very worst place almost In the whole river.

would land on it. To do so, they had to cross

the details of which were given in Friday s
Herald, came off according to agreement,
commencing promptly at 6 o'clock a. m.
Numbers of persons went out to the race
track during the day to see how the unusual
contest was progressing, and it was evident
from the first that Mr. Fleisher's horse would
not be able to cover double the distance made
by Mr. Altman s animal unless the latter
should completely collapse But no such
thing happened, and shortly before 4 o'clock
Mr. Fleisher gave up the race, his horse
having covered 51 miles and Mr Altman's 36
miles Mr. Altman allowed his animal to
rest several times during the race, feeling
that he had a sufficient lead to Insure his vic
tory Neither horse exhibited signs of any
unusual fatigue at the end of the race, but
Messrs. Peritz and Altman, not being accus
tomed to such long terms on the seat of a road
cart, are a little stiff and sore.

having failed, and the deed becoming void for
various reasons as set forth. The relief
sought is the cancellation of the deed, ar.d the

assist Mr. Sewell, the new proprietor, In the
business of manufacturing.

Mitchell stated after the encampment last
year at Ocala, that he would never again or
der an encampment to be held near a city, on
account of the mnny temptations and the
seeming disposition of men to have a big
time, instead of going there for instruction.
Already the military boys are showing inter

while she was returning from a neigh
bors house carrying her baby, ac
companied by her mother-inlaw they
met Elbert in tho public road. He de
manded the baby, and upon being re
fused. he started to take it by force, when its
grandmother interfered, Elbert stepped
bnik. and. picking up his gun, shot the old
woman in the abdomen and snapped the
other barrel at her, but it failed to tire. He
ran his hand into his pocket got another cap
and placed it on the tube of his gun fired a
second time, tearing away a part of her throat
und jaw. Throwing away his gun he drew
his pistol, started after his wife and shot her
down, wounding her in the lace and
shoulder. He followed her and tried to
make her return to the spot where her mother
was lying, but she protested, fearing that he
would kill her If she went. He returned, and,
finding the woman still alive, broke the gun
over her head. Reed had no counsel to de
fend him when he was ucralgnod ana the
Judge requested F„ J. Dickerson and S. E.
Smith to represent him. which thev did.

