LAST OF TUE BOOK TRUST.

ITS POWER IN INDIANA 13 BROKEN. The Work Jlegnn By The a-Isltnr Is Completed By The Bid For Furnish. lag All The Required Books At Statutory I'ricea. Until noon Monday the representatives of 1 he school-book trust felt Yery confident that their grip on the state, haken by the legislature, was to be tightened through the lack of satisfactory bids for furnishing text books. Fntil that time, in fact, almost up to the assembling of the state board of education, they bad been loudly proclaiming that no responsible firm would undertake to furnish books at the tatutory prices. They claimed to be pretty well informed aa to the lids already filed, and to know that they were uly for single books, and not likely to be accepted. The trust was also aware that if no bid was accepted at this time noce could be until the next meeting of the legislature, for the advertising appropriation fcad been eihausted, and no new bids could be legally received. But a big surprise was in store for the trust T-eopIe. Shortly before 3 o'clock Mr. Ed Hawkins, ex-U. S. marshal, now secretary of the Indiana school book company, appeared on the rcene and presented a bid which, when opened, was found to be for nearly the entire series of books named in the law. This was somethin? entirely unlooked for by the book trust. The company was in every way reliable; its bond was gilt-edged; the books it offered were fuaranteed to be not only equal to, but far superior to those furnished by Van Antwerp "Braga & Co., and the prices were within the limit fixed by ßtatate. The trust people lost that buoyancy of demeanor svbich bad previously characterised them, their faces lengthened, and they held hurried and excited consultations. AVhen the members of the board showed by their actions .ad remarks that they considered the sample books submitted superior to those of the trust, the not abject dejection was pictured oa the isces of the monopoly representatives. They faw there was no way of strengthening their cause, and that their reign in Indiana was over. President Smart of Purdue was the only member of the board absent. After reading the minutes of the past meeting the board at once proceeded to open bids for books the prime object of the meeting; Prof. Jones, r-eeretary of the board, officiating. These bids were opened and numbered. The first Mas from W. F. A. Sanders of Cambridge City, offering to furnish an advanced English grammar, known as "The English Sentence." He claimed for it superior merits. It is his own work. The second bid was from Dr. Ralph St. John Perry of Indianapolis, proposing to furnish rranusenpt. for a physiology, proserin? therewith certain electro plates suitable for appropriate cuts for the work. All he asked was a 'reasonable" royalty. The book would be divided into nineteen chapters and treat especially on practical topics which other authorities overlook. John Carroll offered manuscript, copyrighted for five years, for an English grammar in consideration of a royalty of 5 cents per copy. Mr. M. D. Muzand of St. Louis offered MS. of "Elementary grammar," royalty 1 cent. The Bowen-Merrill company oßered to furuish the "Indiana Commercial copy-bocks" for 3 cents. At this point Gov. Ilovey demanded of Secy. Jones that he ascertain whether bonds approved by the eovernor accompanied these bids before the bids were read, and unless such bonds be found the bids be thrown aside. The next bid opened was from the Indiana chool-book company, as follows: To tbe State lizard of School Boole Commissioners of the State ot Indian: "Ve, the Indiana school book company, propooe to supply the following common school text books specified in the sot of the general aemb!y of Indiana (house bill Nj. 2-4 1. enacted March 2, 19, at the prices here given, to-wit: First reader.

The Indiana seriei of copy books, six In number, herewith ubtnitted, are from aa educational Btaodpoint second to none. They do not a'oridpe the individuality of the pa nil, but inake good writers by teacbine movement. The sixth book rt'Cititutos a complete eo irso in writing and as to size, numlr of pages, etc., are equal to thoe specified in the law. In the hurry of preparing samrdecopies they necassirilr have to le submitted freh from the preM, and there may le line imperfections, but we ask that nothing of this kind shall mil Late azainst their merit, as all tuolts lurui.-hed on requisition will be perfect in thcie respectv PHYSIOLOCY.

