afterward directing the constable to detain her until friends could arrive. About two o'clock in the afternoon Charles Miller, 8 brother or the young lady, arrived from Philadelphia, and half an hour later another brother, Edward, arrived from New York to take care of her.
 Miss Miller belongs to one of the wealthiest families of Philadelphia, and since her dis appearance from her home, about week ago, her brothers and detectives from Pink erton's agency have been looking in vain for her in all directions. From her brothers it was learned that the young lady lost her reason several years ago. She was confined in the Frankford asylum for the insane near Philadelphia. About 8 fortnight ago the physicians at the asylum, thinking she was cured, sent her home, but week ago she disappeared It was learned that Miss Mil Ter left her home in Philadelphia on May 29. She came to New York by the Pennsylvania railroad. linen she went to Boston, did housework for her board, got tired of it and returned to New York on Thursday night with only fifty cents in her pocket. Not having enough to go to hotel she remained all night in the ladies' waiting room of the ferry house at the foot of Liberty street. In the morning she went to the ticket office of the New Jersey Central railroad and asked for ticket to go toward Philadelphia as far as fifty cents would take her. The ticket agent gave her ticket to Elizabeth She arrived at that place about ten o'clock on Friday morning and wandered around the city until nearly evening, when she started to walk to Philadelphia. About midnight she arrived at the door of Mime. Wellington More houses summer residence, which is situated about a mile from Westfeld. She knocked at the door and asked servant for shelter for the night. The servant mistook her for a tramp and told her to go sleep in the barn. Miss Miller refused to do this, and asked for blanket so that she might sleep in the hammock under the veranda. The servant went to get the blanket, but upon her return Miss Miller had gone. Later Miss Miller e. turned and passed the night in the hammock. At o'clock yesterday morning she started to walk to the telegraph office at Westfeld

Adventures of the Insane Daughter of Wealthy Philadelphia Family.

Adventures eff the Insane Daughter
 of . Wealthy Ph1ladelph1a Family.
 NEW YORK, June "A young lady tapped on the window of the telegraph office at the depot at Westfeld, N. J., yesterday morning. She was fine looking and handsomely dressed, but her clothing bore evidences of a long walk along the dusty roads. ''Will you send telegram for me to my mother in Philadelphiag' she earnestly asked of the operator. Certainly was the reply, as he adjusted his necktie, "have you written its'' eII have no money" stammered the young lady. "Well," replied the operator, with much surprise, 'fit is against our rules to send messages un- less they are prepaid. am very sorry, but can't do it." ''Oh, do not say that. I am lonely and tired I live in Philadelphia, and have not money enough to buy ticket to get home. Won't you send a message to my mother?' sCan't do it," positively replied the clerk. A groan escaped the young wo- mans lips and she seemed utterly in despair
 Suddenly an idea occurred to her. ''I will sweep the depot for you if you will only send a despatch to mother" she exclaimed, and anxiously awaited reply with her hands clutched upon the sill of the window.
 Something in her manner led the operator to believe that she was insane and he polite
 ly invited her to step into the ladies' waiting room until he could adjust his instrument to transmit the message. He at once sent for Constable J. M. 0. Marsh, and to the latter the young lady said that she was the daughter of Mrs. Ann Miller, who resides at No. 1909 Spruce street, Philadelphia. She said her name was Miss E. Spen- cer Miller and that she had been ab

MURDER AND SUICIDE. Tragic Remedy For the Habit of Rum
 Drinking.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June "A terrible tragedy occurred in this city just before noon yesterday in the outftting store of Philip D. Slocumb, No. IS South Water street. Slo- cumb was sitting at his desk in the counting room making an entry in his ledger when Charles Foss came from a back room, leaned moment against the railing divid- ing the counting room from the store, and, without speaking, drew 8 revolver and fired one shot, which entered Slocumb's head at the back of the skull, and he fell from the stool to the floor and died almost instantly. Immediately after this Foss went to the back room, and putting the muzzle of his pistol to his right temple, pulled the trigger and fell to the floor. The pistol was held so close that his forehead was singed and the bone fractured. There were two men and boy in the store at the time, but they did not at first realize what was done, so quickly had it passed. When they recovered from their astonishment and horror they at once sent for physicians, but Slo- cumb was already dead when they arrived. Foss died within few minutes after. Slo- cumb was about forty-6ve years old, and leaves widow and six children. Foss was forty years old, and has gone under the name of B. T. Sherburne. He belongs in New Hampshire, and has sailed rom tnls port on number of voyages. Slou- arde was trying to ship as cooper and carpenter on the bark Wave Foss was dissipated and had been under the influence of liquor during most of the time he has been here. He asked Slocumb when he came here to ship him to Hud- sons Bay, as he wanted to die if he could not be cured of. the curse of drinking, and he had asked Slocumb several times this forenoon if he was not going to ship him soon, but did not seem il-natured- It is not known that they ever had any trouble.

