I,ocKror.T, N. V.. Sept. IT. Thorp was
no happier child in tho whole world than
wns Mi.lioont Arnol.i just at this time
two yours ano. It was impossible not to
fool cheerful when she was about. Sho wns
very pretty, with her bifr, laughing eyes
and rosy cheeks and ll;s. that would smile
whenever there was half a chance. The
stiu never pot in her heart, and tho tlowors
bloomed thorn winter and summer.
The whole town knew her and loved
her and on vied her father ar.d mother.
Sho and her father were always together.
He was a yoiinj- man. handsome, popular,
rising in polities, successful in business.
And when he and little Millieent walked
together, as they did almost every o n
ln niter business and school wore over fo
the day, they smiled happily at every one
they mot, and every one smiled happily
back at t hum. especially at the little girl,
Who was so evidently proud of her father.
Ho was .lohn Jacob Arnold, tho county
treasu: or and the cashier of the Merchants'
National bank, and his home was olio of
tho most eomfoi'table as well as tho
happiest in l.oekport. One day in the fall
of 1MHI tiny sent for Millieent to come
homo from seheol. Tho bunk had elosed.
nn examination of the hooks of the coun
ty was in progress, anil her father was in
jail. Milium nt went to the jail with her
mother. It was a horrible shook, and her
mother, who knew tho truth, had broken
down. Hut little Millieent faced her fa
ther with a bravo smile.
Knew ne Was Innocent.
"I know you are innocent, father," she
sold, putting her arms around his neck.
It was not until weeks afterward, when
he hail begun to serve his l'J years' sen
tence, t hut a child taunted hor with her
father's disgrace and thus opened her
eyes to the truth.
Presently she began to droop. The doc
tors canio and said she was threatened
with consumpt ion. Tho A rnolils had no
money to take her away. The pretty home
was riitio, ami even tho humblest house
was too erpi ::sive fi r them. lut ev en it
they hail '..;'.. 0:1 her away it is doubtful if
it would havo d-.tte her any good. Within
six months the disease had fastened upon
her.

op!.' of the town who were al
to see hor. And her beauty,
ic eying less, grew greater, lly
g she was so fragile that they
st afraid to touch her. And one
r -reat. sad eves was enongh to
bring tho tears to the eyes of those who
called.
Two weeks a.To it b.-enme certain that
her death was only a matter of a few days.
The child seemed to know it and began to
6sk to see her father. Sho talked in every
one about it av.ii refused to believe that
the law could bo so cruel as to prevent
him from seeing his little girl before she
died. It seemed to bo so. however, ami,
although every lawyer in town was inter
ested and was trying to iieise seme plan
by which it eot.'.d I o done, tu t one of them
could think of anything.
Richard Crowley, who had been her fa
ther's lawyer, set to work to get the trial
of another otlieial of tho Merchants' bank
fixed for as early a date as possible. When
bo had made sonic progress wit li this, he
Went before Judge Miller and applied for
a writ of habeas eorpus for Arnold so that
ho could testify. It was a flimsy excuse,
but tho judge, sitting in a court of merey
and not in a court of justice, promptly
granted the writ. This was Saturday
afternoon. Sunday morning Arnold, in
Citizen's clothes, started for home.
A Pathetic Seene.
In the evening ho was with his daugh
ter. When the door opened and he carao
In and caught her In his arms, she threw
hor arms about his neck niul put her chock
against his and gave a long si;.h. "I
kuow ho would bring you." she said. Ar
nold was crying, and tin- keeper was wip
ing his eyes. The little girl was quite calm.
"Now lay mo In tho bed, father, " .-ho
said. "I au . 0 tired. It was to long
waiting for you."
She lay there, her face as white as the
pillow, hor big eyes, bright, s tiny had
not boon for two years, fixed upon her fa
ther. Her tiny hand was nestled in lies.
She was perfectly quiet as t he hours passed
exi pt tnat now and then she would give
a faint sigh and sr.y, "Oh, lam so happy!"
When life wts so weak in her that sho
could not spor': abi to a whisper, she mur
mured that sho wished him to pray. When
hor mother had prayed, far father still
ho Uing the litao girl's hand as h !;!;:

Girl Later Than Ho Admits Footprints
In the Road Tell or a Fearful Struggle
and May Furnish a Clow.
Somervillk, N. J., Sept. IT. .Tncob S.