Stradley of Cbicazo, offering MSS. for a lT. S. history for a royalty of 6 cents for each book sold in Indiana and 10 cents for each sold oat of the state. A general feeling of satisfaction was manifested by each member of th board, and it is believed the bid of the Indiana school-book company will be accepted. Tnebondof f yj.ooo riren by the- Indiana company is an ironclad one. The comranv binds itself to furnish the books on which it bid in every way np to the standard. Any violation in any particular forfeit the bond; it acknowledges any member of the board of education or tbe attorney general as the proper relator to begin suit for the forfeiture of the bond.

SHE 3IET DEATH CALMLY.

MRS. WHITEL1NG STRETCHES HEMP. A Most Itemnrkable Kxltibltlon of Fortitude and Resignation to Her Fate Death Instantaneous From StrauSulatlon Story of Uer Crime, Philadelphia, Pa., June 2". Mrs. Sarah Jaue Whitclia? was banned this morning in the corridor of the county prison. The drop fell at 10:07 o'clock and the body was lowered and removed at 10:41. The woman's bearing throughout the terrible ordeal was a most remarkable exhibition of fortitude and resignation to her fate. Puring the entire morning sho never for a moment showed the slightest evidence of weakness and frequently expressed her pleasure at the prospect of "meeting; her husband and children." The several physicians who were present at the execution, and who have more or less frequently been with the condemned woman during her incarceration, expressed surprise at the woman's calnineei in meeting her death, although they agreed in the statement that fdie lias at no time shown auy evidence whatever of an unsound mind. Mrs. Whiteling spent her last night in walking about her cell, einging and pray in jr. in which ehe waa joined at intervals by Mr?. Weaver, the prison matron, and a watch woman, who were with Ler throughout the niilht. Shortly before b" o'clock this morning she ate with apparent relish a breakfast, consisting of fried etri,'. toast and chocolate. Soon after tiiat hour tdie wasi taken from her cell in the female department to a cell in the male department, in the corridor of which the scafold for her execution was ttandin. Jhe was joined in her new cell by her spiritual adviser, the Ilev. William D. Jones, of the Scott metbodist episcopal church, and her undertaker, Samuel W. Kehr, who is also a local methodiit preacher, and who also officiated at the burials of her poisoned husband and children. Mrs. Whiteling ioined in the devotional erviecs with considerable spirit and apparently obtnined much comfort therefrom. At 1 o'clock the condemned woman was brought from the cell end SherilF Krumbhaar and Prison Physician Paxson headed the procession to th ncarlobl. Mrs. YVhitelinsr was escorted by the two ministers, but they gave her no aid whatever, she walking firmly aud fehowin;; no hesitation. Arriving at the scaffold she ascended the ten or a dozen steps uuassitcd, excepting that each of her spiritual advisers retaiued a gentle hold of either arm. The sherirTs deputies then placed a leather ttrap aronnc1. her skirts at the ankles and shackled her hands, the condemned woman meanwhile, with uplifted eyes, repeating a prnyer delivered by the Rev. Mr. Jones. The black cap was then adjusted, and at 10:7 the trip was sprung and Mrs. Whiteling was dropped into eternity. The fall was about five feet and the physicians stated that death was instantaneous from strangulation, though the heart continued to boat spasmodically for some time thereafter. The body was lowered at 10:41 and turned over to Dr. Alice Eennet of the insane hospital, for an examination of tbe braiu, after which the remains will be turned over to the nndertaker for burial at the Bide of the murdered husband and children. The only witnesses of the execution were the sheriff and his deputies, the prison officials, physicians and about a dozen newspaper men. This was the tirst execution of a female in Philadelphia county. There have, however, been several women hanged in other counties in Pennsylvania. The crime for which Mrs. Whitelinc suffered the extreme penalty of the law was the deliberate poisoning of her husband and two children with arsenic for the purpose of securing the small insurance which f he carried on each of their lives. The Whiteling family consisted of John Whiteling, the husband and father, aged thirty-eight years: Bertha, n:ne years old; Willie, nearly three year old and