From the New York Times. ‘The camel ts a very unlovely and unlovable deast, in spite of the dictum of Mr. John Bright, ‘who, In the winter of 1884~'85, pathetically spoke on ‘the authority of his Inner consclousness, ‘or perhaps of a stray visit to the London Zoologi- cal Gardens, Where he inight have seen one carry- ing children, of the patent camel in the Soudan uncomplaining under bis heavy load. Not only does he make ‘niore row about his burden than any other beast that 1s used by man, but whether 1s being loaded or unloaded, Ne howls and shrieks with rage, and woe betidé the man, other than his regular ahd feared driver, whotsincautious enough to get within reach at sich a time of his sharp and long teeth, witch inakeas ugly a wound asa doctor ‘could’ dream of. The natural history of the camel may be left to the authors of more or less learned Works upon the mammalia of the animal kingdom, but there 18 one of his char- acteristics which they all, with once consent, have failed to note, It is lits siperciious aspect. ‘The ‘one-humped brute has this look in a greater de- gree even than a British duchess in one of Mr. George du Maurier’s pictures.

Somewhat Like Garfield’s—The Dying Man Sald to Have Sent for His Wife. A Chicago special to the Philadelphia Press last night says: Stephen W. Rawson, the millionaire banker, who was shot by his seventeen-year-old stepson, Ralp W. Slaymaker, at the Third Presby- terfan church Sunday, is still alive. A consulta- tion of the leading surgeons of the city was held this afternoon, and as the ball near the vertebr@ cannot be ‘and appears to have taken a direction somewhat similar to that which caused President Garfield's death, the surgeons propose ‘open the body. This affords the only, but des erate, chance of the wounded man’s survival. A Tumor'that Mrs, Rawson 1s likely to be arrested as an accesory to the crime is directly traceable to the statement of those famillar with the divorce Proceeding? that they ex ‘Mra Rawson ‘would herself shoot her hus! That Mrs. Raw- 0n had no knowledge of her son's murderous in- tention when he left her has been clearly estab- lished, and the public sympathy is decidedly in favor of the boy and his mother. acnald 8 glaNZer le.aay:, “In ease Mr. Rawson loes not die the charge against the young man Will be attempted murder, but, he being under eighteen years of age, cannot be ‘sent to the peni- tentiary, and, as he is over sixteen years of he 1s too old to send to the reform school for tl offense. The most severe punishment that can De inflicted on him will be eighteen months in the house of correction.” Xoung Slaymaker was seen in his cel this after- noon.

DETECTIVES WHO CAME. TO WASHINGTON TO GRT EVI- DENCE AGAINST THE WIE, A telegram from this city to the New York Sun says: Mrs, Rawson, whose son, W. It. Lee, shot his stepfather in Chicago, 1s well known in Washing- ton, She came here about ten years ago, and through the influence of several wealthy cliizens of New Orleans obtained a position In the issue and gazette division of the Patent oMice, She was regarded by her co-workers as a rather diMcult petpon to get along with. “Her temper was a little ad, and she had the reputation of being some- what vindictive and revengeful. She was a per- son that no one could take an advantage of. On one occasion Chief Clerk Duryea attempted to compel her to do certain work which she did not regard asin her line of duty. ‘There was a short, hot fight, and then Mrs, Lee came out with fying colors. While in Washington Mrs, Lee lived in & nicely-furnished house on Thirteenth, between G and H streets, She frequently tnvited her friends to spend evenings with her, and all were of the opinion that she was a very estimable lady as longas she had her own way. The youth who did the shooting was particularly noted, His hand- some face won for him many praises among the ladies tn his mother’s office, “Young Lee appeared to have a great regard for his mother, and was her almost constant companion. He was regarded as a very smart boy, and many older persons took agreat fancy to him. ‘The little girl, too, was a pretty child, but as her mother was almost. con- stanty employed, she did not have the opportu- nity of bringing her up as she desired. Last winter several unknown men made their appearance 1n the corridors of the Interior De- partment. They gossiped with the lady clerks und made themselves as agreeable as possible, One of them even took a pretty girl—who, by the way, was a friend of Mrs. Lee's—to the ‘theater several times, The two had elegant suppers and all the gilt-edged enjoyments of Washington life. ‘The lady clerks all wondered why all the men were 80 anxious to dis-over something about Mrs. Lee, ‘who had long since resigued, and was understood to have married very happily in Chicago. After considerable =kirmishing one of the lady clerks discovered the secret and sounded the alarm. ‘The men were Chicago detectives, and had been sent to Washington to look up Mrs. Lee's record and get evidence against herto use in the then pending divorce case. ‘The detectives told one inan Who claimed to know something about the object. of thelr search that 1t did not matter Whether the story was true or not; they only Wanted something to take back to thelr employer, Mr. Rawson, AS I employes of the Pavent Oftice ‘were concerned, the detectives Were coun pelled to go home empty handed, ‘The shooung affair has occasioned a great deal of excitement 1 Department circles, and 4s the talk of the hour In the Patent ontice.

