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- of?ligd<"n and assimilation, is the best auxiliary be can employ, and be should resort toft promptly.

Aulk>l & fck'iittui- miuui a • 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. PAIN KILLER.
