MRS. FORD’S STORY. CROSSING THE CONTINENT AND LOSING HER CHILDREN. tJnshelisn in Her Statements The San Francisco Police Expected to Shed Light on the Mystery. From the Sew York Herald. The ease of Mrs. Mary E. Ford, who ar rived m Jersey City on Wednesday, Aug. SI, and whose three children, baggage and money she declares are missing, is one of the strangest with which the police of that city have over had to deal. Mi's. Ford’s story is curiously lacking in confirmatory proof of its main points, yet no evidence has been discovered which con clusively contradicts her. She says she is a widow. Her husband died four years ago. They lived at an ob scure mining camp in Locust Valley, close to the borders of >evada,in San Bernardino county,California. On the opposite side of the line lies Lincoln county,Nevada. Thepavore that is taken out of the earth at Locust Val iev is copper, and it is shipped for the mar ket at Five Mile Post, a place eighty-five miles distant. Drumm's station is" live miles nearer, but it is the exclu sive property of a wealthy landlord, and he only allows it to be used for his own pur poses. Mrs. Ford was the female Boniface for the mining settlement, having succeeded her husband in that business. Besides a comfortable house, as houses go out there, she possesses thirty-five cabins, in which the miners lodge, and sometimes has had as many as 150 living at her table. The super intendent of the mines, William'T. Bates, a married man, seems to have been her agent and adviser. TO EDUCATE HER CHILDREN. Having waxed well to do in this world’s goods, Mrs. Ford determined to return for a time at least to civilization. She had three bright children—Johnny, the eldest, 13 years old; Frank, 9 years, and Maiy 6 years—and her most important object in coming to the East was to give them a proper education. She was a Miss Kenny before she became Mrs. Ford. She has rela tives in New York of the former name, and it was when she went in search of these persons, according to her own statement, that her great calamity befell her. The departure of Mrs. Ford and her little brood was a great event for Locust Valley, which is very far from any post office or telegraph station, and is, in fact, one of the most isolated places in the Unite! States. That it was unknown to almost all railroad men and telegraphers in the East, is one of the striking reasons that have tended to throw gr at doubt upon Mrs. Ford's asser tions. Mr. William T. Bates and his wife, she says, assisted her to make the necessary arrangements for her important journey. The nearest main railroad line to Locust Valley is the Atlantic and Facific. She might have obtained her tickets at The Needles, on the Colorado river, but she preferred, or else Bates, for reasons of his own, induced her to go to San Francisco, whither he and his wife ac companied her, thence to take passage by the Central Pacific. In one of her trunks was packed a large amount of money. It was in gold coin. It is an obvious question to ask why Bates did not convert this into drafts for her so as to avoid all danger of robbery. THE CHILDREN DISAPPEAR. The overland journey was without grave incident save the acquaintance which she formed with a lady and her fam ily who were going to Antwerp on the steamer Belgenland, and the interest which a colored Pullman car porter, named Henry Poindexter, showed in her , With the lady she talked of going to Europe on the same ship and voy age She arrived in Jersey City at 10:39 o’clock on the morning of Aug. 31. The porter officiously offered to show her a res taurant and to help her to find her frionds. He took her by the arm and her little girl by the hand and led tho pai-ty to a place kept by August Steup. The woman who was going to Europe was there, too, and beer was drank, although Mrs. Ford says that she took only ice and water. She states that she left her children at the restaurant in charge of Poindexter to go over to the house of her cousin, Peter Kenny, in East Thirteenth street this city. Johnny had the cheeks tor her baggage in his pocket. The porter promised to take care of the children until 4 o’clock in the afternoon. Mrs. Ford did not get back until 7 o'clock in the evening. Then the children,, the porter, and the wo man who was hound for Antwerp were all gone. She has not seen her little ones since. According to Mrs. Ford very conflicting statements were made by the attendants in the restaurant. One of them first said that the woman who was going to Antwerp had taken the children off on the steamer with her, but when questioned by the police he denies this. • ‘‘YOU ARE THE MAN.” The police of Jersey City were informed on Wednesday night of Mis. Ford's plight, and a thorough search for the children and the trunks was begun. Mrs. Ford’s weak ness of memory and the evidently confused condition of her mind have greatly compli cated the case, and the officials have repeat edly acknowledged themselves to be thor oughly puzzled. She charged Poindexter with having abducted her children and stolen her luggage. The police confronted her with