Madison Square bank building, has disappeared
very suddenly, taking with him &c, 900 or Sl5,-

leaving behind innumerabie debts and beau

and Aldrich was compelled to employ assist
ants; These assistants were required to deposit
all the way from $500 to $500 as o guarantee
that they would faithfully return the amounts
they collected. Their salaries ranged from els
to casa week, when they got them. March
the Madison Square bank. He left q letter for
his brother William, telling him that he had
gone to Providence and would return by
Wednesday. He has not turned up since.
Since his disappearance there have been mourn
full scenes around the Madison Square bank
building. The collectors inquired in vain for
their money, but were put of with the state
meDt that the wife Of q commercial traveller
living in east 44th street would advance money
for Aldrich as soon as she learned his where
abouts. No money has been forthcoming, how
ever.
Aldrich's career has been varied. He was
formerly doctor Of stammering, with elegant
Offices on 14th street near 5th avenue. About
three years ago the beautiful daughter of Mrs
Birdsall Of 1879 east 47th street visited him to
be cured Of some defect in her speech. He
laid siege to her heart and soon captured it.
They were married and went to live with Miss
Birdsalrs mother. The married life was not
happy one. They parted and she has seen
him only once or twice since, and then with
view of obtaining divorce. Aldrich is about
thirty five, q very suave, oily talker, and very
neat in his dress. He is about six feet two
inches tall, and il called handsome. He wears
a small black mustache. He is noted player
at the races, and only short time ago is said
to have dropped $3.50 in Q single sitting at

TRACKED BY BLOODHOUNDs.
Two Murderers at Bay in q South
Carolina Swamp.

Gov. Richardson Of South Carolins received
q telegram last night that MurreIl and Car
penter, the convicted murderers of Paul
Younce, had been surrounded in swamp and
asking that the penltentiary bloodhounds be
sent Immediately to locate them.
These men are two young white toughs who
lsst summer filled themselves with whisky and
started out with the svowed intention o. killing
the first man they met Young Younce, re-
spected and inofensive youth, was their victim,
and they filed him with bullets, despite his
pitiful cries for mercy. The villains were CAP
tured, tried and in November were sentenced
TO be hanged in January.
Through the assistance Of friends and the con-
nivance Of INDUCED prisoners they escaped
from jail three months ago. A reward of 81 200
was offered for their capture, and it was be-
lieved that they had been seen in Arkansas, but
1t turned out TO be a put-up job to distract at
tention from their hiding place.
II is believed now that they have been hiding
in the swamps Of Edgefeld county, and that
provisions have been supplied to them by
friends. The stirring presentment made by
the grand jury Of Edge6eid last week awakened
Q new interest in their capture.
The penitentiary bloodhounds we're killed
some time ago, but the governor has tele-
graphed for private hounds to be sent to John
son by the first train.

A PRELATE'S NOTABLE REMARKS
Bishop Paret Calls the Revival System
Perversion Of the Gospel.

Bishop Paret Of the Protestant Episcopal
church delivered an address yesterday at the
business mems prayer meeting in Baltimore, in
which he said that the reason why the field Of
religion was left to women was to his mind
'that monstrous perversion Of Gods gospel
known a. the revival system. II teaches the
idea that before men can worship God they
must be worked mp to some intense emotion
alism or 60 through certain commissions Of
feeling.
Then there are books Of prayer, crammed
full Of sentimental stun that men cannot &C.
cept," went on the bishop. This idea Of SEN
timent u . false one. cannot feel like q
woman. cannot pray like q woman. Nor 10
it required to aim to fill your prayers with
fictitious feelings that have no response in the
heart The essence Of repentance 10 TO turn
your back upon sin. Take the Lords prayer
and offer that up. or, IL you can do no more,
say God be merciful 70 me SINNER Do jus-
tice, love mercy. God made his religion and
Christ taught it for both men and women. In
it 10 the greatest attraction for true manliness"

THEY HOLD THE PURSE STRINGS.
Why the Advice of Dillon and O'Brief Is
so Eagerly Awaited.
lBy punlap's Cable Agency.)

LONDON, Dec. 3.-ln estimating the
present situation it is essential TO remem-
Der that the Parnellite party is largely
composed of members who owe their seats
to the Irish Parliamentary Fund. which
was drawn upon to pay their election ex-
penscs, and but for which they could not
have been elected. This fund is abso-
lutely at Mr.. Parncl's disposal and it is
surmised that in case he retains his post
he will act summarily with the malcon-
tents, replacing them by men who are
attached to his interests. OF late the
fund has greatly decreased, and it was TO
replenish it that Dillon, O'Bren and
Others went 10 America. In fact, these
gentlemen at this moment hold the purse
strings, and it is for this reason that their
decision for or against their old leader is
so anxiouslv awaited.
Mr. Parnell remains the central figure
of the drama so far as this country is con-
cerned, and his slightest movements are
curiouslv watched In his intercourse
with his followers he is as naughty as
ever, while he snubs the entire liberal
party, having paid no attention to Mr..
Gladstonc's communication, and refused
to sec Mr.. Morley when the latter called.
1t was significant to note how every
face in the House of Commons turned TO
the Irish benches Yesterday when Mr..
Parnell made his appearance. The House
was 80 quiet that the traditional pin could
almost have been heard to drop when he
walked up the gangway. the hum of con-
versation and the usual rustling of order
papers having ceased, bringing into un-
usual relief the voice of the minister, who
happened to be answering q question.
The Irish leader looked careworn, but his
eyes were bright. Having taken his seat,
he took bundle of letters from his
pocket, and at once became immersed in
their contents, apparently obivious of the
sensation his entrance had caused and in
different to it.
1t is reported to-day that the Liberal
Club of Reddish has vented its spite on
Mr.. Parnell by drowning his portrait in
tub of water and then tearing it TO
ribbons.

Proposition to Gardeners.

Editor Big Stone Post:
To show the protitableness Of truck and
dairy farming when properly carried on,
and to provide our increasing population
with homegrown supplies, DIR. Whitridge,
the estate of VIM d. Jones, and myself
will be very glad to furnish to competent
parties for that purpose, rent free, some
200 acres of land near the city limits OF
Big Stone Gap, and easily accessible by
the street railway or its extension.
We prefer as tenants, French, Germans,
or Swiss, who are accustomed to that
business, who could easily furnish large
and cheap quantities of all kinds of vege-
tables, small fruits, milk, butter and
cheese. JAMES w. FOX.
