AN HEIRESS IN PERIL.
Mysterious Attempt to Abduct or Murder
a Young Girl.

y
Young Girl.
At CarroltoD, Ohio recently, two I'M
known men attempted to abduet or murder
Miss Ida Morrison at the Hotel Vanhorn,
Miss Morrison started for her room, which
is No. on the second floor. Upon reaching
the second floor she found all the lights OUT.
While passing down the corridor In the west
end she was caught from the rear and an at
tempt was made to grasp her by the throat,
but she tore loose and screamed, and one OF
her ASSISTANTS exclaimed: Blame it. Why
don't you shoot her~
She rushed down into the office and fell
fainting in chair. When she recovered aud
told OF her escape dozen reS0lute men
dashed upstairs, put too late, as the abduet-
ors had ESCAPED down the rear stairway.
Last Wednesday night an unknown ma Ii
rang the bell at the side entrance and aske q
for Miss Morrison. When she appeared
she informed him that she was Miss MoIri-
son and asked him his business. He said:
81 am friend; let me warn you; your lie
is in danger; stay III the house for week
or So"
Before she could reply the mysterious
stranger disappeared. Miss Morrison WAS
born in Boston. When she was years old
her parents removed to Cleveland, Ohio.
Two years later she was placed in the Prot
estant Orphan Asylum on Stan street. Her
mother visited her twice during the ensuing
year and informed her that she had wealthy
relatives by the name of Harrington in
Boston. After this all trace Of her parents
was lost
Tonight. while passing through the hall
which connects the hotel dining-room ard
private parlor, she suddenly met w. G. Eo-
erson, the night clerk. She threw up her
hands and tainted dead away. Miss Morti-
son lies in precarlous condition tonight.
She has symptoms of brain fever
1t has been learned that she is the heiress
to a large estate in Boston. and it is thought
that the attempts made to either abduct or
kill her are the work of persons who desire
to get rid of her so that they can get the
money.-Phlladelph Record

William Finn, proprietor of the Phila-
delphia Exchange, is under arrest on tho
charge of assault to murder James Welsh.
According to Finn, Welsh entered the
saloon in highly intoxicated condition
last evening and demanded some liquor.
Finn refused on the ground that Welsh
was already toe drunk. Then Welsh grew
violent, applying every vulgar eplthet
known in the Sums. Words grew hotter,
and Finn claims that Welsh reached for
his hip pocket but was not quick enough.
Finn snatched up a revol yer from behind
the counter and fired. The ball passed
through the crown of Walsh's hat withia
an inch of his scalp. Walsh then ran out
of the door. Officers Cockrill Whalen and
Sandman were soon on the scene and ar
rested Finn. Welsh was found soon after
and taken to the Southern station, where a
charge Of vagrancy was recorded against
him. Within thirty minutes he was dead
drunk and could not be aroused.

Kelly had his hand cut. and post bellum

Of hawthorn blossom pTettily filed the four
angles Of the room without ObSruCting the

center OF the salon stood a plaster-cast
design for an elaborate fountain and this
was surrounded by bronzes Of the late King
Kalakaua and "Isa," made famous by
Dumas, while one door was fanked by
busts of the late Dr. Merritt and the late

was guarded by a bust of Postmaster

moteneGs from markets or from railways,
the opportunities and attractions of city
life: The tendency of Massachusetts
agriculture has been to concentrate about
the manufacturing centers. Such towns
afford ready market for perishable
products, and this fact has led to gradual
change in the agriculture of the state.
which, developing along the lines of cas-
lest resistance, has found its greatest
prot; IN the products of the market garden
and dairy"
Tie farms In the remote western coup-
ties, therefore, have been abandoned, be-
cause agriculture near the big city mar
kets offered great profits. The Massachus
etts farmers, have simply moved nearer
town. The home market created by manu-
facture gives the Massachusetts farmer for
his produce and livestock very nearly the
highest prices in the union, and notwith-
standing the competition of the agricuI-
tural west and the heavy labor demand of
the manufacturing centers. has caused
both the agricultural production and the
value of farm land in Massachusetts, to
steadily increase.
