An Affair of the Heart That has just
Been Brought to Light.

Been Brought to Light.
During the year 1880 Newman, under
the name of Dallas NJ DE Hughes, who
has been brought to prominence with
Mrs. Kate Smith, was, says the World, a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and had a commission to preach
near Camden n. J. In August of that
year he disappeared. A note from him
addressed to one of his Pensioners and
his hat were found on a Philadelphia
and Camden ferry. boat, and ms the hat
had his name in it and the note stated
that he was going TO commit suicide, as
his " troubles were more than he could
bear" it was taken for granted he had
done so.
De Hughes wife had brother who
was manager of the Prudential Life Insur-
ance Company's office in Philadelphia.
In that office there was employed pre-
possessing young woman, who disap-
peared simultaneously with the minister.
1t had been noticed that on the occasion
of his calls on his brother-in-law, De
Hughes took an interest in this young
woman. The coincidence Of their dis
appearance caused comment, but there
were no facts discovered to warrant con-
GLIDING that they had eloped.
During the summer of 1881, howexer-
the young woman in the case returned TO
Philadelphia and confessed that she had
run away with De Hughes, and said they
had lived in st. Louis, where he practised
law She said he had deserted her, pre-
sumably for another woman. On hear
ing these reports the conference, in
March, 1882. expelled De Hughes. Moth
ing more was heard of the clerical fraud
until his arrest in Washington. His wife
when last heard from was living in Gin
nimnson, n. j., and was in very poor
health.
De Hughes is man about forty years
of age, Of medium build, round face, and
In complexion compromise between
light and dark. When in New Jersey he
wore full chin beard,

gether young Rowe asked Miss Logsden to
name a day for their wedding She replied
that she would do SO when he took his last
drink OF liquor. Rowe said lie had done so
and would prove it then and there. He

volver from his pocket, and before any one
could reach him sent bullet through his

Lucas said nor did nothing. She placed

Jimmy, don't have any fuss" He re-.

JUSTICE HANNEN's PROBABLE RE-
TIREMFNT
Gable Flashes

LONDON, November l6.-lt ia believed
that the III temper shown by presiding
Justice Iianuen at the sessions OF The
Parnell Commission Is a sign that the
eminent jurist is physically breaking
down. He suffers from an internal
trouble which may turn out 10 be cancer,
and his friedds are urging him to retire
from the Commission to avert, If possible,
a complete collapse. His retirement
would probably necessitale going over
the whole ground already trayersed in
the testimony, and even this could not be
done until Parliament had provided for
a new commission The total delay
would doubtless amount 10 year.
Though Justice Hannen is severe and
grabbed and strongly conservative In his
predilectlous. bis desire to be fair in his
judicial ruling predominaie every other
characteristic. and the Parnelltes are so
well convinced of this that they would
regret TO see him retiie, as there is hardly
a Judge likely TO succeed him OF whose
impsrtiality they would feel so satisfied.
The subject of an appeal in a formal shape
to America for funds Is being debated by
the Parnellites. The fund from British
sources increases but slowly, and the
corridors of the courts where the COM
mission sits are daily swarmed with de-
tectyes from whose vigilance IL Is in
ferred that the police suspect the exist
ence cf q dynamite plot, There Is ptoba-
bly no better ground for the sisnls,Qp.

average English police official dynamite

cisted. ,
