Personal Gossip,

The body of DR.. Watson's father was found
in the river at Worden's ferry, fifteen miles
below Dubuque, thereby clearing up the mys-
terry of this strange disappearance. He was
ninety years of age, and wandered from his
sons house on July 30 in an alteration of
mind. Whether he committed suicide or was
drowned accidentally the coroner's jury has
failed as yet to ascertain.
The reception to Gen. Rea, grand COM
mander of the G.. A r., at Aberdeen, D. T., was
a most enthusiastic and successful event.
Features of the day were a grand procession
participated in by visiting posts and local
organizations and public exercises in the after
noon at the ball park. Fully thousand
people, including many Grand Army men,
were present to hear Gen. Rea's address
While Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt was riding
in her Victoria on Bellevue avenue New ork,
her carriage was run into by dog cart and
she was thrown out. She was taken into the
cottage of John Jacob Astor, opposite, and
then taken home in another carriage, her
own being demolished. The horses ran into
Mr.. Astor's grounds, and were narrowly
saved from jumping from the cliffs Physi-
clans remained with Mrs. Vanderbilt all the
evening 1t is impossible to ascertain the
full extent of her injuries. It is feared she is
badly hurt

The facts in the case of Larry Donovan,
the bridge jumper as they gradually become
known, are exciting great deal Of sympa-
thy in London. On the Saturday previous
to his death Donovan got into a drunken
quarrel and in the fight which ensned had
both his eyes blackened and his body badly
bruised. He continued his spree until Tues
day morning, meanwhile visiting the vilest
resorts and Dragging about his daring feats.
Finally he accepted challenge to jump from
Hungerford bridge for $40, with the stipula-
ton that should he fail to perform the feat
without injury to himself he should receive
nothing. He removed nothing but his coat
and hurriedly leaped from the footpath into
the water, which he struck on his side or
stomach. He Immediately sank and was
seen no more until his body was picked up at
Deptford. No boat was provided for his as
sistance or rescue, and his companions dis
appeared as soon as they discovered that
the jumper was beyond the reach of help.

Murder and Suicide,

"A horrible shooting affair took place at
Minneapolis at a lodging house kept by Mrs
Harris. One evening a young man applied
Tor room for himself and his wife, who, he
said, was to arrive on a train. About mid
night pistol shots were heard in their room.
Alter an alarm policeman put his shoulder
to the door and burst into the room. On
the bed, as if asleep was q young man On
the foor, lying on her left side, with her left
arm under her head, was q woman. Areyolyer
within a few inches of her right hand and
the trickling blood from a wound back of her
right ear, told the story in an instant. She
was unconscious, but her heavy breathing
told that she was still alive Not SO with her
companion. He was dead bullet wound
IN the left temple told the tale The
identify of the actors in this horrible
tragedy was revealed by a young man
who appeared to have been a companion of
the pair, and who said the man was james
Seaman, a gambler, and the woman Pearl vii
son, who has until q few weeks ago kept
bagnio at 439 Jackson street, ST. Paul
As to the cause of the murder, it is ap-
parent that Pearl shot Seaman and that
too, when he was asleep. There is every in
dlcatlon that his death was instantaneous
With pint bottle of whisky half emptiec
and several bottles of beer, it would appear
that the two had been on debauch. but
their conduct aud appearance did not go to
show that. Neither was there any occasion
for Jealousy. Without doubt, the woman
is insane, or at least was when she fired the
shots.

A Carnival OF Crime.

The city of Shenandoah, Iowa, has been in
an uproar OF excitement. On Friday night
Frank Phillips, drayman, who had as
sauited the six-year-old daughter of E. j.
Pine, prominent merchant, was taken from
the Jail by q mob OF masked men, who bat
desperately, but his clothes were soon
stripped off, and he was thoroughly tarred
| and feathered. He fell senseless to
the ground, in which condition he was
found by the sheriff, whose appearance
with a posse put the mob to fight. The
man was carried back to the jail and
physicians summoned. While they were en-
gagged IN removing the tar the Jail was
again surrounded. The sheriff surrendered
Phillips without struggle. The mob dragged
him to the street, his hands and feet were
plnloned to lamp post and the lash APP
| Piled until the blood came He uttered fear
| ful cries. When the mob got tired of whip
ping the prisoner they threw a rope around
his neck, dragged him to telegraph pole
and hauled him into the air several times
He was then in a half dead condition, and
upon his promise to leave town was released.
The next night Mr.. Pine was shot and in
stantly killed by Frank Gallop, desperate.
Gallop escaped to his house in the outskirts
OF the city where he was surrounded by
officers. The house was dark. The windows
were all closed and securely fastened and the
doors were strongly barricaded. While the
officers were attempting to effect an en-
trance Gallop opened fire on the crowd from
an upper window. Two of the officers
were killed and several wounded. Gallon

piled with ammunition. The militia we're

succeeded in capturing Gallop and iynching
him by hanging him to tree

Although the return of Encke's
comet, a very small and inconspicu-
Gus body, is ONO personal interest
to local astronomers because it will
only be visible in the southern hemi-
sphere, it will prove interesting as
again confirming Encke's discovery
that it moved in a fixed orbit about
the sun. One reason which causes
it's return to be heralded all over the
world on it's discovery at the far
away station at the Cape of Good
Hope, is it's irregular habits. It's
period of return seems to be acceler-
ated on each period OF return. which
leads astronomers to believe thai it
will finally fall into and be absorbed
by the sun, if it is not sooner inter
fered with by some other attracting
body.
