A LOAG-LOST DAUGHTER
To Get a Share Of Her Fathers
Wealth.
AFTER YEARS OF DRUDGERY.
The Strange Story of the Desertion Of
a Wife and Child Back
in 81.

Boston, May 13.-The Globe has the
following story: In 1862 one DR.. Au-
gustus Franklin came to Nantucket,
and soon became leading light in So
ciety, gaining the confidence and es-
TEEN OF all who knew him. Finally he
began to pay marked attentions to a
young lady who was handsome and
well-to-do. He was accepted, the
bridal preparations were made, the
day was set, but the doc
tor suddenly appeared i'll at ease. He
sent word to his betrothed that the the
wedding could never take place, and
before the people of Nantucket could
recover from their surprise he sold out
his lucrative business and left Nan
tucket. Sixteen months later he re-
turned, and, attached to his card in
forming the public of his return
to practice, was the announce
ment that he would resume the
family name of Franklin Augustus
Ellis" This change of name created
sensation, but his business increased
and he continued to make money. He
had. however, become addicted to the
use OF morphine. So firm "a hold had
the habit taken upon him that he died
from its effect in Worcester, Nav pa.
1884. His remains now lie in the ceme-
terry there. He left will by which
THREE SISTERS
were bequeathed some $4,000. The at
tOrney for the sisters. George II. New
ton, of MOnSon, who visited California
last October, chanced to meet E. NJ.
Cleveland. a former acquaintance of Ell
lis, who told the attorney. greatly to his
surprise. that the doctor had been mar
ried in 1860 to one Martha Pity, daugh-
ter OF. wealthy widow, of Saylesville,
Ala, by whom it was aScertained he
had one daughter: also that on MAY 5,
1861, the doctor had suddenly desertedhis
wife and her mother, taking with him
the proceeds of the sale of the latters
plantation. some $1,000, and had never
afterwards been seen by them. Mr..
Newton secured the assistance of o. Z.
Hall, of Collinsville, Ala, who in Janu-
ary last succeeded in tracing the long
lost daughter to one of the "moonshin-
ing" districts of Tennessee. She was
scantily clothed and her appearance
indicated that she had been SUBJ
iected to all the drudgery that could be
imposed upon her, and that she had
practically been the slave of an old
eccentric '.moonshiner," although her
character was above suspicion. She told
Mr.. Hall that her mother had been dead
about eleven years. She was brought
to Collinsville, where she was at once
identified by her aunt on account of her
striking resemblance to her mother.
The clergyman who married DIR. Ellis
and several witnesses of the marriage
have been found, and steps will be

MAGNIFICENT, BUT COSTLY.
lightning Starts a Big Blaze in
Pennsylvania Oil Tanks.

OIL CITY, Pa, May 13.-Yesterday
afternoon lightning struck 2O.O00-bar-
rel tank belonging to the Keystone Re-
ining company, located in Oil Creek,
about two miles north of this city. The
tank contained about $1,000 barrels of
oil, and at 10:30 this morning the petrO-
leum boiled over and ran into the creek
and down stream about three-fourths of
mile. Fortunately, a strong wind
forced the burning Oil to the opposite
bank, thus saving the works of the
Pennsylvania Refining company. Con-
tinental Oil company and the Union Re-
fining company. The overflow, how
ever, ignited another tank contain
ing $4,000 barrels. Great fears are en-
tertained for the safety of the city when
this tank bOils over. Every precautiOn
has been taken to avert the catastrophe,
but the wind is changing and blowing
directly toward the city, and, should the
overflow be large one. great loss of
property must ensue. All the available
hose in the city, public and private. has
been pressed into service. Crowds of
people viewed the magnificent spectacle
all day.

THE Loss $3OO,OOO.
Part of the Disston Saw Works
DESTROYED by Fire

PHILADELPHIA, May 12.-The large
brick building which contained the
steel works and rolling mill of Dsston's
extensive saw works at Tuscany was
totally destroyed by fire, which broke
out few minutes after 2 O'Clock this
morning. Although the fire depart
ment responded very promptly, and the
fire apparatus of the establishment was
Immediately brought into service, the
structure was in ruins within an hour,
causing loss of S300,000, on which
there was an insurance of $4,000.
Everything in the nature of
wood work about the struc-
ture was as dry as tinder, owing to the
large number of fires kept going. Half
an hour after the fire was discovered the
slate roof fell in. carrying the walls with
it, and causing utter ruin. The firemen,
however, succeeded in confining the
fire to the one building. The building
was 400X100 feet in dimensions, and $50
persons were employed in it. All of
these will be thrown out of employment
and, as all the work done in the estab-
lishment passes through this depart
ment, 1,600 other employees will be
more or less affected. The mill was
the most complete of its kind i'll this
country, and the immense amount of
machinery used was of the most APP
proved kind. All of this will have to be
rebuilt by the firm from drawings. which
were fortunately saved. A representa-
tive Of the firm to-day said the loss on
the building was trifing when COM
pared with the damage by the loss of
the machinery, which it will take several
months to replace. The works had been
running night and day for some time OH
account of an unusually large number of
orders awaiting fultillment, this having
promised to be the busiest year in the
history of the firm.
Ham ilton Disston, the head of the
firm, left the city few hours before
the fire for pleasure trip on his yacht
in Southern waters.

PERU, Ind, May 13.-John Giphart, a
cigarmaker of Pittsburg, and men,
ber of the Cigarmakers' union, was
murdered in the jail here last evening
by Adolph Boyer, fellow prisoner.
Both were arrested for intoXication and
locked in the same cell. They quar-
relied because Giphart demonstrated
with Boyer for keeping him awake.
Boyer, without any provocation, as
saulted him with sharp knife, cutting
several deep gashes across his face, and
finally, in his frenzy, threw him down
and stamped on his head, killing him
almost instantly. The murderer is a
young man not more. than twenty-five

by the tariff laws. That the present
leaders of the Republican party show
desire to fasten upon the people laws
that will build up a favored class,
destroy the liberties of the people, and
will reduce them to condition subject

selfish class made wealthy and arrogant
by class legislation.

men who favor just and equal laws.
and who believe that the government
should be conducted in the interest of
the whole party without regard to sec
ton or locality to unite with us in our
fight for reduction of taxation and
march with us to certain victory under
our gallant leader, Grover Cleveland.
