San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 9.—Twen- ty-one New York orphans out of the consignment of forty, who were sent to Clifton and \orenci, to be placed in homes there, arrived in San Anto nio to-night accompanied by G. Whiting Swayne, agent: of the New York Foundling Asylum, and several sisters of charity, who had narrowly escaped from being lynched. The children, it seems, were given out to poor, and in many instances, unworthy Mexican fumilies on recom- mendation of a new priest in that vicinity. The Americans became in- dignant at Swayne and his party, whom they thought responsible. At Morenci the twenty-one children were recovered after an exciting scene, with the indignant Amerftan popula- tion on one hand, and on the othera furious Mexican population, who did not want to give up the children. At Clifton, however, when Mr. Swayne and the nurse set out to gather up the little ones from their wild foster homes among the poor and lowly, the American population, 1000 strong, surrounded thecar with rifies and eix-shooters and threaten- ed te lynch Swayne and punish the nurses. The people had risen in their anger, and after taking the babies from thé ignorant homes into which they had fallen, they made @ new disposition of them and refused to let Swayne and his party have them. Swayne says thatthe mobnot only threatened to lynch him but brutally cursed the nurees. Some of the sis- ters of charity are prostrated by the excitement and strain of the journey and many of the babies are sick. Swayne says that legal stepa will be taken to compel the people of Clif- ton to surrender the children, The party left for New York ‘to-night.

Scripture, the psychologist, through the United States ambassador here, has given two examples of his voice for permanent preservation. Dr. Scripture, describing the meaning of his request, said: “The phonetic archives are to in- clude records from such persons as will presumably have permanent historical interest for America. The importance of the undertaking can be estimated by considering what would have been the present value of voice records by Demosthenes, Shakespeare, or Emperor William the Great. “An advisory committee of eminent Americans has prepared a list of ten living Americans of the first historical interest whose voices will be preserved. I wish to record his majesty’s voice as the first European record deposited in the archives.” The emperor received. Dr. Scripture after the morning church service on Sunday recently. During the making of the record the emperor was alone with the phonograph. He spoke twice into the apparatus. The first cylinder, made especially for Harvard universi- ty, contained observations on Fred- erick the Great. The other was a short disquisition on “Fortitude in pain.” The emperor’s manner was kind and he showed interest in the matter. These archives of voices are said to be the first instituted for historical purposes, FIRE IN HISTORIC CABIN.

The cabin was built in 1710 and is constructed of hick- ory logs laid in tiers. It is "or a how the first building erected in town, and at present is the Shy pod ture of its kind in existence in that part of the country, Tradition has it that it was there Lord Howe and his ‘staff assembled and decided upon the evacuation of Germantown during the battle. The house is being preserved by the Site and Relic society, and is the most cherished of their possessions. The flames only destroyed a part of the wall, but had it not been for the pres- ence of mind of Werner in organizing the bucket brigade the historic building would doubtiess now be but a memory.
