vey Wilbour was one of the wealthiest resi-
dents of this place. and when she died.

wealth would go to the Roman Catholic
Church, of which she was devout attend
ant. But about month ago Mrs Wilbour
learned that she had a grandniece living
in Newport. She had never seen the young
lady, and did not know of her existence
until this summer, but she altered her will,
and bequeathed her immense estate
to this grandniece. Miss Sarah Harvey,
under the following conditions: She shall
attend divine worship at Roman Cath

month, and annually give $1,000 for the
support of the Catholic convent in her city.
If she marrles she must prefix her maiden
name to that of her husband. She must
never become a member of Protestant
church. If, when she is twenty-five years
old, Miss Harvey is willing to fulfill all the
above conditions, she will come into full
possession of all the personal property and
real estate of the testatrix, which at that

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
The Return of William Pelcher to His Family
at Lyons, n. Y.

LYONS. N. Y, Aug. 19.-The case of Will
lam Pelcher, who twenty-five years ago
left his home mysteriously, and who was
never heard of until his sudden reappear-
ance a few days ago, is an absorbing topic
of discussion. Pelcher lived in Palmyra
with his wife and family. md in 1862 en-
tered as private in a Wavre county regi-
ment. Three years later he was honorably
discharged. While in the service he con-
tracted epilepsy, to which can be traced
all his subsequent actions. In the summer
of 1866 he disappeared as completely as
though the earth had swallowed him. and
all efforts to obtain traces of his where
abouts have proved futile. His family
mOurned him as dead and his wife applied
Tor widows pension, which was not
granted. however.
In the meantime Mrs Peleher and one son
moved to Lyons, where they have since
lived. A few days ago an aged man called
to see the family, and the surprise of Mrs
Pelcher can be imagined when she discov-
cred that he was her l0ng-lost husband
whom she had mourned as dead. Pelcher
when questioned AS to his whereabouts,
said that he had wandered away in one of
his eplleptic fits. ana had travelled from
place to place, doing odd jobs for a living.
he had made the circuit of the globe, he
said, but his remembrance of the places he
had visited was very defective.
On Thursday Pelcher visited the soldiers
ana sailors encamDment at Sodus Point, to
rades In arms. and while there was seized
with mt and almost expired. He was
taken TO the home of his son in Palmyra,
and lies there In a critical condition.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The triennial
committee of the Knights Templars met,
last night, at their rooms in the A tlantic
building, for the purpose of hearing reports
from sub-committees, who are making ar
rangements for the coming of the grand
encampment. The committee on excur-
sions reported that they had hired the
steamer Columbia for two days, and the
carriage committee announced the engage
ment of fifty vehicles for the use of the
officers of the encampment on the day of
the parade. The committee decided that
it was inadvisable to hold a competitive
drill, but each division will give an exhibi-
tiOn. Chairman Parker stated that the
parade would be about two miles and a
half In length, and, in view OF this fact and
the splendid condition of Washington
streets, none of the marchers were In dan
ger of being overcome with fatigue. 1t is
the intention of the local eommandery to
make proposition that all OF the future

frequent passing of carriages and buggies
of Oakland visitors bent on seeing the
President, Sunday slipped quietly away.
At IL o'clock the summer guests of the
hotel and cottages strolled into the little
chapel. After the President, walking with
ex-senator Davis, entered and was fairly
seated, the congregation sung "Rock of
Ages" which was followed by prayer by
Rev. Mr.. Marian, of the Union Church, of
st. Louis. The daughter of Mr.. Halford
creditably sang the solo of Better Land"
The pastor read the first Psalm and the
twenty-ninth verse and twenty-first chap
ter of Matthew, and gave out the hymn,
"Son of my Soul, my Savior Dear" The
minister preached from the parable of the
fig tree. A prayer followed, giving thanks
for the opportunities of the past and ask
ing strength to glorify God for his kindness.
The service closed with "All Hail the Power
of Jesus Name" AS the congregation was
dismissed President Harrison was met by
Miller and Mr.. Elan. The President re-
turned to the Spencer cottage to dinner.
In the afternoon, accompanied by ex-Sena-

SWIFT PUNISHMENT.
Negro Who Had Brutally Beaten Young
Girl Lynched and Riddled with Bullets.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 1S.-Walter Asburg,
colored, alias Berriam, was lynched at Poo
ler, ten miles west of here, early this morn
ing for assault upon Lulu Kissman, sew
enteen-year-Old German girl, yesterday aft
ernoon. The assault was made upon tho
girl at her home in the center of the town
while the family was away. She
was terribly beaten in struggle with
her assailant. but she successfully
resisted him. Her clothing was torn from
her body, her face terribly beaten and
gashed, and one eye closed. The finger
prints of the negro were left on her neck,
and her cheeks were torn and bleeding.
Her neck was so wrenched that she was
unable to turn her head. The struggle
must have lasted several minutes. The
floor and furniture were covered with blood
and the girls hands were bloody from
the struggle. Her cries attracted a
colored man who was near by and who res
cued her from her assailant's clutches.
Asburg sprang through door and escaped,
down, seized double -barreled shotgun and
fled to the woods. In an hour the whole
town was in arms and a mounted posse
started in pursuit. About midnight the
negro was found at low dance-house
a short distance from the scene of assault.
He was taken back to the girls house and
she identified him as her assailant. His
clothes were covered with blood from the
encounter with the girl. He confessed the
crime and begged for mercy. Three hum

his body riddled with bullets. Across his
body was pinned paper with the inscrip-
tion: This is the way we protect Our
home" The body was left hanging, and
will probably be cut down by the coroner
tomorrow. The lynching party was so
strong that the authorities were unable to
take Asburg from them.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-It is expected
that the return of Mrs. Ii arrison to Deer
Park will be followed, early this week, by
the opening of the fair for the benefit of the
Garrett county orphanage, which was post
poned when Mrs. Harrison was summoned
to Nantucket. Both Mrs. Harrison and her
daughter, Mrs Mckee have taken an active
interest in this most worthy charity, insti-
tuted for the preservation of the hundreds
of young girls who. by the laws of the State,
are yearly bound out from eleven years and
upwards until such aperiod as they become
of age. The abuse of the privilege thus be-
slowed by law upon the mass of farmers Is
we'll known and abhorred by all right-feei-
ing persons. and the growing evils are but
too universally felt to be longer submitted
