Lost on Bald Mountain.

WILKEsBARRE, Sept. "A horrible
tale of suffering and privatlon has just
come to light here. Last Friday Il
week John Connors, II young man en-
ployed as a miner at Plymouth, started
out on spree, which was his custom
every month, and continued to drink
until Tuesday last, when he was seized
with delirium tremens. He wandered
away from his companions and nothing
was heard of him until yesterday after
noon, when he was discovered on Bald
Mountain, a lonely spot ten miles from
here, inhabited principally by bears aud
snakes. A little daughter of Jacob
Knecht, farmer, who resides near the
mountain, heard strange cries on We'd
nesday night and told her father that
they Dust be those of Il man lost in the
woods. The father placed but little re-
lance in the girls story, thinking that
the noise she heard was made by Il
bear. Nothing more was thought of
the matter until Thursday night, when
the whole family was awakened by the
most heartrending cries. The sound
came from the eastward. That it was
the appeal of a human being in distress
there was no longer any doubt, and at
the suggestion of Mrs. Knecht the hus-
band and two sons arose flom their
beds, and, procuring lamps, went out
TO make a search.
At the base Of the mountain and but
one mile from the house horrible spec
tacle presented itself. Among the
brier bushes, the home of the black
snake, was found the nude form OF a
man in the last stages of starvation and
slowly dying. His body, from head to
foot, was covered with sores AID he
was barely able to speak. He was car
ried to Mr.. Knecht's house and this
morning brought to the hospital. The
physicians are hopeful that with proper
care he may recover. The supposition
is that the unfortunate man found his
way into the woods and, becoming lost,
roamed around in all directions, amidst
biier brushes and rocky ledges, until all
the clothes were torn from his body.
He was on the mountain fonr days and
during that time ate nothing but few
berries.

ALBANY, n. Y, Sept. 6.-President

clock this afternoon, leaving for WASH
ington Immediately afterward, accom-

GOVERNOR HoADLY's SPEECH

Governor Hoadly opened the Ohio
campaign on Saturday. The Repub-
ican side had been opened previously
by Senator Sherman and Judge For
aker and the Democratic keynote had
been struck by Congressman Hill, but
there is always interest in what Gov
ernor Hoadly says, because it is well
said, and this year his voice borrows
potency for the reason that his ad-
ministration is on trial and he is him
self the leading advocate in the cause.
In his speech on Saturday, Govern
or Hoadly spent considerable time in
answering the speeches of Senator
Sherman and his competitor Judge
Foraker. Those gentlemen having
waved the bloody shirt until it was
torn into tatters, Mr.. Hoadly turned
his attention to tearing them up, and
he succeeded most admirably. He
pointed out to his auditors the folly
of discussing war issues twenty years
after the war, and presented his case
with such force as to make Sherman's
Ltterances Iudicrous.
Governor Hoadly ftly referred to
the deaths of Lincoln and Grant with
words upon their lips and feelings in
their hearts of charity to all, malice
toward none, us the burial of strife
between the sections, but he did not
rest with that annihilation of the
bloody-shirt issue as a sufficient
ground to enlist the support of the
people. He discussed the Lying is
sues of the contest with that ability
and congency for which he is famous,
and proved that the Democratic party
had kept its faith with the people and
was entitled to public endorsement. It
was q great effort and leaves no room
to doubt the success of the party in
the State. Patriot.

THE HAT TRADE BOOMING

READING, Sept. 4.-The hat trade in
this district is better now than it has
been for years. Nearly all the factories
are working full-handed in all depart
ments. The demand is greater than
for number Of seasons. and the fac
tories that manufacture ladies hats are
pressed to their utmost capacity. These
hats are all being made on orders, and
the brisk trade will continue for about
two months more.

THE names of over 500 persons who
are either dead, or out ofthe country,
were found on the pension list of the
Chicago agency in the late examina-
tion of that Office. Those names ap-
pear regularly every three months on
the pension lists as being entitled to
pensions. Still everything was cor
rect to the cent at the Washington
settlement. Strange.

Frightened to Death.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. Sept. 3.-Mrs.
Nathaniel S. Northup, an estimable
lady 46 years of age. whose husband is
division master of the Pawtucket Val
ley Branch of the New York, Provi-
dence and Boston Railroad, was'fright-
ened to death last evening in Natick,
by a party of boys. With two other
ladies she was proceeding along road
when the boys came upon them sudden
ly and at q run. Thinking that they
were about to be assaulted by tramps
or roughs the women fled. Mrs. North
up was seized with spasms. and died
while being conveyed to her home.

