A J' 1-: 1,i,-TALE_ BUTTON.
A MOTHER’S REVENGE FOR HER
DAUGHTER’S WRONG.
Murdered While Asleep—Two Strange
Scenes That a Stained Brass Button
Occasioned -Mysterious Crime Clear
ed Up-
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Casnnira Torres kept a small huckster
/shop in a narrow street in the city of Albu
querque, N. M. In the rear of the shop was
s kitchen, and a stairway led to the rooms
above. The woman lived alone and was
p : uted rich, though of a very miserly dis
imsition. She had resided there for five
years, and so reserved and unsocial had she
[„. ~, that no one had ever been beyond the
confines of the little shop. Great, conse
quently, was the surprise of Casimira’s
neighbors when they discovered that a
ruling couple had come to reside with her
who called her aunt. These people were
utout 25 years of age and appeared to lie of
the better class. Soon after their arrival
new furniture was procured for the house,
and the place speedily assumed a neat and
well-kept air.
One evening during the month of Feb
ruary, 1353, Senora Torres was seated in her
shop when a stranger entered. He asked
lor a button to match one ho presented, and
the woman turned aside and handed down
a drawer containing buttons.
“Where is the button?” asked Senora
Torres.
“It is here,” the man replied, and laid a
large metal button on the counter such as is
vorn by coachmen, and on it was a cnest.
All the metal except a small part of the
edge, was stained, and had lost its polish.
As the woman gazed at the button she
turned deathly pale and clutched at the
counter, gasping for breath.
“You are ill,"the man said; “let me get
you a drink of water.”
“Never mind,” the woman answered.
“I am subject to spasms, and this will
soon wear off. I can’t match that button.”
“I don’t expect you to match it except in
size,” the man said.
"X tell you I can’t match it,” the woman
answered, almost angrily.
THE MAN LOOKED SURPRISED
and passed out into the street. After he
liad gone a short distance he remembered
that he had left the button on the counter,
and returned for it. When he entered the
shop no one was there. There was a light
in the rear room,and he heard voices within.
He knocked once or twice on the counter,
but there was no response. Then he went
toward the glass door and looked into the
rear room.
Tho woman whom he had before seen and
a young woman and a man were standing
by a side-table, passing the button from
hand to hand and closely examining it, con
versing the while in whispers. All of them
bad a hurried, frightened look. The stranger
was puzzled, and after a few moments’ hesi
tation he knocked at the door. There was a
shuffling of feet and the closing of a door,
and the next moment the woman came from
the room into the shop.
“I left the button here,” the stranger said.
“Did youi” queried the woman, as she
pretended to look around for it. “Oh, here
it is,” she at longth said, and handed it to
him. He thanked her and left the place.
It was some weeks later that this man—
Eulogio Sanchez by name—one of a firm
of in m founders, went to the city of Taos
to superintend tho putting up of iron rails
and fences around the park of Senor Ortiz,
a wealthy resident of that city. Senor
Sanchez, on reaching his destination, was
not a little surprised to find that on the
livery of Senor Ortiz’s servants was a
button precisely similar to that which
opened this story.
Senor Sanchez spoke of the circumstance,
and said that one of his children picked up
the button in the garden, but how it came
there he could not tell. The boy tied a
string to the button and used it for his toy,
and a younger son cried to have it. The
father took the button and tried to get ope
the same size, and that’s how he came to
call on Senora Casimira Torress. Senor
Oritz expressed his surprise at the button
finding its way so far away, and the conver
sation grew until Senor Sanchez referred to
the fact that the button was stained.
“It’s fancy,” he said—“a mere fancy; but
I used to think the stain looked like blood.”
F< >r the second time Senor Sanchez wit
nessed a strange scene produced by the but
ton, the first time by the sight of it, and
the second time by a description of it.
Senor Ortiz, at the mention of the stain
and its resemblance to blood, turned as
pale as death, and uttered an exclamation
of agony.
“Great God!” he said, “a stain of
blood!”