him and seven other palace car porters who hail been on the same train and she at once picked him out. There was not the slightest hesitation in her manner. “You are the man,” said she, almost fiercely, pointing her finger at him. With her at the time were her friends Mrs. Mary Kenny, of Eart Thirteenth street; Bernard F. Kenny and Mrs. Ann Mulligan, of No. 2f51 First avenue, and Detective Close, of Jersey City. All bore witness afterward that Poindexter apparently ad mitted at first that she and her children were in his ear, but almost immediately afterward denied it, declaring that he had never before seen her. She identified tho sleeping car conductor in a similar manner, but he positively stated that he did not know her. A QUEER STATEMENT. And here came a most singular incident. A man named John Seitnering. of No. 771 North avenue, this city, came forward and said that he had seen Mrs. Ford and her three children on a train oil which he had come, but which arrived at Jersey City on Wednesday at 7:15 a. m. He asserted that Mi's. Ford stopped at Newark. She reached Jersey City, it must be remembered, at 11:30 on the same day. She absolutely denied that she stripped "at Newark. The police of that city have scoured every portion of it in search of the children, but, in vain. Yester day morning, in order to test tho statement made by Seiioeriug, the crew of porters of the train on which he was were stood up before Mrs. Ford with Poindexter in their midst. She again picked him out as posi tively as before. No person in tho world who diiLnot know Mrs. Ford would pick her out as a promising victim for robbery. Her dress is of the cheapest sort and her faco is not by any means attractive. It bears the deep trace* of care, and her restless eyes have a wild and wistful expression. She fidgets a great deal when she talks, mid appears to be of a very nervous temperament. Chief Mur phy, of Jersey City, has done all that he c*n to interest the San Francisco police in the ease, on the theory that the person who robbed her was with her very likely there. They have thus far been able to confirm, however, none of tbs information that she lias given relating fc > California, while they (o-ert that the names and addresses Hint she has given in connection with Han Francisco do not exist them. HTH'KUG TO A CLEAR HTORV. The second chapter of the examination of the charge against Poindexter in the Jersey City Police Court unrolled Itself yoslenlay. Mix Ford under went, a severe uross-ques t lotinig at tlie bands of t 'ounsellor .Norman L. Howe, representing Poindexter, and od btrrnd with str'et consistency to a very clear and wsli connected story. Thu court and lawyers wore considerably confused as to the location of Drumm’s Station, con founding it with Drummond, in Montana, over SOO miles to the northward. The witness renewed under oath her identi fication of Poindexter and of W illiarason, the sleeping oar eondutor. Mrs. Kenny, Bernard P. Kenny and Mrs. Mulligan gave corroborative evidence bearing upon the former identification. A waiter named Nayer, in Steup’s restaurant, remembered having served her, her three children and a middle-aged colored man on Wednesdav, last week. Further examination was adjourned until next Monday, when Judge Stilsing will decide whether to admit negative testimony on the part of the train hands in Poindexter's favor. A Coaching Trip. From Puck. Miss Pompon—Oh, Ido feel that I owe Mr. Tandem such an apology? Young Mr. F. (her companion)—Why, my dear Miss Pompon, you quite surprise me! Miss Pompon—Oh, but it is such a blow! Mrs. F.—-What, pray? I am positively alarmed. Miss Pompon—Why, I fancied Mr. Tan dem's coach had a dark-green body. Mr. F.—Oh, and the bright red does not please you so well ? Miss Pompon—Oh, it is not that—but don’t you see, I have arranged my costume in Charles X. pink! [Box seat brilliancy.]^ Miss Gushington (who goes in for fascinat ing ignorance)—Oh, how charming this is! Fancy owning such a coach and such lovely horses, too! Mrs. Tandem—Yes; one needs the horses, for a fact. Miss Gushington—Oh, yes; and they are shell beauties, too. I just love these bays next to us! Mr. T.—You mean the wheelers; they’re chestnuts, though— Miss G.—Oh, are they? I never can tell the difference; and, oh, are they off or nigh? Mr. T.—Why, one you know, is off, and the other nigh. Miss U.—Why, of course! I am wretched ly stupid. Mr. T.— Oh, don’t mention it! Miss G.—Oh, but I am—and do tell me which is the off horse? Mr. T. (pointing)—This one. Miss G.—ls it, really? How very inter esting ! Mr. T.—Oh, not at all! Miss G.—But it is, you know—and that of course, is the nigh one. Mr. T. —Naturally. Miss G.—Ob, yes—and why, please? Mr. T. (feebly brilliant) —Oh, possibly, be cause he’s further from the whip. Miss G.—How very odd! Mr. T.—Yes; it is odd. Miss G.—Oh, extremely odd! Mr. T.—Yes. Miss G.—And you are the whip? Mr. T. —Oh, come now, really, Miss Gushington! Miss G.