TRUE TO JOHN.

How an Irish Maiden Fulfilled Her Promise of Devotion.

Unsuccessful Attempt of a Father t« Marry His Daughter to a Wealthy Man.

A Story That Begins in Ireland and Terminates in America-

KEW YORK, October.22.—When the steerage passengers of the steamer City of Rome were lauded at Castle Garden yesterday, two men took positions close to the registry clerk's desk, rnd eageily scanned the iace of each female emigrant as she psssud by alter having given her name and destination. Tht-y asked queer questions, took many notes, .and finally left. No one knew their mission. It appears, however, tbat the men, who were detectives, were searching for a young* Irish heiress named Fanny O'Rourke. The story cf Fanny's crime, as a detective was pleased to term it, is that about three years ago i-*

SHE FELL IN LOYE'

with a young Irishman named Fitzgerald, who lived in County Mayo, close by her father's estate. O'Rourke was rich, while John was a poor fatmer. When Fanny dtclared she loved John, the stern papa promptly notified the young lover that Fanny's expectations were such as to prevent her marrying a poor man, and advised John to forget his sweetheart and choose for himself a wife among the poor country lasses. An unele of Fanny died about this time and lelt her £5,000, which was to be placed in ber hands when she became of age. Fanny was then Bearing her 19th birthday, add upon hearing of her good fortune advised ber lover to come to America and build a home,

FR0MIS1NG TO COMB TO HIM

as soon as she secured the £5,001) on ber 21st birthday. John followed her advice and about two years ago settled in Patterson, N. J., where he is at present earning good wages in a silk factory. Upon his arrival here John sent Fanny a letter, announcing his safe arrival, aDd in return received a sweet note, stating that her father was endeavoring to marry her to a rich equ ire's son, bat she declared that she would never many any one but Jol Fitzgerald. Since that time the two have corresponded regularly, and about one month ago John received a short note 6TATING THAT HIS SWEETHEART* would sail for America on the steamer City ol Rome. Fanny's lather, however, learned of his daughter's intention one day too late to intercept her, and he in consequence immediately cabled to some friends in this city to look out for her and send ber back to Ireland. He thought that his daughter would come in steerage under aa assumed same but no person resembling the description was found. The detective concluded that Fanny had taken cabin passage, but they were too late to catch the runaway. Last night a dispatch was sent to Mr. O'Rourke, in Ireland, stating that

HIS DAUGHTER HAD ARRIVED

and was .met by Fitzgerald, who took her away in a carriage. The detectives gathered this intelligence from several cabmen, who informed them that upon the arrival of the City cf Rome yesterday morning a young*lady answering the discription ot Fanny O'Rourke had rushed down the Rancway and had been caught in the arms of a fair-haired Irishman whom the young lady had called the gentleman, he said, while holding the door open. f" "tTEP IN FAWSsY, MY LoYB,' and had given the cabmah orders to drive them to the Chambers street ferry, and to do so in a hurry, as he wished to catch the 10:15 train. It is said the young ]ad)'s father is immensely wealthy and a large landowner in Ireland. Fanny is the only child, and was to have been possessor of his fortune.

BEECHBBS ADVAWCID VIEWS.

Enunciating His Doctrines of a Future Life in Plain Terms. 1 NEW YORK, Oct. 23—Henry Ward Beecher arrived home from the south yesterday and preached in Plymouth church this morning. In closing be made the following remarkable reference to his belief in the hereafter: I don't believe that we carry into the other life this material body, although we do carry our personal identity, our reason, our moral sense, our imagination, oar affections, our aspirations, onr high, coronal, perfect man. I don't think t^at we carry the generative process, or the appetites or passions. Those are baser organs belonging to this life, and when this world is over what is the use of carrying that which ia useless? Men carry umbrellas when it rains, but tbey are of DO use when the rain is over. It is very well for a man to have a bodily appetite as long as he ia to act in his body, but when be goes into another sphere he will not need them. It is asked of me if a man will not repent in this life can he he expected to grow better in the life to come? I answer,'Yes.' A man might find it impossible to lead a better life in New York, but .carry him to Oregon away from the bad influence surrounding him here, and allow other arid better influences to act upon hi# nature, and he would live a better life. He might never repent iu New York he wiil repent and do better there." «. .!—, ...

ONE WEEK'S WORK.

A Firm of Swindlers at New Haven Rope in Several Thousand Dollars Profit and Disappear.

