WHEELING DAILY 1NTELLIGENcER MONDAY DECEMBER 1892

ferred not TO do SO, and rs Mrs. Hall re-
turned to her guest she half closed the
door so that the lounge where Julia lay
would be hidden from Mrs. Raymond.
That was the last her mother saw OF
her. IL is the last, so far "a is positive
ly known, that anyone saw OF her.
When Mrs. Raymond lett, at about
4:30 o'clock, Mrs. Hall went to the din
ing room, and missing her daughter,
made hurried search Of the house, and
then went around the neighborhood
with tho news that Julia had again dis
appeared. One OF the first places
searched was the we'll just outside the
back door OF Mr.. Halls house by which
Julia left.
The search was made for reason that
is made public now for the first time.
Three weeks before her first disappear
ance, Julia came into her house with
all her clothes saturated with water.
She explained to her amazed mother
that she had just tried to drown herself
in the well.
The we'll bucket is drawn by chain.
Letting the bucket down to the water,
she had lowered herself by the chain
and crouched in the bottom OF the we'll.
There was only foot OF water there
then, and she could not get her head
under, although by crouching down she
had brought the water up to her throat.
Failing in her attempt to drown her.
self, she had climbed up by the chain
to the surface.
This story was told by Rev. Mr.
Bowers, who added that for a slight,
delicate woman, incumbered with
clothing heavy with water, to climb up
a small chain out of deep well, seems
to him an almost superhuman feat.
This, connected with the facts regarding
Miss Halls previous disappearance. has
created a general belief here that the
unfortunate woman, 'manifestly afllict-
ed with suicidal mania, has provided
some sure means OF doing away with
herself.
Miss Hall is pretty, popular and
thirty-three years old. Last spring,
owing to i'll health, she was obliged to
give up position she had long held in
the borough postofIice and also that OF
librarian OF the free reading room. She
is lady OF culture and education,
prominent and active member of the
Methodist church and the Epworth
League, and a leader in the society OF
her native town.

CRISP sNuRBEp.

How To Was Treated at tho Reform Club
Banquet-Mr. FairchiId's CoId-Blooded
Rem1rk.
NEW YoRE, Dec 11.-At the opening
of the Reform Club dinner last night
Hon. Charles F. Crisp, speaker of the
national house OF representatives at
Washington, was among the promi-
nent gentlemen at the speakers table
on the platform. He sat between ex-
Secretary Carl schurz and Ex-Governor
Campbell, OF Ohio. 1t was expected by
nearly everyone present that Speaker
Crisp would make an address, but at
II AS o'clock Mr.. Crisp rose and left the
banquet hall, apparently very much
disturbed. 1t was reported that he was
i'll, but this was not the case. Speaker
Crisp was seen by reporter as he was
leaving the hall.

asked.

"What ia the reason, are you ill2"

"But the Associated Press has already

the Associated Press at its request. The
Associated Press also seems to have
thought that / was to be called upon to
speak. However, have not been asked
to speak tonight"
Mr.. Crisp then excused himself and
left the hall. Tho reporter then asked
ex-secretary Fairchild for some explana-
ton OF the withdrawal Of Speaker Crisp.
MIR. Fairchild frankly said that the
reason why Mr.. Crisp did not speak
was that he had not been invited to
speak.
"But Speaker Crisp is Democrat of
national Importance. Was there any
special reason why he should not have
been invited to speak?"
"Well," said Mr.. Fairchild, with some
hesitation, "there were so many Demo-
Gratis OF prominence present that we
could not let them oil speak, so We had
to limit the number of speakers"
"There was much disappointment in
the banquet hall that Mr.. Crisp did not
speak.