farah J. Whiteling, the murderess, who was two years older than her husband. The husband died on March L"0, lcSS, and the doctor who attended him gave certificate of death from inflammation of the bowels. Oa the L'4 h of April Derth3 died and the same doctor certified that tdie died of gastric fever. Willie died May t, as was supposed at the time, of congestion of the bowels. Dr. .Smith, who had attended the two previous cases, refused to take charge of Willie's case and another doctor was called in. After the third death Dr. Smith's suspicions were aroused that all was not right and he communicated his suspicions to tbe coroner, who ordered that the bodies be exumed. An analysis of the corpses showed enough arsenic to cause death. Tbe coroner summoned Mrs. Whiteling and charged her with killing her huband and the two children. After some hesitation the woman admitted that she had Eoisoned her two children, but claimed that er husband took bit own life, the made a full confession, minutely detailing the agonies of her victims in their death strugclcs. iShe first told how her husband, who was sickly and had been ailing for several weeks, had told her that lie had taken a portion of a box of poison which she had bouzht for use in Urivincf vermin from the house. She summoned a physician, but did not tell him that her husband hid taken tbe poison, because, us she said, of a clause in his insurance policy, which declared that no money would be paid to suicides. His life was insured In an industrial company for and he whs also a member of the benevolent order of Bu:laio, which organization paid the widow About one month after the death of the husband fehe beizan administering po:non to the daughter, Hertha, who is described n having been a sweet-faced, dark-haired child, the favorite in the school which she attended. A doctor wa,s called in ar'ter tbe neighbors bad urged it, though Mrs. Whit' ling declared that she had a premonition that her child would not live. The doctor left powders to be given every half hour, but instead of giving the medicine the unnatural mother gave her child poison, and iu three days the little girl was (lend. Her life was injured for .?1 '.!. On? mouth biter the woman decided to kill her little boy, whose life was insured for $47, and she used the fame methods as described in little Ilertha's case. Altogether the insurance siie realized by the three deaths amounted to fW. Mrn. Whiteling's trial took place last November, the defense raised being insanity, but her counsel were totally unable, though a number of insanity experts were called, to prove their client insane, and she was convicted and sentenced to be hanged. All the circumstances point to the woman hanged to-day as being one of the most calculating ami deliberate murderesses ever executed It is stated th-it while her children were ill she cave to the little ones in the neighborhood candy which made them very sick, and in which she bad probably placed some of the deadly poison, her evident idea being to create a false impression as to the cause of the death of her own children, since, when the coroner first questioned her, she told hin that her children ate n great deal of candy and she thought that might have had something to do with their disease. Every effort had been made by Mrs. "WhiteÜDg'a counsel to give her life; first, by proving her to be insane, and also on the sentimental ground that being a woman, the extreme penalty of the law 6honld not be administered, and a number of philanthropic women also interested themselves in her behalf and endeavored to secure a commutation of her death sentence, but the eßorta were unavailing and the miserable woman had to hang, the only clemency extended her being a short respite by the governor. "Red Nosed Silke" Hanged. Wilkesbabre. Pa., June 25. Michael Pwizello, alias "Eed Nosed Mike " was hanged here at 10 o'clock this morning;. Death resulted from strangulation. Tbe crime for which he paid the death penalty was the murder of J. Brainerd McClnre, paymaster for Contractor Charles McFadden, and Hugh Flannigan, in October last. The murder was committed for the purpose of rob bery, McClnre having with him at the time f 12.000, intended to pay off the workmen. This the murderer secured. Capt. Dawson's S:yr Acquitted. Charleston, June 20. The jnry in the McDow case was charged by J nage Keenhaw at 12:30 to-day. and after deliberating for two tours returned with a rerdict of "not guilty."

