TAsLEy, VA, October 27.--Lillian
Orwell, pretty girl Of sixteen years,
who had been raised by her aunt in the
village Of Horntown, Accomaco coun-
ty, Va, disappeared from her home
four weeks ago. Her relatives searched
the county around without obtaining
the slightest clew to her whereabouts
until her aunt, who had given her up
as dead, received letter from the Sec
ton master Of the Philadelphia and
Norfolk Railroad 1T Delmar, the divid-
ing station between Delaware aud Mary
land, describing the girl and stating
that she was safe at his home.
For several months before her disap-
pearance she had been afflicted with
melancholia, and her aunt feared that
she had committed suicide. The girl,
after leaving home, had cut off her
long brown hair and procured suit
Of boys clothing. Attired in flannel
suit, ili-ftting pantaloons, a SLOUGH
hat, and big boots, she started out to
walk to Philadelphia, bent upon travel
ing around the world.
She had travelled the railroad ties
for thirty miles and was sick and in an
exhausted condition when found blythe
kind-hearted railroad man. He took
her to be poor homeless boy, and sent
her to his wife to get some food. His
wife, upon learning thesex Of the little
tramp. made her change her clothing
and wanted to send her home, but the
girl'refused to tell where she lived and
begged so hard to remain with her new
found friends that they finally con-
sented.
In the mean time the railroad man
had inquiries made along the railroad
and finally located her home. The girl
said She, had been kindly treated by
her aunt and had no cause to leave
home other than that she wanted to see
the world. She was returned to her
aunt to-day.

Especial to THE woRLD1
OGDEN, N. j., October 27.-Steam
locomotives have had their day, and
electric motors will take their place.
This new device for whirling trains of
railroad cars at minimum speed of
100 miles an hour is the invention Of
Thomas. A. Edison. The Wizard of
the Electric Fluid has completed his
moter, tested it, and is assured of its
completeness, and backed by Henry
Willard, the well-known New Yorker,
will operate a railroad between Mil
waukee and Chicago with electricity.
Thus the era Of steam locomotives,
those tremendous machines that have
been the wonder of this age, will end
on the 4OOth anniversary of the dis
covery of America.
Mr.. Edison talked freely Of the cleo
tric motor yesterday, and said it would
displace the locomotive for three reas-
ons, viz. it was speedier, safer and
cheaper.
at will get one-horse power" he re-
marked, tout of from one to two
pounds Of cheap coal. whereas six
pounds of expensive coal are used to
make one4horse power in steam loco
motive. X
1T will carry train al 100miles or
even 200 milesan hour, while It strains
a locomotive to cover sixty miles in
that time.
THE motor will be safer for the
reason that by an indicator in the
power houses which supply the electric
current the exact location of every
train on the road viii be known at
every movement. That will be an
absolutely perfect block system, and
will insure perfect safety 50 far as col
lision of trains is concerned. This will
also be a saving of expense in main
tanning the road

! SMOKE HOUSE THIEF Captured

That He Did Not Enjoy.

That He Did Not Enjoy.
On October 2lst, Mr.. H. H., Tabler,
living at Tabb's Crossing, had his smoke
house broken into and about $50 worth
Of hams and other smoked meats stolen.
The other day it was ascertained that
some Of this stolen meat had been dis
posed Of at very moderate rate in
this city. After careful investiga-
ton the crime was fastened on a col
ored man by the name Of Frank
Phoenix, living at Hedgesville. Justice
Mckee yesterday issued warrant for
his arrest, and placed it in the hands
of Constable ]. w. Martin. Mr.. Martin
went 70 Hedgesville, and accomplish
ed his arrest, but on the way home a
thunder and rain storm, broke out, and
the constable's horse becomming scared,
overturned the conveyance in which he
and his prisoner We're seated. Forum
ately for Mr.. Martin he had Phoenix
heavily manacled, and he could not
get away. The accident was quite a
disastrous one, as the buggy was badly
demolished and he had one ofhis limbs
quite severely injured. He turned his
prisoner over to another man coming
in this direction, who safely delivered
him to the proper authorities here.
Mr.. Martin was compelled to ride his
own horse and leave his buggy at
Hedgesville. Phoenix will probably
have hearing this afternoon.

