ELOPED IN A BALLOON.
A Massachusetts Woman Looking for
Her Sixteen-Y ear-Old Daughter.

A Massachusetts Woman Looking for
Her Sixteen-Y ear-Old Daughter.
PTTTsFELD, Mass, June 27.-A special
from St. Louis says: ga singular story
was developed here by the application at
the City Hall of Mrs. j. F. Goodrich, Of
Pittsfield, Mass, for help to recover her
6-year-old-daughter Clara, who eloped
in a balloon from Pittsfeld Decoration
Day with an @ronaut named Walter
Cooper.
There was evidently a vein of sensa-
tionalism in the young people, because
when they determined to elope the COM
mon-place methods which have been in
vogue for centuries would not do.
Decoration Day, dressing herself in a
suit of her brothers, Clara eluded her
parents and made her way to Pittsfield.
Her father pursued and reached the fair
grounds just in time to see his daughter
borne into the air in a balloon with the
young seronaut
'Mrs. Goodrich has been pursuing the
couple ever since and swears to kill her
daughters betrayer on sight"

ATWOOD LOCKED Up
He Is Not the Husband of the
Dead Woman at TarrytOWn.
HIS STRANGE STORY WAS FALSE.
He Deepens the Mystery b. Describing
Marks on the AodH

His Real Name Is George ~ or Herd
NnE-He Must Have Known the Dead
Woman Intimately-when Questioned
by the Coroner He Refused to Answer
Questionable Inquest Now Going On.
NEW YORK, June 27.-The mystery
surrounding the beautiful dead woman
at Tarrytown deepens Dolly Davis
double, the woman who was found in the
river at Croton Landing one week ago
this morning, has been identified twice,
and in both instances the Identification
was proved erroneous.
Crank Atwood who claimed the
body at Tarrytown as that of his wife
proves to be a suspicious character with a
bogus name. He is under arrest. His
relatives say that for the past ten days he
has been tout of his head"
His true name is Victor George Herd
ling, and he is the son of George Herd
ling. proprietor Of the United States
Hotel at Fulton and Water streets. He
is "a years old.
His wife spent yesterday looking fran
tically everywhere in this city for their
little daughter, Louise, whom Herdling
took from their home in 35th street on
Thursday afternoon to Tarrytown. He
told his wife he was going to Coney
Island.
The Child Spoke the Truth.
"That isn't my mamma" lisped the
pretty, chubby faced and curly haired
little one when her father held her up so
that she could look into the casket.
The child spoke the truth. Yet Herd
ling may have known the dead woman.
He accurately described blemishes on her
dead body that the doctors had not dis
nf nTIfA or.ks
scar from either burn or a scald on her
left knee. Herdling had only looked at
the face of the corpse when he located
the blemishes, and a further examination
of the body by the physicians proved his
statement to be correct.
The rest of his story about his married
life with the woman was a string of lies.
His story Was False.
Atwood" appeared before the coro-
ner's jury yesterday and when asked if
there were any marks on the dead woman
by which he could surely identify her, he
said: "She has mole on her left leg
near the kneecap, a scar made by a scald
ON the same leg, but below the knee, a
mole on the back of her neck, and she
| has one tooth that is slightly twisted"
An examination of the body proved his
statement correct.
He then claimed that his parents were
dead, but said there was little mystery
about his family he didn't care to ex-
plain.
When the inquest was resumed last
night George P Herdling testified that
| Atwood was his son, but that he had not
been on good terms with him for the
past five years. "Atwood' was called
again to testify. He admitted that Herd
ling WAS his father, but refused to an
swer any more questions. He was then
arrested and locked up.
"The supposition is that we have in
custody the man who can tell the mis-
sing links in the chain that surrounds the
mystery of the dead woman" said the
coroner, before the jury adjourned this
! afternoon

KILLED IN A CRASH.
A Terrific Storm Wrecks a

Their Homes in Terror.

