New YORK, July 5.-In reference to
the shooting Of John +. Seymour,
brother-in-law Of Bishop Seymour, in
the seminary grounds, the Bishop says

Seymour were sitting together at an
open window when he directed her at
tention to what he said was woman
dressed in white sitting on the grass and
an attendant gentleman near. Mrs. Sey-
mour said she could see the woman
only, and took the opera glass, and then
she said she did see a man and woman.
A few moments aiterward, little before
10 o'clock, Seymour said he would 90
out, his intention being to send the man
and woman ont OF the grounds. About
a half hour later Mrs. Seymour saw that
the man and woman were gone.

He said 10 them that the campaign
lust opened would be one OF the most
closely contested known in the history

other imprlctiCable theories which have

would render the Republicans OF Ohio

4 LITTLE ROM ANCEt
Interesting Story Of Three West
Nirginians.

The story of John Burns, a young
man at present residing i'm Rising Sun,
Ind, is quite interesting. 1t is told 10y
the Aurora Nc,rs as follows John and
his two sisters, Maggie and Annie, were
born in Charleston, W. Va In 1865,
when they were all quite young, they
were left orphans and taken to the
Orphan Asylum at Cincinnati. John
stayed in the asylum one year, and
was then taken TO Pomeroy, Ohio,
and shortly aiterward his oldest
sister, Maggie, visited him. They
then parted for what they thought
a brief season, but which really proved
to be a period OF thirteen years. In
December last John went to Miamis-
burg, Ohio, where sudden determine
ton seized upon him to find out the
whereabouts OF his sister, and, acting
upon the advice of his friends to try
printers ink, sent personal to one
OF the Cincinnati papers, and he soon
received reply which made his heart
leap for JOY, and on opening it found it
to be from his long-lost sister, who was
living in Cincinnati. You may imagine
he was not long in hunting her up.
This good luck induced John to try to
find his other sister. A few weeks ago
he went from Rising Sun to
Ironton on tow-boat, and
on his return stopped in
Cincinnati, where he accidentally found
trace OF this sister, and was soon in her
presence The sisters had not seen each
other, nor their brother, for thirteen
years, and neither knew that the other
lived in Cincinnati. One OF the sisters
had been to Alabama, where she re-
maincd long time, and the other had
been all the way to Colorado and back,
and John there is no telling where he
has not been. After this long separation,
their first meeting is more easily i'm
agined that described. This is his
strange history. John does not propose
to let them get out Of his sight for any
great length OF time
