Disappeared at Sea.

Information has just been received at Ottawa,
Ont, of the tragic disappearance on mid-ocean
Of Louis Veszlna, real estate owner OF Quebec
He was fifty years of age and sailed from New
York i'll the latter part of April on board the
steamer La Champagne on what he intended to
be a lengthy trip to Europe. During the first
part of the voyage be became a prey to such a
strange hallucination that the physician of the
ship found it necessary to confine him to his
cabin for two days after which it was consid-
cred safe to give him his liberty. Soon after
ward Veszina handed all the mo ~ and jewelry
he had about him to the captain and asked him
afraid of losing it. That night he disappeared
from the ship and nothing whatever has been
learned of his fate.

The Phil Kearney Post, No. 10, GAR, De-
partment of Virginia, went to Petersburg yes
terday. The orator of the day was Col Dan A.

offered by r. P. Wheeler. post commander De-
partment of the GAR. of Virginia was

The failure of Malone to attend the unveil-

not little among the notable confederates. In
letter to friend, in which he explains that
business engagements detained him in the
mountains of Tazewell county, Mr.. Malone
says: My enforced absence will neither lessen
my admiration for the veterans, and especially
for the brave men who formed the brigade and
division which it was my pride and honor to
command nor my exalted esteem for Gen. L.
tional contest and my duty as an ex-confed-
crate soldier, under a restored Union and the

tiugushed honor of commanding such a

End Of a Desperate Who Would Rob
Anybody but Preachers.

A posse of citizens and gang of notorious
horse thieves had an encounter % miles above
Austin, Tex, in the mountains, late Thursday
afternoon, i'll which one of the thieves, George
Makemson, was killed, and his brother Frank
captured.

Austin, held up and robbed DIR. r. NJ Swearin-
gen, Rev. r. X. Smoot, DR.. Stoddard and sew
eral others Of their gold watches and what
money they had. As he took the watches he
examined them carefully. When he came up
with DIR. Smoot he noticed that gentleman's
watch was engraved. 'You are a preacher"
he said. Here's your watch. / don't rob
preachers" and he handed the watch back.
Three days after he was captured while asleep
and was tried, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for twenty years Some four weeks
ago. upon petition of the county officers prison
officials and the gentlemen who he had robbed,
the governor pardoned him. He then joined
his brother Frank. Since then horse thefts

ADVANCE IN LEATHER.

During the past two months al.
most every kind of material used in
the shoe trade has advanced. The
increased cost of this stock to the
manufacturer ranges from about SC
to 12c per pair. This is sufficient
rise to establish advanced quotations
to jobbers and retailers. Future
contracts accordingly will unques-
tionably be closed only on basis Of
higher prices in consequence OF the
greater cost of stock. In some in
stances there has been 40 per
cent. advance in the price of sup
plies. The average advance in sole
leather during the past two months
is at least 5 per cent.-Chattanooga