AFFAIRS AT JOHNSTOWN.

The Situation Crowing: Brighter Two Thonsand Three Hundred Bodies Found. Johxstowx, June 27. Th transportation department was closed to-day and for a time vo passes over any railroad will be issued from here. The local finance committee met this afternoon. A telesram was received from Gov. Heaver approving the committee's suggestions for the houses. The governor is willing for tho master carpenter to go ahead and build temporary houses out of the lumber shipped, instead of ordering any more of the Chicago portable bouses. Five bodies were fonnd to-day. Two of them were identiöed. Notwithstanding the rain this afternoon work was pushed forward rapidly. F.very effort is being made to get the bulk of the military away from here by Saturday. Many of the more conservative citizens are apprehensive that the contemplated departure of the soldiers will be a dangerous move. They are fearful that an abandonment of the military restraints will encourage lawlessness, as there are certainly many questionable characters now here waiting an opportunity to pillage and steal. The civil authorities are fearful that they have not euihciently recovered from their pa'ralyzatiou to assume control under the circumstances. JohnstowNj Pa., June 27. The Johnstown finance committee issued to the press to-day an appeal to all committees holding funds for the relief of the sufferers. The address says that there is urgent need for tbe money, and ftfksthntitbe no longer withheld. It is the committee's desire to get tbe community on a self-sustaining basis as quickly as possible and cease all aid. JonxsTOWS, June The situation in Johnstown is growing brighter everyday. The spirits of the people are morebouyant aud they are beginning to feci like returning to work. Eighty thousand dollars in cash arrived to-day to pay the men in the various departments. It was distributed among the contractors and the heads of departments to pay the men under them. The Fourteenth regiment was paid off, and with the exception of three companies will return to Pittsburg to-morrow. The work of registering the flood sufferers for the purpose of distributing local funds was finished to-night, bnt the totals have not been added. The men in charge of the work do not think that more than four thousand persons were lost The asle plant of tho Cambria iron company started up to-day. The Rev. Mr. Beale, chairman of the morgue committee, made his official report. He has a record of about two thousand three hundred bodies. Ten bodies were recovered to-day, three of whom were identified. The greatest loss of life occurred in Washiugton-st, nineteen persons beinsr killed in one bouse, and the list of dead from this thoroughfare reaching 135. Property losses amounting to nearly J''0, 000,000 have been reported. The board of inquiry began its work to-day in the Seventh ward, and will continue for a week. They aim to secure the number of lives and property lost and saved. Two men with an order purporting to come from Gen. Hastings appeared at the home of Mrs. Moses Kelly in Morrellville and asked for Leona, the eleven-year-old daughter of G. A. Smith. They said they would take her to the orphans' home in Pittsburg. It now develops that Gen. Hastings never signed such an order, and it is feared the yonnz girl was kidnaped. Johnstown, Pa., June 29.