“No, Senor,” replied Senor Sanchez, “it
was only my foolish fancy, and I regret
that I made such a senseless remark.”
“Alas! you don’t know what a dreadful
circumstance your remark has called to
mind,” Senor Ortiz said, and then he re
lated the following;
STARTLING NARRATIVK.
“On New Year’s eve, 1841, my youngest
*on, Francisco Ortiz, was murdered in his
lied Owing to my frequent absences in
the States on important business matters,
the boy had been suffered to run wild and
he got entangled with a girl of the town.
Her friends had driven him to promise to
ina rry her, and he was just about to do so
when 1 reached home. I easily induced him
to refrain, and very soon manage'l by kind
treatment to get him under control. The
friends of the girl did all in their power to
decoy him from home and my influence,
hut they failed. He had got over his in
fatuation for the girl and was glad to be
freed from the enthrallment.
“When the girl gave birth to a child I
caused all to lie done that was just, and af
ter the death of the child placed the girl in
a good situation. Her mother I took into
'ey employ as a head domestic, and she
em<>ii satisfied. For five years things con
tinued thus. Francisco would be of age on
mw Year’s Day, 1841, and I had resolved
to make him a handsome present. Ho hud
been induced to retire early on the eve of
“ 1R birthday, and his elder brother
I wero in the library tying
"l 1 315,000 in gold and notes, and
Planning how lie should deposit it in the
Jj°, v * room, where he would find it the first
when ho awoke on his birthday.
’. we were doing this the mother of the
K* r h already spoken of, was in the dining
room adjoining arranging the apartment.
j V “ spoke of our intention, and she no
U 'ubt overheard us. Three wus an entrance
rranclsco’s sleeping apartment by a
dressing room door, which opened on the
eari'idor. When we lmd ascertainded that
j'l anoisco was probably asleep wo enterod
iue drawing room and placed
THE HAG CONTAINING THE 315,000
the table, by the bedside, with an open
stating that it was a birthday gift
me and his elder brother. Then wo
'putted the apartment, and locked the door
uj the dressing-room bohirnl us. I passed
ut erst, and my son pressed on me, and
half laughingly: *
, "I believed in ghosts, I should say that
*Mw one in the shadow of the drossing
this moment.’
, t)h, nonsense,’ I said; ‘it must be
Ittiury, 1 ’ ’
i •'“’yertbeless, 1 opened the door anil looked
-'"thing was Visible. I had half a mind
, roiuu * tlio apartment* and satisfy
f. '‘■‘that no one was there. Would to
} 1 had done so! We quitted the spot
r -'liml. Once in the night I was
il'JrS""' 1 what seem the clanging of a
, w | (< j ’ u t after that all was quiet and I fell
morning all assembled at breakfast
Francisco. We waited, but ho did
si „{j >rne - 1 suggested that his brother
~ ,v! t r " and sep what delayed him.
mm,, “Stunting his treasure,’ said bis
stm r , lU t 1 confess 1 began to fed
Unit?. 1 ?’" y , ' orv °us. My eldest son had gone
pl,‘ r , S . ai , if * I walked out into the nail.
1 heard ji cry—a shriek—and tho
sound of rushing footsteps. My eldest boy
appeared at the head of the stairs with hor
ror in every feature.
“ ‘Oh, father!’ he gasped, ‘Francisco is
dead—’
murdered!
“I heard no more. It was too true. There
he lay on his bed with a treacherous stab
wound in the heart. The bag of money
was gone and so was the mother of the girl
whom the foolish boy bad wronged. The
Wood had spouted from the wound and
covered the table on which the money had
been lying. And now you may Wonder
what a button had to do with this terrible
crime.
“I will tell you. When we had put the
money in the bag, I proposed to seal it, and
I put on the wax. Mv ring, however,
made too small and light an impression,
and my son suggested one of our livery but
tons, on which was a large crest. He got
a button, and then in a playful humor said:
“ ‘Father, let us stick the button on the
wax, and leave it there.’