Johnson, the colored evangelist with whom
Annio Kogers of Newark was last seen
alivo in this place, has been arrested
and committed to jnil without ball on
suspicion of being her murderer. New
and Important evidence, which appears to
disprove the story first told by Johnson,
has eomo to tho knowledge of the authori
ties. Tho mulatto girl was found dead
Sunday nioruing in a patch of woods near
tho Karitan river. Thoro woro finger
marks on her throat.
A flagman on tho Central Railroad of
New Jersey was found Sunday night who
saw the woman within half an hour of
tho' time which is sot for the murder to
havo occurred. IIo had just flagged tho
ls3::S0 train when a man and woman
passed his shanty. He is positive Johnson
was tho man, and ho was carrying a largo
package. Johnson on Saturday night had
purchased a half of venl and carried it
home. He was dressed in overalls and
jumper.
This is tho description of tho man seen
with the woman outside Somervillo going
in tho direction of tho spot where the girl
was strangled, probably about 1 o'clock,
or half an hour titter she passed tho flag
man. Johnson took his arrest coolly, and
held that the story he told tho coroner on
sunday was true. This was to the effect
that when ho last saw tho woman she was
in the company of two men.
She Bad 30 With Rer.
The woman, who before her marriage
was Annlo licekman, uvea in rvewars.
On Saturday Johnson accompanied hor to
Neshanic, where she obtained $r0 due her.
Tho return to Somervillo was made in
tho ovening, and tho visits to the bar
rooms followed. Tho girl is said to have
taken wine, whilo Johnson took soda wa
ter. What tho authorities wish to know most
of all is what the woman did during the
two hours that elapsed from tho time she
is thought, to have been in a saloou with
Johnson until sho was seen at tho crossing
by the llngman. It should not have taken
so long to reach tho place. The murder
was committed on the roadway, and there
was something of a struggle. Her clothing
was torn in places. It is thought she did
not cry out, as tho grip taken on hor
throat was evidently a terrific ono. That
sho did not soratch Johnson a face is
thought strange If he is tho murderer.
Tho authorities think her natural action
would have boon to claw at tho faco of her
assailant.
That one set of the footmr.rks found arc
those of the murdered woman there can
bo no doubt. The iron heel plates on the
shoes of the woman are pcrfeetly marked
The marks along the BO yards from the
spot where the body was found show that
the murderer, instead of picking up his
victim, draggod her along with her heels
scraping tho ground. Johnson's shoos
were fitted into tho other set of tracks and
proved an exact lit.
Roubery the Motlre
Johnson is small of stature. He hns
been in the habit of preaching to his race
in Somervillo, although he was never or
dained.
Robbery was tho motive for the murder.
When tho girl received her money on Sat
urday, she placed it in a beaded purse,
which sho placed in her bosom. When tho
body was discovered the woman's dress
was found to havo been ripped open
Johnson lived not far from whore the bodv
was found. His shanty is close to a small
creek that empties into the Karitan river.
When he was arrested, his wife became,
hysterical and claimed that tho fact that
her husband was a preacher made the
charge preposterous. Johnson's sister's
screams could havo been heard half a mile
away. The prisoner retained ex-Prosecutor
Steelo and Lawyer Mechan to look aft
er his case.
It was learned in Newark that tho mur
dered woman was tho wife of a colored
basket maker named Rogers of 2T Leek
street, Newark. lingers Is 73 years old
and the murdered woman only 24. Sho
married him about six months ago. Mrs.
Rogers had nover been from homo until
last Thursday, when she went to Somer
ville to attend to some business matters.
Pho bears an excellent reputation among
hor acquaintances in Newark.

THE DURANT TRIAL.
OUR CRICKETERS WIN.
University or Pennsylvania Defeats the Eng
lish Team by loo Runs.
Philadelphia, Sept. 17. Tho Univer
sity of Pennsylvania "past and present"
won a most conspicuous victory over Ox
ford and Cambridge "past and present" in
the first international intercollegiate crick
et match played in this country, winning
by an even 100 runs.
Tho match began on Friday last, the
Englishmen going ilrst to the bat and
finishing their innings for the largo total
of 2S4. Then Pennsylvania took the de
fense of tho wickets, and under the speedy
trundling of tho foreign bowlers lost four
wickets for 38 runs before stumps wero
drawn and finishing their innings for 139
next day, being obliges, to "follow on."
