RESULTS OF POLICE NvEsTIGATION-THE con-
DITION OF THE YOUNG wOMiN- SUFFERING
FROM EXHAUSTION AND FROM THE EFFECTS OF
DRUGS-TALKING IN A RAMBLING WAY.
New York Tribune, 26ih.l
Marion Caliscb was visited 10y physician
at her home. No. 2l3 Bloomfield street, Ho-
b0kcn Yesterday. He said that she was suf-
ferlng from great nervous prOstration, in
duced by excitement and drugs. He was
satisfied that she had been given large guam
titles OF some kind Of narcotic drug. 1t
was necessary, hc-Slid, that she sSuId be
kept very quiet for several weeks, and
should not be allowed 10 talk much with her
friends or TO read or write. He had no ap-
prehenSionS rs TO her final recovery.
The morning papers containing the re-
ports OF her return home were not shown to
Marion, ard she showed 80 curiosity TO see
them. She talked rarely. and then in dis
connected, rambling way. She said once
or twice that when she sat still and shut her
ewes IT seemed is II tie negrcsS was beside
her who attended her during The time she
said she was cOncFaled. Her parents did
not press her with questions, but asked her
once or twice what she was dong all OF
Jrnuary 1871. the day on which she disaT-
pcarcd. Marion declared that she certainly
" as at the klnOtI.dIitf tIldt UtN, dHu Sdlu
that she remembered being there. - She con-
tinued 10 persist III this statement. MANY
friends called To see her, but the doctors
instructions not TO allow them to see her
were strictly observed.
The police OF tbs city, when questioned
as TO any efforts made by them 10 find the
persons who held Marion Callsch captive,
or the house in which she was confined,
said that they ba1 Len able 10 learn moth
ing, and pretended 10 consider her story
ridiculous and altogether incredible. What
ever were their real views upon this natter
evidence was not lacking TO show that the
case was considered Of great importance.
Half dozen Of the best men Of the
Central office detective squad were
working under the personal orders
and direction 0f Inspector Byrnes all
Thurday night ana all day yesterday
with an amount Of energy and secrecy
that showed the importance Of the matter
in hand. Last night inform1ion was re-
ceiyed from a Trustworthy source that the
cab-driyer who tcOk The girl from the house
where she had been detained had been
found and was a prisoner at police bead
quarters, and that the discovery OF The
house and the arrest OF lis OCCUPANTS were
immlncnf. The inspector on duty at the
Central Office, when questioned about the
truth of this statement, profeSscd entire lg-
norance, and would not tell il such pris.
oner was in the cells. The information re-
ceived was, however, OF the NEST decided
character,

neighborhood Of Boar Swamp, llenrco

another farmer named Hall, who resided in
the slme neighborhoOd. 1t appears that the
two men got into Dispute about run
ming a line 20 separate their respective
farms. Blows were passed, and finally Hall
seized an axe and dealt Gathrigllt heavy
blow upon one OF his knees. The blade OF
the instrument pierced the flesh. cutting
the knee cap very badly and inflctlng
deep and ugly wound, which may cause the
leg to be ampuiated. Upon being struck,
Gathrieht fell to the ground, and was sub.
sequently taken into house near by and a
phy sican summoned TO attend him.
Yesterday morning a brother-in-Iaw OF
the wounded man went down TO the scene
OF the difficulty and returned at night.
Yesterday afternoon ii was reported at the
HenIico courthouse that Gathrigbt was
living in critical condition and was not
likely to recover. Hall was in Richmond

New YORK UNDERWRITERS AGENCY.-We
publish this morning the annual statements
Of the Gerlnania and Hanover Fire.Insu-
rance Companies, OF New York. These
two first. class companies constitute what Is
known as the New York Underwriters
Agency. under which name they conduct
the agency business throughout the South
and West. From their statements 1t will
be seen that their combined assets on the
lst OF January. 1881, we're Si,26j,3lj 81.
Since the lst Of January the capital OF the
Hanover has been increased TO 100000
Ube GermaDia's having been increased to
the same amount las year,. making lhelr
present assets "a, $3.50 81. These two
companies have a surplus over and above
the amount necessary 10 rCiGsure all out
standing risks, capital, and every other lia-
blliiy OF ?1,G72, 1925; in other words,
they could wind up their business and re-
turn 10 their stockholders the capital SUBJ
scribed and 81 G72, 1925 besides. The Ger
mania and Hanover have deposited 100000
United States bonds with the Treasurer OF