JOHN L. OFF FOR THE SOUTH

HE STARTS FOR THE BATTLE GROUND The rat Slug-frer Spends th Last Day Itef.ire tho Journey In Training- Sullivan In I jcellent Condition Kilravin 1'ronouDced a Winner. Nev- Obleaxs July 1. Sullivan's friends received word this morning that Sullivan has started for the iSouth. Sullivan will spend Friday and Saturday at Spanish Fort, where preparations are beinff made to receive him. The twenty-four foot ring or square in which the preat fight will take place will be surrounded by another ring at a distance of six feet. Within this will be seated the representatives of the press, tho seconds, bottleholders and a cordon of police. Outside of this will be another ring at a distance of forty-five feet within which those holding fifteen-dollar tickets will be seated. Police will also pr.ard this ring, both on the inner and outer sides, to prevent any interference with the fiVbters or their 5econds. A passage way will be formed to allow the fighters to enter, jumping over the ropes of the outer ring. Frof. Dennis F. Butler has been given the superintendency of the construction of the ring. Tbe ropes used in the SullivanRyan fight at Mississippi City will also be used in the coining fight. Captain Jamieson of Meridian, with twenty resolute Mississippians, will have charge of the inner riDg. In addition to this special guard, there will be a reinforcement of forty tried men from the city, who, with Jamieson's guard, will preserve order. So far notices have been received that parties have been made up to come to the fight from Hazelhurst, Yicksbure, Geeenville, Memphis, Jackson, Tenn., Cairo, Houston, Galveston. San Antonio, Fort Worth, Pensacola, Jacksonville, New York, Chicago, Montgomery, Denver, Mobile, Birmingham and St. Louis about two thousand iu all. to date. Retting men are still wary, but there is no end of interest in the fipht, and New Orleans is now atlected with the worst kind of athletic fever. Much curiosity ie expressed as to when the trains are to leave the city for the battle ground on the morniucr of the fight. That point has not yet been definitely decided, but is believed that an early special train to carry press reporters, telegraph operators, backers of the mn, and interested parties will leave tbe city between 4 and 5 o'clock on the morning of the fi'ht for the rinir-side. Attached to this train will be, iu all liklihood, a coach carrying one of the principals in the fight. It is thought the one will be Kilrain, who will occupy the coach during the night and not leave it until he gets out and fchies his castor into the ring. Arrangements will probably be made to have Sullivan, bis trainers and secouds, go over the evening before, it being thought that quarters quite near to tbe scene of the fight may be obtained where the big pugilist can have a quiet night's rest. These arrangements are being made because it is not thought desirable to have the two men go over on the same train. When the firtt train pets to the crounds all details will be perfected and everything gotten in readiness to have the pugilists fight instantly after the arrival of the excursionists. The train proper carryintr spectators will probably get off about ti o'clock in the morning. The scene picked out, it is said, is not on tbe railroad track, but is not far enough away to make it difficult to reach. The fact that there are several spots on the line of road in several parishes 6et at rest all doubt as to police interference. If there should be any indication of interference of officials at the points selected, an event not at all likely to occur, the train .will move on a piece further. Jack Barnett, Sullivan's representative, this morning received a dispatch from Mr. James Magruder of Richmond, Va., stating that be will leave immediately for this city. He also telegraphed that he had l,0"0 which he would like to place on Sullivan. He would be willing to lay the $1,000 against $500. Twenty-five cars had been engaged for the day of tbe fight, but from present indications fully ten more will be needed. A party of twenty-five sports will arrive from Denver this evening. Birmingham ia sending a delegation of 100 to the fight, Frof. Mike Donovan and Charles Mitchell will be the stars at the benefit tendered Prof. Butler by the Southern Athletic club on Saturday evening. EN ROUTE SOUTH. Sullivan, Mul loon and Party Traveling in a Special Train. BfFFALO, N". Y., July 1. A special train on the West fchore, consisting of two AVajner sleeping cars and a bagsrage car, left Rochester at 8:3ö o'clock to-night, undercharge of Thomas Kilkenny of Syracuse, and picked up Sullivan, Muldoon, Charlie Johnson and J. G. Warner of Rochester, at Churchville junction. The pugilist and his trainer had left the W., X. Y. Sc P. train before arriving at Rochester and had gone around the city to avoid the crowd. They Lad been misdirected and came into the cars bathed with perspiration, for they had tramped about fifteen miles without any supper. Sullivan was the most cheerful oi the four. He wore a white, soft, felt hat, a coarse woolen undershirt with a tourist shirt of pink flrnnel over it and a rough suit of clothes. Muldoon was not in a mood for talk, and soon ordered Sullivan into the car which had been reserved for them. Muldoon later said: "Sullivan is ready for a long or short ficht, whichever it may be. lie is nble to fight furiously ar.d fat for an hour, or slow and sure for three hours." The chnmpion was tired and soon fell asleep, while Muldoon watched over him in a fatherly wny. Muldoon had on board some jugs of water hermetically sealed, which he has brought from Lis well r' "elfast. At Clarence, near this city, Sulliva. was piven a lunch of hard boiled eggs, corned beef and sandwiches and tea, which Muldoon got at a hotel near the station. The special train arrived in Butfalo at midnight and was switched to the .Nickel Plate tracks at East Buffalo, without coining into the city, thereby disappointing another crowd of friends who were waiting at the station to catch aglitupse of him. The train will arrive at Cleveland to-morrovr morning. SPENT THE DAY IN WORK. Muldoon Keeps Sullivan Training to tha I.at Minute. Belfast, X. Y., July l.-.Tohn L Sullivan, having postponed his departure for Rochester until 3:13 p. m. to-day at the solicitation of bis trainer, devoted the forenoon to his usual work. As the weather was cloudy, the daily jaunt was omitted and the exercise was confined to indoor work. For fifteen minutes Sullivan put the heavy ball, and then hammered the heavy raw-hide bag for three-quarters of an hour. If he lands one of those in the first round " 6aid Muldoon to the reporter, as with the old swinging right hand blow Sullivan sent the bag whizzing to the planking, "about 5,000 people will leave the rin? side disgusted at the brevity f the contest." Apparently not a whit tired after his hour's labor, John seized the skipping rope and with a light and airy step skipped l.OCG consecutive times without a miss. Muldoon then threw a huge blanket over his charge and led birn to a couch, where he lay for a minute, perspiring freely. "Tell my friendKabont this," said John to the reporter, "so Pfey can refute the state ments that my legs are gone." Rubbing down and a sucoession of shower bsths concluded the morning's work, and preparations for the journey were then bej;un. WENT TO SEE KILRAIN. Ills Hotel at Baltimore Crowded With the Cartons In Oreat Condition. Baltimore, Md., July 1. It is only in race week that Pimliovave. presents the appear ance it did yesterday. Nondescript Tehicles, bicycles and horse-cars carried over a thousand people out the avenue, and they went to see Jake Kilrsio. he prize-fighter. Ilia hotel (Hal

