CHLOROFORMED HIS VICTIM.
A YOUNG PHYSICIAN ASSAULTS A
PRETTY EASTERN SHORE
YOUNG LADY.

RICHMOND, Sept. CDR. Gar
land p. Moore, a surgeon and ply
stefan of Baltimore, is wanted III
EastviIle, Northampton county, Va.
on the charge of outragiPg young
lady. The sheriff Of Northampton
offers reward of $500 for his ar
rest. Major Poe, chief Of police OF
this city, mas received a letter
from the Sheriff asking his aid IN
The arrest of DIR. Moor, who was
thought 10 be in this city. The
sheriff states that Moore had been
paying attention to the young lady
for some time and they we're en-.
gagged to be married. A few day 5
ago Moore administered chOlOiorm
to his alliance and then assaulted
her. After committing this heinous
offence Moore fled. He crossed
the Chesapeake Bay and York
river in a small boat and took the
Chesapeake and Ohio train at Lee
Hall station AID came to Rich
mOnd. The accused Is a graduate
of Randolph Macon College, aud
practiced medicine in Baltimore for
awhile. Moore about five feet six
inches high, light complexion, pale
face, light brown hair, blue eyes,
whelghs about one hundred and
thirty pounds, slight built, walks
brlskly and is sprIghtly talker.
The entire police force have been
ordered to keep lookout for him.
Major Poe Is of the opinion that
Moore did not stop in Richmond,
but went west.
Moore is a son of the Rev. LLOYD
Moore, prominent preacher of the
NJ. E. Church Conference, now
dead. He was the chairman OF the
democratic party in northampton
county, where the people had taken
a great deal of interest in him and
pushed him forward. He was
young man Of very Pleasant az.
dress aud possessed most winning
ways with women, with whom he
was a great favOrite.
His victim is the daughter of
widow lady living near Cartville,
and is regarded as one OF the
protest and most accomplished
young women of the Eastern Shore.
Moore has been promising for some
fonr or five months to marry the
young lady, and 1t is reported that
at the same time be was engaged
TO another young lady on the
Eastern Shore and one in Suffolk,
all OF whom are highly connected.
When the young lady's condition
was learned some of her friends
got hold of him and all arrange.
ments were made for an evening
wedding, but when the hour al.
rived he had made his escape in
the small boat across the bay.
The people of the Eastern Shore
are very much incensed, and Moore
will fare badly If captured and
taken there. 1t is the first time any
thing Of the kind has occurred in
northampton. The people have
always been particularly sensitive
about the honor of the female pOr.
ton Of the community, and il is al.
together probable that the Young
fellows tate would be settled in
short order if taken back.

Blue Ridge Peaks Smoking.

AsHEYILLE, y. c., Sept. TO-
Reports received here from a mum.
Der OF reliable citizens in the
ueighborhOod OF Bee Tree creek, a
tributary of Sewaunee river, twelve
miles east of this city, state that
for the third time since the
Charleston earthquake smoke has
for some days been regularly emit
ted IN considerable volume from
seven mountain peaks Of the Blue
Ridge chain. The peaks Lave
come to be designated "The Seven
Smoking Mountains The occnr'
renee has excited the entire region
in which the smoke is visible, aud
many of the people are alarmed.
j. w. Boone, a highly respect
able citizen Of the Bee Tree creek
nelghb0rhood, has given the Ct't-
zen, OF this place, an account OF
his observations Of the phenomena.
He SAYS for the past two weeks
each morning about 9 o'clock vast
volumes OF black smoke rising 10
a height Of a lout 300 feet, have
issued from Watch Knob, Rocky

TERRIBLY DESTRUCTIVE.
THE DYNAMITE GUN INVENTED BY
A CHICAGO MAN.

CHICAGO, September IA gun
capable of throwing a hundred
pounds Of explosive matter a dis.
tance of four miles is the latest.
Louis Gathman, of 46 Lincoln
avenue, is the inventor, and so i'm
pressed is the Ordinance Depart.
ment OF The Unirrd States with the
gun and It's capabilities that pub.
llc test has been ordered, which
will be watched by Major General
Schofeld, president of the board of
ordinance, and many of the principal
officers of the army and navy. The
test, when made, Will take place
near New York city or Washington.
If the destructive power of this
piece OF artillery is as great as
claimed, and from recent trials at
Fort Sheridan it has borne out all
expectations, the art of warfare
has acquired another very deadly
weapon. A single shot, properly
aimed, from Mr.. Gathman's gun,
it is claimed, will sink any iron
clad aflOat. An ordinary vessel
would be torn to pieces by 1t, and
even the steelcIad cruisers OF En-
glands navy would be compelled
to flee in terror from this Chicago
mans gun. There is no complex
arrangement connected with Mr..
Gathman's destructive piece of
ordinance. 1t can be made of any
size or to suit any demand. The
whole idea involved in the new
gun is that it acts as a protector of
a torpedo. Instead of pushing
these powerful destroyers along be-
meath the water and missing the
mark aimed at two.thirdS OF the
time. This gun throws the same
instrument or Its equal through the
air and makes it drop in the water
short distance from the ship aim
ed at, where it explodes with ter.
rife force.