THE war-cloud is hanging over
Spain and Germany. The Caroline
Islands are the bone of contention.
Germany thinks Spain has no righ t
to them and demands satisfactory
proof to the contrary, before it will
keep quiet. A German gunboat in
truded upon Spanish waters recently
and the Spaniards were very indig-
nant and mad over this seeming impu-
dence of q German naval officer. A
mob i'm Madrid shouted themselves
hoarse ON the streets calling emperor
William, the Crown Prince and Bis
mark the vilest names, attacked the
German embassy, destroyed the coat
ot-arms and behaved badly in gener-
al. Germany wants a satisfactory a
pology for the events of that night, or
else fight. Spain's position in the
quarrel is by no means peaceful one
and Indications clearly point to war
between the two nations, in which
others may take u hand, when the
bail commences.

Divided Into Four Wards.

At an adjourned meeting of the City
Council last Friday evening, held in
the City Hall, the city of Abilene was
divided into four wards.
The First Ward includes all that
portion of the city south of the Union
Pacific railway. Its population is S33
persons.
The Second Ward includes all that
portion of the city north of the Union
Pacific railway west of Broadway and
south of North Seventh street. Its
population is loss persons.
The Third Ward includes all that
portion of the city north of the Union
Pacific railway east of Broadway and
south of North Seventh street. Its
population is 1011 persons.
The Fourth Ward includes all that
portion Of the city north of North
Seventh street. Its population is 774
persons.
Such a division of the city should
give general satisfaction. 1t is the
fairest and best that can be made.
The North and South wards hold each
other about level, while the East and
West wards are evenly balanced. The
school house is in the North ward, but
that makes no difference. The Other
wards can use it Just the same as be.
fore. A new school house should be
built on the south side, and it i:
probable that the entire school district
will be taxed to build it, as was intend
ed before Abilene was organized as /:
city of the second class. There need bc
no trouble and no extra expense con
nected with the school question.

The Topeka Democratic Flambeau
Club have made arrangements to 60 to
Washington to participate in the in
auguration exercises on March 4th. 1t
is the desire to have the Kansas delega-
tiOngo with them. They claim that they
are able to offer better rates and ac-
commodatiOns than can be secured else
where. They have already secured a
full brass band and reduced rates for
meals on the trip. Mr.. y. q. Buch-
anan. of this city, has a full knowledge
of particulars, and those who intend
going from Abilene or surrounding
country to Washington should commu-
nicate with him. This is undoubtedly
a capital chance to secure a cheap and
comfortable trip.

The Abilene poet who sent to the
Salina Journal along 'pOme' beginning,


Salina Journal long ''pOme" beginning,
''She was rare
She fair
She was fond
As the angels of the air,
or the lilies of the pOnd;
showed remarkable and commenda-
bic Judgment. Even in the midst of
his divine frenzy he knew that it would
never do to publish his genius to a
home audience. "a prophet is not
without honor save in his own cOun-
try" The same may be said of poet.
But it may be that our Abilene poet
hath method in his madness. He may
be laboring under the impression that
Salina is formidable rival of Abilene,
(which of course is absurd and impOsSi
ble) and he wants to destroy her happi-
ness and prosperity. But editor Samp-
son is SO Obtuse and unappreciative
that he writes: 1.-The poetry we firmly
but respectfully refer to the dusty
archives of our Office-tO be reviewed
when the weather grows warmer"
Readers of Wide-Awake, that charming freside
magazine published in Boston by LathrOp d Co.
have read with pleasure an Illustrated series of
the Christmas number. They will probably con-
tinue through the year, each poem portraying the
characteristics of the month in which it is pub
lished. The initials of the author. IN. E. b. ap-
pear at the head of each poem, and many Creston
people will recognize in them the handwriting of
Mrs. NJ. L. Bowman. formerly librarian in this
city. The many friends in CrestOn of this talent
ed lady will be gratified TO learn of her literary
success.
We clip the above from the CrestOn,
+ho of
saying that Mrs. Bowman disclaims any
connection whatever with the poems
spoken of by our esteemed contempOr-
airy. 1t is noticeable that Mrs. Bow
mans CreStOn friends think so highly
of her that they are willing to change
one of her initials to suit the eXigencieS
of the occasion. Her initials are NJ. NJ,
and not NJ. E. And while the poems
in the IIide-1lCake may be of great mer-
it they must be, or else Mrs. Bowman
would never be accused of their author
ship we are yet impelled to observe
that the proprietor Of our Broadway
Book Store would not think of desert
ing publications of such high artistic,
literary and poetic ability as the Cen
t,ug magazine and REFLECTOR for the
ordinary Wide-AaCake. Really, we are
almost tempted to be out of patience
with these CrestOn people. They should
keep abreast of the times. They should
be ''gratifed to learn that Mrs. Bow
man, their refined and cultured friend,
has long since progressed beyond the
pages of an amatuer magazine such as
the Wide-A,Cake, and now finds her
greatest ctualrefreshment in con-
tributing articles of much merit and
excellence to the great moral and re-
ligious weekly, otherwise known as the
Abilene REFLECTOR.