—Oh, I know you are. I have al ways heard you were such a whip. [On the Roof.] Miss Tilbury (one of the other sort) —I’ve been watching the off leader, Mr. Cropper, and I’m quite sure he interferes with his left hindhoof. Mr. C. (admiringly)—Now, do you know I should never have discovered that? Mias T.—Shouldn’t you, really? I no ticed it at once. He’s a fine beast other wise. Mr. C. —Yes, he goes well with his fel low. Miss T.—Oh, they’re matched to a hair! Mr. C.—Yes, of course. Miss T. —Do you bag, Mr. Cropper? Mr. C. (who is not of the hunting set) — Well, no, hardly—that is, not much, you know. Miss T.—You ought—it’s such sport. Mr. C. —Oh, yes, quite. Miss T.—Oh. thorougn. I side with the Criss Cross Club. Mr. C. —Do you, really? Miss T.—Yes; I’m trying anew mare now for the next meet. Mr. C. —It is so! Miss T.—Yes; I do her across country every day when I am at home. Mr. C. —How do you find her? Miss T, —Oh, fairish —a poor jumper, though. Mr. C. —Ah, that’s rather bad. Miss T.—Oh, very bad. How many bars do you take? Mr. C.—Well—er—really, you know, I go out so seldom, still—three. Miss T. —Three! Why, I take five and a barbed wire! Mr. C. (gasping)—You don’t say so! [Real Pleasure of Coaching.] Mrs. Married-Belle—How charming the day has turned out! Mr. Blase—Ya’as. Mis. M. —I quite trembled for my toilet this morning. Mr. B.—Ya-as, it was rather threatening. Mrs. M.—And one has to coach, you know, rain or shine. Mr. B.—Oh, ya-as, indeed. That’s the sport. Mrs. B.—Oh, do you think so? Mr. B.—Oh, ya’as; indeed. That’s all I coach for. Mrs. M.—What, the rain? Mr. B.—No; because you have to go in any weather. Mrs. M.—How odd to like that! Mr. B.—Oh, ya-as; it’s like a dinner, you know. Mi's. M.—l don’t altogether follow. Mr. B.— Oh, if you accept, you must go. Mrs. M.— Ah! Mr. B.—And you must be on time. Mrs. M.—Now I see. Mr. B.—Ya-as; gives a zest, you know. Mrs. M. —Then, I suppose you only coach and drive? Mr. B.—That’s about all. Mrs. M.—You might try running for a railway train. Mr. B.—Oh, too fatiguing, and quite too common! Curious Little Folks of the Congo. t\om the .San Francisco Examiner. Ronzo de Leo, who traveled many years in Africa with Dr. Livingstone, was one who almost stood out alone in the assertion that a race of dwarfs lived in Central Africa. In his lectures in America he told of a little people who fled to the clefts of the rocks when the explorers approached. C. Eugene Wolff, who traveled many years with Stanley, and who is now in this city, gives some queer accounts of these dwarfs. "On the southern branches of the Congo,” said lie to an Examiner reiwrter. "I have seen whole Ivillages of these Liliputians. They are a generous little people, who live in rude huts and dear ground, engaging in various sorts of agriculture. They are also skillful hunters, and they make palm wine. They are as lithe and supple in climbing trees as monkeys or baboons, although they are physically os perfect men as any of the giant trities thereabouts, and they know as much. The men are not over four feet and a half high, while the women are a good deal smaller. These tiny little men are both brave and cunning. They are experts with the Ikhv and arrow, and readily bring down the African bison, antelope, and even ele phants with them. As trappers of small animals they are unsurpassed. In a dose pinch they use the lance with astonishing ilexteritv, and an ordinary sling in their hands is" wielded with wonderful skill. The dwarfs collect tho sap of the pulm, with which they make soap. The men are smooth faced ami of a rich mahogany color, while the hair is short, kinky, and as black as night. Tens of thousands of them live on the south onus of the Congo. They are an affable, kind-hearted people, of simple ways, and devoid of vicious tendencies to a greater degree than most semi-barbaric races. The women are industrious and amiable. Vary queer these |>eople look alongside the great swarthy blacks further upon the Congo. The latter are of pro digious size, uncouth, rude, to the remotest degree, ami canidbslisticaUr hu'lined. The dwarfs stand ill awn of them, but are so brave and cunning that, with all the odds at physique against them, tiui plgimus are master* of the situation.” THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1887. MUSIC-BOXES. The ClAnese Very Fond of them—How They Are Made. From the Jewelry Sews. “There is a great demand for musical boxes from China,” said a dealer. “The Chinese are passionafiely fond of them, and at a festival a Chinaman who can afford it carries a musical box in each pocket.” “What music do they like best?” “All Chinese music; they will have no other. The sweetest strains from ‘Trovatore,’ ‘Mignon’ and ‘Faust’ are as sweet bells jangled and out of tune to a Chinaman. We have to employ men who can reduce the Chinese music to written notes, and from this as ‘copy’ the music-box is made. We have to make up a different set for every country. If we should send boxes to France that played ‘Nellie Gray,’ ‘Way Down on the Suwanee River,’ ‘When You and I were Young, Maggie,’ or ‘Sweet Ry and-by,’ we should get them hack quick enough.” “National airs are the first tunes chosen, then the popular tunes, and