KIDNAPPED FOUR YEARS AGO.
Little Frank Butt Of Minneapolis Found
but His Mother Is Missing.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 10. -
About four years ago little Frank Butt,
an Swear old lad living with his wild
owed mother at 40 Fifth street North,
was abducted. The police now claim to
have solved the mystery of his disap-
pearance. Little Franks mother was
almost distracted by the loss of her SON.
Every effort was made to find the boy,
but without success. Finally the search
was given up, and not very long after
ward Mrs. Butt herself disappeared. No
body in Minneapolis seems to know
where she went. Two detectives spent
all day yesterday searching in Minneap'
oils and St. Paul for some trace of her,
but no clew to her whereabouts could
be found. The police have now, as a
last resort, sent the following notice to
the newspapers:
"Mrs. Butt, who had son kidnapped
about four years ago, can learn some
thing of Importance with regard to
Charles F. Butt, her lost son, by calling
at police headquarters at once"
There is a romantic story about the
little boys disappearance. Mrs. Butt
kept boardels four years ago. She was
a charming woman and the younger
boarders did not hesitate to show their
admiration. One in particular, a young
fellow named Price, was very attentive
both to Mrs. Butt and her boy. 1t is
said that he made the pretty widow an
offer Of marriage, but was refused.

her boy, so at least the story runs. Price
took the little fellow to the theatre one
day and that was. the last seen of him in
Minneapolis. 1t was rumored that
Price had taken the boy to Mexico, but
that was only report. 1t is said that
the police have now heard that the little
boy is in small town in California,
alive and well. Meantime they are very
anxious to find Mrs. Butt.

Too Sick to Stand His Trial.

John T. Lyon, who is in the Abbeville
jail under charge Of murder in the kill
ing of D. L. Mabry, is now in critical
condition. 1t is thought that the chances
of his recovery are against him. Yes
terday evening his friends interested
themselves in making him more CON-
Portable. He was removed to another
room in the Jail, and Sheriff Mann did
everything in his power for the comfort
of the sick man and his friends who
are attending him night and day. He
seems to be in nervous condition, ey-
ceedingly feeble, and suffering from in
digestion, or other stomach troubles,
having been unable to take sufficient
nourishing food for the last week or ten
days. Owing to his extremely low con-
dition, and his age, it is not now deemed
at all probable that he will be able to
come to trial, even if he lives until the
sitting Of the court next Monday

AMAMMoTH WHEEL.
The Largest Of Its Kind Ever Made in the
World.

SCRANTON, Penn, October 1.-THE
greatest wheel of its kind in the world,
very wonder in mechanism, stands II
the main shop Of the Dickson Manufac
turing Company in this city. 1t was
built for the Calumet and Hecla Mining
Company of Lake Superior, Michigan,
for the purpose of lifting and discharg-
ing the "tailings," waste from the
copper mines, into the lake, and its
diameter is 81 feet, while its weight in
active operation will be 200 tons. 1t is
called a fifty-foot sandwheel, but its ex-
treme dimensions are 81 feet in diane
ter. Some idea of its enormous capacity
can be formed from the fact that it will
receive and elevate sufficient sand every
twenty-four hours to cover an acre of
ground foot deep.
1t is armed on its outer edge with 1872
teeth, All inches pitch and IS inches
face. The gear segments, eighteen in
number, are made of gun iron, and the
teeth are machine cut, epicycl0idal in
form. 1t took two of the most perfect
machines in the world 100 days. and
nights to cut the teeth alone, and the
finish is us smooth rs glass. Mr.. Sidney
Broadcut, the general superintendent OF
the Dickson Manufacturing Company,
is the inventor of the machine with
which the teeth of the great wheel were
cut. He is an English mechanic who
has been in this country half century,
and is so modest that if he should hap
pen to see this notice of himself IN the
Times he is likely to advertise for the
correspondent and annihilate HIM.
Another great factor in the construc-
ton of the mammoth wheel is the de-
Signer, Mr.. E. D. Leavitt of Cambridge.
port, Mass, the consulting engineer of
the Calumet and Hecla Company. The
wheel is to be driven by pinion of gun
iron containing thirty-three teeth of
equal pitch and face and will run at Il
speed of 600 feet per minute ut the inner
edge, where it will be equipped with
AS steel buckets that will lift the "tail-
ings" as the machine revolves and dis
charge them into launders that will carry
them into the lake. The shaft of tho
wheel is Of gun iron, and its journals
are 90 inches in diameter by 3 feet 4
inches long. The shaft is made in three
sections ard is 30 inches in diameter in
the centre.
Alta first glance the great wheel looks
like an exaggerated bicycle wheel, and
it is constructed much on the same prin-
ciple. with strainlng rods that run to
centres cast on the outer sections Of the
shaft. The steel buckets on either side
of the gear are each 4 feet ST inches
long and 2l inches deep, and the CON-
bined lifting capacity of the 44S, run.
ming at a speed of 600 feet per minute,
will be 100000 gallons of water and
1000 tons of sand every "a hours. The
mammoth wheel is supported on two
massive adjustable pedestals Of cast iron
weighing II tons each, and it is esti-
mated that its cost at the copper mines
before making a single revolution will
not be less than 100000.

