A Young Girl Subjected TO Horrible
CrueIties by ROughs.

MILWAUKEE, October 2-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance of young
girl about week ago has been solved to-
day, and the dissolution develops the facts
in one of the most horrible outrages ever
known i'll this part of the country. In
passing the old stock-yards, near the cor
ner of Twelfth and Hill streets, Superin-
tendent Whitehead, of the Humane Socie-
ty, noticed two young men leave one of
the ruined stables, and, after glancing
hastily around, start up the street. He
went to the barn and found Young
girl, apparently seventeen or eighteen
years old, lying on pile of hay, in
Il half-uneonscious condition. He assisted
her to his carriage and conveyed her to
police headquarters. 1t was then ascer-
tanned that she was Mamie Trester, who
has been mysteriously missing from her
home on Poplar street since last Wednes-
day, and that she had been drugged by
party Of roughs and brutuallv treated.
According to her own story, she LETT home
i'll the afternoon, met Il young man whom
she knew, and the two drank n glass of
wine at . restaurant. She then became un-
conscious, and when she came TO hersenses
she was in a car near the lumber-yards on
the st. Paul track and Hill street. a dozen
men were with her. Again she remem-
bers being taken along the railway
track in the direction of Wauwatosa,
and as she partly regaincd consciousness
bottle of whisky was placed to her lips,
and she was compelled to drink until her
memory was drowned. Again she re-
vived, and found herself in dark woods,
a blazing fire lighting up the surroundings
and showing party of seventeen rough
looking men as her captors She was losed
with liquor ard drug until her reason
again departed. When she regained con-
sciousness she was living as found by SUI
| perintendent Whitehead, half famished,
numb with cold, and under the influence
of the drug and liquor. She was unable
to move, and could scarcely articulate
when discovered. The girls family was
notified, and she was taken TO the home OF
her father. She is in very critical con.
dition, and suffers greatly from exposure
| hunger and the treatment she received
The officers are looking for the perpe
traitors of the outrage, with the chances IN
favor of the arrest of the entire party
| They think circus followers took here tC
| WaGwatosa The other persons are re
ported TO live on the West SIDE.

PREFERRED CREDITORS.
Resoiutions Adopted by the New York
Chamber of Commerce.

New York, October 1.-The Chamber OF
Commerce to-day adopted the following:
WHEREAS, The recent failures in this
city have demonstrated that our own State
laws i'll matters of assignment in bank
ruptcy are lamentably deficient in their
operations, enabling the bankrupt to dis
pose of his estate according to his own
volition by means OF preference to favored
creditors therefore,
Res0ired, That committee be appointed
to prepare and submit TO the Chamber
such amendments to the existing laws
which regulate assignments in bankruptcy
as will prohibit any and all preferences,
and which will place all creditors upon the
same basis in the distribution OF the assets
OF any bankrupt.
The action Of the Chamber is made ne
cessary, it seems, owing to the fact that
the woolen firm which recently failed in
this city for from $l,20O,OO0 TO 81 5000
made assignment with preferences Of over
$500 900

San FRANCIsco, October Letters now

low-fever in those unfortunate towns. One

the scourge in this city, out of an opera
company numbering thirty-one mem
bers, seventeen died, including the
prina donna, Peralta, in less than
three weeks Within two weeks
more only five of the original troupe were
left living. The medical men were all
sick; two of them died. The victims
were buried hastily and uncofiiEed. Three
hours is the usual interval between death
and burial. For the last week the deaths
have not averaged more than twenty a
day. The disease is, however, sweeping
interior towns like wildfre. The courts
are all closed, and the judges have fled
beyond the jurisdiction of Yellow Jack.
The spread of the disease is believed to be
largely due TO the ignorance displayed by
physicians rs to the character of the fever"
