Two Children Are StarvinS-She Is the
Victim of q Professional Hypnotist, and

NEW YORK, March 2.-[Specia'. Some
where in this big city Mrs. Hattie White, a
pretty young woman whose mind is de-
ranged, is hiding to escape imaginary evils.
She has her two little daughters with her,
and there is reason to believe that in her
anxiety to escape her husbands supposed
fury, and to prevent him from finding the
little ones, she is slowly starving them 10
death. Mrs. White is 90 years old, and has
been married 12 years Her oldest daughter,
Stella, is II years old, and her youngest,
Efie, is Q.
According to Mrs. Kavanagh and some
other neighbors Mrs. White is the victim Of
the mesmeris:s or professional hypnotists.
She is subject on which they often oper-
ated. There is very little doubt that she
is insane. Whether tine tricks of these men
had anything to do with making her SO is
not proved She has been queer for year
at least fIer husband is street car driver
and does not make very much money, vet
she always gave her neighbors the impress
sion that she was well off and that she cared
nothing for money. She was proud and not
popular among the people of moderate
means with whom she lived and had to as
sociate.
Some time on the morning of February %
Mrs. White left her home with her two
children. When last heard from she was
living in room rented from a Mrs. Ma
honey. Mrs. Mahoney said to-day she had
not taken Mrs. White for an insane woman,
but thought she was woman of good breed
ing in poor circumstances. 1.-The children
certainly did not have enough to eat" she
said.
There is absolutely no track of the woman
or children alter they left Mrs. Mahoney's
on Monday morning. To-day Mr.. White
appealed to the police, and general alarm
was sent out to look for them.

A NETWORK OF STEEL
To Cover West Virginia When Rail-

A WONDERFUL BUILDING BOON.

Akron, Arrested.
NEWSY NOTES FROM NEARBY TOWNS
rsrEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,


CHARLESTON, w. VA, March Rail-
road building in West Virginia is just now
enjoying distinct boom. Two trunk lines
are pushing their way through the State
with all possible speed; the old lines are
building branches, and the preliminary
work on new routes is being vigorously
prosecuted.
The Pittsburg and West Virginia Rail-
road, running southeastward through the
interior of the State, is driving forward as
rapidly as possible. The cars now run to
Sutton, which is about the center of the
State, in Braxton county, and los north Of
Charleston, on the Elk river. Grading on
the Eastern extension of the Pittsburg and
West Virginia Railroad has been completed
from the Sutton line to Camden-on-the-
Gauley, about 40 miles. and as soon as
settled weather arrives, the track will be
laid on this section, which will take the
cars to the lumber regions on the Gauley
river The Plttsburg and West Virginia
Railroad will be extended to Warrington,
in Pocahontas county, where it will con-
meet with the Springs branch of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railway, giving an outlet
to Virginia and the South.
The contract for the construction of the
first 20 miles of the Charleston, Clendenin
and Sutton Railroad was awarded yester-
day. This is short line running north
ward from Charleston, on the Elk river, los
miles to Sutton, where it will connect with
the Sutton branch of the Pittsburg and West
Virginia Railroad. The construction of the
entire line of this road will soon be under
contract, and will give Charleston direct
route to PittsDurg and the North.
The Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany has just negotiated its bonds in New
! ork to the amount OF $50 00O 900, which will
be used in pushing the work on the West
ern or Ohio river. extension of it's line. The
bridge across the OHIO river at Kenova was
completed q shor. time ago. and cars are
how running from Irontor. O., the Western
terminus to Ferguson, in Wayne county. W.
Va. The entire line will probably he opened
before the close OF the present year. This
road will develop some of the finest coal and
timber property in the State.
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad last week, in
Richmond, Va, the management was au
thoriZed to Issue bonds to the amount of
SO 0G0, 600 to bc expended in double track
ing the road and constructing lateral
branches and spurs. a part of the Chesa-
peakc and Ohio line over the Alleghenies
has already been double-tracked
The hinton and New River Railroad Com
panY was organized ut Hin ton few days
ago This is a company OF local capitalists
formed to construct a short line of railway
from Hinton, on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad, up the New river to the mouth of
East river. where it will connect with a
road. The mileage of railroad that will be
constructed in West Virginia this year will
probably be more than three times as much
us that of any previous year.

junction against the S3,OO0.O00 Deal.
NEWARK, N. j., March 1.-Two Vice
Chancellors sat to hear arguments in suit
in the Court of Chancery this morning.
Charles L. Willoughby seeks an Injunction
restricting the Chicago Junction Railway
Stock Yards Company from executing an
agreement to purchase lands Of the stock
wards from the Chicago packers, Armour,
Swift and Morris, for what is alleged to be
a price greatly in excess of the value of the
property.
This property is the yards at Tolles-
ton, Ind, and the Central Stock Yards in
Chicago, and the price to be paid therefor
is over s., ,O00, ,OO0 worth of stock. The pos
session of this block Of stock would give
those three packers control Of the Chicago
wards, in which about 20 other packers are
interested. Power would thus be given
them to discriminate against others, to make
rules and regulations by which consign-
ments of stock to them and its subsequent
shipment would be made at rates that would
be Unfair to smaller packers. A number of
affidavits from Chicago were read.

youngest of her seven children was 50 wears
old when she died. 16 years ago. There are
four grandchildren in New York, ali mid

South. beside lots of great-grandchildren
Before Mrs. Ridley reached her Tooth year

Grand Scale.

Emperor Dom Pedro Built . Hospital on .
Grand Scale.
Doctor Stellwag, the famous oculist, while
lecturing to his students at Vienna recently,
told pretty story of the late Dom Pedro
of Brazil He said that he had had many
opportunities of conversing with his late
ex-Emperor, man of the highest character
and the greatest culture, whose heart and
mind were always filled with plans for i'm
proving the condition OF his people.
1t was one of his dearest wishes to have
big hospital in Rio. but he lacked the money
wherewith to build it, and the wealthy
could not be induced to subscribe. Then an
idea came to him, and he began to bestow
titles. ANY man who was willing to give
good round sum to the hospital could call
himself "count," ''viscount" or ''baron."
The patent of nobility was not hereditary,
and if the children wished to inherit the
fathers title. they had to pay over again
Rio was suddenly peopled with mobiles, and
the hospital was built on a grand scale.
When it was completed. the Emperor
placed over its gates, "Human Vanity to
Human Misery"

drive, built last summer to connect Cape

beach drive running east is badly washed
down by the sea, which repeats its furious
attack at every high tide.
