families. On Sunday evening Col. James

Of the Western Anthracite Coal Company,
and his wife went out for short drive,
leaving at home their daughter Mary,
about II years old. On their return about
s 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 Z
o'clock at the front gate OF the family resi-
dence, No. 273 Morgan street, in
her home attire, and presenting no unusual
appearance. The detectives have been
working on her case since last night, and
every effort has been made by them, and
by the glrls father and friends, but nothing
yet has been heard OF her. She was a
quiet, grave girl, studious, devoted to mu.

Gov Foster Contident that th. Repubii'
can Ticket Will Win.


CLEVELAND, August Ex-Governor Fos-
ter spent short time in Cleveland during
the past week, and in conversation on the
political situation expressed himself very
much pleased with the outlook. He be-
lieves that Judge Foraker will be elected
Governor by at least 5000. He says that
the Scott law is standing the test OF time
and actual experiment in most satisiae-
tory manner, and that in the rural regions,
where its effect has already been felt in the
reduction Of taxes, no one is disposed to
have it repealed or amended. He candidly
said that although the result in October
wss, OF course, an uncertain quantity, he
was fully satisfied, from what he had seen
and heard in all quarters, that the Republi-
cans would carry the State.
No matter what may be said by the
Democratic press, Gov. Foster has really
carried out his declaration that 30 far as he
is concerned the Senatorial fight Is TO be
kept in the background, and not allowed
10 become bone of contention while the
State contest is in progress. Although he
Is to be a candidate for the Senate 10 case
the Republicans gain the Legislature, that
fact does not account for his presence In
the present compaign. Gov. Foster is a
true Republican, and understands how
much, in party sense, depends on carry.
ing the State this fall. When the programme
was being made up for this year, it was
the wish OF leading Republicans every
where that he should remain member
OF the State Executive Committee, so that
his splendid powers oil organization, his
great experience, his untiFing energy, and
bis personal acquaintance could be made
available for the good Of the cause. He
accepted a position on the committee, and
as such has tried to do bis duty. and to
give such time and attention to the canvass
as lay In his power. The Chairman OF the
State Central Committee, J.. o. Converse, is
an editor living in Ashtabula county, pos
sessing neither the desire nor experience
for active work, while the Chairman OF the
Executive Committee 10 not able TO alone
carry all the burdens OF the fight. In
this way the Governor has been led into
giving great personal strength to the work,
and has been able to do his party q great
service thereby. Judge Foraker has taken
hold nobly, and has done all that any man
could do, but in the present condition OF
affairs there is work enough for them all.
When the contest ios the Senatoiship does
open, Of course Gov. Poster will be can
didate. Ex.Gov. Noyes now seems likely
to become his chief opponent, although
Others will develop Il the conditions be-
come favorable. On the other side there
Is dawning idea that Mr.. Pendleton Is by
no means dead, but that in case the Demo-
crscy gain the General Assembly ne will
play his old game Of fattery and q grocery,
and give Payne, Bookvslter, and Others
hard struggle. Evidences OF his labor for
the nomination OF Pendleton candidates
have already been noted in various parts OF
the RtatA.

PORTSMOUTH, Va, August 2l.-A few
minutes before the departure OF the seven
o'clock Raleigh, N. c., express train this
evening, and while large number OF negro
excursionists were gathered at the depot, a
young man pushed his way through the
crowd, fiourishing revolver and in an ex-
cited manner called upon the people to get
out OF his way, and that he would kill the
first man who interfered with him; that his
iatner was on the train and he meant to
kill him.
His father was standing on the platform
OF the cars at the time and he began firing
on him, striking him in the thigh twice.
When questioned he said his name was 4.
D. sydes, living in Philadelphia, and had
sworn to kill his father, D. Sydes, for de-
serting and slandrring his mother. He
said he had followed bis father to New
York and thence to Norfolk. The father
says the trouble grew ont OF the dissipated
habits OF his son and his unsatisiied de-
mands for money. The wounded man was
dangerously hurt.

ThE Scott law exempts from taxation the

tative in Cleveland OF a Milwaukee brew
Ing company refuses to pay the tax. His
firm manufacturers from the raw material
in Milwaukee, he receives the product in
bulk, bottles and sells It in Ohio. The
Prosecuting Attorney held him liable. At

ane view, holding that 1t would not be
iSt or equitable to allow foreign dealers
greater privileges than home dealers, and
the representative Of the Milwaukee firm
comes into direct competition with Ohio
wholesalers, who pay their assessment in
good faith. But the Attorney.G General says
he is aware that another opinion is held by
Soot lawyers, and he thinks the point is
worth submitting to the courts. Home
dealers will be likely to agree with the At
Vorney General, that there should be no
discrimination in favor Of outsiders.

gineer knowing nothing OF the trouble

Powers, Of Chicago, President Of the Sea-
mems Union Of the Lakes. This union,
he said, had improved the moral condition
Of It's members; had secured them higher

passage OF laws tending to diminish the
rick 70 life incurred by lake sailors by pro.
hiblting overloaded vessels and making'it
compulsory to man them with suitable