TARRED AND FEATHERED.

A The Summary Vengeance of a Mob
 Upon 8 Suspicious Character.
 MOLINE, H., June 7.-Henry Marrs is a spruce darkey about forty-fve years of age who has long been character in Moline on account of his eccentric habits. He always dresses in loud style and was prominent among the colored brethren in politics, reli- zion and society. He has made himself very objectionable to many citizens by his coarse ways and conspicuous manner, and it is said he has led life not noted for morality. He was acquitted in local court yesterday of the charge of criminal assault and indignation began to run high. Soon after midnight the fire bells were rung in different parts of the city and at this signal several hundred peo- pie were called to the street. Some fifty men and boys rushed to the quarters occupied by Marrs, made him captive and carried him to the street. Fearing lynching, he continued the widest bowling.
 The mob placed Mars in wagon and he was driven to the outskirts of the town where he was covered with tar and bag ot feathers was thrown over his head. He was treated very roughly and warned to leave the city,. Itis said the police witnessed the en- tire scenes and made no opposition. To-day Marrs is in town, but is confined to his room being badly used up. Violent threats are made of worse treatment to night unless the subject of popular wrath leaves the city. The crime with which he is charged is too revolt ing for newspaper detail.

HE LIVED BEYOND HIS MEANS. A Bank Teller Draws On The Bank

Bank Teller Draws On The Bank
 To Keep up Style.
 PROVIDENCE, R. l., June 7.-William T. Dorrance, the defaulting teller of the Provi- dence National bank, spent last night in a cell in the county jail. This morning he appeared broken down and penitent. He told friend that he wished no one to help him, but desired to pay the full penalty of his crime. After an examination the direc- tors to-day announced that the exact amount of the dedication is $34, 260. The first discrepancy found in the books dated back twelve years. The sums ranged from $3, 900 to $5 1000. The largest amount taken at one time was $10,000 few days ago, Two theories are advanced as to Dorrance's s method of operating. One is that he credited large depositors with smaller amount than their deposit, pocketing the difference, and when.they came to draw would take enough from some other depositor to make up the difference, keeping up the operation year after year. The other theory is that on the day of drawing he would go out and borrow money on the banks credit, making it good when the next big deposit was made. It is generally accepted that his stealings were not due to vices of any kind, but that he lived beyond his means. His income was $2,4O0 year, yet he lived in an $500 house and contributed largely to the support of his father and two maiden sisters, besides supporting his wife and son. It is said that Dorrance confessed to Colonel Goddard, president of the bank, that he spent S, ,600 year for twelve years and he did not know where the money had gone to-. Members of the Union club, of which he was treasurer, say that he is the last person in the world they would suspect of being de faulter as alleged. He was abstemious, used no tobacco did not gamble, was never known to drink glass of intoxicating liquor, kept no horses and did not appear tolt7e extrava- gantly. His downfall comes like thunder bolt to every member of the club Dor rance's preliminary trial will occur Wednes- day.

A REGULAR DEATH TRAP. The Shaky old Court House at Ch1-

CHICAGO, June 7.-Rough railings have been built around the court house to prevent people from passing in and out. The fen ders are built around the space in which the large stone fell from the upper portion of the building few nights ago. It was the in- tention of the court house committee of the county board to set to work at once to put the crumbling building in repair, but since the defeat of the million dollar appropriation the commissioners declare that as they have no money with which to do the work per sons entering the court house do so at their own risk. The crevices and the joints of the stone work about the corners of the building are widening from day to day and unless something is done to brace up these sections speedily they will tumble down before many months.
