A Strange Case-The Mysterious Disap-
 Pearance of a Young Lady.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 21.-Another one of those mysterious disappearances for which St. Louis has become somewhat famous occurred here Sunday evening and caused grief in several we'll known families On Sunday evening Colonel James o. Churchill. vice president and manager of the Webster Anthracite Coal company, and his wife went out for a short drive. leaving at home their daughter Mary, about seventeen years old. On their return about o'clock the daughter could not be found and no clue to her whereabouts has yet been discovered: She was last seen standing alone about o'clock at the front gate of the family residence, 2,373 Morgan street, in her home attire and presenting no unusual appearance. Detectives have been working on the case since last night and every effort has been made by them and by the girls father and friends but nothing has yet been heard of her. She was a quiet, grave girl studious, devoted to music and cared little for gentlemen's society. The only theory so far advanced is abduction. The young lady is described as follows: About five feet three inches high. straight and well developed, light brown hair and grayish blue eyes, oval face, regular features and some- times wore her hair banged.

McDerrnOtt CounmItted-Held to Answer
 For Conspiracy to Murder.
 LIVERPOOL. Aug. 21.-The examination of James McDermott of New York, whose ar- rest was announced fortnight ago as he ar- rived in England, WAS completed before the committing magistrate to day. It attracted unusual interest because of the reports which have reached here since his arrest charging him with being Spy for the government and having been in communication with the po- lice during the entire time when he was ap- parently intimately associated with the Irish dynamite leaders. There has been apparent menace toward McDernott noticed by the officers who had him in charge and extra pre- cautions were taken to prevent any dis turbance either in the way of an assault or rescue. Some surprise was expressed when it was known shat the capital charge had been made against him and that he would have to an- sWer for murder or conspiracy to murder, the charge in the first instance being in the shape of an accusation of having been an &C., cessory before the fact. The men with whom the government had accused him of having been associated were only convicted of treason felony Irish agitators explain this by saying that the accusation is only means of letting him go scot free by trying him for crime of which they know he cannot be convicted. Little IS known of the character of the evidence in possession of the crown off cers, but they say they have complete case. The testimony vent little beyond showing his connection with the members of the dynamite party. Neither Mo Dermott nor his counsel made any defense and he was committed by the magistrate to answer to the charge of conspiracy to murder. The trial will probably take place at the end of a fortnight unless by some encouragement it should go over until the case is forgotten. as some of the Invincibles assert will be done.

 LONDON, Aug 21.-The House of Lords this evening rejected the Irish registration bill by vote of 52 against 32. The defeat of this measure, which would have secured to the home rule party nine-tenths of the Irish representation in the next Parliament, though disappointing to MT. Parnell, has not destroyed his hope of being able to control at least seventy votes in the next House, which would be about twice the present strength of his adherents in that body and would probably give him the balance of power.

The Tory members of the House of Commons have repeatedly and consistently questioned MT. Gladstone concerning the policy of the government in the matter, but the Premier has thus far steadfastly refused to satisfy any inquiries or demands for information on the subject. The reports from Paris and from Tamatave as to the intentions of the French govern ment are conflicting and the statements from French and English sources disagree on the most material points.

Hanlan's Defeat - Some UncOmpltmeR-
 tary AuusiOns to the Champion.
 BOSTON, Aug. 2I.-Hanian's defeat at Fall River yesterday has caused no end of com ment hereabouts, some of it very unfavorable to the champion. In an interview Hanlan said 1t was just as he expected. His partici- patton in regattas had always proved fatal in the long run. He did not like regattas, but fortunately nothing was staked on this race and no one lost by him, which was also the case in his defeat at Seakonk. Yesterday he was four lengths ahead at the turn both times, but in the first heat his boat filled on the return and his wind gauge broke. which caused him to give up. In the final race his boat filled again, and when he struck the steam er's wash he was obliged to stop rowing alto- gether and save himself from capsizing. He says he is not afraid of any of the contest ants and is confident he can beat any of them single handed. Both he and Hosmer are used up, and both will now rest, although he will fill his exhibition appointments. Hos- mer attributes his defeat by Teemer solely to the fact that the latter had better water. Ross says Teemsr is the coming sculler of America, as he is very strong.