“He did so, and when you spoke of a but
ton similar to ours, bearing a stain of blood,
I could not but remember the dreadful
night and the fact that more than likely my
youngest child’s blood had stained the but
ton which wo placed on the wax.’’
“Was the murderer arrested?” inquired
Senor Sanchez.
“Never,” was tho reply. “No one had
any doubt that it was the mother of the
girl who infatuated my boy that perpetrated
the awful crime, ana stole tho money, but
all search for her was unavailing.”
When Senor Sanchez returned to Al
buquerque, he took into his confidence a
shrewd lawyer. Senor Sanchez had erected
anew building on tho site formerly occu
pied by a house owned by a woman named
Maestas. Senora Muestas was after soihe
difficulty found, and on visiting Senora
Torres’ shop, she identified her as a woman
who lived in her house for about a month.
Tho theory of the lawyer and Senor Sanchez
was that Senora Torres was tho murderer
of Francisco Ortiz, and that the couple with
her were her daughter and her daughter’s
husband.
All the facts were now communicated to
Senor Ortiz, who paid a visit to Albu
querque, but his birds had flown. Two de
tectives were employed, but after months of
searching gave the case up as fruitless.
One day Senor Sanchez Was called on busi
ness to Joyita, a city some miles from Albu
querque, but while passing through it a vio
lent storm came on and he drew up his car
riage under a shady tree. Immediately af
terward a phaeton was driven by, a man
and woman in front and a woman on the
back seat.. The latter Senor Sanchez easily
recognized as the missing Senora Casimira
Torres. He was not observed, and in spite
of the storm he
DETERMINED TO PURSUE THE PHAETON.
At the end of the village it turned up a
lane, and when Senator Sanchez reached
the place he saw tho phaeton before the
gate of a cottage about 100 yards beyond the
junction. Driving a little further, he
stopped at a roadside inn and ascertained
that the persons whom he had seen in the
phaeton lived in the cottage.
Next day Senora Torres and her compan
ions, Marie and Antonio Rociada, were ar
rested. Senora Torres was identified be
yond question as Inez Ramon, the murderer
of Francisco Ortiz, and the younger woman
as her daughter. The elder woman was
tried for the crime and convicted. Before
taken to prison for life she confessed all.
For years after her admission into the
family of Ortiz she had contemplated the
killing of Francisco as a retributive act for
the wrong to her daughter. The liberality
of Senor Ortiz to tho girl, and his procuring
for her a position greatly superior to any
she could otherwise have hop'd for, induced
the mother to forbear, in the hop: that
perhaps something might bring Francisco
and the girl together again, and marriage
might yet result. When, on the fatal night,
she overheard the conversation of the father
and the eldest son, and learned that a large
sum was to lie deposited in Francisco’s bed
room, as a birthday gift, she resolved to get
possession of the money at all risks, and
thus avenge her wrongs.
Stationing herself in a recess of the corri
dor she saw Senor Ortiz and his son enter
the dressing room of Francisco’s apartments.
They passed out of sight and left the door
ajar. This seemed the very opportunity
that she desired. She swiftly glided into the
room, and had barely time to reach the
shade when father and son returned from
the inner room. As she saw them she
crouched to one side, and then it was, doubt
less, that young Ortiz caught an indistinct
glimpse of her form, causing the remark
-that if he believed in ghosts he should feel
disposed to say that he had seen one. In
stantly, on the door being locked by
Senor Ortiz, she moved into the chamber.
A rushlight was burning on a low stool by
the fire, and she could see all that was in
the room. At the moment that Senor Ortiz
again unlocked the door and glanced into
tho dressing room the woman had plaeed
her hand on tho bag of money. The sound
of the lock almost paralyzed her. She re
placed tho money and glided behind the
curtain of the bed. Listening intently she
again heard the door closed and locked. As
she came forth from among the folds of the
heavy curtain her foot caught and the cur
tain was drawn violently. Tho rattling of
the rings aroused Francisco and he naif
arose on his elbow. Fearful of discovery
the woman drove
THE KNIFE INTO THE YOUNG MAN’S BREAST.