NEW HAVEN* Conn.. Oct. 24.—Three weeks ago C« N. Leigh and A. B. Car. roll, said to compose the Arm of Leigh & Co. opening an office in State street and professed to be jobbers iu grocers' sundries and notions. Within a week so many inquiries coming to them, the suspicions of Dunn's local mercantile agency were aroused and a watch as put on the firm's woik. Yesterday Alfred J. Bancroft, & broom manufacturer of New Britain, who claims to have been swindled out of a large amount of goods, came here and swore ont a warrant for Leigh and Carroll's arrest, but it was then found that their office was deserted, and that the men had left town during the past twenty-four hours. Other complaints of the firm having obtained goods under false pretenses came from C. H. Farren, a manufacturer of Troy, N. H., the Double Pointed Tack Company, Chambers btreet, New York, Hampshire Paper Company, of South Had ley Falls, and some smaller firm The plan of operation was to first get a price list from the victim, then write a sample order, on the filling of Which Leigh & Co., would write hack that they were well pleased and wanted a heavy consignment sent at once "and draw on as at thirty days." Upon receipt of the goods they would re-ship to Hartford and there all trace of them were lost. The name ot the firm closely resembled the name of ano her firm of this city whose credit ranks very high and it is thought this helped in imposing upon the firms. They are several thousand dollars ahead on their three weeks work.

"Bless "Sou, My Children," Says John Kelly-

speciai to the Commercial Gazette: j, gINDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 22.—"Come

into my office here I want to tell you something of interest," said a pnmineat gentleman, an attorney and politician, to me this afternoon, and drew me iuto his private office out of hearing of stranger?. "You must not use my came it you publish what I tell you, but you may use all I relate to you. I want to tell you about Hendricks' interview with Tilden list September. You remember he was in the East for some time just before he went to Iowa to speak in the campaign there?" t,-

V-

"Yes, but it wai "understood that he was in Connecticut oo» legal business— taking depositions in an important lawtonit. What has that to do with Tilden I asked. V| "Why, it has just this to do with Tilden, that the real object of Hendricks' visit East was to meet Tilden, which he did do at Graystone. The taking of depositions was a mere excuse Hendricks told me all that occurred at that meeting, and ithaa been on my mind to tell you about it for some time, but I have not had an opportunity before. Before Hendricks It ft for the East be received an intimation that Tilden wanted to see him, and that is why he went.

He says that one day while he was in Connecticut taking depositions, he received an invitation from Tilden to come to Grayatone. Thig ^e did, togeiher with Mis. Hendricks. 'He there met Tilden. There were a number of ladies, clerks and secretaries present, but no other politicians whgn he arrived. After luncheon Tilden and Hendricks got into a carriage and drove around io look at the park. Mr. Hendricks told me that he observed Mr. Tilden very closely, and noticed that although his left arm was paralyzed and his right hand tremulous, yet he could not sec tnst he was any feebler than he was in 1876. Tilden opened the carriage door sis times dating that drive about the park, and alighted with as much ease as did Mr. Hendricks. As they were returning to the house Mr. Tilden said:

think

that the great fraud ot 1376 ought to be vindicated, and that the Democracy of the country ought to re-elect that ticket.' 'You have but to say the word,' said Hendricks, 'and it will be done. As for myself I would not give a turn of my hand to be Vice President, but I have all the time expressed my willingness to do my part in vindicating the choice of the people of 1876.'' Of course, coming as it does second-hand, I cannot repeat the ex act words of their interview, but I can only tell the substance as Hendricks told me. "He said Tilden asked him if "he thought the Convention would nomina'e him iu spite of his refusal to be a candt« date,.and Hendricks told him he didn't think it would. 'But if I remain passive, and give neither yes or no, what are the chances of nomination*^ asked Tilden. 'I should tbiub they wert good but rather uncertain, but if you were to say to a few ot your friends positively tbat you will accept, then the ticket will go through with a whirl.' Mr. Tilden hesitated, and said he was reluctant to give up the quiet of his present life for five years more of politics, and would have to consider the'matter further. was apparent that he was favorably disposed. By that time the carriage had rcached the house, and thty returned to the ladies. On the afternoon train John Kelly came out from New York by appointment of Mr. Tilden. Mr. Hendricks took Mr. Keliy into a private room and told him his conversation with Mr. Tilden, and that they had all the matter amicably adjusted. The next day Kelly's paper came out with that editorial advocating harmony. Now, I have told you just what Hendricks told me about the meeting. He has told only one other tnnn besides mysell about it." **But it is generally thought that Hoadly i« Tildfp's candidate."

