain newspapers, that the children of thepresident are not bright mentally. She writes: "I went over to see the little Cleveland babies yesterday, and they are just as bright and interesting as they can be, particularly Ruth, notwithstanding the sensational stories that have been print-. •v.t. ed to *he contrary. We were upstairs' I with them about half an hour, and I' held her on my lap, and know the child is bright and alright, and in perfect health and the image of her mother. I dwell upon this point because I saw re-. cently a statement from our own district, that a young doctor who had lo- *», cated there said that Ruth was at his father's sanitarium, in Missouri, hopelessly ill of softening of the brain.
