St.Louis Railway. CENTRAL SHORT ROUTE! To lie We aM Northwest!; Exciting Scene in Balfimo: PLCCK V8. LAW — 4 CONTXLT OVEB A CHILD. Some time since the Baltimore papers no ticed a carious case, in which a man named James E. Strong sought to recover his child from Mrs. Ellen Porter. It was alleged by those resisting bis claim that he had abandon ed the mother, who died of want in a few months afterwards, and that then the dangh- ter of the claimant, only about sixteen years old, took the child, her little brother, now be tween three and lour years old, in her care. She worked for low wages in a factory atWood- berry, and from her scanty earning sup ported herself and the child at the house of her aunt, Mrs. Ellen Porter. The girl (Emma C. Strong), evinced rare devotion for the child, and cared for it with noble, self- sacrificing devotion. The father claims he was not allowed to go to Mrs. Porter's to 6ee the child, and he therefore got out a wiit of habeas corpus to regain possesion of it. The aunt and daughter refused to give up the boy, a bright little fellow, who was averse to going to his father. Judge Pinkney postponed as long as he could the adjudication of the case, m hope that some compromise might be tffected. but this could not be done, and on last Saturday afternoon there was a hearing. The court was well filled, many ladies being present.

He slaims that now he can support the child, and he proposes to give it to the care of an uncle of the boy who has no children, and promises to do well by the little fellow. There seems to be no legal reason why the father should not reclaim his child, and yet the heart of ev ery one present considered it a cruel hardship. Judge Pinkney, in giving his decision, made most eloquent remarks, in which he j paid the highest compliments to the noble-. hearted girl who Lad been so true and so self- sacrificing. He admitted the hardships of the case, bat with eyes tilled with tears, he bowed to the law, and decided that the father must have tbe child. The girl sat apparent^ stunned beside her brother, the aunt and other female friends a few feet distant, when tbe father and some of his relations advanced in the crowd to take the boy. The little fellow screamed wildly not to let them take him. This roused the girl, and she rose like a lion ess, defending her vonog, and, with eyes flashing and arms raised, she ordered them to stand off, declaring that she whuld die before the boy should be taken from her. She cried that the ghost of her poor starved mother would haunt her if she gave him up, and threatened even to kill her father rather than let him have the boy. Never before was there such a scene of excitement in a court room. The crowd sympathized with the girl, the Judge rapped for order, but no one beard it. The baliffs tried to do their duty, bat, for some time, there was pushing, and struggling and threatening over the little boy, who never | for a moment intermitted screaming at top of i his voice. At last the daughter was seized j operation und and held. The screaming child was taken ! tor * 1J 431 kiEd * of by the father, and given to his cousin, a stout fellow, twenty-eight or thirty years of age, named J. Wesley String, w ho carried him out of the court room. In the hall the child's hat fell off, and this caused a delay, so that, although the girl was held for three minutes after the child had been carried off by the father, she hurried out after the child and succeeded in overtaking him. The little fellow struggled violently, and gave a good deal of trouble to the man who carried him, but they had got as far as directly opposite the office of Squire Myers, on St. Paul street, when the girl and her friends gathered around them, and a curious street scene occurred. The father was struck and thrust aside, and the man who carried the boy was knocked down and bis coat torn almost from him. An effort was made to keep possession o! tbe boy lor the lather by putting him in the window of Mr. Davis' law office; but a young fellow, who is said to have been a cousin to the girl, jerked the boy out of the window and started on a run w ith him. Turning the corner he ran as fast as he could down Fay ette street, when policeman No. 103 gave chase, as also did a great crowd of screaming women, curious spectators, court bailiffs, black and white. The young fellow who had the boy made fast time, but the policeman, without knowing exactly what it was all about, made desperate efforts to catch him, and was within twenty feet of doing so when TO LOUISVILLE, KY., AND 1 HE EAST. 10:00 P.