A TWO-SIDED LIFE.
Begging by. Day and Enjoying Social
Pleasures at Night.

New YORK, October "a young man
who has been leading a remarkable
double life in this city for several years
was sent by Police Justice Ford on Tues
day last to spend six months of unin-
teresting single life in the City Prison
on the recommendation of Special Officer
Hebberd of the Charity Organization
Society. The fellow has, according to
Mr.. Hebberd, made from 81 to $40 day
during the last six years by begging,
and has lived like lord during the
evenings Oh the money. During all that
time he lived in good style and entirely
free of expense with well-to do Jewish
family iu Harlem, and went about with
them in high society circles.
He dressed well and was an inreterate
theatre and ball goer, and the people
with whom he lived and all his acquaint-
ances thought he held good position
as messenger in the Stock Exchange.
They knew him as Max Seligman, and
he had bis name in the City Directory
with that occupation tackled to it, but
his real occupation was visiting wealthy
families with cleverly written begging
letters signed by his father" Henry
Solomon. He is bright, good looking
young man, and a glib talker, and he
rarely failed to get the asked-for help.
He always gave his address as 430 East
Seventy. first street, but those who went
there to offer him and his starving
brothers and sisters" further aid were
Indignantly shoued off the premises by
the respectable people living there. Let
ters began to come to the Charity .Organi.
zation Society in March, 1884, telling of
the fellows swindles, but nothing could
be learned of him until last Monday,
when Mr.. William Oppenheim of l9
East Si1ty-seventh street sent word that
Solomon had called at his house for
money and had been promised some if
lie would call on the following morning.
Officer Hebberd was on hand when Solo.
mon appeared, and promptly took him
down to Justice Ford, who gave him
his desserts. 1t was a long time before
Solomon's friends became convinced OF
his guilt, and they were utterly as
founded at his duplicity. The young
man spent some of his spare time dab
bing in politics in the Eighth District,
and had recently been appointed an in
spector of election there through the in,
fluence of County Clerk Reilly.

EXPLOSION OF NATURAL GAS.
One Person Roasted to Death and Severa
Others Severely Injured.

KoKoMA, Indiana, October 9.-Tho
second accident in the history of the
Kokoma gas belt occurred at Grome,
fifteen miles East of Kokoma, Monday
night, in which ChuSa Mormon was ill.,
stantly killed; Frank Larue had q leg
broken, necessitating amputation; Hiram
Overman had his skull fractured, and
John Hogue is probably fatally burned.
A large crowd had gathered at this
well, which is the strongest one in the
State, to witness the gas display. Sixty
feet of four-inch pipe was laid from tue
well, terminating in vertical elbow four
feet in height. The young mar who ap-
piled the torch fooliShly turned this ell
bow down 10 lie on the ground, and just
as the gas ignitcd the tremendous force
flung sixty feet Of the pipe around,
striking and burning everything within
its reach. A large number were injured
in addition to the above.
Mormon was preacher in the Friends
Church, IS years of age and an old
resident in this County, and leaves a
wife and five grown children. lie was
pinned to a wire fence by the end of a
flaming pipe and roasted, being almost
consumed.

A Bad Character.

A st, Louis paper of recent date
says: J. J. Boyle, the ex-priest of the
Roman Catholic Church, who is now on
trial for his life at Raleigh, N. c.,
charged with outraging Geneva Wbita-
ker in May, was we'll known in this city
a year ago, and has been here at an
even later date. Boyle's reputation
while here was best known to the police,
and he is given very bad character.
About one year ago he officiated at a
Catholic church in a small town in
Illinois, but left in disgrace, having
contrived to raise large sum of money
for the purpose of building a new
church, and having then come to st.
Louis to spend it among fast women.
About a year ago officer Carr arrested
the man at a house on Spruce street
for disturbing the peace, on complaint
Of one of the inmates. He was let off
with an easy fine, but was subsequently
brought up in the same court number
of times.

MIRRORS AS DETECTIVES.
They Will Be Used in an Insane Asylum
to See What Attendants Are Doing.