It was lu this socoud t.fay at the bnt that
thoy retrieved their olmost lost fortunes,
piling up the magnificent score of 3C7,
giving them 101 more than the foreigners.
When tho heavy hitting F.cgllshmen
went in to bat for their second innings on
Monday, interest was at a high pitch, al
though it was felt that littlo short of a
miracle could lot the Ponnsvlvnnlans win.
The miracle happened, however, for in
side of an hour and a half tho visitors' ten
wickets were down for the paltry scoro of
01. Patterson and Clark deserve most of
the credit for pulling a lost game out of
the fire, although tho men in tho field
plrycd a fast game.
The visitors will play matches here with
the Gentlemen of Philadelphia on Sopt.
20, 21, 23, 27, 2S and 30. Tho team which
will opposo them will be substantially the
same as that which represented the Cni-
versity of Pennsylvania in tho game just
finished.
MAY CALL TALMAGE.
The Brooklyn Divine May Sneered Dr. Sun
derland In Washington.
Washington', Sept. 17. A local paper
prints a report that the Rev. T. Do Witt
Talmage of Brooklyn may be called to
Washington to succeed Rev. Byron W.
Sunderland as pastor of the First Presby
terian church of this city. Such a report
has been mentioned as a remote possibili
ty, continjteut upon the resignation of Dr,
Sunderland and tho suftcquent determi
nation of tho church to call Dr. Talmage.
It has boon based largely upon the fact
that Ir. Talmage and Dr. Sunderland are
close personal friends and arc at present
summering together in tho Caikills. It
has been understood that Dr. Sunderland,
who is advanced in years, has desired for
some time to retire from nctivo church
work, but his congregation has resisted
every intimation from him looking toward
his retirement. At present there is no va
cancy, and therefore no determination to
call Dr. Talmage, although It may ulti
mately come about that the distinguished
Brooklyn divine will come to the national
capital ns the successor of his old friend.

AGfiiSf PR LOPEZ.
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER H0ADLEY
WILL BRING HIM INTO COURT.
Said That He Neglected to Keport a Case
of Starlet Fever in Woleott Dr Lopet
Snyn It Is l'rosecntioii.
County Health Ollicer Carlton E.
Iloailloy said to-day that he would
prosecute lr Halph Lopez of this city,
for neglecting to repori a ease of scarlet
lever in Woleott. Dr I.opez will be ar
raigned before a justice in Woleott to
morrow. This prosecution is brought
under the law passed by the last general
assembly.
Dr I.opez. when seen by a Pkmocrat
reporter this afternoon, was surprised
when he hoard that he was to be prose
cuted. Ho said ho was called to attend a
case of scarlet lover in Woleott about
two months ago. the patient being a lit
tle girl in the family of E. Carthwaite.
She died on the day the doctor was
called. There was also a case of the
fever in a family of the same name, living
next door. He says ho made a written
report of the case, which he sent by
messenger to the Woleott board of
health, thereby complying with the law.
After the girl's death the family of E.
Carthwaite moved near the Waterbury
city line and another doctor was called.
Dr I.opez says the whole trouble was
probably brought about by some of the
Woleott people who arc opposed to for
eigners, because ho w as working up a
good practice in that town. Ho is per
fectly willing that the whole matter
shall be ventilated in the court.
NOTHING FOUND.
Another Theory Keanling the Fast
Thompson Mystery Exploded.
Wil l iMANiic, Sept HI. Another the
ory which it was believed would lead to
to a linal solution of tho now famous
storskewjei mystery has been exploded,
and the police are as far from the truth
of the affair as when the crime
was committed. Captain William Hill
house, chief of the local police depart
ment, went to East Thompson Saturday
to investigate a clue which had been re
ported. The clue was found, and con
sisted of a hole urnler an apple tree near
the lnni-e. It was six feet long, and
two wide, about sis feet deep, and in fact
about the size and shape of a grave.
It had been carefully stoned on the bot
tom and sides, and the top was care
fully closed over, the dirt ou the stones
apparently having been washed
down by the rains. The
hole was empty, and for what
purpose it may havo boon dug is a mys
tery. The theory that it may have been
used as a crematory by Jerry Storskew
joi, who is accused of having
"murdered his wife Kosa and
hor young son, is not credited
by the police, for had the bodies been
burned in the pit, together wilh the
necesssary amount of fuel, the ashes
would have been found.
