CHARMED By HIS EVIL EYE.
The Weird Story Told by a st. Louis ca
TO Account for Her Escapade.


20 Account for Her Escapade.
ST. LOUIS, Oct 30.-Some explanation
for the mysterious disappearance OF st.
Louis girls is provided in the story told by
Aurelia Larieux, the young woman who was
taken from this city to Boston by design
ing sewing machine agent, who evidently
possesses q chemical secret of the most dia-
bolical nature. Aurella says that her jaunt
with Hurd (alias Linseott) was altogether
involuntary on her part. She believed at
first that his power over her was caused by
q subtitle power lying in his eyes, and by the
aid of which he claims to be able to control
the will of any woman. She Is now certain
that she was made the victim of an extraor-
dinary drug.
She states that on the morning of the day
she disappeared Hurd gave her glass OF
beer, which caused strange feeling to
come over her. At noon she went home ia
dinner, but had no appetite, and the next
thing she knew she was with Hurd In New
York city. She demanded an explanation,
but 1t was not until they reached Boston
that he explained that he was spiritualist
and could force anybody to follow him by
the charm of his eyes. Aurelia acknowledge
the spiritual force of the charm and re
mained with Hurd, who took her with hin
| TO one or two places and finally married hei
| by force, after he had obtained a divorce
from his wife in Lowell, Mass.
The young lady says that he never gave
her cent all the time she was away, and
that she prayed night and day for release
She would not explain, however, what
means Hurd took to force her, and the pecu
liar symptoms attending the action of thu
mysterious drug which enables young
woman to eat her dinner and then enslayl
her mind during journey between here an.
New York. Altogether 1t is wonderful case
which may supply the key to the man,
mysterious departures of young ladies from
this city of late.

Is This n Joke /?

The citizens of Wilmington have been
struck all of neap by the mortifying dis
coyery that the new Astor yacht which is
now building at that place is to have no
more powers of speed than an ordinary fer
ry boat. The Gould yacht is good for Is or
20 knots an hour, while Astor is said to be
content with maximum speed of IA. The
Wilmington people shouldn't take the mat
ter TO heart so. If Mr. Astor prefers that
his yacht should be representative of the
slower accumulation Of the Astor fortune
that is his lookout. II he had wanted really
fast yacht he would doubtless have given
the contract to Phlladelphians, who build
that kind.