He half sprang out of bed, and the blood
spouted over the floor and the table and
smined the bag and the button.
Then the woman, feeling satisfied that
tiie youth was dead, took the hag of money
and passed out. doing to her room, she
put on two dresses and two shawls and
quitted the building. She hadn’t gone far
when she buried the gold, only taking
enough for her immediate wants.
Bhe traveled all night and at daybreak
reached a small town and walked through
it. On the other side she threw off a dres3
and shawl and crammed them and her bon
net into a hole she dug. Here she tied a
handkerchief round her head and retraced
her steps through the town. By this
means she effectually threw her pursuers off
the track. She journeyed from place to
place until finally she reached Albuquerque.
In the mean time, her daughter had mar
ried a designer in metals, and by a strange
coincidence he wus offered employment in a
shop in Albuquorque.and had to pass through
the very street where Cusimira Torres, alias
Inez Ramon, had her little shop. One even
ing he took his wife to see the place where
be hud missed his days, and in the little
butcher shop she discovered her mother.
The murder was known, of course, to the
daughter and her husband, but not, until
now did the latter know that the supposed
murderer was his wife’s mother. Ho was
a man who hud an eye to the main chance,
and the price of his silence and submission
was a share of the money which the woman
had stolen. . .
genora Ramon went to prison, where she
soon became a raving manioc, and as such
died Her daughter - was not proceeded
against, and she and her husband removed
to South America.
Breaking Down and Building Up.
When a man breaks down in the matter of
physical strength, the question of Its recovery
depends in a great measure upon the length of
time be allows to elapse before adopting medic
inal means to recuperate It. A tonic, which
needy and powerful impulse to the pro-

auxiliary be can employ, and be should resort

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1887.
ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP.
How a Man-of-War is Commanded
and Officered.
From the Boston Record.
When a reporter went over the starboard
gangway atyl stepped on the deck of Hear
Admiral Luce’s flagship, the Richmond, last
Friday, six bells were being struck. The
scene about the deck was an animated one,
sailors in working suits of white shirts and
trousers, with white covers drawn over their
blue caps, were busy in all directions, some
of them polishing up the brass work, which
glistened in the sun like gold; some of them
busy on jobs which no landsman could un
derstand the need of, many with needle and
thread qiaking uniform shirks of dark blue
flannel, and tr users of white duck cr
broadcloth, and others still walking up and
down the deck forward of the mainmast,
[last which none of the sailors are allowed
to go, unless they have some business there,
or lounging between the guns. JJpon the
bridge forward of the smoke-stack two
quartermasters were stationed, whose duty
it was to announce to the officer of the deck
the approach of boats and the appearance
of any signals aboard the other vessels of
the fleet.
EXPERT NEEDLEWORK.
A number of the older men were busily
engaged in embroidering with white and
red silk the emblems of rank which are
worn on the sleeves of petty officers. The
work was being done with much skiil and
neatness, and when ilnisbed will be a credit
to the best of needlewomen.
This needlework, which was going on all
over tho forward part of the snip, was
something of a surprise to tho lookers-on.
Approaching a grizzly old salt, whose ap
pearance would seem to indicate that his
hands were more familiar with reef points
and deep-sea lead than with needle and
thread, but who was busily engaged work
ing a blue foul anchor on a groundwork of
white, he was asked about it. l 't), yes,”
said he, “a great many men in the navy
make their own clothing, and they make it
well, too. Your regular man-of-war’s man
is very particular about the cut of his
clothes, and if he cuts and sews them him
self he is siu'e to get a good flt and knows
they are well made. We draw the doth
from the paymaster once a month, and all
the sewing is done with silk. The clothes
cost a little more than those bought ready
made, but they last longer.”
“Can all the sailors sew?” was then asked.
“Not all of them can make a pair of
trousers or work these anchors,” was the
answer, “but those who can’t, get those who
can to do it for them, and the best work
men are thus enabled to make quite a hand
some sum of money during the cruise.”