‘ THE CHIME OF INNOCENCE.”
How an Accused but Innocent Per
son May Suffer in the Hands of the
Daw.
Frances Isabel Currie In the City Vigilant.
One of the impressions first received
concerning the government of this com
monwealth is one of admiration for tho
breadth and fullness of its charity. A
man or woman who will visit the city
prison of New York, and learn exactly
what treatment is there received by un
tried prisoners will lose some of this eariy
admiration, and will learn how the inten
tion of a Just law may be perverted. One
woman's story, which is a common one,
will illustrate the need of reform :
She was a governess in this city, was
barely 22 years old, and had been living
in the house of a gentleman who engaged
her to teach his daughters. One day one
of her pupils complained of having lost a
valuable ring, and w hen search was made
for it it was discovered in a drawer of
the governess' dressing case. She was
accused of having stolen it. She protested
that she had never seen the ring any
where, excepting upon the owner’s hand,
but as she could not explain its presence
in her drawer she was arrested, charged
with theft and imprisoned In the Tombs,
where she waited for her trial. This
young woman was poor, friendless and a
stranger in our city. She knew nothing
of our laws and punishments, gbut some
where she had heard the fable that the
law presumes all persons to be innocent
until they have been proved guilty. She
endeavored to be brave and logical, even
in that dark hour, for her faith in
the existence of human justice had
not yet been shaken. It soon began to
waver. She know the necessity of pun
ishinout for crime; but she doubted the
justice of imprisoning persons who were
only accused and not convicted of wrong
in this stopping place for convicts. She
wns afraid in prison, becausp she was
surrounded by people familiar with every
offense known in the category of crime.
All the women of each corridor were
forced to leave their cells every morning,
and compelled to remain all day m a
common sitting room. While she was in
the Tombs she had not one mouthful
of solid food excepting bread, for she had
no money with which to purchase meals
outside the prison. She had bread and
coffee for her breakfast, bread and soup
for her dinner and bread ami tea for her
supper. A convict in the state prison has
his daily portion of meat, and has better
air and better sleep than have the inno
cent men and women in the Tombs.
Our governess had little mental or
physical rest. Sometimes one or two
other prisoners were placed in the cell
with her at night. As each cot could hold
but one person, many prisoners were com
pelled to sleep upon tho stone floor of tho
building. The drunken cries and pro
fanity in this tomb of justice made night
hideous. Among the coarsest cruelties
perpetrated in the name of human charity
are the visits of strangers to prisoners
who aro waiting tobe tried. Our prisoner
was eager for the stigma of suspicion
to be removed from her, yet every day it
was perpetuated and advertised by
strangers who came and looked at
her, and from whom she had no
escape. F'eople whd saw the governess'
face in the Tombs remembered her as a
criminal, and not as one whom the law
“uresumed” to be innocent. Among those
who had visited her, and who doubtless
desired to help her was the superintend
ent of a Sunday school. He came with a
camera to take a picture of the Tombs
sitting-room and all its unhappy occu
pants. He wished to show this picture as
one of a set when he delivered a lecture
in his church on “Crime and Its Penal
ties.” She covered her face, and cried
out that she would not submit to such a
humiliation. He argued that if she were
innocent she need have no fear of having
her likeness seen in thehouseof God, and
when, in an unguarded moment, she un
covered her face she was instantly|photo
graphed.
When the day of her trial finally ar
rived she was not allowed to walk to the
court house, but was placed in the prison
van with a white woman and a negress,
both of whom had been convicted of in
famous crimes and who were going into
court to be sonteneed. She would have
cheerfully walked many miles to have es
caped such companionship, but she had
no choice in this matter; and so she rode
in the Black Maria, while the boys in the
street ran after the strangely named ve
hicle. and derided the misorable creatures
inside. She was placed in an iron cage nt
the back of the court room, where she
and her degraded associates waited to be
summoned before the bench. It was a
pen fit for beasts in a menagerie.
It was near an entrance to the
room, and every one who entered
there looked at the prisoners through the
iron gratmp of the pen. it was perhaps
the worst or all the humiliations the ac
cused woman had suffered. Her name
was called at last, and her trial begun.
As she had no money to pay for legal
services, the court assigned her counsel.
Her employer and his daughter told the
story of the ring. She bad suffered from
so much injustice tnat she was beginning
to expect to be convicted, when her law
yer cross-questioned her pupil. Against
her will he made the girl admit that the
ring had fitted her Huger loosely, and had
several times slipped from her hand and
been recovered. Little by little he drew
from her unwilling lips admissions that
she had sometimes visited the gov
erness’ room without her knowl
edge, and had often examined the con
tents of her writing desk and dressing
case-, and finally sho acknowledged that
she had been engaged in this meddlesome
business an hour before she had missed
| the ring. The girl was mortified by these
disclosures, but the cross questioning con
tinued persistently, mercilessly, until she
broke down and admitted that sho might
have lost it in her teacher's drawer. In
addressing the jury the judge remarked
J that he was surprised that the court’s
time had beeu wasted by so flimsy a
case, and he directed the Jury to render
a verdictof acquittal, which was promptly
done.
It will bo seen that the city's prisoner
had to travel a long and painful path be
fore she found any protection, any con
sideration, any justice; and yet in the
end it was admitted by judge, jury, and
even by her accuser, that there had never
been any evidence of guilt against her!
Her suffering has not ended yot. So long
as she lifts her face to the daylight, peo
| pie who see her will remember how sho
! looked in the fetid atmosphere of crime.
So long as she lives, the horror of her ex
| perieoce will haunt and influence her
! life. In the eye of tho law tho presump
tion of innocence may be a safeguard, but
it must seem like a mockery to those who
experience it.
Touched the Wrong Conscience.
The Boston Transcript says that a few days
ago, while a gentleman was buying stamps in
| the postofflce, someone took his umbrella, as
he believes, by mistake, and the loser put his
] oard in the morning paper: “The kind friend
who carried off my umbrella at the postoffice
yesterday, will bear in mind that tho.gates of
heaven’ are only twenty-four inches wide. My
umbrella measures twcaty-eight. At the
other place lie won t need it. Didn't Dives
pray tor just one drop of water? He had bel
ter return it to No. 208, Chamber of Commerce,
and no questions will lie asked." A few days
later a boy brought in an umbrella, but, alas!
not the advertiser's. He had caught the
wiong mans conscience.
