This city was thrown into fever OF e1-
citement this morning at 8 O'Clock by
the finding OF the body Of a girl, II |
years old, floating in Corpus Christi
Bay, near here. 1t proved to be that OF
Rowna Hamlin. This discovery revealed
the fact that Horace Hamlln, father OF
the girl, had left his residence at 5
this morning for a walk, accompanied
by his two. .year-old boy and two daugh-
tiers, aged II and Is years respectively.
After the finding OF the first BODY,
thousands of people assembled at the
wharf while stout hesrts and willing
hands dragged the bay with every
facility at their command. One
hour was spent in this way
when the inanimate form OF pretty
Helen was brought to the service,
adding horror to the sad occasion.
Further search resulted in the recovery
Of the father, whose remains were con-
ysyed to the house. only to add to the
Door Wife's anguish.

why the World Suspended.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Oct. THE sus-
pension OF the Charleston World. which
was announced to-day. is the topic Of
the town. 1t was pretty generally
known that the World had been in
financial trouble for some time. but MIR.
+. s. Rodgers, who was the principal
owner of it, is very wealthy and the
general belief is that he was carrying
it. The burst up, it is commonly
rumored, was precipltated by politics
and was hastened by the nomination
Of J. F. Ficken as reform candidate for
Mayor. The story goes that Mr.. JerVey,
editor of the World. who was on the
committee who waited on MIR. Ficken,
had prepared an editorial endorsing his
nomination. Mr. Rodgers forbade its
publication. The editor resigned. Mr.
Rodgers refused to put up further cash
and the paper went under. Report
saws that the World cost Mr.. Rodgers s.
round sum, the figures being variously
estimated at from $4,000 to s8O,OO0
during the four years Of its existence.
Since the announcement OF tlckena

He got down to ind pic of paper

ensued. The preacher was evidently

against the hotel because the water
didn't run into the bath tno r. five
minutes, for one thing. Then there
were others equally wild. Manager
Porter had been locked in the room by
the maniac, and his position Can hardly
be imagined. The only thing Tor him
to do was to smooth down the ruhled
feelings OF the man as best be could.
Then he put a gu srd over him and went
in hurry after the Presbyterian preach
ers of the city. Secretary Lickllder, OF
the I. NJ. G. A, was the only man 10 the
city whom kildow knew, and he, with
others, hastened to the assistance Of the
hotel men. Finally it became necessary
to take the young preacher to the police
station, where he now is.
The young and pretty bride is IN the
care of some of the good ladies OF the
Kings Daughters. Physicians who
have examined the man think it simply
a case of temporary alteration. his
marriage seems to have unsettled his
mental equilibrium. Rev. Mr.. klldow

Mr.. Kildow had previously been a
student at the Theological Seminary,
and in connection with Mr.. r. s. Marks

News of his condition was at once
sent to this city and money sent to
him at Atlanta to bring him to Colum-

his condition is as serious as reported,
though nothing has been heard Of his