Lieut. Samuel Seabury, well known as
the designer of an improved style of boat,
was the officer of the deck when the reporter
walked aft, and a desire having hen ex
pressed to know something about the man
and the life on board ship while in port,
another officer was summoned who knew
all about it and had time to talk.
THE MEN AND THEIR LIFE 3N BOARD.
To this gentleman was put the query how
many people are there on board here?
“There tire 350 all told,” was the reply,
“and if you (hunt petty officers, 101 of them
have a title.”
“That gives an officer to about every
three men and a half,” said the reporter,
“what in the world can they all find to
do, and how do the three men and a half
stand it?”
“Easy enough,” was tho answer. “All
these officers do not command the ship.
Each ha; his particular duty to perform, for
which he onlv is responsible, and there is no
clashing. Everything moves like clock
work under the. strictest kind of discip
line.”
Now to begin with we have the rear ad
miral, his secretary, a flag lieutenant, a sig
nal officer and an aid, whose duties relate to
the whole squadron, and not to any particu
lar ship. Then there is the chaplain, ‘Holy
Joe’ the sailors call him, who is only carried
on board a flag ship, and whose duties afloat
are tho same as those of a minister on
shore. Of commissioned officers attached to
the ship, and whose sole duties aro here,
there are 29. This includes the captain,
executive officer, who is responsible to the
captain for all that goes on. the navigator
lieutenants who stand regular watches, the
engineer officers, surgeons, paymaster, mas
ters and ensigns, all of whom are in the line
of promotion. There are four warrant
officers, the boatswain, who looks after the
rigging, etc., and thn ugh whom are trans
mitted the orders from tho officer on the
deck to tho men: the gunner, who looks
after the great guns; thecal pen ter mid sail
maker. All these live aft in the cabin,
ward-room and steerage, and are the only
ones that may really lay claim to be consid
ered officers as the term is used iu the navy.
THE HOST OF PETTY OFFICERS.
But after them comes a host of petty
officers whose numbers swell the list up to
the total of 101 which 1 have given you.
They are divided into three classes as fol
lows: Chief Jietty office]* —The master at
arms. He goes by the name “Jimmy
Leggs” among the sailors, for what reason
I do not know, and is a most Important jior
sonage. The police duty is his; he is supreme
on the berth deck, has the care of auy
prisoner that may be confined in the brig
and sees to it that everything in
his domain is kept in perfect order,
and that there are no rows or
trouble among the men.. Then comes tho
equipment yeoman, under whose care is all
the extra material necessary to repair tho
rigging, etc.; the apothecary, tue pay
master’s yeoman, who assists the paymasters
clerk in serving out provisions and other sup
plies; the engineer yeoman, who performs a
like duty in the engineer’s department; tho
ship's writer, who is the executive officer’s
clerk; the. schoolmaster, tho liainlmnster (a
band is only carried on board flagships),
two machinists, the first sergeant of marines
and the chief quartermaster, who has charge
of the colors and is supposed to be one of
the best seamen on board.
The petty officers of the second class are
four boatswain’s mates, who assist tho
boatswain and whose shrill whistle you may
hear calling attention to the various orders
which they repeat after receiving them
from the officer of the deck; four quarter
masters, a gunner’s mate, a coxswain to the
commander-in-chief, who has charge of the
barge and steers it; two ship’s corporals,
assistants to the master at arms; the ship’s
cook, the chief musician, a boiler-maker, an
armorer, who has charge of the small arms;
two carpenter’s mates, a blacksmith, a sail
maker's mate, two water tenders in the en
gineer’s department, and two sergeants of
marines.
The petty officers of tho third class in
clude two captains of tho forecastle, two
captains each of the fore, main and mizzon
to)*, and two captains of the afterguard.
