MARY CHURCHILL.

Heard From at Last-After Ten Weeks of
Suspense, a Brief Note Received by Her
Parents in Miss ChurchiIrs Own Hand
writing-The Mystery of Her Disappear
Still Unsolved.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 80.
After ten weeks of suspense and worry
the parents of Mary Churchill have at last
received tidings of their missing daughter.
These tidings came in the form of letter
from herself. Her whereabouts are still
unknown and she makes no statements
whatever regarding the manner in which
she slipped away. According to her letter
she has neither eloped nor gone on the
stage, but is making an honest living for
herself.
Yesterday morning Colonel Churchill was
down at his office. as usual, attending to
business, and about $50 the mail-carrier
entered and handed one of the clerks in the
office batch of letters. He passed them to
Colonel Churchill. As the latter's eve
rested on one of the missives he started
suddenly, for on the envelope he recognized
the penmanship of his missing child. Quick
ly clipping the end of the envelope with
pair of shears he pulled out the letter and
in state of considerable excitement read
it. 1t was signed by his daughter and she
addressed him as "My Father" and the
handwriting was hers beyond all doubt. In
the afternoon Col. Churchill sent the fol-
towing card to the various newspaper
Offices for publication:
To THE PUBLIC-After suspense Of three
months am this morning in receipt of a
letter from my daughter, Mary Churchill,
mailed from distant city. AS the press all
over the country have accorded me every
facility within their power, and in many
cases at great expense, in my search, not.
withstanding the injunction imposed by my
daughter to withhold from publication the
contents of this letter, a sense of duty which
| owe to my many friends impels me to at
least give its purport, which herewith at
bach:
OCTOBER %, 1885,
MY FATHER-I write to let you know am
alive and well; am not on the stage, as you
supposed, nor have l eloped. Oil how could
you think so, when / care so little for gentle
men society. i am earning my own living
honestly. Teach my little sisters and darling
little brother to think kindly of their sister,
MARY.
ST. LOUIS, Oct %, 1885,
JAS. o. CHURCHILL.
The letter also states that "This letter
will be mailed from Indianapolis,
think" and closes with the sentence,
"God bless you all" In post
script she says: "The only request have
to make is that this letter'be not given to
the newspapers" She assigns no reason
for leaving home.

RICHMOND, IND, Oct. so.
J. A. German, Sheriff, returned from

ring in which the name of Zura Burns had
been engraved, but was nearly erased by
wear. 1t was bought last Friday by q
Cambridge City jeweler named Charles NJ
Bailey, together with one or two others and
some coin relics, including a quarter which
had been made into breastpin, with three
links engraved on its face. The ring was
fat and thin, and had been cut, and the
name was so indistinct that the jeweler
did not notice it for day or so, when be
was furnishing it. So little was thought
Of the transaction that the jeweler took no
particular notice of the seller, yet he re-.
members him as about five feet eight inches
high, with dark hair and mustache, well
dressed and fine looking, aged probably
thirty-three. He was accompanied by an.
other of like age, wearing light overcoat,
but of him the jeweler took no notice at all.

by Telegraph TO The Dispatch


WASHINGTON, June Until the return
OF Secretary Chandler 10 further action
will be taken relative to the charges pre-
ferred by eX-Represcntative Dezendorf OF
violations Of the law and of the regulations
of the Norfolk navy-yard. Although the
Board have reported that no violations Of
law or regulations were found to have eX-
isted between the dates specified by Mr..
DeZendorf. il is understood that the Secrc-
tary is not satisfied a TO the thorOughness
OF the investigation, and that he will order
another board, to be composed OF officers Of
the navy other than those attached TO the
Norfolk yard.
Admiral Nichols, chief OF the Bureau OF
Yards and Docks, i'm a communication to
Secretary Chandler, suggests that "the
limitation Of the inquiry between the dates
OF May 1St and 18th does not meet the re-
quiremcn;s OF the order Of May 18th to
make "a thorough and exhaustive inyesti-
CATION" lie also says: "Neithcr do |
think sufficient notice was given Mr.. De-
zendorf TO present any charges"
An officer OF the Navy Department stated
to-day that the seaworthness OF the Pinta
was il matter upon which naval officers
seemed to differ in opinion; that some had
expressed doubts OF her seaworhinesS,
while others-and among them Captain
MGade-belieyed her perfectly seaworthy
and well adapted TO the special service for
which she las been fitted out.

n Huntsville, Ala. telegram saws: 4
fearful encounter took place on an East
Tennessee passenger train. While passing
through this place n passenger named
Lawrence, from Randolph, was in an in
toNicated condition. He was approached
by Conductor f. l.. Nelson, who asked
Tor Lawrence's ticket or fare. Without
further proyocation the maddened man
laid one hand on the conductors shoulder,
and rs he laughed said: You don't want
any fare from me, do you!" He then
drew knife across the astonishcd train
officials neck. Conductor Nelson was ter
ribiy wounded, but had strength and cou-
rage to draw his pistol. Lawrence with
drew along the aisle, and did the same
thing. Both began firing at each other,
and kept IL up until their weapons were
empticd. Ten shots were fired. The train
was running rapidly. and the jostling was
such that the aim of neither availed any
thing. Not one Of the passengers was hit by
one OF many random balls. Engineer SUIT
ton was apprizcd by the ringing OF his bell
that something was wrong. Stopping his
train. he came back 10 the passengor-car.
Conductor Nelson was then such sight 10
behold reeking with HIS own blood, that
Mr.. Sutton tainted. Fortunately for the
wounded man dOwn-freight train was
met at huntsville, and he was brought
back. DR.. {. y. Clark was summoned. and
did all in his power for the injured man.
II is not thought that he is dangerously
hurt