stead's) was their stopping place, and the crowd loitered throughout the morning and evening to catch a glimpse of the man who, a week from to-day. will nieet John I Sullivan in the prize ring. If the result of his trip to New )ork, Mitthell said but little, but that was f ignitipaut, and the visit seems to have resulted to his liking. He met tbe Snilivan penjde at Coney Island, and fouud them intent on having the match transpire. They wanted a fair field and no favors, aud seemed ready to fj'ht. He aid there was no likelihood of there being any hitch in the arrangements. Just exactly what day this week, and bv what route he end Kilrain would go south had not been determined. Those who got a eood look at Kilrain yesterday pronounced him as a man lit to tight for his life, and could not conceive his being anything else than a dinner. Will Win or Die In The Rlnjr. TtOcnESTF.it, X. Y.. July 1. Yonr correspondent met the Sullivan party to-day forty miles from Rochester, and rode with them to thie city. Sullivan looked to be in tip-top condition, with the exception of a dull expre.-sion of the eye and a slightly h-tgeard look on his face, that indicated wenrines;!. Asked how he felt as compared with the time when he fought Ilyan. he said : "I am as good a man now aa then ; 1 won't say I am better; I feci iu pertect shape every way and intend tt make the fi?ht the best of my life. My training has brought me down to 1J)7 pounds, but I expect to eain enough between now and July 8 tobring me back to I'O.'l pounds. I shall win the riht or die iu the ring." NOT ALL PLEASURE.