NoRRJsTowN, Pa, October GA novel
method has been hit upon by the trustees
of the State Hospital for the Insane of
this city to prevent brutalities on the
part of attendants toward violent and
refractory patients. The device was
proposed yesterday by DR.. A. q. Chase,
and after a brief discussion was
adopted. 1t is a system of complex mir
rors Ind shafts leading to the attic or
top story, by which an inspector sta
toned there is enabled to observe mi
uutely every act and motion of the pa
ticnts and attendants in the wards OF
the first and second floors. The object
of the arrangement is to prevent rather
than defect the abuse of patients, and it
is believed the attendants will be more
careful when they know they are con
stantly under the. eye of watchful
official, whose sole task is to report any
dere!iction OF duty. The trustees to-
day examined the operation of the
mirror system, and expressed tie opin-
ion that it would effectually prevent the
preparation of any of those abuses
which have hitherto created scandal in
the conduct of the asylum.

PAN-AMERIcAN EXCURSIoNIsTs
Take in Sights Worth Seeing at Spring
field, Massachusetts.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, October 11.-Thc
delegates to the international Congress
went to sleep last night in New Haven,
Conn. and opened their eyes this morn
ing in Springfield, Mass, having slipped
from one State to another without
being aware of the fact that the
cars had moved during the
night. Before they had eaten their
breakfast Alderman Murphy and
Captain Blount, who is attached to the
Springfield Armory, boarded the train
aud acquainted the excursionistS with
the programme for the day. At the sta
ton the party was joined by Colonel
Burlington, commanding at the Arsenal,
members of the municipal government
and number of prominent citizens OF
the place. After formal introductlons
had been made, the visitors were placed
in carriages and driven to the Armory;
the Morgan Envelope Works. where all
the stamped envelopes used by the gov
ernment are made; the Smith Il Wesson
arms works, and other places of interest.
They wnl Surely Visit the South.
BALTIMORE, October 11.-The omiS-
sion of the South in the present tour of
the delegates to The Pan-American Con-
gress has been sogenerally misunder-
stood, that Walker Blaine of the De-
partmrnt of State writes r. II. Ed
monds, editor of the Manufacturers
Record, to the effect that in the original
planning of the programme of the con-
venton it was intended TO give the del
egatcs an excursion 10 the South, and in
his letter says: "It is proposed to visit
the Southern States later in the season,
when the weather will be more favorable
and the various and peculiar industries
of those States can be seen to better ad-
vantage. As this nation covers an i'm
mensc expanse of territory, and as it Is
the desire that the distinguished visitors
shall be given an opportunity to see ii
all, it was pecesSary to divide the tours
and each section be visited when its Pc
culiar industries could be seen to the
best advantage"
The South Will Not Be Slighted.
WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE Secre-
tary of State receives many invitations
for the International American Confer
eucc to visit certain sections of the South.
1t should be generally and widely known
that the present arrangement is that
early in January an itinerary will be
arranged for the South relatively more
extensive than that which is now in
progress in the North. To have taken
in both sections on one itinerary would
have been fatigQing and exhausting;
and, besides, the month of October is
not regarded as the most favorable sea-
son for visiting the South. The princi-
pal cities of the South may be assured
of a visit from all the delegates in the
proper season. This announcement is
made on the authority of Secretary
Blaine.

BRUINS FL1RTATIoN.
a Bear Frightens Young Lady Almost
to Death and is Shot.

CHICAGO, H., October 7.-One of the
cinnamon bears in show, which has
been exhibiting at place in Halsted
street, broke open its cage Sunday night
and escaped. He started down the
street and reached Indiana street, where
young lady was slowly walking, eat
ing au apple the while. His bearship
at once changed his course and went
over to make the young lady's acquaint-
ance. In moment there was series
of shrieks as the hot breath of the bear
famed the lady's cheeks. She dropped
her apple, which the bear picked up.
The lady started or a double quick for
Clark street, yelling all the time at the
top of her voice.
The bear caught up with her, and
playfully putting his big fcrefeet on her
shoulders, trotted along on two legs.
Officers Frenson and Maloney discoy-
cred the two, the young woman border
ing on Mysteries and the bear evidently
enjoying his companions fright. The
officers quickly cut his career short BY
shooting him.

The Aluminium Works.

A party of Northern capitalists in
terested in the establishment of a plant
for the manufacture of aluminium from
clay, will visit Columbia, S. G., this
week or next with a view to examining
the advantages offered for this industry
by that city. The Chamber of Industry
of Wilmington was in correspondence
with these parties, but they required
water power that our city could not fur
nish. They were, therefore, referred to
Fayetteville, which city possesses pecu-
liar advantages for such an industry.
1t is probable that either Columbia or
Fayetteville will he chosen us the place
as they are both eligible in every point
of view.- Wilmington Messenger.

Haynes, Sheriff of the County, and Watt
AustilIe, prominent citizen. In the
duel Haynes was shot and wounded in

Austille interfered. Haynes and Aus,
tile then exchanged insulting epithets,
and while the drunken man was still
between them commenced firing at each
other.