Those take the lead and are responsible for
all work done in their ]<arts of the ship; four
coxswains of boats; four quarter-gunners,
who assist hi the care of the great guns, two
seamen gunnel’s, who have served ut the
torpedo station, and captains of tho fore
hold and one captain of the mainbold, one
printin', one painter, two oilers and two cor
porals of marines,
The balance of tin* ship’s company is also
divided into classes, three in number. The
first of these includes able seamen, seamen
apprentices of the first class, one lump
lighter, ono jack of the dust who assists the
paymaster yeoman, one bugler, all first
class musicians, one tailor, one burlier, all
first-class firemen, carpenters, calkers and
orderlies. The second class includes ordinary
seamen, seamen apprentices of the second
class, Daymen or nurses fur the sick, second
class musicians and firemen and private
mariners. The third class includes all lands
men, apprentices of the first, second and
third classes, Isiys and coal heavers. While
outside of all thase aro the stewards, mess
men and attendants upon tho officers. That
I think is all you wish to know of the per
sonnel of the ship.
THE DAY’S ROUTINE.
Can you tell me something of a day’s
life on board here, its work, duties and
pleasure?
I will do so briefly. When in port all
hands are called at 4 :'K) o’clock in the morn
ing, hammocks aro brought on deck and
stowed in the nettings, coffee is served, and
the smoking lamp where the men light their
pipes is lighted. Half an hour later the
work of the day begins. Decks are scrubbtd
and washed down on Satin davs they are
holystoned), and clothes or hammocks are
washed. This takes up the time until. 7:80
o’clock, when the order for “colors” is given, j
The signal of what uniform shall Ik: worn
for the day throughout the fleet is dis
played, aiid also the command for yard or
sail evolutions. At 8 o’clock the flag is run
up to the [teak, the Kind plays “Hail, Col
umbia,” and all hands go to breakfast.
Forty minutes serves for this meal, and
tVn the men, in the uniform of the day,
clean the deck and gun bright work. At
9:30, everything having been made perfectly
bright and clean, the call to quarters is
given,and each man, from the captain down,
givs to his station, as if the ship were going
into battle. A 10-minute inspection by the
principal officers follows, ana then an hour's
drill is had with the guns, rifles, revolvers
or pistols, single sticks, and with the maga
zine guns. This over the men are employed
at old joins or allowed to idle about. At 12
o’clock dinner is served and the smoking
lamp is lighted again to lie put out at 1
o’clock, when all hands are turned to for the
afternoon. For be it understood that no
smoking is allowed when there is work to
bo done. After dinner there is
another drill, perhaps with boats, with
yards and spars, or in making and
turfing sail. This lasts until a little after 8
and then there is a term of idleness till 5
o’clock, when all hands go to supper. At
5:40 there is the beat to evening quarters,
which occupies ten minutes, and at (! o’clock
there is another smoke. When sundown
comes th* flag is hauled down with more
music by the band, and shortly after ham
mocks are piped down and the work of tho
day is over. Twice each week the band
plays for dancing between 7 and 8 o’clock in
the evening, and some of the men are very
good dancers indeed. No women are al
lowed on board at such times, but “Jack”
dances with “Jack,” and great sport ho
makes of it. At 8 o’clock all ojion lights
anil the galley fires are extinguished. At
8:50 the call is sounded. At 9 o’clock comes
the “roll off,” a gun is fired and all hands
turn in except the anchor watch. Promptly
at 9:10 “taps” are heard, and then every
thing must be quiet. So ends a day on
board the flagship while in port.

KROUSKOFF'S
Mammoth Millinery House.
We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which are now being shipped daily
by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoff, who is now
North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in
the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell
tine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc
cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing ont purchases or
perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris—but no
matter so long as the latlies have all the advantages in stock
and prices.
We are now ready for business, and our previous large
stock will be increased, and we are now offering full lines of
tine Milans in White and Colors, for Ladies, Misses and
Children in an endless variety of shapes.
RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu
lar full line entirely filled out.
We 1 mock bottom out in the price of Straw Goods.
We continue the sale of our Ribbons at same prices as
heretofore, although the prices have much advanced.
W e also continue to retail on our lirst floor at wholesale
prices.