then selections from famous operas. Scotch tunes, except “Auld Lang Syne’ and ‘Bonnie Doon,’ are difficult to render effectively by a music box, and they are rarely used. The great expense in the manufacture of music-boxes arises jfrom the necessity' of changing the tunes, discarding those that are tiresome and substituting the latest and most popular. But sit down while we talk.” The writer too k a seat, and the strains of “Farandole,” from “Olivette,” floated from beneath the chair. “Have a cigar?” He turned a cigar stand, and there came out of it the air of the drinking song in “Girofle- Girofla.” “This is the picture of our Swiss factory.” As the album was opened there came out of it an air from “Fra Diavolo.” “Will you take a pinch of snuff?” As the lid was raised there was a whisper of "Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot!” “We have a customer who has a music box attachment to his front door, and his visitors are always greeted by a tune. A music-box can be concealed in a very small compass, and one of the reigning demands is for articles that contain them, so as to create pleasant surprises. Dolls, clocks and books are provided with them. Nearly' all of the music-boxes are made in Sautei Croix, or Geneva, in Switzerland. “The principle of manufacture is simple. The different parts comprise a brass roller studded with fine points of the hardest steel, a steel comb, the teeth of which give the sounds, a spring to give tho revolving motion to the cylinder, and a fty-wheel or fan to regulate the revolving motion. The music has at first to lie arranged by a thorough artist. • The cylinder which comes from a machine shop is then placed in the hands of a woman who, with the aid of tne music and a very ingenious machine, marks the places on the cylinder where the points are to be inserted. Another person drills all the little holes, and another inserts the points. The cylinder is then filled with molten cement, and then placed on a lathe and revolved quickly. The cement adheres to the inside surface and thus holds tho points. A hole is left in the center of the cylinder for the axis. The points are then filed down so as to be of equal length. The comb is tuned by a tuner, who first files the teeth, without excessive care, to give them the proper flexibility, and then files them near the base to lower the tones. The operation of fastening the cylinder and comb to the bed plate requires much accuracy, so that the points of the cylinder and comb wil exactly meet. A woman following the music then bends the points on the cylinder slightly forward in order to secure more strength, but more es]iecialy to make the cords drop simultaneously and cause the runs or roulades to be played evenly. “Size in music-boxes increases both their volume and their richness in tone. A cylinder 10 inches long can be made to pfoy, six, eight, ten or twelve airs well, but it will play six or eight airs better and with more sweetness and harmony of sound than it can lie made to play a greater number. The reason of this is that more points on tho cylinder and more teeth in the comb can be used for each air if there are fewer airs. The space between the teeth decreases with the number of airs. If the cylinder is in creased in diametor the airs may be pro longed.” “How long does a music-box last?” “It is like a watch. It will last a lifetime if it is good to begin with, and is treated well and with care. Most owners of music boxes object to using them except for company. The fact is, a music-box should be used every day, just as a watch should be wound up every day.” NAPOLEON’S KNIFE. An Imperial and Beautiful Relic Owned by John G. Witte. From the Philadelphia, Press. “I have many curiosities,” said John G. Witte, of New York, at the Girard House, “but this knife I value more than all of them.” “Why?” asked a bystander. “For two reasons; one because it is the finest pocketknife I have ever seen, and the other because it belonged to Napoleon I.” “Give us the history of it?” “I have the history all written down and attested, The knife was presented to the First Napoleon in the city of Paris. He carried it in his traveling satchel, and in the flight from Russia in 1813 it was lost. In the year 1814 it was sold at Rotterdam to a planter of the Island of Java. It remained in his family when it was presented to me as a testimonial of appreciation of some favors that I had done. ” The knife is a superb specimen of the cut ler’s arr. It weighs nearly a pouud and the casket in which it reposes is quite as big as those used for meerschaum pipes. It con tains besides four blades sixteen implements, among them a small saw, a buttonhook, a gimlet, a corkscrew, an awl, two lances, one for puncturing and the other for cutting, and a pair of scissors. Tho rim and holster of the knife are of solid gold. The! handles are pearl, adorned -with the imperial arms in gold, surmounted by the Napoleonic N. Among Dr. Witte’s other pet curiosities is a tiny flying squirrel that travels with him constantly, finding a snug home in his inside