Oh! I Was going to tell you a,bout Hoadly. Tilden said at that time thut in case Hoadly was elected in Ohio there would probably be a little flurry about him as a Presidential candidate, but that it would amount to nothing. That is Mr. Tilden'a opinion of Hoadly."

WASHi*GiOttf, Oct. 24.—The star publishes an account'of an autopsy held in this city Thursday night on the body of a boy named Ijlmore Beach, aged about 10H years, fifeme time ago the boy was taken with a swelling of the stomach, which continued to increase. Recently he has Ueen goiutr. about as usual, although swollen much beyond hi« normal proportions. On Wednesday he was out on the street and Thursday 2 P.M. be died. Twenty-five or thirty puysicians examined him before his death ani none of them cpuld tell what caused tbe remarkable swelling of the abdomen. The autopsy was not made by tbe of«roDer, but- was a private one, and tnere were several physiciaus and surgeons present, among inem Dr. S. B. G. Cuatsr, one of the attending physicians. A Star reporter called on Dr. Custer to learn tbe result oi the aotopsy. "The immediate cause of death,'* said the doctor, "was obstruction in the bowels. The caae will attract the attention of medical men because the Obstruction was in the small intestines—not down in tbe usual place, but higher up. Another remark* able fact Is tbat his intestines were immediately enlarged. There were taken from them twenty, large seeds ot damsons, a copper .cent, a nickel, a tooth, two buttons and otfler indigestible articles. His livery WHS swelled to such a size that it took* the place of bia lungs and nearly everything else, and one of hi9 bidnevs was greatly diaplacad.

THE PRAYER CURE.

Mb Vi Special to the Indianapolis Journal: LAFAYETTE, Oct. 21.—The case of Agnes Barter, a young lady residing at 57 Spencer street, in this city,la most marvelous. Yesterday morning she was unable to move, and was blind now she walks and can see. Eight years ago ahe was seized with the dreaded disease cerebro-spinal meningitis, which left her lower limbs paralyzed. She had gone to Ugdensburg, Ind., to enter a convent, and was taken ill the second day after she had arrived. In a few weeks she was brought home,. and for eight years she has been a constant sufferer. The best physicians of the city have treated her and pronounced her incurable. Dr. S. T. Yount has been her physician for three years. She was in convulsions most of the time, and these would continue as long as two and three weeks. Dr. Yount states tbat she presented a most horrible sight. For weeks at a time she had no nourishment whatever. Reoently a voting lady friend, Miss Kinsman, returned from'Europe and brought her some water from tbe fountain of.our Lady of Lonrdes. This she has been applying and drinking. A nine days' season of prayer was inaugurated by herself and other members the church. This terminated yesterday morning, when she was removed in an unconscious condition to tne churcb. She at length was revived, took communion, and instantly she could see and walk unaided. She believes that prayer did it. Dr. Yount and others pronounce it a most marveloua case. Laat evening when the doctor and reportera oalled she walked acrosa the room to show tbat ahe was indeed cured. Her case aeetae miraoulous, and there are many more besides herself who. familiar with the case, attribute it to the power of prayer.

THE THEORY OF ADVERTI8IMI.

Chicago Inter-Ocean: One of the most marked peculiarities of modern bdsinese ia the place newspapers occupy in the meehanism of trade. They are, in very large measure, the connecting link between eeller and buyer, and that through their advertising oolumns. The importance of newspaper advertisements is rapidly increasing. Instead of being a haphazard sort of thing it has been raised to tbe rank of exact soienoe, and that very laigely through the medium of newspaper advertising agenoies. Of tbe numerous bouses in this line Of bnsinesa pre-eminence is due to N. W. Ayer, A Son, of Philadelphia. There is probably no other concern of the kind ia the world which does so large a business.

The orders reoeived by their advertising agency during the tbirty-nine days from Sept. 1, 1883, to Oct. 9,1883, amounted to $239,646,41. It requires the good will aecured by years of faithful, intelligent, and judicious work te reach auch

Igh figures. Tt

he secret of the success of N. W. Ayer A Son is the fact tbat tbey scrupulously avoid both the general soramble for business and the too common fault of suoh agencies of having specialties whieh their own selfish interests require that they should press upon advertisers .without regard to the actual interest of tbe advertisers themselves. Instead of such short-sighted and unfair metheda they carefully consider what mediuma are best adapted to the wants ot each customer in other words, what Investment will yield the largest return. To held a customer's trade.it is necessary t» show him by practical demonstration that he ets tbe worth of his money, 'an^ it is argely because of their success in this respect that N. W. Ayer & Son set only hold their trade, but so rapidly, increase '.t from year to year.