Visit of Piatt and Alger to Alaska They Want the Seal t"lheiles Contract. New YORK, July l.The World says: "Politics and pleasure is said to have inspired the Tlatt-Alger excursion to Alaska. Shrewd observers have fouud another reason that of hard, practical business. Upon reflection the latter explanation appears to be the most reasonable. There ia good authority for the statement that Messrs. Alger and Piatt have their eyes wide open for the contract covering the seal fisheries in Behring sea, which has been granted the Alaska commercial company. The contract between the government and the Alaska commercial company will expire in May, 15?0. This is the last year tbe Commercial company will have the right to take seals in the liehring sea unless their contract is renewed. The peals are taken in the spring and in the fall. It will take a new company several months to get into shape to continue the work of taking the seals, so an early decision on the part of the government in this matter is anticipated, l.'ndr the existing laws the letting of the contract is left eutireiy to the discretion of the secretary of the treasury. Mr. Wiiidoin will probably make known his decision before Jan. 1. Why, it may be asked, should Messrs. Tlatt and Alger take the trouble to go to Alaska when the man who haa the power to give them the contract resides in Washington? One answer given is that they wish to iuvestizate the extent of the seal industry before engaging in it. It is not probable that the government will re-let the contract on tho psme favorable terms as were eranted in 1S70, and Mr. Tlatt and Mr. Alger will be able to bid more intelligently after having looked over the field. It is not likely that the seals will be exterminated for a preat many years to come, bnt ordinary busines prudence would induce Piatt and Alger to look into tbe matter very thoroughly before embarking in it. "It is known that the Alaska commercial company is making strennous efforts to obtain a renewal of the contract. The plum is such a rich one that there are already a dozen or more applicmte in the field. Whether Secy. Windoni wili advertise for proposals is not known. "Millions have been realised ont of tbe Alaska seals and there are millions yet in sight. The question is, who will get the plum? The return of Alger and Piatt will be awaited with interest."

SIIE STOLE HER 0WX CHILD.

A SENSATIONAL KIDNAPING CASE. Mrs. Celiav Thatcher Kuahes Into a Crowasd Chicago School lioom and Forcibly Carries Off Her Twelve-Year-Old Iaiihter and Escapes. Chicago, June 27. The I Iays public school was the Feene of a sensational ca$e of kidnap iug yesterday afternoon. Ilattie, the twelve year-old daughter of John and Celia Thatcher, was stolen ly her own mother. The Thatchers were married in Chicago thirteen years ago. Three years after the marriage Mr. Thatcher pained a suit for divorce, and the court awarded him the custody o the child, Hattie, then tw years of ne. Mr. Thatcher gave the little ijirl into her prandmother's care. At the close ol the public school term, one year ago Mrs. Thatcher, who had made many efforts to obtain possession of the child, endeavored to abdaot her from the school yard. The attempt was unsuccessful, as the chili was afraid of Ler mother and refused to go with her. Yesterday afternoon, shortly before school closed, a carriage was driven up to the Hayes school and a woman alighted. .vhe entered the school building and went directly to room No. 8. The teacher responded to Ler knock, and the woman said she was Mrs. Thatcher and asked to see her daughter Hattie, bnt tha girl refused to go to the door. Mrs. Thatcher then apparently went away. About five minutes later the door opened and Mrs. Thatcher dashed into the room, he seized the littl girl around the waist and started for the door. Miss Hannon interrupted her at the door, an4 made a determined resistance. Mrs. Thatcher was much larger and more powerful than the tea-her, and succeeded in getting the door partially open. Then Miss Hannon called for the pupils trt assist ber and they came in a body. Jnst at this moment a young man wcariojr a heavy mustache entered the room, and, throwing Misa Hannon and the children to one side, took th struggling child from its mother's arms and rushed down the stairway, followed by th mother. The man choked the child so sh could not scream. The cabman stood with th door of the vehicle open and they entered hurriedly. Then Mrs. Thatcher applied a hand kerchief to the little girl's face aDd she lay perfectly quiet and the cabman turned about ani drove rapidly away. The police were notified and are at work ou the case. The child' father and grandmother are much distressed. APPOINTMENTS. Dan Ransdell to be V. S. Marshal For the) District of Colombia.