"She 1s elghteen years of age, has been tn the family since she was three years of and was regarded as, and treated lke, ne of the Henderson ’ chil- dren. Last’ Tuesday 1t was determined to arrest the girl, and the charge then made against her was larceny. ‘The arrest caused a con- siderable sensation, but the real sensation was not developed until Saturday, when Miss Demore confessed to a series of ‘crimes. She says she polsoned the cow because she did not want to milk It; that she set the fires because she had a grudge against her foster parents, and that she smothered “the baby because it eried. 9 18 chargea, but to these charges the girl has not con- fessed, that she tortured the infant and then killed it; that she has made frequent attempts to remove the family. ‘The prisoner 1s a fairly good- looking girl, and 1s etther insane or flendish.

Mere “Confessions” by Young Stain. SOME OF HIS STORIES ARE WORTHY OF ADOENING 4 DIME NOVEL. ‘A New York Tribunc’s special trom Boston, ‘October 16, says: It may not be possible to fasten upon Stain and his gang the murcer of Cashier Barron, of the Dexter Bank, but there ts already enough known about them to send them probably to prison for life, if not to the gallows It is charged that at least six murders and as many big robberies committed during the last fourteen years can be traced to these men. About fourteen years ago a farmer named Mes- senger, in Norfolk, Mass, was found murdered in his house, and about $1,800 in money was missing. Stain’s gang Was living about 12 miles from Mes. rs house. Young Stain, who has confessed ‘to Sheriff Mitchell his share in a; many crimes, says that one morning he, his father, and Crom- well went to Norfolk, where the old man Messen. ger was known to have comeinto the ion of large sum of money. They arrived at Norfolk late in the evening. Young Stain drove the horses and remained with then while the other two went n foot to the house of Messenger. ‘They returned not ‘after, bringing « small bag which con tained the mone; y divided the booty in the wagon. They said they did not get as much as they expected, but Stain’s share was about $500, Young Stain says his father told him they did not Kill Messenger, but that he would probably die, Sheriff Mitciiell says the murderers got Into the house while Messenger’s wife and daughter were absent, and found him in bed. He refused to tell where his money was hid, whereupon they beat him terribly, gagged him and bound him with a rope to the bed. They then searched the hou: and at last found about $1,800. There Was $500 more secreted in an old clock, but the robbers failed to find It, The detectives who Worked on the case noticed at the Ume that the knots were evidently thed by a sailor, as in the case of Barron, at Dexter. itehell relates a horrible story about Sheriff 5 Cromwell and the elder Stain Young Stain says that a farmer named Steele, of Medfeld, was picked out by the gang as _a good subject to work upon. They determined to secure Steeie’s fart which adjoined one owned by Stain. Cromwei and young Stain went to Steele’s place one day, taking with them a bottle of whisky, in which had been put a heavy dose ot arsenic. When they Teached Steele's house they sngeget ‘the old man iu conversation and offered him a drink of we polsoned Whisky, which he took, and died soon after, It was part of the scheme that young Stain should marry Steele's daughter, live with her a little while, and then kill her and secure the farm; ‘but the young man refused to carry out his part or the plot, and so te felt turough Another “murder was commitied in a similar manner, A man named Hammond owned a farm adjoining Stain’s which the latter coveted. Stain determined to murder him. The gang went to his lace With poisoned whisky and found the farmer usy in his bara, handling an ugly bull. The ani- mal pinned Hammond to the bara, but did not injure him, ‘The poisoned whisky was adminis- tered and Hammoud died. The gang made it ap- pear that the Dull had’ inflicted injuries which caused the farmer's death, Stain fatied, however, ‘to get possession of the farm. ‘The Origi From Puck.

She lighted the fife, fed the chickens, and did’ other chores about te house, but when the family returned after milking the girl was missing, Search was immediately made, as the locality 1s lonely and they were apprehensive that all Was not right. ‘The father and brothers scoured the fields and alarmed thelr netghbors, and at 8 o'clock Olive was found crying in the road some Gistance from the house, “Her clothing was torn and her person bore marks of violence. she Stated that while she stood at the kitchen sink opening clams she was selzed by two men, Who gagged her and threw a cloth over her head: Her hands were bound and the men carried her out at tle kitchen door.