Whole Villages Swept Away by Storm

Safety-A Small Blizzard Strikes New

ScOre-Deluge in Omaha.
MOUNT CARMEL, Pa, June 27.-This Sec
tion was visited last evening by wind
and rain storm of unusual severity.
Trees were uprooted and carried great
distance, while the rain poured down in
torrents and the lightning and thunder
were terrific.
When the storm was at its height a
heavy crash was heard above the noise of
the storm, causing people to flee from
their homes in terror. For q time it was
feared that a terrible calamity had taken
place in the borough.
1t was soon learned, however, that the
crash was caused by the collapse Of the
Patterson Coal Company's large colliery,
situated two miles west of this place
The structure was a new one and was
rapidly nearing completion. Four skaters
named j. NJ. Blossom, Richard Roberts,
j. B. Dodson, and William Lodge, from
Shickshinny, Pa, were on the roof at the
time Of the accident and were hurled
to the ground, a distance of $50 feet,
and crushed to jelly by the heavy tim
bers falling upon them. Two other
workmen from Luzerne, Pa, whose
names could not be learned, were also
working in the building and they shared
the Same fate as their companions.
1t was two hours before the bodies of
the men could be recovered, owing to the
debris that was heared upon them. The
bodies Of the men were brought to this
place to await instructions from their
families.
The colliery was to have been started
next month, but the buildings are totally
wrecked, and it will take considerable
time to make the necessary repairs. The
loss to the colliery is about $4,000.

warning from Jack the Ripper.
Patrols and vigilants were revived last

with previous missives from Jack the
Ripper has been received by the chair
man of the vigilants. in which "Jack"
announces that he is about to per-
form another Operation" and that if
the chairman or vigilants attempt to
track him he will knife them to the
heart. 1t is the duty of the police, he
says, to catch him. He adds that he has
been nearly caught twice, but that he
will never be taken alive.

that the stateroom had not been occu-

to Amos w. Carson, Haverhill, Mass. /;
also letters addressed to Mrs. Amos Car
son and Charles York, Haverhill. It may
be a case of suicide, but appearances in
dictate a clever deception. The man had

NEW YORK, June 27.-There is large
delegation of college students now here
who were present at the Yale-Harvard
boat race at New London. All admit
that the race was won on the merits Of
the men.
The official time was 81 minutes,
90 seconds for Harvard, II minutes, 81
seconds for Yale, Harvard crossing the
line eleven boat-lengths in advance of
the Yale boat.
1t was a one-sided contest from the
start, much to the establishment of most
judges of rowing, the opinion having
been almost universal that Yale would
win, or at the least that the race would
be very close.
Harvard rowed in her old style and the
eight men in the boat worked together
as one man. The Yale crew rowed the
regulation Cook stroke and rowed it we'll
until half the distance had been covered,
when the weak spots began to appear.

THE CABINET MEETING.


of Silver Dollars.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-Secretary Fos-
ter makes the following statement as
the result of the Cabinet meeting affect
ing the coinage of silver:
E'After a full and careful consideration
of the law relating to the coinage of sill
yer, Secretary Foster finds that the act
of March 8, 1891, requires that the Secre-
practicable, coin the trade dollar bars
into silver dollars. He also finds that
$150,000 has been appropriated for the
recoinage of the subsidiary silver coin
into such denominations as will best
serve to give it circulation. There is
constant demand for small coins, princi-
pally dimes, which the mints have not
been able to supply.
"The Secretary of the Treasury has de-
cided that his first duty in this matter is
to obey the direction of Congress. Con-
gress has ordered the coinage of the trade
dollar bars into standard silver dollars.
The coinage of the trade dollar bars in
this manner will transform what cost
So, 0S7, 795 into 8, 14S 281 standard dollars.
The Secretary finds that it will require
perhaps four months to perform the work
of coming trade dollar bars into standard
dollars and recoining subsidiary silver.
Therefore the question of the continued
coinage of silver dollars as heretofore is
not a practical one atspresent."
The Cabinet also decided to change the
form of the asset and liability state
ments issued from the Treasurer's Office
daily and at the beginning of each
month. In the new form of statements
the net surplus will disappear and only
an available cash balance will be carried.
Other changes of minor character will
