KIDNAPPED BY cYPSIEs.
TWO Children Stolen from the City of
Columbus. Ohio.

COLUMBUS, o., July 12.-Mr. George Car
son, living at the corner of Mt. Vernon ave
nue. and Twentieth street, returned home
yesterday after years absence in search
of his little son and daughter, who were kid
mapped by gypsies The children were sent
one day last summer to butchers shop a
few blocks from their home here, and did not
remembered seeing boy and girl in the gyp
sey encampment just outside the city Mr..
Carson began the pursuit of this band in
company with a detective. They learned
that the abductors had gone south, and time
and again they were hot on their trail. Fl
nally, Mr.. Carson sent the detective home,
and continued his weary and apparently
this year, while at Nashville, he learned that
a portion of the band were at COyington,
Tenn. He at once went to that place, and
on July he entered their camp and almost
the first person he saw was his son, engaged
in gathering firewood. The little fellow,
when he saw his father, dropped everything
and ran into his arm His captors were in
clined to offer resistance to the intruder, but
emphatic words and the display of revolv-
lost their captive, they told the father where
he would find the other band and his daugh-
ter, who were then camped near Lagrange,
Tenn. On July he found his little girl but
she was sadly changed. The gypsies had
darkened her skin and died her hair, letting
it hang long and straight. A scar had also
been branded on her neck; in fact every
thing was done to destroy her identity. Here
Mr.. Carson met with resistance, being driv-
en- out of the camp; but he returned with
aid from Lagrange, and the little girl was at
once given up. Mr. Carson went on to Mem
phis, where he telegraphed the news home,
and took passage on the steamer Gail.

ANOTHER NATURAL WONDER.
The Experience of an Alabama Ex-
nIorine Party in a Cave.

New YORK, July ia despatch from
Chulafnee, Ala, says: "a party of North
ernerS, who have been prospecting for min
erals in this neighborhood for some time ar
rived here this morning from Riddlesbride,
on the TallapooSa River. They report the
finding by them of a remarkable cave near
there, and give a graphic account of their
meeting with the inhabitants of the cave.
The entrance to the cave is near the head of
a small ravine, about one mile from the Tai
lapoosa riyer and is barely large enough for
one person to enter at a time The party en-
tered the cave at about p. m. and spent two
hours exploring it. The cave is about 400
feet in length, varying in width from 10 to 60
feet, with an average height of 10 feet, and
is dimly lighted throughout by small assures
in the rocks, extending from the roof to the
ground above When the explorers were
about to leave the cave, they were terrified at
finding the exit blocked by q writhing mass
of big rattlesnakes. The noise made by the
party had doubtless reused the snakes from
their hiding places among the rocks, and
they had gathered in large numbers near the
entrance. Deemlng discretion the better
part of valor, the party retreated to that part
of the cave most remote from the entrance to
wait for the snakes to return to their hiding
places. The explorers were compelled to re-
main in the cave until morning. After dark,
one of the party strucka match to light a
cigar, and after lighting it, threw the still
burning match on the bottom of the cave.
He was startled at seeing bright flame flash
up from the rocks where the match had fall
en- which rose to the height of four feet,
burned brightly all night, and was still burn
ing when they left the cave this morning. A
small fssure could be seen in the rocks be-
meath the flame, and the suppoSition is that
volume of natural gas was escaping through
this fissure. Daylight came at last, to the
great relief of the explorers, the entire party
having remained awake all night Going for

seekIng to Revive Amerlcan shlpning.

New YORK, July 13.-At meeting of the
Maritime Exchange today number of COM
munications from various commercial organ
izations were submitted in response to the
memorial adopted by the exchange recon-
mending a subsidy as a means to revive
American shipping. The New York Board
of Trade favored the plan, and the Charles
ton Exchange opposed it; the San Francisco
Board Of Trade, Chamber of Commerce and
Manufacturers Association referred to their
joint report recommending Congress to pro-
vide a bounty to builders of iron and steel
vessels in the foreign and Pacific trade, to
take provision for carrying ocean mails in
American built steamers, establish per-
manent bureau Of commerce like the British
board Of trade, to enact an apprentice sys-
tenn, and to build 25 steel war steamers for
the navy. The Boston Manufacturers AS
sociation also approved the plan The Min
neapolis board was not satisfied that subsi-
dies would accomplish the object; the Mo-
bile Cotton Exchange believed the best plan
to be the admission free of duty of all ship
building material.

Freeport High School.

The first biennial reunion and reception OF
the class of 'S3 was held at the town hall.
Freeport, ON Saturday evening Of last week,
in company with over one hundred invited
guests. The hall was appropriately decor
ated with Chinese lanterns, etc, and the
Yarmouth orchestra furnished excellent
music The exercises consisted of an ad-
dress of welcome by Mr.. W. E. Sargent,
principal of the school, class history by Miss
Mary E. Mitchell, class grafton by Mr.. Edwin
S. Merrill and poem by Mr.. Daniel p. Dyer.
The various parts were well received,
especially the Grafton and poem, while the
history took more of class nature, though
interesting. After the literary exercises
came the refreshments of ice cream and
cake, then amusements of a more social
nature. The enjoyment of the evening
seemed to be shared alike by both class and
guests. By those present it win long be re-
membered, though it was the first attempt
by any class to have a combined reunion and
reception. 1t is to be hoped other classes
will follow suit in these pleasant gatherings,
and thus a feeling of interest in the institu-
ton be developed into an influence that the
formation of an alumni can but perpetuate
and enlarge. About 70 regular graduates
are now in various parts of the United

CAPSIZED IN A GALE.
More About the Sad Disaster Near
Minneapolis, MINI.
Only Three of the Ten Bodies Thus
Far Recovered.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 13.-Brief de-
Spatches were sent out yesterday announcing
the terrible storm which ragged at Lake Min
netonka, few miles from here, yesterday,
and the drowning of a party of tourists from
this city by the capsizing of the yacht Minnie
Cook. The first evidence of disaster from
the storm was found in pieces of trimming
from the Minnie Cook, which floated in on
the waves at the east shore of Waywatta
bay. Large, sturdy boats went in search of
the ill-fated craft, but no further trace of her
could be had. 1t was at last determined that
she had sunk, and that the ten passengers,

succeeded in weathering the tornado in a
yawl, appeared on the Waywatta bay beach,
dragging his miniature craft after him.
When he had recovered sufficiently from his
fright and exhaustion to speak coherently
he told of having passed the Minnie Cook
just before the squall struck the bay. Soon
afterward he heard shrek like that of a
woman in acute distress, and looking off
through the almost binding mist to the spot
where the yacht was a moment before float
ing, nothing was to be seen but the white
caps and the waves rolling mountain high
He is sure that the shrek he heard was that
of Mrs. Rand, and that the Minnie Cook at
that instant capsized. For safety he fell into
the bottom of his yawl, and there clung
