SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND The Terrible Midnight BExperlence of Mrs. Blachford. A NEGRO'S ATROCIOUS DEED. Two Persons Frosirated by the Heat ~A Cabman Arrestea n Charge of Theft—A Miss ing Wonan. on A Villamous Negro. Rare presence of mind saved the property and life of Mrs. Nlachford, of 1010 Dodge street, early Monduy morning. The facts were given to the pofice but kept from publication that the villain might not take alarm and fly from the city. Dick Winfleld, a buriy, surly negro of about thirty years, hus for four months past been employed us porter about the flats at the number indicated above, He was su yet respectful; a drinking man yet trust- Worthy, at leastso thought his employer, Mrs. Blachfork. She had good reason so to think, Two months ago a burglar broke into the house and Winfield caught him und held him until ofticers arrived. The burglar ot five years at Lincoln for the job, and Vinfield rose to great trust in his employer’s house. O lato he has been drinking mor heavily then usual and his mistress thought several times to discharge him, but refrained because afraid that he might return and do injury to herself and property. Her son is expected to arrive home on the 15th of August and she decided to allow Winfleld to remuin until then. On Sunday evening one of the renters in the flat puid to Mrs. Blachford a cousidera ble sum of money, the amount due from three boarders for the month. Wintield chanced 10 be stunding by and saw the moncy tuken. In that moment kis resolve wus ta disappeared from sight. Mrs, Blachford hid the money, int ing to place it in the bank, as is her custom, on Monday o ing. = At the usual' hour she retir About 4 o'clock the next morniug she b a knock at her door.

The burglar, for such he scemed to be, approached the bed and made a mo tion s though to choke the brave little woman. Then. with a low, muttered cursc ho retired, through fear that the men in the other partof jthe big house would be awuk- encd and come to the rescue. A moment later the servant girl came hurrying up to her mistress’ room and lightea alamp. Thereon the table near at hund was the long, Keen carving Knife used et the Biachford table. At sight of the terrible weapon Mrs. Blachford nearly fainted, A search was made and it was discovered that Winfield was gone, The matter was at _once plain. He had brought the kniTe from the pantry, mtendiug (o murder if necessary t Ket the money, but weakening at the lust minute, he fled. As the pleasant, soft-vo counted the stwory last evenng she shud- dered and expressed the perfect hol which hus possessed her since that terribl morning. Brave she undoubtedly is, and quick-witted, but it w not” thought Dest to the house unguarded, us the vindictive negro nnght return and wreak vengeance at any time. Winlield got away with $1, which ho found in & cupboard before entering Mrs, Blach- ford's room. A vigilant search for Winficld is being prosecuted, Victims of the Heat. Ed, Lambert, a grader working at Twen- ty-fifth and Chicago streets, was stricken by the heat yesterday afternoon a short tine before 5 o'clock. e was brought to the police station in the patrol wagon and placed inthe bands of Dr. Ralph. An old fellow named Pat Corbett, in for vagrancy, was left for a time in churge of Lambert, who was at the time unconscious, and a quarter of an our later Captain Green looked in and found that Corbett, overcome by the heat, had fallen to the Hoor in a faint. He was quickly resuscitated, and felt none the worse for his temporary | weukne: Not 80 with Lambert. For 8e! al hours ne was _unconscious, tossing about ut in- tervals so violently that the strength of four men was hardly sufticient to hoid him. At first his_recovery wus thought im- possible, but ut midnight he was breathing frecly and sleeping, with chandes in favor of ultimate recovery. About5 o'clock a lady fell “walk near the Wabash corner. and passer: by carried her into the office of Fitz & Day where medical attendance was summoned. She recovered consciousness a couple of hours later, and was driven to her home. The laay's name could not be uscertained. -— She Banks on Sympathy. That young woman 80 extensively written * up during the past few days as having been confined a prisoner in & “mansion’ in this city, and who subsequently came to light in police court in connection with & $6 prosti- tute's fine, was sent up ‘to the county jail because she had no moncy to liqui date the ofticial ovligation.

A lady who has divorced her husband for his misconduct. there being nothing agninst herself, may now at- tend a drawing room, provided that she receives specinl pevmission, which, however, is not granted until the queen has satislied herself, by reading the port of the trial in which the applicant ifgured. that the aforesaid applicant’s conduct has been free from blame. There has been quite a rush of ladies in this situation for leave to come to court, and some who desired to attend the last drawing room were unable to do s0, a8 the queen had not found time to investigate their marital antecedents.

