A dispatch from San Francisco, dated
the 18th, says that four whites and fifty
seven natives who were going, as labor
ers to Australia, were lost by the wreck
of steamer on the New Hebrides. The
survivors say that about twenty natives
and one white man reached shore, but
the Islanders, after inviting them to a
feast, tomahawked and ate the whole
crowd, except one boy, who escaped.

Habeas Corpus Proceedings in La
fayette, Indiana.

1ayGLJe, indiana.
1t is still fresh i'll the recollection of our citi
Zens that at the May term, 1889, OF the circuit
court of Augusta county, there was a suit of
Lucy A. Cprtis against Adrain Ann Curtis for
damages for the alienation of the affections of
the husband by reason of the interference and
Vaccinations of the defendant. the mother in
law; it was novel suit, the first Of the kind
ever instituted south of Mason and DiXons
line; the trial lasted for several days and re-
suited in the finding of verdict of $500 i'll
favor of the plaintiff
At that trial the fact was developed that by
reason of the influence of Adrian Ann Curtis
over the husband of Lucy A. Curtis, who was
the,son of Adrian Ann, he induced to aban-
don his wife and take away with him their only
child, a bright-eyed girl of about four years of
age Since that trial, the mother of this little
girl, Lucy A. Curtis, has hoen 6ndeayoring to
ascertain its whereabouts in order to reclaim it.
BY the assistance of her counsel, Capt. james
Bumgardner, late Democratic candidate for
Congress from this district, and w. E. Craig,
present U. s. Attorney for this district, She
certained that it was at Lafayette, Ind living
with the mother-ln law, Adrian Ann Curtis, and
her husband. At once she applied to the Hon.
E. M. Cheadle, Representative in Congress from
the Lafayette Gnd.) district, who promptly re-
of the cityof Lafayette, as attorneys in her be-
half; this firm associated with them the law
,rm of Wallace & Baird, of said CITY, Lucy A:
Curtis, accompanied by her brother, went to
Lafayette, and petition of habeas corpus was
filed by her counsel, requiring the production
before the court of the body of the little child
to determine in whose custody it's future hal pi-
ness should be intrusted.
Our people here have in mind the cruel deser-
ton of Lucy A. Curtis by her husband, and the
abduction Of her little girl, and the influences
which brought it about; the sympathy is all
with Lucy A. Curtis, and the hope is that she
may succeed in obtaining the custody and con-
troll of her child
Dispositions will be taken by the local counsel
here (Bumgardner & Craig) during the coming
week to be read at the trial on behalf of tn
claim of Lucy A. Curtis to the child.
L. A. Curtis, it will be remembered, is daugh-
ter of Benz. L. Hook, one of the most prominent
and respectable citizens of Highland county.

DR.. Frank King.

We regret to learn that DR.. Frank
King, a prominent citizen of Shenan-
doah county, and the owner of Van Blu
rem Furnace, sand President of the Shep-
andoah County Agricultural Fair, died
at the Shenandoah House, Woodstock,
GA the 18th inst His illness was of sew
eral weeks duration. DIR. King removed
to Shenandoah county from Massachu-
sets twenty years ago, and at once took
a front position among the progressive
business men of that section. He was a
gentleman of fine intelligence, great en-
ergy and earnest convictions, and made
his impress upon every movement in
which he engaged. While identified
with the iron business, he took great in
terest in improved farming and stock
raising, and had some splendid herds of
biooded cattle 1t was to his energy and
sagacity that the Shenandoah County
Fair scored it's first important success.
Several years ago, he was the nominee
of the Republican party for the State
Senate, but was defeated through the
III lehinations of Malone and his bench
men. He had no confidence IN Malone
or his methods, and was uniform i'm the
expression of his. belief that the influ-
ences resulting from his management
would be the cause of the wreck of the
Republican party in Virginia and its
in the South.
The death OF DR.. King is loss to his
county and to the State, and will be Sc
riously felt. 80. *.--..-. s.s