The n. p. Magnate.

Henry w. Willard, the well-known fl
nancier of the Northern Pacific railroad,
accompanied by his wife, made Bismarck
a visit yesterday afternoon. The party
arrived about 3:45 in a special train and
we're met by Agent Davidson and a party
of citizens. After shaking hands with
friends at the depot, Mr.. Willard and
wife walked up Fourth street several
blocks add returned to the train. He
expressed himself as more than ever
pleased with this country and it's pros
poets. Said he: 1 like your country,
and my wife and I are having a most en-
joyable journey. It is purely for plea
sure and to gaze on the vast fields of
golden wheat that we have chosen this
time to cross the continent. Of course
| am proud of Bismarck, as it is worthy
of my admiration. It has a future be-
fore it and will become like the cities of
the east-a great metropolis as the coun-
try develops. It is sure to become a
trade center as it's location is the most
desirable between St. Paul and Helena.
The of the country tributary
are ~inexhaustible. Rich fields of wheat,
hills underlaid with coal, prairie covered
with stock, what more does a country
need" The special left at 4::3O and will
proceed on to the coast, where the party
will spend several days.
This is Mr.. Wizards first visit here
since. '83, when the great Willard gold
spike excursion stopped half a day at
Bismarck and participated in the laying
OF the corner stone Of the capitol build
ding. That memorable day will long be
remembered by tn SO who we're in Bis
marck on that occasion. So many
prominent Americans, Germans and
Englishmen were never gotten together
before for an excursion. The trip was
planned and carried out by MI. Willard,
who was at that time president of the
Northern Pacific, the object being to adj
vertise the country through which the
road ran. Mr.. Willard wanted to float a
large amount of bonds of the road, and
took this means to give the capitalists
confidence in the enterprise.

Ole Wing has had bad luck with his

is threshed and if bad weather begins, it

markets an improved standing in the
last week. The effect of the government
report may check Improvement for a few
days, and may eve set back the market
a few cents, but such results will not
necessarily be more than temporary, for
anyone that cared to be posted knew
practically the size of the crop as we'll
before the report as now. The total
amount of wheat a1oat, in store in
Europe and in store in this country, is
now only about u per cent. more than
a month ago. That small increase was
when farmers here and in Europe sold
heavily, as they always do in September.
When these earlier marketings are over
a gradual reduction Of supplies, that will
maintain prices, is reasonable.

Just to Show the Difference.

Cooperstown Courier: Just to show
how the elevator companies "sock 1t" to
the falmer, we want to quote a case. A
few days ago, Western Houghton
brought in some wheat to our elevators
and was generously offered No. 1 north
ern for it-about So cents per bushel at
that time. Mr.. Houghton couldn't see it
that way and refused to sell. He shipped
a car load of the same grain to a COM
mission house and when he got his re-
turns it was graded as No. l northern
and the price was IS cents per bushel.
After deducting transportation, commits
sion and other expenses, Mr.. Houghton
cleared between 20 and 30 cents per
bushel on his wheat, or $153 on the en-
tire load.
Churchs Ferry Sun: Charlie Studness
has heard from the first car of wheat he
shipped from Brinsmade for which he
was offered here 2 northern. The wheat
graded l northern at Duluth and sold
for 94A cents, netting him 80 cents. Mr..
Studness realizes 10 cents a busbel over
prices at home. Mr.. Studness shipped
three nor cars from Brinsmade this
week Notwithstanding he was offered l
hard and n o dockage by a local buyer.
MI. Studness says he proposes to do his
shipping from Brinsmade regardless of
offers from this place. He expects to
load six cars next week over the North
ern Pacific platform at Brinsmade.