A HEART Ar AUCTION.
Something to Rouse Evcn Blase Paris Into
UnfeIgned Interest

Something to Rouse Even Blase Paris Into
UnfeIgn0d Interest
LONDON, Dec. ia royal heart on
the auction block is the strange and
gruesome spectacle which will rouse
even blase Paris into unfeigned interest
in a few days. 1t is said to be the
heart OF the unhappiest Of all French
princes, the Dauphin, son OF Louis WI.
and Marie Antoinette, and it has been
preserved for ninety-seven years in o
jar OF spirits. where it was placed by the
famous surgeon Pelletan, who made an
autopsy in the temple. The history of
the relic is authentic. The only cues
ton is whether the boy who died in the
temple 1895 was the real Dauphin or a
child who had been substituted for the
prince when the boy died.
Pelletan and three colleagues assign
ed made post mortem, and during an
interval, when his associates went to the
window, chatting, Pelletan removed the
heart from the body, wrapped in his
handkerchief and slipped it into his
pocket. He preserved the relic in a
vessel OF brandy until Louis XVIII. be-
came king, in 1917, when he offered to
give the heart to the king for royal bur!
ial. Louis neither refused nor accepted
Politicians offer, and Pelletan then sent
the relic to the sacristy of the arch
bishopric of Paris. In 1888 the people
of Paris sacked the archbishep's palace,
and DR.. Jules Pelletan, son OF the sur
geon, saved the royal relic at the risk Of
his lie. He has recently died, and the
heart, in its relinquary, is to come to
the hammer.

Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure cold? We will tell you.
To cure cold quickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. The first symp-
toms are dry loud cough and sneez-
ing. Tho cough is soon followed by
watery expectoration and the sneezing
by a profuse watery discharge from
the nose. In severe eases there is q
thin white coating on the tongue.
What to do2 1t is only necessary to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will
greatly lessen the severity of the cold
and in many cases will etfectually coun-
teract it, and cure what would have
been severe cold within one or two
days time. Try it and be convinced.

MISS HALLS DISAPPEARANCE
Searching Parties Fail TO Find Her-Fears
Tint She has Killed Herself.

Searching Parties Fail 10 Find Her-Rears
That She has Killed Herself
New CANAAN, CoNN., Dec. 11.-soon
after dark last evening the last OF the
nine searching parties that have been
securing the country south, southeast
and southwest OF hereSreturned, and
none Of them reported having found
even q clew OF the missing Miss Julia
II. Hall, daughter OF Banker Russell L.
Hall, Of this town.
The search was pursued in the direc-
tons only OF Stamford, Darian and tho
Branchville road, because information
that seemed almost positive came to
tho family last night that Miss Hall was
seen within three hours OF her disap-
pearance yesterday afternoon walking
south on the Marine road, about two
miles south OF here. Tonight that clew
turns out to be Of a very doubtful char
acter, and there is absolutely nothing
now to guide the searchers, who will
start out again tomorrow at daylight.
Soon after Miss Hall was found at
New Rochelle, after her Thanksgiving
Dly disappearance u N1lS5 ~ HOAAIt Vi
Hartford, came to visit the Halls and
remained until yesterday afternoon.
She had been an intimate schoolgirl
friend Of Miss Hall at the Connecticut
Normal School, and her companionship
had a boneficent effect upon Miss Hall,
raising her spirits to such degree that
the family thought all danger OF re-
turn Of the mental depression from
which Miss Hall had suffered had en-
tirely passed.
Within few days Miss Hall had re-
sumcd her old place in the evening
family gatherings. Yesterday, however,
she did seem depressed at the prospect
OF Miss De VOLTS departure, and this
relapse was unfortunately aggravated
by the undisguised curiosity expressed
about her condition by two women who
called and were seen by Miss Hall.
When Miss De Wolff left the house
Julia was lying on n lounge in tho din.
ing room, and did not go TO the door to
say goodby. Mrs. Hall did, and then
busted herself about some household
duties. At4:l5-Miss De Wolff having

room, adjoining the dining room.

with discussion of the discipline of the
church. He did not recognize the iufallibili.y