HOW TO KEEP THE SEWERS CLEAR A Shell Man Coniés to Grief—The Sa- loonkeeperd Wrathy—A But- ting Matgh-A Pleasant Ocremony, A Prohibition Move at Manawa. Messrs Odell Bros. and Louie, the owners of the eighty acre tract on the south side of Lake Manawa, on which Manhattan beach is situated, are determined that there shall be no more saloon business carried on there, It was at their request that the recent move was made against the beer joints located there, which resnlted in the closing of the places kept by George Drake, James Rose and John Kinuey. It is their desire to have o permanent injunction issued against the property, and no more leases for saloon pur- Poses can be negotiated. 1t is understood, however, that no moves are contemplated against any of the other places at the lake, cither at Wright's landing or on the north shore. The result of the move just mado will be appreciated by all who have occasion to visit Manhattun beach, a8 it will effectually removo the odium that hius been associated with the place, not from any mismanagement, but simply on account of a few disreputable characters that have been wont to assemble at tnese drinking places, between the beach and Wright's landing. Odell Bros. have worked hard and unceasingly to conduct a bathing resort that could offer every attraction, and it is no more than was to have been expected thatthey would remove the last trace of anything that would tend to make the beach unpopular and disagreeable for patrons. The patronage bestowed upon the bathing establishments at the lake has increused so ravidly this season that the accommodations have been greatly increased to keep pace with it, and the work that has been done at both Manhattun and Manawa beaches is re- ally remarkuble. At Mauhattan beach the accommodations of last year have been just about doubled, and the buildings erected are in overy way superior. At Manawa beach, on the north side of the inke, Mr. Malowney has been constantly building' and improving, and has at last comploted a_bath_house that is not surpassed anywhero, His last im- provement was completed yesterday, and consisted of putting a roof over the west bathing compartment, for the use of after- noon bahers. It will keep off the hot rays of the sun, and will tend to greatly increase the amount of bathing done during the day. Next week the election of the ofticials of the new town will be held, and it is stated that several important changes will then be inaugurated. The move to secure clectric light for the lake is not meeting with as en- thusiastic encouragement by the council as was anticipated. That the extension of the electric circuit of the luke will prove a great thing for the suburban resort there 18 no question, and it is equally certain that it will eventually be built there, but the prospects 10 this direction for the near future are not particulariy brilliant. | i R C.

Some of the saloonkeepers are making s loud and protracted howl over the unkind action being taken by their ex-brethren in attempting to bave: their places of business closed up. It seems (hat since Judge Deemer nflicted a few heavy fines for contempt of court, during his term on the bench here a few weeks ago, there has been n groat deal of work donc on the quiet, with tho end in _view of carrying on this work and cinching other saloon men to keep them company in their grief. As nearly as can be ascertained, several of the unfortunates who have felt the weight of the strong arm of the law on their pocket- books have secured the services of George Bolton, esq., to look after the matter and see that all are’ treated alike. Mr. Bolton was asked yesterday regarding the matter, and stated that nothing coula be told as yet'con- cerning their plans, but would simply say that it was the intention to gecure a fair and jmpartial admimstration of justice, und to see that there was no more discrimination in favor of certain saloonkeepers. A might naturally be supnosed, the saloon men now in business are decidedly hot re- garding it, and denounce in unmeasured terms the' actions of fheir less fortunate brothers. Itis asserted that the recently developed prosecution proposes to’ make o levy against the saloon keepers that will make them squeal when the timo comes. The saloonists charge that the move is mado sy to_secure revenue, and the others reply that it is hardly fair for one side to ct ull the fat things aud leave them out in the cola.

In other words, says the London "ele- graph, each and every Berliner. irre- spective of age, sex and political opin- ions, is officially credited with the con- sumption of 141 pounds weight of beef, mutton, veal, pork, lamb and horse flesh per annum. No fewer than 7,000 horses are slaughtered arly for the Berlin meat market, théir flesh being generally sold as *butchers’ meat” in shops specially affected to the retuil trade in pferdefleisch, and pavtly worked up 1nto sausages, a popular vi riety of which is hawked, all hot, about the streets late in the evening and dur- ing the smailer hours of the early morn, Poor Prussians are much ad dicted to horseflesh, stewed in sauce; nor do the well to do disdain it as an occasional viand served under its own name.
