AN IMAGINATIVE YOUNG LADY
Originated the Horrible Tale Of Abduc.
tion and Outrage at Utica.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star
New YORK, July 31.-A Star special from
Albany, New York, says: A narrowing tale
of abduction and outrage, published by a
New York journal, last Sunday, now turns
out to be baseless fabrication elaborated
and palmed off by some clever Bohemian.
1t appears the heroine or victim OF the
aIlege;1, outrage is Miss Lossura, who was
born in the northern part of this State, and
in whose family there is a hereditary trait
of insanity.
In her case this trait has also been
developed and made itself apparent in nu-
merous escapades and high-fown adyen,,
lures, in which she has always Inquired
rather equivocally.
She has for several years travelled a good
deal on different railroads of this State, and
by some means or other contrives to place
herself in some peculiarly dramatic situa-
ton on almost every journey she takes.
Sometimes this occurs in one place, some
times in another, but she is careful never to
select the same point twice for her opera
tions. 1t is only lately that the people of
Jersey City, and in fact the whole country,
were shocked by tale of horror which she
disclosed to policeman. The Utica yarn Is
identical with the one told of an adventure
at Trenton, N. j., little over three weeks
ago. These stories are as baseless as the
veriest romance

Secretary of the State Department, which

TORONTO, ONT, July 31.-The Globe is

counselors have displayed the utmost good
will towards the Dominion in the choice
they have made No selection could have
shown greater confidence in the future of
this country, and none could be more bene-
fetal. 1t will turn all eyes toward Canada.
1t will bring thousands of tourists
to admire our natural scenery and
study our material resources, and
will secure for us even greater
share than otherwise we would have had of
the great emigration which must necessarily
take place, when active prosperity is again
made manifest on this continent. We are
sure that every inhabitant of Canada of
whatever origin, will receive with gratitude
this latest exhibition of the Queen of the
kindly goodwill which she has always shown
toward the Dominion. The Marquis will
unquestionably prove an excellent Consti-
tutional ruler, and the presence of the
daughter of the Queen will bring joy to the
hearts of thousands of loyal Canadians The
may be permanent, and the
experiment may never be repeated, but no
harm seems likely to arise from the ap-
pointment."

From the Penitentiary.

Deputy Sheriff Joe Moses returned late
last night from Columbus, whittier he had
taken eighteen prisoners, among them the
notoriously dangerous man, John Doe.
Mr.. Moses said that he had no difficulty
with the prisoners on the road, although hs
was somewhat afraid of Doe, who kept on .
continuous conversation with Hall, the bur
glar, sentenced for four years. Joe juss
caught the early train on the Little Miami
Road in time to get his prisoners safely
seated and shackled.
The mems only complaint was that they
were taken from their cells before they
could get their breakfast, but they soon be-
came satisfied when the Deputy Sheriff
gave them each pie and two glasses OF
whisky.
Joe says that Doe was completely taicca
by surprise when told to get up and maks
ready for his trip to Columbus, and hs
himself was heartily glad that he had noth-
ing more to do with his prisoner after haE-
ing safely Gagged him.

safe in the Jail at Greenville, s. c., and that
they may be taken out by reckless gang
of men who defy the Federal authorities
and either be shot or hanged. While there
was some foundation for these fears few
days ago, Commissioner Raum does not
share in these apprehensions, but thinks
that public opinion will afford ample pro-
lection to the three imprisoned officers.
District Attorney Northrop writes to Com
missioner Raum at length regarding this
case, taking the high ground that the SOW
ereignty of the Federal Government must
be maintained, and its right to control these
cases must be asserted. 1t has been charged
that Mr.. Northrop whose appointment was
understood to have been made upon the
recommendation of Gov. Wade Hampton,
was not in sympathy with the course of the
Federal Government in regard to these
cases. The letter received yesterday shows
this charge to be unfounded.
