CLEVELAND, Sept. 28
Senator Kyle, who is still at his apartment at the Forest City House
recovering from his recent illness, expected to be able
to leave for his home to-day, but upon examination it was found that
a blood
clot had formed at the base of the brain, and
his physician advised him to remain quiet for a while longer. The
clot,
while not in the least alarming, might make trouble if
the senator excited himself, and as there is no reason for his
immediate
departure, he has decided to remain here until the
blood has absorbed. He is to all appearances, about as well as ever,
although his attendants still insist upon his remaining
quiet, and visits are required to be few and brief.

Wednesday ending vigil of four days by the child's mother. Ever
since a playmate of the victim told police of seeing Peggy fall into
the water, Mrs. Cleary kept watch on the lake hoping against hope
that her daughter had escaped drowning. Mrs. Cleary searched the
beach practically day and night, getting little sleep and refusing
food. She fainted when word of the tragic find of the coast guards
reached her.
Died-
March 4th,
1861, in the Penitentiary at Frankfort, Ky.,
Elijah Anderson,
of Cleveland, Ohio, aged 51 years and 9 months.
The deceased was
a very peculiar victim of the hatred and persecution from which we
of his class see little promise of escape.
He was born in
Buckingham Co., Va., of free parents, who being anxious to lessen
their disabilities, removed to Ohio, which State became
his home from youth. Here he became an efficient, though
unpretending worker in behalf of the bondman, so exciting the
animosity of the
oppressor, that plans were set which but too well succeeded
in putting him in his power.
In December,
1856, a decoy letter called him from Cleveland, to Madison, Ind.
At Cincinnati, he embarked on a steamer for the latter
city, but upon its arrival at Carrolton, Ky., officers of
the latter State who had been wickedly telegraphed to of his being
a passenger, boarded
the boat and made him their prisoner. Upon three indictments
which were immediately brought against him, he had three trials
and was
acquitted. A fourth indictment caused his removal to another
county, when a failure to convict him there upon two trials,
served to
exasperate his enemies to renewed persecution.—
Upon another indictment which they now hastened to find, his
case was referred to the Circuit Court, to be held in the
following June, to which
he was held to bail in the exorbitant sum of two thousand
dollars. Real estate to this value was offered and refused, and as
the strenuous efforts
which were made by his family and friends in various parts
of the country to raise the money were unavailing, he had to
remain a prisoner to
that trial.
The Court sat in
June, 1857 and he was convicted of violating the laws of the State
in which his never having been, made it impossible for
him to have been guilty. He was sentenced to eight years and
eight months imprisonment.—
Untiringly, his family and friends sought his reprieve,
thereto efficient testimony; but in the strength of the prejudice
against him, they
found it impossible to get a transcript of the evidence used
on his trial, the Judge and lawyers declaring they had forgotten
it and that no
record was kept of it. Of his sentence, five years remained
to be fulfilled, when the decree of Him whose ways are
inscrutable, went forth making
him one of that company of martyrs who suffered and died for
humanity's sake.
It was a sudden termination, causing an inquest, with a
verdict of `Death from heart disease.' With much difficulty his
remains were procured by his family,
when the melancholy satisfaction was given them of
burying him with THEIR dead.
In his death, his
widowed and venerable mother, an affectionate wife, a loving
daughter, and a numerous circle of relatives and acquaintances,
have lost one whose place can never be
filled, however penitent may be those to whose persecution
the loss is due; but, bowing in submission to the afflictive
dispensation, they have
comfort in the assurance that his Death is one of Life.

REFLECTED ON HER
CHASTITY
Matilda Ortner
began a $30,000 damage suit in the common pleas court Thursday
against her mother in law, Elizabeth Ortner.
She says that on April 8, 1882, she became the wife of Andrew
Ortiner, has ever since lived with him and is still living with him
in peace and quietude. They
have had six children, only one of whom, however, is alive.
She further asserts that her mother in law on two separate
occasions, namely on the 7th and 8th of the
current month, in order to bring her into public disrepute and make
her husband get a divorce from her, made scathing reflections on her
chastity and her faithfulness as a wife.
These are untrue, she says, and she wants $15,000 for each
outburst.