pocket, How Mr. John Daly, of California, Bagged Two Bears. From the Chico Chronicle. John Daly, with his father, has been on a trip to Alturns. They camped at Mike Bruce’s place, just the other side of the sum mit, Monday, and John took his Winches ter and went out for a hunt. He had gone but a short distance when he came upon two half-grown bear cubs. Looking urouud, he espied their dam ill a ravine about 900 yards away. She caught sight of him, gave a sniff, and started off with her nose in the air. In the meantime one of the cubs was making good his retreat, while the other hail taken to a tree. John shot one of them, wounding it; anil fearing tho little brute might squeal and cull its mother back, gave another shot, which killed it. He then, after finding a good tree to climb in case of an emergency, went after tho other cut), which had also climbed a tree. lie shot this one also, sending a ball through it. causing it to emit a sbrillcry of pain and fear. John imme diately started for his tree, and none too soon, for the next moment the mother bear came charging through tho forest after him. He clambered into the tree in a hur ry, and when once there took a shot at the enraged Isiar. It struck her in the rump, but did not stop her. Hhe kept on until within a few feet of the tree in which John was perched, when she stopped to take a look at him. This was his opportunity, and, taking good nun, hs gave her another shot, striking her in tne snout and sent her rolling and howling down the ravine. As she did not return to the fray, John got down from the tree and went to look for her, but she bail disappeared. He then took off tiie hkles of tho two cubs, and, should ering his rifle and a good |*>rtion of the bear meat, returned to conui. MUTILATED MONEY. Bank Notes Can Be Redeemed at Washington Even if Reduced to Ashes. From an Interview with a Banker. Unless the money's identity is entirely gone it is redeemable. In fact, money in the shape of ashes can be restored, and after the great Chicago fire ashes were redeemed. It came about in this way: It is customary in Wanks to do money up in packages, say of 810,000 each, and in the big fire, of course, hundreds and hundreds of these packages were reduced to ashes. But the shape of the packages remained, and wherever the package could be sent to Washington with out crumbling the ashes, the money was sure to bo replaced. It was done by nimble fingered women in the Treasury Dej art mont, whose trained touch and sight are wonderfully acute. It is well-known that the ashes of a newspaper if dampened will show traces of the printing. So it was with bills. These womeu would moisten the packages of apparently useless ashes, and to their experienced eye the number and character of the bill would at once appear. So thousands and thousands of dollars were redeemed by these patient women. A country merchant, afraid of banks, placed a large sum of money in bills in a stone jar on a shelf in his store, where he thought it would be quite safe. When he wont to look at it one day some time after it was a mass of fragments. Mice had got into the jar and chewed the bills into the minutest parts. They had mixed them all up, and altogether it was a fearful looking mess. He sent a cigar box full of it to me. I forwarded it to Washington, and what do you think? Out of the 81.145 originally in the pile a little over SI,OOO was redeemed, the parts beyond recall being only the mere fibres of the bills. So the man lost only SIOO by his foolishness. THE PLEASURES OF HANGING. Death on the Gallows Believed to Be • Painless and Enjoyable. From the London Lancet. If those are to l>e believed who. having been more or less hanged, have been resusci tated and have narrated their experiences, tlic much-commiserated victim of the law’s extreme penalty is not wholly miserable. It would seem that even death “sus. per coll,” bos its ameliorating conditions of circum stances. One sufferer in the religious cause in France is said to have “complained” be cause he was called hack to consciousness from an experience of surpassing delights, in which he enjoyed the pleasure of gazing upon the most beautiful scenery. The im mediate sensation of pain Is momentary; and it would appear not unlikely that, in our anxiety for the avoidance of needless annoyance to those we put to death judici ally,"we may be actually increasing their sufferings and diminishing their pleasure. The instantaneous deaths have all the pain and little or none of the pleasure. Slowly induced congestion of the brain may be the least painful, and if only the blood pressure be effectually raised at the centre that sees, the beautiful light and charming scenery are enjoyed in the highest perfection. The subject is a grim one. and we are not sure that the new view of hanging experience tends to make the death penalty increasingly deterrent; but it is right that both sides of a question, which the late Mr. Whalley once excited the merriment of the House of Com mons by describing as “a poor man’s ques tion,” should be carefully considered at all costs.
